The Form Of Sound Words
by Guest- 3 replies
- 688 views
2 Timothy 1 11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. Verse 12 has always been a favorite of mine even when it is sung as a congregational hymn. Verse 13 however, is another verse I've gone by while not taking notice as I should. If I were preparing a message I believe a lot could come from this…

Some Mens Sins

I’m not sure but, I think the scripture here is still talking about selecting men for the ministry. I ran across it in my daily reading and hoped others might have some insight on what is for me a difficult passage. 1 Timothy 5:24 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. “Open beforehand” I’m wondering if this would point to Galatians 5:19-21 and the manifest works of the flesh? Galatians 5 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, …

Prov 22: 28 ¶ Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. Scripture sets up many landmarks for us but many are being removed in today's churches. This is not surprising as that happened in NT times as well, for instance: Gal. 1:6 ¶ I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Paul marvelled, or was amazed that they soon followed other teachings. Today many follow other teachings. There is much emphasis on 'experience' rather than teaching. The gospel service is missing from many conservative baptist churches,some majoring on teaching, others on 'praise'. About 30 years, or so, …

In Revelation 22:18-19 KJV it says, "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." Many use this quote (along with others) to show Mormons that in fact no book should follow the Bible. Our response is normally that the books are not in any type of chronological order so Revelations isn't necessarily the last book. Do…

What an opening statement in Ephesians! What a chapter! For me, it was clear these Bible verses describe Christ’s birth, death, and resurrection. Birth 1 PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: 2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:1, 2 Grace and Peace – It is the blessing to Christians world wide to think of Jesus Christ’s birth at this time of year. The scriptures we read and the song’s we sing all relate to the birth of our Savior. …

A Look At Matthew 16 Vs Dogma

The Roman Church continues it's attempt to perpetrate the same errors over and over again. Each time one pops up I let God's word correct them. I saw an RC error referenced in another thread and need to quell it before any may be subverted from it. The error is quoted below: Here is the study I completed many years ago: A look at Matthew 16 vs dogma The best commentary on scripture is scripture. Matthew 16:13-23 13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. …

Mother Or Stepmother? 1 2

1 Corinthians 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. Do you suppose "that one" was the wife's son or maybe a stepson?

To Die And Live With You
by Guest 1Timothy115- 4 replies
- 567 views
To say the Corinthians had problems within the church at Corinth would be an understatement. Paul had to verbally lambaste them to get them to recognize the rampant fornication (1 Cor. 5) among them as a sin which would denigrate Christianity. So, what would cause Paul to say the following? 2 Corinthians 7:3 “…for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.” What made the Corinthians so dear to Paul? Does anyone have a reason?

An House Not Made With Hands How many scriptures can be found dealing with the invisible work of the Holy Spirit in a Christian’s life? 2 Corinthians 5 1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 5 Now he that hath wrought us for the self…

Treasure In Earthen Vessels

This morning after devotions I went to attend a funeral for the father of a close friend. I received another blessing from my morning devotions and thought I would share it. Treasure In Earthen Vessels Pottery, what do we know about pottery? It’s made from the dust of the earth! We have a lot of red clay in the region where I live and American natives used it to make pottery for thousands of years. The process for making pottery is still in use today. The moistened clay is shaped by the hands of the potter. After shaping the clay is hardened in the potter’s fire and the shaped clay becomes pottery. After firing the newly formed pottery is set aside to cool; if used …

Living Walking Epistles

Those daily devotionals...they point right at me. So, the thought occurred and so I'm sharing. How many know what a newspaper stand is? I've seen movies with persons buying a newspaper or magazine at an outside newsstand. There are news stands and kiosks in airports. Locally we have indoor newsstands at several locations; in doors but essentially the same. Years ago, I used to attempt to buy the earliest copies of college football news. Just for a moment, imagine a man is standing before the magazine rack and trying to decide what to purchase. Now, imagine yourself as a magazine, looking out and hoping the man will purchase you. Which shelf at the newspaper stand ar…

Not Be Once Named Among You
by Guest 1Timothy115- 6 replies
- 1k views
I was reading in 2nd Corinthians today and we’ve recently seen a lot of the worldly entering into our churches these days. So, I thought I would share what I found and ask for added thoughts. How troubled should we be over the sin of fornication? How would the church, the outward symbol of faith in Christ, be regarded if this sin was rampant within? This was such an egregious sin Paul addressed it early in 1 Co. 5:4,5 and was still addressing the same incident in his next epistle, 2 Co. 2:6-7. Christ condemned fornication (Mt. 15:19), the Apostles rejected fornication (Acts 15:20), and the scriptures testify against fornication (1 Co. 6:18). Today in our society …

