6781 | Is there another helper? | John 5:43 | Hank | 4783 | ||
Ray, Jesus is clearly talking about two different "anothers" in these verses. John 5:37 identifies the Father as the "another" of verse 5:32. In John 5:43 the "another" refers to a false messiah. See Matthew 24:5. Regarding capitalization of "another" -- the word is used as an adjective, not a personal pronoun. Nouns and personal pronouns pertaining to all three Persons of the Trinity are capitalized in the NASB. Of course, in no case would the "another" of 5:43 be capitalized, because a false messiah is meant. By the way, Jesus' prediction in Matthew 24:5, "Many will come in my name, saying 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many" began to be fulfilled in Apostolic times and, of course, there are deceivers amongst us today who make all sorts of wild and false claims. --Hank | ||||||

6783 | a summary of hebrews 3 for prayon | Heb 3:1 | Hank | 4774 | ||
Barbara, the first 6 verses of Hebrews 3 establishes that Christ is superior to Moses. The writer lists 3 categories: (1) Both were faithful (2) But Christ is the builder of the house, whereas Moses was but a servant in the house (3) Christ is a Son over the house, but Moses was only a servant in the house. Verse 1 is particularly interesting, because it calls Jesus the Apostle and High Priest of our confession. These are two of the many titles for Jesus in the New Testament. Verses 7-19 speak of the catastrophe of unbelief. The quotation of verses 7-11 is from Psalm 95:7-11. The writer applies (12-15 the experiences of Israel when they came out of Egypt under Moses' leadership. In verses 16-19 Israel's sins are described as (1) provocation or rebellion (2) disobedience and (3) unbelief. The consequences of unbelief and the cure for unbelief are treated of in Chapter 4. A practical lesson in this passage is that the same sins and errors into which the Israelites fell are clear and present dangers for God's people in any age. --Hank | ||||||
6784 | What were Tabernacle and Temple? | OT general | Hank | 4706 | ||
Thanks once again, prayon, for another fine answer: Scripturally supported, without bias or controversy, complete, clear, and to the point. This is the kind of stuff this Forum should be made of. --Hank | ||||||
6785 | JOE THROWS ONENESS INTO HERESY | Bible general Archive 1 | Hank | 4695 | ||
Is it fair to say that Joe throws oneness into heresy by what he said? To accuse another of heresy is serious business. Should not one rather re-examine what oneness really means and what heresy really is? --Hank | ||||||
6786 | Baptism, Trinity, and Teachers? | Acts 2:38 | Hank | 4694 | ||
Nehemiah, I respect your privilege to air your views and ask that you respect mine. I have no reason to question your faith or your sincerity and do not do so. I come to inquire but not to attack; to challenge, not to condemn.There are three categories addressed in your posting about which I have grave concern and on which I would like to comment and pose additional questions to you.(1) Quoting you: "While Jesus was baptising, he baptised in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost." Wherein does any scripture support the tenet that Jesus ever baptised anyone? If believers today are to be baptised in the name of Jesus only, as you state, what are we to do with Jesus' command in Matthew 28:19 to baptise in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? (2) Quoting you: "The Trinity is symbolic of one Spirit." Where does the Bible lend credence to this statement? And what exactly do you mean by it? Can you expand and add clarity to it, in accordance with clear Biblical teaching?(3) Quoting you: "The answer is not in man. We all [are in] error. The truth is in the Word." With the statement as it stands, by itself, one could hardly find fault. But you used it in this context. You said, "My advice to the gentleman who responded to my queston is that you put your trust in no man and don't let another interpret for you." With that I have questions and concerns. What was Phillip doing for the Ethiopian in the Book of Acts regarding the meaning of the passage in Isaiah? Why did Paul tell Timothy to preach the word? Why did Jesus say in Matthew 28:19 to go into all the world and preach the Gospel? Would it not be better simply to send copies of the Bible and let the recipients figure it out for themselves? One closing thought: There is a verse of Scripture, 2 Timothy 3:16, that speaks to us all, and no Christian can do himself harm by committing it to memory and stamping it indelibly upon his heart: "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness." Every good wish in Jesus' name. --Hank | ||||||

What a good, scripturally-supported answer, Nolan! Now for Question No. 2: With a working knowledge of what demons are, can we form any ideas from the Scriptures about the relationship between demons and the devil himself, Satan? --Hank | ||||||

Dear Percival: Many thanks for posting your thoughts. Your observation is astute, your scripture reference apt, and if your implied question has any validity -- and I believe it does for some, but by no means all, of the participants on this forum -- then it should serve as a wake-up call to all of us. It is easy enough for those of us who have made a large number of postings during the several weeks this forum has been live to become so involved that we lose sight of the tone we are setting and the impression we are making, whether good or bad, to other users and visitors of the forum. There has been far too much bickering over trifles. Opinion upon opinion has been advanced with little, if any, scriptural basis for it. There have been sharp verbal exchanges. The purpose and aim of the Lockman Foundation in establshing this Study Bible Forum is inherent in the very name itself, Study Bible. The concept was to provide an on-line source of Biblical exegesis and exposition that anyone could turn to for help and guidance in his study of the Word of God -- analogous to a printed Study Bible. It was never conceived, and is not designed to be, a medium for airing one's spiritual laundry, or for promoting any particular denominational bias over another, or for honing one's persuasive skills. Far more attention and space have been given to issues that divide us than they deserve. Too much has been made of minor and relatively unimportant details and side issues. On far too many occasions the focus has been diverted to petty squabbles about this word or that phrase, and the real spiritual truth has been sidetracked. In short, this forum, for the most part, is not following the pattern laid out for it by its founders. But it is yet new. We still have the opportunity to build it into something useful and good, into something that can honor our Lord, and into something that could become the vehicle through which someone could find Christ. I therefore ask, humbly and sincerely, that all users of this forum who profess Christ as their Savior and Lord to pray that it may truly be a monument to Him and His Holy Word; that it may always reflect the love that He has for His people and the love they should have toward one another; that it clearly exhibits awe, honor, and deep respect for sacred scripture; and that we, individually and collectively, be granted the grace to preserve unity in the bond of peace. A house, or a forum, divided against itself cannot stand. Percival, I appreciate your thought-provoking comments, and I feel certain tha many other users of the forum do too. Please say with us and favor the forum with additional input. --Hank | ||||||
6798 | Demon possessed now? | Matt 8:16 | Hank | 4606 | ||
Brent, the question may seem odd; however, there is a reason for my asking it in the way I did. The Scriptures do speak to the issue raised, clearly and unequivocally, but no one has cited them yet. The clue lies in the defining of demons. --Hank | ||||||
6799 | Who may receive the baptism of the H.S.? | Acts 2:38 | Hank | 4602 | ||
No. Continue your reading of the book of Acts. --Hank | ||||||
