Not sure what your question is. Would you please restate it. Also we don't do other's homework. If this is home work please seek out the answer yourself. | ||||||
122 | How to vote Biblically | Bible general | EdB | 242881 | ||
Ideally our next president would be a Christian and an experienced leader. That said many people that claim leadership abilities and or Christianity often are neither. Scripture tells us leaders are appointed by God, therefore if we want to vote for God's man we should seek God's leading. Too often God's people try to make decisions based on human reasoning instead of seeking God's leading. Abraham and Haggar is a perfect example of trying to do what God said He would accomplish. My answer to your question would be to seek God's leading to who you should vote for. If every Christian voted and voted as directed by God we would have Godly leadership. |

123 | Earth's fate | Bible general | EdB | 242978 | ||
I think the best answer to this thread was already given. Doc in his first response to this thread said, " As Romans 1 clearly explains, it is not truth that men seek, rather it is justification to avoid being obligated to the Creator." That answers the question. |

124 | Biblically waht is the difference? | Bible general | EdB | 242983 | ||
I find the statement made in Doc last post to be interesting and perhaps not totally correct. The statement is "They tend to put a lot of stock in the words of those they call the Apostolic Fathers. In that sense, they are a lot like the Roman Catholics and the Pentecostals." I believe the correct statement should be. In that sense they are a lot like all of Christianity that does not hold to the Reformed Theology. Let me add I believe Matthew 28:19-20 (NKJV) 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. Clearly establishes the fact the teaching of the patriarchs is critical and required to true Christianity. |

Please excuse the my misuse of the word "critical" I meant to say crucial. | ||||||
126 | Biblically waht is the difference? | Bible general | EdB | 242987 | ||
My response was concerning apostolic fathers, or leadership of the early church. I was not addressing Apostolic succession. Yes you are correct the Assemblies of God do not hold to Apostalic Succession. |

127 | WAR ROOM (prayer room)? | Bible general | EdB | 243061 | ||
Justme EMBounds wrote some excellent books on prayer. Possibilities Of Prayer and Power Through Prayer are two that come to mind, I believe there are others. I viewed the movie War Room much like you, a call to Christians to prayer. Something that is much neglected by the modern church. Of course you have to have expectations for your prayers. And I will concede that many times the expectations are based on fleshly lust rather than spiritual need. But that does not negate the need for fervent prayer by every believer. The Holy Spirit will bring correction where correction is needed, our responsibility is to pray and let God deal with motive. My wife has a special place in our back bedroom and I do most of my praying closed in my den. Jesus told us to have a prayer closet and I believe this is the biggest failure of the modern church to stress the need to get alone for fervent prayer. I have learned that the more we pray the closer our relationship with God becomes. Nothing brings us into a closer relationship that I know. We are to pray without ceasing but we also need to get away from it all, close ourselves into a prayer room and spend time in God's presence. |

128 | Does the Cepher have Family Records? | Bible general | EdB | 243152 | ||
You are kidding, right? Just what you need a book that restores everything missing from the genuine scriptures. Who cares if they are inspired or manufactured in man's imagination. | ||||||
129 | Does the Cepher have Family Records? | Bible general | EdB | 243155 | ||
Sorry I appeared arrogant. In truth I don't know if Cepher has a family record section or not. This forum is for the study of authentic scripture. Perhaps a forum dealing with pseudo biblical text would know the answer. Incidentally having a family record section or not, is not a qualifier by which a book is to be judged whether a book is to be used to be married by. My suggestion get yourself a Holy Bible and read it. Within it is God's description of what a marriage is and must be. |

130 | Hyper calvinism and Backsliding? | Bible general | EdB | 243157 | ||
Historic definition In his publication from 1825, George Croft defined Hyper-Calvinism as holding to a particular design of Christ's death and denying a general design. He also notes that Hyper-Calvinists were generally styled High-Calvinists because they had views above genuine Calvinism: denying that the death of Christ was "in any respect" intended for the salvation of all, not inviting all to believe in Christ for salvation, contending that invitations should only be given to the "willing", and holding to antinomian doctrines, which tend to discourage holiness. In a "Protestant Dictionary" from 1904, Charles Neil defined Hyper-Calvinism as a view that maintains the theory of limited atonement and limits the scope of gospel invitations to the elect Modern definition Modern definitions of Hyper-Calvinism usually distinguish it from points of Calvinism, such as limited atonement or supralapsarianism. There is not, however, unanimity regarding the definition. Curt Daniel defines Hyper-Calvinism as "that school of supralapsarian Five Point Calvinism which so stresses the sovereignty of God by overemphasizing the secret (will of God)over the revealed will (of God) and eternity over time, that it minimizes the responsibility of Man, notably with respect to the denial of the word ‘offer’ in relation to the preaching of the Gospel of a finished and limited atonement, thus undermining the universal duty of sinners to believe savingly with assurance that the Lord Jesus Christ died for them." Daniel goes on to suggest that the real difference between "High" and "Hyper-" Calvinism is the word "offer". Iain Murray adopts a different approach, putting the emphasis on the denial of a "universal command to repent and believe" and the assertion "that we have only warrant to invite to Christ those who are conscious of a sense of sin and need." Jim Ellis argues that "adequately defining what constitutes the fundamental error of hyper-Calvinism" is problematic because many definitions "blur the distinction between it and legitimate Calvinism", and most of them include an apparent bias against Five Point Calvinism. Ellis goes on to say that Hyper-Calvinism "consists of two fundamental errors: a denial of duty-faith and a resultant denial of the universal call of the gospel." All quotes taken from Wikipedia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-Calvinism Frankly I have as as much distain for Calvinism as I do Arminiamism. Both are theological positions conceived by man and held by many a inspired instead of man made concepts. They have done more damage to the unity of Protestant church than any other concept, doctrine or teaching. |

