161 | KJV Only Help | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 232929 | ||
Hello G. Preston, Let me state- with no animosity toward you- that I find the claims of the KJV-only crowd spurious at best and of dubious value. We're not talking a core issue regarding salvation nor even Orthodoxy. At best I see it as majoring on minors and chasing rabbit-trails. To what end? How much closer can we get to the original Word? What do we do with the Wycliff Bible? The Tyndale Bible- first printed NT in English based on the Greek? The Coverdale Bible or the Geneva Bible? The Bishops Bible published in 1568 was a revision of the Great Bible (1539) translated by a commitee of Anglican scholars. These are all translations, and all preceded the 1611 KJV! Did we not have the real Word of God prior to that? That would be patent nonsense to assert such a thing. As EdB stated, there are no original NT manuscripts in existance. None. There are nearly six thousand ancient manuscripts or protions of manuscripts of the New Testament. The oldest extant fragment of the NT comes from about A.D. 130- the John Rylands fragment of John 18:31ff) the KJV was based on the best manuscripts- available at that time! You ask, "why is another/new one necessary...for what purpose?" Well, I'll let Dr. Robert Plummer answer that one. He states in "40 Questions About Interpreting the Bible" [Question 7] regarding the KJV. "The best Bible translations are based on the most reliable ancient manuscripts of the OT and NT. The King James Version is not highly recommended because it is not based on the best manuscripts and because the 17th-Century English is hard for most modern people to understand. While it was an excellent work for it's day, the KJV has been supassed by many modren translations in both readability and faithfulness to the original manuscripts. Some people wrongly and often passionately claim the KJV is a superior translation of the Bible. The historical and linguistic facts do not support this claim." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello G Preston, Where do we find in scripture that eternal life is not received until after death? John 5:24 says, "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. Here "has eternal life" is in the present tense, so grammatically and scripturally, one who believes has eternal life at the point of their belief! Further, John 3:36 tells us, "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." So, it would be more acurate to say that one has (posseses) eternal life now but will not enter into their eternal state until after death. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

167 | Where did God and Jesus come from? | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 234889 | ||
Hello kitty, Actually, Jesus is eternal- pre-existing with the Father, "in the beginning". Otherwise, Col 1:16-17 makes no sense, "For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together." (NASB) In John 3:16, Begotten has to do with His incarnation, not physical birth! Col. 1:13-18, First-born (Gr. prototokos) is in reference to His position over creation, not that he was literally "first born". God has no physical birth! My guess, is that you are espousing Watchtower theology? Arianism was defeated and renounced as heresy at the Council of Nicea back in 325!

171 | Creation and Restoration of the Earth | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 235389 | ||
Hello Mr. Smith, If I may observe a couple things and then comment: 1. You seem to dismiss and disagree with the things you cannot sufficiently answer. Simply disagreeing with EdB doesn't validate YOUR view; 2. Anything regarding a Pre-Noahic flood is pure speculation! If you give speculative theology an inch it'll take you a couple of miles (Peake) So, where in scripture is there specific proof to this notion? What is your evidence? Just saying that it's God's Word because you say it, doesn't hold water, my friend... 82 years old or not. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

My dear Mr. Smith: I'm sorry, but your argument makes absolutley no sense! What does Gen. 1:1 have to do with this matter? How do you know the earth is millions of years old? Says who? Were you there? There is absolutely no Biblical support for the notion you're entertaining that there was a flood prior to Noah! None! It is pure speculation! Where are you getting this notion from? Did you arrive at these conclusion soley from your own study? Did you study or read others that held this view? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello fmp, You stated, "All the evidence, therefore, indisputably points to the fact that the Lord’s prophecy regarding the coming kingdom, as set forth in Matthew 16:28, Mark 9:1, and Luke 9:27, came to fruition on the day of Pentecost, fifty days after the death of Christ." I think it more realistic to say that 'some of the evidence' may point to this, and there is much that can be disputed about this supposed fulfillment. I will agree that Preterism is a legitimate eschatological view within the pale of Orthodoxy. Yet, it remains a minority view at that. I find that telling in and of itself!

