142 | A Thought-provoking question | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 164144 | ||
Hi taraleigh, Possibly you misspoke when you stated, "The only sin He ever committed was on the cross,?" Christ was clearly without sin as Heb. 4:15 tells us: "For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin." I realize that 2 Cor. 5:21 says that, "He Who knew no sin, became sin for us". However that does not mean nor imply He (Christ) sinned! Quite the contrary. As Marvin Vincent notes: "Made to be sin (Gr. hamartian epoiesen). Compare a curse, Gal. 3:13. Not a sin-offering, nor a sinner, but the representative of sin. On Him, representatively, fell the collective consequence of sin, in His enduring “the contradiction of sinners against Himself” (Heb. 12:3), in His agony in the garden, and in His death on the cross."

Hi taraleigh, Thanks for the reply! It is easy to misinterpret the English on 2 Cor. 5:21 because it doesn't bring to focus the actual language used- Greek. We have to be careful not to place on the Person of the Lord Jesus something that He could not in fact have done- namely sin! He could not be our Mediator had He sinned, nor could He have been God had He done so. So, somewhere in between, we have to reconcile the attributes of a Holy God with the nature of man that Christ became. Becoming sin and actually sinning are two entirely different things. The late A.T Robertson, a noted Greek scholar says this in regard to the passage: "Him who knew no sin [ton me gnonta hamartian]). Definite claim by Paul that Jesus did not commit sin, had no personal acquaintance with it. Jesus made this claim for himself (John 8:46). This statement occurs also in I Peter 2:22; Heb. 4:15; 7:26; I John 3:5. He made to be sin [hamartian epoiesen]). The words “to be” are not in the Greek. “Sin” here is the substantive, not the verb. God “treated as sin” the one “who knew no sin." Much more could be said, but I trust this will help to clarify your understanding. Let me know should you like to discuss further:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Dear dr... Glad to hear that! It sounds like you got a handle on it:-) Ditto for what Emmaus said. Just be very honest and blunt and let her know exactly where you're at. Tough love (no pun intended) is definitely called for in this situation. As the older and wiser you need to prayerfully set the clear boundaries for her in no uncertain terms. God Bless and I'll lift you up in prayer to the Lord. BradK |

146 | Does Satan Really Exist? | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 166189 | ||
Dear Dr????, My friend, I'm aware of higher criticism, but the burden of proof is entirely on you to prove your assertion! However, for the sake of brevity and edification, I would expect it to fall on mostly deaf ears:-) Might I ask what your purpose is in coming to this Forum, and have you aquainted yourself with it's guidleines? It appears to me you may be more seeking a platform for your views versus objectively seeking truth? I could be worng, but... Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

147 | Does Satan Really Exist? | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 166203 | ||
Dear Dr.B, Thank you for your reply. You are entirely welcome to post, though there are boundaries designated by Lockman. In challenging you, I'm trying to ascertain whether a new poster such as yourself has familiarized themselves with Forum guidelines. This just helps alleviate misunderstandings. Fair enough? With that said might I inquire a couple of things?: 1. What is your theological/church affiliation; 2. What exactly is it that many fail to understand about the Book of Revelation? How does this impact whether satan is real or not? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi Shythiyl, I'm not quite following your comments and how they relate to "Star Trek the Next Generation."

150 | can we get baptized twice | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 168663 | ||
Hi BobbyF, My challenge to you is twofold: 1. Why would one want to be baptized more than once? 2. How does 1 Cor. 12:13 enter into this? "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." I guess I'm missing the biblical link that shows my commitment to Him by being baptized again! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Dear Mark, First, I think it prudent to inform Forum users a bit about any ministry PRIOR to giving a carte blanc endorsement. Second, Brother Keith Moore is a WOF advocate in cahoots with Copeland, et al! I would not endorse him in any way, shape or form! Hardly worth the visit.

Hi Jeff, When you get to the site, click on the blue tab bar "Moore Life Ministries" or "Family Life Church". The 3 biggest things I noticed were: 1. Absolutely NO Doctrinal Statement to be found or linked at all!. How can one gauge the soundness of any ministry without this vital info? I don't know; 2. The most prominent info displayed was a advertisment for a job position as an Airplane Mechanic- and you could click on a tab for more details?!?! 3. There were SEVERAL links for donations to Keith Moore and Family Life Church. This site struck me as petty WOF nonsense and has nothing to do with sound Bible study or serious sermons! Just my two cents worth, but I was UNIMPRESSED! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

