21 | Have you ever read a book by a Catholic? | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 131536 | ||
I see no connection between John 20:22-23 and any of my questions. I have no doubt that even the Catholics haven't anyone amoung them whom Jesus breathed on at the time this scripture reflects. Can you be a little more specific? All who are saved have recieved the Holy Spirit. Acts Chapter 2. Dear soul, are you a devout Catholic? If so, can you not answer my simple questions? Thanks for trying. GB |

THE True Church? Catholic?!?! Would THE True Church not be the Church founded by the Apostles? Was that Church Catholic, Protestant or Jewish? I doubt that it was either. It was CHRISTian. Christ centered. I would attest that whatever the Church, be it Catholic, Protestant, Jewish or Full Gospel, if Christ is its foundation, then it is THE true Church. What I fail to understand is why this simple fact is not understood by all. In this day of apostasy, false prophesy and false teachers, it is apparent that it is not the true Church, which is in question. The question should concern the sincerity and familiarity with THE WORD of those who profess. Isn’t the Church a collective body of Christians, or of those who profess to believe in Christ, and acknowledge him to be the Savior of mankind? Aren’t the professors (those who profess to be Christians) the Church? I would put all in mind of what Christ stated in John 15:5 “I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” And what Paul said in 1Co 12:11-12 But the one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing separately to each one as He desires. For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. The phrase “THE true Church”, formulates the following picture in my mind. I can see my foot saying to my ear, “I am THE true member of this body.” If one would ask, which is “THE true collective body of Christian?” I expect there would be just as much debate on the matter. Can we not ALL simply come together and “know them by the fruits they bare”? GB |

OK. Thanks for the additional enlightenment. James 5:16 makes it much clearer. You have most definantly sparked a topic of research for me concerning John 20:23. Though I have read it many times, I have never fully understood it. It is time for that understanding on my part. I'm still curious concerning the praying to the saints though. GB |

The tone indicated in your note dear friend, causes me to loose all interest in discussing the matter with you. Such a tone automatically puts me in mind of 2 Ti 2:24. Your tone is quite contrary to that passage. It invites what we are told we "MUST NOT DO." God Bless GB |

I take no offence. I would recommend a good book though. "While Men Slept" by Kerby F Fannin, PD.D. It gives a good history of the origin of various denominations, including the Catholic and their shenanigans, as well as those of many other denominations. Personally I feel sorry for the countless hoards who are either too illiterate or downright lazy, to get into the Word for themselves. This covers ALL denominations, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and on and on... What I do take offence at, are the professed Christians who, anyone who has ever studied scripture can see straight through. It is absolutely amazing how many will follow them. I guess it's a matter of charisma. It is sad though, that people don't realize that the enemy is often filled to overflowing with such. Thank you my friend. Weary and frustrated as we may become in this battle, we must not give up. For He who is in us is stronger and mightier than he who is in the world. Without Him, we are nothing. We can do nothing. So what does that say about those we battle? God Bless GB |

28 | Peacemakers and Politics? | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 134058 | ||
The candidate I am sure you refer to as not being a peace maker, is doing the same thing you would do if someone who would not listen to reason were killing children elsewhere and trying to kill your children. I am sure you would fight for their lives to your last drop of blood. Wouldn't you? What is the difference? On the other hand, the other candidate who pretends to be a peace maker, advocates murder in the form of abortion, as well as the abomination of same sex marriage. If you were to vote for one who advocates such, you would be just as guilty as is the doctor who sucks the cranial matter (brains) out of the tiny, partially born, helpless, unwanted, infant, or the so called preacher who claims to unite two men or two women in the bonds of what can only be refered to as "unholy" matrimony.

