21 | Help me find an accurate study Bible? | Bible general Archive 2 | tgc | 141443 | ||
My two favorite study bibles are the Nelson complete study system and the MacAruther mine are in NKJV. However the NASB is an excellent translation and I really do not think you could go wrong with choice I personally would lean toward The New Inductive Study Bible because of its organized approach to Bible study. This is the system which I recommend to all those who I teach. A quick look at Christan Book.com will give you an ideal of the many different choices that are out there.

22 | speaking in tongues | NT general Archive 1 | tgc | 122046 | ||
Greetings Ken John, Overall I must agree with what you have posted. However consider this the sign gifts ceased at the death of the last apostle. And the passage in 1 Cor. you refer to " when that which is perfect is come" Couldn't that be the Bible. Just a thought Would like your input. In Christ Love, tgc | ||||||

Greetings Ken John, The verse I refer to is 1 Cor. 13:10 " But when that which is perfect has come that which is in part will be done away". What I suggest is that the Bible is that possibly that which is perfect. In Christ Love, tgc | ||||||
24 | speaking in tongues | NT general Archive 1 | tgc | 122099 | ||
Seacher, Do not take this note the wrong way it is not directed in a mean spirited way at you. But here is the question I pose how important is the question of tongues? I have noticed that this thread is very active and growing all the time which shows me that there is a huge interest in this question but as long as we can agree that tongues is not necessary for salvation and that if an unknown tongue is spoke in a church meeting it has to be translated then checked by scripture then what is the big dael. I relize I have been very active in this thread and I am just throughing out something that has been on my heart. In The Love of Christ, tgc | ||||||
25 | What are the essentials | NT general Archive 1 | tgc | 124261 | ||
Mommapbs, I certainly agree that the reciteing of the creeds is a beautiful ceramony and the information in the creeds is taught it is very revealing and helpful in bible study but I think that if we are going to repeat creeds as part of the wqorship service it should be only on occasion amd should never take the place of straight up Bible teaching. XRing please go back and read how this thread staeted Hank responded to a question I ask about Church Unity however I do agree with your statement that reciteing the creeds should not take the place of bible study in the church. Finally Hank thanks for your help again you have got me started when I was at a sticking point. God Bless You All In The Love Of Christ, tgc |

28 | Explanation of Genesis 6:1-6 | Genesis | tgc | 127570 | ||
I have been pondering on this question for some time. So I thought I would seek the wisdom of many of you on the forum. In Gen. 6:1-6 NKJV) Genesis 6:1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they [were] beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he [is] indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore [children] to them. Those [were] the mighty men who [were] of old, men of renown. 5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every intent of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. 6 And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. Here is the question it seems from what I can learn the classical reading of this is that "the sons of God" refered to in this passage are falling angels and that these fallen angels had relations with human women that bore children from these relationships. Here is my problem first of all Jesus Himself said angels are sexless beings in Matthew 22:29-30. Another problem I have with this is if in fact fallen angels and human women had children where would they fall in the plan of redemption. Would this not be a new ontological creation? Any help with this will be recieved thankfully. In The Love Of Christ, tgc |

29 | Explanation of Genesis 6:1-6 | Genesis | tgc | 127896 | ||
Steve I post this under your note hoping Mark will also pick up on it. Scratch your heads with on this please. All the way through scripture when we find the Bible speaking of the fallen angels or demons the term spirit is used in regards to them an example of such passages would be Lev.19:31, Lev.20:6, Deut.18:11, Mk. 3:11, Lk.4:36. So what is my point with this just follow me for a moment. If we look at Hebrews 1:7 It tells us that God's Angels are ministering Spirits. I also can not find one clearly documented case in the Bible of a demon or fallen angel taking on human form possessing an unsaved person yes but not taking on human form of it's own will. So if angels are spirit and fallen angels must be spirits how can they take on human form when in Luke 24:38 Christ offers this statement as proof of His resurrection" And He said to them, "Why are you troubled? And why do you doubt arise in your heart? Behold My hands and My feet that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and blood as you see I have." So Christ offers as proof of His resurrection the fact that He has flesh and blood and spirits do not. So it would seem to me that if we argue that spirits can make babies with women then are we arguing against the very evidence that Christ offered for His ressurection? All of this said I know ther are Bilical accounts of Angels of God appearing in human form and the only way I can think to reconcille this is the fact that God as Creator and The All Powerful One can grant this to His angels when it is within His plan however Satan not being all powerful and not having the power of creation can not offer this to his fallen angels. Any thoughts please? |

