1441 | It is time to glorify God for His mercy? | Rom 15:8 | Ray | 72542 | ||
Hi mommapbs, You're welcome. I hope I helped. Your comments led me to reconsider today the "Spirit of *Truth" occurances in Scripture. I also was led by your post to do a word search on the word "search". We are searching for the Truth that is found in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, "I am the Way, the **Truth, and the Life,/ no one comes to the Father, but through Me. If you had known (Me)..." Deuteronomy 4:29, "But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you search for **Him with all your heart and all your soul." 2 Kings 10:23, "And Jehu went into the house of Baal with Jehonadab the son of Rechab; and he said to the worshipers of Baal, "SEARCH AND SEE THAT there may be here with you none of the servants of the **Lord, but only the worshipers of Baal." John 7:52, "They answered and said to him, "You are not also from Galilee, are you? SEARCH, AND SEE THAT no **Prophet arises out of Galilee." Jeremiah 29:12, "Then you will call upon (Me) and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for **Me with all your heart." Please excuse the extra ** marks which along with the parentheses are for comparisons and contrasts. I hope they are meaningful. I might add for the discussion of "I and the Father are one" a suggested reading of Ephesians 1:10 in the NKJ. Ephesians 1:10, "that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times **He might gather together in one..." From the heart, Ray |

1442 | It is time to glorify God for His mercy? | Rom 15:8 | Ray | 72596 | ||
Hi mommapbs, I don't see the Ephesians passage as being in the future. I don't agree with one writer's notes about verse 7 talking about the Millenial kingdom. When I think of the fullness of times I think of right now. I think the time is ripe or full of possibilities for glorifying God, for instance. The fullness of times is the "right time". Galatians 4:4, "But when the fullness of time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, in order that He might redeem those who were under the Law,..." I connected the two verses for their mention of "one". John: "I and the **Father are one." Ephesians: "purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times, **He might gather together in one..." From the heart, Ray |

Hi mommapbs, You are asking me tough questions and I don't "think" well. I think I know what you are saying, but I don't even know if your question in your second paragraph is rhetorical or not. I am not up to answering you. But I will say that I do not have a bent for the "New Age" philosophy and am not trying to state a position that equates man with God. I have always tried to show the huge differences between God and a god, the Man and men, the Light of the world and us [we? Where are you English teachers?] as only lights. 1) I believe that a look at Ephesians 1:10 in a Interlinear New Testament will allay your fears of man being made equal or one with God in the passage. The idea is that "all things" are summed up, gathered together in one. The Interlinear of Jay P. Green, Sr. editor published by Baker Book House renders the verse as more of a "heading up of all things". The copy does not include the pronoun "He" that I have said that I like in the NKJ; but the idea that *He headed up all things in Christ gives the slant or assertion that you could go with. 2) Ephesians 1:9, that *He might sum up, gather together, head up, all things in Christ/. Colossians 1:17, "In *Him all things hold together. He/ is also Head of the body, the church;..." Colossians 2:10, "and in *Him you have been made complete [or full], and He/ is the Head over all rule and authority." John 17:13, "...that they my have *My joy made full in themselves." Ephesians 5:23, "For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the *Head of the church, He/Himself being the Savior of the body." As you can see, I capitalize Head when Christ is spoken of, having that idea of difference between the Man Jesus Christ and us. 3) I also think that part of the oneness in John 17 that Christ wants is the unity of belief that the Father sent the Son, and our unity of effort in being sent out by Him. John 17:18, "As *Thou didst send Me into the world, I/ also have sent them into the world." John 10:30, "*I and the Father are one." John 17:11, "...that they may be one, even as *We are." John 17:22, "...that they may be one, just as *We are one." He wants His love and joy to be in them. From the heart, Ray |

