Hi, Biblesawyer :: First off, I welcome you to Study Bible Forum and hope you find it a hospitable place to study and learn with us more about God's word. And, secondly, I notice that you made seven identical (multiple) posts. The way to avoid this is easy. Press the "submit" button only once and allow the system adequate time to process your submission. Again, a hearty welcome. --Hank | ||||||
123 | APOLOGY ! ! ! ! | Bible general Archive 4 | Hank | 206198 | ||
Imm, thank you for your apology to the Forum. Though spats are always unproductive and violate Forum guidelines, they nevertheless occur from time to time. You have handled this breach in Forum etiquette properly and it is hoped that it has been a learning experience for you and that you will move on to more productive contributions on SBF. You are still new to the Forum and your contribution to this unfortunate episode is thus more understandable -- and excusable -- than is the case with a user who has been on the Forum quite some time and should have learned better by now than to engage in such behavior. We all of us would do well to bear in mind two things every time we post to Study Bible Forum: (1) the guidelines that govern every post, and, (2) that there is a large number of readers of this Forum who come to it to learn more about God's word and it is therefore extremely unlikely that they are even remotely concerned with petty quarrels between registrants. It is always safe and desirable to speak to Bible issues and avoid ad hominem pettiness. This post, since it is on the subject of quarrelling and subsequent apologies, applies as much to your quarrelling partner as is does to you, of course. And by projection, it applies to all registrants on SBF. And that includes this writer. Welcome to SBF and I extend my sincere good wishes to you that your experiences on the Forum may be happy and productive ones. --Hank | ||||||
124 | Who constitutes the church? | Eph 4:3 | Hank | 206087 | ||
Hi, Val :: Dear heart, it never ceases to amaze how little it takes for some people to be offended! Like how, in your illustration, the woman in your group was offended by the use of the very words that the Lord Himself used in the model prayer with which he instructed His disciples on prayer. And you relate that she also expressed displeasure in your visiting the Church of the Nazarene. Well, now, isn't that just too bad? Who does this person think she is, the keeper of the keys to the kingdom of heaven? Is she privy to things about which we common mortals know nothing? Surely she must have inside information from the gates of heaven that even a single visit to a congregation of the Church of the Nazarene is enough to tarnish one's soul for life! It rankles me that such foolish self-righteous windbags set themselves up as lord and master over the spiritual welfare of others, without having a clue that they themselves are as blind as bats to their own shortcomings, adrift in a spiritual fog of their own making. ..... Regarding the praying of the so-called Lord's Prayer, Val, I do it myself. Hardly a night goes by that I don't pray this beautiful prayer as soon as my head hits the pillow, right before dropping off to sleep. And I do want to emphasize that I PRAY it, not merely SAY it. Yes, I pray other prayers during the day as well, but a better way I do not know than to knit up the cares of the day with this prayer that came from the lips of Jesus, my dear Savior and Lord. Blessings to you, Val. --Hank | ||||||
125 | Do you know a way to get into the Bible? | Heb 8:10 | Hank | 206066 | ||
Greetings, kind California surfer, let not my pedantry vex thy spirit, but please brighten the path of this benighted old wayfarer by showing him that portion of the Holy Scriptures wherein it teacheth that thou. or any other soul, hast been a Christian since the day of his birth. Try as I will to find such teaching within the pages of Holy Writ, I confess utter failure in my quest. --Hank | ||||||

COLT .045 (Steven) :: When someone brings the authenticity of a biblical passage into question, I should expect him to offer cogent reasons for doing so, and the mere fact that the passage may APPEAR TO YOU to be in conflict with one's interpretation of that passage or another passage does not measure up as being a cogent reason at all. (1) Do you have any evidence whatever that the text has been tampered with? (2) Do you bring the authenticity of one text into question in order to force it to comply with your interpretation of another? (3) Do you customarily dismiss the authenticity of a text which you do not understand or with which you do not agree? ...... It is, as Searcher has already pointed out, serious business to question a biblical text, particularly in the absence of iron-clad proof that that text has been corrupted. Upon whose authority are we proceeding? Who granted us the right to question or pass judgment upon the word of God? .... It must strike the other readers of Study Bible Forum as odd -- as it does this reader -- to see one lone registrant question the authenticity of a portion of Scripture which countless biblical scholars down through the long halls of time have not seen fit to do. --Hank | ||||||

