461 | Obedience in Love? | Lev 19:18 | EdB | 241711 | ||
I do not see how Lev 19:18 and Mt 5:44 produce a conflict for you. No where in the Leviticus passage did it say hate you enemy. That seemed to be added by man, and Jesus pointed out God never said hate your enemy. | ||||||
462 | Does God cause people to get arrested ? | Matt 24:9 | EdB | 241710 | ||
I think the question was does God cause people to get arrested. My answer was arrest is the consequence of sin. That does not mean that there aren't miscarriages of justice and that there may be people in jail are serving time for a crime they did not commit. If we lived in a perfect world only those that committed the crime would be jailed. However this world has been tainted with sin. However I don't think it was God's will for innocent people to be placed in jail. |

463 | When will the Antichrist come ? | 1 John 2:18 | EdB | 241709 | ||
That is an interesting conclusion. One I don't agree with since he clearly preaches Christ crucified and resurrected for our sins. Today we have people that move in the office of the apostle but they are not apostles. Likewise we have people that move in the office of the prophet but they are not prophets. I see most missionaries as moving in the office of apostle and likewise I see many ministers moving in the office of prophet as they fill their pastorial functions. I think MacArthur holds a similar view. |

464 | When will the Antichrist come ? | 1 John 2:18 | EdB | 241698 | ||
Why do you characterize John MacArthur as a antiChrist? | ||||||
465 | difference in a Christians funeral? | Bible general | EdB | 241646 | ||
I tend to agree with your view of funeral industry. I'm leaning toward cremation with no real funeral, but instead a memorial service. In the past I attended the funeral of my Grandparents and my memory of them is seeing them dead in the casket. My own parents were cremated with a memorial service and my memory of them is when I last saw them alive and living. I think you are talking of the Amish when you say Mennonite with horse and buggy. I was born and raised in Pa near Amish country and I'm very familar with them. Many in background (great grand parents) were Mennonite and while they held close belief with the Amish they all drove cars and used electricity. I will say you will not get a finer coffin than one built by Amish craftsman. |

466 | Does God force His will on us ? | Mark 1:12 | EdB | 241642 | ||
As for Demons being attitudes. We see them speak. We see them do what Jesus commanded and we see them infect a herd of pig that then run off a cliff. Attitudes by definition do none of those things. |

467 | Does God force His will on us ? | Mark 1:12 | EdB | 241641 | ||
Lucifer is a name given to Satan by many. The anme is seen once in KJV in Isaiah 14:12 Jesus always called Satan, Satan, serpent or snake. Yes it was Satan in Job. Yes it was Satan in Jesus' temptation in Matt. And yes it was Satan's minions in the gospels called demons. |
||||||
468 | Does God force His will on us ? | Mark 1:12 | EdB | 241636 | ||
Interesting question let me add my two cents. In the Book of Job we see Satan report to God, we see Satan answering God with direct answers and no attitude. In Matthew and temptation of Jesus we see Satan ask leading questions to which Jesus responds and Satan does not argue. Through out the gospels we see demons (Satan's minions) directly respond to Jesus and obey His every command. So while I'm not sure we would characterize Satan as a servant of God we also see Satan is not the without fear of God. Satan can only do what God allows Satan to do. |

469 | How do you share Jesus with others? | Eph 4:12 | EdB | 241582 | ||
If we go back to Matthew 28:18-20 we see Jesus command to the Apostles to go make disciples. If the command was not meant to carry forward then we have to conclude that we are not to make disciples. Therefore in you example above the Royal Baker is not commanded to teach others to bake. The royal motor pool mechanic is not to teach others to be mechanics. If God wants bakers or mechanics he will provide them. Is this what you are saying? |

470 | The Gospel According to Self | Zech 1:4 | EdB | 241561 | ||
No truer words have been spoken. And this unfortunately is the concept that has crept into much of the church today. Pick the doctrines of Christianity you like and ignore what you don't like. And it goes beyond just doctrine, many in the church today view God in similar way. Pick the aspects or attributes of God you like and ignore those you don't. Too many today try to mold God into their view of what God should be instead of allowing God to mold them into what He wants them to be. |

471 | How do you share Jesus with others? | Eph 4:12 | EdB | 241560 | ||
However Acts 1:8 does talk of the Holy Spirit being given to empower us to be Jesus' witnesses to the end of the earth. Acts 1:8 (NASB) 8 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." No we are not all apostles called to establish churches, nor are we all evangelist called to preach his word to the lost and dying, nor are all call to be missionaries, teachers or pastors. But we are charged to live Christ like and be ready in season and out to give reason for out hope. 1 Pet 3:15 We are called to serve 1 Peter 2:9 (NASB) 9 But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; Yes milk is food but milk is for babes. Hebrews 5:13 (NASB) 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. |

