781 | Idle speculation w/o scriptural support | 2 Tim 2:23 | Radioman2 | 61556 | ||
Here at the Forum you will find all the bricks without straw, clouds without water, and idle speculation without Scripture that you'll ever need. ------------- Why, oh why, are people so FASCINATED with speculation about what the Bible does NOT say? Shouldn't they be watching "Unsolved Mysteries" or one of those TV shows? Does anyone here have any respect for the silence of the Bible? When one speculates on what the Bible does not say, who is edified, who is encouraged, who is comforted? People need to study and learn what the Bible DOES say. Then they might have less questions about and interest in what it doesn't say. Be assured: the Bible is complete. God has not, as some have suggested, left anything out that should be there or made any mistakes in the Bible. To go on and on and on about what the Bible does not say is to cast doubt upon the inspiration and sufficiency of Scripture. Scripture surely would not be sufficient if people had to make up 1,001 questions about what it does not include. One may get some kind of kick out of questioning the reliability or sufficiency of Scripture, but all one does is create doubt and confusion for seekers and babes in Christ. And by a strange twist of logic some on this forum have claimed that this is somehow helpful in furthering the gospel and the kingdom of God. That somehow speculating on trivial matters on which the Bible is silent is going to strengthen someone's faith in God or in the essentials of the Christian faith. We ought to read the Bible with an open mind and heart. Be willing to obey what we find there. Accept it for what it actually is, the very words of God Himself. "Therefore, the person who rejects [the Bible] does not reject man, but God, who also gives you His Holy Spirit." One more time: according to the Lockman Foundation, this is neither a discussion group, a survey, or an opinion poll. If one finds the Bible insufficient to satisfy all their curiosity, maybe they ought to discard it and turn to the Book of Mormon, the Watchtower Society, the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, or some of the more colorful and imaginative postings here at the forum. All of the above are equally spurious, fanciful and uninspired. Here at the Forum you will find all the bricks without straw, clouds without water, and idle speculation without Scripture that you'll ever need. Selah. (Pause and think about that.) |

782 | Better to remain silent and be thought a | 2 Tim 2:23 | Radioman2 | 61551 | ||
To whom it may concern: Are you proficient in the Greek language? (How many years did you study New Testament Greek at the university level?) Have you studied Old Testament Hebrew? What about Aramaic? If you cannot answer in the affirmative, then you are not qualified to second guess the interpretation of someone who is proficient in one or more of these languages. Reading a dozen medical or health articles in Reader's Digest does not qualify you to second guess your doctor. Watching every episode of "L.A. Law" does not prepare you to pass the bar exam and set up your own practice. Subscribing to "Psychology Today" doesn't mean you are ready to start your own counselling service. Nor does the ability to quote a dozen Bible verses and outshout the other guy anoint you to serve as a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, an instructor of the foolish, or a teacher of babes. In the event that you have an irresistible urge to proclaim that another man is incorrect, wrong or in error, you need to know the subject as well as, if not better than, the other man. Before you blurt out your omniscient pronouncements, just remember: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." |

784 | Is this a discussion group? | 2 Tim 2:23 | Radioman2 | 61546 | ||
Did you know? According to the Lockman Foundation, StudyBibleForum.com is "not a discussion group or topical survey" (http://www.gospelcom.net/lockman/studybibleforum/about.php). 2 Tim 2:14 "Of these things put them in remembrance, charging [them] in the sight of the Lord, that they strive not about words, to no profit, to the subverting of them that hear."; 2 Tim 2:16 "But shun profane babblings: for they will proceed further in ungodliness."; 2 Tim 2:23 "But foolish and ignorant questionings refuse, knowing that they gender strifes." 2 Peter 3:16 "as also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unstedfast wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction"; |

AMPLIFIED 2 Timothy 2:23 But refuse (shut your mind against, have nothing to do with) trifling (ill-informed, unedifying, stupid) controversies over ignorant questionings, for you know that they foster strife and breed quarrels. KJV 2Ti 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. KJV 1Ti 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. KJV 1Ti 6:4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, KJV Tit 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. |

According to ateo, "Daniel's 70 weeks is not a messianic prophecy." However, according to the Messiah Himself: NASB Matthew 24:15 "Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), AMPLIFIED Matthew 24:15 So when you see the appalling sacrilege [the abomination that astonishes and makes desolate], spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the Holy Place--let the reader take notice and ponder and consider and heed [this]--[Dan. 9:27; 11:31; 12:11.] |
