Questions
- I understand your question about John 8:30-31, but it seems to me that we are left with a certain amount of doubt here. We know from James 2:19 that there is a kind of intellectual belief that is not saving faith. We know fr...
- I think our safest and most reliable course of action is to see how the term is used and understood in the New Testament. Here are the references to "Son of God" in the NT: Matt. 4:3; 4:6; 8:29; 26:63; 27:40; 27:43; 27:54 ...
- As for Mark 16, I suspect that Wayne Grudem did not say things quite the way you've represented him. The canon consists of books; but canonicity is not about individual verses, or even groups of verses. We simply cannot be ...
- I think you've raised a good question. We must also recognize that the exact point at which a person is saved may not be known. When, for example, were each of the disciples saved? The point James is making is that while f...
- There is no question that the issue of God's sovereignty, election, and man's responsibility to believe has perplexed the minds of men for centuries. Here man's finite mind crashes against the infinite mind of God. The best s...
- The thought of a sacrifice for sin underlies the whole message of the Bible. The fact that John 3:17; John 8:11,12 and other promises do not specifically refer to this does not violate in any way the broad, general principle....
- I think the answer to your question is to be found in 1 Corinthians chapter 5. First, let me give you the link to a sermon on that text, and then I'll make a few comments. The church at Corinth had a serious problem. One of ...
- I think you are right to look hard at the divorce texts, like Mark 10. The only exception seems to be found in Ezra 10 and Nehemiah 13, where divorce is virtually commanded. These marriages were illegitimate since the wives t...
- You seem to be bothered by the thought that all sinners are worthy of hell, apart from Christ. You speak of "the tiniest of sins," which I find quite interesting. The Bible says that sin is lawlessness (1 John 3:4; see also R...

This commandment deals with adultery only. Whereas murder violates life itself, adultery violates the most important and sacred human relationship, marriage.88God dealt with other forms of sexual sin elsewhere (cf. chs. 22-25...

Though Mark did not record it, Jesus gave His disciples much additional instruction as they travelled from Capernaum in Galilee toward Jerusalem (cf. Matt. 8:19-22; 18:15-35; Luke 9:51-18:14; John 7:2-11:54). Evidently Jesus ...

John began his Gospel by locating Jesus before the beginning of His ministry, before His virgin birth, and even before Creation. He identified Jesus as co-existent with God the Father and the Father's agent in providing creat...

The first section of the prologue (vv. 1-5) presents the preincarnate Word. The second section (vv. 6-8) identifies the forerunner of the Word's earthly ministry. This third section introduces the ministry of the Incarnate Wo...
-
This pericope explains why Jesus must become greater. It also unites several themes that appear through chapter 3. John the Apostle or John the Baptist may be the speaker. This is not entirely clear.3:31-32 The incarnate Son ...

The textual authenticity of this pericope is highly questionable. Most ancient Greek manuscripts dating before the sixth century do not contain it. However, over 900 ancient manuscripts do contain it including the important e...

8:12 The context of the events in this paragraph continues to be the temple during the feast of Tabernacles (v. 20, cf. 7:14). Jesus was speaking to the Jews who had assembled there some of whom were residents of Jerusalem an...

10:40 John presented Jesus' departure from Jerusalem as the result of official rejection of Him. The event had symbolic significance that the evangelist probably intended. Jesus withdrew the opportunity for salvation from the...

In contrast to the hatred that the religious leaders manifested stands the love that Mary demonstrated toward the One she had come to believe in. Her act of sacrificial devotion is a model for all true disciples. This is the ...

John followed the climactic proof that Jesus is God's Son with an explanation of his purpose for writing this narrative of Jesus' ministry. This explanation constitutes a preliminary conclusion to the book.20:30 "Therefore"ti...

This pericope furnishes the plot for the drama that unfolds in the rest of the chapter.12:1 John saw a "sign,"something that signified or represented something else (cf. v. 3; 13:13-14; 15:1; 16:14; 19:29). Usually John used ...
