34112 | Is Jesus the 'Eternal Father'? | Is 9:6 | Makarios | 5154 | ||
Does the fact that Jesus is called "Eternal Father" in Isaiah 9:6 mean that Jesus is the Father?No, Jesus is not the Father. As we interpret the meaning of the phrase "Eternal Father" in reference to Christ, it is critical to keep in mind what other Scriptures have to say about the distinction between the Father and the Son. The Father is considered by Jesus as someone other than Himself more than 200 times in the New Testament. Over 50 times (in the NT) the Father and Son are seen to be distinct within the same verse (for example: Rom. 15:6, 2 Cor. 1:4, Gal. 1:2-3, Phil. 2:10-11, 1 John 2:1, 2 John 3). If the Father and the Son are distinct, then in what sense is Jesus the "Eternal Father"? One explanation is that this phrase is better translated 'Father of eternity', and carries the meaning "possessor of eternity." Father of eternity is here used in accordance with a custom usual in Hebrew and in Arabic, where he who possesses a thing is called the father of it. Thus, the father of strength means strong; the father of knowledge, intelligent; the father of glory, glorious. According to this common usage, the meaning of Father of eternity in Isaiah 9:6 is 'eternal'. Christ as the "Father of eternity" is an eternal being. The Targum- a simplified paraphrase of the Old Testament Scriptures utilized by the ancient Jews- rendered Isaiah 9:6: "His name has been called from of old, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, He who lives forever...." Clearly, the ancient Jews considered the phrase Father of eternity as indicating the eternality of the Messiah. Also, this refers to Christ's divine quality as an enduring, compassionate provider and protector (see also Isaiah 40:9-11). Scripture is clear that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct persons. Scripture tells us that the Father sent the Son (John 3:16-17), the Father and Son love each other (John 5:20), and the Father and Son speak to each other (John 8:47, 11:41, 42). Moreover, the Father knows the Son and the Son knows the Father (John 10:15), and Jesus is our advocate with the Father (1 John 2:1).Also, it is clear that Jesus is not the Holy Spirit, for the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus at His baptism (Luke 3:22). The Holy Spirit is said to be another comforter (John 14:16). Jesus sent the Holy Spirit (John 15:26). And the Holy Spirit seeks to glorify Jesus (John 16:13-14). In view of these facts, it is impossible to argue that Jesus is the Father and the Holy Spirit.Does John 10:30 teach that Jesus and the Father are the same person? No. Jesus affirmed, "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30). This verse does not mean that Jesus and the Father are one and the same person. We know this to be true because in the phrase, "I and the Father are one," a first person plural- "we are" (esmen in the Greek)- is used. The verse literally reads from the Greek, "I and the Father we are one." If Jesus intended to say that He and the Father were one person, He certainly would not have used the first person plural, which clearly implies two persons. Furthermore, the Greek word for "one" (hen) in this verse refers not to personal unity (that is, the idea that the Father and Son are one person) but to unity of essence or nature (that is, that the Father and Son have the same divine nature). This is evident in the fact that the form of the word in the Greek is neuter, not masculine. Further, the verses that immediately precede and follow John 10:30 distinguish Jesus from the Father (John 10:25,29,36,38). Jesus is the perfect revelation of the Father (John 1:18). We also know that 2 Corinthians 3:17 does not prove that Jesus is the Holy Spirit. Just earlier, in vv. 3-6, the apostle Paul clearly distinguishes between Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Moreover, the whole of Scripture indicates that Jesus is not the Holy Spirit.Sources: NASB Study Bible (Zondervan), Hasting's Dictionary of the Bible (Hendrickson), Matthew Henry's Unabridged Commentary, Strong's Concordance, "The Complete Book of Bible Answers" by Ron Rhodes, "Evidence Demands a Verdict" by Josh McDowell. | ||||||

34117 | How should be interpret Joshua 10:12-14? | Josh 10:12 | Makarios | 5107 | ||
How are we to interpret Joshua 10:12-14 when Joshua asks the Lord to make the sun 'stand still'? Did God prolong the day by some refraction of the sun's rays? I think that God stopped the earth's rotation on its axis. I also think it is interesting that the Amorites worshiped the sun and the moon as deities. Therefore, the TRUE God defeated them through their own 'deities'.. | ||||||
34118 | Christ's Birth revealed to Astrologers? | Matt 2:1 | Makarios | 5106 | ||
Why would God give special revelation concerning Christ's birth to astrologers- the Magi in Matthew 2:1,2? Tradition tells us that these three were Kings. We might loosely associate them today to specialists in Astronomy, since they gained knowledge by observing the movement and positions of stars. I do not believe that the Magi were occultic seers or sorcerers in the sense that today's astrologers often are. "We Three Kings" is a very popular hymn that is sung around Christmas. I wonder why God would give special revelation to astrologers (the Magi).. | ||||||
34119 | Strategic spiritual warfare successful? | Dan 10:13 | Makarios | 5105 | ||
The concept of hostile angels associated with territories has biblical support in Dan. 10:13, 20, and 21. What is known as "Strategic-Level Spiritual Warfare" is viewed as an 'attack' through prayer and fasting that Christians can use to help oust demon spirits from their strongholds over cities or regions. First of all, if you conclude that we can engage territorial spirits through prayer, then we have an approach through SLSW (or Strategic Level Spiritual Warfare). The approach is three-fold: (1) discern the territorial spirits assigned to the city, (2) deal with the corporate sin of a city or area, and (3) engage in aggressive "warfare prayer" agaist the territorial spirits.. Here is more scripture to support the idea of demons being assigned to certain areas or nations: Deut. 32:8, 17; Psalm 82:1-8, 96:5, 106:37-38; Isaiah 24:21; Rev. 2, 12). If you believe in demons having control of areas or regions, then has any pastor or church had success with ousting these spirits and winning these areas or regions for God? Please tell me your stories! | ||||||
34120 | Is being "slain in the spirit" biblical? | Bible general Archive 1 | Makarios | 5104 | ||
Is the practice of being 'slain in the spirit' a biblical practice? No, I really don't think it is. In fact, not only is the term not in the Bible, the experience is not in the Bible either. There are many examples in Scripture of human beings falling to their knees as they witness the incredible glory of God. This is what happened to the apostle John (Rev. 1). But the idea of being touched by a human being who is "anointed" by the Spirit and then being knocked cold is not a biblical phenomena.How are we to explain these experiences? It may be a psychological or emotional phenomena. Someone may so strongly expect to be knocked cold by the Spirit thought to be present in the anointed preacher that when the preacher touches him or her, down he or she goes. Sociologists have noted that this type of experience is actually common to many religions. There's also the possibility that the powers of darkness may be involved in this experience (2 Thess. 2:9). Many who believe in being 'slain in the spirit' like to cite certain passages such as Genesis 15:12-21, Numbers 24:4, 1 Samuel 19:20, and Matthew 17:6. But in every case they are reading their own meaning into the text instead of drawing the meaning out of the text. These passages in context offer no support for the idea of being 'slain in the spirit'. | ||||||