132 | Hyper calvinism and Backsliding? | Bible general | EdB | 243164 | ||
I never taught dispensationalist as such, to me the differences of God's interactions with mankind are so obvious that I didn't see a need. What I focused on was man's resistance to hearing God no matter how God approached them. I think there are many in the church world that think they can advance their ministry by focusing on unusual concepts. They usually have little actual fact or inspiration and a lot of opinion. Surely even the most rigid Reformer can see God interacted with man in various ways at various times throughout scripture. |

I think you are assigning more value to Dispensationalism that there is. The only exposure to Dispensational theology that I have been exposed to was via personal reading of Clarence Larkin and Dake. There were perhaps others I don't recall. I have never heard a sermon, teaching, or seminar on Dispensationalism. I think the term gets thrown around a lot in connection with End Times theology. We the AG believe in Millenniumialism, the rapture, Second coming, not in that order but as far as teaching on the common divisions on the Dispensationalism that does not occur generally within the AG denomination. That is not to say some pastor some where has never have taught on it. I think the general principals of Dispensationalism can been clearly seen when we look at how God interacted with man down through the ages. I checked with three other AG pastors and they all say about the same thing. Dake once was the fair haired preacher of Pentecostalism. When his bible came out you almost had to use it or be a "heretic" . However many errors, bad theology and just plain false teaching in his theology had come to light and only the very die hard cling to his teaching. Frankly my perception of Dake Dispensationalism was send in your money and get a "full colored" chart of the Dispensations. What s important is the knowledge that down through the ages God interacted with man in many ways. These interactions were planned by God from the beginning and each accomplished God's purpose. |

Hebrew 6 doesn't skirt around the issue. Itclearly says a person can lose their salvation. And if they do there is no return for them. Now if someone wants to change the meaning of the words spoken in this passage they can but scripture is very clear on that too. Rev 22:18. I don't see the mystery. And I also fail to understand why Calvinist are worried about it. Live life holy and trust in Jesus for your salvation and there is no problem. The problem only comes when you teach you can live as the world and grace will save you because you were chosen. Such non sense! |

Justme I apologized to WamYah for my response. When I first read his question I thought it was an attempt to add credibility to a false book. I reacted incorrectly and I apologized. I ask your forgiveness for my ill manner behavior. |

Before everyone goes after me perhaps you need to understand what the Cepher is. It is book that basically disagrees with the canon of both the Old and New Testament. It includes books like the Book Jasher, Enoch and other books that aren't considered canonical. It also modifies most accepted translations claiming it is true to the original manuscripts, however the accepted translations have been widely accepted as authentic translations some have stood for hundreds of years. This "book" is published by a publisher other than Lockman, so I was more than a little curious as why we didn't address his question to "books" publisher since they would surely know what their "book" contains. It was if he was using the Lockman funded StudyBible forum to advertise an another publishers work. SPAM? Now after all the furor generated over it I would say he was successful. |

138 | The SBF what does it need to do? | Bible general | EdB | 243449 | ||
Being a charter member of this forum I have seen and participated in many changes and directions that have taken place on the forum. Early on we had excellent discussions on scripture with input from many people of different, backgrounds, denominations and understandings of scripture. Interestingly I believed I learned the most from our Catholic brothers, especially Emmaus who has since decided to leave the forum. The problem developed when people realized they could use this forum for a soap box from which they could expound their views, beliefs and feelings. Many of these were steeped in cultic falsehoods or Satanism. So controls had to be put into place to control these types of problems. However the good intentioned controls have since been perverted by some to control the forum. People have learned to smack down others making them look foolish or unreasoned to dismiss any idea that does not agree with their agenda or belief or simply make the anything they don’t agree with to disappear. This frustrated people and they saw any effort to bring the forum back to great Bible Study Forum was all but lost, so they left and in many cases never to return again. Over the years we have lost hundreds of treasured posters from this forum, some that displayed insight and knowledge far above what is commonly displayed today. I remain in contact with many today and I know the reason for their departure is what I am saying. Can we bring it back? I think so but I think it will require Lockman to actively get involved again and I’m not sure they want to make that commitment in time and money. When I see the forum today it breaks my heart. There is little or no discussion only point and counter point as if each responder is in a debate. Views need to be posted as views instead of dogmatic indictments of anyone that does not hold that view. Responses have to be carefully worded to prevent a responder from feeling mocked, belittled or intimidated which is often the case today. Frankly I see little reason to post quotes that aren’t indicative of Bible Study and usually fail to elicit further discussion. They are usually pertinent only to the original speakers generation and have little relevance to today’s Christian’s needs. Interestingly many of the old participants of this forum were also supporters and customers of Lockman Foundation, I’m not sure that is true today. |

Verses 4-6. It is taking of a saved person and says if they fall away it is impossible to restore them back to salvation. It goes on and says to do so would require them again to crucify Jesus for their sin. Then look at Hebews 10:25 it says if we are saved and willingly sin there is no longer a sacrifice for our sin. Two very clear verses saying the same thing. To be saved and then willingly sin there is no longer a sacrifice under which redemption for that sin can be found. I not do believe this sin being talked about here is a sin like telling a lie, but rather the sin of apostasy where we deny Christ, deny the Holy Spirit or deny God himself. |
