Greetings Lionstrong! I agree, there are so many topics that the Bible presents that are worthy of studying, as long as we keep that study based upon the Bible, of course! Blessings to you, Nolan |

386 | what is baptism | Bible general Archive 1 | Makarios | 25664 | ||
Greetings Kin! What "magical element" is in the water that makes it so powerful as to be the Agent of our salvation? Why is it that we can pick the time, place, and method of being baptized by water? Can we also be so lackadaisical about choosing whether or not to be saved by Jesus Christ? Salvation is by grace alone through faith- and we are not saved through water baptism. If you do a "Search" on baptism or look through many of my recent posts (November) on baptism, you will find how, where, what and why I believe in Salvation by grace alone. However, we must be "born again", that is, we must be baptised by the Holy Spirit! And this comes at the moment of salvation which occurs when the Holy Spirit chooses, not when we choose. I have never met anyone who "chose" the time when they were apprehended by Jesus Christ! - Nolan |

387 | Have you tried e-Sword? | Bible general Archive 1 | Makarios | 25824 | ||
Greetings charis and EdB! I use three TOTALLY FREE Bible software programs! The first one that I found was E-Sword, which is excellent!! You get a broad range of translations, utilities, search functions, commentaries and even maps that you can use. You can even download different translations in different languages like Chinese, Spanish, and French. I use the resource almost every day! (www.e-sword.net) The second one is called Theophilos! (www.theophilos.sk) This is easily the most expansive Bible software utility that I have because of the fact that ANYONE can write modules for it! You can download the program and and many as 9 translations (some in Russian) and (by using the Links page) you can gain access to many different modules and utilities! This is where I was able to find Martin Luther's 95 Theses and the Original Preface to the 1611 KJV, both of which I have posted to the Forum in the past because of this valuable resource! It also contains many "Jump Lists" where one can go to find Scripture that has to do with the deity of Christ, etc, etc.. Excellent Resource! Another TOTALLY FREE resource is the Online Bible. (www.onlinebible.net) I am just discovering this resource, but I have already found it extremely valuable with its broad range of translations! I was able to download the complete Latin Vulgate and the Septuagint (LXX) by use of this resource. However, the only Bible software program that I own that I have paid for is QuickVerse Deluxe by Parsons (www.parsonstech.com). This resource is excellent and overly stacked with extra-biblical commentary and materials that one can use. It also contains just about every English translation of the Bible that one can think of, but it is NOT free!! Blessings to you, Nolan |

Greetings Emmaus! Mary was nothing more than a willing virgin of whom God used to deliver His Son. She was nothing more than that. - Nolan |

Ok Emmaus, Here you go! "I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which He will bring about at the proper time- He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen." At best, Mary was a disciple of Jesus Christ. NOWHERE in Scripture, even in the verses that you have cited is there any mention AT ALL of Mary possibly being anything more than a disciple of Jesus Christ. To say that Mary was the "Queen of Heaven" or "New Ark of the Covenant" or "Mother of God" is to apply titles to her that is completely based upon your speculation and cannot be gathered from Scripture alone! I ask you to support your claims by using Scripture verses and not on your flawed and faulty Catholic tradition. Where does it say that Mary is the "Queen of Heaven" in the Bible? Not in my Bible, the New American Standard Version.. - Nolan |

Emmaus, "12:1 a woman. She represents Israel, who gave Christ to the world (v.5) and who will be persecuted severely during the Tribulation (v.13)." [The Ryrie Expanded Edition Study Bible, pg. 2028] In no way whatsoever does Revelation 12:1-12 state or even imply that Mary should be even implied as the "Queen of Heaven." Such a title only invites heresy. - Nolan |

God never had a mother. God never 'created' His mother. And Mary is NOT the "Mother of God". Mary was a human being. Jesus was fully human and fully God at the same time (Colossians 2:9). In no way was Mary the Mother of God, even though God used her to "give birth" to the human child Jesus, who has existed forever with His Father, even before the creation of the world. (John 1:1, 1 John 1:1, Hebrews 13:8) Mary was nothing more than a woman who was a disciple of Christ. - Nolan |

Greeting Emmaus! I'm ready to plunge into this whole Catholicism debate with you and anyone else, and I guarantee that you won't like it! :-) Yes, you are entitled to your own position, however flawed that it is.. |

