21 | Should the Bible be taken literally? | Bible general Archive 1 | Radioman | 15302 | ||
EdB: As has been said before, the fact that the 'experts' don't agree on every last little point is proof that they are not hatching one giant conspiracy for the purpose of deceiving and defrauding the reading public. The fact that evangelical authors of Bible reference books generally agree on the essentials is proof that each of them is not off on a separate planet doing his own thing. Ed, I honestly do not mean you when I say this: I agree that some seem to think that anyone who gets a book published is an expert. It is also true that: 1) None of these publishers is infallible, but Zondervan, Nelson, Moody Press, Foundation Publications, etc. do not publish books written by fools, ignoramuses, kooks, crackpots, cultists, etc. None of us will agree with every last word published by the above named publishers. But, the publishers have a reputation for sound doctrine and reliability to uphold. When they publish a book, they don't intentionally publish trash. 2) There are also some people who seem to think that since you author a book, the book is automatically trash and its author subject to suspicion. 3) I think that with some, and again, Ed, please believe me, I do NOT mean you when I say this. But, some of our chronic expert bashers are motivated by envy, a contrary and excessively critical spirit, or just plain ego -- arrogance and ignorance wherein they are wiser in their own eyes than 100 recognized authors and teachers. Take no personal offense, Ed, for none was intended. While I may not always agree with everything you write, I most certainly do believe you are a decent and honorable man, one deserving of my respect. Radioman |

22 | Who dose not belive in the TERM Trinity? | Bible general Archive 1 | Radioman | 20633 | ||
And since this couple does not believe in the Trinity, then they cannot call themselves Christians either. | ||||||
23 | Who were the witnesses? | Bible general Archive 1 | Radioman | 20634 | ||
With all respect, could you give an example or two of where the Left Behind series is a misleading interpretation of the scriptures? I have read every book in the series. I don't say I agree with every last interpretation of the authors. And I know there is some criticism of the theology of the books. But I would be interested to hear a couple of examples from you and how it is that they are misleading. Thank you. |

Colossians 2:9 Again you misquote the Scripture. It does NOT say Jesus *is* all fullness of the Godhead. What it does say is: For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Colossians 2:9 (KJV) I do not know for sure what topic you are discussing or what your point is. I am discussing the essential Christian doctrine of the Trinity. You either believe it or you don't. You have already said you don't believe in the word Trinity. Therefore, one would conclude you also don't believe in the concept of Trinity. One cannot reject the doctrine of the Trinity and still claim to be a Christian. We could argue all day about words and about what you believe. The bottom line is you either believe in the Trinity or you don't. If you're trying to convince us that the doctrine of the Trinity is false, that is another matter. If that is the case, I would point out to you that this subject, pro and con, has already been the subject of a long, voluminous debate on this forum. I suggest you use the search function to lookup the many, many previous posts regarding Trinity. |

25 | Only seal and horse in same verse Rev6:5 | Bible general Archive 1 | Radioman | 21504 | ||
Serenetime: You write: "Not treating people in a way where they want to avoid interacting on this forum." If you want to avoid interacting on this forum, you are free to do so. Be my guest. You write: "Your tone and note are quite offensive to me." Your tone is exceedingly offensive to many. This is not a forum for rambling riddles. Nor is it intended as a haven for universal religions who reject Christ and His Word in favor of a man-made doctrine. |

Who could argue with that? Since your post is totally unintelligible, incomprehensible and without either sense or meaning, it is impossible to agree or disagree with it. Next time you write a post, include some clues as to your meaning. If you're going to write total and complete babbling gibberish, there is no point in posting it. Come back when you have something to say. If you are a patient in an institution, that's different. In that case, never mind. |

Casiv: Peace to you, too, brother. With all respect to you, I went back through the thread before I posted to Serenetime and even then I still had no idea to what she was referring or what she meant. I don't mind following your suggestion to read Matthew 13. However, I thought we wrote and read Notes to the Forum to aid in our understanding of the Bible. Instead, it seems I must now read the Bible in order to understand a posting. I don't mean to be argumentative, defensive or offensive, but -- I just read Matt. 13:14-15. Now I don't understand what you are saying either. Do you mean that if I don't understand Melchizedekau, Elijah, Solomon, Serenetime, etc., it's because my heart has become calloused? No sarcasm intended, but I thought the reason I couldn't understand them was that they were not making their meaning clear. I thought it might even be because they were being obtuse or that they themselves didn't know what they meant. Again, this is not intended as sarcasm. I am saying exactly what I mean. Does this mean that now we all have license to sit down at the keyboard with our eyes closed, bang out any combination of characters and then when people of average intelligence can't make head nor tail of our words, we can claim that they just don't love us? That they don't understand because they have an inappropriate attitude? I'm not trying to put words in your mouth. Once again, I am asking for clarification of that which is not at all clear to me. If the inability to comprehend the writing of others is a character flaw, then I suppose I need to repent. |

