Greetings rabban! You said "Who are you going to make the arbiter of truth? A failing church which has distorted God's truth through the centuries? And which part of the church? Are we to look to Apollos? or Paul? or Peter? (1 Corinthians 1.12). Whose interpretation are we to follow? It was because we must look to the Holy Spirit to illuminate our own minds that 1 Corinthians 2 was written." Did Apollos, Paul and Peter have different interpretation / teachings that contradicted each other? Was it not the lack of understanding and pride of those at Corinth that had caused the division? They needed someone to teach them God's truth!!! Paul did that and pointed them to Christ. The way you have presented this appears that the three had different teachings and the Corinthians were confused because they were taught different things. It is as if you have tied these men in as causes of the failing church as you call it. As if they had “distorted” God’s truth! Something that must be considered is the gifts that God gives to the members of His Church. What need of a gift to teach for example is there if all are capable of understanding on their own? Certainly if God sees fit to gift His Church with teachers then it does not contradict what you point out in your first paragraph of this post (i.e. the illumination of the Holy Spirit). Consider Apollos! Did he need a teacher? Acts 18:25-26 Steve |

rabban, I have read it. Several times! Note I said " The way you have presented this appears..." To me, it appears this way. Note again your statement/question "Who are you going to make the arbiter of truth? A failing church which has distorted God's truth through the centuries? And which part of the church? Are we to look to Apollos? or Paul? or Peter? (1 Corinthians 1.12)." You ask a question "Who are you going to make the arbiter of truth?" What follows as I read it is a suggested answer to your own question. "A failing church which has distorted God's truth through the centuries?" And then you continue on with your suggested answer "And which part of the church? Are we to look to Apollos? or Paul? or Peter? (1 Corinthians 1.12). That's how I see it brother! But far be it from me to put words in your mouth. If this was not your intent and I misunderstand you, I can accept that. But you will need to clarify it because like I said, it appears to me to say something you are saying it doesn't. Steve |

305 | Predestination | Eccl 6:10 | humbledbyhisgrace | 197523 | ||
Greetings Val! Unfortunately, this topic is one that for some unknown reason to me is not easily discussed by most without pride getting in the way. Unfortunately, the passage you offer neither proves or disproves either view on the subject. But your statement leading off the post does reflect what I'm saying about pride. At least it comes accross that way! :-( I only draw your attention to this to encourage you not to allow yourself to fall victim like so many have in the past. I've watched you post to the forum for some time now and it seems obvious to me you love the word and most of all the Lord God and you enjoy sharing and discussing His word with others. Always keep in mind dear sister it is His word and no man or woman ever has a position to lord over it! When others do, leave them to it and pray they come to understand how precious it is! For God Himself said "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." (Isaiah 55:11) May His word convict our hearts and humble us before Him a people desperate for His salvation, understanding and wisdom and may our hearts remain humbled before Him and may our words, actions and thoughts be honoring to Him! From the heart, Steve |

Mamre, Perhaps then you could love her enough to expound on the passages she has offered as her understanding of the subject! After all, it is included in the "WHOLE counsel of God" :-) Steve |

308 | Predestination | Eccl 6:10 | humbledbyhisgrace | 197553 | ||
DFP, Mamre is correct in that we must accept all of scripture. All of scripture is from God and although we may find some hard to understand and in some cases hard to accept, we are never given the option of picking and choosing. It is far better for us to stand before Him humbled and asking Him for wisdom. (James 1:5) God bless, Steve |

309 | Predestination | Eccl 6:10 | humbledbyhisgrace | 197605 | ||
Understand! Just keep in mind (as we all should), the common ground we seek should be His truth! Not ours but His!!! I do understand your point. Unfortunately, some are unable to discuss even His word without pride getting in the way. It is a SAD thing! You would think we would all be sitting around amazed at what is before us, awed at His wisdom and glory and humbled to find even the valley is too high for us! God bless, Steve |

