Tim: You provide two excellent reasons not to view the story of Lazarus and the rich man as a parable. Unfortunately, well-trained JWs have heard this argument before, but reject it. In their indoctrination, they are trained to have an answer for everything, unaware that their answers don't answer anything. Yet to their credit, the JWs' answers consist of something other than ad hominem attacks. Radioman2 |

Don't believe everything you read on the World Wide Web. I, too, went surfing for info on CRI. This is what I found: The website www.rapidnet.com has nothing good to say about CRI. They have leveled serious accusations against CRI in their many postings that bash the organization. Oh, I almost forgot to mention: The above anti-CRI website is also opposed to and strongly critical of the following: Benny Hinn; National Assoc. of Evangelicals; Tim and Beverly LaHaye; Larry Burkett; the Evangelical Free Church of America; Pat Robertson; D. James Kennedy; RC Sproul; Billy Graham; John MacArthur; Radio Bible Class and its principal publication "Our Daily Bread"; Campus Crusade for Christ; and Dr. James C. Dobson. Did they leave anybody out? Oh, yeah. They sound like a reliable, credible source of information, don't they?

?God created man in “God’s class,” as “little gods,”? Matt 24:11 "Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many." I have a question for all who would defend the word of faith movement and its super-star preachers, including Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagin, Fred Price, Paul and Jan Crouch, John Avanzini, Benny Hinn, Jesse Duplantis, and Marilyn Hickey. For a moment, forget their unbiblical doctrine of the prosperity gospel. What about their teachings concerning the nature of God, Christ and man, as summarized below? 'It (the Word of Faith movement) asserts that God created human beings in “God’s class” as “little gods.” Before the fall, humans had the potential to exercise a “God kind of faith” and could call things into existence. Humans took on Satan’s nature by rebelling against God in the Garden of Eden, thus losing the ability to call things into existence. In order to correct this situation, Jesus Christ became a man, died spiritually (taking Satan’s nature upon Himself), went to hell, was “born again,” and rose from the dead with God's nature. After this, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to duplicate the Incarnation in believers so they might fulfill their calling to be little gods. 'It follows, then, that those who have had the Incarnation duplicated in them by the Holy Spirit (thus giving them the ability to exercise the “God kind of faith”) should be successful in every area of their lives. Furthermore, hardships like indebtedness, illness, and even being left by one’s spouse show lack of faith because these problems should be eliminated by “claiming” God’s promises. While certain details of the above outlined doctrine vary from teacher to teacher, the general outline remains the same.' (www.equip.org/free/RC010.htm) |

gracefull: You write: "...Hank LIED in his book..." Thank you for providing us with an example of what I just wrote about, which is: "Do they (WOF followers) seriously consider the information provided? No, instead they launch ad hominem (marked by an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to the contentions made) attacks on the sources I quote." You write: "I pointed out to you on other posts where Hank LIED in his book..." I missed the other posts in which you pointed out that Hank lied in his book. If you will provide me with the ID#s of those posts, I would like to read them. Thank you. Radioman2 |

Ed: Sorry? There's nothing in your post for which you should be sorry. You hit the nail right on the head regarding WOF. Well said! You write: "The biggest problem is they will not listen or read anything that may open their eyes." Once again you are right on target. I was just thinking today, even before I read your post, that every time I've ever confronted a WOF follower with the error of their doctrine, whether on the forum or here where I live, they absolutely would not listen to anything. They wouldn't even consider that their WOF gurus (many of them on TBN -- The Blasphemy Network) might be in error. Do they seriously consider the information provided? No, instead they launch ad hominem (marked by an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to the contentions made) attacks on the sources I quote. Not once has any WOF follower I've encountered ever replied to the contentions made by me or the sources. Yet their WOF masters are infallible, according to them. Thank you, Ed, for saying what needs to be said regarding the dangerous and harmful WOF doctrine. Grace and peace, Radioman2 |

Emmaus: I could not and would not disagree that the Bible says "this IS my blood of the covenant," Matt 26:28. However, my point was not that every verse in the Bible is to be interpreted literally. We know that the Bible often uses figurative language. As for the doctrine of transubstantiation, no, I do not agree with this teaching. My sincere thanks to you, Emmaus, for your careful, patient work in presenting the doctrines of your church, often in the face of much hostility. I would that everyone on this forum presented their beliefs with such clarity and courtesy as you consistently show. Grace and peace, Radioman2 |