29 | What is an acceptiable "Biblical questn? | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 134066 | ||
What is an acceptiable "Biblical question?" Why can a "Biblical question" not be asked concerning politics? This sounds very much like the opposite end of another question concerning Church and state. Carefull with your answers, please. I know this is not a political forum. This is the very reason I participate herein, I hope to see biblical, not worldly answers. Are not the professors herein strong enough in the Word to give biblical answers concerning political questions without quarreling? There are many people who have sincere questions concerning biblical principles where politics are concerned. Questions which should be answered in such a forum. Were there a Christian Political forum, perhaps such would be better, but I know of none, so does this relieve us of our responsibilities as Christians concerning political questions? Or are we scaired that the true nature of some will surface and they may be seen in a different light? Scripture states that we should know our brethren. Not that we should knopw them except for their political views. Or do we in this forum, not wish to know one another this deep? Politics are nasty. We live in a nasty world. We are not to be conformed to this nasty world. But does this mean that just because we are Christians, we are not to vote, or share our questions and Gods Word concerning such? Or are we simply not to do this in the "Study Bible Forum?" Sincerely in Christ GB |

In not so many words, this is just what I am saying, Tim. I see people on this board being reprimanded for attempting to open political issues, when those issues should be discussed in a biblical manor. It appears to me that the many herein who profess scriptural learning, are sidesteping a very important issue. GB |

"As Christians we should not be interested in politics during the pre-election month and a half... " I beg to differ! Though I personally tend to adhere to your thought, I do not feel that, as you state "As Christians we should not be interested in politics during the pre-election month and a half..." This is a matter of personal choice. I do agree though that "we should be involved every day of every year seeking to inform (those who are actively involved) other Christians of the activities of the political parties, and seeking to learn about the people representing America (those who are not politically active), those who eventually dictate the rule of the government." It is not only our DUTY to inform others. We are commanded to do so. GB |

I suspect the answer to your question would depend heavily on which version of the Bible one uses. Though only a few are truly inspired, there are many. too many. GB |

Why is it Hank, that I sense hostility in your words? Personally I am lead by the Holy Spirit concerning the Word. Anyone who is sincere concerning their study, and adheres to 2 Timothy 2:15 can discern the difference. I think you know this as well as I do. Do you make the claim that ALL translations are equal? I stated in my profile, “I use the KJV, NIV and Interlinear Hebrew, Greek and English Versions of scripture. My Electronic References are provided by eSword, which in my opinion is to scripture what Windows is to the computer…” I also stated that some translations are no more than tools of the enemy. Do you profess that a child of God can not discern such, Hank? I neglected to say that, included in my “electronic references” are dozens of Various Scriptural Translations. I made no statement as to which TRANSLATION of the Scriptures I considered not to be inspired, and Hank, frankly I resent your implication and tone. I do not depend solely on mans knowledge. Neither should anyone who desires to know the truth concerning the Word. I reiterate the first statement in my profile. “I believe in the Word as "a whole" without the leaven of man. If I offend you, Hank, I am sorry, but don’t expect me to change just because you think I should. Isn’t this like the foot telling the hand how it should act? I believe it was J. Vernon Magee who made the statement. “ You can graze on the pastures of others, but give your own milk. I say that, for those who don’t like fresh white milk; to each his own. Though I do like biscuits made from it, I don’t like buttermilk. Hank, when you see or hear me state which TRANSLATIONS of the Scriptures are not inspired, you will see me provide enough scriptural proof to convince even yourself, that is if you actually possess the discernment I credit you for.

As I previously stated Hank, “I resent the tone” in which you originally asked your questions. Considering the tone of your response, it is apparent that I did not misread your original tone. And considering the fact that I have reciently rebuked you, I strongly suspect you are one who holds a grudge and cannot accept constructive criticism. Under more friendly circumstances, I would be more than happy to answer your questions in more detail than I did in my last note. (Re-read it Hank, You will see that I did answer your question, in my 1st paragraph. If you do not agree with my answer, then perhaps I have given you more credit than deserved.) Or, are you a Scientologist who insists on physical proof? I have no intention of quarreling with you dear brother, nor do I have any inclination to answer to you. This conversation is closed. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you dear brother. GB |

