21 | 2 Corinthians 11:4 | Deut 18:1 | BradK | 54657 | ||
Dear Forum, Have any of you seen the recent Full-Page add taken out by the Unification Church? We had it in our local paper (Seattle Times) in the second section of last Sunday, July 7th. I assume it was also in most major newspapers. The add was a truly "bizarre" compilation of "spiritual" connections with all of the leaders of the 5 major religions (including Christianity) endorsing the (Un) Rev. Moon. Our Pastor had been asked to meet with a group of women who had only recently attended(or maybe infiltrated) our church this past Winter. After attending for a period of 2-3 weeks, they asked to meet with the Pastor under the guise of supporting Family values, etc. It didn't take long for our Pastor to determine that they were a front for the "Moonies" and he summarily dismissed them. He told me of another pastor friend in SW Washington that had a similar experience recently. Has anyone had this happen in their church or know of its' prevalence? Yours In Christ, BradK |

22 | The Primacy of Gods' word | Galatians | BradK | 50133 | ||
Dear justme, Your response brings up a number of issues. I'll start by stating my view on the Primacy of Gods' word.(2 Tim.2:15) Gods' word must be foremost(primary) in our dealing in scriptural matters.(2 Tim. 3:16-17) We do need to be careful that we do not supplant 21st Century cultural influences for the Word! (Jn. 17:17) I hope we are in agreement on this. I have no problem with women being in the mission field or serving as teachers and speakers like Dr.Grahams daughter. There doesn't appear to be any scriptural prohibition against it. However, when it comes to doctrinal guides pertaining to who is qualified to be a Bishop, deacon, or Pastor-Teacher I believe 1 Tim. 3 and Titus 1 are ample for support. Note that ALL references to offices are in the masculine in the Greek! This is a debatable matter, but I personally hold to these offices in the NT as being masculine in gender. (Our church holds to this view as well). Do I "think that the culture of biblical times was inspired as the word is?" I can't speak to this other than to say I know the word is inspired, but will not go beyond what is written into speculation! (1 Cor.4:6) Gal.3:28 is dealing with the "oneness" of those in Christ, not gender neutrality in heaven. As far as "Our Father God neither male or female, sexually, but complete in and of the Fathers self?" What does this mean? I'm not sure but it seems to stretch the revealed word of God.(1 Jn 3:2) Scripture ALWAYS refers to God in the Masculine, the Greek is very specific here! I will gladly see something if it's in the realm of Biblical truth. Hope this helps. BradK |

23 | Can a believer be possessed? | 2 Cor 1:22 | BradK | 46762 | ||
Dear Hank-Alive, I was somewhat puzzled with your response to Phebe regarding how a believer knows if he/she is possessed. Where is the scriptural support for your statement that "demons can and do indwell the bodies of believers". Also, in Acts 5:3 the context needs to be clearly understood. It does not say that Annanias was possessed by Satan!( for that matter, scripture doesn't infer that he was or wasn't a "believer") He (Peter) asks, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit. In verse 4 it says, why has thou conceived this thing in thine heart?. This is a long way from "proving" that a believer can be possessed. Outside of the OT and Gospels, there are no recorded instances in the Pauline Epistles of demons or demonic possession. Yours In Christ, BradK |
