3421 | What is wrong w/Women speaking in church | 1 Cor 14:34 | BradK | 75932 | ||
Dear goodlife, I think you would get a better response if you could avoid making rather subjective, dogmatic, and unfounded statements. Your statement,"There is nothing at all in the bible that would argue against a womans right to speak in the church.",is a case in point. What of 1 Timothy 2:12-14 "But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet?" I do understand what has happened, my friend! I would argue that the burden of proof is on you! It might be advisable to distiguish between mere opinion and Biblically based fact! Your views are certainly welcome- however they should also include scriptural support to be taken seriously:-) Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

3422 | Are there any "people" created by Satan? | Gen 2:7 | BradK | 75925 | ||
Dear goodlife, Your rather lengthy treatise on the nonexistence of Satan is rather perplexing! Are you serious? You state,"if anyone would like to further discuss the issue of satans nonexistence I would be more then happy to accomodate them." Would you be so kind as to provide some scriptural basis for your contentions? You give absolutely none! As this is a Study Bible Forum you might do well to familiarize yourself with the guidelines:-) As to your contention that "man" created satan, this contradicts my understanding of the Doctrine of Satan! As to his nature, we know he is a created angelic being. He was created as part of the angelic realm (Eph. 6:11,12, Ezek.24:18) and was the highest in rank of them all ( Ezek. 28:12-14). As to the "non-existence os satan", how do you then account for the fact that 7 OT books and every NT writer refer to satan? Jesus Himself referred to satan (Matt.13:39, Luke 10:18,11;18)! According to your theory, the Apostle Paul wasted a lot of space in writing Ephesians 6:1-10 in commanding believers to "take up the whole armor of God?" Why are we admonished further in Eph. 6:16 to,"in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one." My friend, I'd be much more inclined to consider the relevence of what you say if you could provide proof. Other than that, you've only offered an opinion- and at that-not a very well founded one.

3423 | once saved always saved | John 10:28 | BradK | 75915 | ||
New Creature, I can only add that you have stated your opinion based upon your study. I am in the first group. You state,"the "once saved, always saved" teaching is built upon partial truths presented as the whole truth." In all fairness, could I not say the same of the "group that believes that salvation can be forfeited?" I too have studied this topic in depth. What is untrue of Romans 8:28-39? "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Simply said, we do not understand all of Gods' ways. I do however, understand His Grace well enough to know that I am secure IN HIM. Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

3424 | How Does Baptism Save? | 1 Pet 3:21 | BradK | 75781 | ||
Hi Rocky, I don't necessarily disagree with what you say, however my question is still: What are we to make of the clear statement in 1 Cor.12:13? In light of 1 Cor. 12:13, I do not take any of the Pauline references as referring to water, but rather spiritual:-) Speaking The Truth in Love, BradK |
||||||
3425 | How Does Baptism Save? | 1 Pet 3:21 | BradK | 75764 | ||
Hi Rocky, I'd refer you to 1 Cor. 12:13, "For by ONE SPIRIT we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." The spiritual "baptism" is the reality,water is merely symbolic. As Dr. Kenneth Wuest notes regarding this, "It is the baptism with the Spirit in the sense that God the Father does the baptizing through His personal agent, the Holy Spirit."

Dear JanetC, I believe you're referring to Enoch who's mentioned in Gen, 5:21-24 and Heb. 11:5. I hope this helps, BradK |

3427 | How Does Baptism Save? | 1 Pet 3:21 | BradK | 75597 | ||
Dear middleton, Is your understanding that Col. 2:12 is a reference to water baptism and not spiritual? If so on what basis would you conclude that:-) Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

3428 | Searching for the truth | Heb 1:6 | BradK | 75213 | ||
Truthseeker, I would also echo my support for Tim Moran on this matter! I too affirm the Diety of Christ. What of John 17:5," Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was." This verse most certainly shows forth the Diety of Christ along with His eternal preexistence! Only the Lord (Jehovah) is to receive glory. Isaiah 42:8, "I am the Lord, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to graven images." As there are no contradictions in scripture, How could we have Christ praying to the Father to receive glory (that's only reserved for God) if He is not indeed God in the flesh?

