21 | My apology to the forum | Not Specified | EdB | 145776 | ||
To the Forum Please let me apologize that I filled the forum with 10 posts saying the same thing. I deeply regret I needed to do that but it seems one of the forum members has decided to point to excerpts from the forum in his Web site. Since his web site is promoting his for pay services I view this taking my comments which were given without cost and using them a means to profit from them. I hope the point is made and I don't have to go into the rest of the threads and post a disclaimer. Again I apologize for even involving the forum in this but I felt I had to post the disclaimers in the threads that I was involved in. I hope you all understand my indignation of someone using my comments given here to help others being used then by someone else that charges for his services. Again I ask for you understanding and forbearance. EdB |

22 | Congratulations Searcher56 | Not Specified | EdB | 146339 | ||
Congratulations Searcher56. Searcher56 has just passed the 7000 mark and is the highest contributor to the forum. I think what needs to be NOTED here is the fact that more than half of his contributions has been answering questions. To me this shows his interest in helping people find the right answer rather than pontificating and going “tit for tat” in endless debates. My hat is off to you! I wish my stats revealed I spent more time answering questions than responding to debate. EdB |

23 | denominations. | Not Specified | EdB | 148718 | ||
How do we justify denominations in light of John 17:20-23 (NKJV) 20 "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. Which in effect is calling for unity and says the world will know Jesus is authentic by the unity it sees in the believers. Then we move to 1 Corinthians 1:13 (NKJV) 13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 1 Corinthians 12:25 (NKJV) 25 that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. |

25 | Why did Jonah need to go to Nineveh? | Not Specified | EdB | 232802 | ||
With the present atmosphere here on the forum this might not be a subject we can freely discuss however never being one known for shyness I bring it up. In light of Romans 1:18-32 why was in so important for Jonah to go to Nineveh? Many have the understanding of Romans 1:18-32 to be saying that nature testifies of God to point that no one has an excuse not to worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. If nature testifies of God to the point they are without excuse then why did God chasten Jonah for his lack of compassion on the people of Nineveh by refusing to go to Nineveh to preach God and His judgment to them? |

26 | Romans in the light of Jonah does it say | Not Specified | EdB | 232810 | ||
When the question is asked, "What about people that never heard of Jesus?" Many using an understanding of Romans 1:18-32 say nature attests to God therefore those people are without excuse. The question then becomes if that understanding of Romans 1:18-32 is correct why did God go to such extremes, as seen in the Book of Jonah to send Jonah, to Nineveh to tell them of God? Also we see in the Book of Jonah that God chastened Jonah for his lack of compassion toward the people of Nineveh because Jonah wanted to withhold from them the truth of God. I wonder if the understanding that nature somehow attests to God so that any lack of knowledge of Jesus Christ is without excuse is perhaps wrong. It is very possible to know God but not to be saved or not to follow after God. The Book of James 2:19 tells us the Demons believe and actually shudder in fear of God but that does not save them. I think Romans 1:18-32 perhaps becomes an over simplified answer to a question that when we hold it to the light of all of scripture, it just may be one we really don't know the answer to. |

27 | when was the devil kick out of heaven | Bible general | EdB | 239550 | ||
He has been. To be an accuser of the saints he still has to have access to heaven does he not? Revelation 12:9-11 (NASB) 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night. 11 "And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death. |

Obviously a homework question, something assigned to you to help you grow in the Lord. Also you didn't provide us enough information that would enable us to fill in the blanks. Like what are you to be studying or what Book of the Bible are you now in. |

29 | Ecumenical Movement Avoid or Not? | Bible general | EdB | 239709 | ||
I don't know what the Pope or this Bishop was saying When they say the Reformation is over. I would assume they meant the reformation that was started in the Catholic church during the Reformation is over. In any case there is still the divide between Protestantism and Catholicism. But even that divide is changing as we see many crossing from Protestant to Catholic and Catholic to Protestant. There still remains definite differences in doctrine that some on both sides of the issue zero in on like drawing a line in the sand refuse to consider the other side of the issue. Jesus' prayer for the church was for the body of Christ to be in unity. So I believe God favors any attempt to reconcile the differences that now separate. |

30 | Ecumenical Movement Avoid or Not? | Bible general | EdB | 239731 | ||
Yes we must guard against deception but I am always reminded of Jesus' prayer John 17:21 (NASB) 21 that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. It seems we spend more time making sure our doctrine is not offended, not ignored and less time about being one in the body of Christ. Does this mean we compromise our doctrine? I don't think so but it also does not relieve us from trying to find solution for our division. Was it God's intent to reform the church? Yes I think it was. But no one ever claimed it was God's guidance to divide the church. That was man's solution when man determined God was able to correct the very thing scripture tells us Christ is the head of. |

31 | Ecumenical Movement Avoid or Not? | Bible general | EdB | 239732 | ||
John 17:21 (NASB) 21 that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. That said I think we have to realize some of our views of the Catholics is almost the same view that many Catholics have of Protestants. For better or for worst the Catholic church protected, preserved and promoted Christianity for 1500 years. Now while we can criticize their doctrine it does little good to stand outside and say they are wrong. The only way error will be corrected is if it is realized. What we need to do it try to establish dialogue so error can be discussed and hopefully corrected. When we stop talking and start pointing nothing is accomplished. I don't know what this so called Ecumenical Movement that this Bishop and others addressed is but responding to it as you are all wrong and destined for hell will not help. |

