81 | Can the soul actually be destroyed? | Matt 10:28 | Glory Bound | 130233 | ||
Mat 10:39 He that finds his life shall lose it, and he who has lost his life for my sake shall find it. Matthew 10:39 makes no such statement. READ IT AGAIN DEAR SOUL. As to Matthew 16:25 it is simply a reiteration of 10 :29 Mat 16:25 For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. Likewise, this has nothing to do with the "soul being distroyed." Both these verses are referencing the fact that if one cares more for his life than he does serving Jesus, he will loose that life. And that if one has lost his life for Jesus, he shall find it. According to scripture, the soul is eternal. It will either spend eternity in Glory, or in "eternal damnation" which is the second death. When it comes to "thinking" this or that concerning the Living Word, one would be well advised to consider what scripture states. Particularily 2 Timothy 2:15-16 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. GB |

82 | Can the soul actually be destroyed? | Matt 10:28 | Glory Bound | 130235 | ||
Only by He who made it in the first place, yet He has stated that the distruction of the soul will be eternal. This is the second death in the lake of fire and brimstone. ETERNAL DAMNATION! That's a long time to suffer in a lake of fire with the meanest of the mean and dumbest of the dumb. If you haven't accepted Jusus Christ, which are you? ALL who do not accept the sin debt paid by Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary on their behalf can be categorized in one of the two above categories. This sounds crude, but it is a fact without the rosy coverings. GB |

83 | What does the bible say about purgatory? | Matt 12:32 | Glory Bound | 130810 | ||
Forgive me, but to put it bluntly; If one tends to depend solely on others for their spiritual nourishment and does not, at the very least, make an attempt to adhere to 2 Timothy 2:15, thus learning to feed themselves, they are quite likely be led there. GB |

84 | Excommunication. Is it for today? | Matt 18:15 | Glory Bound | 130447 | ||
Excommunication is not something to be taken lightly, but in answer to your question, It is if one considers the NT and Pauls teachings applicable today. GB |

85 | What is an acceptiable "Biblical questn? | Matt 22:21 | Glory Bound | 134069 | ||
What is an acceptiable "Biblical question?" Why can a "Biblical question" not be asked concerning politics? This sounds very much like the opposite end of another question concerning Church and state. Carefull with your answers, please. I know this is not a political forum. This is the very reason I participate herein, I hope to see biblical, not worldly answers. Are not the professors herein strong enough in the Word to give biblical answers concerning political questions without quarreling? There are many people who have sincere questions concerning biblical principles where politics are concerned. Questions which should be answered in such a forum. Were there a Christian Political forum, perhaps such would be better, but I know of none, so does this relieve us of our responsibilities as Christians concerning political questions? Or are we scaired that the true nature of some will surface and they may be seen in a different light? Scripture states that we should know our brethren. Not that we should knopw them except for their political views. Or do we in this forum, not wish to know one another this deep? Politics are nasty. We live in a nasty world. We are not to be conformed to this nasty world. But does this mean that just because we are Christians, we are not to vote, or share our questions and Gods Word concerning such? Or are we simply not to do this in the "Study Bible Forum?" Sincerely in Christ GB |

87 | What is an acceptiable "Biblical questn? | Matt 22:21 | Glory Bound | 134149 | ||
Perhaps, as I stated, rather than coming right to the point, one should ask, "Can a Christian support a party who advocates abortion, homosexual marriage and ultra liberalism," rather than using a more concise term i.e. "Democrat?" Unfortunately, some have a lesser command of the language than others, so can we not guide the discussion and point out the biblical truth which many are unaware of, because so many others who profess Christianity, also have their reasons for not shedding the light of the Word on such a question? "It is a Forum designed for and dedicated to the study of the word of God." And what is the Word? Is it not the "Living Word?" Knowledge is worthless without the use thereof? "We must obey God rather than men" Does this forum not advocate adherence to the Word? "It is not a sounding board for promoting opinions, biases, politics, or how to bake fudge brownies" Who said it was Hank? You are a man of God, Hank! Can you not understand what I am saying. I have not advocated anything which you denote, only a biblical discussion of matters which concern ALL Christians, when someone asks. Can we not remind them of the TOS, gently correct them concerning such, and then discuss the legitimate questions they may have, rather than scolding them and ignoring a legitimate question? "We need to seek God's wisdom and will for our lives; and having done this, it is doubtful than any of us will have any problem with making right political choices." And, dear brother, is it not Gods will that we teach and warn those who do not yet see, as do we? GB |

Great answer. The scripture you point out is the only answer to such a question. I am amazed that people can actually believe such atrocious claims. It is the enemys attempt to degrade the one and only actual occurance. GB |

