21 | Has the time arrived to believe in Him? | Dan 7:22 | One | 70649 | ||
Again look at what this says on the clouds He is not coming "FROM" the Ancient of days, He is comming to the Ancient of Days. I think your right when you speak of this being in the Jews future. I think it is inccorect to see it relating to us because then it would have to read He come FROM the ancient of days. To me is is interesting how people make so many passages relate to Christ second commimg when Christ had not even had His first comming. The Jews in the OT were not looking, expecting or hoping for His second comming they were looking for His first comming. To me what Daniel says refers to the comming of the church only. |

22 | Has the time arrived to believe in Him? | Dan 7:22 | One | 71055 | ||
Sorry I was so long in getting back. I have not been at work for several days during the holidays. Yes, I do believe in the trinity. I do see distinct roles here, I see the Son of Man as Christ, the Ancient of Days as the Father and the Spirit as the one revealing this vision. To make the Son of Man as referring to the trinity you have the Godhead coming to its self. I feel the way I explained it above is more likely, although it is in many ways difficult to separate the trinity. | ||||||
23 | I Love Jesus | Dan 8:14 | One | 68764 | ||
I don't feel we do. To me the Bible is God's prefect revelation, all sufficient. Paul said in 1Cor 13:8 that prophecies etc would cease when the perfect comes. Now there are a number of people who would and probably will disagree with me, I will not argue with them. That said, when I have spoke with people who say they have had visions I don't try to convince them they did see what they thought they did. What I do say is that if a vision tells you something different than what is in the Bible, reject it! Gal 1:8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed! |

24 | Jesus died go do what? | Matthew | One | 66817 | ||
One thin about your post: Yes, Jesus was separated from the Father at the cross for how long we don’t know. However let us notice His body was still on the cross, He later says, “Father into your hands I commit my spirit." So I don’t think we can say His spirit was in hell there since it never left His body and was committed to the Father. So where did Jesus go when He died? I feel the following passages answer that. Heb 9:11 ff But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; 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. Heb 9:24 For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; |

25 | are we allowed to eat meat or not. | Matt 5:17 | One | 69370 | ||
Just a footnote the animals that are considered unclean require better cooking in order not to make some one sick. Take pork for example it would be very easy for someone to get trichinosis from pork using old nomadic cooking techniques. | ||||||
26 | Do all little ones believe? | Matt 18:6 | One | 66569 | ||
When you say David was born in sin you might want to consider the following verse: Ps 22:10 Upon You I was cast from birth; You have been my God from my mother's womb. David like any good writer uses literary devices. When he say "Behold I was shapen in iniquity” he was using a exaggeration for effect. How can I say this so confidently? Consider another verse Ps 139:13 For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. Therefore to me I look at what David says very differently. Also if children are not innocent of sin why does Jesus say Matt 18:3 and said, Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. As to some of your passages you quote about children being punished for what tier parents did yes this does happen. However look at it from a practical stand point could you see Lot trying to lead every ones children out of the city of Sodom with out there parents? I look at it like this if I go out and become a drunk lose my job, house, wife, life ect. Does my children suffer for my malfeasants? Yes! Are they guilty for my sins? I will let the prophet answer this. Ezek 18:4 Behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine. The soul who sins will die. Ezek 18:20 The person who sins will die. The son will not bear the punishment for the father's iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son's iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself. |

27 | Do all little ones believe? | Matt 18:6 | One | 66635 | ||
Dear cwade I guess let me approach this from a different angle. What will ultimately condemn us or save us? Acts 4:11-12 He is the STONE WHICH WAS REJECTED by you, THE BUILDERS, but WHICH BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone. And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved. John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. You see the way I see things is God love the world so much that he gave his son to pardon all our sins. To me the thing that condemns us is not that we have done something wrong, but that we have rejected God and His sacrifice for our sin. Every person that I see in the New and Old Testament was judged by did they believe and follow God not by whether or not they have sinned. Therefore I have to ask myself a questions: Does an infant or three year old or whom ever have the ability to reject the sacrifice Jesus made for them at Calvary. Now you might say, “Well I know some three year olds who have accepted Jesus.” I feel what they have accepted is what there parents have said about Jesus, which is very important. What I saying is I knew of Jesus when I was a child, believe I Jesus, and the molded decisions I later made. However I personal feel I was much older before I understood who Jesus was, what He did for me, and then made the decision to take up my cross and follow Him. Peace to you my brother. |

28 | Do all little ones believe? | Matt 18:6 | One | 66697 | ||
How have infants sinned? Because Adam sinned? I feel my passage from Ezekiel handled the idea of sin being passed from father to son. What I believe Romans is speaking of is a sinful nature, not Adams sin itself, I will refer you back to the Ezekiel passage if you want to know why I would presume this is refers to a nature and not the sin its self. When are infants lost? Revelation tells us at the end of time we will all be judged according to what we have done. So they would be lost when they had their own sin. I also don’t believe in “one saved always saved.” Or many other points of the TULIP theory and at this point we can agree to disagree because I pretty sure we are both familiar with the scriptures we both would use. Peace and love to you my brother. |

