161 | Pride is a good thing! Or is it? | Prov 23:7 | humbledbyhisgrace | 153397 | ||
Thanks for your response Mommapbs! I have not read this book so based on your recommendation, I searched the internet to look for a source to purchase the book. In the process of searching, I came across an interesting review of the book you mentioned. You can find this at http://www.behindthebadge.net/articles/a60.html As stated, I myself have not read the book but I did read the review. I realize this is only one mans view of the book. However, what he points out about the book is interesting. |

Thanks jlhetrick for your response! You bring out some good points but I'm not sure I would agree with you on why you think "To begin with the writer can in no way be considered objective and the article is presented mean spirited (in my opinion) which instantly rules it out regarding it's being informative or in any way helpful." At least I didn't see it that way. Also, let me point out I am not defending the review or the book. I've only read the review not the book so there is no way I would attempt to defend either one. So far, I only have a recommendation to read the book and a review done on the book by one man and of course your thoughts on the review. I posted the link only as information to the subject not as an endorsement. Just want to clear that up. Also, I'm very thankful for your thoughts on the subject and for the book recommendation from Mommapbs. |

163 | Do you disagree in whole or in part with | Prov 23:7 | humbledbyhisgrace | 153418 | ||
Interesting you would completely disagree. Just based on the review itself, I would say some of what was pointed out gives reason for pause in regards to the book, if what was pointed out is true. I would also say, that some of what was said in the review should also give pause to accepting the reviewers opinion on the book completely. Regardless, I would have to read the book myself to fully understand the arguments. I do thank you for your input. I respect your opinion because you have read the book yourself and most of all because of your willingness to share out of love. That is a blessing. Thanks! |

I didn't take it that you thought I was endorsing. I just wanted to take the opportunity to point out my stance on the subject of the review so that my questions and/or comments didn't come across as biased one way or the other. Personally, on this subject I'm seeking not teaching so everyone's input at this time is valuable to me as long as it lines up with the scriptures. However, I will state as I did in another post to Mommapbs, "Just based on the review itself, I would say some of what was pointed out gives reason for pause in regards to the book, if what was pointed out is true. I would also say, that some of what was said in the review should also give pause to accepting the reviewers opinion on the book completely". |

167 | where do animals go when they expire? | Eccl 3:21 | humbledbyhisgrace | 191582 | ||
Greetings rabban! You said "Who are you going to make the arbiter of truth? A failing church which has distorted God's truth through the centuries? And which part of the church? Are we to look to Apollos? or Paul? or Peter? (1 Corinthians 1.12). Whose interpretation are we to follow? It was because we must look to the Holy Spirit to illuminate our own minds that 1 Corinthians 2 was written." Did Apollos, Paul and Peter have different interpretation / teachings that contradicted each other? Was it not the lack of understanding and pride of those at Corinth that had caused the division? They needed someone to teach them God's truth!!! Paul did that and pointed them to Christ. The way you have presented this appears that the three had different teachings and the Corinthians were confused because they were taught different things. It is as if you have tied these men in as causes of the failing church as you call it. As if they had “distorted” God’s truth! Something that must be considered is the gifts that God gives to the members of His Church. What need of a gift to teach for example is there if all are capable of understanding on their own? Certainly if God sees fit to gift His Church with teachers then it does not contradict what you point out in your first paragraph of this post (i.e. the illumination of the Holy Spirit). Consider Apollos! Did he need a teacher? Acts 18:25-26 Steve |

rabban, I have read it. Several times! Note I said " The way you have presented this appears..." To me, it appears this way. Note again your statement/question "Who are you going to make the arbiter of truth? A failing church which has distorted God's truth through the centuries? And which part of the church? Are we to look to Apollos? or Paul? or Peter? (1 Corinthians 1.12)." You ask a question "Who are you going to make the arbiter of truth?" What follows as I read it is a suggested answer to your own question. "A failing church which has distorted God's truth through the centuries?" And then you continue on with your suggested answer "And which part of the church? Are we to look to Apollos? or Paul? or Peter? (1 Corinthians 1.12). That's how I see it brother! But far be it from me to put words in your mouth. If this was not your intent and I misunderstand you, I can accept that. But you will need to clarify it because like I said, it appears to me to say something you are saying it doesn't. Steve |

169 | Predestination | Eccl 6:10 | humbledbyhisgrace | 197523 | ||
Greetings Val! Unfortunately, this topic is one that for some unknown reason to me is not easily discussed by most without pride getting in the way. Unfortunately, the passage you offer neither proves or disproves either view on the subject. But your statement leading off the post does reflect what I'm saying about pride. At least it comes accross that way! :-( I only draw your attention to this to encourage you not to allow yourself to fall victim like so many have in the past. I've watched you post to the forum for some time now and it seems obvious to me you love the word and most of all the Lord God and you enjoy sharing and discussing His word with others. Always keep in mind dear sister it is His word and no man or woman ever has a position to lord over it! When others do, leave them to it and pray they come to understand how precious it is! For God Himself said "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." (Isaiah 55:11) May His word convict our hearts and humble us before Him a people desperate for His salvation, understanding and wisdom and may our hearts remain humbled before Him and may our words, actions and thoughts be honoring to Him! From the heart, Steve |

