Dear ssong, While I can empathize with your frustrations, the SBF is not geared toward dealing with political battles, righting social wrongs, etc. it's focus is the study and proclamation of Biblical truth. If we could right all the wrongs and injustices, we'd still be faced with the consequences of our sin (Rom. 6:23). Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello New Creature, My question would be "antiquated" compared to which Forums and in what ways? Could you provide some input in your experience with others in contrast to the SBF? Also, You might contact Lockman and give them your input so that they can strive to make continual improvements:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Steeno, Welcome to the Forum. My observation is your comments are a bit lacking in context, but I'm in no way doubting your sincerity. As a suggestion, you may get further if you took time to establish the "why and where" you're coming from- scripturally. In other words, lay out your argument and reasoning with support from scripture. With that in place, there might be a better foundation upon which to have a more fruitful discussion. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Steeno, Brother, I'm not able to follow your line of reasoning based on the extremely brief replies you're providing?! Can you explain what you mean by, "we are talking about the whole Bible here"? I'm not asking that you recite the entire Bible! I'm also not trying to pull teeth, but your last response is completely lacking context. Simply quoting Heb. 10:29 hardly answers the question! Would you be able to clearly elucidate and explain your postion/view on forgiveness giving some examples of scripture? Are you able to do so? I understand the finality of the cross and the fact that we are forgiven in Christ. However, if we are to understand what you're saying and arrive at any meaningful dialog, you'll have to help us out:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Steeno: Thank you for trying to clarify. My friend, I'm not necesarily challenging what you're saying, I'm simply trying to get you to cite the specific scriptures and build a logical, well-reasoned case from them... but as I said, I'm not trying to pull teeth:-) Eph 1:7- "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace" (NASB) Col 2:13 - "When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions," Col 3:13- "bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you."

Hello Doc, Welcome to the Forum. Unfortunately, the Forum will not accept true Hebrew or Greek letters. If you can transliterate to the English spelling of either, it will work. As an FYI, it might be beneficial to gear any response to a more general audience. Otherwise not all will be able to follow. For instance, I can read Greek fairly well, but am not completely fluent in it. I do not read any Hebrew. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

32 | PRESERVATION is it true? | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 199377 | ||
Hello budderfligh, I respect your sincere apology. No need to on my behalf though as I wasn't offended:-) It's unfortunate that those under the age cannot participate, because it's wonderful to see the eagerness and desire to learn. It is simply because it is a Term of Use as designated by our sponsor, Lockman. However, as noticed recently, there are occasionally some sensitive topics that can require much wisdom and life experience to deal with graciously. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

33 | Tramsfiguration Jesus have return 2 Heav | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 200251 | ||
Hi Velda, That's an interesting question. The passage in Matthew doesn't say- or infer- directly that He could have returned to heaven. It may be because He radiated the glory of God - "His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light" (17:1). Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

35 | "Divinely Inspired"? | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 201007 | ||
Hello rb8, Thanks for the clarification. Yes, most translations will have a footnote regarding John. 7:53- 8;11. The ESV says, “The earliest manuscripts do not include in John.” There are varying views on the inclusion of this passage. The late AT Robertson, a noted NT Greek scholar states: “This verse and through 8:12 (the passage concerning the woman taken in adultery) is certainly not a genuine part of John’s Gospel. The oldest and best MSS. (Aleph A B C L W) do not have it. It first appears in Codex Bezae. Some MSS. put it at the close of John’s Gospel and some place it in Luke. It is probably a true story for it is like Jesus, but it does not belong to John’s Gospel. The Canterbury Version on which we are commenting puts the passage in brackets. Westcott and Hort place it at the end of the Gospel.” [Word Pictures in the New Testament] Zane Hodges of Dallas Theological Seminary offers that, “Despite a strong scholarly consensus that would exclude it from the text of John’s Gospel, the story’s own inherent power and its unmistakable ring of truth remain unimpaired. Like the rest of Scripture, it yields substantial spiritual benefit to those who study it with a genuine respect for its integrity and divine authority.” He goes on to add that, “In that study it was concluded that the evidence which favors its omission from John’s Gospel is far from conclusive. The fact remains, however, that a very large majority of the surviving Greek manuscripts of John’s Gospel contain the story precisely where it has been traditionally found in the English Bible—namely, after John 7:52. The simplest and most satisfying explanation of this phenomenon is that the narrative has had a long transmissional history and that, indeed, it is likely to have always been found in a majority of the extant Greek texts of every period stretching back to the date of the autograph itself. In the exposition to follow, it will be pointed out from time to time that the story about the adulteress also bears significant marks of Johannine authorship. Accordingly it will be treated here as an integral and authentic portion of the Fourth Gospel.”[ Bibliotheca Sacra : A quarterly published by Dallas Theological Seminary. 1996, (47). Dallas TX: Dallas Theological Seminary.] I hope this helps, BradK |

37 | How do I forgive adultry if it continues | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 202153 | ||
Hello TJS, Maybe I'm not understanding your question as you intend it? Your statement is very broad. Can you be more specific as to exactly how "churches put too little effort into recognition of sin"? Sin has been around since Adam, so I'm not sure that it is only now, "commonplace". I sin every week and attend church on most Sundays. However, I'm also not living my life to "see what I can get away with" (Gal. 5:16). Going to church does not cleanse one of sin. 1 John 2:1-2 tells that: " My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world." Also, I'd be concerned that you're not advocating a very legalistic approach to this dilemma. Can you explain how sin and evil are rooted out? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

38 | How do I forgive adultry if it continues | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 202177 | ||
Hello TJS, I'm not sure how you define "coming into the light" Biblically? The goal of the Christian life is not to stop sinning! Rather, it is to get to know my Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ (Phil 3:10). I referred earlier to Gal. 5:16 as it instructs us to "walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh". Notice, it doesn't say 'clean up your life and you'll be spiritual", or "stop sinning". Paul also tells us in Rom. 14:23 that, "...whatever is not from faith is sin". How many times do we not operate by faith? That alone should be enough to convince one of the futility in trying to keep short accounts with God. Yes, unfortunately, I do do the things I don't want to do- more often than I'd like to admit! Again, Paul addresses this issue in Rom. 7. Particularly note verses 18-20: "For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me." (NASB) These are in the present tense- assumedly describing his current condition as a saved person. Note his culmination in vs. 25: "Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord" (NASB). Our only victory over sin is in the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ! We constantly struggle with sin (note Gal. 5:17). Biblically, we are forgiven of all our sins- Col. 2:13, "When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions" (NASB) Now, my motivation is BECAUSE of His grace! Titus 2:11-12 states, "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age," (NASB) NOTHING I do in the flesh will please Him! (Rom. 8:8, Gal. 5:4, 1 Cor. 15:56) Have you trusted the Lord as your Savior? That is the major issue to resolve:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

40 | Was Jesus in the America's/India? | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 202357 | ||
Hello Terry, Unfortunately, the Mormon Church- try as it might through PR- is not Orthodox Christian. While the Book of Mormon may claim to be another revelation of Jesus Christ, it is not. The late Dr. Walter Martin, writing in Kingdom of the Cults, states that, "It purports to be a history of two ancient civilizations which were located on the American continent". There is both scientific and Archological evidence against these claims. Ultimately, it fails on 2 major fronts: It is not Divinely Inspired and it contradicts the Bible. Rather, it is merely the fabled conjurings of Joseph Smith. "Mass Conciousness" is also foreign to Biblical Theology! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
