41 | Job DID charge God foolishly? | Job 1:22 | Baptistbred | 46583 | ||
Hello Lionsrong. I don't think we are going to come to full agreement here. This is one of those "pits" of dicussion that get deeper and deeper. I admit Job was "perfect before God" , but I also insist that he stated things about God's character that even God rebuked him for. Why didn't God agree with him? Because God DISAGREED. Why does anyone rebuke anyone else? Because they are wrong. If Job was only defending his own righteousness, then why did God say "wilt thou condemn me?". This is hairsplitting. Job was not innocent, God was not guilty. These things we know. All else could be endlessly debated. Grace to you |

42 | Job DID charge God foolishly? | Job 1:22 | Baptistbred | 46422 | ||
Dear Bro. Lionstrong. This is a profitable discussion and I believe can help both of us. I believe Job 40:7-8 taken together with 42:6 shows that God reproves Job of false accusation and Job reponds with repentance. The word condemn in 40:8 is translated "wicked or wickedly" 4 times in the book of Job alone.Notice also that God's vindication of Job in 42:7 came just after Job's repentance in 42:6. I believe the root issue is here is the soveriegnty of God. Ultimately God can do anything He wants to do regardless of what we think or if we understand it or not. The truth is is that every single one of us could be severely rebuked by God even at times that we are closest in our walk with Him. So saying that Job did not charge God foolishly is to say that we know exactly why God rebuked him, which we don't. |

Your welcome Makarios. God forbid that I should ever sear my conscience to the point of masturbating with no guilt. God lets us feel guilt for a reason.Keep living for God! Lam.3:22-23 |

44 | NIV comments? | Psalm | Baptistbred | 46230 | ||
Psalms 199:89 In the last few months I have spent many hundreds of hours researching the bible version issue. All my life 99 percent of the Christians I have associated with have been KJV only.Few have done any research on WHY they believe this so I did my own research. To answer your question, the NIV is based on a different text than the KJV so there are many TEXTUAL differences even before the translation itself comes into play. The NIV is based on the same text as the Nasb and most modern versions. Is it the best text? That is a matter of opinion. I will be quite honest, no one has convinced me that either text is "better" than the other. Let's say the Alexandrian type Text (NiV, Nasb) is the best text.(The KJV is from the Textus Receptus). I do not believe the NIV is even the best translation from this text. It tends to be too interpretive in places and paraphrases often. Now, any bible read and studied diligently is a "good bible", but if one wants the most accurate translation of an ancient bible text, I recommend the NKJV,NASB, and Green's Literal Bible. (KJV is an exellent translation and anyone does well to study and be happy with it, but if one wants a bible in a more up to date english, I reccomend the above versions. I am used to the language of the KJV and love it, but often consult other versions.)Sad to say, this issue will rage indefinitely but just keep loving God's word and if your conscience won't allow you to use another version right now, don't! |

45 | Proof of wrong spirit vs. Holy Spirit | Matthew | Baptistbred | 46222 | ||
I feel for your situation. I believe the true Holy Spirit must do the revealing to him. I believe the references I have suggested are ultimately the only answer to anyone who is a skeptic to the things of Christ. Matt. 16:13-17. (Specifically verse 17) | ||||||
46 | 2 followups, masturbation and 1Cor7:2-5 | Bible general Archive 1 | Baptistbred | 46218 | ||
I want to say I appreciate your notes on this and agree. I am single and 35, never married, and in full time Christian work. I am so weary of men trying to sanction this action by all kinds of reasons. It is lust of the flesh as you(and God's Word)have stated, and should be resisted by walking in the spirit. I believe when one comes to the point that he thinks this is NOT a sin, he opens a door for increased temptation. It will also "cool off" one's fellowship with God. | ||||||
47 | Job DID charge God foolishly? | Job 1:22 | Baptistbred | 45739 | ||
Dear Lionstrong, I appreciate very much your comments, but after further contemplation I just cannot bring myself to think of God as lauphing at the innocent after they have been "killed by a scourge". As I have said before,I am a believer in the soverienty of God and study from Calvin daily, but I must agree with Morant61 on this one. In Christian love. |

48 | how can we loose our salvation. | John 10:28 | Baptistbred | 45722 | ||
I must insert here solid scripture on eternal security. Romans 8:29-30. There is an unbroken link between predestinate, and glorified. | ||||||
49 | Go and sin no more? | John | Baptistbred | 45721 | ||
I would recommend a simple, but very good book on understanding the manuscript differences and bible version differences. Click this link: http://www.dtl.org/books/preview/dbbv.htm | ||||||
50 | what happened to the tree of knowledge? | Gen 2:9 | Baptistbred | 45719 | ||
I believe it was made subject to the sin curse with the rest of creation.Romans 8:20 | ||||||
51 | Job DID charge God foolishly? | Job 1:22 | Baptistbred | 45718 | ||
This is also a very good and true observation. I fully acknowledge the soveriegnty of God. So I believe yours and Morant61's answers to be relevant. | ||||||
52 | what is speaking in tongues? | 1 Corinthians | Baptistbred | 45702 | ||
Hello EW, I would recommend "Charismatic Chaos" by John MacArthur. His approach is somewhat brash, but it is the most thorough dealing with the subject of late I have read. | ||||||
53 | Job DID charge God foolishly? | Job 1:22 | Baptistbred | 45489 | ||
Thanks for the response. I suspected this, but I must say that the best commentators seem to apply 1:22 and 2:10 to ALL of Job's statements, although I fully agree with you. I think the statements in these verses are just too good to pass up when teaching on being thankful for trials.We are to be thankful, but the bible is not teaching that Job never once sinned with his lips right? |

54 | Job DID charge God foolishly? | Not Specified | Baptistbred | 45473 | ||
Will someone please help reconcile Job 1:22 and 2:10 with Job 9:22-24? All my many commentaries often quote 1:22 in commendation of Job, but never fully explain the verses in chapter 9, or explain why God rebuked Job in the latter chapters of the book if Job sinned not with His lips or charged God foolishly. | ||||||

56 | Do people die before their time? | Bible general Archive 1 | Baptistbred | 40743 | ||
Some interesting scriptures. Psalms 55:23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee. John 7:8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come. John 7:30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. Ecc. 7:17 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? |

57 | gap between Gensis 1:1 and Gensis 1:2 | Gen 1:1 | Baptistbred | 40603 | ||
I tend not to believe in the gap theory. Why? #1. God called His COMPLETED creation "very good" in Gen. 1:31 which would not be true if evil had entered the universe at that time. #2. Death came by Adam (1 cor. 15.21), so destruction and death could not have occurred previous to Adam' fall into sin. |

58 | Babies, born in sin? | Rom 7:9 | Baptistbred | 40600 | ||
As I see it, sin having revived, had to be present, although it was dead.It was still there. Ro. 7:8 |

59 | Limited atonement | Bible general Archive 1 | Baptistbred | 40595 | ||
Thanks, I believe this also. I was another bible study forum where someone was railing against that doctrine. Do you believe Romans 5:18 disproves the doctrine of limited atonement? |