Mamre, Perhaps then you could love her enough to expound on the passages she has offered as her understanding of the subject! After all, it is included in the "WHOLE counsel of God" :-) Steve |

172 | Predestination | Eccl 6:10 | humbledbyhisgrace | 197553 | ||
DFP, Mamre is correct in that we must accept all of scripture. All of scripture is from God and although we may find some hard to understand and in some cases hard to accept, we are never given the option of picking and choosing. It is far better for us to stand before Him humbled and asking Him for wisdom. (James 1:5) God bless, Steve |

173 | Predestination | Eccl 6:10 | humbledbyhisgrace | 197605 | ||
Understand! Just keep in mind (as we all should), the common ground we seek should be His truth! Not ours but His!!! I do understand your point. Unfortunately, some are unable to discuss even His word without pride getting in the way. It is a SAD thing! You would think we would all be sitting around amazed at what is before us, awed at His wisdom and glory and humbled to find even the valley is too high for us! God bless, Steve |

Greetings Brother Tim! " However, we know from the New Testament that there was an even greater fulfillment where a virgin would conceive without knowing a mn. Which, brings us to the final issue. The doctrine of the Virgin Birth does not stand or fall upon how one translates the term in Is. 7:14. Why? Because, the inspired New Testament specifically tells us that Mary was a virgin." Amen and Amen! Excellent point! God Bless, Steve |

Greetings Murrai! Actually, It was Tim and Mark who responded with some great answers. All of it good but the point Tim makes regarding the inspired New Testament is something Christians need to keep in mind. In every attempt by a none believer to discredit the Word of God that I have seen, always falls short in light of the scriptures. This case is a good example of how one would have to disregard other scriptures in order for their argument to stand. Of course I'm convinced no argument will ever stand if it contradicts the Word of God :-) Let me take this time to invite you to continue to spend some time in this forum. I don't count myself in the mix but there are many others here that you can learn a lot from. You will find it is a good place to study and discuss the Word of God. God bless you in your study!

I hear ya! But keep in mind, there is nothing wrong with telling them you don't know. It still doesn't mean they are right and it certinaly doesn't mean our faith is not based on the truth. Don't forget to smile at them ;-) Knowing in all their selfrighteousness they are actually the ones that are wrong :-) and if it pleases the Lord God to open their eyes He will! Oh yea, and don't forget to pray for them! God bless, Steve |

Greetings MJH! Given the questions posed and the history involved, I would say it is not the terms of evil that need to be reconciled but rather the terms of good which are not understood. I see your not much aware of the history on this one. Never the less, your desire to help is admirable (I think?). However, attempting a shot across the bow when surrounded by fog is really not the smartest thing to do! You may find out your shooting in the wrong direction! Steve |

178 | Why was Jesus hung on the cross? | Is 53:10 | humbledbyhisgrace | 180690 | ||
Do you believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God? Do you believe there is any other way to salvation other then through Jesus Christ? Do you believe Jesus Christ to be God incarnate? Steve |

This is the Study Bible Forum. A place to study the word of God. It is Not a place to post fruit cake ideas based on false teachings rooted in the different releigons you presented in your post. I would think the web site name should have been a clue to you. | ||||||
180 | Why is Jeremiah as the weeping prophet | Jer 18:6 | humbledbyhisgrace | 209288 | ||
Greetings Rolff, I'm a bit confused by why you would say "Everyone wants to be appreciated, Jeremiah was not appreciated and even spent a time in the septic tank where he was slated to die--but he was rescued." It seems to me that is far from what we actually know of Jeremiah. If it were appreciation he was seeking then would he have endured all he did for the glory of God? Or would there have been such despair for the people? Granted, he was not appreciated by the people. But I'm not aware of Scripture that would give reason to believe Jeremiah was seeking the approval of the people for self glorification. That in and of itself seems to contradict the message all together. Jeremiah 20:9-12 (NASB) 20:9 But if I say, "I will not remember Him Or speak anymore in His name," Then in my heart it becomes like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; And I am weary of holding it in, And I cannot endure it. 20:10 For I have heard the whispering of many, "Terror on every side! Denounce him; yes, let us denounce him!" All my trusted friends, Watching for my fall, say: "Perhaps he will be deceived, so that we may prevail against him And take our revenge on him." 20:11 But the LORD is with me like a dread champion; Therefore my persecutors will stumble and not prevail. They will be utterly ashamed, because they have failed, With an everlasting disgrace that will not be forgotten. 20:12 Yet, O LORD of hosts, You who test the righteous, Who see the mind and the heart; Let me see Your vengeance on them; For to You I have set forth my cause. Could you please explain from Scripture what you mean by the statement? To me it doesn't fit so if Scripture teaches that indeed it does, I would be more then willing to view it as Scripture teaches it :-) Thanks! Your brother in Christ, Steve |
