3981 | Church Age? | Acts 2:17 | kalos | 4031 | ||
My dear friend: No need to apologize really. I wasn't offended. Thank you for your reply. My original intent in my posting, "The church is commonly defined as being...", was not to enter the debate. It was merely to define terms, to add a bit of clarification or background information. Respectfully yours, JHV0212 | ||||||
3982 | Church Age? | Acts 2:17 | kalos | 4021 | ||
I'm not arguing all that -- what you pointed out in your posting. My original comment merely cited the common definition of the church ("body of Christ"). I didn't say I agreed or disagreed with it. | ||||||
3983 | Church Age? | Acts 2:17 | kalos | 4011 | ||
The church is commonly defined as being made up of all saints who were saved between the Day of Pentecost(Acts 2) and the Rapture. (Reference available upon request.) | ||||||

Dear JRM: Thank you for your posting. I commend you on trying to make sure what you are being taught is the word of God and not the opinion from the man of God. . . . As soon as I read your reply, I thought of an excellent, plain English, teaching on the subject of rightly interpreting the Bible. I first discovered it about 3 years ago. I have read and re-read it, and have presented the teaching to adult Bible classes. Please take the time to read and/or listen to it. You'll be glad you did. Here are the directions telling how to find the teaching online, both for listening to and reading it. . . . TO READ OR PRINT IT: 1) Go to the website at www.gty.org 2) Click on "transcripts". 3) Scroll down. 4) Click on "How to Study Your Bible: Interpretation". . . . Note: "How to Study Your Bible: Interpretation" is listed along with the date, April 26 and 27, 2001. . . . TO LISTEN TO IT: 1) At the www.gty.org website, click on "listen now". 2) Click on "broadcast archives". 3) Click on "How to Study Your Bible: Interpretation". . . . If I were reading it for the first time, I would print it out, highlight it, make notes in the margins, etc. Then I would listen to it on the website and follow along by reading the printed text. Hope you find this recommendation helpful. I believe you will. Take care! JVH0212 |

3986 | What is the Holy Spirit? | Bible general Archive 1 | kalos | 3955 | ||
That was some clarification of the Holy Spirit. Only 3 "things" in heaven, the Father, the son and the angles? And maybe satan? My only question is: For your opinion could you cite chapter and verse please? CHAPTER AND VERSE. | ||||||
3987 | Who's sinning? | Col 3:9 | kalos | 3954 | ||
Someone writes: "The only sin that Christ didn't pay for is the sin of unbelief....sin of unbelief. That is the one sin that MUST be repented of... That sin, unbelief in Christ, cannot be forgiven, it must be repented of." . . . It is not clear to me who wrote the above question. . . . Whoever wrote it, you are very much mistaken to say that there is a sin that Christ didn't pay for. There is not one sin that Christ did not pay for. To say or imply otherwise borders on blasphemy. . . . Then to say: "That sin cannot be forgiven, it must be repented of." Repentance and confession are always required and go together with forgiveness. To say it's either forgiveness or repentance makes no sense, neither biblically nor in any other way. . . . We need to take great care when we word our questions and comments concerning God's Word and the atonement of Christ. Carelessness can lead to erroneous statements that could confuse Christians and deceive non-Christians. . . . To summarize, 1) Christ's death on the cross paid for every sin, not every sin but the sin of unbelief. 2) To make forgiveness and repentance opposites, to make them two mutually exclusive things, is confusing and not true. 3) No matter what the sin, repentance is required before forgiveness can be granted. 4) Unbelief is NOT the "one" sin that must be repented of. Every sin must be repented of. . . . Then you write: "You must change your mind about who Christ is. This is the illusive 'unpardonable sin.'" . . . "This is the illusive 'unpardonable sin.'" No, it isn't. It is not. The only unpardonable sin Jesus ever labeled as such is the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. That is, ascribing to Satan the work or activities of the Holy Spirit. Who are we to ignore what Jesus clearly taught about the unpardonable sin and then make up our own definitions? One last thing: I have no personal animosity toward you. I strongly disagree with what you wrote. But I value you as a brother Christian who apparently loves the Word and is doing his best to understand it, as we all are. |

3989 | 1Corinthians questions: Gifts and women | 1 Corinthians | kalos | 3930 | ||
You write: if one was to preach from Genesis to Revelations would one find "tongues" to be super important or the Lord Jesus Christ? . . . Likewise, if one were to preach from Genesis to Revelation would one find women keeping silent in the church/long hair on women to be super important or the Lord Jesus Christ? |