COLT .045 (Steven) :: Immediately after posting my question to you, I noticed your post to which I'm now responding, which was your response to Humbled. So you may feel free to ignore my question. ....... Is the church in which you have your membership the same as that which is commonly called the Church of Christ? The reason for my asking is that your description of it could easily be applied to the group who call themselves the Church of Christ. ...... To answer your question regarding a list of denominations that are forbidden on SBF, no such list exists. Please read the Forum Guidelines. Everyone is welcome to register and postto this Forum who agrees to, and in fact does, abide by these Guidelines that have been laid down by the owner and sponsor of Study Bible Forum, the Lockman Foundation. Our objective is not nor has it ever been to ban sincere and honest seekers after God's truth as revealed in His word, but each user becomes accountable to do that which he agreed to do upon registration, which is to comply with Forum Guidelines and Terms of Use. Being a sola scriptura Forum, we hold the Holy Scriptures in the highest esteem possible and thus repudiate any and all theological and doctrinal claims that have no basis in Scripture. If you at any time have questions or seek assistance with Forum-related problems, please do let us "old timers" know about them. --Hank | ||||||

COLT .045, or Steven :: Pursuant to an apparent drift of some of your posts, it seems both fair and necessary to pose the following question to you, a simple one that you can answer easily. Are you a member of, or do you subscribe to the teachings of, the group known as Jehovah's Witnesses? Please respond at your earliest convenience. --Hank | ||||||

Appropriate questions and excellent observations, Val. Keep standing in His grace and keeping holding fast to that which is good! ..... "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed" (Galatians 1:8). The Greek word translated "accursed" is anathema, a mighty strong and emphatic word which refers to "devoting someone to destruction in eternal hell" (John MacArthur). God bless. --Hank | ||||||

Jamison :: I've read your posts. They contain a great deal about so-called soul sleep, a topic that has been treated of on this Forum a number of times and denounced as unscriptural for an equal number of times. Another fruit of my labors garnered from reading your posts is the distinct impressions that an inordinate number of them appear to promote Mormonism, another topic that has been treated of on this Forum and dismissed as being a cult promulgating another gospel than that which is laid down in Scripture. ....... This Forum subscribes to the reformed doctrine of sola scriptura, which by definition excludes other sources that purport to be divinely inspired, among which is the Book of Mormon........ You are arguing certain points of view freely, yet you cloak yourself in secrecy, even to the point of failing to divulge your church affiliation or to put as much as a single word about yourself in the personal profile section which is provided for all registrants. ....... You seem to embrace Mormonism. Are you yourself a Mormon, or do you believe and teach the doctrines of the LDS? You seem to embrace "soul-sleep." Do you believe that doctrine? ..... You accuse Doc, a long-time and respected contributor to this Forum of using bad logic, of misleading others, and of attempting to discredit you. He has done nothing of the kind. On the contrary, he merely is trying to juxtapose your opinions with what Scripture teaches so that all who read these pages may be enabled to compare your opinions and points of view with what Scripture teaches. I don't impugn your motives; I don't even pretend to understand precisely what they are or where you purport to go in your posts to this Forum. But I do kindly ask you to give earnest heed to what this Forum is about by refreshing yourself thoroughly on its aims and mission, and especially on its clear and specific guidelines to registrants....... A common thread that I've detected in your posts, including the response to Doc to which I'm attaching this post, frankly reminds me of something Charles Haddon Spurgeon said, with which I will close this post to you: "I am amazed that those who think so much of what the Holy Spirit can teach them often think so little of what the Holy Spirit has taught others." My 73 years of life on this earth, 59 of them as a follower of Christ, teach me to savor the wisdom of Spurgeon's words, and I commend them to your serious consideration also. --Hank | ||||||

Val, in addition to listening to many of his folksy, chatty "Thru the Bible" radio broadcasts, I've heard him preach from the pulpit (in recorded messages). He was as powerful a preacher as I've ever heard. What a man of God he was! --Hank | ||||||

