141 | Bereans corrected the Apostle of Christ? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 7920 | ||
Steve, from what version of Acts 17:11 were you able to infer that "the Bereans did it to Paul and he accepted it, "it" being "correction" as indicated by your phrase "who refuse correction"? Doesn't such an inference as this lead us to think that Paul's teaching, under inspiration of the Holy Spirit, was in error and the Bereans corrected this error? What are you saying and what do you mean to say? --Hank | ||||||
142 | What is the Word-Faith movement? | John 10:27 | Hank | 7842 | ||
My knowledge of the Word-Faith movement is woefully lacking. Will someone who is well-versed in this matter define what it is, how it began, who and how many subscribe to it? --Hank | ||||||
143 | Dietary value of dietary laws? | Leviticus | Hank | 7854 | ||
The question is NOT to argue any theological aspects of the Old Testament dietary laws. Theology aside, were there any strictly dietary, nutritionally-based reasons for them? Do these dietary laws have any nutritionally-based value today in light of what we supposedly know about what foods are good and what foods are bad for us? --Hank | ||||||
144 | Gnosticism still alive? | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 7840 | ||
Are there perhaps shades, variations, or traces of ancient Gnosticism alive today, masked by other names? --Hank | ||||||
145 | Is This Supposed To Be an Answer? | Acts 5:34 | Hank | 7720 | ||
Steve, you say, "I'll start (another) new thread on worship." Is this supposed to be an answer to the questions I put to you? --Hank | ||||||
146 | Worship service or performance? | John 4:24 | Hank | 7490 | ||
Dear Saints, I wonder....In many churches in our land, it has become common practice to applaud. Applaud the choir. Applaud a soloist. Applaud the preacher when he makes a good point. Applaud just about everything but the collection plate :-).....What are your thoughts about this practice? Does it enhance the worship of God or detract from it? Is the worship service being turned into a performance? Is there any Scripture that might be applied to support or refute the practice? --Hank | ||||||
147 | Performance or Preaching? | Acts 5:34 | Hank | 7466 | ||
EdB, to extend your good remarks a step farther, can it be that "entertainment" by a colorful evangelist (with or without sound teaching) may play a role in who flocks to his sheep-fold? --Hank | ||||||
148 | More on 1 Tim. 3:2 | 1 Tim 3:2 | Hank | 6920 | ||
Steve, I'm having trouble with a part of your answer to PSP's question, "What does 1 Tim. 3:2 mean?" In the final paragraph of your answer you say, "I believe the pastor or deacon should be married. So if he is single, widowed, or divorced, he is disqualified." In the first place, if you are referring to the passage in the question, i.e., 1 Tim. 3:2, the qualifications of a bishop (or elder) are under consideration, not pastors or deacons. And for the bishop, the qualification is that he be monogamous -- a one-woman man. The passage is assuming rather than stipulating that the bishop would be a married man. Do you have any corroborating Scripture to support your statement that a pastor or a deacon is disqualifed solely on grounds that he happens to be single, widowed, or divorced? What about the writer of this letter, Paul? He certainly was a church leader par excellence. Was he married? When the wife of a pastor of a church dies leaving him a widower, is he then disqualified to serve the church as pastor? If an elder's wife runs away with the postman and a divorce results, does the elder for this reason become disqualifed to serve? Steve, I sincerely feel that your answer needs more authority than what it gets from the assertion "I believe...." -- Hank | ||||||
149 | Scripture is clear, right? | Acts 11:1 | Hank | 6912 | ||
Dear Hiram Abiff, your name sounds as though you are from the East, or have been to the East! Your post is as a note, but it contains a question, to wit: "The Scripure is clear if we are open, right." Well, there are parts of Scripture that are indeed clear, even to a simple person like me. And there are other parts of Scripture that are not clear, not to anyone this side of heaven. But the Scripture is crystal clear on who Christ is and what one must do to be saved......I'm quite unacquainted with the beliefs and practices of certain faiths, including the procedure you outline in your note of being "pulled on, rocked, and yelled at" in order to bring someone to Christ. I have never read any Scripture that would even remotely appear to support such a practice as you describe. Do you happen to know how these people justify their ritual, or whatever it is? By the way, Hiram, welcome to the Study Bible Forum. --Hank | ||||||

156 | Study Bible Forum -- or Circus? | Gen 1:17 | Hank | 6718 | ||
Now we have God creating the sun, moon, and stars in his workshop -- a cut and paste operation of sorts -- and putting them wherever He saw an empty space that needed something in it -- like decorating a Christmas tree. Wonder if He had elves in His workshop to help Him build stars? Folks, I'm not trying to be cute and most assuredly not to be sacreligious. I'm merely attempting to illustrate how far off base this forum has wandered and how dangerously close we are to becoming a world wide joke, a Biblical circus of the Internet. Lionstrong posed the question of whether we were at liberty to ask any question or post any note. The sure answer is emphatically not! I am not at liberty to ask anyone on this forum for a recipe for fudge brownies and you are not at liberty to give me an answer. Have you, Lionstrong, and have you and I, the other users, forgotten what this forum is all about? In the last several weeks this forum has been bogged down by endless debates over emotionally-charged denominationally-biased issues, such as the Arminianism verse Calvinism debacle and before that the Oneness fiasco. Read the purposes and aims of this forum set out by the Lockman Foundation. Read their criteria for what constitutes a good posting as listed on the voting bars. Questions should be Biblically oriented and answers Biblically supported. Lockman has given us ample freedom within clearly-defined guidelines. But with freedom come our own personal responsibilties. Folks, I know that many of you, like I, love the idea of having a study Bible forum and see in it a real potential to honor God and His word. And I know that many of you, like I, are displeased and even disgusted with some of the postings that have been made and continue to be made that bring only discord and benefit nothing except perhaps the foolish vanity of the authors of this kind of trash. The forum is in trouble, of that I have no doubt. Unless we mend our ways and get back to the fundamentals of what this forum is all about, I would not be at all surprised that eventually it will cease to be. I've said my say. It's up to you. If you have anything positive to add or suggest that will help this forum, please come forward and make yourselves heard. If you are unwilling to submit to Lockman's guidelines and come only to disrupt, do the rest of us a favor and log out. --Hank | ||||||
