1881 | Christ Jesus testimony / Red writing | Rev 1:1 | BradK | 141955 | ||
Hi tduplechain, I'm still not clear as to your response! Are you basing it on something other than personal opinion or speculation? I fail to see how anything you said has to do with the question at hand: Do or Do not the "Red Letters" of Christ in the NT Gospels carry more weight than the rest of scripture? I await your answer:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi tduplechain, Suppose I tell you that I asked God and He told me they weren't? Now where are we? Your line of reasoning still makes little sense. I'll just leave this one for now. God Bless, BradK |

1884 | ... | Rev 1:1 | BradK | 215574 | ||
Hello Bab53, Welcome to the Forum. My question when this type of extra-biblical stuff comes up is this: Since Paul tells us explicitly that, "...it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me;..." (Gal. 2:20), why would we need a guardian angel? Is not Christ greater than any angel? I too see very little- limited- Biblical support for the notion of a guadian angel!

1886 | How old is God | Rev 1:8 | BradK | 168567 | ||
Hi ebrain, Part 2: Websters' defines eternal as: "having infinite duration : everlasting; of or relating to eternity; continued without intermission : perpetual; valid or existing at all times : timeless." I rather like what A.W. Pink wrote in regard to the Solitariness of God: "In the beginning, God" (Gen. 1:1). There was a time, if "time" is could be called, when God, in the unity of His nature (though subsisting equally in three Divine Persons), dwelt all alone. "In the beginning, God." There was no heaven, where His glory is now particularly manifested. There was no earth to engage His attention. There were no angels to hymn His praises; no universe to be upheld by the word of His power. There was nothing, no one, but God; and that, not for a day, a year, or an age, but "from everlasting." During a past eternity, God was alone: self-contained, self-sufficient, self-satisfied; in need of nothing. Had a universe, had angels, had human beings been necessary to Him in any way, they also had been called into existence from all eternity. The creating of them when He did, added nothing to God essentially. He changes not (Mal. 3:6), therefore His essential glory can be neither augmented nor diminished."

1887 | Can you tell me where was jesus for thos | Rev 1:18 | BradK | 144784 | ||
Hi Janae, I would have to take issue with you on this. This is part of the WOF heretical doctrines that Jesus Atoned for our sins in hell! Though I suspect you will disagree, this is not the Orthodox position, nor will you find exegetical support for it. Christ was buried in a tomb, hence, the ground- but certainly not hell. In Eph. 4:9 you have 2 words "lower parts"- katoteros and meros- neither of which translates as hell. Nowhere will you find scriptural support stating that Jesus went to Hell. It is simply incorrect theology lead by faulty assumption! Might I ask what scriptures you have in mind to support this? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1888 | Can you tell me where was jesus for thos | Rev 1:18 | BradK | 144789 | ||
Hi Janae, Apparently I'm still lacking, because I don't see Rev. 1:18 as any type of "proof-text" that Jesus went to hell. Lower parts as I alluded to can mean "the ground"- as Jesus was buried in a tomb. The point I'm making is this: there is simply no clear scripture that states "Jesus went to hell"! It is speculation- at best- to say so. There is a major difference between solid scriptural support for one's position and gross speculation. I also don't know how you could be so certain that Paul was referring to hell. Could you elaborate? Janae, I just don't see that you have very valid argument here from Gods' Word! Maybe you could answer as to why Jesus would need to go to hell to atone for your and my sins to begin with? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1889 | Can you tell me where was jesus for thos | Rev 1:18 | BradK | 144800 | ||
Hi Janae, Well I'm fine to leave it where it is on this point:-) I think we still have to distinguish between speculation and the Word of God being truth (Jn. 17:17). In studying the word for hell, the Greek word is gehenna. I don't see Paul using this word in any of his writings. I see it in the Gospels, but not Paul. How can a word which does not translate as hell- assuming Eph. 4:9 - be rendered such? So, the Holy Spirit told you that this word refers to hell... seems very subjective! Without trying to be facetious, to say the Holy Spirit "told you" it was hell... I just don't buy:-) What if I said He told me it wasn't hell? The bottom line is this: we need to be careful to not read into scripture and say something or base our beliefs on theological assumptions or speculation. It's not a matter of "you believe what you want" and "I'll believe what I want". It's: What saith the Scripture? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1890 | Is the KJV truer to the original mss? | Rev 2:28 | BradK | 80891 | ||
Dear Biblebeliever, While your staunch support of the KJV is evident, what is not is your love and concern. There is really no need to resort to caustic remarks and personal attacks to make your point. Furthermore, in my humble estimation, they do not promote nor strengthen your view. Would you kindly tone down your responses and avoid the hostility, my brother? I for one would appreciate it.You might also familiarize yourself with points 2 and 3 of the Forums guidelines. Consider this portion of scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 (KJV) 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

