41 | Fruitless Scripture Discussion? | 1 Tim 1:6 | humbledbyhisgrace | 206763 | ||
bowler, What your asking for is opinion and your sure to get more then one should others decide to respond :-) I'm not aware of any topic rooted in scripture that cannot be discussed. However, we do have 1 Timothy 1:4, 1 Timothy 4:7 , 1 Tim. 6:3-4, 2 Timothy 2:23, Titus 3:9 as examples of things not to do and/or to turn away from. Also, take a look at Ephesians 4:29 (NASB) 29 Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. Something interesting in this verse to me is that it speaks of a word good for the edification according to the need of the moment! Considering the fact we have a tendency to add much opinion when discussing the word, there needs to be wisdom in how we approach it (My opinion) (May the Lord give us wisdom). There may be many different things to consider. For example, some questions ask on this forum really should not be addressed especially with ones opinion with very little or no scripture to back it up. It does not mean the topic should not be discussed among the saints, but it could very well be this forum is not the place to discuss it. Some things are better left to those who are equipped to deal with and on a personal level not via a text only interface. Giving ones opinion in some matters could be extremely harmful even if that is not the intent of the person giving their opinion. In matters like these, it seems the wiser thing to do is to encourage the person to seek guidance from a local pastor or Christian counselor perhaps. They would be much better equipped by God to deal with it. Another example might be topics which tend to create controversy such as the Calvinism and Arminianism discussions. I’ve seen on this forum where some people are equipped to discuss the matter with grace and some who are not. We should be able to discuss these things among the saints, but when the saints don’t act like saints we are no longer edifying but rather turn to glorifying ourselves. So the topic becomes better left alone by some and for others well, their discussions can be edifying to others. But history shows on this text based forum this is one subject that gets out of hand quick! Sad but true! So, as you see I too have a tendency to give opinion :-) Most of us do (I think) approach things with good intentions. But it might also be wise of us to step back from time to time and realize even though we may have an understanding of something our opinions might not be the best thing to offer given the circumstances. Does that help any? Steve |

Charlie, Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! It may be with the limited details I'm not completely understanding you. But with what you have stated, if it is true your wife was saved, then why is it you think there was a better way? Is this not how God chose to draw her to Himself? Was He not glorified? Is your wife not now secured in His saving grace? Steve |

43 | Rejection means never knew? | Eph 4:3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 206098 | ||
Greetings CG!, It is indeed an interesting passage! First, in regards to your statement " I disagree that "Those who reject their salvation were never born again to begin with."For one simple reason. Only God truly knows the heart, to say you do is wrong and untrue." It is true only God and the person knows! This same truth also discounts your argument on the matter does it not? If no one knows then no one knows if they were or were not. Understand? I understand what you are saying here. But discounting the argument as you did and then using the same to validate another view is error also is it not? Looking on to the passage you say "It CLEARLY intimates, that these false teachers knew the way (Know means that they personally knew, intimately)." I'm not so sure it "CLEARLY intimates" what you are attributing to the false teachers. Taking a closer look at the passage could you explain the following. 1) Is verse 20 and 21 talking about the false teachers or is it talking about "those who barely escape from the ones who live in error" in verse 18? 2) Verse 19 seems to "CLEARLY" reveal the false teachers are "slaves of corruption". Also, where in this passage do you understand the false teachers "personally knew, intimately"? Even more, where in this chapter do you understand the false teachers "personally knew, intimately"?

45 | Evangelism in Prisons? | Matt 28:19 | humbledbyhisgrace | 205836 | ||
Tamara, I think John probably answered your question about the best anyone could unless we have someone on board here that knows the laws of every state and the federal laws regarding federal prison. I can tell you this much, I know a pastor and his wife who have a prison ministry and to my knowledge and understanding there is no restriction in regards to what they teach. I live in the state of Florida. Also, I was once a prison guard in the state of Alabama and they had no restrictions when I was there. As a matter of fact, by law we had to provide the time and place for any and all religions to practice their faith. I use to have to stand guard while the Muslims had their meetings. I was always amazed that they were allowed to because of the nature of what they were doing. I wasn't a Christian at the time and didn't even know anything about Islam. Never the less, it was obvious they were militant in everything they did. It was an interesting position to be in standing there as the only guard among a room full of Muslims who where teaching such hate and in such a militant way. I always thought if the do gooders on the outside had seen and heard what I had they would put a stop to it inside a prison. It made for a volatile situation inside the prison. Having said that and in keeping with the guide lines as some seem to be confused on the matter I offer this (John 14:6) :-) Steve |

46 | psychic vs prophet difference | Heb 1:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 205712 | ||
The difference is God spoke to the prophets! Hebrews 1:1-2 (NASB) 1:1 God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, 1:2 in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. Steve |

48 | Can Christian teach unsaved about ghost? | Bible general Archive 4 | humbledbyhisgrace | 205694 | ||
Greetings praidup! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! Consider this if you would. Do you think it wise for you to try and explain this to them without a full understanding of it yourself? I would think not. You could do much more harm then good. Take this for what it's worth. If you understood all you needed to about this subject you would not be asking this question. You would already know the answer and how to proceed. God bless, Steve |

49 | Just needing a little more insight | Col 2:18 | humbledbyhisgrace | 205307 | ||
Greetings Sandy, This comes from the Bible Knowledge Commentary and may help. "Those who turn believers from the reality in Christ to the shadow of the Law disqualify them for the prize. That is, they rob believers of their spiritual rewards. As a judge disqualifies those who turn the wrong way in a race, so believers who turn from faithfully following Christ will be “robbed” of their rewards from Him (cf. 1 Cor. 3:10-15). Some heretics who turn believers away from faithful service have a false humility, which is only “a form of godliness but denying its power” (2 Tim. 3:5) that is in Christ (Rom. 8:3-4). This artificial godliness of legalists was connected with the worship of angels which Scripture forbids (Ex. 20:3-4; cf. Rev. 22:8-9). In fact, legalism is a teaching inspired by fallen angels (1 Tim. 4:1) who as “elemental spirits” (Gal. 4:3, rsv) would bring men into slavery by their mystical meditations. These legalistic mystics dwell on what they have seen (in visions), which Paul called idle notions. This phrase may have occasioned the variant (but less preferable) translation “which he hath not seen” (kjv). Far from being humble, such a person’s unspiritual mind (lit., “the mind of the flesh”; cf., lit., “the body of the flesh,” v. 19) is puffed with pride in his visions." —Bible Knowledge Commentary Steve |

TK, There is only One Creator! (Genesis 1) One Spirit, One Lord, One God and Father. Ephesians 4:4-6 (NASB) 4:4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 4:6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.

54 | Swine possessed by demons | Luke 8:33 | humbledbyhisgrace | 203544 | ||
Hi allanm, Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! Scripture does not say they were released to possess someone else. To my knowledge, scripture does not give us reason to believe that they were. Considering they were commanded by the Lord and sent into the swine I see no reason to believe they have the power to do other then what the Lord commanded them to do. Steve |

60 | total prosperity | Rom 10:9 | humbledbyhisgrace | 202879 | ||
lalah, It gets no better then this! Romans 10:9-10 (NASB) 9 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; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. John 1:12-13 (NASB) 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. What else could anyone ask for? Steve |