154 | Judas is called the son of perdition | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 170322 | ||
Hi kalos, Interestingly, I am currently doing a bit of reading and study on A.W. Pink's, The Antichrist. All the more interesting given the most recent news about the surfacing of the "Gospel of Judas" is the comment offered by Pink about Judas in the chapter titled" The Person of the Antichrist": " In John 17:12 we have a word which, more plainly still, shows that the Antichrist will be Judas reincarnated, for here he is termed by Christ "The Son of Perdition." But first, let us consider the teaching of Scripture concerning Judas Iscariot. Who was he? He was a "man" (Matthew 26:24). But was he more than a man? Let Scripture make answer. In John 6:70 we read, "Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a Devil?" It is hardly necessary to say that in the Greek there are two different words for "Devil" and "demon." There are many demons, but only one Devil. Further, in no other passage is the word "devil" applied to any one but to Satan himself. Judas then was the Devil incarnate, just as the Lord Jesus was God incarnate. Christ Himself said so, and we dare not doubt His word. As we have seen, in John 17:12 Christ termed Judas "the Son of Perdition," and 2 Thessalonians 2:3 we find that the Antichrist is similarly designated—"That Man of Sin be revealed, the Son of Perdition." These are the only two places in all the Bible where his name occurs, and the fact that Judas was termed by Christ not a "son of perdition," but "the Son of Perdition," and the fact that the Man of Sin is so named prove that they are one and the same person. What other conclusion can a simple and unprejudiced reader of the Bible come to?" All may not agree however, we can agree that Satan is indeed a liar and such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ (2 Cor. 11:13). Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi Tim, Your insight, as always, is appreciated. I'm not necessarily in complete agreement with Pink on this point. However, it is an interesting observation if nothing else. Possibly Judas could be the Devil incarnate- as the son of satan- in (counterfeit) opposition to Jesus as the Son of God? At any rate, the Gospel of Judas is, in my estimation, a satanic ploy to take the focus off the True God, Jesus Christ and His Person. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

157 | god shouldn't send people to hell. | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 171898 | ||
I like what A.W. Pink said about this in regard to the attribute of God's wrath: "Yes, many there are who turn away from a vision of God’s wrath as though they were called to look upon some blotch in the Divine character, or some blot upon the Divine government. But what saith the Scriptures? As we turn to them we find that God has made no attempt to conceal the fact of His wrath. He is not ashamed to make it known that vengeance and fury belong unto Him. His own challenge is, "See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no god with Me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; neither is there any that can deliver out of My hand. For I lift up My hand to heaven, and say, I live forever, If I whet My glittering sword, and Mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to Mine enemies, and will reward them that hate Me" (Deut. 32:39-41). A study of the concordance will show that there are more references in Scripture to the anger, fury, and wrath of God, than there are to His love and tenderness. Because God is holy, He hates all sin; And because He hates all sin, His anger burns against the sinner: Psalm 7:11. Now the wrath of God is as much a Divine perfection as is His faithfulness, power, or mercy. It must be so, for there is no blemish whatever, not the slightest defect in the character of God; yet there would be if "wrath" were absent from Him! Indifference to sin is a moral blemish, and he who hates it not is a moral leper. How could He who is the Sum of all excellency look with equal satisfaction upon virtue and vice, wisdom and folly? How could He who is infinitely holy disregard sin and refuse to manifest His "severity" (Rom. 9:12) toward it? How could He who delights only in that which is pure and lovely, loathe and hate not that which is impure and vile? The very nature of God makes Hell as real a necessity, as imperatively and eternally requisite as Heaven is. Not only is there no imperfection in God, but there is no perfection in Him that is less perfect than another." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Ocelot, I think Muzka would be much better served by reading Jonathan Edwards, "The Justice of God in the Damnation of Sinners" and/or George Whitefield's "The Eternity of Hell-Torments". They both shed sound, time-tested exposition of this topic. I'd also encourage yu to read them as well, if you haven't. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi Bliss, I'm in general agreement with your statement:-) Psalm 51:5 tells us, "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me." Spurgeons' Puritan Catechism in questions, 15, 16 and 17 say this: 15. Q. Did all mankind fall in Adam’s first transgression? A. The covenant being made with Adam, not only for himself but for his posterity, all mankind descending from him by ordinary generation, sinned in him, and fell with him in his first transgression. (1 Corinthians 15:22; Romans 5:12) 16. Q. Into what estate did the fall bring mankind? A. The fall brought mankind into a state of sin and misery. (Romans 5:18) 17. Q. Wherein consists the sinfulness of that state whereunto man fell? A. The sinfulness of that state whereunto man fell, consists in the guilt of Adam’s first sin, (Romans 5:19) the want of original righteousness, (Romans 3:10) and the corruption of his whole nature, which is commonly called original sin, (Ephesians 2:1; Psalm 51:5) together with all actual transgressions which proceed from it. (Matthew 15:19) Obviously, much more could be added:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
