161 | Were priests electrocuted? | 2 Tim 2:15 | keliy | 210414 | ||
Thanks Brad, I agree w/you as it did sound far-fetched when my friend explained it, but he was so convincing in the account of what he heard. I am also in agreement to use a fair amount of discretion when watching the network. have a godly day, keliy |

162 | Were priests electrocuted? | 2 Tim 2:15 | keliy | 213462 | ||
Well no, I don't watch that network anymore either, it did not seem to be based on biblical truth. My friend who I consider to be a very strong Christian was raving about the show, and how the host of the show backed it up with science. There was something about the placement of the choice of metals that would cause enough electrical charge to kill the priest. I was just looking for some sort of response to give to my friend, but since this was first posted last Oct, I must apologize at this point for not remembering more of the details. Lord Bless, keliy |

163 | Bible Version for Lutheran | 2 Tim 3:14 | keliy | 214327 | ||
Thank you, Diane. There is little in this life that is more fulfilling than helping to enlighten someone who is trying to find ways to learn the Bible. I enjoy audio sermons and place wireless speakers around my house to listen whatever room I'm in. An excellent site to look at is blueletterbible.org I actually heard of it first here at SBF., around 8 years ago, and I use it on a daily basis. You can type any verse or book into the search box, or even a group of words to find a verse. then you can click on audio or textual commentaries and you get more information that is related to that Book, maybe like historical or cultural backgrounds. You can compare about 17 Bible versions, including Hebrew, Greek and Latin languages, so you can see there is a lot of info. I am happy that you joined a Bible study web site. Nine years ago I was in your shoes, so to speak and I took a correspondance course that started at Gen 1:1, and continued to a college level course with a personal instructor. Praise God that He provides people to help us all grow. You mentioned overseas... were you there in the military? Lord bless, keliy |

164 | Bible Version for Lutheran | 2 Tim 3:14 | keliy | 214328 | ||
Hi Diane, Sorry, I had to split this into two parts. Actually, Deu 14 Is a part of the Torah. In a somewhat limited sense, Torah refers to the 5 books of Moses, that we call the pentateuch, (penta means 5), which of course includes: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. God had chosen the Jewish people to bring His Word into the world, so actually the Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew language, -with a little Aramaic too. The laws concerning food begin in Leviticus: 'Nevertheless, you are not to eat of these, among those which chew the cud, or among those which divide the hoof: the camel, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you. (Lev 11:4) But, thankfully, for non-Jews at least, these laws end in the New Testament. -So we are not hindered from enjoying bacon with our eggs. (-: See Acts 10:5 and 11:9. Lord bless, keliy |

F.C.S. Yes I agree completely, I don't think it was God's intention for there to be denominations. And you hit the nail right on the head when you mentioned the word, Relationship. It is not about Religion. The very fact that you felt led to post those remarks attest to your relationship. Lord Bless, keliy |

Hi All, There is some good wisdom in Philippians 2:3, "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself." In order to emanate the aroma of Christ, we all need to govern ourselves, not each other. Actually we all are hoping to have a mature and thought provoking time at studybibleforum.com God Bless, and bless God (o: keliy |

Lord Bless you, ovadyah. Remember that followers of Christ will necessarily endure hardships due to perecution from others. This should be considered a blessing, for if you are never being persecuted, you may not be following Him close enough. You are fine, ovadyah. I know some Christ-centered Jews, I have some relatives native to Alabama, and also many dear relatives that are disciples of the pope. As Jesus taught, "Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also." Jhn 15:20 Continued blessings to you, keliy |

Just as an added thought, we all may be put under pressure at times, this happened even before Christ. But, if the heart is attentive to the revelation of the Holy Spirit within our human spirit, then our defenses are more able to remain secure against whatever the enemy places into our path. As Isaiah says, “Thou dost keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusts in thee,” (Isa 26:3 RSV). Continued blessings, keliy |

