241 | Solo Scriptura -- Radical Individualism | 2 Tim 3:6 | EdB | 243402 | ||
Calvin by saying this negates the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Yes scripture has set the boundaries for us but the Holy Spirits ministry is to guide us within those boundaries. To attempt to limit God is far more deadly. I can understand Calvin's fear without the leading of the Holy Spirit this life is a fearful place. But God did not give us a spirit of fear. God's plan is perfect it does not need embellishment of man's reasoning. What man needs is to learn to be lead of the Spirit and let God held the rest. |

242 | Christianity requires work | James 2:23 | EdB | 243399 | ||
Abraham's salvation was based on works. His belief in God and conformity to God's will (obedience) Careful of those that say you are saved but do not have to believe in God or conform to God's will. Many try to make easy believism a truth but it is not. Living a Christian life is hard and requires us to turn our backs on the things of this world. Many will say oh you can do this or that, just do it in moderation. No man tangled in sin ever meant to do so. They believed the lie of the adversary that they were strong and do it in moderation. |

243 | ALL the World | John 3:17 | EdB | 243398 | ||
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. Notice it never says only the elect of the world, it clearly states the world. There is a condition that is found in John 3:16, that condition requires our "pisteuo" belief. Pisteuo is the Greek word we translate as belief but means much more than a head knowledge acceptance of something. Pisteuo means to place "life dependent" belief in something. |

244 | Put together with love | Rom 8:28 | EdB | 243397 | ||
One Sunday morning at a small southern church, the new pastor called on one of his older deacons to lead in the opening prayer. The deacon stood up, bowed his head and said,"Lord, I hate buttermilk." The pastor opened one eye and wondered where this was going. The deacon continued, "Lord, I hate lard." Now the pastor was totally perplexed. The deacon continued, "Lord, I ain't too crazy about plain flour. But after you mix 'em all together and bake 'em in a hot oven, I just love biscuits." "Lord help us to realize when life gets hard, when things come up that we don't like, whenever we don't understand what You are doing, that we need to wait and see what You are making. After you get through mixing and baking, it'll probably be something even better than biscuits. Amen. Romans 8:28 |

245 | Watchmen's job | Ezek 33:6 | EdB | 243393 | ||
Ezekiel 33:6 (NKJV) 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand.' Those that deny the ministry of the Holy Spirit are the sword this passage is talking of. They want man to depend on his own intellect, his own logic, his own reasoning and to ignore the power of God. They use word like mystical, secret revelation, and others to cast dispersion on any move of the Holy Spirit they have reasoned to be something they don’t understand. Instead of seeking God for understanding they stiff necked deny it is of God and cast doubt on the salvation of anyone that seeks the fullness of God and His Holy Spirit. |

246 | Sin Flatters and Deceives | Ps 36:2 | EdB | 243392 | ||
The Pharisees were quick to accuse Jesus when He talked of sin. Instead of accepting what Jesus was telling them they attempted to deflect the listener’s attention to question the One that was calling out sin. Your quote is right sin manifests in may ways and blinds those in sin so they can not see it. However shining a light of truth is not sin it is the duty of all that see people being misled. If a wolf comes into the sheep fold should no one sound the alarm. Is it sin to do so. Many things happened in the Reformation and many of the men touted to be spiritual leaders of the Reformation were nothing more than mouthpieces and politicians of those whose agenda was cast off restraint and do as they saw fit. Many sent innocent souls to the stake simply because those souls did not agree with them. Interestingly history simply ignores those facts and often touts these men as great theologians and saviors of the true church. They are guilty of Habakkuk 2:10 (NKJV) 10 You give shameful counsel to your house, Cutting off many peoples, And sin against your soul. |

247 | You Are not Telling the Truth | Jer 43:2 | EdB | 243390 | ||
When is personal attacks on a poster allowed on this forum? If I did not tell the truth then show me where I manufacture a cited references. I strongly object to being accused of not telling the truth when no evidence of such was ever provided. It seems that some people have liberties on this forum that others do not have. Let me call you a liar and see how long my post remains on the forum. What I accuse you of is of not telling the full story. Many of the men you quote were men that called for the murder of others, men that formed opinion not by the truth of scripture but through their own intellect, logic or bias. In some cases they must ignore or talk around scripture that specifically stand counter to their theology. They talk of God's overwhelming love but paint God as almost (I said almost) a puppet master. They ignore or deny the ministry of the Holy Spirit simply because they are not comfortable with it. They mock experience as to easily being imagined or open to deception, but attempt using their "intellect" to define and explain God. Even though scripture clearly says man can not do that. |

248 | Martin Luther actually said | 2 Cor 11:4 | EdB | 243389 | ||
You say Luther applied Acts 7:51? Okay. Where does it say Jews are vermin and should be exterminated in scripture? Broad strokes of the brush? Paul's life admittedly was a mess before his salvation but we aren't talking of Luther before salvation but actually years after when he is touted by some as a great theologian. I hold no love for anyone that claims personal revelation if that revelation is not contained within the boundaries already set by scripture. Luther called for the destruction of Jews and called for physical rebellion and killing, called for men to be sent to the stake. Show me any of that in New Testament theology or the teachings of the Holy Spirit. You say you long to react with men anointed with the Holy Spirit but you align yourself with men that called for the murder of others. How can you find one when you are in bed with the other? There is no self justification in anything I said only the light of the truth that many want to remain hidden. |

