21 | A Study of John's Gospel. | John 1:1 | Rainbow Maker | 39875 | ||
Hi Cynthia, I am glad you are joining me: 4:The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. In the beginning was Jesus, the Word,he was with God in the beginning and this Jesus was/is God Himself. This Word, Jesus entered into this world of time and came to live with humanity/Israelites. The incarnation is so crucial, that we have someone who came to share our humanity so that He might pay the penalty for our sins by dying in our place. A God could not do this, only the God man Jesus was qualified. We shall speak about these qualities or qualifications later on. During His lifetime here with us Jesus showed His glory to us, a glory that is of the only one who has ever come from the Father and this glory is full of grace and truth. During his life here with us and I think John is refering both to Jesus' life in Israel as well as his life among humans.. Jesus demonstrated to us that He shares in the glory of God. Here is the next verse for you. The next sequence after this verse, begins the ministry of John the Baptist. John 1:5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. Cynthia, I am going to take this as the verses come unless I need clarification then we can both do some research. Your brother in Christ Andy |

22 | Is God with us at all times? | Matt 28:20 | Rainbow Maker | 39770 | ||
How I like the quote from Jeremiah and also Paul speaking to the Corinthian Christians in 1 Cor 3:3 for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men? Walking like mere men and drinking milk is somewhere all Christians must begin. Though even until the day we die we will be flesh but not merely so for the Spirit of him who raised Jesus Christ from the dead will give life to our mortal bodies too. Our bodies are Temples of the Holy Spirit and because they are so we inherit the Kingdom through this potentiality the Potentiality of the Spirit which in us makes us far more than flesh and blood.

23 | what the meaning of John 20 :1-8 ? | John | Rainbow Maker | 39767 | ||
Yes the resurrection is very real even though there are four Gospel versions of it and other versions in the Epistles. Jesus' death for our sins was a free gift unto eternal life, for as many as believe he gave power to be sons and daughters of God. "Rom 8:14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." If we have accepted God's free gift of salvation and have received the gift of the holy Spirit and are being led by that then we are sons and daughters of God. Andy Rainbow maker |

So some protestant Bibles also use this translation. Rainbow Maker |

27 | what the meaning of John 20 :1-8 ? | John | Rainbow Maker | 39744 | ||
Yes Patricia seeing is believing though remember that after doubting Thomas put his finger into Jesus' side Jesus said more blessed are they who believe who have never seen. John 20:29 in the New American Catholic Bible says "Jesus then said to him (Thomas)'you became a believer because you saw me blest are they who have not seen and have believed'" Rainbow Maker |

28 | Why God told the Jews to Divorce. | Ezra 10:10 | Rainbow Maker | 39526 | ||
Subject: "God commanded the Jews to divorce" Ezra 10:10-11 ESV And Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, "You have broken faith and married foreign women, and so increased the guilt of Israel. Now then make confession to the LORD, the God of your fathers and do his will. Separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign wives." Note In Ezra 10:10-11 "God actually commanded the Jews to divorce by separating from these idolatrous wives. ... Though God hates divorce, there are times when it is the lesser of the evils and would prevent a future and even greater spiritual catastrophe." MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997 Again: Ezra 9:2 "For they have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy race has intermingled with the peoples of the lands; indeed, the hands of the princes and the rulers have been foremost in this unfaithfulness." When cross referenced with : - Deut 7:1 "When the LORD your God brings you into the land where you are entering to possess it, and clears away many nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and stronger than you, Deut 7:2 and when the LORD your God delivers them before you and you defeat them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them and show no favor to them. Deut 7:3 "Furthermore, you shall not intermarry with them; you shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor shall you take their daughters for your sons. Deut 7:4 "For they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods; then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you and He will quickly destroy you. Deut 7:5 "But thus you shall do to them: you shall tear down their altars, and smash their sacred pillars, and hew down their Asherim, and burn their graven images with fire. Deut 7:6 "For you are a holy people to the LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.NASB AND Ex 34:15 otherwise you might make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land and they would play the harlot with their gods and sacrifice to their gods, and someone might invite you to eat of his sacrifice, We are dealing with separate events in the History of Israel when it was in the best interest of the people, firstly when entering Palestine and secondly when returning there after the captivity in Babylon, not to intermarry with the nations. Note: 10:6-44 All the returned exiles gathered in Jerusalem to hear Ezra’s rebuke and prescription for the problem of mixed marriage of Jew to non-Jew. The men are to separate themselves from the peoples of the land which in later centuries became a Jewish technical term for non-Israelite residents in the land and from foreign wives. Thus the pattern was set for strict ethnic purity to be observed by those who see themselves as God’s covenant people. The rule was applied to Jewish officials, priests, Levites, and the people of Israel in general. Note: Accordingly, the wives and children of the returning Jews who had intermarried were to be sent away. Cambridge Annotated Study Bible NRSV With Apocrypha Edited By Howard Clark Kee Parsons Technology, Inc. Cedar Rapids, Iowa Weeping, in this case, is good, but reforming is better. As to being unequally yoked with unbelievers, such marriages, it is certain, are sinful, and ought not to be made; but now they are not null, as they were before the gospel did away the separation between Jews and Gentiles. Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary On The Whole Bible By Matthew Henry Yes God did tell the Jews to divorce their foreign wives and to send them home with the children because the purity of the Jewish faith was paramount. The Exodus reference suggests the strong influence a wife might have on her family. Rainbow Maker |

