Dear Frankie, Actually, what you wrote is almost word-for-word from the Watchtower Online Library. If you are a Russellite, I am amazed, because in signing up and posting, is affirmation of your agreement with the Apostles Creed, the Nicene Creed, the Chalcedonian Creed, etc. All of which are anathema to Jehovah Witnesses. So by signing up, you not only witnessed to the world your embracing of these creeds, and you also witnessed this to your fellow Russellites. I will never understand how you cults think that lying and cheating will persuade anyone to follow your lead. In Him, Doc |

Hi, Polycarp... The "gap theory" is what you are referring to in your post to awesome73 -- a post, by the way, that is some 18 months old. This creation theory is not held by orthodox Biblical Christians. Indeed, I can only think of one theologian who was a proponent of it who was relatively conservative: Donald Grey Barnhouse, if memory serves. This is also commonly taught by Russellites (Jehovah Witnesses). It is also called by various other names: the ruin theory or reconstruction theory. Are you a Jehovah Witness? In Him -- Jesus our Lord -- Doc |

This also strikes me as Russellite teaching. You have read the Terms of Use? Every post you make you are affirming those Terms of Use, including Christian doctrines that are very non-Russellite indeed! | ||||||

Hi, John... Ed may continue to interact with you, and I welcome him to do so. However, there is a convention we've adopted in the forum to only mark as questions those that begin a thread. If you ask someone directly, then mark it as a note. They will be notified, regardless. This also keeps the main forum page clear for new questions. Here is a helpful source: https://www.monergism.com/ Type in your search words. There are many articles and lectures available. You might want to use the search word canon, apocrypha, etc. These books you're talking about are certainly odd in many respects. I've read through them, as Ed has probably done, too. For those of us from a Reformed background: we actually have the following explicit statement in our confessions: "The books commonly called Apocrypha, not being of divine inspiration, are no part of the Canon of Scripture; and therefore are of no authority in the Church of God, nor to be any otherwise approved, or made use of, than other human writings." In other words, to us, these books are not to be depended on... for a "rule of saving knowledge, faith, and obedience." In Him, Doc |

Hi, Ed... Which Apocryphal book contains the good information about worship? I rather enjoy the ones that tell tales of Daniel as though he were an ancient Sherlock Holmes. Bel and the Dragon is particularly a good story. In Him, Doc |

171 | what language is Moses and Gershom | Bible general | DocTrinsograce | 242930 | ||

Given Exodus 2:10, "And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water." Why would we not see the names origin as Egyptian. | ||||||

Hi, ma'am... Welcome to the forum. No, we Jews actually exist. We are quite careful in tracking our lineage. We only do it through the mother ... father's are harder to prove. We also do it in order to keep track of kohanim (the descendants of Levi). In Him, Doc |

Hi, Justme... Eastern Orthodox is pretty much the same as Roman Catholic. They differ predominantly in church polity. The Easter Orthodox deny the authority of the Pope. In Him, Doc |

Hi, Hash... Welcome to the forum! Every generation of men seek to provide a sound and reasonable explanation for our observations. If you went back to the height of the Greek civilization, you would find that they had a very cogent explanation concerning the many fossils they found them and for the motions of the planets and stars. One thing that all these things -- including our own contemporary explanations -- have in common is a denial of God. As Romans 1 clearly explains, it is not truth that men seek, rather it is justification to avoid being obligated to the Creator. Thus, it is not a question of fact, but a question of ethics. Now the word "fate" that you use is not one employed in Christian theology. Rather it has its roots in ancient paganism. Ephesians 1 and 2 describe the objective toward which our God is heading -- unimpeded by creatures' choices, plans, and efforts. This is what we call His Eternal Purpose. You can find further details in the last few chapters of Revelation. In Him, Doc |

Hi, Hash... In my opinion, the idea of the so called "rapture" is a confusion with the resurrection described in Revelation 22. Consequently, I cannot otherwise comment on that. "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed [in the Bible] belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law." (Deuteronomy 29:29) In 1 Timothy 1:3-7, the Apostle Paul warns Timothy to instruct men not to teach nor to listen to speculative themes. Even more than that, God commands, "You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it." (Deuteronomy 4:2b; cf Revelation 22:18-19) Anything that I might speak concerning extraterrestrials would be sheer speculation. Given the passages I mentioned above, it would be sinful for me to do so and likewise sinful for those who would listen to me. Consequently, I can do nothing but remain silent on subjects for which the Scriptures do not address. In Him, Doc |

Hi, Justme... Yes the Eastern Orthodox vary somewhat as to which confessions are those with which they would agree. I don't think there is any problem with their agreement with Christendom as a whole in the ecumenical councils. They tend to put a lot of stock in the words of those they call the Apostolic Fathers. In that sense, they are a lot like the Roman Catholics and the Pentecostals. Where they would all differ is on WHO are the Apostolic Fathers after the death of John. They have a term Patriarch that is not easily achieved, but is right up there in authority. In the US the American Orthodox Church they have a pretty comprehensive compilation of their faith and practice. In Russian they have something called the Orthodox Confession of Moglias in 1643). There was some disagreement so there was a council in Jerusalem which produced the The Confession of Dositheus for Eastern Orthodoxy (1672). They are pretty strict in following the various Archdiocese to which they submit. I have had the opportunity to hear various Eastern Orthodox fathers give instruction. However, I am certainly no expert. In Him, Doc |

Nonetheless, there are some who have taken on the task of producing a translation of the Bible in Klingon. (http://klv.mrklingon.org/) :-) I'm just poking fun... But I have often wondered if the people involved in this effort did not benefit from the exercise. I quite doubtful that any Klingons have. |

Dear Ed, Sorry... I should have been more clear... By "Apostolic Fathers" the RCC and EO mean a succession of men of equal authority with the Apostles of the New Testament (see the Roman Catholic Catechism part 1 section 2 paragraph 815 and elsewhere; cf Orthodox Dogmatic Theology by Father Michael Pomazansky). They differ, though, as to who those fellows were, are, and ought to be etc. Although they do agree that this succession must be maintained in a hierarchical manner by their individual lines of authority. This doctrine is called Apostolic Succession (AS). Yes, any Historically Reformed believers do not agree with AS. However, this is not a doctrine simply shared by Protestants as a whole. Others who DO believe in AS include the Anglican Communion, the Porvoo Communion, the Church of Finland, the Church of Sweden, the Independent Catholic Churches, High Church Lutherans of Germany, Polish National Catholic Church, Ecumenical Catholic Communion, Palmarian Catholic Church, etc. Each of these hold with Apostolic Succession, but deny the authority of the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church or the Bishopric of the Eastern Orthodox Churches. Indeed, a document of particular authority in your own denomination is the position paper on Apostles and Prophets. It was published in August of 2001 by the General Presbytery of the Assemblies of God. You can read it here (it is a PDF document): http://ag.org/top/beliefs/Position_Papers/pp_downloads/pp_4195_apostles_prophets.pdf They also seem discourage a what they deem as a non-Biblical doctrine of AS. By the way, I highly recommend reading this document by anyone. It gives a very cogent Biblical discussion concerning apostleship; particularly in the first eight pages. Very well done! Thank you for helping me clarify. In Him, Doc |
