281 | Is New Testament Inspired by God | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 221820 | ||
Hello confused???, Here's my brief input. The latter half of your response is dealing with the Canonization and Inspiration of Scripure. What you're asking is: 1. How do we know what books belone is the Bible, etc?; 2. What is inspiration? One of the primary verses used to support Inspiration is 2 Tim. 3:16 "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;" (NASB) There are others as well, but scripture itself claims to be "God-breathed" (theonupsos). As to what books belong in and were determined as part of the Canon, I'd highly recommend "The Canon of Scripture" by F.F. Bruce. I hope this helps, BradK |

Hello Ariel, I'll let Doc answer for himself, but here's my input if I may:-). Your point is well taken. However, from my time and experience on this Forum, if one is a JW - almost without exception- they tend to ask leading questions with alterior motives! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

283 | Praying to the Holy Spirit | Eph 6:18 | BradK | 221607 | ||
Hi Cathy, I don't want to second-guess your Pastor. However, if what you said is correct (and I don't doubt you), I would disagree with him, because I don't think there's evidence from the passage to support such an interpretation! Acts 13:2 reads, " While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." (NASB) The text does not say anything about the apostles "praying to the Holy Spirit". That is an assumption- rather speculation- that I do not believe is warranted from the text! We need to take care and not say what scripture doesn't say! Depending on your relationship with the Pastor, I'd ask him what support or evidence he can give to such an interpretation. What other scholars would agree with him? If he's not put off by being asked to uphold the Berean standard (Acts 17:11), he should be willing and able to do so:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

284 | Jesus time in Hell | 1 Pet 3:18 | BradK | 221534 | ||
Hello lightedsteps, Let's stick to one topic at a time as it makes it much easier to answer and follow:-) We're in agreement on the first two parts are we not? Your question had to do with Jesus going to hell and I've answered it! Time doesn't permit me to fully answer the "where were the souls from Adam to Christ". I don't see anything controversial about Eph. 4:9. The phrase "descended ino the lower regions,the earth" (katabas eis ta katotera tes ges) means that. It is not 'gehenna" which would refer to hell, so there's no support here from the text itself! The scriptures clearly teach that Christ died on the cross for our sins as I gave reference to in 1 Cor. 15:1-4. (cf 1 Cor. 1:17-18, Eph. 2:16) Atonement was made there, not in hell. Where are the scriptures that teach otherwise? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

285 | How to determine demonic posession? | Eph 6:13 | BradK | 221493 | ||
Hello MW, As a long-time participant, may I offer my concern and sadness at your departure! I don't think this Forum or anyone I'm familiar with is trying to "talk above you", or, as you put it "I am not serious enough for this vaunted ivory tower." That's simply not the case. You're looking at this entirely wrong. Whether in our business life or Christian walk, we only get better by playing with better people-so-to-speak! We grow by associating with others who may know more and have more experience than us! Instead of viewing this as a affront to your knowledge (or lack thereof), take it as an opportunity to learn and grow:-) The writer of Hebrews instructs us: Heb 5:12 "For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food." Heb 5:13 "For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant". Heb 5:14 "But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil". Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

287 | help with a non believer, to understand | Rom 10:17 | BradK | 221446 | ||
Hello dotandro, Correct. By all means keep them in prayer that God may remove the veil. His point- and the one I'm encouraging- is that at some point someone needs to acknowledge that they're serious about the questions they ask. That they're asking because they sincerely desire answers, not just to play a game of cat-and-mouse! I hope that makes sense:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

289 | is it possible for Jesus to have sinned? | Heb 4:15 | BradK | 221200 | ||
Hello Thomas, The original question in this thread had to do with the impeccability of Christ. Peter's denial is another. The question is only speculative, since Peter did deny Christ! So, it ultimately cannot be answered from scripture:-) What do you mean by, "OT predictions of Jesus just as immutable?" Can you clarify, please? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

