161 | believing and being born again? | John 3:16 | BradK | 227926 | ||
Hello soconfusedinthis world, So, what constitutes saving faith? Eph. 2:8-9 says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast."(NASB) Paul states the gospel clearly in 1 Cor. 15:1-4: 1 Cor 15:1 Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, 1 Cor 15:2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. 1 Cor 15:3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 1 Cor 15:4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, We need to be certain of our terms and definitions. Sometimes we confuse what's required for salvation, with what God seeks for our sanctification. Is there some question here to the validity of John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."? Is more than belief required for one to be saved? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

163 | Is the judgment day truly 21/05/2011??? | Joel 2:30 | BradK | 227804 | ||
Heelo Prince natty, This is the false prophecy of Harold Camping and his Family Radio Network. He said the same thing in 1994! He was wrong and will be wrong this time. Matt 24:11 "Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many". What happens May 22nd? Scripture is quite explicit: Matt 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

165 | jesus' go into hades | Acts 2:22 | BradK | 227471 | ||
Hello Paulus, If I may further note: To the question, "Where did Jesus go after he died?" According to Acts 2:25-27, Jesus said the Father would not leave his soul in hell or permit his Son to see corruption. The term hell here is Hades not Gehenna which is the lake of eternal fire. Peter is quoting from Psalm 16, vs. 10, a Messianic Psalm and the term hell there is Sheol (The OT designation for the abode of the dead). According to Acts 2:29-32 Jesus did go to Sheol Hades but he did not remain there. BradK |

168 | God change himself so moses could see Go | Num 12:7 | BradK | 227242 | ||
Hello Vicky, Quite honestly, I now have no idea where you're coming from or headed with this matter! Let's get back to page one: You made the contention, and the ENTIRE burden of proof is upon you to prove it's validity from scripture! You are asserting that Moses actually saw God. That contradicts scripture! Ex. 33:20 explicitly states, " But He said, "You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!" (NASB) How can you possibly prove otherwise? Scripture does not say Moses actually saw God! I'm glad you checked my profile out. However, let me make clear one thing: I'm not advocating that we simply agree to disagee- without qualification! On essentials I bleieve unity is crucial, on non-essentails liberty. That's what I mean by what I said. Finally, not to beat the proverbial dead-horse, but unless you can demonstrate conclusively from scripture that what you say has merit, let's drop this issue. I'm not seeking to debate this ad-nauseum and follow rabbit trails. With all due respect, you've proved nothing! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

169 | Moses has seen God Face to Face | Num 12:7 | BradK | 227236 | ||
Hello Vicky, I have read Num. 12:7-8. I also realize how the NKJV reads. To assert that Moses is the only person that has seen God face-to-face is to contradict scripture!! Please, re-read what I quoted, "The Bible Knowledge Commentary observes, "Yet Moses could not and did not look upon the person of God Himself for no one can do this and live (Ex. 33:17-23) for God is a Spirit (John 4:24). He saw only the form of the LORD, but even this was a privilege extended to no other man. The “form” refers to a likeness or a representation of the Lord, not the very shape." Here in Num. 12:8, a figure of speech is employed in saying "mouth to mouth" to show 'great intimacy'. We could say he was speaking "familiarly, and with really audible words." [Figures of Speech] Note the NASB, "With him I speak mouth to mouth, Even openly, and not in dark sayings, And he beholds the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant, against Moses?" It is important to not only know what scripture says, but what it means by what it says. I still don't agree with your contention! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

171 | United States in Scripture? | Ps 82:8 | BradK | 227022 | ||
Hello Holmes, I don't doubt that our country has been extremely blessed. Yet, simply because we may have "become the world’s only remaining super power." does not equate with any reference to the US within scripture? It further doesn't assume we have any particular significance within in the pages of the inspired Word! I'm assuming that you see the USA in these scriptures? How exactly do you support your conclusion? I too am not exactly sure where you're headed with these observations? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

172 | Is common law marriage acceptable | Heb 13:4 | BradK | 226796 | ||
Hello always, I believe I've given what God considers marriage? As Eastons' notes, marriage "was instituted in Paradise when man was in innocence (Gen. 2:18–24). Here we have its original charter, which was confirmed by our Lord, as the basis on which all regulations are to be framed (Matt. 19:4, 5). It is evident that monogamy was the original law of marriage (Matt. 19:5; 1 Cor. 6:16). This law was violated in after times, when corrupt usages began to be introduced (Gen. 4:19; 6:2)." In my state, Washington common law marriages are recognized but not officially established. Whether it's legal or not will depend up your states laws. "Common law marriage" is based on the parties’ agreement to consider themselves married and sometimes also on their cohabitation. This is not how God defines marriage is it? Keep in mind, man is always attemting to justify his sinful behavior and excuse it. (Jer. 17:9) What man legislates and sanctions and what God establishes as moral are often two very different things! I simply see no support for common law marriage within scripture.

