7521 | STILL entertaining? | Revelation | kalos | 1510 | ||
I fully concur with EdB's short list of authors recommended for their reliability and trustworthiness. Following is a list of authors who, in my opinion, are doctrinally sound, reliable, and trustworthy in their teachings and writings. They are rooted firmly in the Bible and in the mainstream of the historic Christian faith. They are: . . . 1) The Christian Research Institute; 2)David Jeremiah; 3) D. James Kennedy; 4) John MacArthur; 5) Josh McDowell; 6) Charles Caldwell Ryrie; 7) Adrian Rogers; 8) R.C. Sproul; 9) Charles Stanley; 10) Chuck Swindoll. . . . (Disclaimer: Infallibility is claimed neither for or by any man on this list. No man is infallible. No translation of the Bible is infallible. Only the Bible itself IN THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS is both without error and incapable of error. Also, I do not claim this to be an exhaustive list of every reliable author in the history of the church. These names are merely among today's best known and most trusted teachers and writers. If I left out your favorite, I apologize. I am only speaking for myself, and no one else.) |

7522 | The sensational or the reliable? | Revelation | kalos | 1504 | ||
Has everyone read EdB's reply, quoted below? Thank you, EdB, for one of the best comments I've ever read in this forum. I agree: Stick with known, reliable authors, ones you can trust. The following names several of them. "Get away from the sensational look at books by Dr Stanley Horton pub. Gospel Publishing House, Dr. David Jeremiah pub. World publishers, Dr. John MacArthur pub Moody or Nelson. Another book you might want to look at is Revelation Four Views edited by Steve Gregg pub. Nelson. I agree with the one name given J. Vernon McGee, you can trust him." (Posted to this forum by EdB, 03-20-2001, 1:19PM.) (Note to EdB:I hope you don't mind me quoting you here. I felt that your reply deserved the widest audience possible. --JVH0212) |

7523 | Define "Pope." | 1 Pet 2:9 | kalos | 1493 | ||
Thank you for the challenge of a question that is harder to answer, more controversial and emotional. Before I can answer your question, I will ask you one. Define "Pope." (I'll act like some of the members of this forum and pretend I never heard of a dictionary and let you do the work yourself, not having the ambition to look it up for myself.) | ||||||
7524 | STILL entertaining? | Revelation | kalos | 1485 | ||
Dear SSprin: Charis has answered the question re Van Impe better than I could. So in answer to your question, I will take the liberty of quoting him: . . . "Note: Dear SSprln, I couldn't help but jump in. I don't think that anyone is implying that the Doctor is not a man of God or inaccurate. But it is true that his books tilt toward sensationalism. He, like many modern ministers, uses emotions to get your attention. This is entertainment. One thing though, adding little titles after your name is not proof of godliness or truth. Paul probably had more 'credits' than that, and he 'counted all as loss.' Peter probably had none, but he knew Jesus. Frankly, I would count personal service to the saints in a local church as of more value in God's sight than a thousand doctorates or books or shows. Comments?" (quoted from Charis, 3-19-2001, 5:53PM) |

7525 | Preordained free will? | 1 Pet 2:9 | kalos | 1484 | ||
Good observations, Charis. While we're at it: Was Martin Luther a Lutheran? Did he want to be one? He was quoted as saying that it was never his intention that a newly founded church be named after him. | ||||||
7526 | Preordained free will? | 1 Pet 2:9 | kalos | 1477 | ||
Dear Twally: Thank you for some timely quotes and for the Scripture reference, Deut 29:29, that I myself used in a recent message to this website. It may offend the pride of some to be told that there are things we cannot understand or that God does not owe us an explanation for all of His ways and acts. Nevertheless, "let God be true." | ||||||
7527 | If our answers relied on Scripture alone | Hebrews | kalos | 1476 | ||
Oh, I knew you were kidding about that part. I should have made that clear in my reply. You know, talk about controversy -- I think if I wrote an entry and all I did was quote John 3:16, someone would write in finding fault. Such things as: "Well, why didn't you quote verse 17 along with verse 16? Don't you know you're not supposed to add to or take away the words of the Bible?" You know what I mean? Maybe I'll try it as an experiment one day. Thanks for your fellowship and good wishes. In Christ, JVH0212 |

7528 | When should a person leave a church? | Ephesians | kalos | 1475 | ||
Thank you for a very wise and conscientious answer to my question. I agree with you completely. No matter what a person's reasons are for leaving a church, he ought to consider what you have written in your reply. Thanks again. | ||||||
7529 | If our answers relied on Scripture alone | Hebrews | kalos | 1462 | ||
100 percent agreement! That's fantastic! You know, I never deliberately set out to pick an argument or to upset anyone. I try to answer Bible questions as accurately and as concisely as I can. It gives me no pleasure to know that some of what I write will conflict with the personal beliefs and opinions of others. At all times I try to include one or more clear verses of Scripture to support what I say. And I avoid speculation as much as possible. Thanks for your note, bjanko. Have a great day in the Lord. | ||||||