1891 | Both spirit and Spirit present within us | Rev 2:28 | BradK | 151683 | ||
Hi Ray, I believe the "concerning His Son" in vs. 3 and "Jesus Christ our Lord" at the end of vs. 4 frame the reference properly. "According to the flesh" is in opposition to "according to the Spirit of holiness". The former may refer to His humanity and the latter to His Diety. He was "declared" or "appointed" to be the Son of God in power by the resurrection from the dead. I hope this helps, BradK |

1892 | What is this "open door?" | Rev 4:1 | BradK | 156580 | ||
Hi Gary, I think quite honestly, your interpretation is a stretch! You cannot ignore the context, which you do in all the scripture quotations you cite:-( For example, 1 Cor. 14:1 says this: "Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy." This is the imperative where love is the focus and it closely follows 1 Cor. 13:13, where are told (as a comparative) , "...the greater of these is love". You appear to be the only one who holds to the view of John 3:3! That is pure and simple eisegesis, my friend. You're also making quantum leaps by stating, "This open door is a gateway in which we can enter into a visionary encounter with the Lord". There is simply no scripture which asserts this or backs your contention. Are you familiar with the principle of 2 Timothy 2:15 or Pauls' admonition in 1 Cor. 4:6, where he admonishes us, "...not to think beyond what is written"? 2 Cor. 4:2 implores believers by these words: "but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God." Now, let's rightly consider some perspective both sound and in context. First,read the context of Rev. 3:8. Second, in Rev. 4:1, John is the one conveying his vision- hence the Book of Revelation! This "revelation was given to HIM, not us! Finally, the Commentary Critical offers this: "1. After this—Greek, “After these things,†marking the opening of the next vision in the succession. Here is the transition from “the things which are†(Rev 1:19), the existing state of the seven churches, as a type of the Church in general, in John’s time, to “the things which shall be hereafter,†namely, in relation to the time when John wrote. I looked—rather as Greek, “I saw†in vision; not as English Version means, I directed my look that way. was—Omit, as not being in the Greek. opened—“standing openâ€; not as though John saw it in the act of being opened. Compare Ez 1:1; Mt 3:16; Ac 7:56; 10:11. But in those visions the heavens opened, disclosing the visions to those below on earth. Whereas here, heaven, the temple of God, remains closed to those on earth, but John is transported in vision through an open door up into heaven, whence he can see things passing on earth or in heaven, according as the scenes of the several visions require." Your hit-n-miss hodge-podge of scripture slinging leaves much to be desired:-( Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1893 | What is this "open door?" | Rev 4:1 | BradK | 156592 | ||
Hi Gary, Thank you for responding to me. I do look forward to more dialog on your thoughts. If I was too harsh, I apologize. I can only respond to what I read posted and it came across muddled. Too many on this Forum do not provide an adequate basis for "where they're coming from" so that's why I responded with a high degree of skepticism. In any case, feel free to reply. I think it would help, so please read my "bio" under my name by clicking on it. Have a blessed day as well. BradK |

1894 | What is this "open door?" | Rev 4:1 | BradK | 156981 | ||
Dear Gary, Thank you so much for your clearer explanation of what you meant and where you're coming from! Though I'm not in complete agreement with everything you said, it would be difficult to argue with the sincerity of heart in which you communicated:-) I commend you for your honesty and humility, brother. As I've said several times before, true communication only occures when both parties have understood each other. Let me offer 3 comments on what you said, hopefuly to clarify: 1. The purpose of the scriptures is to reveal a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ, 2. The purpose of prophecy- whether it be Daniel, Ezekiel, or Revelation- is to reveal, "the spirit of prophecy", the Lord Jesus Christ ( Rev. 19:10) 3. Job said in 42:5, "I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee." I would offer that the purpose of the book of Job is not to (just) explain suffering, but rather to reveal God! It answers the question of "Why do the righteous worship when they suffer". Job said he knew Him- not just about Him- but, a deep, abiding, intimate, personal relationship- for Who He really is. That's why he could say what he did. Thanks for checking out my User Profile to better aquaint yourself with where I'm coming from. Also, feel free to contribute to the Forum, though it might benefit you to follow some of the dialog and to get a better feel for what types of questions are asked and how they are answered. I appreciate you, my brother. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello John, I'd have to challenge your assertion when you state, "The first horseman is the antichrist"! Since it doesn't say, what scriptural proof can you offer to support your claim? At this point, I only see your speculation as to the menaing of Rev. 6:8. Might I recommend reading the "About Forum" and "Terms of Use". They may be helpful to you.

John, You still haven't answred the question! With all due respect, I really don't have the time or desire to read Gundry's work. What I was asking YOU, is to provide a scriptural framework to support YOUR answer! If you can't or won't, please don't waste anymore time on this subject! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
