1821 | If you live right, you are rewarded? | 1 John 1:9 | BradK | 134311 | ||
Survivor, What you term "severe prejudice",a "stifling enviroment", and "hatred based on ignorance" is entirely misplaced. Here's why: You are in direct opposition to not only historic, Orthodox Christian teaching, but specifically, the Lockman Foundations' Doctrinal Statement and posting guidelines regarding the Diety of the Lord Jesus Christ. "Postings must be Biblically based and not opposing to the authority of the Bible, Christianity, or the deity of Jesus Christ. Whenever possible, postings should include supporting Bible references." From my experience, there is an implict agreement of the doctrinal position for one be accepted and not be "stifled". You are obviously opposed to the basic core beliefs held to by the sponsor of this site. Simply put, your running against the grain, which is why you're getting some slivers, my friend:-) Do you honestly expect to be welcomed and embraced by presenting cultic teaching? It should be fairly obvious that for someone who's doctrine is diametrically opposed to the accepted postion of a particular organization, that they'd be met with resistance! Now, to echo my brother, Tim, I too love you with the love of Christ and would rejoice for you to embrace Him as your Lord and Savior. I pray for the veil to be lifted from you.

1822 | Ten commandments should be obeyed . | 1 John 2:4 | BradK | 53715 | ||
Dear reasnerm, Could you clarify your response regarding the 10 Commandments, specifically where you say" they have been added to"? I'm not sure I follow. Jesus most definitely intensifies the law in the Sermon on the Mount to show that it was not the letter of the law that mattered, but what was in their hearts.The Apostle Paul reaffirms Christs'command to love your neighbor in Gal 5:14, yet he also states prior that "all the law is fulfilled in this".(Matt.22:36-40) Also, how do we reconcile with Gal.3:23-24, Rom 6:14,10:4, and Heb.10:1-4? Yours In Christ, BradK |

1823 | Ten commandments should be obeyed . | 1 John 2:4 | BradK | 53794 | ||
Reasnerm, I agree with you. Thanks for the clarification. We're dealing with the issue of Sanctification, or what I call "how to live Godly in Christ Jesus". In other words, what is my motivation to live a godly life? I believe you referred to it in an earlier post, Titus 2:11-12. I believe this to be one of the single best examples in scripture of what a believers motivation should be: Gods' Grace!(cf 1 Cor.15:10) Obviously Paul deals with the "cheap grace" issue in Rom. 6- grace IS NOT a license to sin. From my understanding of scripture, it becomes an issue of "yielding" to the Spirit. How do we do this? We could look at a number of verses, Gal. 5:16, Col.2:6,3:12-14,Rom.13:14, 2 Cor 5:7, that deal with the new man. Our goal is to daily appropriate His help and blessing by faith. We are exhorted to be: "filled with the Spirit" Eph. 5:18 "filled with the fruits of righteousness" Ph. 1:11 "filled with the knowledge of His will" Col.1:9 "filled with the fulness of God" Eph. 3:19 Yours In Christ, BradK |

Dear Bubbatate, Frankly, I must admit to being confused regarding the content of some of your posts. It might be fair to ask that you "show us your hand" so-to-speak! I've stated my purpose in previous posts, and a summary of my beliefs are under my user info. Would you be so kind as to either provide myself or the Forum with a short bio, or perhaps let us know where you stand in regard to the Essentials of the Christian Faith. I would like to know if you do hold to the inerrency of scripture, and if you've accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. As this is the world-view of this Forum, I think it is a fair request. Respectfully Yours In Christ, Bradk |

Dear Bubbatate, You said in giving your definition of inerrancy "He didn't say Pauls' word or anybody elses'. If anything contradicts a 'thus saith the LORD' I'm not including it in my theology". Am I correct to understand that you would not hold the Pauline Epistles on the same level of authority as the OT or Gospels? ( 2 Tim. 3:16) Jesus said to her," I am the resurrection and the life: he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?" ( Jn.11:25,26) Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

Hello Larry, You said "i do thank is the last president" (sic). Are you referring to Obama and saying you think he is the last president we will have? If so, on what do you base that comment? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1830 | What is "the anointing"? | 1 John 2:20 | BradK | 52671 | ||
Hi Mike, I believe that the NT "anointing" is best explained by 2 Cor. 1:21.(also 1 Jn.2:20,27) Note that it is God who anointed us in Christ and gave(sealed) us the Holy Spirit (vs. 22). This anointing is one time just as it was for the OT Levitical priest(Lev. 4:5). I can find no scriptural basis for a "second" or further anointing as some may teach. It might be of interest to note the usage of 2 different Greek words with reference to anointing. The usage of chrio (Strongs 5548) is found in Lk.4:18,Acts 4:27,10:38,and Heb 1:9. It is always used in connection with the Holy Spirit in these verses. The word aleipho (Strongs 218b)is used in Luke 7:46 and John 11:2,12:3. Its reference here is in connection with being annointed with oil, etc. Yours In Christ, BradK |

