5961 | How should the word "epi" be translated | Rev 5:10 | DocTrinsograce | 231073 | ||
Thank you, Tim! That was, indeed, helpful. | ||||||
5962 | do angels sing? if so, what ch./verse | Rev 5:11 | DocTrinsograce | 155694 | ||
Hi, Samantha... Actually, Luke 2:13 says they were "saying" not "singing." Revelation 5:11, on the other hand, does not say what they were doing. It does not say they were singing. Indeed, contrary to popular opinion, the only references to singing that I can find in Scripture are by humans and by the Lord God Himself. In Him, Doc |

5963 | What do you mean? | Rev 5:11 | DocTrinsograce | 155714 | ||
Hi, Samantha... I've always cherished that passage. Boggles the mind actually! Yes, it is possible that angels sing. Still, imagine the possibility that singing is an attribute of our being that stems from His image! Furthermore, angels can never quite grasp redemption (1 Peter 1:12). God made no provision of redemption for the fallen angels, but brought immediate judgement upon them (2 Peter 2:4). As a consequence, the redeemed will make songs of praise to the glory of God unimaginable by such other beings. Nonetheless, it is, as we have said, speculative. Therefore, we can put little stock in such ideas. Where the Bible is silent, really, we must be also. Exciting, though, whatever awaits us! :-) In Him, Doc |

Good points, Bows... However, Revelation 5:12 uses the Greek word "lego" which means to state. If it were singing it would use the word "ado." (Do I have this right, Brother Tim?) I concur that the "keroob" of Ezekiel 28:13-15 is Satan. However, the word "sing" is not present. I looked back through the Scriptures on this subject. In every case that angels are worshipping, it uses the words "they said" or "they praised God, saying" or "they said in one accord." I wonder if this could be almost like chanting? Which also causes me to wonder: why, in our congregations, is responsive reading so rare these days? In Him, Doc |

Read Spurgeon's sermon -- it might help. There's an old aphorism: "The main things are the plain things; and the plain things are the main things." | ||||||
5966 | first fruits and the elect | Rev 7:4 | DocTrinsograce | 236593 | ||
Dear Sister Azure, Thank you for your note. It was particularly interesting to me as I had only just read the following statement by Charles H. Spurgeon. No doubt it is expressing the same idea as Dr. Chau. "I am persuaded that most of the mistakes which men make concerning the doctrines of Scripture are based upon fundamental errors with regard to the covenants of law and of grace." In the same sermon, Spurgeon went on to say, and so ought we, "May God grant us now the power to instruct, and you the grace to receive instruction on this vital subject." Have a blessed Resurrection Day! In Him, Doc |

5967 | Prayers of All the Saints | Rev 8:3 | DocTrinsograce | 238351 | ||
"There is no question whether an event has happened because of your prayer. When the event you prayed for occurs your prayer has always contributed to it. When the opposite event occurs your prayer has never been ignored; it has been considered and refused, for your ultimate good and the good of the whole universe." --Clive Staple Lewis (1898-1963) | ||||||

"Prayer is essentially a partnership of the redeemed child of God working hand in hand with God toward the realization of His redemptive purposes on earth." --Jack W. Hayford (1934-) | ||||||
5969 | relate 1/3 destruction/1/3 fallen angels | Rev 8:7 | DocTrinsograce | 194067 | ||
Dear Mariel, Symbols, types, and shadows are authorized by the Scripture itself. For example, we know that the brass serpent of Numbers 21:9 is a type of Christ because we have the authority of John 3:14 to see it as a type; we know that Adam of Genesis 2 was a anti-type of Christ because we have the authority of 1 Corinthians 15:47 to see Adam as a anti-type; we know that Melchizedek of Genesis 14 was a type of Christ because we have the authority of Hebrews 7 to see Melchizedek as a type; Noah's preservation in the flood prefigured baptism per 1 Peter 3:20-21; etc. In Him, Doc |