310 | Why do people say this when in all actua | Isaiah | humbledbyhisgrace | 194811 | ||
Lamp, Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! You have been given the correct information. Be sure to thank God for those who shared this good news with you all your life as you put it! God's word tells us this very thing you have been told. See below! 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (NASB) 15:3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 15:4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures Jesus did die for our sins! Praise God! His way is perfect and complete! There is no other way!!! Check this out! Romans 3:23 (NASB) says "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" and Romans 6:23 (NASB) says "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. " and Romans 5:8 (NASB) says "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." and Romans 10:9 (NASB) says "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" Have you ever confessed Jesus as your Lord? Do you believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead? Jesus did die for our sins! There is no other way! There is salvation in no one else! (Acts 4:12) Steve |

Greetings Brother Tim! " However, we know from the New Testament that there was an even greater fulfillment where a virgin would conceive without knowing a mn. Which, brings us to the final issue. The doctrine of the Virgin Birth does not stand or fall upon how one translates the term in Is. 7:14. Why? Because, the inspired New Testament specifically tells us that Mary was a virgin." Amen and Amen! Excellent point! God Bless, Steve |

Greetings Murrai! Actually, It was Tim and Mark who responded with some great answers. All of it good but the point Tim makes regarding the inspired New Testament is something Christians need to keep in mind. In every attempt by a none believer to discredit the Word of God that I have seen, always falls short in light of the scriptures. This case is a good example of how one would have to disregard other scriptures in order for their argument to stand. Of course I'm convinced no argument will ever stand if it contradicts the Word of God :-) Let me take this time to invite you to continue to spend some time in this forum. I don't count myself in the mix but there are many others here that you can learn a lot from. You will find it is a good place to study and discuss the Word of God. God bless you in your study!

I hear ya! But keep in mind, there is nothing wrong with telling them you don't know. It still doesn't mean they are right and it certinaly doesn't mean our faith is not based on the truth. Don't forget to smile at them ;-) Knowing in all their selfrighteousness they are actually the ones that are wrong :-) and if it pleases the Lord God to open their eyes He will! Oh yea, and don't forget to pray for them! God bless, Steve |

Greetings MJH! Given the questions posed and the history involved, I would say it is not the terms of evil that need to be reconciled but rather the terms of good which are not understood. I see your not much aware of the history on this one. Never the less, your desire to help is admirable (I think?). However, attempting a shot across the bow when surrounded by fog is really not the smartest thing to do! You may find out your shooting in the wrong direction! Steve |

Isaiah 29:16 You turn things around! Shall the potter be considered as equal with the clay, That what is made would say to its maker, "He did not make me"; Or what is formed say to him who formed it, "He has no understanding"? Isaiah 45:9 Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker An earthenware vessel among the vessels of earth! Will the clay say to the potter, 'What are you doing? Or the thing you are making say, He has no hands? "Why destroy Sodom when he knew about San Francisco? Why create Adam and Eve in the first place if he knew what would happen? Why create Adam to Noah if he was going to kill them all anyway?" For His Glory! "Why kill everyone but Noah if he knew what the world would end up like?" Again, for His glory! When we see what the world will end up like, we will see His glory. We will see how His ways are much higher then our ways and His thoughts higher then our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9) And ALL will bow before Him and confess Him as Lord! (Philippians 2:9-1). "Why does god seem surprised by the actions/reactions of men?" Where do you find God surprised at anything man has done? God knew you before you were even created in your mothers womb (Psalm 139:13-16, Jeremiah 1:4-5) He knows everything about you even down to the number of hairs on your head (Matthew 10:30) He created you for His purpose not your own. "Why does god get upset when men turn away from him, he should expect it?" What makes you think He doesn't expect it? After all, it's a part of His plan as is all things before and after this day (Ephesians 1:9-10, Romans 8:28). "Why does god even have human emotions like hatred, anger and jealousy? Aren't those 'bad' traits? If he were the vast intelligence being that created all things why does he have this primitive, negative human qualities?" Possibly you should take the time to read the word of God and seek the answers their. The word of God clearly teaches us we are created in God's image (Genesis 1:26). God has not taken on our traits. Humans are the created being not the creator. We (mankind) have been made in the Creator's image not the other way around. These "traits" you mention are perfect in the creator. Mankind is the corrupted one! May God show mercy and reveal to you His truth! Steve |

Do you believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God? Do you believe there is any other way to salvation other then through Jesus Christ? Do you believe Jesus Christ to be God incarnate? Steve |