28 | Was Satan on earth before Adam | Bible general Archive 1 | Radioman | 40602 | ||
You keep repeating that you believe the Bible and in the next breath you say everything you can to tear down the Bible and people's confidence in it. You continue to rattle on and on, contradict yourself over and over, put your ignorance on display, make the wildest assertions, without proof, that make no sense whatever, and refer to things of which you have neither knowledge nor understanding. It wouldn't hurt YOU to know more. Then again, maybe it would. A little learning is a dangerous thing. So far you are in no danger. Everyone has the right to their own opinion. But no one has the right to be wrong in their facts. I don't know what you base your opinions on, but it sure isn't the Bible. |

29 | Crusifiction of Christ | Bible general Archive 1 | Radioman | 41175 | ||
angel1: The Note quoted below does not rate a reply. Just ignore it. "Subject: Crusifiction of Christ Note: Dear angel1, "I have never been called a witch before, especially by a self proclaimed witch who admits to making statues of sorcerers who invited evil spirits into her own house. Since I am not a witch nor have I ever studied or practiced any type of witchcraft I am amased at the boldness you display in your accusation towards me. I thank God for you being a recovering witch and I give to Him the painful memories you still have against the evil that obviously seduced you into the lies and darkness of the occult. May you read the Bible and be cleansed and healed by the words of life. If you read this thread you will find that I believe Jesus was crucified on a cross not a stake as you seem to believe. . . " (Notice: There is no "fiction" in crucifixion.) |

30 | God protected Cain from whom | OT general | Radioman | 14179 | ||
From whom is God protecting Cain? Well, unless some men were descended from Adam and some from monkeys, apparently God is protecting Cain from the descendants of Adam, who are CAIN'S OWN RELATIVES. Perhaps not his immediate family, but relatives nonetheless. Any other answer would have to be founded on unbiblical speculation. |

Question: He asked about one single group Why is it so difficult to answer the question Brian Answer: He asked about "one single group?" DIM, in separate postings, asked the following questions: "What does the Church of Christ believe it takes for salvation?" "What do Presbyterians believe it takes for salvation?" "What do Catholics believe it takes for salvation?" "What do Lutherans believe it takes for salvation?" "I want to know what each denomination believes." |

33 | Churchianity to be answered: | NT general Archive 1 | Radioman | 7911 | ||
The Bereans corrected Paul and he accepted it? Where does it say that in Acts 17:11? By what stretch of the imagine do you take "they searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so" to mean they corrected Paul and he accepted it? Also, thank you for judging every church in America and finding yourself not guilty. But I guess never being guilty goes hand in hand with never ever being wrong. |

Steve Butler: "Radioman ... it is by implication." Radioman speaks: "It is by implication?" No, it isn't. It may be by the infallible inference of one who was "correct most of the time." However, no such implication is made anywhere in that entire chapter of Acts. Remedial reading: The Bereans corrected Paul and he accepted it? Where does it say that in Acts 17:11? Notice, the question is not 'where does it IMPLY that?' The question is 'where does it SAY that?' By what stretch of the imagine do you take "they searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so" to mean they corrected Paul and he accepted it? You have a real knack for changing the subject, ignoring the question, and then answering new and different questions that you made up. |

Hank: You write: " . . . (animals hardly have a conscience -- though I wouldn't be surprised to see this issue debated on the forum :-)." What saith the Panthera leo strang? How readest thou? All conscience is not the same conscience: but there is one kind of conscience of men, another conscience of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. Radioman |

You write: "what I think is the right way to test the translations and/or transliterations is to let scripture interpret scripture and study words into their original languages." It seems to me that more often than not we don't test the translations; instead, the translations test us and our "knowledge," whether those things are so. It takes a lot of learning or presumption to get a man so deep that he is qualified to second guess every verse of every translation. I'm not saying that every or any translation is infallible. However, when one questions a particular passage of a translation, often it is because that passage doesn't agree with that person's doctrine. Therefore, the individual feels the need to change the wording of the translation until it does support his/her doctrine. |

Congratulations! You have done an amazing job of taking the words that I wrote and twisting them around to mean the exact opposite of their intended meaning. Is this how you test the translations? Is this how you interpret Scripture? | ||||||

They want to be teachers of God's law, but they do not understand their own words or the matters about which they speak with so much confidence. 1 Timothy 1:7 (TEV) No one could possibly understand the things you write. It is obvious that you do not understand anything anyone writes to you. Thanks a lot for answering questions I never asked and for ignoring the issues I brought up and the questions I did ask. That was very helpful. |