30 | Can a divorced person remarry? | 1 Cor 7:15 | Rainbow Maker | 39256 | ||
1 Corinthians 7:15 Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace. First of all little one I am not a Catholic I merely stated what is believed by millions of those who are. Secondly if I was a Catholic rather than merely an anglocatholic I would have considerable more inspired scripture than most of the other members of this forum. Thirdly and this time is the exception to my rule, I do not believe in criticizing the beliefs of other Christians because I believe that we are called to believe as we do by the Holy Spirit because there is something we need to learn by going that way. So I would ask you to keep that in mind. " You write: THE JEWS, GREEKS AND ROMANS OF THE NT ERA CORRECTLY UNDERSTOOD THAT DIVORCE INDEED IS A DISSOLUTION OF THE MARRIAGE BOND JUST AS THOUGH IT HAD NEVER BEEN." I congratulate you in your perception of this but do not forget that many who approach scripture for answers are formed in the image of their own sociohistorical period rather than that of the times when the Scriptures were written. Your brother in Christ. |

31 | Under pressure?? | Ps 4:1 | Rainbow Maker | 39165 | ||
"For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 2 Matt 6:27 "And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? 3 Matt 6:28 "And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, Tremendous pressure often brings worry and our Lord Jesus tells us that this is boith futile and unnecessary. He alone can answer all our needs. If we are anxious because of our worry and pressure then Jesus tells us to be anxious for nothing: Phil 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Phil 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. If we would have peace then just ask Jesus for it. |

32 | Who is "Lilith" in Isaiah 34:13-15? | Genesis | Rainbow Maker | 38800 | ||
Greetings Tim, Gen 5:5 says So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died. The Hebrew word for Adam here is from the same as 120; meaning the first man, also a city in the Jordan Valley:Adam 12 I always like to check the etymology and translation of Words because it helps me to understand what was being said in the first place. It appears that one of two Hebrew words are used to refer to Adam and may be singular or plural. So that sometimes the Bible refers to a man called Adam and sometimes to mankind collectively. So in this case it is a man called Adam whom is referred to and it is he who lived for 930 years. Naturally it was he who fathered Seth since many men cannot father a single individual. Note that in the first story of creation in Genesis chapter one that no name is given for the man and the woman furthermore that it the term man which translates as humanity because what follows is plural because God says let them. Gen 1:26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." Gen 1:27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Gen 1:28 God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth." It is not until chapter 2 that we have the name Adam for the man and not until verse 20 and note that firstly here it is just the man and then it is Adam;Gen 2:20 says The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. Rom 5:14 says Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. Here note that Paul is refering to Adam as a Type of Christ, so it is legitimate to do so. Paul also says that sin reigned over everyone even over those who did not sin in the manner of Adam. So whether Adam and Eve were our first parents or merely typify them this has no effect whatsoever on our status today. Also it seems not to matter whether we are directly related to Adam because due to his sin we are all under the penalty of the Law see Rom 3:23 which tells us that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Yours in Christ Rainbow Maker |
