221 | Romans in the light of Jonah does it say | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 232834 | ||
Bradk Now so? We have been given exposition of the Romans 1:18-32 that was declared to be the only correct understanding. My question then becomes how does that exposition stand in light of God's actions seen with Jonah and the city of Niveneh or what James declared about Demons and the knowledge of God. So far no one has answered the question they have only challenged it. |

222 | Romans in the light of Jonah does it say | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 232836 | ||
If as you say this discussion has been going on since 2001, why has that happened with the divisiveness you claim has taken place. Why can’t someone present their expository position of the passage without being told due to improper scholarship their position is wrong? I’m seeing people being shut out from participating because they don’t hold the same theological bent that the people that are presently the most outspoken on this forum have. It seems the idea of the Studybible forum has become a place of debate, where the goal is to win. I don’t believe that was Lockman’s purpose for starting and supporting this forum. Their stated purpose is and I quote, “The StudyBibleForum.com is built from the "Bible" up. A synergetic resource built to enhance and deepen your study of God's Word. It's like a free study Bible with an unlimited margin, that contained helpful verse notes, and was continually expanding. A resource where you can access and/or contribute to a dynamic repository of verse notes. It's not a discussion group or topical survey, but an ever growing "expository repository" that gives the layman and scholar an opportunity to share truth and contribute wisdom.” And while I agree the StudyBible Forum should not be allowed to become a discussion group or topical survey. There is often more than one position seen in the exposition of a passage and EACH of those positions must be allowed TO BE FAIRLY AND EQUALLY presented. That is unless we want to declare the StudyBible as a expository of “x” theology, which seems likely to happen unless other expository views are allowed to be presented and fairly considered. |

223 | Romans in the light of Jonah does it say | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 232837 | ||
Excuse me I didn't know I was addressing you. I was addressing the exposition of a passage that was presented and presented as the only correct exposition of the passage. I was asking if the conclusion of that exposition when viewed in the light of the whole of scripture did in fact say what the Scripture actually intended or not. I was asking how that exposition could then be reconciled with the events of Jonah and the quote passage in James. Or did the exposition go too far in its declaration of what Romans 1:18-32 actually says. |

Justme AMEN! Yours is an accurate observation for most all subjects discussed on a forum based on religion or politics. |

G Preston Great chart! But I have one question how do you know the things listed under the KJV are God inspired? How do you know they weren't added by over zealous scribes? It a simple question you have two books one you say is correct and the other is wrong. In fact in this case you have 3 that agree with each other yet you say they are wrong and yours is right. Based on what proof? |

Actually we don't have one from the original manuscripts, since we don't have any original manuscripts. What we have are very reliable manuscripts but as we find older ones we see things that simply aren't there and things included that our manuscript doesn't have. The question becomes are these simple scribal mistakes or were they intentional deletions or additions done by zealous scribes. Some are fairly easy to identify, a missing title or jot can change the meaning of a original language word. Others are more problematic where many verses were added, could they be inspired or additions. Yes King James did use the best translators in the land at the time however new discoveries in the original language make even our average translators superior to most of his. Also King James did have an agenda, which was to justify his theological position on a number of issues. Interestingly in most cases his translation did just that. Coincidence or collusion? Know also the King James was preceded my some older English Translations. Such as the Great Bible and Geneva Bible and all three are slightly different for the others. |

229 | Idols do we have them as Christians? | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 233034 | ||
Justme I think you are right many have material things as idols. However I believe the problem is even more pervasive, many worship a god of their own creation. Many people take attributes of the one true God and pick and choose which they like and discard the ones they don’t like. I think people often mentally cut God up as you would an apple pie and then take the slices they like and try to form a God from them. What they have created is God it is only part of God. It is a created being, created by man instead of an ever present God that created man. Example many like the idea of a loving God but not so many want to think about His holiness. Many like the concept that God is our father but few totally accept that he requires obedience. What they have in fact accomplished is the manufacture of an idol. Many many good intentioned people have done this and are now foolishly worshipping an idol. |