1444 | 1Corinthians questions: Gifts and women | 1 Corinthians | Ray | 3944 | ||
Hi KBurgee, I want to write to you and retxar about questions I have related to your question. The gift of tongues was something I prayed about some twenty years ago even though my dad had told me that that had "passed away" years ago. What do people think they are expressing on the whole when they are baptized or filled or whatever word is used? Expressed another way, do most people say they are filled with the Holy Spirit or with a holy spirit? 1 Corinthians 14:2 says, "for no one understands but in his spirit he speaks mysteries." Also, "his" is in italics and evidently not in Greek. 1Corinthians 14:14 says, "For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays,..." These two verses are saying that it is our spirit that is praying to God. It is not the Spirit's words. Compare Acts 2:4, "And they were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance." Listen to me now,(no I'm not Charles Stanley)could this read "And they were filled with holy spirit and began to speak... as the Spirit gave them utterance." When you look at these verses, should that be the interpretation? Again, what do most people think they are expressing when speaking in tongues? Is it like retxar said, "Thus saith the Lord" when it wasn't Him speaking at all? I don't know that much about Charismatics and what they think they are doing. Look at Acts 4:31 with my preferred lower case, "and they were filled with the holy spirit, and they spoke the word (singular) of God with boldness." I think the NASB reads "began to speak" because later verses showed that they continued to give testimony. You have said "The spirit of the Lord will do what it will" We know that the Holy Spirit is a He not an it. But in reference to what I am talking about it would not be out of the question to test the spirits and see if it is from God. I wonder, because of your capitalization of Life if you would consider Colossians 3:3,4 with me? "For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our Life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory." Col.3:13 goes along with Corinthians 13 and 14, "Beyond all these things put on love" and "Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you..." Later, Ray |

Hi Johnny Ray, We live pretty close to each other. Can I look at 1Thess 5:21 with you? I don't know which version you quoted but I'd like to look at four or five other biblical scholars and we can do what the verse says to us and "Test all things." KJV "Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." RSV "Do not quench the Spirit, do not despise prophesying, but test everything; hold fast what is good..." NASB "Do not quench the Spirit; do not despise prophetic utterances. But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good;..." Your version's "Test all things" reminds me of "test the spirits" and that is what I would have you do right now. Look at two more scholars and see if they don't come closer to the meaning. Phillips: "Never dampen the fire of the Spirit, and never despise what is spoken in the name of the Lord. By all means use your judgment, and hold on to whatever is really good." NEB "Do not stifle inspiration, and do not despise prophetic utterances, but bring them all to the test and then keep what is good in them and avoid the bad of whatever kind." No one can quench the Spirit. But the fire or the inspiration of the Spirit can be quenched. So I would interpret it as "Do not quench the spirit." What do you think? Later, Ray |

1447 | 1Corinthians questions: Gifts and women | 1 Corinthians | Ray | 4164 | ||
Hi retxar, I appreciate your reference verses and we would probably be in agreement with each other if we were to talk together in person. I appreciate your "other possible helps" too, for I think we can see all three Persons contrasted in those verses, especially if you included Luke 12:10. The one thing I am trying to get people to consider is "being filled with the holy spirit". I've stated elsewhere that there are nine places where scriptures speak of being filled with the holy spirit. One of them is in your references, Acts 2:4, and I see the spirit and the Spirit in that verse. I don't think I've acquired many soul-mates but I don't know for sure. Capitalization doesn't appear to be very important to most people. Other verses that might help are Acts 6:5,10, Acts l0:38,and Acts 13:52. Filled with joy and faith and wisdom and the holy spirit with power. Consider it, please. Later, Ray |

