63 | Does God Need us like we need Him? | Acts 17:25 | BradK | 231234 | ||
Hi Christy, I'd echo Doc's comments. Keep in mind, the major problem with this theology of Kenneth Hagin is it exalts man and places God in subjection to us! It denies- if not outright- the Sovereignty of God and is therefore man-centered, not God-centered! It is not Biblical in it's foundations. As A.W. Pink so eloquently comments is his work, The Attributes of God, "God is solitary in His excellency. "Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like Thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?" (Ex. 15:11). God was under no constraint, no obligation, no necessity to create. That He chose to do so was purely a sovereign act on His part, caused by nothing outside Himself, determined by nothing but His own mere good pleasure; for He "worketh all things after the counsel of His own will" (Eph. 1:11). That He did create was simply for His manifestative glory. God is no gainer even from our worship. He was in no need of that external glory of His grace which arises from His redeemed, for He is glorious enough in Himself without that. At the end of Romans 11, where the apostle brings to a close his long argument on salvation by pure and sovereign grace, he asks, "For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been His counsellor? Or who hath first given to Him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?" (vv. 34,35). The force of this is, it is impossible to bring the Almighty under obligations to the creature; God gains nothing from us." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

64 | What say you? Matthew 28:19/Acts 2:38 | Acts 2:38 | BradK | 231062 | ||
Hi Sheila, I'm not sure what people thinks about these 2 different verses? The contexts are quite different. You appear to be confusing God's nature and taking a Jesus-only Oneness view? Orthodoxy clearly affirms that there is One God, in three separate persons, not Jesus manifesting Himself as the Father and Holy Spirit! The Athanasian Creed says this (in part): "The Father eternal, the Son eternal, and the Holy Spirit eternal. And yet they are not three eternals, but one Eternal. As also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three uncreated, but one Uncreated, and one Incomprehensible. So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty, and the Holy Spirit Almighty. And yet they are not three almighties, but one Almighty. So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. And yet they are not three gods, but one God. So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord, and the Holy Spirit Lord. And yet not three lords, but one Lord." What church do you fellowship at and what leads you to this conclusion?

66 | the TNIV and the "new" NIV | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 230690 | ||
Hello justme, Interesting question you pose. As I've mentioned before, I have one of the few known copies of the TNIV:-) I bought it for reference several years back. It did not sell well, and, as you noted, was discontinued from being published. I was not a fan of it per se (nor the original NIV) as I prefer more literal translations. The biggest criticism (from scholars) of it was due to it's supposed intent on being "gender-neutral". Though the TNIV translation committee may have denied it, this attempt really came out of feminist ideology (IMO). I have not read the new NIV, though I have it on my Logos4 software. I still much prefer the NASB, the NKJV- and more recently the ESV. That being said, Dr. Dan Wallace of DTS, has given a surprisingly favorable review of the new NIV. He is Professor of NT Studies and a noted textual critic, so his comments are not without merit! It is a 4-part review and may be worth your reading. I found it both informative and quite interesting. You can read the review at this link: http://www.reclaimingthemind.org/blog/category/dan-wallace-contra-mundane/. I hope this is of some help, BradK |

68 | What is the gospel? | 1 Cor 15:1 | BradK | 230604 | ||
Hello tmkperez, Simply put, the gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ died for our sins. One of the most concise statements of this is found in 1 Cor. 15:1-4 1 Cor 15:1, "Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, 1 Cor 15:2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. 1 Cor 15:3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 1 Cor 15:4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures," (NASB) Best wishes for a Happy New Year, BradK |