Dear bjanko, In my previous reply to you, "I agree the Scripture does need to be interpreted", JVH0212 Sun 03-18-01, 9:36am, I said the following: "...when one interprets, there are sound principles of interpretation that one should follow." I would like to expand a little on my comment. Briefly, the principles of interpretation are: 1) Interpret grammatically and historically. 2) Interpret according to the immediate and wider contexts. 3) Interpret in harmony with the whole Bible by comparing scripture with scripture. . . . Articles, chapters and entire books have been written on the principles of interpretation, but I hope the above will suffice to sum it all up in few words. |

7535 | Accuracy not a requirement...? | Revelation | kalos | 1453 | ||
If accuracy is not a requirement for the best commentary on Revelation, then wouldn't the list of possibilities be that much longer? Also, if accuracy is not a requirement, then Van Impe is still in the running. (By the way, it is not "Revaltion" or "Revelations". The word is "Revelation".) |

7536 | WHY DOSE IT HAVE TO BE MOSSES AND ELIJAH | Revelation | kalos | 1452 | ||
The two witnesses need not be people who lived in the past. Indeed it could be two whom God has raised up for the end time. But consider the following. . . . "While it is impossible to be dogmatic about the identity of these two witnesses, several observations suggest they MIGHT (emphasis is mine) be Moses and Elijah: . . . 1) like Moses, they strike the earth with plagues, and like Elijah, they have the power to keep it from raining; . . . 2) Jewish tradition expected both Moses (compare Deut 18:15-18) and Elijah (compare Mal 4:5,6) to return in the future (compare John 1:21); . . . 3) both Moses and Elijah were present at the Transfiguration, the preview of Christ's second coming; . . . 4) both Moses and Elijah used supernatural means to provoke repentance; . . . 5) Elijah was taken up alive into heaven, and God buried Moses' body where it would never be found; and . . . 6) the length of the drought the two witnesses bring (3 1/2 years; compare Rev 11:3) is the same as that brought by Elijah (James 5:17). (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997) . . . I am not saying the two witnesses ARE Moses and Elijah. I'm saying that, based on the observations above, they MIGHT be Moses and Elijah. Beware of anyone who dogmatically asserts the identity of these two witnesses. |

7537 | Predestination vs free will--a thought.. | Bible general Archive 1 | kalos | 1448 | ||
Sir, I do not mean to sound rude or disrespectful in the Note that follows. It is just that I find it extremely difficult to understand how your Note relates to my previous submission. It seems to me that if you have to ask, "What is it that God foreknew?", then you did not understand or did not agree with my previous explanation of the meaning of the word "foreknowledge." Of course, you have the right to disagree. I don't question that. However, if you reject the premise that foreknowledge means what my explanation says it means, then the rest of my comments would carry no weight with you either. I am unaware that I said anything whatsoever about which came first -- foreknowledge or predestination. Nor was I aware that I was diverting and avoiding the question. If I understood your Note correctly, then it seems that you agree with those who "suggest that God's election is based on His foreknowledge of certain events"; and that "He chooses those whom He sees choosing Him." Your interpretation(s) of my Note are way off. I was not saying anything with the intent of avoiding "the idea of anything coming prior to predestination." It is truly astonishing to note how many avoidances, diversions, conclusions, meanings and motives you were able to glean from my previous Note. |

7538 | what were the 7 Messianic signs | Bible general Archive 1 | kalos | 1447 | ||
When you say "the 7 Messianic signs," to what are you referring? Jesus did many signs and the OT contains hundreds of prophecies pertaining to the Messiah. I'm not sure there are 7 and only 7 Messianic signs that only the Messiah could fulfill. Could you please elaborate on your question? | ||||||
7539 | A Third Name? | Col 3:17 | kalos | 1444 | ||
Doctor Emery, I must agree with Charis. "His name is Jesus", usually referred to in the NT after the book of Acts as Christ, Christ Jesus or Jesus Christ. In any case His name is Jesus, not JC. We leave that kind of casual reference to Christ to the composers of rock operas and other blasphemous works. | ||||||
7540 | Entertaining? | Revelation | kalos | 1443 | ||
By entertaining I mean "providing entertainment." This is what Van Impe does -- he provides entertainment. His TV show is about selling and sensationalism. | ||||||
