161 | Marks of a False Teacher | Is 30:10 | Glory Bound | 130034 | ||
As is said; For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. |

162 | How do we OBTAIN mercy? Hebrews 4:16 | Matt 5:7 | Glory Bound | 130032 | ||
As a final thought, one might want to consider the following. The Gospel brings judgement on those who do not believe and mercy to those who respond. God Bless GB |

163 | How do we OBTAIN mercy? Hebrews 4:16 | Matt 5:7 | Glory Bound | 129975 | ||
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God. Deu 4:31 (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. We obtain mercy simply because "the LORD thy God is a merciful God" Mercy is obtained through the blood of Jesus. GB |

Great answer. The scripture you point out is the only answer to such a question. I am amazed that people can actually believe such atrocious claims. It is the enemys attempt to degrade the one and only actual occurance. GB |

166 | is jesus god | John 1:1 | Glory Bound | 129970 | ||
True, but aren't there those of us who can defend the truth against the many who preach "the vain philosophies of man?" Or are we all afraid of the attacks suffered by those who do? The Internet is a world of wealth. Some Christians consider such forums a waste of time. I attest that anything one does that advocates the true Word, is worthwhile. As with everything good, there are those who will find a way to use it for bad. Can we Christians not serve our Master with the same steadfast perseverance as they? I just had to say that... GB |

167 | KJV the ONLY authentic Word of God | 2 Tim 3:16 | Glory Bound | 129968 | ||
As is the norm Ed, you have expressed my thoughts exactly. I started with the KJV, but didn't really understand a lot of what I read, so I determined to read whether I understood or not. Eventually I began to understand considerably more. When I discovered the NIV, my studies became considerably faster and more fruitful. The more I study scripture, the more I realize that even the KJV is not 100 percent accurate in it’s translation. Together, with the KJV, NIV, Interlinear Hebrew Greek and English, Matthew Henrys concise and 6 volume commentaries, Strongs Exaustive Concordance, The Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge (TSK) and various other study materials, I am finally able to understand 99 percent of whatever I read. Yet, and still, every time I reread, I see that there is still more than I have seen before. Through the invaluable and FREE resources of eSword, I also have dozens of other versions of scripture. Some aren’t worth the Cyber Space they are written in. I know exactly what you mean when you state, “Personally I think we go too far trying to accommodate everyone’s preferences to the point of dividing ourselves.” I also know the feeling of “not confusion, but indecision concerning how to word it” experienced by those such you and me who use more than one version. This limits me to the KJ and NIV. The various others are only study aids. It also leads me to much paraphrasing, which is not necessarily good. I have determined that I will not be mislead concerning scripture, and have concluded that there is only ONE TRUE WORD. As long as the versions are true to scripture, I can’t help but to think of what the Lord said to the disciples concerning those who did not teach as they did. Personally I think that if a person is sincere, the Holy Spirit will reveal the truth, and thus the individual will hopefully follow. As to the divisions and confusion caused by the various versions, I feel that they are due primarily to the fact that the Church does not always practise what it is that they are supposed to preach. Neither do they always preach what it is that one is commanded to practise. I would put you in mind of what is said in scripture concerning “itching ears.” GB |

168 | Rule or Ideal? | 1 Tim 3:2 | Glory Bound | 129963 | ||
I doubt you mean it this way, but your thought could very well escalate in the same manor. In such a day as this, your phrase "one woman man" reeks with the stench of the same arguments that grew to advocate same sex marriage. Your thought could very well be interpreted as anti marriage. I know what you appear to be saying, but personally I do not feel right debating a matter which, stated as you have put it, could very well be the opposite of what it appears. If your question is sincere, you might wish to word it a little differently, for I wouldn’t know whether to debate your thought, or light a fire under it. GB |

Was I presumptious in thinking that your point would be the first consideration of a "devout" Christian. I use the word devout becaust too many who claim to be Christians fool only themselves. GB |

