61 | Am I ignorant | 1 Cor 12:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 212028 | ||
Nevvvvine, In this passage it is those (with the spiritual gifts) that are given to the Church. In other words it is the gifted people here that are given to the Church. Also, consider the work of the apostles and prophets. Their work still lives on today in the Church. The intent of their ministry has the same value and edification on the Church today. Your rendering of the passage assumes that because the Church has not attained to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ that there is need for more apostles and prophets. The ministries of apostles and prophets of old are still applicable to the Church today. So no, this passage does not teach that there is need for more because the Church has not reached the full measure of Christ. Hope this helps! Steve |

Amen WOS! Choose not to honor God on any day for any reason and all you have done is gratified the enemy! he has won the battle and the loser is the one who was so easily deceived by him. God will still be glorified by those who love and adore Him and by His heavenly host! He reigns because He is King, He is Lord, He is God and there is no day that should pass that we not honor and worship Him! Steve |

65 | I'm Confused! | 1 John 1:9 | humbledbyhisgrace | 211780 | ||
Greetings reedera4! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! I understand your confusion! Let me see if I can help. Personally, I think it's a great error to teach we are not told to ask for forgiveness or that it's not taught in scripture. Sorry one of your pastors of all people would create such confusion for you. Does Scripture teach us to ask for forgiveness? Yes indeed it does! Matthew 6:12 (NASB) And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. See Matthew 6:14-15 also for context. Luke 11:4 (NASB) And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation. 1 John 1:9 (NASB) If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. "Confess" in this passage means to "acknowledge" the sin. Or "profess" the sin. It is unreasonable to apply the meaning that asking God for forgiveness of the sin is wrong. There is nothing in the passage to teach that and it contradicts Matthew 6:12 and Luke 11:4 which clearly teach that we are to ask forgiveness. What must be understood in all these verses is that fellowship with God is in view here, not salvation. I fear we are more of a "clanging noise" in the ear of God with the nonsense we push on others. I'm sorry you have been left so confused on this considering it's importance and I hope this helps! Steve |

keliy, I don't know about you but I don't see a point in claiming something if you don't believe it's the truth. :-) We all should be ready and willing to change our views if Scripture corrects them though! Steve |

67 | pleasestate your undestandingof verse | Prov 16:33 | humbledbyhisgrace | 211611 | ||
Greetings keliy! Trick question for you! Do nondenominational adherents have the truth and are all denominational adherents deceived? Just curious since you say the denominations are a danger because they each say they have the truth. Couldn't help but wonder were that left the nondenominational adherents???? The argument is sort of self defeating isn't it? It's nothing more then an attempt to discredit the position of denominational adherents in favor of nondenominational adherents. I know a lot of nondenominational churches and members use this argument as you have but I've often wondered if they ever see how self defeating the argument is. Or perhaps if it's they think they have the truth and the denominational churches don't then they just don't get it????????? Get the point? Steve |

Greetings keliy, Persecution of Christ and His disciples have a particular context in scripture. It shouldn't be confused with biblical correction and admonishment. Persecution comes from those apposed to God and His people. Admonishment and correction are between Christian and Christian and is intended to turn one in error from his or her error. Steve |

69 | Why Did god call jesus his begotten sun? | John 3:16 | humbledbyhisgrace | 211364 | ||
Mark, Scripture does not teach Jesus the Christ, the only begotten Son of God was created! None of the passages you reference teach this and indeed no passage of scripture will teach it. Hebrews 1:3 says that He (Jesus) is the "radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature". Exact representation does not allow for the concept the He was created. In fact, to be the "exact representation" clearly proclaims the deity of Jesus. John 1:1-3 should help clear this up for you. John 1:1-3 (NASB) 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1:2 He was in the beginning with God. 1:3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. The Word spoken of here is Jesus the Son of God and it clearly says the Word was God. Verse 2 clearly tells us He was in the beginning with God. All things! Don't miss this! ALL THINGS came into being through Him and nothing came into being but through Him. He did not create Himself! Scripture clearly teaches that Christ Jesus is indeed God. He God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are eternal. From eternity past to eternity future Christ Jesus was and will be! Hope this helps. Steve |

Greetings Doc! My duties to study and ministry has kept me busy of late so I'm not spending much time on line. Sort of hit and miss lately. But I peeked in on this thread today to see what was up. Here's a good start on Grudem's position... http://www.challies.com/archives/interviews/continuationism.php I've also listen to him regarding some of the gifts as is relevant to this discussion on Piper's web site. http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/ConferenceMessages/ByConference/19/ There are several audio clips on this page. It comes from the 1991 Pastors Conference (Spiritual Gifts and the Sovereignty of God). Steve |

