241 | Unpardoned sin in New Testament? | Mark | BradK | 229878 | ||
Hello rbarrow, You're painting with a very broad brush. While the Gospels were "under the law"- and I understand the dispensational distinctions- unbelief cannot be pardoned. That is a contradiction. Just to clarify, are you saying there is (now) no unpardonable sin? Again, you're being very general when you state, "we have become to religous to be biblical! We must study His the Word." Can you better define what you mean by being "to religious (sic) to be biblical."? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

242 | I am confused | Rom 8:30 | BradK | 229684 | ||
Hello EJJ, Welcome to the Forum. I'm a little unclear as to where you're headed with your terminology:-) Rom 8:30 says, "...and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified." (NASB) After those "He also glorified", I see nothing about "meet(ing) the terms of the gospel"? You say "All things depend upon meeting the conditions of the gospel." What exactly are those conditions? Are you speaking to our salvation or our santification? I note that in Rom. 4:4 we're told, "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS." In Heb. 11:8, it says, "By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed..." So, what "conditions of the gospel" are there besides the obedience of faith? It sounds a bit like you're advocating a works-righteousness? Speaking the truth in Love, BradK |

244 | trans word intensify amp how emp preva | Acts 19:20 | BradK | 229623 | ||
Hello popcorn, Good question- but one I don't think any of us can answer directly. In other words we can't speak for the decision the authors themselves employed. Keep in mind, the Amplified is a 'parphrase'- expanding upon the original language to attempt to provide a deeper sense of what the author is saying. It is not a translation. So, 'continued to increase' (ESV) is the Greek verb, 'auxano'. It describes what the 'word of the Lord' did. IMO, Intensified is simply a commentary upon this action. We might say, "it continued to increase- and intensified, prevailing mightily"! The Amplified reads, "Acts 19:20, "Thus the Word of the Lord [concerning the attainment through Christ of eternal salvation in the kingdom of God] grew and spread and intensified, prevailing mightily." By comparison: Youngs Literal Translation reads, "so powerfully was the word of God increasing and prevailing." Wuests Expanded Translation reads, "So mightily did the word of the Lord keep on growing and gaining strength." I hope this is of some help. BradK |

246 | explain why does God sometimes ignore ou | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 229571 | ||
Hello Sylvia, Welcome to the Forum. Great question! You are not alone in your observation. If you read the book of Job, he asks the same questions. Job basically asks "where is God?" in chapter 23. In 24:1ff, he asks, "Why are times not stored up by the Almighty, And why do those who know Him not see His days?" (NASB) The wicked prosper and the righteous and poor are taken advantage of. But then he concludes that, "He provides them with security, and they are supported; And His eyes are on their ways." This apparent apathy of God toward the wicked is seen continually through scripture. In Jeremiah 12:-4 we read: 12:1 Righteous are You, O LORD, that I would plead my case with You; Indeed I would discuss matters of justice with You: Why has the way of the wicked prospered? Why are all those who deal in treachery at ease? Jer 12:2 You have planted them, they have also taken root; They grow, they have even produced fruit. You are near to their lips But far from their mind. Jer 12:3 But You know me, O LORD; You see me; And You examine my heart's attitude toward You. Drag them off like sheep for the slaughter And set them apart for a day of carnage! Jer 12:4 How long is the land to mourn And the vegetation of the countryside to wither? For the wickedness of those who dwell in it, Animals and birds have been snatched away, Because men have said, "He will not see our latter ending." In Ps. 37:1-2, We're comforted to know, "Do not fret because of evildoers, Be not envious toward wrongdoers. For they will wither quickly like the grass And fade like the green herb." (NASB) I think often, while we tend to be professing theists, we live more like we're deists- that God is uninvolved and has left us to our own demise. Yet, the God who created us and loves us also cares for us, "...casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you." (1 Pet. 5:7) I hope this helps, BradK |

247 | Do God hear/answer prayers of unsaved? | Acts 10:4 | BradK | 229527 | ||
Hello joe..., If it's instructive in any way, the apostle Paul's only prayer for unbelivers was for their (Israels')salvation: Rom 10:1 "Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation" (NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

248 | will people be saved during tribulation? | Rev 7:14 | BradK | 229380 | ||
Hello BobW, To answer your question, yes there will be people saved during the tribulation. Actually, as I understand this book of prophecy, a great number will be saved- even more in the 7 years than during the church age! Rev 7:14 tells us, "I said to him, "My lord, you know." And he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." (NASB) If we take careful note, in Rev. 9, the purpose of the plagues is to bring man to the end of himself so that he will turn to God. For instance, back in Rev. 8:7 God is using His creation to bring man to an end of himself by reducing oxygen, moisture ans water. In 8:12 God is reducing the amount of sunlight. These are all (designed if you will) to bring man to repentance. Revelation is about a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ. In Rev. 19:10 we see that, "...the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." (NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