171 | A SIN TO FILE BANKRUPTCY | 1 Pet 4:10 | Glory Bound | 129876 | ||
Hi Ed. I am sure it is a statement of fact that "you don't think any true Christian can .... do this or that." Yet, I sincerely doubt that either you or I have the authority to make such a judgment. Wanting to correct something, and having the ability to do so is often two different things. We can easily look at someone else and say this, but often we can't see the light till it is turned on in our presence. I agree with you, particularly concerning non conformity, but there is a nagging thought that bankruptcy is one of the laws of the land, agreed on and accepted by both the lender and the borrower. Don't get me wrong. I'm just pondering that nagging thought. GB |

172 | should I worry about using NIV over KJV | 2 Tim 3:16 | Glory Bound | 129774 | ||
To date, there are some very wise answers to your question. The Holy Spirit showed me the NIV shortly after it was published in it's entirety in the late 1970's. At the time I had made up my mind that I was going to read the bible from cover to cover. I started in the KJ reading 10 chapters a day. It wasn’t long till I realized that I simply didn’t understand ½ of what I was reading, but I was determined, so I started reading like this; Today I would read chapters 1 through 10. Tomorrow, 5 through 15. The following day, 10 to 20, and so on. This was a slow process, but I did understand quiet a bit more. At the time, I did not know that there was a bible other than the King James. At least, not one I wanted to believe in. In prayer, I told the Lord one night that there must be something out there that I could understand better than the KJ. I was in the Navy aboard the USS Eisenhower. One day while walking through a passageway, I spied a young fella in a corner reading a book. I don’t know why, but I asked him what he was reading; He stated. “The Bible.” I told him, “it doesn’t look like my bible.” He said. It’s the same as the King James. To make a long story short, I borrowed that NIV from this stranger. We became the best of friends, and through a little monetary persuasion, about 50 bucks for this 10.00 issue, I finally talked him out of that bible. Whereas I was double reading the King James, and understanding, maybe 70 percent of what I was reading, I immediately started reading 60 or more chapters a day in the NIV and understanding 90percent plus. I have determined that I will not be misled when it comes to the word of God. I have scrutinized the NIV in reference with the KJV and the Interlinear Hebrew, Greek, English Version. There is no doubt in my mind that of what scripture is available today, the NIV is an inspired translation which is as good as the best and better than most. Look at Ps 23:5 in the KJ and NIV. Then see what it says in the Good News Bible. If there is that notable a difference, are you wise enough to recognize the others? KJV- my cup runneth over, NIV-my cup overflows (same meaning) Gnb-fill my cup to the brim (there is a large difference between a cup filled to the brim and one which is overflowing.) My favorite passage is 2 Timothy 2:15 Check it out. Your determination and perseverance will pay off. GB |

Other than ignorance, is there any basis for such a claim? I hate to put it bluntly, but everyone I have encountered who make such claim, make it through total ignorance concerning anything beyond what their grandparents knew concerning scripture. GB |

