1221 | The Blessing of Our Present Protection! | 1 Pet 1:5 | srbaegon | 21704 | ||
I'm reminded of Psalm 91, especially the last verses. "Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name. He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. With a long life I will satisfy him And let him see My salvation." Steve |

1222 | Fear God! | 1 Pet 1:17 | srbaegon | 35816 | ||
Hi Joe, Well put. I had bought into the misrepresentations and characterizations of Puritans until I read their works for myself. Was I ever surprised?! Steve |

1223 | did Jesus die for our sins or sickness | 1 Pet 2:24 | srbaegon | 164195 | ||
Hello atdcross, One of the cardinal rules of Biblical interpretation (or hermeneutics) is context. One must determine the meaning of Scripture within its immediate context, and then use it to build on other Scripture. Your use of John 11:3-4 is invalid, because you reverse this process. Steve |

1224 | How literal do we go? | 1 Pet 3:1 | srbaegon | 124573 | ||
Hello Joy, I can't disagree with the supression of women in the Gentile cultures. Why I don't see is how the Bible regulates it. Let me give an example: Ephes. 5:25-30 (ESV) Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, [26] that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, [27] so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. [28] In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. In this passage, husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved the church. What His ultimate aim? To sanctify His bride and present to Himself one who was spotless. The passage goes on to say that husbands are to love their wives with the same purpose in mind--that his wife might be more holy and sinless. How can this be regulating suppression? Steve |

1225 | How literal do we go? | 1 Pet 3:1 | srbaegon | 124580 | ||
Hello Joy, I agree with most of what you say. But does it regulate suppression, or does it rather replace it? I see it as giving these Gentile believers an entirely new standard, not keeping an old one in check. It's like becoming a new creation in Christ being applied to marriage. You are a brand new person; here is the brand new way to live. Steve P.S. I'm camping with my wife this weekend, so this will probably be my last post until Monday. |

1226 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | 1 Pet 3:21 | srbaegon | 59561 | ||
Hello kalos ...and Hank and Sir Pent and others who may have chimed in. It appears that Romans4_5 is teaching from an ultradispensational framework which requires a very strict and highly literal New Testament hermeneutic. So in that regard it is not totally outrageous, but it certainly is confusing. Steve |

1227 | How Does Baptism Save? | 1 Pet 3:21 | srbaegon | 78388 | ||
Hello Dispiclerami Your Greek grammer is correct here. No argument. But let's back up. What was baptism for? Matthew 3:6 (ESV) and they were baptized by [John] in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Mark 1:4 (ESV) John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. The message was of repentance. The people confessed their sins and were baptized to demonstrate their commitment. At Pentecost, Peter picks up on this formula with the application to the Lord Jesus. Repent, then be baptized as an open acknowledgement of that repentance. In neither case is the act of baptism the saving agent. Rather it is the faith of the individual who repents from sin and to God/Christ. In 1 Peter 3:20-21, Peter makes the same application. Noah had faith in God and was saved by the flood. We have our faith in the Lord Jesus and are saved by baptism--not that it can do anything of itself, but it represents in Whom we put our trust. Steve |

1228 | How Does Baptism Save? | 1 Pet 3:21 | srbaegon | 78814 | ||
Hello Disciplerami Sins are washed away by the blood before baptism. If one says that baptism is necessary for salvation, then baptism must be the saving agent. Seems simple to me. Steve |

1229 | Those who died before Jesus' death | 1 Pet 4:6 | srbaegon | 138880 | ||
Hello Angel, You wrote: "when you state that Scripture and only Scripture has the Truth, don't you reject Jesus' own words that the Paraclete would come and bring the fulness of Truth? (John 16:12-13)" Not at all. The further writings of the apostles is the fulfillment of this passage. You wrote: "nor did anything written claim to have offered the full revelation of God in all matters of Faith and Worship..." I beg to differ. 2 Pet 1:3-4 (ESV) His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, [4] by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. While we do not have the full revelation of God himself, we definitely have everything concerning faith and worship. You wrote: "aren't we condemning all those who, at their death, due to insufficient chronological development (infants-children) or through some mental impairment which impedes their intellectual development, cannot receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the news about God's Mercy and Gift of Eternal Life?" Again, not at all. There is sound Scriptural support that the blood of Christ covers these people. Concerning narratives, of course they are relevant to God's plan. If they weren't, they would not be in Scripture. Tim's point was that one cannot take an historical or narrative account and build a theology on it. There must be an imperative to support it. That's why there is no ongoing command for believers to place all their money in a common pool for use. Steve |

