4221 | WHO DID CHRIST DIE FOR ?????? | Revelation | Hank | 96394 | ||
Now, now, Darcy, rest easy! In trying to deal with your correspondent, you must remember you have entered the twilight zone of semantics where world does not mean world, all does not mean all, whosoever means the chosen few, and everyone means everyone of the elect. Someone once asked Charles Spurgeon why he didn't preach more to the elect. Said Spurgeon, "Mark them so I'll know who they are and I'll be happy to preach to them." Calvinists like to claim this prince of preachers, Spurgeon, as their own, but in his mature years he confessed, "I am a very bad Calvinist. I long for the day when the elect will be the whole world." --Hank | ||||||

No, no, Darcy, I'm no Calvinist. The "correspondent" I referred to was not I! --Hank | ||||||

humpy - Friend, I don't base my theological views on counting verses; and I won't count verses with you. I refuse to list on one side of the ledger sheet the verses that reveal that God loves the world and have you list on the other side of the ledger the verses you interpret to mean that God hates most of it. This fatuous and inane approach to Scripture will profit nothing for you, for me, or for anyone. --Hank | ||||||

Humpy Dumpy sat on the wall ....... Humpy Dumpy had the great gall ....... To teach that God said, after man's fall ....... "World, I hate most of you all." --Hank | ||||||

abcgum5: The web site in question is bogus all right, but for far more reasons that merely because it names dates of future events. It's an amalgum of New Age lies, astrology, mythology, the Oracles of Nostradamus, etc. with a little Scripture thrown into the mad mix ostensibly to give it the appearance of credibility. ...... As I skimmed through this wildly assorted witches' brew of misinformation and fantasy, I was struck by the similarity of its contents with the witches' cauldron in Act IV, Scene 1 of Shakespeare's MACBETH: "Fillet of fenny snake, in the cauldron boil and bake. Eye of newt and toe of frog, wool of bat and tongue of dog, adder's fork, and blind worm's sting, lizard's leg, and howlet's wing, for a charm of powerful trouble, like a hell-broth, boil and bubble. Double, double toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble." ...... As Doc has said on this thread about the web site, it was obviously put together by a fruitcake -- or brewed up by a witch! :-) --Hank | ||||||
4226 | Revelation --- easily to understand!??? | Revelation | Hank | 151018 | ||
abcgum5: Well, yes, Doc did mention fruitcake before I did, but in this instance he didn't entertain you with quotes from Shakespeare like I did :-) I should at least get honorable mention for that :-). I'm poking fun of course, and feel constrained to confess that I can't run fast enough to keep up with the wit and wisdom, not to mention the sound Bible exegeses, that the erudite Doc contributes in generous measure to Study Bible Forum. .... And thanks to you also for your comments! --Hank | ||||||

RC - Just to "clear the decks" so to speak, there are four statements with which every registrant acknowledges agreement every time he submits a post. The first of those four statements is, "This post is biblically based and WHENEVER POSSIBLE (emphasis mine), I have included Bible references to support it." This applies to every post and to every registrant who enters a post. Since this is a web site dedicated to Bible study, it goes without saying that users are expected to support their theological/doctrinal positions with adequate scriptural proof without being asked. The Forum has changed somewhat since your former association with it several years ago, and you may find that the guidelines are more closely observed. Things tended to get a bit loosey-goosey back when the Forum was young, but measures have been taken to make this a more orderly Forum, a better-behaved one, and, it is hoped, one that is more useful and trustworthy. --Hank | ||||||

Thank you, RC. I appreciate your fine attitude exemplified by your willingness to follow Forum guidelines closely. --Hank | ||||||
4229 | who are the 144000 | Revelation | Hank | 192007 | ||
Ah, please, Doc, couldn't you give us at least the first 144 names? :-) Abbreviate if you must; e.g., Beauregard Peoples could be listed as Bo Beep, etc. --Hank | ||||||
4230 | Morning (or Day) Star: Lucifer or JESUS? | Revelation | Hank | 194268 | ||
starfire :: Hello! This note has nothing to do with the note to which it is attached but concerns your user profile, a.k.a., personal profile. In it you expressed a desire to find a study Bible with copious notes. A solid one that fits the description is John MacArthur's Study Bible. It's now available in both the New King James and the New American Standard. Of the eight study Bibles in my library, the MacArthur gets the most use. Another one you may wish to sample is the Ryrie Study Bible. It's available in the NASB also, as well as KJV and NIV. Mine is in NASB. Good to have you on SBF! --Hank | ||||||

Hello, Michael :: Your note intended for starfire was directed to me. So that starfire will be alerted to your response, it will be necessary to attach your follow-up note to one of her posts. Anyway, good to hear from you. The Thompson Chain is an old stand-by and still one of the best for topical studies. I still use mine on occasion but have discovered that the older I get the more the type font size shrinks! But then I'm nearly twice your age. ......I note that you live in southern Georgia. Years ago I used to do some insurance consulting work in Georgia, chiefly in the Atlanta and Albany areas. I love your state, especially the southern part. I found the southern Georgia accent very charming. --Hank | ||||||