1448 | define speaking in tongues. | 1 Corinthians | Ray | 48859 | ||
Hi ralphie. Thank you for those references; I found the truth. 1Corinthians 13:4, "Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not bag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, v.6, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; v.7, bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." Paul does not forbid the speaking of tongues, saying that he speaks in tongues even more than they do. But it has to be interpretted to be of any value. Paul would rather speak five words of the mind's spirit than ten thousand words in a tongue that do not lead to edification. But we have to realize that the spirit that we receive in our minds, also, just like the tongues, is not from ourselves. 1 Corinthians 14:36, NKJ, "Or did the word of God come [originally] from you? Or [was] it you only that it reached?" My Interlinear copy has the "Word" capitalized but I do not think that the verse is talking about Christ Himself. The Word Himself did not come from any man for He was the Son of God. Just so the word of God the Holy Bible did not come from man but was God-breathed. If we are, if I were, "speaking in tongues" right now, here is my interpretation then of Acts 2:4. "And they were filled with the *holy *spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit [sic] *was giving them utterance." Verse 11, "Cretan and Arabs--we hear them in our own tongues speaking of the mighty deeds of God." The words of the tongues-speaker are the word of God and not from themselves. They are to bring glory to God alone. The gift of tongues is not something that is required for salvation nor something to be acquired with pride. It is just that, a gift from God. But the truth is, we should desire first the righteousness and love that comes from God. 1 Corinthians 13:6 This love is a still more excellent way. From the heart, Ray |

Hi Pastor Paul, Welcome to the forum. I have tried to get people to look at the 14 "bread" words of John 6. Through the years I have found them good to meditate on in considering how we should regard this "son or Son of Joseph". John 6:42. The Jehovahs Witnessses deny the Deity of Christ and do not believe in the Trinity. Yet, I do not think that they are entirely wrong, just as we are not entirely correct, in everything. In their seeing God the Holy Spirit as just a power or force, we correctly try to educate them. We believe that the Holy Spirit is a Person and not an it. However, when we deny that there is no holy spirit I feel that we can be just as off base. Jesus was the Son of God, not a god, nor the son of God. That is my personal statement of capitalization as regards the Witnesses and their translation. But for the "bread" words of John that I want to look at with you, we can know that He was not the son of Joseph either but rather the Son of Joseph. You mention 14 "I am" verses. There are 14 verses containing the word "bread" also. The first seven are found in John 6:31-42. John 6:42, "And they were saying, 'Is this not Jesus, the son [sic] of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, 'I have come down from heaven?'" Jesus came in the flesh and was in the likeness of men but when we have communion it is not His flesh that we eat. He is manna that came down from heaven. Maybe I can search more and find where I asked my question about the breads and you could talk there, but please comment on how you might see the possibility of the "holy spirit" for us. I ask this since I asked the question on this part of the thread. When I first studied the bread words of John 6, I made the breads lower case and thought of Him as the son of Joseph, and the last seven Breads upper case to show that he was completely, perfectly God. Right now I have them all capitalized in my personal copy and think of Him as the Son of Joseph. What are your thoughts? From the heart, Ray |

1451 | Are tongues a world language or not? | 1 Corinthians | Ray | 49639 | ||
Hi Aristarchus, Another answer: 1 Cor 14:2 "For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries." NASB 1 Cor 14:2, NKJ, For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. Rev 1:10, "I was in the *spirit on the Lord's day..." From the heart, Ray |

1452 | What does Anathema Maranatha mean 1Cor16 | 1 Corinthians | Ray | 56908 | ||
Hi Goldnbreez, A comparison of 1 Corinthians 16:22 and Revelation 22:20 will show a relative position of "Maranatha" and "Yes, I am coming quickly". They both speak of love and grace. They both speak of the Lord Jesus. 1 Corinthians speaks of being accursed if one does not love the Lord. Revelation speaks of being cursed if anyone takes away from the words of the book.

1453 | "God uses the weak to confound the wise" | 1 Corinthians | Ray | 76495 | ||
Hi philemcc, I think we should continue your passage so that Mother Superior does not think that the weak are accomplishing anything. We boast in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 1:19, "For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdome of the wise, And the cleverness of the clever I will set aside. 20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God/ made foolish the wisdom of the world?" 1 Corinthians 1:30 tells us that it was all His doing that we are in Christ Jesus and that the power in us is wisdom from God/. Even a spirit of wisdom? The slashes are mine for comparison. 1 Corinthians 1:24, "but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God/ is stronger than men." From the heart, Ray |

