Hi rashiner, I will assume you've given this question some thought?:-) Would you mind explaining why God would NOT be as Holy and sinless as scripture says He is? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

202 | A Thought-provoking question | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 164160 | ||
Hi taraleigh, Thanks for the reply! It is easy to misinterpret the English on 2 Cor. 5:21 because it doesn't bring to focus the actual language used- Greek. We have to be careful not to place on the Person of the Lord Jesus something that He could not in fact have done- namely sin! He could not be our Mediator had He sinned, nor could He have been God had He done so. So, somewhere in between, we have to reconcile the attributes of a Holy God with the nature of man that Christ became. Becoming sin and actually sinning are two entirely different things. The late A.T Robertson, a noted Greek scholar says this in regard to the passage: "Him who knew no sin [ton me gnonta hamartian]). Definite claim by Paul that Jesus did not commit sin, had no personal acquaintance with it. Jesus made this claim for himself (John 8:46). This statement occurs also in I Peter 2:22; Heb. 4:15; 7:26; I John 3:5. He made to be sin [hamartian epoiesen]). The words “to be” are not in the Greek. “Sin” here is the substantive, not the verb. God “treated as sin” the one “who knew no sin." Much more could be said, but I trust this will help to clarify your understanding. Let me know should you like to discuss further:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

204 | Confronting another about sin | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 165474 | ||
Dear dr... I echo both brother kalos and Hank in their advice. Scripturally, I think Proverbs 5 and 7 speak to your situation directly. In all seriousness, Read them, re-read them, meditate on them and pray about it. I would keep your distance from this lady as it isn't proper to do anything else at this point. Urgently seek the advice and counsel of your Pastor/Elders or other trusted mature Christian. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

205 | Confronting another about sin | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 165499 | ||
Dear dr... Glad to hear that! It sounds like you got a handle on it:-) Ditto for what Emmaus said. Just be very honest and blunt and let her know exactly where you're at. Tough love (no pun intended) is definitely called for in this situation. As the older and wiser you need to prayerfully set the clear boundaries for her in no uncertain terms. God Bless and I'll lift you up in prayer to the Lord. BradK |

206 | 6 Greek terms for time are? | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 165531 | ||
Hi kennj, You may be referring to the Principle Parts. A verb may have up to six principal parts. In the following list the conventional order is observed: 1st — present tense (from which the imperfect also is formed) 2nd — future tense 3rd — aorist active 4th — perfect active 5th — perfect middle/passive 6th — aorist passive (from which the future passive also is formed) [Chapman, Benjamin. Greek New Testament Insert. 2nd ed., revised. Quakertown, PA: Stylus Publishing, 1994.] I hope this helps, BradK |

207 | Where in scripture is the fall of Satan? | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 166063 | ||
Dear Dr., Ezekiel 28 is generally given as depicting the "fall of satan". The New Bible Dictionary may be helpful in answering your question: "John tells us that ‘the devil sinned from the beginning’ (1 Jn. 3:8), and the OT references to him bear this out. Most of our information, however, comes from the NT, where the supremely evil being is referred to as Satan or as ‘the devil’ (ho diabolos) indifferently, with Beelzebub (or Beelzeboul, or Beezeboul) also employed on occasion (Mt. 10:25; 12:24, 27). Other expressions, such as ‘the ruler of this world’ (Jn. 14:30) or ‘the prince of the power of the air’ (Eph. 2:2), also occur. He is always depicted as hostile to God, and as working to overthrow the purposes of God. Matthew and Luke tell us that at the beginning of his ministry Jesus had a severe time of testing when Satan tempted him to go about his work in the wrong spirit (Mt. 4; Lk. 4; see also Mk. 1:13). When this period was completed the devil left him ‘until an opportune time’, which implies that the contest was later resumed. This is clear also from the statement that he ‘in every respect has been tempted as we are’ (Heb. 4:15). This conflict is not incidental. The express purpose of the coming of Jesus into the world was ‘to destroy the works of the devil’ (1 Jn. 3:8; cf. Heb. 2:14). Everywhere the NT sees a great conflict between the forces of God and of good, on the one hand, and those of evil led by Satan, on the other. This is not the conception of one writer or another, but is common ground." I hope this helps, BradK |

208 | Does Satan Really Exist? | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 166189 | ||
Dear Dr????, My friend, I'm aware of higher criticism, but the burden of proof is entirely on you to prove your assertion! However, for the sake of brevity and edification, I would expect it to fall on mostly deaf ears:-) Might I ask what your purpose is in coming to this Forum, and have you aquainted yourself with it's guidleines? It appears to me you may be more seeking a platform for your views versus objectively seeking truth? I could be worng, but... Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