172 | Are Catholic members consider Christian? | Heb 12:23 | keliy | 217182 | ||
Hi Edd, I actually like your question as it prompts much personal and biblical study. There are a few RCC adherents in my life that I have been dialoging with and this required me to do much more study into the teaching of the RCC. I agree with Doc, and know of many who call themselves Christians, but do not adhere to the teachings of Christ. Please read the parable of the wheat and the tares, and pray for enlightenment, as you are entering into spiritual warfare here. On one side we have God's Word, which is always true. On the other side we have the words of satan which are primarily deceptive. What it boils down to is the battlefield in the mind. Many that we think are not Christians may very well be saved, for God looks at the heart, while man can only judge by what he sees. I know of some Catholics who are saved, but it is in spite of the teachings of the Catholic Church. "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, [then] are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:31-32 , KJV) Here is a quote from a monthly newsletter I just received: "The most valuable reality anyone can attain in this life is to order his life by the highest standard for truth. All who are chosen and justified by God, saved and redeemed by Jesus Christ and sealed and indwelt by the Holy Spirit are promised eternal, everlasting life with our great God and Savior. Yet over 50 percent of professing Christianity denies this glorious promise of the gospel." -Mike Gendron http://www.pro-gospel.org/x2/pdf/Vol18No3.pdf May the Lord bless us all in our quest for His Truth, keliy |

Hi fcs, No apologies necessary, we forgive grammar as well as spelling (o: You mention adhering to the Holy Bible in its entirety, and I am with you on that, wholeheartedly. However, to look at it from the other side, the RCC says they have the entire Bible and protestants use only part of the Bible. Do you see my point? History tells us that Jerome, considered to be the 'father of the canon' was dead set against including the apocrypha in the canon -and only after being pressured did he relent and put it in a separate section, -like at the back of the Bible. Catholics do believe in Jesus as the Son of God. This is very unlike the mormons, so that comparison gets squashed at the outset. Same with the J.W.'s. Catholics believe in the Trinity. I do think that many catholics are going to heaven, yet for what I learned about the child-abuse scandal, I think that the present pope should be locked up. When you say "the whole counsel of God is taught/preached in truth." you have to realize that catholics believe that they belong to the one true church. So it is hard to argue for truth with someone who thinks you are protesting against the truth. There are those who have left the RCC, and are now walking in the true light, yes. But catholics have asked me, "if we are wrong then how is it that there are so many protestants converting to catholicism? Speaking of 'true light, Jesus is quoted as saying, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." Jn 8:12 Our Savior also said in Jn 8:31-32, " If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. It is just not possible to make a valid point to someone who thinks you are hopelessly lost unless you truckle over to their belief system. Please keep in mind that it is not flesh and blood at the heart of these disagrements. The battle will rage on until Jesus returns. Try to keep a Christ-like attitude toward the lost sheep is all that I can offer. Lord bless, keliy |

Thank you, fcs for your post, and for making your position so pleasantly clear. We all know that the Bible is the Word of God and that no truth will contradict it. So when we scrutinize the teachings and doctrines of various churches, we actually are following an important command from the Bible, to examine all things (1Thes 5:21, 1Pet 3:15, 2Tim 2:15, Acts 17:11, and Jude 3) Basically, Protestants accuse the RCC of being unscriptural, and the RCC states that the Protestants do not possess the true faith that has been carried through the centuries by the RCC, via 'apostolic succession.' Whichever side you choose, the real issue is whether or not the RCC is representing true Christianity. When Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees He chastised them for misunderstanding God's Word. They were appealing to the tradition of their elders, but Jesus exposed their error by citing Scripture. Some of the roman catholic's doctrines are: purgatory, veneration of Mary and saints, veneration of relics, penance, the mass, the priesthood, confessional, indulgences, and oh, what about the annullment of marriage?! Can these doctrines be backed up by Scripture? I suggest that we can see the reason why the RCC says "Sacred tradition and sacred Scripture make up a single deposit of the Word of God" (CCC par. 97) And who's authority actually makes their tradition 'sacred' (other than themselves)? Gal 5:19 says, "Now the works of the flesh are manifest", and in verse 20, 'heresies is listed. Now, why would heresy be listed as a work of the flesh? because it has to do with pride. Just the same as when satan purposed to cast doubt upon God's Word when he tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden. So, my favorite question to ask catholics is, "Do you believe that Jesus Christ's Blood shed on the cross is sufficient to save you from your sin? because the doctrine of purgatory denies that it is. And without the doctrine of purgatory, the whole catholic system would fall apart. God Bless you, my fellow evangelist. May our Lord increase your territory. keliy |