290 | is it possible for Jesus to have sinned? | Heb 4:15 | BradK | 221190 | ||
Hello CDBJ, Good points- and I agree! To add some more fuel to this discussion, Joseph Saul in Bibliotheca Sacra observes: "Could Jesus Christ sin? Was it possible that He could have succumbed to the temptations He faced in the world and at the instigation of Satan? All evangelical scholars affirm that Christ did not sin. But the question is whether He could have sinned. The problem centers on the question of Christ’s susceptibility to sin. Theologically, the question is whether the Savior is posse non peccare (able not to sin) or non posse peccare (not able to sin). In other words, is it only that the Lord Jesus was able to overcome sin and temptation or rather that He could not be overcome by them? Peccability refers to Christ’s being liable to or prone to sin, and impeccability speaks of His not being liable to sin and being incapable of sinning." As to why this is significant, he notes, "First, since the Lord Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb. 13:8), whatever attributes were true of Him during His earthly existence also must be true in His preincarnate state, as well as in His present state of glory. Second, the virgin birth, the Incarnation, and the hypostatic union, are all influenced by one’s understanding of the question concerning the impeccablity of Jesus Christ. Christ, the God-Man, had a divine nature and human nature that were inseparably linked without confusion. This union demonstrated the humanity of the God-Man prepared by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35; Heb. 10:5). If Christ could sin, then deity was capable of sinning. Third, this doctrine has ramifications for angelology. The Scriptures affirm the existence of a personal being known as Satan, who is the primary instigator and sole originator of evil within the universe. Yet, if the Lord Jesus Christ is not impeccable, one can begin to question the temptation accounts of the Lord in the wilderness. If it is possible that He could sin or be overcome by temptation, what assurance does one have that these temptations were not just self-induced lustful thoughts within His human intellect and were not attacks by Satan? Fourth, the question of the impeccability of Jesus Christ also has implications for biblical inerrancy and integrity. Without a doubt, at times within His earthly life, the Lord Jesus spoke from within the limits of His unfallen humanity. For example, He declared His thirst (John 19:28) or His lack of information on the exact time of His return (Matt. 24:36). If it is possible that the Lord Jesus Christ could succumb to or be deceived by sin, then one must also conclude that it is possible for Him to have given inaccurate information about eternal things when He was growing in wisdom and stature and favor with God and man (Luke 2:52)." Blessings, BradK |

Hello watchman, You're missing the point. My response was not intended as a mere "comeback". As our hosts, The Lockman Foundation ask- before submitting a post: 1. This post is biblically based and whenever possible, I have included Bible references to support it. 2. This post is not intended as a personal attack on the authority of the Bible or on other users of this forum. 3. This post is not submitted as an effort to foster divisiveness, ill-will, dissension or other disruptions to this forum. 4. I have carefully proofread my post and believe it represents my best efforts. It is not about giving 10 different answers either. We must- and should- be able to provide a solid BIBLICAL BASIS for our post! Otherwise it is just mere opinion:-) That's where I'm coming from. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello watch..., No disrespect, but you're being rather speculative in reasoning, as I see some leaps in your logic! Points 4, 5 and 6 are nothing but your conjecture! Says who? I consulted my Companion Bible- edited by the late Dr. EW Bullinger. Though many disagree with his ultra-dispensational views, he was nontheless a recognized scholar in both Hebrew and Greek. Not even he arrives at such a conclusion! BradK |

296 | IS BAPTISM NECESSARY | NT general | BradK | 221089 | ||
Hello wordoer, May I offer a few observations: 1. There are no "contradictions" in scripture!; 2. One of the principles of interpretation is that we don't take doctrine from unclear or difficult passages! 1 Peter 3:21 is one of the more difficult in the NT as to the exact meaning. There is no consensus- with many and varied views! So, it would be remiss at best to derive a doctrine of baptismal regeneration from it; 3. What Peter is saying in this verse must correspond- or rather agree- with his statements elsewhere in the NT! In 1 Peter 1:3, we're told, "...who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead," (NASB) Note that baptism is not how we're born-again, rather it's through "the resurrection of Jesus Christ"!

Hi Rick, Ahhh... proof-texting! I don't mean to come across as demeaning, but please... take time to be serious about the responses you've been given. Your patronizing replies, replies ignoring context and general lack of biblical support is neither helpful or edifying. If you're intending to be part of the solution here on the SBF, take the time to understand the protocal and develop repoire. Otherwise, maybe this Forum is not the right place for you:-) I remain...

299 | creation | Gen 2:2 | BradK | 220915 | ||
Hello Rick, Well, I'm a little confused by your comments. Maybe you can clarify to make sure I heard what you intended? You said, "I take the account of creation in Genesis as a picture of our faith development, not as literal history" The Genesis account is either literal in the truth it presents or it's not! Where do we get the idea that Genesis is only "a picture of our faith"? Regardless if all details were not included (and no doubt they're not) the account must be accurate in what it says if scripture is truly the Word of God, inerrant, and inspired! Do you say it's not? I'm confused... You said, "Do you see where this is leading?" No disrespect intended, but apparently not. What exactly are you trying to say? Apparently, I'm not understanding what you're trying to convey. May you be so kind as to expand on your reasoning so as to clear up my confusion. I'm sure others on the SBF may have similar sentiments... The Creation account tells us first and foremost about God, "In the beginning God ..." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
