61 | Where did God and Jesus come from? | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 234889 | ||
Hello kitty, Actually, Jesus is eternal- pre-existing with the Father, "in the beginning". Otherwise, Col 1:16-17 makes no sense, "For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together." (NASB) In John 3:16, Begotten has to do with His incarnation, not physical birth! Col. 1:13-18, First-born (Gr. prototokos) is in reference to His position over creation, not that he was literally "first born". God has no physical birth! My guess, is that you are espousing Watchtower theology? Arianism was defeated and renounced as heresy at the Council of Nicea back in 325!

Hello Irus, Unfortunately, this Forum is not the proper venue to provide you a truly knowledgable answer. I too recomend you see a doctor or mental health professional. May we be in prayer for you regarding this matter? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

64 | the creation of the world | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 234866 | ||
Hello gogo, You've made a statement: the creation of the world, but is there a related question? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

65 | the theme of genesis 1 | Genesis | BradK | 234864 | ||
Hello gogo, You asked and answered your own question? I would disagree that the "theme" of Genesis 1 is God's soverenty (sic). Would it not be His creation of the world? Certainly by doing this, He demonstrates His Sovereignty! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

66 | Does Bible say that Jesus went to Hell? | Eph 4:9 | BradK | 234757 | ||
Hello gracehaswon, The Bible never actually says Jesus went to hell. You're most likely referring to Eph. 4: 9 which reads, "(Now this expression, "He ascended," what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth?" (NASB) Much more could be commented on this, but hopefully that answers your question. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi Keith, How exactly did you arrive at your conclusions? What can you present to this Forum that would substantiate your postulation? In other words, why would those of us don' t know you accept your statements? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi Keith, Well, I think you answered your own question! Is ignorance then bliss? Out of curiosity, what was your major? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Edb, I read your response. Thank you for the comments. You said, "But questions such as why did the majority of translators translated this verse this way and that verse that way even though it might be "fringe" to you should be addressed. " Can you or would you be willing to provide such helpful input on this matter for the edificstion of the Forum? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

70 | Private Interpretations | 2 Pet 1:20 | BradK | 234670 | ||
Hello Ed, Neither. You missed my point. Follow some of the recent discussion/remraks by fringe groups here on the SBF and my comments should make more sense in that light! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

71 | Private Interpretations | 2 Pet 1:20 | BradK | 234665 | ||
"It seems odd, that certain men who talk so much of what the Holy Spirit reveals to themselves, should think so little of what he has revealed to others. My chat this afternoon is not for these great originals, but for you who are content to learn of holy men, taught of God, and mighty in the Scriptures. The temptations of our times lie rather in empty pretensions to novelty of sentiment, than in a slavish following of accepted guides. A respectable acquaintance with the opinions of the giants of the past, might have saved many an erratic thinker from wild interpretations and outrageous inferences. Usually, we have found the despisers of commentaries to be men who have no sort of acquaintance with them; in their case, it is the opposite of familiarity which has bred contempt." [C.H. Spurgeon- Commenting and Commentaries; Lecture 1: A Chat about Commentaries] |

72 | Jewish "Inclusive Reckoning" practice | Matt 12:40 | BradK | 234652 | ||
Hello Paschal Lamb, Can you explain what you define as, "inconsistent use of the Jewish "inclusive reckoning" practice."? I'm also curious as to what your ministry teaches in regards to: "Transforming Christian Vision"- To What?; Teaching Christian truth- Truth defined by what creed or doctrinal statement? Unifying Christian Perspectives- In what way? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

73 | Man before the Bible. | Gen 12:10 | BradK | 234638 | ||
Hi Tim, Frankly, that's a great non-answer and beating around the bush if I've ever heard it. Why don't you just be forthright and answer the question? You are or you aren't a JW! Our God is a holy God, and also a God who does not lie (Tit. 1:2). I find most JW's seem to like to skirt around answering who they are and there affiliations. This is not being honest. In short, they're deceptive. So, I will not play this game. I strongly encourage you if you haven't done so already to familiarize yourself with the Terms of Use and About Forum as provided by our gracious host, the Lockman Foundation. You implicitly agree to these terms and conditions when you register. This saves us from wasting needless time in dealing with matters already clearly set forth by Lockman.

