Joe: Good points, well stated. You're so right -- anyone can make an assertion, but asserting something doesn't make it so. And I don't know about you, but whenever I wish to learn something about the gospel of Jesus Christ, I always check sci-fi magazines, movies, comic books, cartoon shows on TV, interviews with Carl Sagan, etc. All of these are gold mines of Biblical truth. Yeah, right! --Radioman2 |

The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. If it isn't free, it's not a gift. For example, wages are not a gift. Wages are earned. So is it a gift or is it wages? Nowhere do the apostles or prophets teach that salvation is earned or merited. We are saved by Grace (God's UNMERITED favor).

Dachande: I'll give you an even simpler answer. Because that's how many God wanted. That's how many gospels God (the sovereign Author of the Bible) chose, according to the good pleasure of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself. --Radioman2 |

149 | Does TNIV eliminate gender distinctions? | Bible general Archive 2 | Radioman2 | 98172 | ||
'Is The TNIV Faithful in Its Treatment of Gender? Yes 'The TNIV does not eliminate gender distinctions but rather clarifies them. 'By Mark Strauss : posted 09/27/2002 'Much of the negative press concerning Today's New International Version comes from a misunderstanding of Bible translation and a misrepresentation of the TNIV. Here are seven facts you should know. '1. The goal of the TNIV is the same as that of the NIV (and other versions): to render the meaning of the original text accurately into contemporary English.'

"Chronos-time is no longer in the days whenever the 7th Trumpet is about to sound (Rev.10:6,7)"? The King James Version says: "that there should be time no longer:" Re 10:6 (KJV) And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: The NASB says: "that there will be DELAY no longer, " NASB Revelation 10:6 and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, WHO CREATED HEAVEN AND THE THINGS IN IT, AND THE EARTH AND THE THINGS IN IT, AND THE SEA AND THE THINGS IN IT, that there will be delay no longer, The Amplified Bible says: "that NO MORE TIME SHOULD INTERVENE and there should be NO MORE WAITING OR DELAY." AMPLIFIED Revelation 10:6 And swore in the name of (by) Him Who lives forever and ever, Who created the heavens (sky) and all they contain, and the earth and all that it contains, and the sea and all that it contains. [He swore] that no more time should intervene and there should be no more waiting or delay, "Time" no longer? NASB Revelation 22:2 in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

151 | How are we to view "The Message"? | Acts 17:11 | Radioman2 | 97860 | ||
MEASURING "THE MESSAGE" (Eugene Peterson's The Message (NavPress)) ____________________ '...while the phrase "the Message" is Eugene Peterson's translation of "the Gospel," not everything in The Message should be treated as gospel.' ____________________ 'So how are we to view The Message? It is an expansive paraphrase that is not so labeled, as is The Living Bible. Beset with inconsistencies, its idiom is not always "street language"; its terminology is often idiosyncratic to its author. Compared by noted literary figures to the groundbreaking translation of J. B. Phillips, I believe The Message often lacks Phillips's creativity and conciseness. 'In the introduction, Eugene Peterson compares his pastoral ministry to his work as a translator: "I stood at the border between two languages, biblical Greek and everyday English, acting as a translator, providing the right phrases, getting the right words so that the men and women to whom I was pastor could find their way around and get along in this world" (p. 7). Much of The Message reads like a sermon: text plus interpretation and application. Unlike a sermon, however, the reader does not know where the text ends and the sermon begins. 'Because of its interpretive and idiosyncratic nature, The Message should not be used for study. If read for enlightenment or entertainment, the reader should follow the advice of Saint Augustine, as quoted in the original preface to the KJV, "Variety of translations is profitable for finding out the sense of the Scriptures." Acts 17:11 commends the Bereans for evaluating Paul's teaching with the Old Testament Scriptures. In the same spirit, The Message needs to be evaluated against more consistent and traditional translations, especially when its renderings evoke a response such as, "I didn't know the Bible said that!" or, "Now I understand what it means."