176 | all good things come to those who wait | James 1:17 | keliy | 216152 | ||
One passage that may answer your question is Lamentations 3:25,26. The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. -But I am thinking, that the best you could hope for IS in the Lord, so the answer is self-evident. Blessings, keliy |

177 | Kill your brother and drink strong drink | James 2:10 | keliy | 211054 | ||
Hi Pete, You are very wise to be following such good advice. To get to know Jesus first is very important. -For no other foundation can any man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. (1Cor 3:11) - then we must build upon the foundation like a man who built his house upon a rock, And the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. (Mat 7:24,5) So do not be confused about Scripture that says it is alright to kill a brother -for any reason, because to diregard the law of the land is to disobey God. That is brought to us in Romans: Rom 13:1 Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. Rom 3 For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; 4 for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. Remember, that now we are in New Testament times. Testament means Covenant, which is a promise that is not to be broken. Jer 31:31 tells us, "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah.." -That 'New Covenant' comes to us through Jesus Christ, who was, and is 100 percent God, and 100 percent man. Jesus breaks down the Mosaic Law and the Ten Commandments into the Two Great Commands: "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' "This is the first and great commandment. "And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' "On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." (Mat 22:37-40)(Jesus speaking) -So you see, if anyone kills a brother, hurts him, or even calls him a name, they are guilty of disobeying God's law. Finally, Pete, I agree with Starting the NT in Matthew, but, instead of continuing to the next gospel, may I suggest to break the NT into four sections, and reading a gospel between each section? After Matthew, you might want to skip to Romans, which is very rich in doctrine. Then the pastoral epistles, such as 1 and 2 Timothy will help you to build upon that foundation, line upon line, precept upon precept. To read all four gospels might get a little distracting. I say this because each one brings a different point of view as God uses man's hand to bring us His message. Matthew is about Jesus the King. Mark's focus is Jesus the Servant. Luke is about Jesus the Man. John focuses on the deity of Jesus which is most important to me. -Christology is an awesome subject to study. There is so much depth in God's Word, and I have to thank you again for bringing your questions to us all at the Forum. We come here from all around the world! We all love to study and fellowship in God's Word, which has so much wisdom and depth, it takes a lifetime and then some to discover it all. I myself did not start reading the Bible until after the new year in 2000, and our Lord has been faithful to repay all of my time spent studying with a peace that I can find no where else on earth! Praise the Lord. In His service and yours, keliy |

Brother John, Thank you for replying to my post. Although I am not proud of my wandering in the widerness for approx 35 years in rebellion, it does bring me a great deal of pleasure to see how far the Lord has brought me in such a short time. And the fact that, being forgiven for so much, have so much to be thankful for. Let the peace of God rule in your heart to which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Col 3:15 Peace and Grace, keliy |

180 | Actual bodies in heaven? | 1 John 3:2 | keliy | 213934 | ||
Dear Doc, You Wrote: "There is an erroneous teaching that is common today that believers will receive "new bodies" in glory. We believe in the resurrection of the body, not the creation of a brand new body." I am of the mind that our resurrected bodies will not have flesh that requires blood. We may be identical in appearance, but our cells will likely not be reproducing at the rate that replaces our entire body every seven years, and we will most likely not be dependent upon 14 psi of atmosphere that contains approx 19 percent oxygen. The following verses are what Chuck Smith used to support his views: For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself. ( Phl 3:20-21) "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, it doesn't yet appear what we're going to be, but we know that when He appears we are going to be like Him" (I John 3:2). And as is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, so shall we also bear the image of the heavenly (1Cr 15:48-49). But flesh and blood can't inherit the kingdom of heaven, so I've got to have a new body. A new body that will be fashioned like to the body of Jesus Christ, His spiritual heavenly body. That's what my new body will be like. (Chuck Smith) flesh and blood can't inherit the kingdom of heaven (1Cr 15:50) Now behold, I show you a mystery; We're not going to all sleep, [we're not all going to die,] but we're all going to be changed, in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality (1Cr 15:51-53). In anticipation, keliy |