30 | Take Up Our Cross: What does it mean? | Luke 9:23 | One | 67233 | ||
Yes we must be willing to bear up under trials and temptations but keep in mind temptation is not from God. As James says, "Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone..." James 1:13 Again to me our cross to bear is somthing we choose to do as a work for Christ. It is a choice we make daily. To me each Christian should pray "God reveal to me how I can surve you. If I am blessed in what I do then let me be blessed to your glory and if I am to be crushed then let me be crushed to your glory." I love the question to where is God. In an indirect way I think the woman at the well asked this question. Basicaly she said you Jews worship in Jerusalem, we worship on this mountain, where is the correct place? The question is much deeper as they believe, in acient times, God's spirit dwelled in the temple. So in an indirect wat she was asking, "Where is God?" Then you have to love Jesus answer John 4:23 "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. In other words you don't have to look for God, God is looking for you. |

31 | What is the Bible's take on sacriments? | Acts 13:38 | One | 68498 | ||
I think he hit it right on the head. To me whenever we speak of Baptism some one always jumps in with, “We are saved by faith!” Yes, we are, but look at Hebrews 11. There it has all kind of “work” that people did and there it says buy faith Moses etc. So we can do something and not have is called a work but faith. When I was baptized did I see my union with Christ (Romans 6:1 ff)? Did I see my sins washed away (Acts 22:16)? So how did I know it happened, by Faith! Peace to all, one. |

32 | Teacher, when were the 11 rebaptized? | Romans | One | 66971 | ||
If I may say a few things, if we really want good translations of the Greek lets look at the Greek culture its self. If we look at Greece to thins are not an issue in the Greek Church: 1. Baptism for the remission of sins. 2. Total immersion. As to Cornelius conversion this was a special event. How do I know this? Look at this passage Acts 11:15 "And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them just as He did upon us at the beginning. Peter here is defending him preaching to the gentiles. Note what he says the spirit fell on them just as he did on them in the beginning. He did say just as he does when someone believes. Peter here has to go all the way back to Pentecost to show a like experience. We should also understand that there are different levels of receiving the spirit. Balam’s donkey had the spirit come on it to speak but to date no one have ever tried to tell me this donkey was saved. Remember to Jesus said the Spirit would come into the world to convict men of sin. What happened at Pentecost scripture says “And they were cut to the heart.” Here we have the Sprit working in men’s heart and they are not saved. In fact it is the Spirit working in the heart of man to change them. Some people accept the spirits work some reject it. As to the whole “baptism” issue I think when we try to say here is the moment someone is saved they can stop and so can we Is a totally foreign idea to the New Testament church. To me some passage speak of confessing, with out a word of repentance or baptism because they viewed the whole thing as the same event. We can twist Act 2:38 around and we are still left with 1 Peter 3:21. Also look to at the stories of the Bible. The Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8:27 and ask yourself a question when did he go away happy and when was Philip taken away, after baptism. When did the Jailer rejoice after baptism. Therefore baptism was apart of the whole flow of the process and to exclude it is the result of theologians thinking too much. Now you might say baptism is a work and works does not save us. At this point people try a pit Paul and James against one another and this would be a contradiction if they were speaking of the same type of works. If we look at Romans Paul is speaking of works of “the Law”, while James speaks of works of faith. I might also there is one work none of us cannot be saved with out and that’s God’s work and that’s what baptism is. Col 2:12 having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. |

Please also note Peter is so clear we need the help of men to missunder stand him. 1 Pet 3:21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, |

Yes, I am sorry I work trading stocks and things here can get busy and I didn’t proof that well enough. My point was you accused teacher of leaning on the teaching of men, and all he has done was quote scriptures. Does not the Bible say work out your own salvation with fear and trembling? Yet, through out these post you and other have quoted men saying “Well I know what this passage says but what it means is this.” To me this is looking to men more than what teacher is doing. | ||||||

Yes, I understand work in that context means more of figure out for your self. Tim judging from you profile I am sure you are familiar with the story of Naaman. If I may ask a question was his life spared due to works or the grace of GOD? 2 Kin 5:14 So he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child and he was clean. |

39 | Teacher, when were the 11 rebaptized? | Romans | One | 67197 | ||
Maybe the explanation I gave before is a bit simplistic so allow me to further elaborate. The context is speaking of the flood of Noah and a comparison is made. God saved Noah by water as God saves us through baptism. Is baptism a work? Look at how many years Noah labored but does God say of him? Heb 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. Further more I could give you some high theological wrangling about how it saves us but I would be giving an opinion. It really doesn’t matter the fact is God said it and that is it. If we believe it or not it does change what is said. If it agrees with our theological view or not it does change what has been said. |
