61 | "word" or "Word" | Bible general Archive 3 | New Creature | 166080 | ||
Mark you said: Mr. Green apparently believes that this reference refers to Christ Yes, thats what I'm getting at. Does word in this verse refer to the written word, or to the person which "Word" would indicate. Obviously their is not full agreement even among translators on this. Marvin Vincent in his word studies makes the following interesting comment on the usage of "Word" in 1 Pet. 1:23 1Pe 1:23 - Being born again Rev., having been begotten again. Compare Jam_1:18. Of seed - by the word Note the difference in the prepositions; the former denoting the origin or source of life, the latter the medium through which it imparts itself to the nature. Word of God The gospel of Christ. Compare 1Pe_1:25, and Peter's words, Act_10:36. Also, Eph_1:13; Col_1:5; Jam_1:18. Not the personal Word, as the term is employed by John. Nevertheless, the connection and relation of the personal with the revealed word is distinctly recognized. “In the New Testament we trace a gradual ascent from (a) the concrete message as conveyed to man by personal agency through (b) the Word, the revelation of God to man which the message embodies, forming, as it were, its life and soul, to (c) The Word, who, being God, not only reveals but imparts himself to us, and is formed in us thereby” (Scott, on Jam_1:18, “Speaker's Commentary”). |

I found this on 1 pet. 1:23 from Marvin Vincent's Word Studies "Word of God The gospel of Christ. Compare 1Pe_1:25, and Peter's words, Act_10:36. Also, Eph_1:13; Col_1:5; Jam_1:18. Not the personal Word, as the term is employed by John. Nevertheless, the connection and relation of the personal with the revealed word is distinctly recognized. “In the New Testament we trace a gradual ascent from (a) the concrete message as conveyed to man by personal agency through (b) the Word, the revelation of God to man which the message embodies, forming, as it were, its life and soul, to (c) The Word, who, being God, not only reveals but imparts himself to us, and is formed in us thereby” (Scott, on James1:18, “Speaker's Commentary”). |

Let me try this. Why is it that some translations say "word" and others say "Word" (1 Pet. 1:23 AMP) You have been regenerated - born again - not from a mortal origin (seed, sperm) but from one that is immortal by the ever living and lasting Word of God. (1 Pet 1:23 LITV) being regenerated, not by corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the living Word of God, and remaining forever. |

Ok But lets say we changed John 1:1 around, to instead read; In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. Does that make a difference? We know why in John 1:1 it's "Word" instead of "word" right? "Word" refers to a person, rather than the written word does it not? Now it's the same thing in 1 Pet. 1:23 Most versions read: having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. Other translations use the captialization "Word" being regenerated, not by corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the living Word of God, and remaining forever. Can we draw a conclusion which translation is correct? |

Doc; Concerning the statement you made in which you wrote: "God blots out His people's sins, but not their names." How do you reconcile that with the following Scripture? Exo 32:33 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. Deut 9:13 Furthermore Jehovah spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: Deut 9:14 let me alone, that I may destroy them, and BLOT OUT THEIR NAME from under heaven; and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they. Deut. 29:20 JEHOVAH WILL BLOT OUT HIS NAME from under heaven. Isn't the promise of not being blotted out given to those who overcome? Rev 3:5 He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Luke What has all this lengthy reply of yours got to do with me? All I posted was a single Bible verse. I didn't state any opinion. So how have you drawn so many opinions from the fact that I quoted a single verse from Scripture? NC |

Good post Aixen; I often wonder if it is possible that since the Roman Catholic Church is full of tradition, that it may be possible that the following Scripture would apply to them. Mark 7:6 This people honoreth me with their lips, But their heart is far from me. Mark 7:7 But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men. Mar 7:8 Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men. Mark 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition. Mark 7:13 making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have From my observations. It seems to me as though it very well may. |

I hear ya. I was listening to a radio show, and it was stated that it is likely that approximately 80 percent of those who believe they are saved, have never actually been born-again. And we know that Scripture says: "Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God! Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again." (John 3:5,7) |

EdB you said: "Christians on the other hand, should be the most fun people to be around" Maybe thats why people call them FUNdamentalist's I hear that quite often, but I don't see that portrayed in Scripture. Could you please provide me with some Scripture that would support that thought? I believe Christian's should have the peace that passes all understanding ruling and reigning in their hearts They should experience the joy of their salvation They should know the hope of eternal life which God has promised They should be sober They should be sincere without hypocrisy They should be generous They should show concern about the lost They should be salt and light They should love all people And I do. But should we expect the world to love us? Not from what I read in Scripture. |

Just to clarify. I didn't say, I don't like being in their company. I said THEY don't like to be in my company. To them I'm boring. I'm not the party animal with the off-colored jokes. 1 Pet. 4:3-4 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: |

I'm glad I clarified and said: "These are merely my observations of the catholics I have personally come to know." Most of them don't like to be in my company, because I refuse their offers of alcohol, and cigars. Others because, I don't have any good dirty jokes to tell them, or because I don't stare at the same clanty scad woman when they say: "hey check this one out will ya". I'm sure not all are like that. Sad to say, all the ones I know are And I agree, that many Protestants of main-line denominations act no better. Especially the ones I have met from the liberal churches. Most from the liberal denominations tell me God is too loving and tolerant to condemn homosexuality. Just reporting what I observe from my neck of the woods |

76 | Is God an accessory to evil? | Acts 4:28 | New Creature | 142832 | ||
Doc I appreciate all your help. I will study the Scriptures you gave me and see if I can find a satisfactory answer for my original question. I agree with you when you stated: "Keep asking questions! Every time you are uncomfortable it means it is an opportunity to learn! There are always answers." The only thing is: I am not sure the answer to my question will be an easy one. The following verse comes to mind. Deut. 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. Thanks again Doc NC |

79 | Speak from the midst of the fire to you? | Acts 9:4 | New Creature | 142242 | ||
The point I was making is that God has always spoken to man. And He has done this in various ways. He even once used a donkey to speak to Baalam. But what He says must agree with the written word. IN MANY WAYS AND IN VARIOUS WAY of old, God spoke to the fathers in the prophets; (Heb. 1:1 LITV) God didn't stop speaking to people in our day. He still speaks to individuals, and He still speaks to the body of Christ (church) corperately. Rev. 3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (seven times in Rev. 2and 3) If you or others have never personally heard from God, then don't attempt to tell others that God has not spoken to them. Thats between them and God. Don't set yourself up as judge over others as to whether or not God has spoken to them. |

justme I truly enjoyed your reply In communicating with God, we prayerfully study and mediatate upon His word. We cannot know God's will for our life, if we neglect His word. After having spent time alone with God in prayer and in His word, we then remain silent and patiently wait for God speak to us. God oftentimes guides us by His Spirit. His Spirit speaks to our spirit, and we know that we have heard from Him, when it agrees with His word. Like you said: If we don't remain receptive to His voice, then how can we expect Him to guide and leads us. One last thing Not only does God guide us individually, but He also speaks to us and guides us corperately, IF we have ears to listen. Rev 2:7,11,17,29;3:6,13,22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches The church of which we are a part must also have a ear to hear what the Spirit is saying in our day. |
