No, Neil, there is nothing un-biblical about having a paid ministry. Depends on how one defines ministry. Do not read modern conventions of vocation into 1 Tim. 5:17-18. It is unsurprising that this text is bent by those with a professional interest in doing so. Why would pastors teach themselves out of their jobs? |

“ Wonderful sermon! ”
And so very timely, indeed! I fear I am one of those who, out of my ignorance, admired George Bush beyond what he deserved! But, live and learn!
Yes, this that you mention is what I have continuously noticed with these "play-acting" preachers who don't even refer to the Bible during their so-called "sermons!"
These, like Joel Olsteen solidify the image of Christ/God being one jolly good fellow whose sole purpose is to see that our self-esteem is boosted!
Great learning, again, Pastor Bryan!
Thank you, and may God bless you! |

contd.Remember what I posted earlier and now read through Hebs chapters 8-11 and you will see that the NC (also called a Testament) was inaugurated by Christ's coming and sealed with his blood. Christ is the fulfillment of the OT typology which was part of the first covt (the legal) which could NEVER be effectual. As respects the particular promise that OT believers had become familiar with viz, "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.." Christ is specifically said to have accomplished this by his once for all sacrifice Hebs 10.18 The continual contrast between the old and new covenants in the Hebs passages in most enlightening. Read also Gals. The Presbys fail to understand: 1. The legal obligation of those who were circumcised viz. to obey the whole law! 2. That circumcision was only ever a sign and seal to Abraham of the righteousness that comes through faith. 3. That to his posterity, it was only ever a sign of their membership of the legal covt.! 4. That benefits under that covt to his posterity were **conditional** & never all the same as those promised to Abraham!! TBC. |

I think Bill Clinton appointed Ginsberg, didn't he? Everything else you said sounds good, though. She is a Clinton appointee. Obama's appointee's are worse (Sotomayer and Kagan). |

I stand by what I said...and I'll also add this:1. God says that every word of scripture is PURE. 2. God says that He has PRESERVED these pure words. 3. God tells us to obey these PURE words that He has PRESERVED. Very plain, very simple. No wonder the devil didn't challenge the Lord Jesus Christ when He said, "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD that PROCEEDETH OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD." The devil couldn't challenge that statement, but plenty people today do! The argument that the King James Bible is too hard to understand is ridiculous. If that's your conclusion then you'd better never own a good set of encyclopedias. You'll find a vast multitude of words you won't be familiar with. The fact of the matter is that many people are lazy-minded and want everything the easy way. Of course, the Bible publishers are more than willing to oblige ($$$) by printing more and more diluted Bible versions. I believe what God says. I'm glad that I can hold in my hands the pure and preserved Word of God, the King James Bible. |

“ Great Sermon! ”
Hi. Great sermon comes up by default! I wouldn't of included it.
The problem with government giving permits is they can refuse to give them as is done in many states depriving millions from defending themselves and their families.
Government restricted Jews in Germany from owning guns. How did that work out? Where were the Christians there? Many gun laws were made to keep guns out of minorities hands. Go back and read your history.
You make a joke of this by saying we get people saved and give them a bible and a gun. Hahaha very funny. Too bad millions of people are raped, robbed and murdered every year because they believe the lie that Christians should not defend against evil. Go look at Sudan and how they resist their government!
What is a better witness? A women being raped by a criminal and defended with a person with a gun or that same person waiting till the rape is done then telling that woman "don't worry, all things work together for good."
Bibles being in everybody's hands and able to read it is a great thing. It keeps knowledge available to people and not in the hands of hirelings.
Try going back and reading sermons from J Vernon Mcgee on Luke 22:36 or other preachers from the last several hundred years and see how much you vary from history. |

John UK wrote:
..Was the OT a covenant of works? .. I always thought that God's ways with sinners was always grace? John, in a sense the 2 have always run side by side. Law as a present reality and the NC as a PROMISE through the expected seed. So as I pointed out previously, salvation by grace was announced to Adam and Eve in Gen 3.15. A promised savior! Then we have in Abraham the lesson that righteousness comes through faith. He believed the promises of God! We know that he saw Christ's day, no doubt in the proposed sacrifice of Isaac and the substitutionary sacrificial animal that was provided. To Abraham it was revealed that through his seed (viz. Christ) all the nations of the world would be blessed etc. Abraham understood the land promise as relating to a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. He with others in the OT desired a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city!! BUT Heb 11.13 tells us that all the OT believers died in faith, not having received the promises but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them! The promised covenant was to them still a future event. TBC |

Hi John,How did you get on with "The Abrahamic covenant"? Bottom line is that there are only 2 covenants; Works/Law and the New Covt (termed by some as COG). Whenever you read the NT what you will find is that circumcision is consistently seen as part of the legal covenant, NEVER as part of the New Covt, and it therefore enjoined on the people the obedience to THE WHOLE LAW (Gal 5.3). Lurker has already referred to this. Cicumcision was a type of something that the Israelites could never attain to by self effort viz. the circumcision of Christ, the circumcision not made with hands. The putting off the body of the sins of the flesh (Col 2). Dying to self. Does baptism in the NT point to the same? Not directly. Baptism speaks more about our communion with Christ in his death, burial and resurrection. "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." Romans 6.3,4 Circumcision pointed to the need for regeneration, Baptism signals regeneration accomplished & our identity with Christ in his death, burial and resurrection. TBC.. |

Dyslexic,written off as educationally sub-normal,he found a book in his father’s room and as he read it, copied it out, and memorised portions of it, this book changed Robert’s life. He was converted one night in 1957:From the moment I knelt on the floor of my cold room and accepted Jesus as my Saviour, I became aware of a dimension of God and an ever-available Jesus I did not know before. From that moment, too, the Bible became a miracle book in my own soul. God had touched me supernaturally and my life would never be the same again."
http://www.emw.org.uk/magazine/2011/06/thank-you-king-james/The young man had never read or possessed a book until he copied out the KJV. What happened to the English Language since 1957 when the KJV was still readable and THE standard Bible, very little? Methinks this article below by an Iranian converted as a teenager spells out why the likes of old Jim Lincoln misrepresent plain facts. The Authorised Version:Its Relevance Among the Young in a Multicultural Society Pastor Pooyan Mehrshahi 'the problem of relevance that we face in our generation does not lie with the young; it lies with the old'
http://www.tbsbibles.org/pdf_reports/199-1.pdf#page=31 I Tim 3: 16 in the JW Bible? No wonder they jettisoned The STANDARD Bible! |

To "GROW"
"Perhaps in one case out of a thousand men are converted by the immediate agency of God—so indeed are all, in one sense. But usually, in 99 cases out of a hundred, God is pleased to use the instrumentality of His ministering servants of His Word—of Christian men or some other means to bring us to the Savior.Most persons have been convinced by the pious conversation of sisters, by the holy example of mothers, by the minister, by the Sunday school teacher, or by the reading of tracts or Scripture. Let us not, therefore, believe that God will often work without instruments! Let us not sit down silently and say, “God will do His own work.” It is quite true He will. But then He does His work by using His children as instruments. He does not say to the Christian when he is converted, “Sit down. I have nothing for you to do but I will do all Myself and have all the Glory.” No. He says, “You are a poor weak instrument. You can do nothing. But lo, I will strengthen you and I will make you thrash the mountains and beat them small, and make the hills as chaff—and so shall I get more honor through your having done it than if I would, had My own strong arm flattened the mountains and broken them in pieces!” (C.H.Spurgeon) |
