Excellent! Praise God! And let every Baptist posting on this "Baptist Theology & Bible Study" forum say Amen!

I think the longest sentence in the Bible might be the first sentence in the epistles, Rom 1. It is 7 verses long. The first clause in the sentence might be the theme for all the letters of the great apostle Paul. It reads like this; "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle...

The language of the scriptures is very precise because the words are the words of God. He is not careless about their use and he makes no mistakes. A soul winner has much more liberty with the words he uses to attempt to persuade a sinner to believe in Jesus and to be saved than the preacher who...

It is true about style. I only need to prove it from scripture because I am believing what the words say according to commonly held definitions and some people say that commonly held definitions is not the Biblical way. Who is doing that? well, you for one! But ky, I am just trying to help. I...

John and Matthew wrote: ky, I have followed your logic and reasoning from the scriptures for a few years now. You do not believe anything in the scripture is literal. I quoted eye witness accounts of what was said and done and the order in which they happened. I accepted what was said...

You are assuming a lot. God blessed them according to whom?

I would say something about the parables of Jesus in the gospels. His ministry during those days was to the Jews, to Israel, only. His message, and that of the ones he chose as his 12 apostles, one to rule over each tribe, and 70 elders was after the pattern of Moses when Israel was birthed as a...

The number 40 is the number in the scriptures for "probation." This would be easy to prove if I wanted to give examples from the many places it is used that way, I am not going to here but I am going to note an instance in our context where there is a connection to this generation and it will be...

The book of Matthew is the book of the King. It has for it's emphasis to present Jesus as having the right credentials to be the Messiah of Israel, which includes being a son of Abraham and a son of David. Matthew makes this a matter of written record of an apostle in 65 AD about the same time...

Noted. Thanks.

That was not my point. My point is that all the OT prophecies were not fulfilled at the first coming of Jesus Christ. I quoted Jesus saying in Luke 24 that his purpose for coning is to fulfill all (with the emphasis on all) those OT prophecies and a great number of them concerned fulfilling the...

The 13 mentions in Matthew of the generation into which Jesus Christ came. I highlighted how he characterized it. Matthew 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Matthew 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his...

@DavidLamb, @Martin Marprelate @canadyjd You guys seems to always approach the Bible academically first. But God is a Spirit who became a man. He devised and presented a solution to the sin problem, sin that corrupted his creation and separated us from a holy God. He did this by establishing a...

Thank you Anthony. I would want to be sure that there were no prophecies concerning Jesus Christ in the Law of Moses or the prophets or the Psalms that was left unfulfilled when Jesus came. He said he came to fulfill all the things concerning him. The generation he was born into put the King of...

Do you have an opinion about the rebuke of the generation of Israel whose charge it was to receive their promised Messiah and was rebuked and charged with the unpardonable sin for their failure?