Greetings my Catholic friend! Ha! I would ask you to look at your own heresy: the heresy that says that Mary was the mother of God. God has no beginning and no end. No human woman ever gave birth to God. True, God used Mary to introduce Jesus Christ into the world. But Jesus did not originate in Mary any more than the Catholic church began with Peter. Jesus Christ has always existed. Right now, I'm pulling up all of the other posts that I've written on the Forum against Catholicism and the claim that Mary was anything more than a disciple of Christ, and I'll be ready. - Nolan |

Greetings Emmaus! I hate to say this, but absolutely NONE of the Scriptures that you have cited support your theory that Mary is "The New Eve".. You're going to have to show me a verse in Scripture that says EXACTLY THAT. Nolan |

Greetings Emmaus! Hebrews 9:4 never states that the Ark of the Covenant was made of 'incorruptible wood'. Exodus 25:10 does not say this either! So if you are saying that the Ark was made of 'incorruptible wood', then either you are basing these assumptions on your own conclusions (which one cannot come to just by reading the text), or on the conclusions of a long standing tradition that does not prove to be 'supported' by Scripture here. All things must be supported by Scripture. If we begin to believe in tradition rather than Scripture, then we are taking our focus off of God's Holy Word, and putting our 'faith' in man's tradition, which is full of flaws, and God's Word is flawless (Psalm 12:6-7). I now see where you make the connection between Mary having the 'midden manna' of Jesus Christ and giving birth to Him, thus making her the new "Ark of the Covenant" and the "Queen of God", but this is nowhere to be supported in Scripture! Is it only coincidence that none of the Biblical writers ever even alluded to the same thing that you are talking about? Yes, all generations will call Mary 'blessed', since she was in a sense, the hand-maiden of God. However, Mary is in no way equal with God, nor does she have any characteristics of the Deity. If you read in Luke 2:34-35, does not Simeon say to Mary, "and a sword will pierce even your own soul"?? If this is so, then in what way is Mary shown to be Deity, since she will also be convicted of her sins? We should not call Mary, the mother of Jesus, 'blessed' to the point of worshipping her! This would be idolatry, and something that is not even acceptable to angels (Rev. 19:10; 22:8-9)! Mary was a servant of God as we are. In no way has she been placed as a "Goddess" over mankind. Not only does this teach polytheism but it is not Scriptural and is actually contrary to the teachings of the Bible. I agree with you that Jesus is the 'new Adam' because the Bible says so in 1 Corinthians 15:45. And 1 Corinthians 15:22 tells me this also. But Emmaus, where in the Bible does it say that Mary is anything more than a God fearing woman who gave birth to the Man, Jesus Christ? Mary may have given birth to Jesus, who was the fullness of God in bodily form, and Mary was the 'vessel' that God used to deliver His Son to this earth, but Mary did not 'give birth' to God. For God has no beginning and no end! (Revelation 22:13) And how could Mary be the mother of God if God has existed forever? Jesus Christ has always existed, even before the foundation of the earth! (John 17:24, Hebrews 13:8) So was Mary really the 'mother of God'? Or was she just a willing servant of God whom God used to 'introduce' His one and only Son into this world? Emmaus, I am not trying to put you on the spot here. I humbly ask you to please show me in Scripture with Bible Verses where it 'proves' that Mary is anything more than just a humble servant of God. Also, "man that was at the foot of the cross" and this brings me to John 19:26-27 where Jesus says, "Woman, behold, your son!" and to the 'man', "Behold, your mother!" If you were referring to these passages, where Mary, the mother of Jesus, is standing at the foot of the cross with John, His disciple, then please show me where it says here that Mary is anything more than just a woman of God. Emmaus, I ask you humbly, and not as a request! Your Brother in Christ, Nolan |

Greeting Emmaus! You are not the first to come along on this Forum and to press the belief that Mary was something more than just a woman and disciple. Your power to convince doesn't come through your assumptions- it comes through Scripture! And so far, you have not proved anyone that Mary was anything more than just a woman disciple. Blessings to you and every other Catholic on their search for the truth! Nolan |

Greetings kin! Water baptism cannot save us. I've been over this question again and again on this Forum. Water baptism is the outward public display of the inner baptism that has already occurred. - Nolan |