70 | the Holy Spirit is a pledge of our inher | Eph 1:13 | BradK | 230579 | ||
Hello Curt, Good question. Here's the relevant verses from the NASB: Eph 1:13, "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, Eph 1:14, "who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory." In the larger context, it's refering to our (gospel of) salvation- which was 'sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise' Specifically, the Holy Spirit is the 'pledge (or earnest) of our inheritance'. The bestowal of the Holy Spirit is God's part-payment of all the "components" of the salvation he gives us believing sinners. Salvation essentially consists in three parts, justification, sanctification and glorification. We, as believers have the first two parts now- we have been justified and sanctified (Rom. 5:1, 1 Cor. 6:11). Glorification is the (final) act of God transforming our present bodies into perfect, sinless, eternal bodies. As Wuest notes, "The Holy Spirit, indwelling the believer, is God’s earnest money, guaranteeing to him the future glorification of his body." (cf Rom. 8:30) [Wuest, K. S. (1997). Wuest's word studies from the Greek New Testament] Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

74 | Who were the magi or wise men? | Matt 2:1 | BradK | 230508 | ||
Hello carrielynn, Good question. Here's some answers from my good brother and bible teacher, Dr. James Raiford in his December 2011 article, "The First Christmas Gifts": CALLED MAGI, MATTHEW 2:1a. Magi were a special well known class of wise men within Israel and also from the Gentile nations. They were not simpletons and ignorant fanatics; they were a class of scholars who majored in astronomy, dreams, visions, and Holy Scripture. It is simple but must be said: Nowhere is it stated there were only three wise men because there were three gifts involved. Caution: resist determining your biblical information from Christmas cards. These are reliable men because the Word of God selected them to be witnesses of such a historical event. CAME FROM THE EAST, MATTHEW 2:1-2. This is an interesting statement and claim. Research reveals there are several opinions as to the meaning. The text does eliminate the possibility of their origin from certain countries. They were not from Egypt, Turkey or Syria as these nations were not known to be famous for having Magi as stated in the text of Matthew. Matthew says they followed a star. This star appeared, arrested their attention and disappeared. They arrived in Bethlehem and the star reappeared to them. Herod's wise men quoted Micah 5:1-3. CAME FROM BABYLON/CHALDEA. If this is the case they traveled 750 miles one way, 1500 total miles. These scholars traveled from Iraq, Nebuchadnezzar's empire, based on their scientific and biblical knowledge. This empire was famous for such inquiries into dreams, visions, and other sources of information. Daniel became a leading scholar in the empire according to Daniel chp 2, 7, and 9. Based on the text, they were seeking information concerning the long awaited child and king. In addition, they appeared to express a certain level of belief in contrast to other pagans and commentators! They clearly expected to locate the one spoken of by the prophecy. If so, the very nation Jehovah used to discipline his nation Israel were expecting the king of Israel! Merry CHRISTmas, BradK |

75 | government officials | Matt 22:21 | BradK | 230506 | ||
Hello gracias... I think there are at least a couple principles that we're given from scripture: 1.In the Synoptic Gospels, Mark 12:17 says, "And Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." And they were amazed at Him." 2. Romans 13:1-7 instructs on several specifics regarding authorities and rulers. Note in particular what verse 1 tells us as to who and why: Who- "Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities"; Why- "For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God." God is ultimately sovereign and He orders, commands and ordains these persons and there offices. I hope this helps with an answer. BradK |

79 | Buddhism | 1 Cor 15:3 | BradK | 230386 | ||
Hello inspirational..., I'm not entirely sure why you ask this question- unless it's because you hold some affinity for buddhism? At any rate, the answer to your question is a resounding, Yes! Buddha is still in his grave! Buddha is not God and there is no salvation through him. Internal meditations do nothing to resolve or atone for our sinfulness! Only the all sufficient sacrifice of Jesus' death can do that. The exclusive claim of scripture is this: "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."

80 | Did Jesus chat? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 230276 | ||
Hello JoReba, Welcome to the Forum. I have to ask, with all due respect what leads you to ask this question? I will offer this. Keep in mind scripture is a "summary" of what Jesus, and his disciples said. Speaking about inspiration, Dr. David Wells says, "... the Holy Spirit was able to work through the individuality of the author in such a way that what the author intended to convey and did convey corresponds exactly to what God wanted to convey." There is no directive in scripture aginst chat per se. Rather, we are implored in Col. 4:6 to, "Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person." (NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