209 | Does Satan Really Exist? | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 166203 | ||
Dear Dr.B, Thank you for your reply. You are entirely welcome to post, though there are boundaries designated by Lockman. In challenging you, I'm trying to ascertain whether a new poster such as yourself has familiarized themselves with Forum guidelines. This just helps alleviate misunderstandings. Fair enough? With that said might I inquire a couple of things?: 1. What is your theological/church affiliation; 2. What exactly is it that many fail to understand about the Book of Revelation? How does this impact whether satan is real or not? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Dear brice, It is clearly not found in the pages of scripture! It sounds like some hip, street-slang saying. Are you certian it isn't from a neighbor or someone else talking? Maybe the "Street" version of the Bible? In Him, BradK |

Hi Shythiyl, I'm not quite following your comments and how they relate to "Star Trek the Next Generation." Could you clarify what you meant when you said "scripture does depict individualism, but not gender, other than when refering to God the Father and Jesus the Son?" Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi ebrain, Good answer! My thought is when we can measure how far east is from west, we'll have taken a major step toward determining God's age:-) (The Book of Speculations has the answer to this question) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

213 | can we get baptized twice | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 168663 | ||
Hi BobbyF, My challenge to you is twofold: 1. Why would one want to be baptized more than once? 2. How does 1 Cor. 12:13 enter into this? "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." I guess I'm missing the biblical link that shows my commitment to Him by being baptized again! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

214 | What key words in the Greek/Hebrew were | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 169182 | ||
Hello Learner, For starters, knowing a bit about the grammer is very helpful as this can assist you in identifying the main subject of each sentence and the verbs (showing where the action is). A good grammar source like A.T. Robertson's Word Pictures, Vincent's Word Studies, or Weust can be very helpful in this regard. Additionally, a quality Commentary can help shed light on the passage(s) and specific meaning of key words. Aside from that, your own personal study, giving consideration to prophetic quotations (i.e. Joel 2:28-30) and the placement of Acts within the scope of the entire Bible are key to a solid understanding of the passage. You can't isolate Acts 2 from the rest of scripture in trying to understand it. May God guide you and bless you as you seek understanding:-) BradK |

Dear Mark, First, I think it prudent to inform Forum users a bit about any ministry PRIOR to giving a carte blanc endorsement. Second, Brother Keith Moore is a WOF advocate in cahoots with Copeland, et al! I would not endorse him in any way, shape or form! Hardly worth the visit.

Hi Jeff, When you get to the site, click on the blue tab bar "Moore Life Ministries" or "Family Life Church". The 3 biggest things I noticed were: 1. Absolutely NO Doctrinal Statement to be found or linked at all!. How can one gauge the soundness of any ministry without this vital info? I don't know; 2. The most prominent info displayed was a advertisment for a job position as an Airplane Mechanic- and you could click on a tab for more details?!?! 3. There were SEVERAL links for donations to Keith Moore and Family Life Church. This site struck me as petty WOF nonsense and has nothing to do with sound Bible study or serious sermons! Just my two cents worth, but I was UNIMPRESSED! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

218 | Judas is called the son of perdition | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 170322 | ||
Hi kalos, Interestingly, I am currently doing a bit of reading and study on A.W. Pink's, The Antichrist. All the more interesting given the most recent news about the surfacing of the "Gospel of Judas" is the comment offered by Pink about Judas in the chapter titled" The Person of the Antichrist": " In John 17:12 we have a word which, more plainly still, shows that the Antichrist will be Judas reincarnated, for here he is termed by Christ "The Son of Perdition." But first, let us consider the teaching of Scripture concerning Judas Iscariot. Who was he? He was a "man" (Matthew 26:24). But was he more than a man? Let Scripture make answer. In John 6:70 we read, "Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a Devil?" It is hardly necessary to say that in the Greek there are two different words for "Devil" and "demon." There are many demons, but only one Devil. Further, in no other passage is the word "devil" applied to any one but to Satan himself. Judas then was the Devil incarnate, just as the Lord Jesus was God incarnate. Christ Himself said so, and we dare not doubt His word. As we have seen, in John 17:12 Christ termed Judas "the Son of Perdition," and 2 Thessalonians 2:3 we find that the Antichrist is similarly designated—"That Man of Sin be revealed, the Son of Perdition." These are the only two places in all the Bible where his name occurs, and the fact that Judas was termed by Christ not a "son of perdition," but "the Son of Perdition," and the fact that the Man of Sin is so named prove that they are one and the same person. What other conclusion can a simple and unprejudiced reader of the Bible come to?" All may not agree however, we can agree that Satan is indeed a liar and such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ (2 Cor. 11:13). Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

219 | Judas is called the son of perdition | Bible general Archive 3 | BradK | 170325 | ||
Hi Tim, Your insight, as always, is appreciated. I'm not necessarily in complete agreement with Pink on this point. However, it is an interesting observation if nothing else. Possibly Judas could be the Devil incarnate- as the son of satan- in (counterfeit) opposition to Jesus as the Son of God? At any rate, the Gospel of Judas is, in my estimation, a satanic ploy to take the focus off the True God, Jesus Christ and His Person. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