Hello; new congress woman - bi-sexual openly. Women libbers have their own bible wi/o Paul's writings. But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. Titus 2:1-5 (KJV) Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it…

Preterist Bible? 1 2

I looked at this site and checked out which version they are using. I can't figure out which version these folks are using, but it is NOT KJV. It is a bible filled with Preterist notes. Here is the link to the site: http://bibleprophecy...eristbible.html The commentary notes are in PDF. Here is the link to the Bible w/o the notes. http://www.bibleprop...of_contents.pdf Here's another link....I think it must be their "Intro" page: http://www.bibleprophecyfulfilled.org/ BTW, I am NOT promoting this Bible and I am NOT a Preterist in any way, shape or form!

I was reading in 1 Cor. 2:1-16 today. It looks like there is a great example of how to be a witness. If you have time take a look at that chapter. I think I could make a Sunday School lesson out of it, only 16 verses, I think I could cover those in an hour.

Genesis 27:1 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I. Do you think this is a description of cataracts?

Carbon Dating - Court Appearance

I would love to see the individual who can carbon date faith. John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. It doesn't matter a little what can be proved in a court of man's law, it doesn't matter eternally. John 14:10-12 10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

All, I'm looking for a good, Baptist book on systematic theology. I'd prefer something that is not an introductory level book. I'm more interested in something that would be used as a senior level undergraduate book or even a graduate level book. Any ideas? Thanks.

We know the OT Sabbath is Saturday. The Idiotic Papal Bull attempting to change it to Sunday is bunk. The Papacy even removed the commandment about idol worship. What about the NT times - for most the Sabbath is Saturday. But for the children of God; we have enter into His rest thusly making every day a day of prayer and worship. Every day is a Sabbath for the child of God. He brews not she brews ----- proof that the guy is suppose to get up and make coffee Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did …

1 Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. What do you say about the verses below and regarding the verse above? I understand the definition of the word “prophesy” (foretelling or preaching) so, that’s not in question. To what is Paul referring here? I think these below could be referring to revelation or interpretation from the Bible. I’m not sure, particularly with v.32. 1 Corinthians 14:29-33 29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. 30 If any thing be revealed to another tha…

Are all bible versions 99.5% the same? One of the common and most obvious falsehoods we often hear by those who rail against the idea that the King James Bible is the complete, inspired and 100% true words of God is the claim that all thousands of textual variations out there are very minor and not of any real importance, and that the various bible versions are basically 99.5% the same. These ridiculous claims by those who do not believe that ANY Bible in ANY language are the complete, preserved and infallible words of God are so easily proven to be absurdly false that one has to assume that such people are either speaking out of complete ignorance of the facts or th…

Those that don’t have Sunday evening services, I blame the leaders and the members. The members were too lazy to come to the evening services, and the leaders finally gave up. Where I am attending they changed Wednesday night services, to Friday nights. You cannot really call this a midweek service for it’s already the weekend. After Covid, churches have changed much. -
We have an adult Bible study at 9.30am, main service at 10.15am, evening service at 6pm, prayer meeting Wednesday night. Evening service and prayer meeting are poorly attended, but as we have our own building it costs us nothing to have a service for 9 or 10 people. Only the morning service is well attended. The number of services and the times of those services are not important, but my personal view has always been that you should be in the house of the Lord as often as you can. I don't understand people who ask why they should be in every service..... my question to them is always "Why wouldn't you want to be in every service you can?" Psalms 122 1 A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. (My annual post is now done! 😊) -

My brother and sister in law live in Riverview FL, as are my niece and her husband. I talked to my brother this morning and he said the storm surge was really bad but that they are okay. My sister in Augusta Georgia called at 3AM and said they had sustained winds of 65 mph with gusts up to 95 mph. The power is out. My BIL is using his Police radio to keep track of what's going on. They had to have a lady my sister takes care of in their home as she was very fearful. A lot of damage in their area. We've had some flooding here. Please keep us in your prayers. Thank you BT -

A realtor friend of mine was just given a diagnosis of terminal cancer. They've given him six months to a year to live. He's saved and is active in several different forms of ministry as he's able. He's just 3 days older than I am. We're both associated with the Cowboy Church movement. His son Harley was the one that I had requested prayer for last year after he was shot 5 times. This has come as a shock to many of us, and has probably hit a little closer to home for me as I have been given from 5-7 years because of my lungs. Please pray for Steve that he'll continue serving the Lord and not become discouraged. Thank you BT
