351: Official creed of Awana Clubs International (A.W.A.N.A.)
A.W.A.N.A. (Awana Clubs International) Doctrinal Statement AWANA DOCTRINAL STATEMENT THE BIBLE We believe that the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is supernaturally inspired, so that it is inerrant in the original manuscripts and preserved by God in its verbal and plenary inspiration, so that it is a divinely authoritative standard for every age and every life. (Matthew 5:18; 1 Corinthians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21) GOD We believe in one God that eternally exists and reveals Himself in three persons - ... We believe that the establishment and continuance of the local church is clearly taught in the New Testament Scriptures. (Acts 14:27, 20:17, 28-32; 1 Timothy 3:1-13; Titus 1:5-11) We believe that the local church is autonomous and free of any external authority or control. (Acts 13:1-4, 20:28; Romans 16:1, 4; 1 Corinthians 3:9, 16, 5:4-7, 13; 1 Peter 5:1-4) THE ORDINANCES We believe the ordinances for the believer are water baptism by immersion and the Lord's supper as a ... ...

352: Why Are There Different Versions Of The Bible???
versions of the Bible. There is one Bible. First we need to understand what we mean by a "version". A better word than "version" is "translation". The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek. If every man could read Hebrew and Greek, then we would have no need for an "English version". Most people can't read Greek, "It's all Greek to me"! We must rely, therefore, upon men who are fully fluent in English and Greek. These "scholars" read the original Greek Bible and come up with an English equivalent. This process is called translation. We have all seen a foreign diplomat give a news conference through the help of a translator. One translator may choose different words or sentences, but the message is identical. Translation is a reliable science of communicating between different languages. Remember, it was God Himself who created all the language barriers in Genesis 11 at the Tower of Babel. God is satisfied that His inspired word can be ... ...

353: Douglas, J. D. & Bruce F. F.: New Bible Dictionary
This would indicate both His deity and preexistence. (New Bible Dictionary, J. D. Douglas & F. F. Bruce, Trinity, p 1298) In the Old Testament: Though the doctrine is not developed in the Old Testament, it is implicit in the divine self disclosure from the very beginning. But in accordance with the historical character or the divine revelation it is presented at first only in a very rudimentary form. this is found not only in isolated passages but interwoven in the entire organism of the Old Testament revelation. The earliest foreshadowing is contained in the narrative of the creation, where Elohim is seen to create by means of Word and Spirit (Gn. i. 3). (New Bible Dictionary, J. D. Douglas & F. F. Bruce, Trinity, p 1298) It is thought that Gn. i. 26 ('And God said, Let us make man in our image and after our likeness') implies that a revelation of the Triune God had been given to man when first created, inasmuch as he was to be given the divine fellowship, but that the consciousness ... ...

357: Does God Approve Instrumental Music in church?
Because that which is not of faith is sin, it is unnecessary that the Word of God prohibit the act; it is only necessary that it be uncommanded. Hence, the argument that instruments of music may be used because the Bible does not prohibit their use, is wrong. God has always required that man obey His directions; faith is defined as man's obedience to God's will, and man's actions contrary to God's will are called sin. Although the way in which God deals with man changed at the time of Christ's death, God never changes. Thus, God (who expected obedience in Old Testament times) expects obedience in New Testament times. This includes our era, today. In speaking of historical occasions in the Old Testament, Paul, in Romans 15:4 said, "For whatsoever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope." One of these historical occasions is when God dealt with the first of mankind, Cain and Abel, the children of ... ...

359: Sola Scriptura: Moses' Seat is not an antitype of the Papal authority ...
Refutation of the false Catholic & Orthodox tradition argument: "Moses' Seat is the antitype of the Papal authority and proof of both oral tradition and Papal succession. Matthew 23:2. Jesus relies on the oral tradition of acknowledging Moses' seat of authority, which passed from Moses to Joshua to the Sanhedrin." Refutation of Catholic and Orthodox false argument: Moses' Seat was revealed in Exodus 18:13! So much for the statement by Orthodox and Catholic tradition defenders: "Unfortunately for sola Scriptura advocates, the "Chair of Moses" is nowhere to be found in the Old Testament." Perhaps they should read the Bible a little more themselves and they wouldn't make such statements of error. We call this the Traditionalists "daily double" argument, because it is actually "two for the price of one"! Tradition defenders, not only want to use the expression, "Moses' seat" as proof of succession, they also tell us that the scriptures do not reveal such succession. Only through oral ... ...