90 | y is it harder for a rich man to enter.. | Luke 13:24 | Glory Bound | 130807 | ||
I have heard Mat 19:24 explained as you state. I even once accepted this as being correct, that the eye of a needle represented the "entrance in the city." However, I have since learned that it is incorrect, for the Greek word "rhaphis, pronounced; hraf-ece'" actually translates as needle. I have a dozen or more versions of scripture, including an excellent "Interlinear, Hebrew, Greek and English" version. None of them make reference to "the eye of a needle" representing "a gate entrance in the city." Can you please provide a reference for your statement? I am curious. You might say that if Jesus meant His statement literally, it would be impossible for a rich man to get into heaven. It is, if he places the trust that many of the rich place in their riches. Let me quote Matthew Henry concerning this verse. "He (Jesus) said this to his disciples, who were poor, (Remember Matthew? He had given up a prosperous position as a tax collector), and had but little in the world, to reconcile them to their condition with this, that the less they had of worldly wealth, the less hindrance they had in the way to heaven.It is very rare for a man to be rich, and not to set his heart upon his riches; and it is utterly impossible for a man that sets his heart upon his riches, to get to heaven; for if any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him, 1Jo_2:15; Jam_4:4. " Mat 19:24 is a proverbial expression, denoting a difficulty altogether unconquerable by the art and power of man; nothing less than the almighty grace of God will enable a rich man to get over this difficulty. The difficulty of the salvation of apostates (Heb_6:4), and of old sinners (Jer_13:23), is thus represented as an impossibility. If you have access to a Matthew Henry Commentary, you may be interested in reading his thoughts concerning this particular topic. God bless, and please remember 2 Timothy 2:15 GB |

94 | Is Jesus being called God or a God? | John 1:1 | Glory Bound | 129647 | ||
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:1-4 Our savior said in John 10:30, I and my Father are one. My friend, your friend "the Jehovah's Witnesses" is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He may seem sincere, but it is of a certainty that if he is a JW, he has been thoroughly brainwashed. If you do not wish to be done likewise, avoid any discussion of scripture with him. Jesus stated the above. He also told Phillip when he had asked him to show them the Father "Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?" John 14:9 My advise is that anyone who is not thoroughly familiar with scripture on a first hand basis, "not someone else's teachings on scripture," avoid any discussions with JW concerning scripture, for they are so sly and, no matter how wise you may consider yourself, they will have your mind so confused, you will not even know what has gotten hold of you. And believe me... what gets hold of you will not be something spoken kindly of in scripture... They can, and would confuse even the elect, if it were possible. Dear friend. Scriptural debates are enlightening and uplifting. That is IF they are among believers, "for where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."Mat 18:20 Until you are thoroughly prepared with the full armor of God, stick to the Christian camp Dear Soul, or you will be ravaged by the wolves.

Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one. Do you still need to ask that question? Actually He is not god. He is God. The God. The one and only God of gods and King of kings. GB |

98 | Understanding Psalms 45 | John 1:1 | Glory Bound | 129772 | ||
Here is what Matthew Henry states concerning Ps 45. I can think of no better way to put it. Psalms 45 - This psalm is an illustrious prophecy of Messiah the Prince: it is all over gospel, and points at him only, as a bridegroom espousing the church to himself and as a king ruling in it and ruling for it. It is probable that our Saviour has reference to this psalm when he compares the kingdom of heaven, more than once, to a nuptial solemnity, the solemnity of a royal nuptial, Mat_22:2; Mat_25:1. We have no reason to think it has any reference to Solomon's marriage with Pharaoh's daughter; if I thought that it had reference to any other than the mystical marriage between Christ and his church, I would rather apply it to some of David's marriages, because he was a man of war, such a one as the bridegroom here is described to be, which Solomon was not. But I take it to be purely and only meant of Jesus Christ; of him speaks the prophet this, of him and of no other man; and to him (Psa_45:6, Psa_45:7) it is applied in the New Testament (Heb_1:8), nor can it be understood of any other. The preface speaks the excellency of the song (Psa_45:1). The psalm speaks, I. Of the royal bridegroom, who is Christ. 1. The transcendent excellency of his person (Psa_45:2). 2. The glory of his victories (Psa_45:3-5). 3. The righteousness of his government (Psa_45:6, Psa_45:7). 4. The splendour of his court (Psa_45:8, Psa_45:9). II. Of the royal bride, which is the church. 1. Her consent gained (Psa_45:10, Psa_45:11). 2. The nuptials solemnized (Psa_45:12-15). 3. The issue of this marriage (Psa_45:16, Psa_45:17). In singing this psalm our hearts must be filled with high thoughts of Christ, with an entire submission to and satisfaction in his government, and with an earnest desire of the enlarging and perpetuating of his church in the world. To the chief musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil. A song of loves. GB |

True, but aren't there those of us who can defend the truth against the many who preach "the vain philosophies of man?" Or are we all afraid of the attacks suffered by those who do? The Internet is a world of wealth. Some Christians consider such forums a waste of time. I attest that anything one does that advocates the true Word, is worthwhile. As with everything good, there are those who will find a way to use it for bad. Can we Christians not serve our Master with the same steadfast perseverance as they? I just had to say that... GB |
