142 | Differing views to questions ? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 194852 | ||
Hi, Jashar... I posted a series a while back on sound exegesis of Scripture (see thread #156916). I asked this same sort of question. Why is proper interpretation not simple? I posited the following reasons: 1. Literary Limitations: Absolute precision is impossible due to the fact that there are gaps between the writer and the reader 2. Spiritual Perceptibility: Sometimes interpretation is an intellectual matter, but it is often a matter of spiritual maturity 3. Profundity of Truth: Truth is not simple, shallow, or trite; it is deep and rich 4. Natural Resistance: Men are not born desiring truth; the flesh resists the truth 5. Problem of Pop Culture: The world tries to make the Bible more palatable So to answer your question in a nutshell: diligent study, prayer, application, and discussion. In Him, Doc |

Dear I M Searching, Welcome to the forum! I posted a couple of short articles written by the Puritan Wilhelmus a Brakel (1635-1711). The first is "The Virtues to Which Superiors Are Enjoined" (post #152921). The second is "The Virtues Enjoined of Subordinates" (post #152922). If you enter those numbers in the Search box to the right of your screen, you can read them. I believe they might be helpful to you. In Him, Doc |

Typically on October 31st I just go around wishing everyone a happy Reformation Day! :-) http://www.sundayschoollessons.com/refday.htm For Reformation in general see post #153450. "God has not deserted his Church; He has brought her through even darker hours than those which try our courage now, yet the darkest hour has always come before the dawn. We have today the entrance of paganism into the Church in the name of Christianity. But in the second century a similar battle was fought and won. And another Reformation in God's good time will come." --J. Gresham Machen |

148 | creativity, edu n democracy for Jesus? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 195482 | ||
Dear yonder... etc... The Scriptures do not speak of democracy per se, liberal or otherwise. Nor does the Bible explicitly address education systems outside of the family and the church. Furthermore, no philosophy, mechanism, or indicative is commended regarding "demonic interference in public discourse" (whatever that might be). Christianity is not a social, political, or philosophical means for correcting the world's problems. In Him, Doc |

151 | Where is the Land of Nod located? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 195499 | ||
Hi, Suzi... I guess I should have showed you how to use the search option. It is on the right side of your screen. :-) Here is what Makarios (Nolan) wrote: I would agree with the assumption that the "land of Nod" may be in modern-day southern Iran or at the very farthest in the extreme portion of Iraq, just east of the Tigris River. I realize that that is quite a lot of ground, but we simply do not have enough clues to make a more accurate placement for the "land of Nod." Here is the entry for "Nod" from the Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible.. "According to Genesis 4:16, the country in which Cain the fratricide took up his abode after his sentence of banishment. The place is unknown. It is probably connected in some way etymologically with the epithet 'nod' of v.14 (RV 'wanderer'). The addition 'eastward of Eden' is of little help for its location." Matthew Henry's commentary says something interesting about the land of Nod.. "...The land Cain dwelt in was called the land of Nod, which means, 'shaking,' or 'trembling,' and so shows the restlessness and uneasiness of his own spirit, or 'the land of a vagabond:' they that depart from God cannot find rest any where else. Those on earth who looked for the heavenly city, chose to dwell in tabernacles or tents; but Cain, as not minding that city, built one on earth. Thus all who are cursed of God seek their settlement and satisfaction here below." And we know a little of the agricultural qualities of this land, according to Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, "land of Nod--of flight or exile--thought by many to have been Arabia-Petræa--which was cursed to sterility on his account." John Gill's Expository Notes states, "on the east of Eden; further east from the place where his father Adam and his other children dwelt; not being allowed to continue any longer with them, or converse with them, after he had been guilty of so horrid a crime." The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia concludes.. "Nod.- nod (nodh): The land of Eden, to which Cain migrated after the murder of his brother and his banishment by Yahweh (Gen_4:16). Conjecture is useless as to the region intended. The ideas of China, India, etc., which some have entertained, are groundless. The territory was evidently at some distance, but where is now undiscoverable." |

156 | three truths about judging | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 195959 | ||
Hi, toccoa... Hey, I'm game! :-) I assume we are talking about human judgment. "Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment." (John 7:24 ESV) "But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged." (1 Corinthians 11:31 ESV) "For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil." (Hebrews 5:12-14 ESV) In Him, Doc |

157 | many are called but only few are chosen | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 196094 | ||
Dear st8982, Welcome to the forum! Your confusion arises out of a proper understanding of the Gospel call and election. The Gospel call is extended to all men freely. However, it is in the nature of fallen men that they hate God (Luke 16:13), refuse to obey Him (Romans 8:28), and only pursue their own course (Isaiah 53:6). This they do perfectly exercising their freedom to choose. Without God's intervention, absolutely no one would choose to obey the Gospel. Nevertheless, He chose some men to be saved (Ephesians 1:4). It is a matter of grace (2 Timothy 1:9; Romans 11:6), not a matter of foreknowledge, works, or any merit at all. When the Holy Spirit performs His work upon the soul of a believer at regeneration, the heart is changed, they respond to Christ, for they belong to Him (John 10:26-27). This they do perfectly exercising their freedom to choose. In Him, Doc |

160 | how are we saved | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 196148 | ||
"To the question, 'What must I do to be saved?' the old gospel replies: believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. To the further question, 'What does it mean to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ?' its reply is: it means knowing oneself to be a sinner, and Christ to have died for sinners; abandoning all self-righteousness and self-confidence, and casting oneself wholly upon Him for pardon and peace; and exchanging one's natural enmity and rebellion against God for a spirit of grateful submission to the will of Christ through the renewing of one's heart by the Holy Ghost. And to the further question still, 'How am I to go about believing on Christ and repenting, if I have no natural ability to do these things? it answers: look to Christ, speak to Christ, cry to Christ, just as you are; confess your sin, your impenitence, your unbelief, and cast yourself on His mercy; ask Him to give you a new heart, working in you true repentance and firm faith; ask Him to take away your evil heart of unbelief and to write His law within you, that you may never henceforth stray from Him." --J. I. Packer | ||||||
