Hey Matt, let's see what scripture says. Psalms 5:5-6 (KJV) 5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. Because every person is conceived in sin, they are...

Hello Matt, a very important principle to understand is that no translation is inspired, they are all merely translations of the inspired Word of God which is the original Hebrew and Greek. With that said, all we have to do to determine which translation has translated Psalm 7:11 faithfully...

First of all, we have to let the Bible tell us what the punishment for sin is. It’s death. Romans 6:23 (KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. So, Christ who knew no sin (meaning, he was sinless) was made to be sin ion behalf of...

There is nothing in the scriptures that was inserted by a mere whim to take up unnecessary space. All of scripture is given for doctrine, that includes Mark 8:23-25. What every Bible student needs to ask is, why did God put that there? After all, these are God’s words, not man’s. In this...

It depends if you are truly saved or not. If you are truly saved then the wrath of God is no longer upon you, but if you are still in your sins (meaning unsaved, which would make you wicked) then yes indeed, God is extremely angry with you. Psalms 7:11 (KJV) God judgeth the righteous, and God...

Only the Word of God has the final authority when it comes to interpretations. The Bible is clear that no part of scripture is of any private (one’s own) interpretation. 2 Peter 1:20-21 (KJV) 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the...

Sin is defined by the Bible, so we don’t have to speculate. 1 John 3:4 (KJV) 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And the Bible defines the law as the whole word of God, not just the 10 commandments. John 10:34 (KJV) 34 Jesus answered...

The Bible is so much more than a historical record of evidences of God dealing with mankind. It is primarily a spiritual book written by God himself which contains the message of the gospel all throughout its historical records. Romans 7:14 (KJV) 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but...

Hello Scott, I have taken the time to read many of the posts here and was drawn in by the title of your thread. As of late, I have come across many people who lean more and more on being led by the Spirit over what the written text of the Bible states. The common belief here is that the Spirit...

I do have a habit of writing too much.

@post, we first have to remember that when Jesus was teaching and declaring his truth that he was always speaking in parables. Matthew 13:34 (KJV 1900) All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: A parable is spoken with the...

@MatthewG, thank you for your reply. I have always found it tremendously helpful to be able to substantiate any bible study principle or doctrine I hold to be true with an example or passage form the Bible. The reason I mention this is because the historical, grammatical method (which is what...

One of my favorite biblical accounts comes from the Book of 1 Kings. It is a historical account of an evil King who ruled the nation of Israel, this king’s name was Ahab. In this account, God has laid out some amazing truths which are always relevant to the child of God. 1 Kings 22:3 And the...

Hello @MatthewG, Whenever we look into the scriptures, it's best not to look at who the earthly scribes are, as they are insignificant insofar as what message is being proclaimed. For example, your quote stated that Paul suggested to Timothy, in his written letter, to study. But it's actually...
