EverLearning: Thank you for pointing out that it is pretty difficult to be precise when we only have words with which to communicate. I agree. That is why all of us need to avoid posting sentences such as the following: "Let's be careful with what you are think I am saying I what I think I am saying." Grace to you, Radioman2 |

243 | The rod of correction, could it also mea | Prov 20:30 | Radioman2 | 92492 | ||
Gracefull: You raise good questions that help bring out the meaning of Proverbs 20:30. You are correct when you write: "Can external discipline truly cleanse the heart? No." Who was pierced through for our transgressions? Who was crushed for our iniquities? By whose stripes are we healed? The correct answer to all three questions is the Messiah, Christ. Thus we can never be cleansed from sin by the punishment of our own bodies. NASB Isaiah 53:5 But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed. AMPLIFIED Isaiah 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole. The meaning of Proverbs 20:30 and other verses like it is simply: "Wise use of corporal punishment deters evil behavior" (John MacArthur). (In the New Living Translation (NLT) the translators' note at Prov. 20:30 says of the word "evil": "The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain.") What do I think Proverbs means by innermost being? I would go with the NLT which translates "innermost being" as "the heart". (heart 5 : "one's innermost character, feelings, or inclinations (knew it in his heart) (a man after my own heart)" [http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary]) Proverbs 20:30 New Living Translation (NLT) Physical punishment cleanses away evil; such discipline purifies the heart.

244 | Who created evil? | Gen 3:1 | Radioman2 | 92435 | ||
Sal: I am pleased to know that you and I can look past any disagreements and love each other as God's children! That's exactly how I feel. And I am happy to be received by you and to receive you as a brother. Agreement with me has never been a condition for friendship. :-) Sal: "Honestly, how could you argue against Is 45:7? Are we to assume that it doesn't mean what it says?" Radioman2: I do not argue against Isa. 45:7. The Bible always means what it says and says what it means. I just think that the KJV is not necessarily the most accurate translation of that verse. Nothing against the KJV. I've used it, loved it, respected it, memorized it and quoted it all my life. I still use it along with others. But no translation of the Bible is perfect or inerrant. The Scriptures are inerrant only in the original manuscripts. On the other hand, that does NOT mean that we do not have trustworthy translations (plural) of the Bible today. We do. Sal: "How many bibles are we supposed to use to get the translation that we feel is right?" Radioman2: There is ONE Bible, but many translations. I do not believe there is one and only one "right" translation of the Bible. How many translations are we supposed to use? As for me, I will use as many translations as I need to get at the full meaning of a Greek or Hebrew word or verse. (Sal, I need all the help I can get. :-)) Sal: "Everything in the KJV makes perfect sense to me and I've never found a contradiction." Radioman2: Neither have I ever found a contradiction in the KJV. Nor have I found a contradiction in any other translation of the Bible either, except for the New World Translation, which no one uses except the Jehovah's Witnesses. Sal: "Are you not also doing the same thing by using your translation?" Radioman2: No, I'm really not. That is because I'm not depending on only one version for a better translation of the verse in Isaiah. There are many other versions that do not use the word "evil" in Isa. 45:7. Even the New King James Version uses the word calamity: "I make peace and create calamity" (NKJV). In this thread, I would rather not get into a dispute over which translation is better or best. That is a separate topic that can be researched or discussed separately. Regarding the understandings you gave in your last post, without going into detail, let me just say that although I respect you and enjoy this interaction, I generally do not agree with your interpretation or understanding of this matter. If I answered your Note question by question, this would be the bottom line of each of my answers. Yet I do not want to discourage you from asking me questions. I always welcome any questions you may have. No, Sal, I am definitely not offended. Not at all. Again, I am happy that you and I can dialogue, even when we disagree. I have no interest in being right for its own sake. My goal, I think, is the same as yours: to keep my thinking aligned with what the Bible says and means. To do that it sometimes becomes necessary for me to make corrections in my thinking. I appreciate you because you have a refreshing outlook toward Bible study, discussion, and fellowshiping around the Word of God. God richly bless you is my prayer, Your brother in Christ, Radioman2 |

bronx hulk: Thank you for your good Note. Re your questions, I do not believe I could do a better job of answering them than Tim has done in his Note, ID# 92220. I really do not have anything to add to what Tim has already written. Blessings to you, Radioman2 |