3990 | Textual evidence from Genesis 6:4 | Gen 6:4 | kalos | 3912 | ||
Hi, Nolan! Good to hear from you. Not to dispute with you, but for the sake of clarification, may I say: 1) What I meant was that the events of Job probably occurred around the time of Abraham, 500 years BEFORE Moses. So Abraham (2000 B.C.), not Moses (1500 B.C.), was probably a contemporary of Job. . . . 2) There is no hard evidence on which to base the assumption that Moses was long since dead by the time of the writing of the book of Job. Moses may have been the author and, timewise, could have been the author of Job, though there is no evidence that Moses WAS the author of Job. It could have been someone else. Nowhere in Job does it tell us who the author was. When I looked it up, I found it also could have been Solomon (approx. 1,000 B.C.). . . . 3) I agree with you: it is possible that Moses and the author of Job are two different people. . . . 4) I agree with you, "That the same word used by Moses in Genesis 6:4 for 'sons' *could* be used by the author of Job in Job 1:6 to refer to angels." . . . 5) Please consider the following: "Gen 6:1-4 *sons of God.* The 'sons of God' may mean God's created, supernatural beings, who were no longer godly in character (6.3). Some commentators believe, however, that this expression refers to the 'godly line' of Seth and that 'daughters of humans' (v. 4 in the NRSV) refer to women from the line of Cain. Most likely the phrase refers to those descendants of Seth who trusted in the Lord but whose children intermarried with women descended from Cain. Those marriages were not with angels then, but between godly and ungodly human families. ANGELS NEITHER MARRY NOR ARE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE (emphasis by caps are mine) (Mt 22:30), so that this verse hardly applies to them. ... *Nephilim* are strong, violent, tyrannous men of great wickedness. It may well be that the explanation of these verses has been lost to us." (NRSV Harper Study Bible, Harold Lindsell, Ph.D., D.D., Grand Rapids, Michigan: Zondervan, 1991) . . . Again, my intent is to clarify my position, not to PROVE that I have the one right answer. If I knew for certain who wrote Job and who the sons of God in Gen 6:4 were, would I being hanging out at the Forum on a Tuesday morning? :-) |

3992 | why did God create the world | Gen 1:1 | kalos | 3887 | ||
You write: "Since God does whatever he pleases, then one answer is that God created the world because it pleased him to do so. " . . . Yours is the "right" answer! I believe that is as close as we get to a Biblical reason for why God created the earth, "according to the good pleasure which He purposed in Him." . . . However, my understanding of what Eph 3:8-10 says and means is not the same as yours. My understanding is that it says: "to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ . . . so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places." . . . In other words, Paul is writing that he preaches to the Gentiles the riches of Christ with the result that the wisdom of God might now be made known. . . . This is not the same as your understanding, if I understand you correctly, where you imply that God created all things so that the wisdom of God might now be made known. Not to quibble over words, but the Creation in and of itself does not make known the wisdom of God, including the gospel of Christ. However, preaching the riches of Christ does make known the wisdom of God, including the gospel of Christ. . . . Again, my brother, I assure you that I neither intend to be quarrelsome nor unkind. I merely point out the difference in interpretation between the two of us. Thank you for a good posting. God bless, JVH0212 |

3993 | who did cain marry? | Gen 1:1 | kalos | 3829 | ||
This Forum receives many speculative questions -- those that speculate over matters on which the Bible is silent. Mark Twain is quoted as saying: "It's not the parts of the Bible I don't understand that give me trouble. It's the parts I do understand." | ||||||

No, that is NOT why He created it. That's why He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Don't read something into the verse that isn't there. | ||||||

3998 | You shall not Murder, then told too?? | OT general | kalos | 3782 | ||
You have done well in providing a Scripture reference that, under the Old Testament period of the Law (the period in which Jesus had his earthly ministry), indeed condoned carrying a lethal weapon. As much as I do appreciate your answer, I'm not sure it is the definitive answer that applies to the NT era of Grace as opposed to Law. For example, after the resurrection and ascension of Christ into heaven, is there a clear verse of Scripture to indicate that any or all the Apostles carried or used lethal weapons? | ||||||
3999 | Bible and evolution both? | Gen 1:1 | kalos | 3780 | ||
I see your answer to Hank's question, "Bible and evolution both?", includes not one Scripture reference to support it. Sir, this is a "StudyBibleForum." It is not a free-form discussion group or rap session. . . Are you saying that the mule is a product of evolution? Mules don't even reproduce, so how can they be an example of evolution? |

4000 | why did God create the world | Gen 1:1 | kalos | 3778 | ||
Can anyone show me a clear verse of Scripture anywhere in Genesis that gives us the reason WHY God created the world. I don't think you'll find one. In the frequent attempts to anwer this question, I see a lot of speculation, but little, if any, Scripture references to support the views given. | ||||||
