1422 | The Value of the Bible | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 217921 | ||
Hello Dcmartin, How about 2 Tim. 3:16-17 "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." (NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi Justme, From what I've read, it's more in line with the TNIV and will replace it when published. Here's a link: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/32644719/ns/us_news-faith Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1424 | the TNIV and the "new" NIV | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 230690 | ||
Hello justme, Interesting question you pose. As I've mentioned before, I have one of the few known copies of the TNIV:-) I bought it for reference several years back. It did not sell well, and, as you noted, was discontinued from being published. I was not a fan of it per se (nor the original NIV) as I prefer more literal translations. The biggest criticism (from scholars) of it was due to it's supposed intent on being "gender-neutral". Though the TNIV translation committee may have denied it, this attempt really came out of feminist ideology (IMO). I have not read the new NIV, though I have it on my Logos4 software. I still much prefer the NASB, the NKJV- and more recently the ESV. That being said, Dr. Dan Wallace of DTS, has given a surprisingly favorable review of the new NIV. He is Professor of NT Studies and a noted textual critic, so his comments are not without merit! It is a 4-part review and may be worth your reading. I found it both informative and quite interesting. You can read the review at this link: http://www.reclaimingthemind.org/blog/category/dan-wallace-contra-mundane/. I hope this is of some help, BradK |

1425 | Scriptures to witness to someone in jail | 2 Tim 4:2 | BradK | 181432 | ||
Hello strickmar, I believe 2 Tim. 4:2 would provide a basis for your question: "preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction." Additionally, we could follow the prescription laid out in Rom. 10:14: "How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?" I hope this helps, BradK |

1426 | 'Reinvented' Gospel | 2 Tim 4:3 | BradK | 110141 | ||
New Creature, I'm going to agree! I think we're seeing a rapid departure from the Gospel as MacArthur suggests. The truth of 2 Timothy 2:15 is on the verge of becoming a lost art. Consequently, Bible knowledge and study of the Word are seriously neglected and even ignored! We see this magnified immensly at an evermore increasing rate on the likes of TBN. I encourage people to watch, simply to see the abberant doctrines and end-runs around the Word of God. The majority of the "teaching" is nothing more than spiritual "junk-food". It may taste good and even fill you, but in the long run it's harmful. It is a sad, yet telling picture of our times. Yet, we're not ignorant of satan's devices. We need to proclaim the truth, relevance, and authority of God's Word more than ever. I often ponder the meaning of Phil.1:15-18 and wonder if we've not strayed! Certainly some of the growth of "Mega-Churches" and the like can be attributed to God's Spirit moving in peoples hearts. I don't want to discount or minimalize that. However, I do feel that much of this is because of the "watering down" of the Gospel message, etc. to make it more appealing and draw larger numbers. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1428 | Anyone have a word on Word Faith? | 2 Tim 4:4 | BradK | 164554 | ||
Hi John, Since you asked, I'll gladly tell you my thoughts. I hope this won't open up the proverbial "can of worms". You can also access the "Search" function on this site to view the multitude of discussions on the SBF. It is a heresy that I believe ignores the many attributes of God and relegates Him to that of a vending machine. God does not exist for the sole purpose of granting our wishes and making our lives healthy and wealthy! We might have those results but it is within God's perogative to allow- or not. My main concern with this type of theology- or lack thereof- is that it ignores seeking God for Who He IS rather than what He can do for me. Job. 1:9 is a great example: "Then Satan answered the LORD, "Does Job fear God for nothing?" Why shouldn't we be content with seeking God for Who He IS? Is not it Him alone that we should desire and be content with (Ps. 105:3-4)? WOF theology denies this and makes God subservient to our desires. I believe Jonathan Edwards said it very well when he stated "THE GOOD WHICH SHALL BE BROUGHT BY PRAYER: GOD HIMSELF. Scripture says, "They shall go to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of Hosts." The good that they seek for is "The Lord of Hosts," Himself. If "seeking God" means no more than seeking the favor or mercy of God then "praying before the Lord," and "seeking the Lord of Hosts" must be looked upon as synonymous. However, "seeking the Lord" is commonly used to mean something far more than seeking something from God. Surely it implies that God Himself is what is desired and sought after." I believe the answer has more to do with our economic success than it does the historical and Biblically Orthodox faith! The god of WOF is a man-made invention wrapped within 20th and 21st Century American prosperity! It is man seeking the god of convenience and comfort rather than the God of the Bible. I trust this will give you some perspective and food for thought on this rampantly growing and proliferating movement. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1431 | Salvation "vs" Baptism | Titus 3:5 | BradK | 177093 | ||
Hi Gunner, This is not an easy question to provide a brief answer for. Orthodoxy generally holds that salvation is by grace through faith alone (Eph. 2:8-9). The basis of the problem is noted in "Rediscovering Expository Preaching": 'The rapid deterioration of primitive Christianity has been well documented. A lack of expository preaching in the post-apostolic period is evidence of this, but it is not the only problem. The ordinance of believers’ baptism rapidly turned to the doctrine of baptismal regeneration. The Lord’s Supper shifted from being a memorial for believers to being viewed widely as a sacrament conveying saving grace.' [John MacArthur, Rediscovering Expository Preaching, 42] Scripture as a whole teaches and confirms that it is our faith that saves us (2 Tim. 1:9). Though there are a few verses such as Mark 16:16 (texual doubt), Acts 2:38, and 1 Pet. 3:21, that have proved problematic, the overwhelming weight is still on grace by faith! In Paul's summary of the Gospel in 1 Cor. 15:1-4 he is strangley silent on Baptism if it is indeed necessary for one's salvation! As an interpretive principle, we interpret the less clear by the more clear verses. Context also plays a significant role. Baptism is perfomed as an Ordinance to identify the new believer with Christ. It is merely an outward profession of an inward work done by God (1 Cor. 6:11, 12:13). You may also do a search using the "Search" function and type in "Baptismal Regeneration" to view the discussions on this topic on the SBF. They are numerous! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1435 | Sex before Marriage | Heb 1:1 | BradK | 162117 | ||
Hi kal, Strictly speaking, you and I can do whatever we want! However, if you're looking for the biblical mandate, believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are told in numerous places to abstain from premarital sex. 1 Cor. 6:9- "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals," Heb. 13:4- "Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge." Certainly one of the major reasons given is also found in 1 Cor. 6:19-20, "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body." I trust this will help answer your question. BradK |

