Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. KJV At this link is comparing the KJV with other modern Bible versions on . https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John 16%3A13&version=KJV;NIV;NKJV;ESV;NASB What does it mean that the Holy Spirit shall not speak of himself? What significance of expounding on that point that whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak? Does this mean that the Holy Spirit cannot speak His own words, but the words of Another? Since that is the trut…

Genesis 1: 1 ¶ In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 ¶ And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. What was before the First Day? I suggest Eternity

Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an o…

Seeing that I recieved positive feedback from some of my notes on Song of Solomon, I have decided to make this thread where I will periodically post bits and pieces of my verse by verse exposition, I pray that the Lord will use this to encourage you and strengthen you all: Song of Solomon Commentary Introduction Song of Solomon is a book that is sadly most often neglected, and one that I have hardly heard preaching or teaching on. I was lead to ask the Lord why he had inspired it. I then set out to do a 6 month study on the book to figure out what it's spiritual value was, and I find Song of Solomon to be a deep well of water, which brings refreshment to the soul. Accor…

Modern-day "prophets", word of knowledgists, et al... ...proclaim that a "spiritual experience" equals truth regardless of God's word. They place whatever "spiritual experience" they experience above God's word. After all, "it" happened to them, so it must be true, and it must be of God...even when their "experience" opposes God's word. We have an entire movement that is experience-based. They want to experience God. They want to witness a miracle. They want to have a "feeling". They want a manifestation. We have an entire movement that exalts temporal feelings and experiences over faith. In their quest to "experience God", they will open themselves up to all kinds of fal…

2 Samuel 21:19 (ESV-English Standard Version) And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, the Bethlehemite, struck down Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. ...oops...wait...sorry...just ignore that last verse! After reading the dual account in 1 Chronicles 20:5, the ESV corrects its mistake. 1 Chronicles 20:5 (ESV-English Standard Version) And there was again war with the Philistines, and Elhanan the son of Jair struck down Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. I guess there ARE contradictions in the...err...uhmmm..."Bible".

Okay.. so this forum is mainly about independent fundamental baptists teaching... Now.. Why then are so many in here talking about church with a big 'C'? Surely.. if you are independent baptist.. church is going to be a local body and a local body only? I thought that is what seperated independent baptists from every other group that calls themselves baptist.. But it appears I was wrong. I am starting to understand, 'independent baptist' could just as well mean someone who is in the baptist union..eg UK baptist union.. NZ baptist union.. or any other kind of baptist. So.. church with a big 'C'.. are you talking about 'every believer living and dead' ? If so... biblicall…

Matthew 25 1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for…

When I read "this generation" I saw it as only being Jews, in parts of the gospels. It occurred to me that I have been excluding all of my gentile peoples before Jesus was put to death. I include them at the end of Jesus life, the trial and death but before then I don't. I included them at the end of time but for some reason left out the Romans, and the neighboring communities where Jesus done mighty works, why? I don't know, blindness I guess. None of the gentile Romans who Jesus helped stepped forward to talk to Pontius Pilate. None of the common gentiles who Jesus cured came forward to help Pilate. So when Jesus was saying this generation it meant more than just the J…

At the start of his ministry. Matthew 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. Luke 4:3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. Matthew 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Luke 4:9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: At the end of …

Exodus from Egypt - Deuteronomy 1:35-36 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers, 36 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.

1 Corinthians 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 1 Corinthians 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. The History Matthew 26:26-30 And as they were eating (passover), Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say…

Let me preface this by reminding everyone that though I agree with much of Dispensationalism, I don't consider myself to be a Dispensationalist...and I sure don't consider myself as a Covenant Theologian. It appears that this is similar to "you're either a Calvinist or an Arminian". Well, no I'm not; I'm neither. Now, I guess you're either a Dispensationalist or a Covenant Theologian. Well, not I'm not. Anyway, R.C. Sproul has put a spin on Dispensationalism that I've never...Never...NEVER heard before. I've never heard any dispensationalist make the following claim.

Paul is writing in reply to a question from the Corinthian Church (verse 1); obviously a question about the married state between a man and a woman. He speaks part of this chapter without citing a direct commandment of the Lord. Paul defers to the Lord's commandment in verses 10-11. However, Paul writes, in "But I speak this by permission and not of commandment." But the 'this' in verse 6 is difficult for me to "rightly divide." Paul continues after verses 10-11 with further discourse in verses 12-40. But it appears in verse 40b he cites authority of the Holy Spirit, "and I think also that I have the Spirit of God." Also, I would like to confirm Paul's authority is the …

This is on a blog site that I know of......I have permission to post it here. Has God cast aside Israel?There is a whole raft of people out that that have been taught that Christians replace Israel as God’s chosen people. Those who teach this do so primarily so that they can apply the rules and laws pressed upon Israel onto Christians, and so that their teachers can take the authority and position of priests. Pastors are not priests (well at least not any more than any other saved person is a priest), but that is for another time.This teaching, which takes several different forms and names, but which is called usually “replacement theology” or sometimes “covenant theology…

Hello all, your time is appreciated even if I do get a bit ratty at times. This post is more the essence of what I am trying to say in 'Scriptural Election?'. Sorry if it isn't very well written since I am no literary genius. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you... Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: If we can assume just for now that God does elect some, and not others, is it in Scripture and how could a just God ch…

As far as I can see, the two main covenants are the old and the new, The Old Covenant of works was made specifically with Moses and the Isrealites but the laws contained in it applied to everyone on earth Ro 2:14-15, it was never to bring redemption atonement or eternal salvation, all that was promised in the New covenant. The New Covenant which we enter into when we are born again. Abraham inherited the promise but not the fulfilment. I've had a look at covenant theology, but it isn't based on scripture, and I've had a look at some dispensational theology, but they think the New Covenant isn't for us or for now. I think the new covenant is basicly the contract of Salvati…

The Lord persevered his words unto all generations. Psalms 12:6-7 6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. When the Lord gave scripture to O.T. Jews, he gave it to them in their language. When the Lord gave scripture to N.T. Christians, he gave it to them in the language of the day. Then the Lord gave nations Holy Bibles in their language. Finally, the Lord gave the entire world Holy Bibles in the universal language, which was translated into languages throughout the world. The KJV Holy Bible is the most translated bib…

Here's a question that should pose some interesting debate:D It's got me confused. Act 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. Act 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Pentacost - filled with the spirit Act 2:7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? Act 2:8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we…

And my annual "like" of Brother Dave's annual post is also now done. -
By TheGloryLand · Posted
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
