61 | TV or not TV? | 1 Cor 10:31 | Radioman2 | 102023 | ||
John: When it comes to not watching TV, I practice what I preach. But I promise not to preach against eating ice cream. :-) Interestingly, several years ago some foundation or university set out to do a study of people who don't watch TV. But they had to alter the study and do their research on people who spend little time watching TV. There weren't enough non-watchers to do a proper study. (This is a true story.) Good to hear from you, John. Grace and peace to you, Radioman2 |

"What should we do as parents? Turn off the TV..." Yes, turn off the TV. Not only because of the content, but also because of the ways in which watching TV affects children. See also the recent headlines about the effects of watching TV on small children. Grace to you, Radioman2 |

63 | MARK 16:16: Was it perverted? | Bible general Archive 2 | Radioman2 | 102009 | ||
This is not rocket science. Go to the website to read the Scriptures and the entire article. Just because someone told you that baptism is necessary for salvation does not make it so. I think you were bluffing when you attempted to answer my previous question about principles of interpretation. I doubt if you have any idea of what is meant by "principles of interpretation." --Radioman2 |

Norrie: I understand how you feel about not carrying your Bible to church, having had similar feelings in a recent situation. All my life I had carried my Bible to church. Recently my church started providing pew Bibles. For a time, I quit carrying my Bible. Like you, I thought, Why bother bringing it? Then it hit me. More than a dozen nieces and nephews of mine attend the same church I attend. The thought occured to me that I ought to carry my Bible to church to set an example for the children and young adults in my family. They may reason that if their uncle doesn't bring his Bible to church, then it must not be all that important. I want them to know it is important. I believe that carrying the Bible to church honors the Word of God and shows that one has a high view of Scripture. However, I am not saying that it is wrong not to carry one's Bible to church. In no way am I criticizing you or implying that this is what you should do. I am merely saying how I felt and what I decided for myself. Grace and peace to you, Radioman2 |

It always amazes me, and sometimes amuses me, when people strongly disagree with an interpretation, yet offer no alternate interpretation. Likewise, when you reject the Lowest Common Denominator principle of interpretation, I wonder what you have to offer as an alternative. What, if any, principles of translation do you apply? --Radioman2 |

68 | Why 4 Gospels? | NT general Archive 1 | Radioman2 | 101156 | ||
"consider the canon. But it is of man." If we are going to say that the canon of the Bible "is of man", then perhaps we should also say the Bible "is of man." After all, it was human beings who actually held the pen and wrote down the words. Just a thought. --Radioman2 |

Hank: I know what you mean. Also, Watchtower publications often use the phrase "some scholars", "some authorities", etc. But they don't always identify these mystery scholars and authorities. It's amazing how they created the NWT without the aid of any Greek or Hebrew scholars whatsoever. --Radioman2 |

'However, some informed scholars prefer to use the secular designations "B.C.E." (before our Common Era) and "C.E." (of our Common Era.)' -- Jehonadab It is also true that the Watchtower organization prefers to use the secular designations "B.C.E." (before our Common Era) and "C.E." (of our Common Era.) --Radioman2 |

Colin: I read the Chambers quote and I agree with it. (I am a huge fan of Chambers and his book, MUHH. No one can read this book daily for a year without having their life changed.) I would say we ought to witness with wisdom, speaking the truth in love. But, when it comes to boldly proclaiming (preaching) the gospel of Jesus Christ, we ought to "cry aloud and spare not." You have to get a man lost before he can be saved. Meaning that you have to show him he is a sinner before you can get to him to acknowledge his need of a Savior. Grace to you, Radioman2 |

Tara1: No one uses the NWT except the JW's. JW's on the other hand will use nothing else! Of the NWT you write: "I've yet to come across a better Bible version."