1436 | When someone states that they are a prop | Heb 1:1 | BradK | 177978 | ||
Hello Hood Rat, The initial qualification is laid out quite explicitly in Deut. 18:20-22: "'But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.' "You may say in your heart, 'How will we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?' "When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him." For myself, and many others, this modern day "Prophet stuff" is simply presumption on God! I do not believe there are any true "prophets" today! Here's why: "God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world." [Heb. 1:1-2] God doesn't need prophets as He has left us with His Word! It is sufficient in and of Itself! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi mb5, In answer to your 2 questions: 1. Sir Robert Anderson wrote a book entitled, "The Silence of God" that deals fairly and insightfully with this question. It may be of some help; 2.While our sins are forgiven (Col. 2:13), the consequences-as detailed by David's case- are not. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1438 | where would i find the 3 omni's of god | Heb 1:3 | BradK | 181836 | ||
Dear trinity06, Here, I believe is what you seek: "Omnipotence: An attribute of God that describes His limitless power; it should be remembered that this is never to be viewed as putting Him in a place of contradiction, such as making something so large that He could not move it; Heb. 1:3; Eph. 1:19. Omnipresence: An attribute of God according to which He is viewed as present everywhere in His creation at the same time, yet without being part of it (S. Pantheism); perhaps most eloquently described in Ps. 139:7–10. Omniscience: An attribute of God according to which He is viewed as knowing all things, actual as well as possible; Ps. 139:1–6, 11–12."

1440 | What does "Edens Dawn Light Mean?" | Heb 2:9 | BradK | 200938 | ||
Hello Z..., I concur with brother Hank. The Message is not a translation, but rather a loose paraphrase. I rather see it as "muddling" God's Word rather than clarifying it:-( None of the respected translations come up - or conjure up - that phrase. The NASB reads: "But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone." You would have to ask Eugene Peterson, the author of The Message what he was thinking:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