649 | Is baptism a sign of the New Covenant? | Luke 22:20 | Radioman2 | 80364 | ||
You write: '"This cup" is a sign of His blood.' That may be. I have neither agreed nor disagreed with this statement. You originally wrote: "The cup is the sign of the New Covenant, which is His blood." "That is what I see the Bible say." Again, the word SIGN is not in the three verses you cited. I was not replying to what you meant, but to what you actually said in your post. You yourself used the word "say". I have merely pointed out that the text does not SAY anything about a SIGN; it doesn't even use the word. I have not addressed the issue of what the cup is the sign of. I merely pointed out that the word "sign" does not appear in these texts. We need first to determine what the text says before we can determine what it means. |

650 | Is baptism a sign of the New Covenant? | Luke 22:20 | Radioman2 | 80349 | ||
"This cup IS the new covenant in My blood." NASB Luke 22:20 And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. NASB 1 Corinthians 11:25 In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." NASB Hebrews 12:24 and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel. ---------- You write: "Scripture ... Luk 22:20, 1 Cor 11:25, Heb 12:24 ... Emmaus, God's day to you. The cup is the sign of the New Covenant, which is His blood. Searcher" You write: "That is what I see the Bible say" ---------- WHERE do you see the Bible saying this? I ask you: WHERE in the three verses you cited does it SAY "The cup is the SIGN OF the New Covenant"? What it SAYS is: "This cup . . . IS the new covenant in My blood." The verses in Luke and 1 Corinthians say nothing at all about a SIGN. In Hebrews 12:24, -- "...and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant..." -- there is no mention of the word SIGN. We know what the Bible means by what it SAYS. Likewise, we know what it says by what it SAYS. You write: "One could always stretch the Bible to make their case." I agree with you there. |

651 | does God know all things? Genesis 22:12 | James 2:21 | Radioman2 | 80285 | ||
You say you "don't want to argue, but this not right." I'm not sure you have an argument. I haven't seen it yet. You make assertions, but what is your argument, what is your scriptural evidence, to prove that "this is not right"? It seems all you have to say on the subject is: No, this is not right. Others present evidence to support their interpretation. You do nothing but make an unsubstantiated claim that they are not right. In short, they've supported their interpretation, but where is your evidence that they are wrong? You disagree with their interpretation, but offer no proof for an alternate interpretation. I'm not even sure that you have an alternate interpretation. Apparently, all you "know" for sure is that those who disagree with you are wrong. In your post, ID# 80205, you again write several paragraphs in which you state your opinion. But, again, you offer no scripture to support your assertions. |

Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. (NASB Romans 13:1) You assert: "The government of the whole earth including the realm of the dead was in complete control of Satan and his angels (demons)." The government of the whole earth was in complete control of Satan? HE (GOD) REMOVES KINGS AND SETS UP KINGS AMPLIFIED Daniel 2:20-21 Daniel answered, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever! For wisdom and might are His! He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding! [Dan. 4:35.] THE MOST HIGH [GOD] RULES THE KINGDOM OF MANKIND AMPLIFIED Daniel 4:17 This sentence is by the decree of the [heavenly] watchers and the decision is by the word of the holy ones, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High [God] rules the kingdom of mankind and gives it to whomever He will and sets over it the humblest and lowliest of men.

Nowhere, by no stretch of the imagination, does the Bible teach that "during the days of the Old Testament, Satan and the demons could bring back the soul of Samuel." P.S. For the sake of clarity, please define "bring back the soul." What exactly does this consist of? What does it mean? Thank you. |

gracefull: Thank you. I share with you the desire to bring the discussion back to Biblical comparisons. Is there hope for the forum? I hope so! :-) You ask, "Paraphrase 'Satan is not the warden living in hell, and running the earth.' Is this a correct rendering of your statement? No, it isn't, but thank you for asking for clarification. When I say, "Satan is not the warden down in hell, running the place;" what I mean is "Satan is not the warden down in hell, running the place [hell]." Where is Satan and what is he doing? 1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Grace and peace, Radioman2 |

gracefull: You write: "Satan had authority to beckon souls from the dead." Other than 1 Samuel 28, are there any passages that clearly indicate this is true? If so, what are the scripture references that support this idea? Moreover, could you give scriptural support for the idea that the souls of men (dead or alive) were under the "jurisdiction" of Satan? As we all know, Satan is not the warden down in hell, running the place. Thank you for your help. Grace and peace to you. Radioman2 |

Romans 4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 'Cf. (compare) James 2:24. These are two aspects of one truth. Paul speaks of that which justifies man before God, viz.: faith alone, wholly apart from works; James of the proof before men, that he who professes to have justifying faith really has it. Paul speaks of what God sees--faith; James of what men see--works, as the visible evidence of faith. Paul draws his illustration from Genesis 15:6; James from Genesis 22:1-19. James' key phrase is "ye see" (James 2:24 ) for men cannot see faith except as manifested through works.' Scofield, C.I. "Scofield Reference Notes on Romans 4".