1230 | Those who died before Jesus' death | 1 Pet 4:6 | srbaegon | 138972 | ||
Hello Angel, "So the Holy Spirit left the Church after the Apocalyptic Writings of John?" No. I am simply stating that the canon of Scripture is what the Lord Jesus was referring to in the upper room. The Holy Spirit's work after that was to help us understand the totality of what He had given. "If we did, why would Paul and John be looking forward to a change that will occur..." If you had read the passage I gave, you would see the reference is to life and godliness while we are on this earth and has nothing to do with our knowledge of God in heaven which will be vastly more complete. "Just because something is not found in an explicit text in Scripture, who among men has the power to deny God the Authority to function outside of the textual (word per word) expression of Scripture?" Nobody, but that is not the difficulty. God Himself has stated that He does not change. His plan of salvation is clearly given in Scripture--those who have the faculties to understand must place their faith in Him. There is no other answer. If there is a way we do not know about, then God is not trustworthy, because He has stated that there is only one way. I am not limiting God's structure and design. I am explaining it. "When we finally accept our limitations as the finite beings that we are and we accept God's infinite Wisdom and Design... then we begin to be born again!:" No, it's when we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Your use of John 3 supports my position. Jesus is stating emphatically that we must be born again. The fact that it's a work of the Holy Spirit does not mean there are myriad ways that He does it.

1231 | Those who died before Jesus' death | 1 Pet 4:6 | srbaegon | 139068 | ||
Hello Angel, Obviously you are not understanding my posts. I agree with everything you wrote here, but you respond as if I disagree. I have stated (and you have acknowledged my statement) that children and mentally deficient are eligible for salvation. The difference between us is this. I base my belief on propositional truth. You seem to base your belief on sentimentality. Steve |

1232 | Those who died before Jesus' death | 1 Pet 4:6 | srbaegon | 139373 | ||
Hello Angel, I greatly object to your constant need to misconstrue my words. I never stated that God was required to be exceptionally specific in Biblical text. My point has been and continues be that we cannot make dogmatic statements about God's work or design beyond what is stated in Scripture including your notion that anyone will be allowed a chance to believe after he dies.

1233 | can Satan plant thoughts into our minds? | 1 Pet 5:8 | srbaegon | 214453 | ||
Hello dieselcowboy, Terms of Use dictate that answers are to be Scripturally based. Would you please provide the Scripture to uphold the claim that "Satan chose your head as a dwelling place but God chose the heart?" Steve |

These are good verses, but none of them, separately or together, proves what you stated. Steve |

1235 | what is up with eternity | 2 Peter | srbaegon | 22523 | ||
Partial agreement....................... Greetings! God is eternal and timeless. Absolutely. I disagree with your statement that time is a manmade concept. It was God who established the cycle of "day" and "week" in Gen 1. It's true we benefit from these cycles, and God uses them to help us in reference to Himself. Steve |

1236 | What does antinomianism mean? | 2 Pet 2:18 | srbaegon | 144615 | ||
Hello Searcher, I pulled this from the website: "But possibly the most noteworthy instance is that of the Plymouth Brethren, of whom some are quite frankly Antinomian in their doctrine of justification and sanctification. It is their constant assertion that the law is not the rule or standard of the life of the Christian." I didn't know we were held in such "high" regard. ;-) Actually, this is probably one of the top reasons why Spurgeon had his poor view of PB's in England. Steve |

Hi JMSCOTT I simply don't understand why you are making this distinction. Hank has done a much better job than I in explaining "scriptures," so I'll not continue. Steve |

1238 | Didn't ALL things come from God, evil to | 1 John 1:5 | srbaegon | 136752 | ||
Hello CiY127, You didn't answer the question. What Scripture tells us that God created Satan as His second-in-command? Steve |

1239 | If you live right, you are rewarded? | 1 John 1:9 | srbaegon | 134308 | ||
Hello survivor, The phrases "straw man," "red herring," and "non sequitur" all came to mind while reading it. I don't care who may have been involved in the NWT. I just care that the translation is wrong. Steve |

1240 | WHO pays the wage? | 1 John 1:9 | srbaegon | 134405 | ||
Hello Angel, You didn't really answer the question, so one must assume you hold that 1) Christians no longer sin or 2) If a Christian sins, he is no longer a Christian. Do you hold to either of these? Steve |