472 | Empty Pretensions | 2 Cor 11:19 | EdB | 241556 | ||
Another way to say this is man always names "The Giants of the Past". Judged by man and whether man agrees with "The Giants" position. For all we know God may have been holding his nose every time a "Giant of the Past" spoke. My "Giants" may be totally different group of people than your "Giants" and I imagine the divide is down demoninational doctrine. |
||||||
473 | Empty Pretensions | 2 Cor 11:19 | EdB | 241555 | ||
The problem with putting too much stock in "The Giants of the Past" is that there also some so called "giants" who taught Arianism, Gnosticism, Montanism, Subordinationism, Pelagianism, Jehovah Witness, Christian Science, Mormonism, and Word of Faith and introduced the errors into Catholicism. True Wisdom of man should be cherished but it must always be held against the litmus test of the Word of God. And never as a denominational viewpoint of how we read and understand God's word. |

474 | How do you share Jesus with others? | Eph 4:12 | EdB | 241554 | ||
I disagree the Great Commission did not contain any qualifiers as to who it was aimed at. Therefore it included all that claim to follow Christ. That said I do believe some are evangelist in that they openly and frequently share God with anyone that will listen. However there are others that make disciples simply by their life style, showing love, grace and moderation in all things. Then there are some that will be used infrequently or unexpectedly but will have great effect when they do. Some will till the soil, some will plant and some will water and feed the seed and others will harvest. No we are not all thumbs but we are all part of the body and the body's commission is to go make disciples. I agree correct Bible doctrine is important and sadly too many have never gotten that foundation into their lives. Far too many are still content to be feed the milk of the word instead of the meat. Those that seem content on the milk of the word I question their salvation. It is as if they don't want to go to eternal damnation but they don't want to disrupt their lives living for Christ. Matthew 22:11-14 (NASB) 11 "But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes, 12 and he *said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?' And the man was speechless. 13 "Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' 14 "For many are called, but few are chosen." |

475 | Has The GLORY of the LORD left the USA? | Bible general | EdB | 241551 | ||
I like what John MacArthur says on this subject. The phrase taken out of the way must not be interpreted to mean that the Holy Spirit will be removed from the world. That is impossible, since He is omnipresent. Nor could anyone be saved during the Tribulation (cf. Rev. 7:14) apart from His regenerating work (John 3:3-8; Titus 3:5). The phrase refers not to the removal of the Holy Spirit from the world, but rather to the cessation of His restraining work. Excerpt from MacArthur's commentary on 2 Thess. |

476 | HCSB what's your opinion? | Bible general | EdB | 241550 | ||
I have and use the HCSB both hard copy and electronically. My only concern is when a verse is notated as "some manuscripts omit the last part of this passage" or "some manuscripts read thus and such" or "some manuscripts add this or that word" they don't identify the manuscript. It could be a change made by the Textus Receptus or a change by Westcott and Hort. I simply like to know who is making the claim that verse should read different. I still prefer the NASB for personal study, NLT when I want simplicity and clarity of understanding, and NKJV to preach from. Please post your conclusions when you have formed them, I would be interested in hearing what you think. |

477 | God created man sin-ful? | Bible general | EdB | 241545 | ||
Don't get confused here what you are discussing is seen by most serious students of scripture. It is not a Calvin/Luther thing. You are not coming to the same conclusion of just Calvin and Luther but the conclusions of everyone that seeks the truth in scripture. This truth once discovered is often the place where man stops seeking more of God and starts allowing his own ideas shape his final concept/theology of the truth. Hence we have some 3000 plus denominations/theologies all claiming they are the truth. I believe this is where the leading of the Holy Spirit is so important. |

478 | How do you share Jesus with others? | Eph 4:12 | EdB | 241542 | ||
They refused to bow to Rome's gods. Every bad thing that then happened was blamed on the Christians for making the gods mad. Superstitious people always look for something or someone to blame for their own bad choices. |

479 | Christ's Descent... | Eph 4:10 | EdB | 241515 | ||
Let us not clutter up the discussion with Purgatory or the false teaching that the cross was not sufficient. Let us stick to fact. First and foremost don't confuss the name Hell with the final destination of the unrightous dead. Hades/Hell is not the Lake of Fire, a place of punishment (since there has been no judgement yet). It is the holding place of the dead. Luke 16:19-31 clearly describes this places as having two sections a hot dry place and Abraham's bosom or paradise. That can not be disputed. Eph 4:8 clearly tells us Jesus decended and lead captive captivity. To be in captivity you must be held, it is speaking of the captivity of death. Since Jesus overcome death He lead captive those held by death to Heaven. These verse more fully explain this Ephesians 4:9-10 (NASB) 9 (Now this expression, "He ascended," what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.) If Christ never descended into Hell how did He lead captive, captivity? Finally The Apostles Creed which many believe to have been originally constructed by the Apostles and know to have formally existed in written form as early as 390 AD clearly states Christ descended into Hell No Jesus did not experience punishment, torture, or need to do any more in Hell to secure our salvation but Jesus did need to present Himself as the Messiah that the righteous dead had been waiting for, and free them from the deaths hold over them. Just as we are free of it today, so that upon death those of us that are in Christ go directly into His presence, in Heaven. |

480 | Jesus went to God immediately? | John 20:17 | EdB | 241510 | ||
When did these acts take place Hebrews 9:12 (NASB) 12 and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. Ephesians 4:8 (NASB) 8 Therefore it says, "WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN." 1 Peter 3:19 (NASB) 19 in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, 1 Peter 4:6 (NASB) 6 For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God. |