360: Kittel, Gerhard: Theological Dictionary of the New Testament
The way Jehovah's Witnesses misuse and misrepresent Kittel's work is Satanic! Kittle refers to the threefold formulae IN THE BIBLE ITSELF, not later trinitarian dogma! Do Arians believe that polytheism influenced the text in 2 Cor 13:13 and Mt 28:19? Kittel's comments do not exclude the Arian view (JW's) of God from his comment, for JW's are just as "polythesitic" as trinitarians, FROM A PAGAN POINT OF VIEW.. But notice that Kittle dismisses this possible thought and gives his opinion that trinitarian doctrine had it origin in the Old Testament, and not PAGANISM. By creating a false dilemma and selective quoting, they deceive the reader into drawing a false ...

The archaeology of the Iron Age (c. 1200 - 586 BC) in the southern Levant (Israel, the Palestinian territories, Jordan and adjacent areas) has been fraught with controversy ever since its nineteenth century beginnings primarily because it is linked with issues concerning the historicity of the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible.

Some further detail is given in "The Eerdman's Bible Dictionary", Rev. Ed., 1975: CROSS ... Crucifixion is first attested among the Persians (cf. Herodotus, Hist. i.128.2; iii.132.2, 159.1), perhaps derived from the Assyrian impalement. It was later employed by the Greeks, especially Alexander the Great, and by the Carthaginians, from whom the Romans adapted the practice as a punishment for slaves and non-citizens, and occasionaly for citizens guilty of treason. Although in the Old Testament the corpses of blasphemers or idolaters punished by stoning might be handged "on a tree" as further humiliation (Deut. 21:23), actual crucifixion was not introduced in Palestine until Hellenistic times. The Seleucid Antiochus IV Epiphanes crucified those Jews who would not accept hellenization (Josephus Ant. xii.240-41; cf 1 Macc. 1:44-50). Archeological proof of the cross, as opposed to a stake.

Ps 151 is written in the first hand from the mouth of King David. b. It may be apocryphal and/or pseudepigraphal, meaning that it was not written by David but was penned much later as poetry etc. c. There are no additional truths revealed in Ps 151 that are not already revealed in the Bible and especially 1 Sam 16-17 so its ... The Hebrew version is extant as two psalms, labeled 151A and 151B, though most of B is damaged. This scroll includes other Psalms that were similarly excluded from later Christian canons and the Hebrew Bible canon, but may have held liturgical significance in the Second Temple period and after. Psalm 151 is included in the Greek ... The psalm is significant, because it reflects the developing role of David in Second Temple Judaism (515 BCE-70 CE) as the founder of temple worship and writer of hymns, as the anointed of God, and even as an inspired "prophet," since the psalms attributed to him became scripture. The two Hebrew psalms behind Psalm 151 seem to ... ...

379: Can Ordinary People Understand The Bible?
To resolve this question, we must appeal to the word of God, the Bible, to find if clear directions can be obtained from this source. This is a reasonable thing to do since most of the Bible teachers and scholars who disagree over the meanings of the scriptures can agree that the Bible is, truly, the inspired Word of God. They can agree, here, because the Bible has all of the necessary marks of inspiration: Among several other important marks of inspiration (or proofs that the Bible comes from God) is the Bible's claim to being the word of God, and its precise historical and scientific accuracy. Should you have questions ... But, is it for us to read and to study it for ourselves, or must we have someone else interpret it and teach us its meaning Again, the most logical place to find the intention and direction of God is in the pages of the Bible.

... We believe that God has revealed His power and deity in the created universe so that man can know Him. God revealed Himself in saving word and deed in the Old Testament and established a covenant relationship with His people. He revealed Himself supremely and finally in the Lord Jesus Christ, as recorded in the New Testament. We believe that all Scripture is inspired by God as men of God were moved by the Holy Spirit. We accept the Old and New Testaments as the infallible Word of God and the authoritative Guide for the faith and life of Christian discipleship. We believe that the Old Covenant was preparatory in nature, finding its fulfilment in the New Covenant.

... Some have a three tier organization where the elders are over the pulpit preacher, who is in turn over the congregation.

They were not only the religious rulers, but also in all civil matters as well. They had the power to sentence someone to death, impose civil fines for business corruption etc. The Catholic church and Jehovah's Witnesses claim to be Theocratic in that they believe God directly communicates with the Pope, and the writers of the Watchtower Magazine.