173 | How can you tell if a prophet is true? | 1 John 4:1 | BradK | 226655 | ||
Hello kimeaux, There's simply no way to fully discern what you're relating from the details you've provided! It certainly sounds manipulative. The Word of God should be your source of guideance, not a man- or a supposed "prophet"! You should seek the counsel of and be directed by His Word, you don't need a so-called prophet to tell you these things! Notice Deuteronomy 18: Deut 18:20 '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.' Deut 18:21 "You may say in your heart, 'How will we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?' Deut 18:22 "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. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Deny, That helps, thanks for the clarification. I've been a believer in the Lord Jesus for 25 years:-) If you'd like, please read my user profile. I'm more than willing to help someone who's serious in their faith and seeks to grow in the Lord. The format of your questions appeared to be very "canned". If they were not, my apology:-)The Forum gets a multitude of individuals who are only seeking quick answers, not to actually learn. May God continue to direct your growth and discipling as, "you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food."

Hello skybender, We don't actually know who looked like what since none of us were there! The painting, "The Last Supper" by Da Vinci- as great of a work as it may be- is only his representation of the actual events! It is only speculation to assert the disciples manner or moods beyond what scripture tells us! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

177 | do animals have souls? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 226349 | ||
Hello truth, The term "soul" is translated by the Greek word psuche and the Hebrew nephesh. In the OT the soul signifies that which is vital to humans in the broadest sense. The Hebrew and Greek words for soul often can be translated as “life”. In this sense it is frequently used of animals (Gen. 1:20, 24, 30; 9:12, 15-16, Lev 11:10, Ezk. 47:9). The description of man’s creation in Genesis 2:7, the phrase “a living soul” (KJV) may be better translated as “a living being”, or "possessing life". The thought is not that men and women became souls, for clearly they had bodies. The use of the word in the original draws attention to the vital aspect of humans as “living beings". This in no way implies or says anything about animals having a soul! In the NT the word for soul (psuche) has a range of meanings similar to that in the OT. Often it is synonymous with life itself. Followers of Jesus are said to have risked their lives (souls) for his sake (Acts 15:26; cf. Jn 13:37; Rom 16:4; Phil 2:30). As the Son of Man, Jesus came not to be served but to serve and to give his life (soul) as a ransom for many (Mt 20:28; Mk 10:45). As the Good Shepherd, he lays down his life (soul) for the sheep (Jn 10:14, 17–18). In Luke 14:26 the condition of discipleship is to hate one’s soul, that is, to be willing to deny oneself to the point of losing one’s life for Christ’s sake (cf. Lk 9:23; Rv 12:11). Scripture doesn't actually say or teach that animals have souls! This is yet another example of numerous erroneous (false) teachings of the Watchtower Organization! Nowehere is either the OT or NT term applied directly to animals. Think about that. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello truth, Does scripture actually say "animals have souls?" You're making some inferences by proof-texting! What scripture conclusively supports your view? By the way, are you a member of the Watchtower Organization - a JW? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

179 | BAPTIZEM | John 3:5 | BradK | 226118 | ||
Hello sky... I'm not sure the meaning you're attributing to 3:5 here is correct? How do you arrive at your conclusion? Additionally, if it is baptism and the Spirit, which baptism? You have a bit of a predicament in exegesis! Are you therefore advocating baptismal regeneration...that baptism is required for our salvation? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK I |

180 | forgivness of sins | John 3:16 | BradK | 226067 | ||
Hello dd4, Could you clarify what you said about baptism in regard to "a few things necessary to be in Christ:"? Are you saying that baptism is a necessary element of salvation? That it is in some way salvific? The challenge with using Mark 16:16 as a proof text is due to it's being footnoted in most bibles. Since vs 9:20 are not found insome of the oldest manuscripts, doubt remains as to whether it was in the orignal Marcan texts! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