Truthfinder: In Post 88022 you referred to the Holy Spirit ("holy spirit" in your post) as God's "active force." Please show me where Scripture refers to the Holy Spirit as an active force. Scripture uses the personal pronoun "He" -- not "it" in reference to the Holy Spirit. Isn't it becoming burdersome to you to be wrong so much of the time? :-) --Hank | ||||||
4233 | KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS? | Rev 1:1 | Hank | 94825 | ||
Warm greetings, Pastor Glenn. It is one of the darkest, most puzzling mysteries of life how susceptible men are to deception, particularly in the realm of religious belief and practice. I've seen reasonably bright and rational people, shrewd in business and other practical matters, taken in by various religious crack-pots who promised health and wealth, or offered a new gospel or a watered-down one, or who, using various other schemes, tickled their itching ears. While many of the leaders of these unorthodox groups are taking in big bucks, the followers are merely being taken in. --Hank | ||||||
4234 | KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS? | Rev 1:1 | Hank | 94840 | ||
Truthfinder, for starters you could answer my question that asked where does the Bible call the Holy Spirit God's 'active force.' That's one of your "inaccuracies." Another is your continued denial of the full deity of Jesus Christ. This, of course, brings us to your denial of the orthodox doctrine of the Triunity of God. That would be strike three, and if this were baseball we're playing, you'd be out. But this isn't baseball. It's infinitely more serious than baseball, and as far as I can analyze the situation, you still have three strikes against you, and I see no viable defense that you have made that would persuade the Umpire from calling you out. --Hank | ||||||

Truthfinder, my wordy friend, how verbose thou art tonight! I'm ill prepared to face so formidable a task as responding to your three-post thesis would engender, so I shall set it aside for future digestion and an ensuing response. Now I know better than to ask you the time of day unless I'm prepared to absorb a copious analytical analysis of the art and craft of watchmaking :-) Till later, I remain a somewhat sleepy --Hank | ||||||
4236 | KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS? | Rev 1:1 | Hank | 94964 | ||
Truthfinder -- To you, and to all, a very pleasant good night :-) --Hank | ||||||
4237 | KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS? | Rev 1:1 | Hank | 95185 | ||
Dear Truthfinder -- As I promised you on Saturday evening, I have read (and digested to the best of my ability) your tripartite post on the Trinity. As you already know, I hold to the doctrine of the Triunity and thus do not and cannot agree with your conclusions. I freely confess that I am not a trained theologian (but you know that!), and therefore feel that any attempt of mine to tread in such deep theological waters and to prepare a line-by-line response would do injustice to you and drown me. But for your painstaking efforts to set down your beliefs and for your honesty and forthrightness in stating your position without attacking mine, I sincerely thank you. With praise to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, I remain, yours truly --Hank | ||||||
4238 | 3 versus 5 crucified | Rev 1:1 | Hank | 110767 | ||
Crystal - It is always good to cite your sources on Study Bible Forum. Your roster of how the Apostles died does not come from Scripture itself. .... And as for your declaration, "Our livers (sic) are predestined" I must say that that is a novel thought. I'm still having difficulty believing that our lives are predestined and am not quite prepared to tackle just yet the question about the disposition of our livers. :-) ..... Crystal, welcome among us and I'm kidding you about your "livers" typo, of course. --Hank | ||||||
4239 | Christ Jesus testimony / Red writing | Rev 1:1 | Hank | 141911 | ||
Being more than willing to agree wholeheartedly that the "red writing" are words that came from God, I would submit that the "black writing" from Geneis to Revelation also came from God in no less measure than the "red writing" did. Do you agree? Why or why not? --Hank | ||||||
4240 | Christ Jesus testimony / Red writing | Rev 1:1 | Hank | 142055 | ||
tduplechain - Come now, surely you don't expect any reasonable person to believe what you are saying about the "red writing." What you are saying about the "red writing" is as much of a fictional fairy tale as "Red Riding Hood"! The third sentence of the Bible is a direct quote from God: "Then God said, 'Let there be light.'" [Genesis 1:3]. God Himself likewise spoke the words of the Ten Commandments. He spoke directly to Moses from the burning bush, and to Job, and to Jonah, and so on throughout the Old Testament. Therefore to say that the "red writing" of the New Testament "carries more weight" than God's direct words in the rest of Scripture is perfectly ridiculous. There is neither an ounce of proof nor an ounce of truth in what you say. Please, let's get off this silly and pointless harlequinade and on to something that makes at least a modicum of sense. It wouldn't hurt a bit for you to review the aims and guidelines of this Forum before proceeding any further. --Hank | ||||||
