344 | How can Israel in Hos 11:1 be Jesus? | Hos 11:1 | BradK | 226409 | ||
Hello Michael, You're not alone in your observation regrading Hos. 11:1. The use of the Old Testament in the New continues to be a subject of great debate and much has been written regarding it. Writing in Bibliotecha Sacra, Tracy Howard (ThM Dallas Theological Seminary)observes the following: (I'll quote in part) "One of the thornier problems is the use of Hosea 11:1 (“Out of Egypt I called My son”) in Matthew 2:15. The difficulty of this problem is evidenced by the numerous solutions offered by evangelicals, some of which have serious ramifications in both hermeneutics and theology." The Problem: "The problem of Matthew’s use of Hosea 11:1 is articulated by Ellis, who writes, “To many Christian readers, to say nothing of Jewish readers, the New Testament interpretation of the Old appears to be exceedingly arbitrary. For example, Hosea 11:1 (‘Out of Egypt I called my son’) refers to Israel’s experience of the Exodus; how can Mt. 2:15 apply it to Jesus’ sojourn in Egypt?”1 As Ellis correctly points out, Hosea 11:1–2 describes the history of the nation of Israel at the time of the Exodus as well as the succeeding events." "It is important to observe that the reference in Hosea 11:1 is to the nation Israel and her historical Exodus. No exegetical evidence exists that a concept of Messiah (either explicitly or implicitly) is in this passage. That Hosea’s focus was on the nation and not Messiah is also demonstrated from verse 2, in which he described the events after the Exodus." Various Solutions exist to attempt an explanation: 1.Predictive Prophecy "Some commentators regard Matthew 2:15 as a direct fulfillment of Hosea 11:1" 2. Sensus Plenior "William LaSor has argued that the use of Hosea 11:1 in Matthew 2:15 is an appropriate example of sensus plenior. The principle of sensus plenior, advocated primarily by Roman Catholic scholars, has been debated frequently, However, in recent years it has also been the subject of discussion by evangelicals, particularly with the renewed study of the use of the Old Testament in the New." 3.Typological: "This solution maintains that the events in the life of the nation as described in Hosea 11:1–2 “typified” the life of Messiah in Matthew 2:13–15. Exactly what this means can vary because the word “type” is used loosely. Traditionally typology has been defined by centering on the idea of prefiguration. For example Fritsch says that a type is “an institution, historical event or person, ordained by God, which effectively prefigures some truth connected with Christianity.” According to this position, the events described in Matthew 2:13–15 were prefigured in Hosea 11:1–2.34 However, the prefigurative view of typology has questionable implications." [Bibliotheca Sacra : A quarterly published by Dallas Theological Seminary. 1996. Dallas TX: Dallas Theological Seminary.] This is a brief summary of the entire article, but hopefully will be of help. It really delves into an aspect of Hermenuetics that can be very scholarly.:-) If you'd like the full article, just let me know. Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

347 | who is the author of the bible? | Deut 9:9 | BradK | 226354 | ||
Hello burnside, The bible was written by numerous authors over a span of 1500 some years! Most Evangelicals would hold to the Dual- source (authorship) theory of inspiration. This being that scripture is the result of 100 percent God and 100 percent man. Beyond the language of 2 Tim. 3:16, we're not explicitly told how the actual process of inspiration took place!