3429 | OT covenant vs. NT covenant | Heb 10:1 | BradK | 75061 | ||
Dear sept14child, In answer to your question I would recommend you continue your reading into Hebrews 10:1-26. The essential difference as I see it, is a contrast between OT Law and NT Grace. Salvation-always having been by grace- was manifested in the OT as faith "evidenced by works" as we see of Abraham in Genesis 22:1-10 and Hebrews 11:17. You had to perform to inheret the blessing. By contrast, we are "...blessed with all the spiritual blessings in the heavenlies IN CHRIST." (Eph. 1:3). Accordingly, now we have, "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love."( Gal.5:6) A bit oversimplified, maybe, but I feel this will give you a further foundation for your own study and understanding.

3430 | I need verses on why we need God's Word. | NT general Archive 1 | BradK | 75048 | ||
Damascus, You ask a great question, but one that cannot be answered adequately in a short response:-) One of the most well-known, yet I believe fascinating responses, is that of the Lord in Matthew 4. Christ- God in the flesh- answers Satans' temptations by quoting the written Word in verses 1-11. What I find fascinating is that it not only shows forth the veracity of the OT Word, but of all the possible responses He could have offered ( being God), He responded with scripture! One of my favorite sections of scripture to both pray and meditate on is Pauls' description of the believers armor in Eph. 6:10-18. Of particular note is the imperative to "take" in vs.17: "...and the sword of the Spirit, which is the WORD OF GOD." Our "weapon" for doing battle is the Word of God! Other NT verses that may be of help to you are, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and Hebrews 4:12. Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

3432 | why is anyone to blame for jesus' death | Acts 2:1 | BradK | 74996 | ||
EdB, You are right, my friend:-) I was limiting the scope of my answer to just the "national" implications of the Jews' rejection of their Messiah. However, in the larger context I absolutely agree. 1 John 2:2 says,"...and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world."

3433 | why is anyone to blame for jesus' death | Acts 2:1 | BradK | 74986 | ||
Tomanyquestions, As best I understand, neither Pilate nor Judas are directly responsible for Christs' death. They certainly could be viewed as "accomplices" in Gods' predetermined plan" though. As Judas betrayed Jesus ( John 18:13) he was responsible for handing Him over to the Roman authorities. Pilate, though he found no fault with Him, nevertheless acquiesed to the crowds' demands and handed Christ over to be crucified. ( Matt.27:11-26) To answer your question, we can look at what the apostle Peter spoke at Pentecost to the Jews,"“Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know— 23 this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death" The Jews were "pierced to the Heart.." when they heard this. (Acts 2:37) I believe we could say that "nationally' the Jews were responsible in that they rejected Him as their Messiah. Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

3434 | is baptism necessary for salvation? | 1 Pet 3:21 | BradK | 74604 | ||
uni soldier, So, are you saying that one is saved by a "work" and not faith? Would you care to clarify? Also, then what of Titus 3:5,"not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit," Without scriptural support, your words do not carry much weight:-) Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

3435 | Was Calvin just a slick lawyer? | Matt 27:3 | BradK | 74561 | ||
Forum: I offer this soley as a source, not in any way to add fuel to the fire:-) Pertinent to this discussion is what Phillip Schaff writes of Calvin and his education: "Calvin received the best education—in the humanities, law, philosophy, and theology—which France at that time could give. He studied successively in the three leading universities of Orleans, Bourges, and Paris, from 1528 to 1533, first for the priesthood, then, at the wish of his father, for the legal profession, which promised a more prosperous career." "His principal teacher in Greek and Hebrew was Melchior Volmar (Wolmar), a German humanist of Rottweil, a pupil of Lefèvre, and successively professor in the universities of Orleans and Bourges, and, at last, at Tuebingen, where he died in 1561. He openly sympathized with the Lutheran Reformation, and may have exerted some influence upon his pupil in this direction, but we have no authentic information about it. Calvin was very intimate with him, and could hardly avoid discussing with him the religious question which was then shaking all Europe. In grateful remembrance of his services he dedicated to him his Commentary on the Second Epistle to the Corinthians."