174 | Understanding Psalms 45 | John 1:1 | Glory Bound | 129772 | ||
Here is what Matthew Henry states concerning Ps 45. I can think of no better way to put it. Psalms 45 - This psalm is an illustrious prophecy of Messiah the Prince: it is all over gospel, and points at him only, as a bridegroom espousing the church to himself and as a king ruling in it and ruling for it. It is probable that our Saviour has reference to this psalm when he compares the kingdom of heaven, more than once, to a nuptial solemnity, the solemnity of a royal nuptial, Mat_22:2; Mat_25:1. We have no reason to think it has any reference to Solomon's marriage with Pharaoh's daughter; if I thought that it had reference to any other than the mystical marriage between Christ and his church, I would rather apply it to some of David's marriages, because he was a man of war, such a one as the bridegroom here is described to be, which Solomon was not. But I take it to be purely and only meant of Jesus Christ; of him speaks the prophet this, of him and of no other man; and to him (Psa_45:6, Psa_45:7) it is applied in the New Testament (Heb_1:8), nor can it be understood of any other. The preface speaks the excellency of the song (Psa_45:1). The psalm speaks, I. Of the royal bridegroom, who is Christ. 1. The transcendent excellency of his person (Psa_45:2). 2. The glory of his victories (Psa_45:3-5). 3. The righteousness of his government (Psa_45:6, Psa_45:7). 4. The splendour of his court (Psa_45:8, Psa_45:9). II. Of the royal bride, which is the church. 1. Her consent gained (Psa_45:10, Psa_45:11). 2. The nuptials solemnized (Psa_45:12-15). 3. The issue of this marriage (Psa_45:16, Psa_45:17). In singing this psalm our hearts must be filled with high thoughts of Christ, with an entire submission to and satisfaction in his government, and with an earnest desire of the enlarging and perpetuating of his church in the world. To the chief musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil. A song of loves. GB |

Thank you my friend. Actually, considering your "left hand turn statement," I can't help but to think that I may be talking to Rush Limbaugh. Ha.. It seems everything, everyone and every frame of mind has a label this day and time. Listening to Rush is how I realized that I am a conservative. Yet and though, just as I do not claim to be republican or democrat, though I do lean to the republican mindset, I don't claim to be a conservative either. Not in the general sense anyway, for I have noted that both conservatives and liberals today are either Ultra conservative or Ultra liberal. There is no middle ground. I think there is a middle ground. I also think that there are times when one needs to go in the other direction, but most who consider themselves either conservative or liberal, hate the other direction so bad that even when they know it's right, they refuse to go that way. Why? I think it is human nature. I call it bull headedness. Look at scriptures depiction of the Jewish people. Look at the people today who refuse to accept what scripture states. It's their way or no way. I think labels are a sort of segregation, and are very bigoted. Perhaps they are necessary to a degree, i.e. Christian and sinner, yet I believe that bigotry against SIN, (not the sinner) is the only bigotry God accepts. GB |

I love you dear brother. Your posts are inspiring. Please forgive me for saying this, but I hate it when I hear someone, particularly another Christian say "I don't think any true Christian can .... do this or that." I would ask the person who makes this statement, Are any of us perfect yet? Would you cast the first stone? Is it our responsibility to judge, or rather, to enlighten? I know that we are all guilty, but would'nt you agree that such a statement reeks of judgement and self righteousness? A loving reminder that we all need to consider from time to time. GB |

No, I do not believe bankruptcy is against scripture. Not in and of itself. What I was attempting to point out is that the more you ask, the more "opinions" you will likely hear concerning the matter. For a scriptural answer to your question, one needs to do some in depth scriptural research, or find someone who has done such and is willing to share their findings. It is unlikely you will find many who have done this, yet there is no doubt that you will find many who are willing to give an opinion. It is my experience that opinions are rarely worth much more than the paper they are written on. In the case of an opinion which is posted on the internet... well, hopefully you understand what I am saying. God Bless GB |

I know that this is a Bible study forum, and my question may be out of line, but it is biblical and I would sincerely like to generate a topic of discussion concerning the following. 1) I know it has been said for generations past, and that no man knows that hour, but, and I pose this question only to the scriptural learned; Can the second coming of our Savior not be far off considering the state of affairs in this world today? i.e. the Jewish exodus from France back to their homeland, - thousands daily, due to persecution; The state of near apostasy in this very country, i.e. the removal of centuries old bibles in the front of court houses, and the removal of Judges from the bench for refusing to order the removal of the Ten Commandments from public view, etc etc etc??? 2) Does any scripturally learned Christian actually believe they can justify voting Democratic? Oh I know there are many who call themselves Christians who do, and they can blab a good defense without quoting a single biblical passage. Thanks for your scripturally founded thoughts. GB |
