161 | Gender?? | Deut 6:4 | Radioman2 | 86756 | ||
"The description of God as 'father' is under attack today in certain circles. It is charged by some that this leads to a false view that God is a male. This criticism should be taken seriously in that God is not a 'man' (Num. 23:19). He is a Spirit (John 4:24) without sexual parts. "When God is referred [to] as a father, this is simply the use of a metaphor in which he is likened to a kind and loving father. Elsewhere God's love and care can be compared to that of a concerned and caring mother (Isa. 49:14-16; Luke 13:34)" (Baker Theological Dictionary of the Bible, page 247). |

162 | Can one accept Christ but not the Bible? | Luke 24:27 | Radioman2 | 86754 | ||
Repost by mommapbs: In the beginning was the Word [Mommapbs: I have taken the liberty of reposting your note in order to keep all the replies to the question under one thread. Hope you don't mind. I made a mistake when I created two threads. Sorry. :-( --Radioman2] Note: John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. It is MY opinion that one who rejects the Word rejects God. "but just as it is WRITTEN,(emphasis on "written" - mommpbs)"THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM." For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.For who among men knows the toughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no oneFor WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ." 1 Cor 2:9-16 Radioman, I don't know why this has been restricted because I believe that you have asked some important questions. This issue is heavy on my heart right now as I am concerned with a reply I recieved recently . . . it is MY opinion, that the Holy Spirit not only assures us of our salvation, but assures us of the TRUTH of God's Word. One who rejects God's Word as the absolute authority either does not have the Spirit or has quenched the Spirit by their rebellion. It is the Spirit who convicts and convinces! (John 16:8) I have replied to this in order to leave your question up for others! Comments? God Bless you - stand firm on the promises! (God's Word will not return to Him without accomplishing His purpose - Jesus did just that did He not?!!) mommapbs |

163 | How do you find the Lord?? | 1 John 4:7 | Radioman2 | 86596 | ||
Redbone: 'God’s simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus Who died in your place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith.' (www.godssimpleplan.org/gsps-english.html) AMPLIFIED John 3:16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in *(trusts in, clings to, relies on)* Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. (Emphasis added.) 'Belief in the N.T. denotes more than intellectual assent to a fact. The word (Gk. pistis, noun; pisteuo, verb) means *adherence to, committal to, faith in, reliance upon, trust in* a person or an object, and this involves not only the consent of the mind, but an act of the heart and will of the subject. "Whosoever believeth in him" is equivalent to "whosoever trusts in or commits himself to him [Christ]." Belief, then is synonymous with faith, which in the N.T. consists of believing and receiving what God has revealed' (New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967. Emphasis added).

164 | Preaching from envy and strife? | Phil 1:15 | Radioman2 | 86589 | ||
Jman: The Message Philippians 1:15-17 15 It's true that some here preach Christ because with me out of the way, they think they'll step right into the spotlight. But the others do it with the best heart in the world. 16 One group is motivated by pure love, knowing that I am here defending the Message, wanting to help. 17 The others, now that I'm out of the picture, are merely greedy, hoping to get something out of it for themselves. Their motives are bad. They see me as their competition, and so the worse it goes for me, the better--they think--for them. R-man2 |

167 | WILL WE HAVE FULL MEMORY OF THE PAST IN | Gen 25:8 | Radioman2 | 86497 | ||
The Bible does not say that our memories will be erased in heaven. The following, while not directly addressing your question, is, nevertheless, related to it. ____________________ 'Will we recognize and be reunited with our loved ones in heaven? 'Yes! In the Old Testament, when a person died, the biblical writers said he was "gathered to his people" (cf. Gen. 25:8; 35:29; 49:29; Num. 20:24; Judg. 2:10). In 2 Samuel 12, when David's infant child died, David confidently said, "I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me" (v. 23). David evidently expected to see the child again-not just a nameless, faceless soul without an identity, but that very child. 'The New Testament indicates even more clearly that our identities will remain unchanged. While sharing the Passover meal with His disciples, Christ said, "Take this [cup] and divide it among yourselves; for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes" (Luke 22:17-18). Christ was promising that He and His disciples would drink the fruit of the vine together again-in heaven. Elsewhere Jesus makes a similar, but even more definite, promise: "Many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 8:11). 'Furthermore, Moses and Elijah appeared with Christ on the Mount of Transfiguration. Even though they died centuries before, they still maintained a clear identity (Matt. 17:3) -- Peter, James, and John evidently recognized them (v. 4), which implies that we will somehow be able to recognize people we've never even seen before. All the redeemed will maintain their identity forever, but in a perfected form.' To read the rest of this article, go to: (http://www.gty.org/IssuesandAnswers/archive/heaven8.htm) |

168 | Summary of letters to the seven churches | Rev 1:11 | Radioman2 | 86397 | ||
'With the conclusion of the introductory matters of chapter one, John begins his presentation. The seven churches identified in Revelation 1:11 are specifically addressed. Each receives a description of its present condition with a necessary warning and a call to the overcomers to persevere. Of the seven churches, four demonstrate a spirit of compromise—Ephesus, Pergamum, Thyatira, and Laodicea. The church at Sardis is dead and the churches at Smyrna and Philadelphia are presented as the faithful churches. Smyrna is the physically persecuted church and Philadelphia is the physically protected church.' To read more go to: (http://www.revelationcommentary.org/02_chapter.html) |

170 | Where did the skins come from? | Gen 3:21 | Radioman2 | 86392 | ||
The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them. Genesis 3:21 NASB The garments came from God, who made them. The skins were animal skins. 'The garments of skin were God's provision for restoring Adam's and Eve's fellowship with Himself and imply slaying of an animal in order to provide them' (Ryrie Study Bible, Charles Caldwell Ryrie, Moody Press, 1976, 1978). |

Daniel chapter 10 is the record of 'Daniel's final vision (536 B.C.). In it, he was given further insight into the great spiritual battle between God's people and those who want to destroy them.