32 | NASV translation accuracy | Bible general | EdB | 239733 | ||
Check out drwile.com and search for Logsdon or Lockman. A blog there includes a response identified as being from Lockman Foundation detailing Frank Logsdon’s involvement with the NASB Here is the supposed response from Lockman. The Board of Directors of The Lockman Foundation launched the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE translation work in the late 1950’s following the completion of the AMPLIFIED NEW TESTAMENT. Dr. S. Franklin Logsdon was acquainted with Dewey Lockman, president of The Lockman Foundation, prior to Mr. Lockman’s death in 1974. Mr. Logsdon was never a member of the Board of Directors, nor was he an employee of The Lockman Foundation. Mr. Logsdon had no authority to hire employees or translators for the Foundation, to set policy, to vote, to hold office, to incur expenses, etc. He cannot be considered cofounder of the NASB, nor part of The Lockman Foundation, nor part of the NASB translation team, nor did he write the forward of the NASB. According to our records, he was present at board meetings on two occasions, once to hear a travel report; and once to deliver an inspirational thought. Mr. Logsdon last wrote to Mr. Lockman in fall of 1973 that he was moving to Florida. Mr. Lockman replied that he was surprised and saddened by his decision to leave the area. Mr. Lockman passed away in January of 1974, and no further correspondence was exchanged between Frank Logsdon and The Lockman Foundation. He resided in Florida until his passing some years ago. |

Actually I know what the Ecumenical Movement is I just didn't know about this Bishop and Copeland Meeting. I just saw a brief Youtube video of it. I'm not a fan of the Reformation especially the results. That said the Church of Rome did need to be reformed but I think political aspirations came into play way stronger than they should have. Enough said on that point. The point I was trying to make is I believe the will of God is for the Body of Christ to be one. Right now we have 3000 plus denominations some pointing their finger at each other saying every one is dead wrong but us. And we have Hatred between the Catholics and Protestants. Unity will never be accomplished if people refuse to talk and seek understanding between them. If everyone instead points their fingers and say you are all wrong and on your way to hell I don't think there will ever be a unified Body of Christ. |

I think there are three groups talked about here. Believers, Non Believers and Believers that because they were taught by particular Apostle think they are better than the others. Jesus prayed for unity for Believers. Jesus also knows believers would never find unity in this world. Luke 12:51 passage you mentioned. Jesus was concerned of the very thing Paul ran into where one group instead of be followers of Christ were followers of Apollo and other followers of Paul 1 Corinthians 1:12-13 (NKJV) 12 Now I say this, that each of you says, "I am of Paul," or "I am of Apollos," or "I am of Cephas," or "I am of Christ." 13 Is Christ divided? ... Dividing the Body of Christ is the problem not trying to find unity with unbelievers or not true Christians. What we have to do is sit down and talk to understand the other. We all have ideas, perceptions, war stories, second hand info, and in some case real hurts. We need fact which only comes from honest dialogue. Discussion and talk brings understanding, compassion and mercy. |

37 | Difference between petition and request | Bible general | EdB | 239908 | ||
These two words are basically interchangeable by raw definition. However a request could be seen as a pleading or asking. Tom requested he be forgiven. Where a petition is a more formal request. Tom petitioned the courts for his release. |

38 | belief in hell? | Bible general | EdB | 240069 | ||
Since an eternal hell or damnation is woven all through scripture how do you propose to eliminate it as established fact of Scripture? To remove any mention or to ignore the mention of an eternal Hell or damnation would require you to alter scripture and scripture itself speaks against that. To answer your question it would be impossible for a Christian to not believe in an eternal hell or damnation. |

39 | belief in hell? | Bible general | EdB | 240089 | ||
It does bother folks that is why most Christians try to get other people saved. I believe some of the most accomplished "soul winners" are those that have internalized the realities of hell. We are not given the option of simply saying we don't believe in this or that. We are told we must rightly divide scripture.2 Tim 2:15 Which means to handle the Word of God correctly or in a straight forward manner. We are not given the luxury of being able to ignore or remove the sections that don't appeal to us. Too many claim today to be Christians but only believe the parts of Christianity that they want to believe. Some have even made their own God by taking the attributes of God they like and keeping them and discarding the parts they don't like. What they end up with in not God of Creation the God of Abraham Issac and Jacob at all but a god created by them. A false god. Hell is a reality. Jesus spoke of it often. It is woven throughout scripture. How can we say we believe Jesus just not the parts we don't agree with? It is all or nothing. |

40 | how many books excluded? | Bible general | EdB | 240206 | ||
Every book that isn't in it. That might appear to be a wise guy answer but it is the truth. The cannon of the Old and New Testament insured that only authentic and inspired were included. There are many books which could not be authenticated or were not considered inspired at the time the cannon was formed that were not included in the cannon. If you want a list of books that were thought to have some merit but weren't considered inspired look at the Apocrypha or Deuterocanonical books. As of late there are many books that try to lay claim to being lost books of the Bible. But none of them can be authenticated nor are the considered inspired of God. |
