21 | James commentary recommendation? | James | Huron | 142484 | ||
I'm going to be studying James in a couple of weeks. Can anyone recommend a quality commentary on James. (I have been using Eerdman commentaries, not sure if they have one on James or not) |

22 | The dead in 1 Pet 4:6 | 1 Pet 4:6 | Huron | 142356 | ||
Is it possible to interpret this verse such that it's saying something close to the following: "The gospel has been preached even to those who are now asleep in Christ. Though they are now dead, perhaps due to persecution, they live in the Spirit. Though they are dead now, Christ will have the final say." Thoughts? Huron |

23 | baptism and the appeal to God | 1 Pet 3:21 | Huron | 142090 | ||
My take on this is that back during Peter's time people where baptized shortly after conversion. They made a pledge or statement of belief on Christ at the time they were baptized. This was part of the "appeal to God for a good conscience" which is what actually allowed Peter to say that "baptism now saves you." Am I in the ballpark? Thanks! Huron |
||||||
24 | Yet another baptism question! | Col 2:12 | Huron | 131698 | ||
This is a cross reference from Romans 6:4. Now in Romans chapter 6 he is talking about sanctification. Here in Colossians chapter two, Paul doesn't appear to be when you look at this verse and include up to verse 14. My hunch is that baptism doesn't provide justification, but this verse does seem to point at justification. Secondly, how can you tell when the word baptism means "with water", and when it means "with the Holy Spirit". I appreciate all views on this, whether you agree with me or not. Regards, Huron |
||||||
25 | Romans 6:4 sanctification or salvation? | Rom 6:4 | Huron | 131391 | ||
It's my contention that Paul is talking about baptism in view of sanctification here in Romans 6:4 when you look at the whole chapter in context. Is that accurate, or is he speaking of baptism in regards to justification/obtaining salvation? | ||||||
26 | Did Jesus purify the temple twice? | John 2:15 | Huron | 126079 | ||
In John's Gospel, Jesus is shown hear purifying the temple in the early part of his ministry. Matthew, Mark, and Luke give an account of this near the end of his ministry. How do you account for this? Did Jesus purify the temple twice? I'll bet that I've read the NT 20 times or more and have never noticed it till now. Thanks! Huron |
||||||
27 | Freewill before the fall? | Gen 2:9 | Huron | 125838 | ||
Before Adam and Eve ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil did they have "freewill"? My guess is they did, but I'm interested in hearing what others think about this verse. Thanks! Huron |
||||||
28 | Nailing down John 3:16 | John 3:16 | Huron | 125837 | ||
Would it be fair to say that "the world" in this verse means all of mankind? Are there any qualifiers on the word "whoever" here? I read this as absolutely anyone, is that correct? Thanks! |
||||||
29 | Key verse of the Bible? | Bible general Archive 2 | Huron | 125644 | ||
What would you say is THE key verse in the Bible? If you could just share one verse with the everyone that you met, what would it be? I'm guessing that for most people it would be John 3:16, but I would like to get some opinions. Regards, Huron |

30 | sound byte or context? | Bible general Archive 2 | Huron | 125585 | ||
When using scripture to discuss Christian topics and support your viewpoint, how do you know how much context to use? To provide an overly simple example, 1 John 4:8 "The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love" Some people might argue from that verse that God wouldn't send anyone to hell, but in the context of the whole New Testament, or 1 John for that matter it obviously isn't true. So to be fair you can't use "sound bytes". To give a real world example, Romans 9:11 "For though the twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that God's purpose according to His choice would stand, not because of works but because of Him who calls," Now, if we look just at this one verse it seems to be the perfect verse in support of predestination. On the other hand, when you look at it in the context of Romans chapters 9,10,11 you see that Paul is explaining that just because the Jews have the birthright as God's chosen people that does not guarantee salvation for them. God can choose to use the Gentiles, and branch Israel could repent and be grafted back in to the tree. So, what real world rule of thumb do YOU use? Huron |

31 | Good guides to Old Testament Manuscript | Bible general Archive 2 | Huron | 125450 | ||
I've enjoyed reading the works by Metzger including "Metzger's Textual Commentary on the Greek NT", and his book the, "New Testaments Transmission, Corruption, and Restoration". Does anyone know of any similar books for the Old Testament? Thanks! Huron |

34 | Good Pro Textus Receptus Book? | Bible general Archive 2 | Huron | 125250 | ||
I've read some good stuff by Metzger that supports the use of the oldest manuscripts, and that supports newer English translations over those based on the Textus Receptus. Are there any really good PRO-TR books out there? Most of the stuff I've seen tends to use circular reasoning. I'd like to read a good pro-TR book to be really familiar with arguments from both sides of the aisle. Thanks! Huron |

35 | Can ANYONE believe? | Acts 10:34 | Huron | 125143 | ||
Could you deduct from this verse that EVERYONE is created with an opportunity for salvation? | ||||||
36 | Threatens to leave if believer attends | 1 Cor 7:15 | Huron | 117155 | ||
What if someone threatens to leave if the believer goes to church? (I'm not talking about a situation where the person goes to church every night, I'm talking about a believer that wants to go once a week.) Should you go to church and let the person who made the threat make the choice if they want to follow through with it or not? Thanks! |

37 | Reconciling Rom 8:39 with Heb 10:26 | Rom 8:39 | Huron | 116398 | ||
I'm having a hard time reconciling Romans 8:39 with Hebrews 10:26. I'm thinking that one solution is that while it may be possible to walk away from the Lord, nothing external of that relationship can cause us to lose the love God has for us. Also, are the "love of God" and salvation necessarily the same thing? It's also possible that I'm not reading Hebrews 10:26 correctly. This "receiving the knowledge of the truth", is that knowledge about Christ, or is it the born again believer? Thanks for any insight you can give this puzzled believer. Huron |
||||||
38 | Another possible view? | Heb 9:23 | Huron | 115294 | ||
Could the heavenly things be the believer, or Church? Thanks! |
||||||
39 | Heavenly things required cleansing???? | Heb 9:23 | Huron | 114671 | ||
I'm puzzled. This verse is saying that heavenly things needed to be cleansed. What heavenly things? Why would THEY need to be cleansed? I've probably read this verse 50 times in the course of the last 20 years or so, and have never seen this. Now I'm stumped! Thanks! Huron |
||||||
40 | Here is where I'm puzzled | Luke 8:15 | Huron | 111825 | ||
I'm one hundred percent in agreement with everyone that says that God gives us a new heart when we are in Christ. (Ezekiel 36:26-27) Where I am puzzled is when I see these verses that say (apparently to me anyway) that these folks who received the Word did so BECAUSE their heart was different. To put it another way, it isn't saying that their heart was different AFTER they heard it (although it obviously would be), it appears that the heart in both of these examples was already open BEFORE they heard the Word. Regards, Huron |