The problem with trying to answer your question is there are various theological views that offer varying opinions. Some say yes everyone is written in and as they reject Jesus their name is removed. Some say you name is only written there once you have accepted Jesus. Others say only some people are chosen and have their names written in the book. Some say once your name is in the book it will never be removed. And others say you name can be removed if you sin once your name is written in the book. The combinations are almost endless and any discussion of them on this forum has time and time again proven to lead to arguments that eventually shift to personal character assassination. Therefore Forum guidelines suggest we don't go there. It is like the old saying don't argue religion or politics. |

I'm not sure why you felt it necessary to say what you did but you seem to suggest I built an opinion based on metaphor. Since I only listed a few common opinions and offered no discussion about them such as what they are based on. I don't see how you could reach that conclusion or even the purpose of you post. My intent was to present an understandable and valid reason why that question would be impossible to fully answer on this forum. Perhaps you simply wanted to prove my point. |

I don't see how any of these verses support your contention that upon inception our name is recorded in the book and then at the age of accountability it is removed and later recorded again when we are saved. Perhaps I'm reading them wrong would you be kind enough to list verse and where it says we are recorded, later removed and then rerecorded? |

Oh sorry, I misunderstood why you were posting them. I would really like to know what the scripture referrences are that support your conclusions on the book of life. |

G Preston Have I read the complete Bible? Yes many times! What Version? You name it I have read it through. My daily practice is to read 2 chapters of the Old Testment, a Psalm, a Proverb, and 2 chapters of the New testament each day. I usually stay in a one version for a year before I switch to another. In that year I have read the Old Testament through, Psalms twice Proverb through each month and the New Testament twice. I then switch to another version and begin again. Not included is personal devotion time, research time, and sermon prep time all requiring the additional reading of the word and use of many versions. Why did you ask? |

I can appreciate that and that is why I'm asking for the scripture. I'm evidently missing something you are seeing and I want to have my eyes opened. | ||||||

G Preston I would like you to direct me to scripture that supports what you said when you said,"Upon birth a name is entered into the book of life. When one reaches the age of accountability the name is blotted from the book of life. Later when that person accepts Christ...thru repentance and baptism...the name is then entered into the ...Lambs book of life. Thus the reason for the two books." Thanks |

Justme I understand what you are saying completely however G Preston formed this opinion some how and I would like to know how. Was it scripture perhaps taken out of context? Was it teaching passed down? Was it a reading of scripture that I have never seen? I respect his opinion and would love to know what formed it, that is why I keep trying to get him to expand on what he said. I think when disrespect or mock another's opinion we often shut doors that were opened to allowed us all to learn and grow in God. Of course some opinions are so outside orthodox Christianity they need to be stopped before they get started but I don't think this is one of them. |

239 | why isnt all history in bible | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 233369 | ||
Scripture is given so we have knowledge of our God and how to worship and serve him. It isn't given as a history book or even a science book. The Old Testament while providing a glimpse into ancient Jewish culture is laying the ground work for the coming Messiah Jesus Christ. The New Testament is detailed look at the Jesus life and ministry and creation of the early Christian church. In addition to those details the New Testment sets down the doctrines for the Church and give us guidelines of how to conduct our life as a follower of Christ. And of our required service to God. |

240 | Can someone explain God's favor to me? | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 233383 | ||
Why not talk directly to the person that told you this? The term "calling" is usually is used in terms of a call from God to you to some sort of ministry. Assuming this person is using the term "Calling" that way he is saying he sensed that God was calling you to a ministry. You responded that you had a similar feeling in your heart. What you need to do now is to pray and seek God's leading on this calling. But since you are a new Christian I would first ask you to talk to your pastor, or the person that prophesized over you to get more direction. Don't do anything rash or foolish at this point like quitting your job so you can go into ministry. Also you need to find out how God is calling you. Is it as a pastor, or a missionary, or Sunday School teacher, or perhaps as an usher. Many people mistakenly believe God is calling them to be pastors when in fact God wanted them to be Greeters or Ushers. Also if you are called to a ministry you will need to be really study the word. When you do that you will see how God calls men and women to his purpose and equips them for the task God has for them. Please before you do anything other than pray and study talk to your Pastor. |