76 | Snatch? | Hebrews | Radioman2 | 99801 | ||
Security of the Believer (Backsliding) [All of the following is a direct quote from the web page (http://ag.org/top/beliefs/christian_doctrines/gendoct_09_security.cfm). The article has been edited solely to fit within space limitations.] What is the Assemblies of God position on the security of the believer's salvation? ...We believe it is possible for a person once saved to turn from God and be lost again... In view of the biblical teaching that the security of the believer depends on a living relationship with Christ (John 15:6); in view of the Bible's call to a life of holiness (1 Peter 1:16; Hebrews 12:14); in view of the clear teaching that a man may have his part taken out of the Book of Life (Revelation 22:19); and in view of the fact that one who believes for a while can fall away (Luke 8:13); The General Council of the Assemblies of God disapproves of the unconditional security position which holds that it is impossible for a person once saved to be lost. ( . . . ) The Assemblies of God leans toward Arminianism, though it accepts scriptural truth found in both positions. We agree with the Calvinist emphasis on God's sovereignty or supreme power and authority. But we also firmly believe the Arminian emphasis on mankind's free will and responsibility for his actions and choices. We believe the Bible teaches both truths. "Eternal security," according to Calvinists, means "once saved, always saved." The key passage for this position is John 10:28,29— "No one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand." There is great assurance in this passage and in Romans 8:35,39—"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? . . . Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." The Assemblies of God also stands on these wonderful truths knowing we need not fear that something external will overpower us and take away our salvation. Only our willful choices can do that. But because we are creatures with free wills, we must be vigilantly on guard because the enemy of our soul, the devil, "prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith" (1 Peter 5:8,9). In our Fellowship we believe carelessness can lead to apathy, apathy to neglect, and neglect to a conscious decision to sin. We often refer to this spiritual decline as backsliding. We believe one who backslides is in danger of losing his salvation if the individual persists in rejecting the Spirit's call to repentance and restoration. Luke 8:13 makes clear the fact that believers can lose their salvation. It says some "believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away." Revelation 22:19 says "If anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life, and in the holy city." Certainly there are true Christians who believe and teach Calvinism; there are also true Christians who believe and teach that men and women have free will. Unfortunately, both sides have spent more time arguing doctrinal terminology and interpretations of theology than reaching out to a lost world. The irony of the disagreement is that Calvinists, who believe in predestination, are sometimes more active in witnessing and evangelism than Arminians who believe that man has a free will and should be encouraged to accept Christ as Savior. God, of course, looks on the heart and the actions rather than on the eloquence with which one defends a position. CONCERNS: Although the Assemblies of God adheres basically to the Arminian position on the spiritual security of the believer, there are extremes and potential abuses which must be avoided. The Christian life is not a roller coaster of Sunday salvation and Monday through Saturday backsliding. On the other hand, no Christian, no matter how spiritual, can claim perfection and sinlessness (1 John 1:8-10; 2:1). Therefore as Christians we must continually come to God sincerely asking His forgiveness for living below the potential He makes possible through the gift of His Holy Spirit. The truth of God's marvelous and free grace has sadly led some to imagine and indulge in a cheap grace, a grace that covers all sins with no need to live a holy life. Such an attitude is an insult to the great price Christ paid to purchase our salvation. Though we may fail and fall, and sometimes sin, the heart of the true believer always regrets, repents, asks forgiveness, and seeks never to sin that way again. To carelessly participate in sin, expecting to gain forgiveness later, is itself an act of backsliding that will lead ultimately to losing one's salvation. We therefore reject any "once saved, always saved" doctrine that excuses sinful lifestyles. |

Kingdom Interlinear Translation 'In 1969 the Watchtower [Bible and Tract Society] published "The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures," presenting "a literal word-for-word translation" of the Westcott and Hort Greek text, together with the Revised Edition of the "New World Translation of the Christian Creek Scriptures." A preface entitled "By Way of Explanation" says that the literal interlinear English translation is designed to show what the Greek says "without any sectarian religious coloration".