152 | What family planning method is good? | Ps 127:3 | Radioman2 | 97859 | ||
Repost of ID# 1047 by charis 'I don't think that the Bible expressly prohibits the use of contraceptives, BUT, it is the attitude of the user that is in question. If used for the purpose of 'safe sex' because you are not sure of your partner, God cannot be pleased with the attitude. This includes promiscuous sex, adultery, harlotry, homosexuality, pre-marital (trial) sex, etc. Another abuse would be selfish, such as, "kids would detract from my plans, my career, or even my ministry." The key word is 'MY.' 'If, however, you have a normal, healthy, natural Christian life, and decide that your family is complete, and that (to a certain degree, and led by the Holy Spirit) age, finances, marital unity, logic, etc. lead you to want to stop proliferation, I cannot see God saying either, "Take a chance on another child," or "Stop having sex with your mate." 'Another factor,of course,is your gender. A man seems to be able to be more legalistic about this than a woman. He doesn't have to bear the child, nor does he have (usually) as much responsibility in rearing them. The only 'pro-choice' (in this matter) that is Biblical is that a woman should have a say in how many. I belong to the former gender, but can see the latter's point of view. 'Finally the method of contraception is also important. Abortion is absolutely out! Some drugs are potentially dangerous, and operations are permanent. Great caution is necessary, as well as spiritual and medical counsel. 'As to Biblical support for my thinking, I don't think that it was an issue, as there were not many forms available. As abortion and some very dangerous concoctions were the only real options, it is no wonder that God did not speak in favor of these methods. 'I would be interested to hear, in the light of these comments, views from the 'other side.' I am sure there are some who would say the Bible forbids contraception, but I suspect that the view is a bit legalistic or assumptive. I pray that this portrays, if nothing else, a good argument based on my understanding of the intent of God toward us. 'Blessings in Jesus' name.' ____________________ Repost of ID# 1047 originally submitted by charis Reposted by Radioman2 |

154 | Eastern Orthodoxy Interest | 1 Thess 1:1 | Radioman2 | 97850 | ||
Eastern Orthodoxy Summary 'Recent years have witnessed a surge of Western Christians joining the Orthodox Church. With its emphasis on mystical union with God, its rich history, and its beautiful icons (sacred images) and liturgies, Orthodoxy appeals to those who long for a deeper sense of wonder in their worship and faith. Yet behind the appeal lie some hard realities. The Orthodox world is not monolithic, and one cannot become Orthodox in general. The Orthodox tradition is not entirely apostolic, and consequently the claim to represent the true church of Christ is triumphalistic. Orthodoxy follows a different theological paradigm; for example, within Orthodoxy the doctrine of salvation has a different meaning than within Catholicism or Protestantism. Protestant evangelicals who have joined the Orthodox church often display an inadequate understanding of the faith they have embraced. (...) 'The Orthodox view that Adam was a child and that his sin is to be understood merely as missing the road diminishes the gravity of sin and its consequences. Accordingly, Adam’s descendants inherited corruption and mortality, but not guilt. Each child remains innocent until he or she personally sins. According to Orthodox belief, baptism imparts new and immortal life, and since Orthodoxy practices infant baptism it follows that repentance and faith are not essential. Salvation understood mystically as deification and not as forensic justification by faith obscures the biblical records about Christ’s vicarious death. 'Although it is clear from Peter Gillquist’s writings that he and his colleagues do not have a clear understanding of the Orthodox faith in its complexity, their claims to have discovered the true apostolic faith can mislead others, whose search for religious experience is influenced by limited knowledge and the current American hunger for mystical realities. A close look at Orthodoxy can help both the sincere searchers and the Orthodox churches themselves to avoid adding members to a romanticized, idealized church of the Western imagination rather than the real Orthodox churches.' ____________________ To read more go to: (www.equip.org/free/DE177.htm) STATEMENT DE177 SEARCHING FOR THE TRUE APOSTOLIC CHURCH: What Evangelicals Should Know about Eastern Orthodoxy by Paul Negrut --Radioman2 |

155 | Christ comes in kingdom power at the End | Mark 9:1 | Radioman2 | 97822 | ||
To God a day is *AS* a thousand years; but a day *IS* evening and morning -- 24 hours. A day is the time of light between one night and the next; the period of rotation of a planet (as earth) or a moon on its axis; the mean solar day of 24 hours beginning at mean midnight. 2 Peter 3:8 (ESV) But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Psalm 90:4 (ESV) For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night. Genesis 1:5 (ESV) God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. The concept of one day as a thousand years has been misused to justify all kinds of questionable teaching regarding creation, prophecy, and other subjects in which time is a factor. --Radioman2 |

158 | Is the UPC a Christian Church? | Matt 24:11 | Radioman2 | 97552 | ||
The word used in the quote was not Catholic (capital C); it was catholic (lower case c). Used in the quote it does NOT mean the Roman Catholic Church. It merely carries the original meaning of the word catholic. In the quote 'catholic' means 'universal.' As I said earlier, as long as you are defining the key words, it is impossible for you to be wrong or mistaken. |

159 | Is the UPC a Christian Church? | Matt 24:11 | Radioman2 | 97511 | ||
The "full gospel" does not include the false, heretical, unscriptural notion that Jesus is the Father or the Holy Spirit. It does not include the notion that there is one God in one Person. I never said that there were no on-fire Christians who loved the Lord in the UPC. If people will not read or make an effort to understand what is posted, then they need not embarrass themselves by attempting to reply to it. |