249 | You Are not Telling the Truth | Jer 43:2 | EdB | 243388 | ||
It being unChrist like to shine a light on the falsehoods that get covered up and unspoken of. I have malice against the Reformation in that I have malice against anything that divides the body of Christ. Jesus prayed for the unity of the church and certain men with their human intellect, logic, and smooth flowing words divided the church for political gain and did so with their own declared impunity. They take the name reformers but in fact they wanted one thing, to overthrow the control of the church of the time and not to reform it at all. But what bothers me far more is more is when the political mouth pieces and politicians of the Reformation using their brand of theology to mock men that had dedicated their entire life to the service of God. Liberals? What do we call a man that says sure go marry another even though you are already married. What do we call a person that says we can not live holy lives so sin strongly so the grace of God can work all the more? And then are setup as GREAT theologians who teach anyone that disagrees with them should be taken to the stake. Is it malice to point these things? Or is it bringing into the light the mindset of men that developed the hateful theology of the reformed. |

250 | Kenoticism | Phil 2:7 | EdB | 243384 | ||
1 Timothy 6:20-21 (NASB) 20 O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called "knowledge"— 21 which some have professed and thus gone astray from the faith. Grace be with you. |

251 | Martin Luther actually said | 2 Cor 11:4 | EdB | 243383 | ||
I might add Martin Luther also hated Jews and said they should be destroyed as vermin. Sounds like the perfect picture of Christian charity. |

252 | Martin Luther actually said | 2 Cor 11:4 | EdB | 243382 | ||
One man said What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Another man said Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong,… (1) One of the men quoted above also said, 1 Timothy 6:20 (NASB) 20 O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called "knowledge"— One of the men quoted above once advised another man to go ahead and marry a second woman but keep quiet about it. (2) That same man teaches on soul sleep, much like the Jehovah Witnesses (3) While the other man quoted said. 2 Corinthians 5:6, 8 (NKJV) 6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. The man that said go and sin strongly, get married to a second women but be quiet about it and taught on soul sleep, was the Martin Luther. Of course it was Paul that said do not continue in sin, it was also Paul that wrote the passage 1Tim. 6:20 and 2 Cor. 5:6,8 and it was Martin Luther that said just the opposite and advised a married man to marry a second women and to keep quiet about it. Interesting how he is quoted so often here but none of these things are ever mentioned.

253 | family in heaven | Rev 21:4 | EdB | 243379 | ||
Since the Lake of Fire is eternal punishment. I would think the knowledge of a loved ones suffering would be stressful. I would think it would fill us with a degree of regret or doubt, did we do everything possible to lead this person to the truth. Think of a parent knowing their child must endure such punishment even though it is just. However there may be some kind of disconnect from the physical feelings, love,hate, remorse, regret, anger,and such we now experience. It is possible that while we may know someone it won't be based on physical relationship but rather pure knowledge of the person with no physical emotions as we know them involved. |

254 | Does the Cepher have Family Records? | Bible general | EdB | 243377 | ||
Third paragraph the "we" should read "he". As in why he didn't address the question to the books publisher. | ||||||
255 | Does the Cepher have Family Records? | Bible general | EdB | 243376 | ||
Before everyone goes after me perhaps you need to understand what the Cepher is. It is book that basically disagrees with the canon of both the Old and New Testament. It includes books like the Book Jasher, Enoch and other books that aren't considered canonical. It also modifies most accepted translations claiming it is true to the original manuscripts, however the accepted translations have been widely accepted as authentic translations some have stood for hundreds of years. This "book" is published by a publisher other than Lockman, so I was more than a little curious as why we didn't address his question to "books" publisher since they would surely know what their "book" contains. It was if he was using the Lockman funded StudyBible forum to advertise an another publishers work. SPAM? Now after all the furor generated over it I would say he was successful. |

Justme I apologized to WamYah for my response. When I first read his question I thought it was an attempt to add credibility to a false book. I reacted incorrectly and I apologized. I ask your forgiveness for my ill manner behavior. |

257 | The sign of the times | 2 Tim 3:1 | EdB | 243369 | ||
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2Â For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Â unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4Â traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5Â having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6Â For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7Â always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Having a form of godliness but denying its power. I believe most of this is done today by denying the ability of the Holy Spirit to move as sovereign God, by defining what the Holy Spirit can and can not do according to their intellect and man's logic. |

258 | Founded on the Rock is Testable | Matt 7:25 | EdB | 243368 | ||
Problem is many can seemingly be in accord with both credal test and the moral test and still be false. Many deflect worship from God to Creeds or Theology, in an effort to further their agenda. They claim the are God's agents but in fact the are the agents of a philosophy the rings true to THEIR intellect or logic. They have their favorite scripture passages that seemingly support their position but to accept their teaching one must ignore overall premise of scripture. Likewise they have learned to rebuke any passage that disagrees with their agenda. They use such arguments as this word doesn't really mean this or that, when we take this passage in light of the society of the time it really means this or that. To accept the passage at face value is an afrront to man's intellect or logic. In other words they, using their intellect and logic, define God and if anyone worships God that does not fit to their definition then that person is wrong. This is explained by tearing down the nature of the person. 2 Cor. 11:4 |

259 | family in heaven | Rev 21:4 | EdB | 243366 | ||
Lionstrong Your proof text Luke 16:27 is talking of a person in Sheol not a person in heaven. I believe we will know our relatives that are in heaven as you proved citing Matt 17:3. But I thought the question was would we in heaven know of our loved ones that aren't there but in the Lake of Fire. I think that would cause us distress and we are assured heaven will be stress free Rev 21:4 |

260 | God Prepares His Own for the Best | 1 Sam 2:6 | EdB | 243365 | ||
This is the worst exegesis of 1 Sam 2:6 I have ever read. Read this passage in context and see if you an make the connection Luther imagined was there. What loving father destroys the hope of his child to teach them he is father provider? 1 Sam 2:6 is simply confirming God held the keys of death before He gave them to Jesus. It was part of the prayer Hannah prayed when she fulfilled the her oath to God. She is reassuring herself of the power of God and His promise of resurrection. |