You write: "We find a few references to these spirits throghout the bible as in the case of Peter 3:19-20. Having served their sentence they were relesaed from spirit prison." Have they served their sentence? Were they released from spirit prison? No, they were not. Instead they have been "kept in ETERNAL BONDS under darkness FOR (until) THE JUDGMENT of the great day." AMPLIFIED Jude 1:6 And angels who did not keep (care for, guard, and hold to) their own first place of power but abandoned their proper dwelling place--these He has reserved in custody in eternal chains (bonds) under the thick gloom of utter darkness until the judgment and doom of the great day.

"Angels neither marry nor are given in marriage (Mt 22:30), so that this verse hardly applies to them." - - - - - - - - - - The Nephilim in the Bible are "people of great size and strength. The Hebrew word means 'fallen ones.' In men's eyes they were the 'mighty men...of old, men of renown,' but in God's eyes they were sinners ('fallen ones') ripe for judgment." (Zondervan NASB Study Bile, p. 12) "Gen 6:4 Nephilim. From a root meaning 'to fall'; i.e., to fall upon others because they were men of strength (only other use of this Hebrew word is in Num 13:33) Evidently they were in the earth before the marriages of Gen 6:2, and were not the offspring of those marriages from which came the *mighty* men (military men) and *men of renown * (of wealth or power)". (p. 16, Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1976, 1978) "Gen 6:1-4 *sons of God.* The 'sons of God' may mean God's created, supernatural beings, who were no longer godly in character (6.3). Some commentators believe, however, that this expression refers to the 'godly line' of Seth and that 'daughters of humans' (v. 4 in the NRSV) refer to women from the line of Cain. Most likely the phrase refers to those descendants of Seth who trusted in the Lord but whose children intermarried with women descended from Cain. Those marriages were not with angels then, but between godly and ungodly human families. Angels neither marry nor are given in marriage (Mt 22:30), so that this verse hardly applies to them. ... *Nephilim* are strong, violent, tyrannous men of great wickedness. It may well be that the explanation of these verses has been lost to us." (NRSV Harper Study Bible, Harold Lindsell, Ph.D., D.D., Grand Rapids, Michigan: Zondervan, 1991) |

[Note: The best information I've ever seen on 1 Samuel 28:3-25 is the following, which was posted here on the Forum by Makarios (ID# 7801).] 'Actually, there have been several explanations suggested for 1 Samuel 28:3-25.. 'Some believe the witch worked a miracle by demonic powers and actually brought Samuel back from the dead. In support of this view, there are certain passages that seem to indicate that demons have the power to perform lying signs and wonders (Matt. 7:22; 2 Cor. 11:14; 2 Thess. 2:9-10; Rev. 16:14). This view is unlikely, since Scripture also reveals that death is final (Hebrews 9:27), the dead cannot return (2 Samuel 12:23 and Luke 16:24-27), and demons cannot usurp or overpower God's authority over life and death (Job 1:10-12). 'A second view is that the witch did not really bring up Samuel from the dead, but a demonic spirit simply impersonated the prophet. Those who hold to this view say that certain verses indicate that demons can deceive people who try to contact the dead (Lev. 19:31; Deut. 18:11; 1 Chr. 10:13). This view is unlikely, because the passage seems to say that Samuel did in fact return from the dead, and that he provided a prophecy that actually came to pass. Further, it is unlikely that demons would have uttered God's truth, since the devil is the father of lies (John 8:44). 'A third view is that God sovereignly and miraculously allowed Samuel's spirit to appear in order to rebuke Saul for his sin. Samuel's spirit did not appear as a result of the woman's powers (since no human has this power), but only because God sovereignly brought it about. The fact that Samuel actually seemed to return from the dead supports this view (1 Sam. 28:14), and this caused the witch to shriek with fear (see verse 12). The witch's cry of astonishment indicates that this appearance of Samuel was not the result of her usual tricks. That God allowed Samuel's spirit to appear on this one occasion should not be taken to mean that witches have any real power to summon the dead. God had a one-time purpose for this one-time special occasion.' (From a post by Makarios, ID# 7801) |

You assert 'that Jesus the Christ took back the keys to death, hell and the grave' has much scriptural basis. Does it? Is there a clear verse of Scripture to indicate that Christ took back the keys or that Satan had ever taken possession of the keys? In the entire King James Version of the Bible, the word "key" appears in 6 verses. The word "keys" appears in 2 verses. Thus, "key" and "keys" appear a total of 8 times in the KJV. This is ALL the Bible has to say about key(s). Jud 3:25 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth. Isa 22:22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. Lu 11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. Re 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; Re 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. Re 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. Mt 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Re 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. |
