421 | Lionstrong, maybe this will clarify... | 2 Chr 7:14 | Lionstrong | 17666 | ||
Dear Steve, ............. ¶ Somewhere on the thread above was presented scriptural support that believing Jews and gentiles are the true Israel of God, to which you agreed. "Not all Israel is Israel." The Church is the NT Israel. Believing gentiles have been grafted in to the people of God in fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that all nations would be blessed in his seed, that is, Christ. By faith gentiles now are the children of Abraham. Jews (physical descendants of Abraham) who do not believe in Christ are not sons of Abraham but of the devil. (John 8) ........ ¶ How has anything I've written about 2Chron 7:14 been contrary to the context of this verse? The context shows a God who answers prayer. Is this not applicable to God's NT Israel? ...... ¶Peace, Lionstrong |

Rom 1:3 concerning His Son, who was born of a descendant of David according to the flesh, Dear Steve, Yes, ALL of Scripture is inspired not just the whole of it. And yes, the God-inspired genealogies are profitable for teaching. If not to teach us that Jesus is the fulfillment of the covenants with Abraham and David, they at least teach us that God is interested in genealogy and our personal history. Nothing is too trivial to escape God's interest. The hairs (or lack of hairs) on our head are numbered. Peace, Lionstrong |

Dear Tim, I don't see how you can agree with Steve "to a point." His point is, and I quote, "This passage does not apply to the US or Christians?" Now this passage either has no application for God's NT Israel (us) today, or it does. My only question for brother Leabeater was HOW, not if, it applied. Then brother Steve comes in and says that it does not apply to us. So, in this case, Tim, I don't see how a partial agreement is possible. It has an application or it doesn't. Peace, Lionstrong |

Dear Bill, So what the Holy Spirit through Paul meant to say was not all Scripture, but the whole of Scripture is inspired. Thanks, Lionstrong |

Then, dear Steve, what teaching, reproof, correction or training in righteousness (2 Tim 3:16) does this passage have for God's NT Israel (christians)? Thanks, Lionstrong |

426 | God's people's land? | 2 Chr 7:14 | Lionstrong | 17521 | ||
Thanks for your mediation, Tim. But my brother Steve goes beyond saying that it's not addressed to the chruch ( in a way it is, since the Holy Spirit inspired it for us too. 2 Tim 3:16) and says it has NO application for us, the NT Israel, which is what we are. ........ ¶ I applaud his efforts to intrepret Scripture aright, but the Scripture itself makes the whole content of Scripture relevant to God's people of all ages. ................. ¶ Thanks again, Lionstrong |

427 | God's people's land? | 2 Chr 7:14 | Lionstrong | 17513 | ||
So, Steve, not all Scripture is profitable for teaching, reproof, correction or training in righteousness, is it? Lionstrong |

428 | Was Sampson a suicide terrorist killer? | Judges | Lionstrong | 17512 | ||
2 Cor 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Ex 34:6 Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; Ex 34:7 who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations." Greetings Mc, The Lord has not changed from judgement to grace. He revealed to Moses a long time ago that he is a God of grace, compassion and judgement. And he revealed in Christ that we would all stand before the judgement seat of Christ. No God has not and does not change, which is why his lovingkindness endures forever and we are not consumed. Mal 3:6 "For I, the LORD, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed. and, Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Peace, Lionstrong |

Greetings Preacher! And Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! Thanks for your comments, but my post was not a question, but a meditation on that passage. But for the most part I agree with what you wrote. Again, welcome to the forum! Peace, Lionstrong |

Dear Steve, Since all Scripture is inspired by God, it is profitable to believers today as well. This passage has principles that apply to God's people today. For one, it teaches God's faithfulness to answer his people with mercy and healing when we humbly come to him in times of distress or calamity. It also shows the tender compassion of our almighty God. It illustrates a man coming boldly to the throne of grace to find mercy and grace to help in time of need. No, Steve, God has much to say to his NT people in this passage. Rom 15:4 For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Peace, Lionstrong |

432 | God's people's land? | 2 Chr 7:14 | Lionstrong | 17411 | ||
So, then, John, Since the church is worldwide, are you suggesting that an application is that the prayer be made by the universal church for healing of all lands worldwide? Peace, Lionstrong |

434 | God's people's land? | 2 Chr 7:14 | Lionstrong | 17346 | ||
Dear Mr. Leabeater, You are correct, the question does expose my objection. After one hears the verse quoted a million times by Christian Americans, one finally begins to think about it. But my objection is not based on a view that the laws and principles of OT are irrelevant. All Scripture is profitable. My objection is based on the fact that God’s people (the church) are dispersed among many nations, many lands, of the world. In the OT we occupied one only. So, no doubt the verse has application today, but how, since we don’t occupy just one land? Which land is ours such that God may heal it? Incidentally, not being a dispensationalist, I believe the OT people of God were the church. And welcome to the Study Bible Forum. Peace, Lionstrong |

435 | Definitions - God? | Bible general Archive 1 | Lionstrong | 17294 | ||
Dear Steve, Isa 55:8 doesn't make me think that, but again, I expressly denied that we can define God, therefore we cannot even begin to define Him. We can only list or summarize what he has revealed about himself in his Word. ........ ¶ Peace, Lionstrong |

Dear Steve, ......... ¶ All believers in the Lord Jesus are the people of God. Not all physical Israel is Israel. Only those who have the faith of Abraham are the children of Abraham and the people of God. ........ ¶ Rom 4:11 and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them, Rom 4:12 and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised. ......... ¶2 Cor 6:16 Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, "I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. ......... ¶ Acts 15:14 "Simeon has related how God first concerned Himself about taking from among the Gentiles a people for His name. ....... ¶ Rom 9:6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel; .......... ¶ Gal 6:16 And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. Paul recognizes all believers as the Israel, the people, of God. ............ ¶ Peace, Lionstrong |

437 | What do you think? | Luke 23:34 | Lionstrong | 17261 | ||
Dear Steve, Jesus didn't stop being God when he bore our sins, because it wasn't his divine nature that took our sins on. It was his human nature that bore our sins and died with them. For Jesus to be Jesus means that he is both the Son of Man and the Son of God, both God and Man. He is not part God and part Man, but fully God and fully man. The God/man, inseparable. To say that Jesus stopped being God is the same as saying that Jesus stopped being Jesus, because he HAS to be both God and Man, inseparable. You might as well say, as some do, that the Word stopped being God when he became flesh. Peace, Lionstrong |

Dear Steve, I'm glad you see my point. Again, to say something about God, his character, his attributes in no way limits him. How could it? Besides, he hasn't told us everything about himself anyway, and he couldn't, because we couldn't hold that much information. Even his thoughts about an individual person is more than a person can handle. But we can and ought to learn and teach what God has revealed about himself with the understanding that what he has revealed about himself is not exhaustive. Ps 139:17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Ps 139:18 If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You. Peace, Lionstrong |

Thanks Kalos, But as I said in my post, mine was not a difinition, but rather a listing of some things God has revealed about himself in his word. Whereas the WORD "god" can be defined, the God of the Bible cannot, because he has not given us a definition of himself in his Word. So my summary was not a way of defining. I expressly denied the possibility of doing so. Peace, Lionstrong |

Dear kalos, "...since I am not too superstitious to attempt a definition of God." When you wrote this were you refering to the other answers given to Charis' question? Peace, Lionstrong |
