221 | Did Jesus chat? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 230276 | ||
Hello JoReba, Welcome to the Forum. I have to ask, with all due respect what leads you to ask this question? I will offer this. Keep in mind scripture is a "summary" of what Jesus, and his disciples said. Speaking about inspiration, Dr. David Wells says, "... the Holy Spirit was able to work through the individuality of the author in such a way that what the author intended to convey and did convey corresponds exactly to what God wanted to convey." There is no directive in scripture aginst chat per se. Rather, we are implored in Col. 4:6 to, "Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person."

225 | Is Belief in the Trinity Required? | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 230219 | ||
Beja and Forum: And may I add these words of wisdom. "Augustine rightly insists that all trinitarian theology must arise from a heart and mind trained in humility. Trinitarian reflection can only blossom in a person who realizes the enormity of what is being attempted and our place before God. Humans can only safely speak of God from their knees. Augustine urges us to “remember who we are, and of Whom we speak. Let this and that, or whatever appertains to the nature of God, be with a pious faith embraced, with a holy respect entertained… . For it is not of such a nature as it can ascend into the heart of man; but the heart of man must itself ascend to it.” How, in fact, can human beings adequately speak of God? The subject is too high. “For if you have been able to comprehend what you would say, it is not God; if you have been able to comprehend it, you have comprehended something else instead of God. If you have been able to comprehend Him as you think, by so thinking you have deceived yourself.” [Olson, R. E., and Hall, C. A. (2002). The Trinity. Guides to theology (47–48).

227 | When does regeneration take place ? | 1 Pet 3:20 | BradK | 230136 | ||
Hello Brett, Welcome to the Forum. If I may comment on a statement you made:-) 1 Peter 3:20-21 is one of the most difficult- and debateable -passages in the NT. It's exact meaning is anything but clear. So we must take care in attempting to determine it's intended meaning and thereby making doctrine of it. You said, "It tells us that the water symbolizes BAPTISM and saves us just like the water saved Noah and his family." Actually that is not what the passage in the NASB says. It says they, "...were brought safely through the water". The water saved no one. In actuality, those who were "baptized" were drowned, i.e. they died! The better question might be, 'to what baptism do you refer'? Are yoou speaking to (or about) "water" or "spiritual"? From my study I don't believe the Pauline passages are dealing with water, but instead refer to the spiritual- which is how we are actually brought into union with Christ.

Hello John, Proselytizing, unfortunately takes place from time to time here on the SBF as it's a public forum. This is mainly done by the cults, i.e JW's and Mormons. As a newer user you may not be familiar with the About Forum and the Terms of Use. If you're not, I encourage you to read them and familiarize yourself with them. This will help you to get a better understanding of this Forum, it's purpose and the rules as set forth by our host, Lockman.

232 | Does God hate the devil? | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 230055 | ||
Hello Huldah, I'd agree with brother Beja! While one of God's attributes is indeed love, he's not JUST love! As A.W. Pink notes, we must remember, "There are many today who talk about the love of God, who are total strangers to the God of love. The Divine love is commonly regarded as a species of amiable weakness, a sort of good-natured indulgence; it is reduced to a mere sickly sentiment, patterned after human emotion. Now the truth is that on this, as on everything else, our thoughts need to be formed and regulated by what is revealed thereon in Holy Scripture." Wrath is also one of God's attributes. Pink notes on this, "Now the wrath of God is as much a Divine perfection as is His faithfulness, power, or mercy. It must be so, for there is no blemish whatever, not the slightest defect in the character of God; yet there would be if "wrath" were absent from Him! The wrath of God is His eternal detestation of all unrighteousness. It is the displeasure and indignation of Divine equity against evil. It is the holiness of God stirred into activity against sin. That Divine wrath is one of the perfections of God is not only evident from the considerations presented above, but is also clearly established by the express declarations of His own Word. "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven" (Rom. 1:18)." [A.W. Pink The Atributes of God] Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

234 | Scriptures that address self sufficiency | 2 Cor 3:5 | BradK | 230025 | ||
Hello Dennis, I know of nothing in scripture that addresses "self-sufficiency" positively! In other words, scripture speaks to the futility of us having any sufficiency in and of ourselves!. You might try checking a concordance and look up "Sufficient" or, "Sufficiency". Consider these scriptures: Prov 3:5 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding." Prov 3:6 "In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight." 2 Cor 3:5 "Not that we are adequate (sufficient) in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy (sufficiency) is from God," (NASB) 2 Cor 9:8 "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed;" (NASB) God is the ultimate source of our meaning, purpose, and sufficiency. I hope this is of some help, BradK |

238 | bible reference to the trinity | 2 Cor 13:14 | BradK | 229966 | ||
Hello jawebster, The exact term "trinity" is not found in scripture. However the doctrine is clearly taught that God is One (Deut. 6:4) yet exists in three separate Persons. Jesus is clearly referred to as God in John 20:28, where Thomas exclaims, "My Lord and my God!" (NASB) The Holy Spirit is referred to as God in Acts 5:3-4, "But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land? While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God." Also, 2 Cor. 13:14 closes with "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all." Much, much more could be said, but my time is short. I hope this helps, BradK |

Hello rbarrow, It would be helpful if you wouldn't make so many assumptions, my friand. I wasn't aware I went from blasphemy to unbelief? Not to be difficult, but you didn't answer my question. Is there or is there not an "unpardonable sin"? I'm simply seeking you to clarify so I can better understand what you're saying:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