Hi, Val :: Good ole Vernon McGee! I may not agree with his every word on every topic, but I love him nevertheless. I have the entire written transcript of his "Thru the Bible" radio talks, and can think of few things that I enjoy reading more. Hardly a day passes that I don't read a few pages of McGee. In his preface to the "Thru the Bible" series, he says, "Behind these messages is a great deal of research and study in order to interpret the Bible from a popular rather than from a scholarly (and too-often boring) viewpoint. Perhaps not being especially scholarly myself helps indear me to Vernon McGee's sound, common sense and down to earth approach to Scripture. No one could say it better than Dr. McGee himself when he wrote, "We have definitely and deliberately attempted to put the cookies on the bottom shelf so that the kiddies could get them." And I've been enjoying those cookies for years. :-) Just a day or two ago I revisited Matthew 1 with McGee, and he made even the 'begats' interesting. --Hank | ||||||
137 | can the SOTM be taken literally? | Matthew | Hank | 204635 | ||
SAKII, how would you propose to take Christ's Sermon on the Mount, if not literally? For years we've stood by and watched the ill winds of liberalism cast their numbing pall on the modern church, and it is evident for all to see what happens when we cease to take God at His word. The winds of disbelief, the propensity to symbolize everything, the trend toward watering down the blessed Scriptures, which are the very breath of God, and explaining away everything we don't like or don't understand or don't agree with -- clearly all that is left in the wake of such a cavalier treatment of the Holy Scriptures is not the church but only a shell of what once was the body of Christ; not a regenerate follower of Christ but a Christian in name alone. ..... So, again, how would you suggest we take the Sermon on the Mount? --Hank | ||||||
138 | Is Jesus the same God as God, or a God? | John 1:1 | Hank | 204611 | ||
Dear HopeNJesus :: Here are a few passages of Scripture that I commend to you for study and reflection: Matthew 1:23; John 1:1, 14; 10:30; 20:28; Acts 1:23; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:8. By the way, no responsible translator is on record as agreeing with the Watchtower's New World Translation regarding its rendering of John 1:1, saying as it does that the Word was a god. The verbiage that is common to every responsible translation is, "the Word was God." The JW version of the Bible is freighted with all kinds of errors, not the least of which is John 1:1 which, exegeted as it is written, actually teaches polytheism. The New World Translation is in reality no translation at all, but a horrid and deliberate adulteration and perversion of the sacred text, having as its goal the twisting and bending of the text to force it to comply with the aberrant doctrines of this cult. ..... Thanks for your question. Welcome to SBF. --Hank | ||||||
139 | Why can't I speak in tongues yet ? | Acts | Hank | 204285 | ||
Tam, it takes considerable time for most people to get a real handle on SBF and feel comfortable with it. And this of course calls for a certain amount of patience, in which, saith the venerable King James Bible, "possess ye your souls" (see Luke 21:19). ..... Being myself counted among the early pioneers of this Forum -- those on whom you have graciously pinned the label of "old timers" -- I tend at times to forget the trials through which newcomers often must go. So far as I'm aware, it is expressly not the intent of any of the seasoned users to willfully ignore the new ones, but on the contrary, to encourage them and offer them help if they would but ask. So, please, dear one, please ask when you need help; but please do not attack others based on your evident but mistaken perception that they are being deliberately aloof or otherwise behaving themselves ungraciously toward you and your posts. ...... I note with interest that you have made a large number of posts in a fairly short time, and I venture to say that others have too. So it would appear that you have learned the ropes with uncommon rapidity, and consequently I'm sure most of us have been unaware that you have had problems that needed our attention and help. There are many here who will be happy to assist you and all other sincere and conscientious newcomers in every way possible. Just ask. And, like all the rest of us, veteran and neophyte alike, must do, keep always in mind the aims and purposes of Study Bible Forum and strive ever to abide by the guidelines that our gracious host, the Lockman Foundation, has laid down to keep the Forum on track and running as smoothly as possible. --Hank | ||||||

Several over the years, Azure. And the good news is that in all the versions, everything turns out just fine for those who love the Lord, who are called according to His purpose. Now that's really good news that you'll never hear on the news networks. Soli Deo Gloria! --Hank | ||||||