"Personally I am lead by the Holy Spirit concerning the Word. Anyone who is sincere concerning their study, and adheres to 2 Timothy 2:15 can discern the difference." No more than one can "prove" the absolute truths therein; none can prove their version inspired. "Seek and ye shall find." I have found, as I stated, that the NIV and KJV are INSPIRED TRANSLATIONS. I have also found, as stated, that there are some "so called" translations, which are no more than tools of the enemy. Why this statement seems to have enraged some, is beyond me. Perhaps they have not taken the interest in scrutinizing their translation, as I have mine. Though I have studied scripture for over 30 yrs, I am not a scholar, nor did I document the many paths and countless hours, weeks, months and years it took me to reach my conclusion. Thus, the best I can tell you BradK, is that if you too will diligently seek what scripture promises, you too will receive what scripture promises. But you must first adhere to 2 Timothy 2:15. Strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. To develop Spiritual discernment, one must first: Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 2Ti 2:15 – 16 GB |

Call it what you will Hank. Scripture labels it "adherence." I should think that you would remember what you quote so often. The TOS. Dear brother, have you never read 2Ti 2:16, “But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.” Or is it your desire to quarrel with me? Is it your desire to reveal that which you have only partially concealed in your notes concerning this subject? GB |

39 | Question for Glory Bound | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 134418 | ||
I have already answered this question. As to those who CAN NOT, or WILL NOT understand and adhere to THE WORD; It is understandable that they will not understand my words. Once again Hank. This discussion is closed between you and me. I beg you not to carry it on. GB |

Most lean solely on their knowledge, and that of others. I am not saying this is wrong, but I can't help but to think what scripture says concerning mans wisdom and learning. I agree with you concerning the Living Bible, and your distaste for Zondervan, but if you will note, I have not mentioned a single version, which I consider unworthy. Though at least one person in this forum would have it otherwise, I have no intention of opening such a can of worms concerning this matter. I use the NIV, copywrited 1984. I do not care for Zondervan either, nor their other versions. As stated in my profile, I also use the KJV and Interlinear Hebrew, Greek and English Versions of scripture, along with various other versions, commentaries and such. My soul dependency concerning the Word though, is the Holy Spirit, faith, discernment, adherence to scripture, and other numerous gifts available to those who would just, shut their mouth, and open their heart to them. It is a fact that someone can and will find something wrong with whatever version anyone uses. To those who can see, it is also a fact that, this is another ploy of Satan, and that if, as I have stated previously, one is sincere and adheres to 2 Timothy 2:15, they will develop a spiritual discernment that appears to be non existent with anyone I have thus far discussed this topic with on this forum. Satan knows he can’t add to or take from scripture. He has tried that and failed many times. The multitude of various new “versions” is his latest ploy. Personally, I would recommend that anyone who understands 16th century English proficiently, stick to the KJV. I don’t. When I determined to learn scripture, I didn’t even know that there was anything other than the KJV. I told the Lord, “Surely there is something out there that I can understand better than KJ.” He showed me the NIV right after it was published in its entirety in the 70’s. I have scrutinized the NIV; and in doing so, through comparison to the best and most available of the “translated scrolls,” which I have been able to acquire, found many discrepancies in the KJV. Neither are perfect. Neither are perfect. Neither are perfect. Nor am I, yet. But I am well on my way to perfection, and thank God, I am Glory Bound! Unfortunately, there just aren’t enough originals to go around where scripture is concerned. I have no doubt that our Lord has considered this fact. One has to exercise a thing called faith, in the matter. It is those who doubt that I am concerned with. I would assert that it is those who profess, yet doubt, that should be concerned the most. Such a topic can easily dissuade the babes in Christ. It is apparent that meat of this word chokes many who profess to be more mature. As for those who have a problem in digesting what I say, I would suggest they go back to the milk of scripture. IF, of course, they can find faith enough to believe in whatever version they would choose. As I have stated, I am confident that the Word in which I trust, is inspired. I’d be as miserable as some appear, who wish to argue the matter with me, if I weren’t. God Bless GB |