5970 | ...death flees from them | Rev 9:6 | DocTrinsograce | 194243 | ||
"The falling of the mountain would grind them to powder, and they wish for that: the descent of the hill upon them would bury them in a deep abyss, and they would rather be immured in the bowels of the earth for ever than have to look upon the face of the Great Judge. They ask to be crushed outright, or to be buried alive sooner than to feel the punishment of their sins. Then shall be fulfilled the word of the Lord by His servant John, 'And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them' (Revelation 9:6). Ah, sirs, extinction is a boon too great to be permitted to the ungodly. Earth will have no bowels of compassion for the men who polluted her and rejected her Lord. The mountains will reply, 'We fall at God's bidding, not at the petition of His enemies,' and the hills in their stolid silence will answer, 'We cannot, and we would not if we could, conceal you from the justice which you yourselves willfully provoked.' No, there shall be no refuge for them, no annihilation into which they can fly: the very hope of it were heaven to the damned... Their cry for extinction shall be in vain." --Charles H. Spurgeon | ||||||
5971 | Idolatry | Rev 9:20 | DocTrinsograce | 241876 | ||
"I think it is safe to say that Sunday morning in America is the greatest hour of idolatry in the entire week, because people are worshipping a God that is a figment of their own imagination, a recreation of self, rather than the God of Scripture, and that is idolatry." --Paul Washer |

Hi, Edb... I had a professor who, tongue in cheek, called it "smorgasbord theology." What brought this quote from Washer to mind was the following: Sunday, our pastor preached on 1 Samuel 5. It is interesting that in the face of truth, the Philistines wanted nothing to do with God, but persisted in their worship of Dagon. He pointed out that this was the same reaction of the Gadarenes after witnessing our Lord's dealing with the demoniac (see Luke 8:37). On further contemplation Sunday night: We are a people highly skilled and practiced at manufacturing idols, which is bad enough; but perhaps what is worse is the rejection of God in our midst -- as in the examples of Cain, the Egyptians, the Philistines, the Gadarenes, the Israelites, and the unrepentant mentioned there in Revelation 9:20. etc. The most frightening thing of all, Ed, is that we are but men cut from the same cloth. May God grant us mercy and grace to tear down the idols, beginning in our own hearts; and may we never rebuild them again (Galatians 2:18). Thank you for the encouragement and comments, sir. In Him, Doc |

Dear Brother Tim, Very good observations. Something crossed my mind as I considered this question: Jude 9 says that Michael dared not rebuke Satan. Christ, on the other hand, rebuked Satan directly in both Matthew 4:10 and Mark 8:33. If they Jesus and Michael were one and the same, this disparity in authority would not exist. In Him, Doc |

Hi, For... Asking someone from what theological perspective they are posting is not a violation of forum guidelines. Indeed, it is helpful in order to insure that we are complying. Most of us are pretty explicit about our background, as evidenced in our profiles. Speaking of which, For... what is your position on the diety of Jesus? In Him, Doc |

So you do not believe in the diety of the Lord Jesus Christ, that He is the Second Person of the Triune God, of the same substance and equal with Him Who created the world? | ||||||

The belief of the apostles regarding the doctrine of the diety is of public record. I am asking about your position on this issue -- which, notably, remains unstated. | ||||||
5980 | What is Love of Christ? | Rev 12:11 | DocTrinsograce | 171377 | ||
"Love shows the true character of a man, according to the object which he loves more than anything else: for as is the love, so is the man. According to his love, so might you confidently designate the man. If he is a lover of honor, he is an ambitious man; a lover of pleasure, a sensual man; and if he chiefly love the world, he is a covetous man. If a man loves righteousness, he is a religious man; if the things above, a heavenly-minded man; and if he love Christ with a pre-eminent love, he is a sincere man: "Rightly do they love you," Song of Songs 1:4. If Christ has our love, He has our all; and Christ never has what He deserves from us, till He has our love. True love withholds nothing from Christ, when it is sincerely set upon Him. If we actually love Him, He will have our time, and He will have our service, and He will have the use of all our resources, and gifts, and graces; indeed, then He shall have our possessions, freedom, and our very lives, whenever He calls for them. In the same way, when God loves any of us, He will withhold nothing from us that is good for us. He does not hold back His own only begotten Son, Romans 8:32. When Christ loves us, He gives us everything we need -- His merits to justify us, His Spirit to sanctify us, His grace to adorn us, and His glory to crown us. Therefore, when any of us love Christ sincerely, we lay everything down at His feet, and give up all to be at His command and service." --Thomas Doolittle (1630-1707) |