Dear humbled..., Your words definitely strike on a point of truth. I thank you for speaking from your heart and sharing your perspective. Those of us who have been around awhile, I think realize that there are many who we don't hear from that are watching and reading. What we say matters and we should convey a Christ-like attitude and demeanor at all times. Sometimes we (and I) may fall short. From my perspective you have 3 catagories of people, in general: 1. Those who are serious and have come to seek, learn, and contribute; 2. Those who are "just passing through" so-to-speak; 3. Those who seek to disrupt and promote heresy The challenge is being able to discern, assess, and draw a quick conclusion based on only a few, if not just a single post! So, without making excuses or merely offering an apology, it is very difficult to determine who is serious and truly seeking an honest answer and who is merely playing games and being disruptive. Too often the bad outweigh the good. It is a problem inherent in a public Forum such as this. I think you'll find the heart of many, if not most of the "regulars" is to seek to honor and glorify the Lord by their participation. I'm glad to hear that you think this is "one of the best". I think it is too and that's why I strive to be a positive influence. Please, stick around and be part of the solution as well. We need others such as yourself:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi fw, First, you'll have to be a bit more clear on your question. What is seriously wrong? I'm not following you 100 percent. Second, if we really "tore into you", why did you bring the topic up? Sometimes we just don't like the answers we get- especially if it is truth! You were given wisdom from a multitude of counsellors! It helps us all when you are clear in your communication so that others can best understand you and provide proper responses. I hope this helps, BradK |

179 | fifth verse of psalms 23 what is it | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 158856 | ||
Hi vbrascom, Here is commentary from C.H. Spurgeon in his work, The Treasury of David: "PSALM 23:5 - EXPOSITION Ver. 5. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. The good man has his enemies. He would not be like his Lord if he had not. If we were without enemies we might fear that we were not the friends of God, for the friendship of the world is enmity to God. Yet see the quietude of the godly man in spite of, and in the sight of, his enemies. How refreshing is his calm bravery! Thou preparest a table before me. When a soldier is in the presence of his enemies, if he eats at all he snatches a hasty meal, and away he hastens to the fight. But observe: "Thou preparest a table, "just as a servant does when she unfolds the damask cloth and displays the ornaments of the feast on an ordinary peaceful occasion. Nothing is hurried, there is no confusion, no disturbance, the enemy is at the door, and yet God prepares a table, and the Christian sits down and eats as if everything were in perfect peace. Oh! the peace which Jehovah gives to his people, even in the midst of the most trying circumstances! "Let earth be all in arms abroad, They dwell in perfect peace." Thou anointest my head with oil. May we live in the daily enjoyment of this blessing, receiving a fresh anointing for every day's duties. Every Christian is a priest, but he cannot execute the priestly office without unction, and hence we must go day by day to God the Holy Ghost, that we may have our heads anointed with oil. A priest without oil misses the chief qualification for his office, and the Christian priest lacks his chief fitness for service when he is devoid of new grace from on high. My cup runneth over. He had not only enough, a cup full, but more than enough, a cup which overflowed. A poor man may say this as well as thosein higher circumstances. "What, all this, and Jesus Christ too?" said a poor cottager as she broke a piece of bread and filled a glass with cold water. Whereas a man may be ever so wealthy, but if he be discontented his cup cannot run over; it is cracked and leaks. Content is the philosopher's stone which turns all it touches into gold; happy is he who has found it. Content is more than a kingdom, it is another word for happiness." I hope this helps, BradK |

Hi Jimmyhen, It is not so much that I disagree with you as that you haven't proven your point! It is customary on the Forum that the one making the claim to shoulder the burden of proof. It's your job to defend what you said, not mine to refute it! Also, could you try using some punctuation, i.e. periods? Your response to Mark ran on as one long sentence and was a little hard to follow:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