246 | Who created evil? | Gen 3:1 | Radioman2 | 92324 | ||
bronx hulk: What I say here is in no way intended as a criticism of you personally. I mean no offense to you. I speak the truth in Christian love. You write: 'the KJV in Is 45:7 states that "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create EVIL: I the LORD do all these things.' To me that very clearly says that God created evil." Regarding Isa. 45:7, as long as you stick to one verse in one version and insist that the one valid translation is "create EVIL," then there is no way you could be wrong -- no way that anyone could convince you that your belief that God created evil is erroneous. "If you only have one Scripture on which to base an important doctrine or teaching, you are most likely to find, on close examination, that you have none." Grace to you, Radioman2 |

248 | josiebible, where does it say we can ask | Romans | Radioman2 | 92124 | ||
"Do all speak with tongues?" No, they do not. Notice in the following passage, it does not ask: Do all have the GIFT of tongues? What it asks is: "Do all SPEAK with tongues?" 1 Corinthians 12: 27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. 28 And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way. (New King James Version) The IMPLIED or expected answer to each of the following questions is "No." Are all apostles? (No.) Are all prophets? (No.) Are all teachers? (No.) Are all workers of miracles? (No.) Do all have gifts of healings? (No.) Do all speak with tongues? (No.) Do all interpret? (No.) |

249 | What is a "carnal" Christian? | 1 John 3:10 | Radioman2 | 92118 | ||
CurtMan: I have posted additional information on the subject of the carnal Christian. To read those posts, go to: ID# 92042 and ID# 92052. To read the article that I quoted in those posts, go to: (www.founders.org/FJ16/article2.html) and (www.founders.org/FJ17/article2.html) Following are additional quotes from that article which were not posted previously: 'The question we have to consider is: Does the Bible divide Christians into two categories? This is the issue at the heart of the "Carnal Christian" teaching.' ____________________ 'It is one thing to speak and teach that Christians have carnal out-breaks, which is biblical, but it is another thing altogether to make a third class or category of men--"Carnal Christians."' ____________________ 'To interpret 1 Corinthians 3:1-4, therefore, in such a way as to divide men into three classes [--natural man, carnal man and spiritual man--] is to violate the cardinal rule of interpretation.' ____________________ 'The most doctrinal portion of the New Testament is the epistle to the Romans, and on this all reasonable Bible scholars and theologians would agree. Most scholars (if not all) would further agree that Paul's epistle to the Galatians is the second most doctrinal portion of the New Testament. The first epistle to the church at Corinth is primarily dealing with practical problems in the church:' 'These two passages [Romans 8:1-9 and Galatians 5:17-24] simply set out what the rest of the Bible clearly teaches, namely, that there are only two classes or categories of men and within these two classes there may be many shades and degrees. To interpret 1 Corinthians 3:1-4, therefore, in such a way as to divide men into three classes [--natural man, carnal man and spiritual man--] is to violate the cardinal rule of interpretation. This rule requires us to interpret all single passages in the light of the whole, to interpret all subordinate passages in the light of the leading truth, or to interpret all obscure passages in the light of clear passages.' ****************************** To answer your question about locating a post by its ID#: On the Home Page, in the upper right-hand corner you will find a box labeled "Quick Search".

Pastor Glenn: This is in no way intended as a criticism of you or your Note. I thank you for your reply. But consider the following: I have quoted but a few paragraphs from a 2-part article. Unless you have read the entire article, how would you know that the author did not do his homework before publishing his article? Let Reisinger explain what Reisinger means.

258 | Joann ... Why not use your gift ? | Romans | Radioman2 | 91965 | ||
Does the Holy Spirit pray *through* us? Whatever the answer may be, the Bible plainly says: "The Spirit Himself intercedes *for* us." (NASB, emphasis added) AMPLIFIED Romans 8:26 So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance. |

259 | Poor old Paul! | 2 Pet 3:16 | Radioman2 | 91959 | ||
Poor old Paul! Perhaps the translators of the Septuagint demonstrate "the satanic nature of modern religious practice[s]" which are "Jewish and Christian attempts to obscure the sacred name of Jehovah God," according to JWs. If this were so, then it would seem that Jesus in the Gospels and Paul in his epistles erred in quoting the Septuagint. Poor old Paul! If only he'd had the benefits of reading the Watchtower; If only he'd had the teachings of Copeland, Hagin, Price, Meyer, Hinn, et al.; If only he'd known he was supposed to mention water baptism every time he preached the gospel; Then he could have avoided all the alleged errors he made in his NT writings.