72 | ... | Gen 1:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 210928 | ||
DL, First it must be noted that your suggestion is not the moral standard. God Himself cannot be immoral because morality reflects the character of God. It is that which contradicts His character that is immoral. Mankind does not determine morality. Your point that "Children starving as the highest evil, all of us sinning as a lower evil." is indicative of a faulty view of morality. It is the act of sinning (i.e. immorality) that contradicts the character of God not the children starving. Your argument of what is moral and immoral has no foundation in truth or authority. It is a subjective argument that defeats itself. First, you determine that it is a moral issue with God because the children are starving. That in and of itself reveals the lack of authority behind the moral in which you try to establish. It is no longer a moral reflective of God's character but rather that of a fallen man (i.e. you). It becomes relative, no longer objective, no longer transcendent, no longer authoritative, and no longer universal. Your self proclaimed moral is based on what you as fallen man determines in your own heart as right and wrong. It has now become relative. For example, your argument for your moral position is based on a question can God do miracles. You have not even established in your argument if God can or cannot do miracles. Yet without even acknowledging that He can, you set out to then determine Him immoral because He does not measure up to your unauthoritative relative moral standard. And you would have us not follow God but you and this is the argument you have to offer as why? Please! Psalms 52:1, Psalms 119:68, Psalms 33:5, Psalms 145:9, Nahum 1:7, Romans 2:4, 1 John 1:5 "When others behave badly to us, it should only stir us up the more heartily to give thanks unto the Lord, because He is good; and when we ourselves are conscious that we are far from being good, we should only the more reverently bless Him that He is good. We must never tolerate an instant's unbelief as to the goodness of the Lord; whatever else may be questioned, this is absolutely certain, that Jehovah is good; His dispensations may vary, but His nature is always the same" -- C. H. Spurgeon Steve |

Greetings Sister! The immediate context would indicate He is teaching His disciples. "Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them..." v43 The comparison was of the "people" of which "many" were rich etc... v41. I don't think the view here was the religious leaders but rather all the people who put money into the treasury. Steve |

75 | Most accurate translation of Bible? | Bible general Archive 4 | humbledbyhisgrace | 210727 | ||
Greetings SAnsel! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! I have both the NASB and ESV. I like both but find myself using the NASB 99.9 percent of the time both in teaching and study. I know you were not looking for opinions but just thought I would offer that anyway :-) You can read about the NASB translation on this web site. Look at the top of the page and click on the menu item labeled "Bible Information". Select the different options from the drop down menu to read about the NASB translation. Bottom line, I think you would do fine with either the NASB or ESV. If I was going to give you one as a gift it would be the NASB :-) By the way, there are several sites on line that you can use to compare the two translations. www.biblegateway.com or www.blueletterbible.org are a couple that come to mind. Hope this helps! Steve |

Greetings MrsBeverly! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! May I ask, what class this is? Acts 17:28 (NASB) for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we also are His children.' - Supposedly he quoted the Greek poet Aratus —http://www.wscal.edu/faculty/wscwritings/commongrace.php Titus 1:12 (NASB95) One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons." - Supposedly he quoted from Epimenides, a Cretan poet and philosopher from the sixth century b.c.—Bible Knowledge Commentary 1 Corinthians 15:33 (NASB95) Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals." - Supposedly he quoted the pagan writer Menander. —http://www.wscal.edu/faculty/wscwritings/commongrace.php Acts 26:14b "...It is hard for you to kick against the goads." Not sure about this one but have read it was a quote of a Greek proverb. You might find this interesting http://www.wscal.edu/faculty/wscwritings/commongrace.php Keep in mind 2 Timothy 3:16!!!

78 | Does Christ come into our hearts? | Rom 10:9 | humbledbyhisgrace | 210337 | ||
Greetings Brother! You bring up a great point!!! I fear we all have been touched by some of the terminology spouted in Christian circles over time which does indeed tend to change not only meaning but also possibly understanding. I find it an area of concern in that we need to gently and lovingly explain (which I think you did a fine job of by the way!). But I have seen how this can go to the extreme in the other direction as well as some will so misunderstand another they will apply their own meaning to what someone else says. Jesus is indeed Lord and it is a blessing from God Himself that we come to that understanding! Understanding and acknowledging that seems to me to make the surrender oh so sweet! God bless, Steve |

Greetings Cheri! Thanks for the link. I think I installed this one time before in the past but had read something on it that left me wondering of the quality of interpretation etc... Of course, I'm no judge of such because the Hebrew and Greek are foreign languages to me. Ha! :-) I do have Hebrew and Greek Interlinear resources but I was wondering what Tim was using. Thank you very much! Your brother in Christ, Steve |

Greetings Tim, If sin were victorious as you say, then how in this verse does the "I" no longer have guilt of being the one doing the sin? What could possibly be meant by "now and no longer I" if this is talking about an unregenerate person? When you have time, please explain why/how you see this as sin being victorious. I'm not following that. By the way, I was not accusing you of saying I had gotten my view from anyone. Sorry if it came across that way. Thanks Tim! Your bother in Christ, Steve |