74 | Truth or Deception? | Eph 4:25 | BradK | 234634 | ||
In Ephesians 4:25, the beleiver is admonished, "Therefore, laying aside falsehood, SPEAK TRUTH EACH ONE of you WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, for we are members of one another." (NASB) The opposite of this is a Deception: 1. the act of deceiving; the state of being deceived. 2. something that deceives or is intended to deceive; fraud; artifice. (Dictionary.com) The true believer, one who has a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ is to be truthful in his manner and conduct. Deception has no part for those who name the name of Jesus! It is dis-honoring to God to purposefully practice such behavior. BradK |

75 | Man before the Bible. | Gen 12:10 | BradK | 234629 | ||
Hello TMcCully, Welcome to the Forum. I noticed your user profile. Might I ask a few directed questions of your statements? 1. You said "Genesis One is supposed to teach why God is worthy, but those traditional word translations obscure the lessons which are foundational for understanding who God is.." OK, but how did YOU determine that Genesis One is supposed to teach that God is worthy? How do you know this is what's it's "supposed to teach"? Says who? 2. How did you determine that "...traditional word translations obscure the lessons which are foundational for understanding who God is"? According to who? To which translations do you refer? Using what hermeneutic method? How do your results line up with general Orthodoxy and/or known scholas views? Are you skilled or trained in Hebrew grammer? Strong's Concordance and the BlueLetterBible may indeed be helpful tools, but they don't make you a qualified, credible "expert"! 3. Are you a JW or associated with the Watchtower Organization in any way? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

76 | Man before the Bible. | Gen 1:1 | BradK | 234618 | ||
Hello Camus, Have you read Genesis 1? Perhaps you could be a little more specific in your question? Egyptian history cannot precede creation- Gen. 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth..." (NASB) Biblically, the early chapters of Genesis provide a narrative of God's creative work, and the fall of man. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

78 | Was the blind man God? | John 8:24 | BradK | 234500 | ||
Hello Andy, I'm going to leave my final say on these points: 1. I never said I agreed with Tim. Those are your words. I don't disagree with his stated views on John 8:24, but I don't recall he or anyone else saying anything about belief in a "Binity" being required for salvation! This is your terminology. I'm not sure what leads you to make this linkage? You feel I'm in direct violation of #2! Hogwash, my friend. 2. I'm not at all aware the Orthodoxy holds or requires a belief in the Trinity to be saved. Not-withstanding the initial paragraph of the Athanasian Creed, I certainly don't believe that; 3. I would rather let him speak, but you're putting words in Tim's mouth to state he believes "that you need to believe in a Binity to be saved"; 4. I'm not clear on exactly what you mean by referring to this "Trinitarian Protestant religion". Can you explain better what you mean by this?; 5. Do I want to "waste my time" talking about credentials or do you want to join me in trying to figure out the truth to the gospel? That depends. Hear me out on this, because it's a very important point you seem to have overlooked. I don't wish to waste my time in dialoging with someone I know nothing about. Respect is earned. You've been on this forum all of 3 days. Repoire is built over time. Authoring some dozen posts doesn't get you that, young man. 6. Lastly, you've entirely lacking in transparency. My question again: Who is Andy S? We know nothing of your church or denominational background. Are you attending Bible college or are you a seminary graduate? What are your theological presuppositions? Do you have an agenda? Andy, 3 days on the Study Bible Forum does not gain you instant credibilty. You're a fool if you think otherwise. Unless you can do a better job in being more candid in your intentions, laying your cards on the table and being upfront about who you are, I will not waste any further time with you! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hey Andy, Frankly, I think you're putting the cart before the horse! Who is Andy S and what makes him an authority on the matters to which he speaks? Why should we trust what YOU say? You're making a lot of claims and accusations but I see little if anything to substantiate them! Pardon me for being blunt, but just because YOU say so, Andy, doesn't make it so! Please enlighten this Forum a little about yourself, your background, your theological beliefs and or training. Maybe then, we can start to place some credence in what YOU say! Please Note: To adhere to StudyBibleForum's intended purpose, please read the following before submitting a post: 1. This post is biblically based and whenever possible, I have included Bible references to support it. 2. This post is not intended as a personal attack on the authority of the Bible or on other users of this forum. 3. This post is not submitted as an effort to foster divisiveness, ill-will, dissension or other disruptions to this forum. 4. I have carefully proofread my post and believe it represents my best efforts. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

80 | Is your religion a true religion? | John 8:24 | BradK | 234485 | ||
Hello DP, If I may, your explanation is anything but simple. I'm curious as to where you came up with your "theology of the Trinity"? It doesn't square with the Nicene or Athanasian Creeds! This is a fair question to ask, but are you just being rhetorical? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