177 | is matted hair inappropriate for woman | 1 Tim 2:9 | Radioman2 | 86293 | ||
Your adornment must not be merely external--braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; 1 Pet 3:3 (NASB) AMPLIFIED 1 Peter 3:3 Let not yours be the [merely] external adorning with [elaborate] interweaving and knotting of the hair, the wearing of jewelry, or changes of clothes; If this verse prohibited women from braiding the hair and wearing gold jewelry, then it would also prohibit them from putting on dresses. In 1 Peter 3:3 notice the use of the word "merely". |

178 | What is your reason for quoting dsch... | 2 Pet 3:16 | Radioman2 | 86241 | ||
Hi, Prazn! No, my purpose is not to cast doubt on the inerrancy of the Bible. I don't doubt its inerrancy. In all my 946 postings, I've never written a single word with the intention of casting doubt on the inerrancy of the Bible. Could it be the intent of the AUTHOR of the quotations to cast doubt upon: the inerrancy of the Bible, or the sufficiency of the Bible, or the canon (an authoritative list of books accepted as Holy Scripture) of the Bible? Grace and peace, Radioman2 |

179 | What is truth? | Bible general Archive 1 | Radioman2 | 86197 | ||
I. Is the Jehovah's Witness religion Christian? 'The answer to the question is, "No. It is not Christian." Like all non-Christian cults, the Jehovah's Witness organization distorts the essential doctrines of Christianity. It denies the deity of Christ, His physical resurrection, and salvation by grace. This alone makes it non-Christian. To support its erring doctrines, the Watchtower organization (which is the author and teacher of all official Jehovah's Witness theology), has even altered the Bible to make it agree with its changing and non-Christian teachings. 'Typical with cults that use the Bible to support its position is a host of interpretive errors: 'Taking verses out of their immediate context. 'Refusing to read verses in the entire biblical context. 'Inserting their theological presuppositions into the text. 'Altering the Biblical text to suit their needs. 'Latching onto one verse to interpret a host of others. 'Changing the meanings of words. 'Proclaiming some passages to be figurative when they contradict their doctrines. 'Adding to the Word of God. 'Additionally, the Jehovah's Witness organization requires of its members regular weekly attendance at their "Bible Study" meetings where they are repeatedly indoctrinated with anti-Christian teachings. This is done by reading the Watchtower magazine, following along with what it says, reading the questions it asks, and reciting the answers it gives. In other words, the Watchtower Organization carefully trains its members to let the Organization do their thinking for them. For confirmation of this, please read Does the Watchtower organization control the JW's thinking? (...) 'Primarily, the Jehovah's Witness organization is a mind control organization that uses its people to pass out literature and send in "donations" to the headquarters in Brooklyn, New York. '"Thus the Bible is an organizational book and belongs to the Christian congregation as an organization, not to individuals, regardless of how sincerely they may believe that they can interpret the Bible." The Watchtower, Oct. 1, 1967. p. 587. 'The Watchtower organization of the Jehovah's Witnesses is a non-Christian organization that uses its people to promulgate false doctrines, sell a multitudinous amount of literature, and expand its grip into the lives of its members and their families. 'It is a non-Christian cult.' To read more go to: (www.carm.org/jw/cult.htm) |

'Let's take a look at one quote from the Watchtower. '"From time to time, there have arisen from among the ranks of Jehovah's people those, who, like the original Satan, have adopted an independent, faultfinding attitude...They say that it is sufficient to read the Bible exclusively, either alone or in small groups at home. But, strangely, through such ‘Bible reading,' they have reverted right back to the apostate doctrines that commentaries by Christendom's clergy were teaching 100 years ago..." (The Watchtower, August 15, 1981, p. 29). 'The Watchtower says that the Trinity, the deity of Christ, and the physical resurrection of Christ are all false doctrines. Yet, the Watchtower says that if you read the Bible by itself you will end up believing these doctrines. In other words, if you read the Bible by itself, then you will become a Trinitarian, believe that Jesus is God, and believe that Jesus rose from the dead physically. Why is that? Could it be because the Bible teaches these things? So I ask the Jehovah's Witnesses, what is it in the Bible that would lead someone to this conclusion? Again, what is in the Bible that reading it by itself would lead you to believe in the Trinity, the deity of Christ, and His physical resurrection? 'This quote from the Watchtower is proof that it is teaching contrary to the natural reading of the Bible and that it is controlling the beliefs of those who follow it.'