3436 | discuss filling of Spirit/tongues gift | Acts | BradK | 74490 | ||
Cajam, In reading your response I can't tell whether you're asking a question or just making a statement. Could you clarify what you mean when you say, "All of Paul teaching in 1cor. with the exception of 1cor.13:8 should not be confused with the Baptizm of the Holy Ghost spoken of in the book of Acts 1:5." What of 1 Cor. 12:13 and how does it relate? Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

3438 | Is this a prophecy about Messiah? | Gen 49:10 | BradK | 74409 | ||
TheTowns, I believe the prophecy foretold here is that the Messiah would come from the tribe of Judah. Here is some info regarding Gen. 49:10 from JFB: until Shiloh come—Shiloh—this obscure word is variously interpreted to mean “the sent” (Jn 17:3), “the seed” (Is 11:1), the “peaceable or prosperous one” (Eph 2:14)—that is, the Messiah (Is 11:10; Ro 15:12); and when He should come, “the tribe of Judah should no longer boast either an independent king or a judge of their own” [Calvin]. The Jews have been for eighteen centuries without a ruler and without a judge since Shiloh came, and “to Him the gathering of the people has been.” From Eastons Bible Dictionary, here is some additional background on Shilo: Shiloh — generally understood as denoting the Messiah, “the peaceful one,” as the word signifies (Gen. 49:10). The Vulgate Version translates the word, “he who is to be sent,” in allusion to the Messiah; the Revised Version, margin, “till he come to Shiloh;” and the LXX., “until that which is his shall come to Shiloh.” It is most simple and natural to render the expression, as in the Authorized Version, “till Shiloh come,” interpreting it as a proper name (comp. Isa. 9:6). Shiloh, a place of rest, a city of Ephraim, “on the north side of Bethel,” from which it is distant 10 miles (Judg. 21:19); the modern Seilun (the Arabic for Shiloh), a “mass of shapeless ruins.” Here the tabernacle was set up after the Conquest (Josh. 18:1–10), where it remained during all the period of the judges till the ark fell into the hands of the Philistines. “No spot in Central Palestine could be more secluded than this early sanctuary, nothing more featureless than the landscape around; so featureless, indeed, the landscape and so secluded the spot that from the time of St. Jerome till its re-discovery by Dr. Robinson in 1838 the very site was forgotten and unknown.” It is referred to by Jeremiah (7:12, 14; 26:4–9) five hundred years after its destruction." I hope this is of help, BradK |

3439 | word of knowledge and word of wisdom | 1 Cor 12:1 | BradK | 74375 | ||
Hi Yanet, I'll try to be as concise as possible. I believe you're refering to 1 Cor. 12:8, "For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit;" Paul is basically delineating some of the gifts given to individuals via the Spirit. One is given "the word of wisdom". The Greek noun "wisdom" is used 8 times by Paul with reference to the wisdom of God. I think we can get a sense of what he is saying by looking at 1 Cor.2:7-10 and Eph. 3:2-9. Next, Paul then says that to another was given "the word of knowledge". The Greek words translated wisdom and knowledge are sometimes used together, which can suggest a similarity in meaning ( Rom.11:33, Col.2:3). The word for knowledge is used to depict a knowledge of God- of which God is the source ( 2 Cor. 10:5) It is also used to portray a knowledge of Christ ( Phil.3:8, 2 Pet.3:18) Paul had this knowledge himself (2 Cor.11:6) and is also a knowledge which enables believers to admonish one another (Rom.15:14). I hope this helps:-) Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

3440 | What is sin? | Bible general Archive 1 | BradK | 74255 | ||
Brother Billy Joe: In answer to your question the definition of sin (Gr. hamartia) is "to miss the mark", or "do wrong". It could also be said that "sin" is unbelief. Biblically I feel one of the best definitions of sin is found in Romans 14:23, "But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin."
