261 | Am I ignorant | 1 Cor 12:1 | srbaegon | 212098 | ||
Hello Nevvvvine, What do you mean by immoral? Whatever your answer, transexuality is sin. Let's start with Deut. 22:5 (ESV) A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God. Regardless of direct applicability in to Christians, the understanding of the verse is that men and women are different and are demonstrate a difference. There is a creation precept at the root of this. Men and women are equal before God but have different roles--men are to be the leaders and women helpers of their men. This was true of Israel and carried forth into the church. Steve |

Hello Nevvvvine, Tim never said we lose "the filling on account of 'sin' in our lives." He said the filling comes and goes. Refilling does not constitute loss as could be demonstrated by filling a glass of water, dumping out half, then refilling it. It is a similar concept with the Holy Spirit. Steve |

263 | Repetitively Asking Forgiveness | 1 John 1:9 | srbaegon | 211697 | ||
Hello readera4, Welcome to the forum. Scripture does not say that we are ever to ask forgiveness for sin. We are to: * Confess sin (1 John 1:9 as has been mentioned). * Consider ourselves dead to sin (Romans 6:11). Can you fill in a bit more what your thinking is? Perhaps, then, a better answer can be given. Steve |

Hello briddell, Lockman owns and operates this forum for the benefit of believers on the internet who wish to study the Bible. The question you have posed is a translation issue and would be better asked of the Lockman Foundation which is operated separately. Steve |

Hello MJH, Yes, Sanders and Wright have written extensively on this as has Dunn and others. I have read one of Wright's books. He regards Judeo-Christian history as little more than an exercise in religious philosophy. No wonder he gets it wrong. Steve |

266 | What or Who is the Bride of Christ? | Revelation | srbaegon | 211649 | ||
Hello RangerRick, I assume in a toying way that you are looking for one of two answers: a) nobody, because the phrase is not in Scripture; or b) the New Jerusalem is the bride of the Lamb (Rev 21:9-12). Let's not play this game. Which answer are you seeking? Steve |

Hello MJH, Whether or not Tim Hegg is evasive, he is definitely wrong. For instance, writing on Acts 15 he states: The "issue" at hand was whether or not someone who was not a Jew could be saved. To put it another way, how could a Gentile become a covenant member with Israel and share in the blessings of the covenant? The prevailing belief of the Judaisms [sic] in Paul's day was that only Jews had a place in the world to come since God had made the covenant of blessing with Israel and no other nation. (Tim Hegg, "Acts 15 and the Jerusalem Council," TorahResource, 2008) Here are just two misstatements in just this one paragraph: 1) There was never a question of whether Gentiles could become Christians. That had been answered Acts 11:1-8. 2) Hegg qoutes 15:1-2 to begin the article but completely ignores the actual point being made which is given in 15:5 "But some believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees rose up and said, 'It is necessary to circumcise them and to order them to keep the law of Moses.'" They wanted the Gentile believers to keep the Mosaic Law which Gentiles were never asked to keep. Steve |

Hello Ovadyah, I did not say that I did not believe your statement. I said that you agreed to something I never said. The references I referred to were the Scripture passages to which you add a Pharisaic reference which Paul did not bring up. Steve |

Hello Ovadyah, We cannot communicate. Your first sentence is an agreement to something I never said. You add meaning to my references that is simply not there. There is no point in continuing. Steve |

270 | ... | Eph 2:15 | srbaegon | 211212 | ||
Hello ovadyah, OK, you're doing it again, so let's cut to the heart of the matter. Christ is the fulfillment of the Law. (You have already agreed to this.) If he is the fulfillment, what is the point of keeping it except what has been explicitly directed to Christians in the epistles? Note that Paul was rather specific about what he wrote. How much of the Law is to be kept? Gentiles are not expected to live like Jews (see Galatians 2:11-14; Acts 15). What is your personal purpose for desiring to keep the Law? You have already said that it is not necessary for justification or sanctification. Are you doing it just because you can? Steve |

Hello ovadyah, Friend, you are building a case from pretext based on your foregone conclusion. You summarize academicians as matter-of-fact, without giving us the benefit of knowing what they actually said. You cite the pre-fulfillment words of the prophets and Christ as applicable to to post-fulfillment without accounting for context or audience. Finally, Paul's epistle to the Galatians puts the whole matter to rest. The Law could not justify and cannot sanctify. We rest on the finished work of Christ. Steve |

Hello a1busdriver, And welcome. The scapegoat was sent into the wilderness bearing the iniquity of the people. Scripture says nothing about giving it to Satan. That theory was concocted as an explanation for what was happening, but there is no basis for it. Steve |

Hello DL, What could be more evil? Enabling the evil-doer to continue oppression so that children starve is more evil. Sin has consequences which extend even to those uninvolved directly with the transgression or the perpetrator. That is an observable fact. If God simply provided for those affected, he would be unjust by enabling the irresponsibility of the transgressor. It would be the same as the U.S. government bailing out the banking, auto, credit, etc. industries for stupid past decisions. Instead, retribution should be meted out on the oppressor, which is something God has promised to do but not in our time frame. He is not slow as some men count slowness. Steve |

No, it is not necessary to suppose standing upright. I was simply giving the full quote in its context. I do not think the article proves the Bible account. There is nothing in Genesis 3 that would cause us to think there could not have been a member of the snake family with leg appendages--working or not. Steve |

Hello DUDUTJ, There is nothing to indicate the serpent had legs prior to God cursing it. "Some scoffers have raised the question of whether serpents had legs and feet before man sinned and were deprived of these as penalty. The biblical account does not imply this, nor are we to suppose that before man sinned serpents stood upright; rather the serpent's closeness to the ground is now made a penalty; thereby a new meaning and significance is attached to it." --Genesis by J.G. Vos, p. 68. Steve |

Hello DUDUTJ, He did not apply it to them. By following the passage, you will see that the main argument is against the Cretans as a whole, but especially to those Cretans who were unbelieving Jews. You might ask why Titus should waste his breath rebuking these people. Paul wants all to be sound in the faith, not just the Christians. Steve |