1831 | What is the answer to doctrinal debates? | 1 John 3:2 | BradK | 52221 | ||
Yes,God's Word is settled in heaven(Ps.119:89). However, this side of eternity we will have to contend with doctrinal disagreements. I would seek the Unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (Eph.4:3). Also, we as believers should strive for the imperative put forth in Col.3:12-16. Disagreements are part of life, it's how we chose to handle them that reveal our character. Yours In Christ, BradK |

1832 | What is the answer to doctrinal debates? | 1 John 3:2 | BradK | 52232 | ||
Hi John, I would whole-heartedly agree with you. We MUST NOT substitute unity at the price of sound doctrine. There is a definite tendancy toward this, that we must be careful and guard against. I believe Paul addresses such an issue in 2 Timothy 4. I am always wary of the ecumenical movement for this reason. Yours In Christ, BradK |

1833 | Is it possible to sin in heaven? | 1 John 3:2 | BradK | 119220 | ||
Jephthae, I must concur with our brother, Hank! You'll get further and be in compliance with the Lockman's stated guidelines by providing a scriptural basis for your answers. There is no scriptural basis for the statement that, "Anyone can be a satan or devil." Please clarify your statements in order that you may better communicate exactly where you are coming from. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1834 | The effects of Repentance | 1 John 3:6 | BradK | 178940 | ||
Hi Doc, Quite right. And, if I may sum it up from scripture: "For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death." (2 Cor. 7:10) BradK |

1835 | would u still go to hell | 1 John 3:9 | BradK | 235753 | ||
Hello fmp, I agree with the first part of your response. One is either "en Christo" and saved, or not- according to Eph. 1:7. However, I'm not following your reasons for one being "unsaved" and Hell being their distination(sic)? Where exactly do we find this supported by scripture? Your reply seems a bit dogmatic! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
||||||
1836 | Hereing from God | 1 John 3:22 | BradK | 213113 | ||
Hello fw, For one, I agree with Doc. God speaks to us through his Word (Heb. 4:12), not subjective "experiences". It's not a matter of one being right, but where do you find support in scripture? Rom. 4:3...? If you've heard from God in an audible voice, what did He sound like? You're in extremely rare company! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
||||||
1837 | Hereing from God | 1 John 3:22 | BradK | 213135 | ||
Hi James, While I can't argue with your "experience", experience itself is not a valid measure of truth! Again, it is subjective, the Word of God is not (John 17:17) What I might ask- and a question I pray you yourself are asking- is: What is God supposedly saying to you that cannot be communicated through His written Word? How do you know it was actually His voice? You don't have time to look up scripture? Hmmm...I might add that I don't really believe you can find any support for your contention! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1838 | Hereing from God | 1 John 3:22 | BradK | 213136 | ||
FW, Can you be a more specific? Just throwing out possibilities, or what comes to mind, doesn't help and shows to me that you don't know what you really experienced?! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1839 | Hereing from God | 1 John 3:22 | BradK | 213153 | ||
Hello James, It is not my intent to be difficult or engage in an ongoing debate on this matter. However, our disagreement is about sola scriptura. This is a foundational doctrine of Historic Christianity! Yet, you continue to substantiate nothing. Not a shred of scriptural evidence have you provided. None! Vague references don't prove anything! The burden of proof is clearly on you to support your claim, not on I to disprove! There is not one single verse where God is teaching and or prescribing that dreams, visions, and audible communication from Him are to be for all people at all times! Not one! Proof to the contrary...??? Here are a several OT and NT verses that teach and proclaim the authority of the written Word. Josh 1:8- "This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success. Ps 119:9- How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according to Your word. Ps 119:11- Your word I have treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You. Ps 119:116- Sustain me according to Your word, that I may live; And do not let me be ashamed of my hope. Ps 119:148 - My eyes anticipate the night watches, That I may meditate on Your word. Ps 119:160 - The sum of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous ordinances is everlasting. Matt. 4:4-10- Jesus counters satan through the reference to and quotation of the written Word of God. He thereby proclaims it's authority! John 17:17 "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth." Nothing said about dreams, visions, or audible communication. The Word and Jesus are both truth; Rom 10:17- "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ" 2 Tim 3:16-17 - "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." No mention that dreams, visions or audible communications from God hold any comparable or similar authority for the believer; Heb 4:12- "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." The Word of God is living and active... Jude 1:3- "Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints." The Canon of scripture is complete. No further revelation is necessary or authoritative! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello kc, I've said all I intend to on this matter. If you like, please go back and re-read all his posts! I'm not the one dismissing, down-playing or challenging the authority of scripture! Your questions should be directed to James:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