249 | What is meant by anointed? | 1 Sam 10:1 | BradK | 229363 | ||
Hello Richard, Thanks for the response. Is see what your attempting to say. However, simply stringing together verses without any context doesn't really answer the question. So, what comprises faith? I note that Hebrews 11, is often referred to as "Faiths Hall of Fame". In reading it, you will not find it said, "But 'baptism' is the assurance of things hoped for" (vs 1), nor will you read, "By 'baptism' Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice..." (vs 4)! Etc, etc.... However, we do see it said in 11:8, that "By faith Abraham obeyed..." Is not "faith" itself his and our obedience? (Rom. 1:5, 16:26) [I define faith here as simply believing God- and what He has revealed to us] Our faith in God is designed to produce obedience, but this faith can be manifested in different ways. I think our difference may be that we do not view salvation in the same way. Do you hold that salvation is, "by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast?" (Eph. 2:8-9 NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

250 | What is meant by anointed? | 1 Sam 10:1 | BradK | 229348 | ||
Hello penni..., Welcome to the Forum. I was following you up until the point you said, "We receive the Holy Spirit when we obey the good news about Jesus in baptism. Acts 2:38". What about faith? What role does it play for the believer? How does this relate to what is stated in Eph 1:13, "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise," (NASB) Is the gift of the Holy Spirit received by faith or baptism?

251 | when did jesus ascend into heaven? | Acts 1:9 | BradK | 229257 | ||
Hello elizabeth, Acts 1:9-11 records the Ascension of Christ. Acts 1:9 And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. Acts 1:10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. Acts 1:11 They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven." (NASB) I hope this helps, BradK |

252 | I don't understand why Jesus told the le | Matt 8:4 | BradK | 229187 | ||
Hello contented carol, Welcome to the Forum. That's a great question. Though the text doesn't directly say, I think we can be safe to venture that Jesus commanded his silence in order to keep the central focus off the miracle itself. We see similar cases where Jesus ask for silence concerning His ministy: 9:30, 12:16, 16:20. and 17:9. Brought into today's context with the "miracle" shows on TBN and other so-called healing ministries, we see why. The focus really becomes the seeking of the healing itself and of course fame and fortune for the healer. In this regard, I like the question posed by Satan of the Lord in Job 1:9, Then Satan answered the LORD, "Does Job fear God for nothing?" (NASB). Is God alone- or Christ alone- enough for us? I hope this helps, BradK |

253 | what are the 10 times angels are mention | Heb 13:2 | BradK | 229111 | ||
Hello mlkiddey, Angels are mentioned dozens of time in the NT alone. I'm not sure where you get the number 10? As far as what they do in the NT, you're looking at the topic of Angelology. A helpful link would be: http://bible.org/topics/336/Angelology. At least one of their more important functions is mentioned in Heb 1:14, "Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?"

255 | what day should the sabbath be? | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 229021 | ||
Hello Holmes, I believe scripture itself answers your question. I'll give a (very) brief summary: In Matt 12:1-8 , the Pharisees were seeking to charge the disciples with doing what was not lawful on the Sabbath. Jesus answered them in 12:8, "For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." Paul writes in Col 2:16, "Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day--" (NASB) So, as I see it, the Sabbath is a particular day of the week, but is found and fulfilled in the Lord Jesus Christ! It is Him we seek, and Him we worship! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

256 | im being told to practice rom4:17b | Rom 4:17 | BradK | 229020 | ||
Hello RWC, Welcome to the Forum. Might I ask who's telling you to "practice" Rom. 4:17? Be careful about taking things out of their context- or ignoring it altogether. The verse must be read in context of the entire chapter- Abraham's justification by faith. The verse reads, "...even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist." (NASB) Read carefully, we note that it is GOD who give life and it is GOD who calls into being- nothing said about us. This is not a prescription for us as believers to "practice". Faith is not a formula nor a power that we excercise. It is rooted in the object of the Lord Jesus Christ! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

260 | Why should I believe Jesus lived? | Heb 11:6 | BradK | 228935 | ||
Hello Christinme, I would offer that the best place to start is to know your bible. There is also ample historical evidence to support that Jesus actually lived- a fact attested to by many extra-biblical writers. An excellent resource would be "Evidence That Demands a Verdict", by Josh McDowell. Regardless, faith still plays an important part in believing this. As Heb. 11:6 states, "And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him." (NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