Bro. Hank, Ireally do not belive that DBR is going to answer you. I have been doing a little research into some of the names he is throwing around as reference and they seem to link to the prederist school of thought which as you well know is quite popular with the JWs. Since they continually miss there prophecies and now claim that Jesus is here with an invisible presents. It should also be noted that JWs are told it is ok to lie or be evasive about who they are if it is in the best interest of spreading their hersy. In The Love Of Christ, tgc |

38 | The Sovereignty of God | Ps 103:19 | tgc | 124774 | ||
kalos, I reallt thought you where above cheap personal shots like the one you made in your last post however if that is your way so be it. First of all the fact that God is a perfect gentelman can be backed with scripture. Consider for a moment the Garden of Eden Adam and Eve had a choice and choose to disobey according to the logic in your arguement this was planned and carried out by God and they had nothing to do with it. I am sure you can see the flaw in this reason. When God came into the Garden He called out to Adam He did not go straight ot him He waited for Adam to come to Him again a choose Adam made. Concerning Paul did God interven in his life YES Did God force him to carry out the ministry that became Paul's life no. Paul chose to submit his will to that of God's. The same arguement can be made with the calling of each of the aposles, they all had a choice. As to Nebuchadnezzar yes God intervened in his life but He did not force salvation on him that would have been his choice. I relize you come from a calvenist standpoint which smacks of legalism check out Calvin's list of dos and don'ts sometime. Remember not everyone is a tulip picker some of us many of us except the clear teaching of scripture as to the freewill choice of men in connection to God. It should also be noted that freewill in no way takes away from God's sovereignty as a matter of fact I think it highlights it. But of course this comes from one you see as being unskilled and sloppy. In The Love Of Christ, tgc | ||||||
39 | The Sovereignty of God | Ps 103:19 | tgc | 124785 | ||
Bro. Hank, I really tried to tone down my first reply to this question but with some of the new post I think it is time to go a bit deeper. Concerning the sovereignty of God it seems to me from talking to young pastor who are just coming out of school that even in our seminaries this ideal is put down. The students are taught not to do or say anything that could upset the applecart and to label as deviseive anyone who does teach such a doctrine. You see that today what passes for Christan teaching is little more than guilt relief. Do not talk about sin do not talk about hell do not talk about personal responsiblity just concentrate on what makes people go home and feel good. Yes the Word Faith Movement is a major problem eroding the church from within but a bigger problem is the fact the gospel for the most part has been changed or silenced in most of today's churches.. The gospel today is that God will make you have a wonderful life take awy all of your problems and all you have to do one time is just say I am a sinner and I am sorry nothing elese. Directly in opposition to what Christ Himself taught. He said count the cost there would be persecution there would be hard times the world would hate us even as it hated Him, look at our fellow brothers and sisters in other countries who are giving up their lives for the sake of the gospel see how much of this easy beliveism garbage you can feed them. God is sovereign He is in control He did say this day would come remember the church at Ladodicea, this does not take Him by suprise. And yes ther is still a faithfull remenant you have named a few of the men who stand in the gap and proclaim the Word of Truth To this list I would add Bro. Alan Barganier and the late J. Veron McGee whoes tapes are still heard daily on many radio stations. In closing let us remember this that Jesus Christ is the King Of Kings and The LordOf Lords He is the First and the Last He started this and He will finish it let us all look foward to that great day when God's sovereignty will be made manifest to all and every knee will bow and every tounge confess Jesus Christ as Lord. In The Love Of Christ, tgc | ||||||

justme, I did not intend to group all seminaries into one catagory what I was commenting on is that unforunately it seems many have gone down the path to liberialism. As I am back in school myself I see this first hand with some of the professors I speak with. Yes I agree ther are still some very good seminaries out there Some I can think of are Masters in California Northwest Baptist, just to name a couple. However let me note that there are other options than trditional seminary with places such as Stephen Olford's Center for Expository Preaching a great learning experience if you ever have the chance. again I am not speaking in total aginst seminaries but rather stateing what I am seeing the in the field and brother it is scary.
