4843 | searching for the truth | Matt 7:15 | DocTrinsograce | 126952 | ||
Look at every reference in scripture, than work these things out yourself. Like this... Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (Mat 7:15) Clearly they look like believers, but only come to steel and destroy. (See Jesus parable of the theif.) And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. (Mat 24:11) There will be lots of them, and lots of people will believe them. What they espouse is deceit. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (Mat 24:24) They will assume the identify of Christ. They will be able to perform some powerful and convincing stuff. A lot of otherwise level headed believers may be caught up in their false teachings. For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possibble, even the elect. (Mar 13:22) Their teachings will be seductive and plausable. Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. (Luk 6:26) If the majority of folks are praising someone, and you hear very little criticism, watch out! This is a curse, not a blessing. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. (2Pe 2:1) They will be throughout the world and the church. They will introduce apostacy and error. They will even deny the Lord they pretend to serve. Ultimately, they have their part with the reprobate. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. (1Jo 4:1) We need to be less trusting, and more skeptical. We need to question and observe, discerningly judging if a man is truly of the faith or not. |

4844 | Why not? | OT general | DocTrinsograce | 126948 | ||
I really wanted to answer "Just because." But I'm laconically lacking! :-) Besides, this is also a topic that I can speak about with a bit of educational experience and authority. So how could I resist? There is no extra-Biblical evidence to suggest that the solar year has detectably changed in the last 50 million years (if you are an old earther) or in the last 10 thousand plus years (if you are a young earther). This is not true of the length of the day (diurnal period). However, the diurnal period has changed by so small an amount -- since the time of Noah -- as to be imperceptible to humans. In fact, this change would be unmeasurable without sophisticated laser ranging techniques. I am not aware of any scriptural evidence for a change in either the length of day or length of year. |

4845 | Where is God? | Bible general Archive 2 | DocTrinsograce | 126925 | ||
Dear Schoolman, pray and continue to read the Word. Ask God to show you clearly if you belong to Him. Remember that truth is not dependent on feelings. For example, I know that the earth orbits around the sun, but it sure feels like the sun moves across the sky. In the context of faith, if God says it (i.e., it is revealed in the Canon of Scripture), that settles it. Period. I don't have to agree to make it true, let alone "feel" it. Also stop thinking "what good is it?" We do not believe the truth because of benefits that we derive from doing so. We believe the truth because it is the truth. Pragmatism, though common enough in the world and even in American churches, is not scriptural. As Job said, "Though He slay me, yet will I serve Him!" We have but one hope. I will intercede on your behalf, Schoolman, to the God Who created us. |

4846 | Lucifer, Satan, Devil? | Is 14:12 | DocTrinsograce | 126852 | ||
Hi, Ancient. I wasn't arguing with you. The KJV, in today's terms, would be considered Politicaly Correct. Some interpretations where allowed to remain simply because they were so familiar and had crept into the language over time. Others were imposed to add authenticity to existing traditions. I suspect that the "Lucifer" thing was one of the former. Thank you for your insights. | ||||||
4847 | What is the kingdom of God ? | Matt 6:33 | DocTrinsograce | 126851 | ||
The central theme of the Bible is the redemptive power of God. This power has its ultimate manifestation in the life, death, resurection, and exaltation, of Jesus Christ. (Note that "kingdom of God" and "kingdom of heaven" are synonomous terms.) In the OT the kingdom of God was much anticipated. By the time of Christ, John the Baptist could say, the kingdom of God is at hand. Christ would declare that the kingdom of God had arrived. A good exercise for you would be to look at every statement in scripture that contain these phrases. Look them up on the computer. Read their context fully. Write down everything you learn about this term. To understand anything in scripture, one must understand everything that scripture has to say about it. |

4849 | This post is restricted. What gives? | Bible general Archive 2 | DocTrinsograce | 126809 | ||
I wonder if we can deduce what words trigger restrictedness? How much you want to bet they include words that our early Scotish, Dutch, English, or Colonial forebears used with regularity? :-) Oops, sorry, I don't gamble. :-) | ||||||
4850 | Skeletons of evolution? False? | Genesis | DocTrinsograce | 126790 | ||
I have to admit waffling on this issue myself. There is a web site "Reasons to Believe" that represents a ministry by Doctor Hugh Ross, an astronomer. He handles the "old earth" position compromise to the Word. On the other hand, I've heard some pretty good arguments by "young earthers." Either way, what an awsome God we have! | ||||||
4851 | Why did Israel stop resting land? | Jer 29:10 | DocTrinsograce | 126789 | ||
What Ed says sounds right. Another possibility might simply be the expense. Failing to realize that resting land returns nitrogen to the soil, producing better crops later on, it was just too much of an expense to them to let the ground lay fallow. We're all awful good at justifying away what hurts our pocketbooks. | ||||||
4852 | Richness, treasure in God is defined as? | Luke 12:21 | DocTrinsograce | 126783 | ||
John Gill comments on this, "in spiritual things, in faith, and in good works; and is not concerned to lay up a treasure in heaven, to have an interest in durable riches and righteousness; whereas one that is rich towards God, acknowledges that he receives all his riches from God, as the Ethiopic version reads; he gives up all into the hands of God, depends upon his providence for the increase, security, and continuance of it; and uses it to his honour and glory, and for the good of his interest; and is chiefly concerned for the riches of grace and glory; and enjoys much of God, and places all his riches in him: such a man is a wise man, but the reverse of this is the fool in the parable." I can't imagine saying it better! | ||||||
4853 | Where is "converse with dead" scripture? | Deut 18:11 | DocTrinsograce | 126782 | ||
The Biblical term for this is necromancy. In addition to the command in the above verses, see also 1 Samuel 28:3-20, 2 Chronicles 10:13, 14, and Isaiah 8:19-22. Remember that Satan can perform seeming "miracles" (Exodus 7:9-12; 8:7, 17-19, Deut 13:1-5, Mat 24:24, Mark 13:22, 2 Thess 2:9, Rev 13:13-14, 16:14; 19:20) I am sorry for your loss. God bless you both. |

4855 | how can one hold a grudge and be blessed | Luke 16:25 | DocTrinsograce | 126779 | ||
Scripture does not promise material prosperity in exchange for righteous behavior. If that were true, then Christ in His life would not have been poor. We obey God not for what we get out of it, but because He is Who He is. | ||||||
4856 | Allegory? | Bible general Archive 2 | DocTrinsograce | 126772 | ||
Forgive me for jumping in here. On what basis or authority do you conclude that "the Author of Hebrews uses the creation account as allegory?" The text does not explictly state that it is being allegorical. The commentators that I have access to do not look at it this way. The orthodox position, so far as I can discern, does not state this. There are no other Biblical sources that point us to this conclusion. On what do you base this conclusion, please? |

4857 | Is human nature Godly | Mark 7:21 | DocTrinsograce | 126644 | ||
Rom 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Psa 53:3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Psa 53:3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Ecc 9:3 This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Rom 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. Mat 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: Mar 7:21-23 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: all these evil things come from within, and defile the man. Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 2 Pet 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: Gen 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. |

4858 | Things people THINK in the BIBLE but not | Bible general Archive 2 | DocTrinsograce | 126636 | ||
False things people think are in the Bible... Delilah cut Samson's hair. Noah took only two of every kind of animal. The Four Gospels were all written by disciples. That there was fire on the heads of people at Pentecost. That water was only parted once in the Bible. That Ishmael and Isaac were only a couple of years different in age. That the tower of Babbel was built with normal bricks. That David picked up only one rock for Goliath. |