348 | do animals have souls? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 226349 | ||
Hello truth, The term "soul" is translated by the Greek word psuche and the Hebrew nephesh. In the OT the soul signifies that which is vital to humans in the broadest sense. The Hebrew and Greek words for soul often can be translated as “life”. In this sense it is frequently used of animals (Gen. 1:20, 24, 30; 9:12, 15-16, Lev 11:10, Ezk. 47:9). The description of man’s creation in Genesis 2:7, the phrase “a living soul” (KJV) may be better translated as “a living being”, or "possessing life". The thought is not that men and women became souls, for clearly they had bodies. The use of the word in the original draws attention to the vital aspect of humans as “living beings". This in no way implies or says anything about animals having a soul! In the NT the word for soul (psuche) has a range of meanings similar to that in the OT. Often it is synonymous with life itself. Followers of Jesus are said to have risked their lives (souls) for his sake (Acts 15:26; cf. Jn 13:37; Rom 16:4; Phil 2:30). As the Son of Man, Jesus came not to be served but to serve and to give his life (soul) as a ransom for many (Mt 20:28; Mk 10:45). As the Good Shepherd, he lays down his life (soul) for the sheep (Jn 10:14, 17–18). In Luke 14:26 the condition of discipleship is to hate one’s soul, that is, to be willing to deny oneself to the point of losing one’s life for Christ’s sake (cf. Lk 9:23; Rv 12:11). Scripture doesn't actually say or teach that animals have souls! This is yet another example of numerous erroneous (false) teachings of the Watchtower Organization! Nowehere is either the OT or NT term applied directly to animals. Think about that. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello truth, Does scripture actually say "animals have souls?" You're making some inferences by proof-texting! What scripture conclusively supports your view? By the way, are you a member of the Watchtower Organization - a JW? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

350 | full of the spirit | Eph 1:13 | BradK | 226308 | ||
Hello lidiagg, According to scripture, all believers receive the Holy Spirit upon salvation: 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, Eph 1:14 "who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory." (NASB) Yet, we are implored to be (continually) filled (Controlled by) with the Spirit, " And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit," (Eph. 5:18) cf Gal. 5:16 How do you know you're "full of the Holy Spirit?". You will manifest the "fruit of the Spirit",(characteristics) "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control;" (Gal. 5:22-23) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

351 | What happen to dead before Jesus Came. | Heb 11:39 | BradK | 226263 | ||
Hello Gary, The 11th chapter of Hebrews provides the answer to what happened to the people who believed in God?: Heb 11:13 "All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth." (NASB) cf. 11:39-40 What qualified them to go?: Their faith! Heb. 11:1-2 tells us, "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval." Where are they now? They are in living in the fellowship and presence of God. I hope this helps, BradK |

356 | BAPTIZEM | John 3:5 | BradK | 226118 | ||
Hello sky... I'm not sure the meaning you're attributing to 3:5 here is correct? How do you arrive at your conclusion? Additionally, if it is baptism and the Spirit, which baptism? You have a bit of a predicament in exegesis! Are you therefore advocating baptismal regeneration...that baptism is required for our salvation? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK I |

358 | forgivness of sins | John 3:16 | BradK | 226067 | ||
Hello dd4, Could you clarify what you said about baptism in regard to "a few things necessary to be in Christ:"? Are you saying that baptism is a necessary element of salvation? That it is in some way salvific? The challenge with using Mark 16:16 as a proof text is due to it's being footnoted in most bibles. Since vs 9:20 are not found insome of the oldest manuscripts, doubt remains as to whether it was in the orignal Marcan texts! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

359 | Isn't Paul free of sin? | Rom 7:25 | BradK | 225998 | ||
Phillip: Please my friend, your lack of time in the Lord is now clearly evident. You're digging yourself into a hole. Stop digging:-)You've come up with specious doctrines that defy support from Church History! Where does 1 Cor. 10:13 say "you can resist all sin"? At best your ignorance of words and their meaning has become all too obvious! Let's stop the charade of proof-texting! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

360 | Isn't Paul free of sin? | Rom 7:25 | BradK | 225997 | ||
Hello Phillip, I'm not really trying to create a debate on this matter. That's not my intent. What exactly is the point you're trying to make? I understand what these scriptures say- I've been walking in the Lord for 25 years:-) Again, you're proof-texting! Just because these verses mention perfection, being blameless, or righteouness, etc. doesn't mean we take them and thereby develop a doctrine based upon selective use of meaning! Before this drags on, you really need to study and understand the context of each of these scriptures! Context is extremely important. To ignore it is to stray from sound hermenuetics. Words mean what the original author intended- in proper context. Does this make sense? Here would be a couple questions I'd pose to you: 1. Does the reader determine the meaning of a text or does the author? 2. How exactly have you arrived at your position. Who has influenced you? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