1454 | Why Didn't Paul and Jesus Baptize? | 1 Cor 1:17 | Ray | 70426 | ||
Hi Tim, kingte1234 is not a "capitalizer" based on his lower case post. But consider more of what he is saying. I think that he would say that you can't have "one lord, one faith, and one baptism" and have "both" of your baptisms. Of course I would have to tell him that there is a difference between a "lord" and the Lord Jesus Christ. But I agree with him that you can't have one baptism and both. I would say that the only way that you can have both baptisms is by saying that you have been born of "water and *spirit". John 3:5. John 3:3,4, "(Jesus) answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." 4 Nichodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born, can he? 5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the *spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God./ 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the *spirit is spirit." The parenthesis, slash, and stars are mine. The lower case spirit is my interpretation and what I am suggesting would be the only way that you can have both in one. That is, you would be baptized in water and holy spirit. Tim, in your 1 Corinthians passage there is no mention of water. When one speaks by the Spirit of God and says that "Jesus is my Lord", then from that moment on the Holy Spirit indwells him. I see this passage as the indwelling rather than a baptism. 1 Cor 12:3,4 talk about the same (Spirit) and the same Lord. Verse nine speaks of the same Spirit/ and the one Spirit. Verse 11, "But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He (Spirit) wills." Christ is one spiritual body. 1 Corinthians 12:13, "For by one Spirit we were baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." That is the way I look at these passages of Scripture. (Still penciled in, however) Help me if I need an eraser. From the heart, Ray |

1455 | Why Didn't Paul and Jesus Baptize? | 1 Cor 1:17 | Ray | 70470 | ||
Hi Tim, I am afraid that I won't agree with you very much in this post, but bear with me if you will. (1) I am surprised that you would think that if there would be one choice of baptisms that you would choose water. When you say that it is your understanding that Ephesians 4:5 is speaking of water, is this something you have been taught or is it something you have come to understand? 2) I think that we agree (although using different words) when I say that 1 Cor 12 speaks of the "indwelling of the Holy Spirit" and you speak of a believer being placed "into the Body of Christ". We are in Him and He is in us. We are one body, one spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:13, "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body..." 3) John 3:3-8. What I tried to say earlier is that if there is only one baptism we can not have a water and Spirit [sic] scenario; nor a water OR Spirit choice. I do not see water baptism in John 3, either. If there is one baptism then I believe that it is spiritual. I believe that water must be in agreement not in contrast. The way that I see it is that water must be combined with spirit [sic]. The water is the birth process of being born. Then we must be born again from above. This happens when the pneuma or wind or spirit "blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the *spirit. [wind, spirit] We are generated, born, from the spirit or word of God. God wished to come to His own and He spoke words of eternal life, yet they did not know where He came from or where He was going. That is the way of all of us; we have to be born of this holy spirit [wind]. But here I agree with the NKJ for John 3:11, "Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness." In other words, this God/Man spoke earthly and heavenly words and they did not believe. John 3:12, "If I/ told you earthly things and you do not believe, how shall you believe if I tell you heavenly things?" 4) I'd be happy to start in a discussion of being baptized "with"... but perhaps in a different place and time. 5) As far as John 3:6 and being born of the *spirit is concerned, my choice is influenced by the "five words of power" that I spoke of in #3107. I see five words of spiritual power in verses 5-8. It's good to talk with you Tim. From the heart, Ray |

1456 | Solomon the wisest man? | 1 Cor 1:24 | Ray | 59708 | ||
Hi Johnny, You can compare Solomon and Jesus but it is like comparing night and day, man and Man, and in a sense wisdom and Wisdom (although I wouldn't go with the Amplified capitalization. I would say Jesus was fully God and fully Man so we differ a bit there. I have come to compare man and Man even in John 7:46, "The officers answered, "Never did a man speak the way this Man speaks." 1 Corinthians 1:27 says that the foolishness of God is wiser than men. Verse 19 says that the "cleverness of the cleaver I have set aside." So that is why it is good that Soloman in 1 Kings 3:9 says, "So give Thy servant a [hearing] an understanding heart..." 1 Corinthians 1:20, "Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?" Yet in the time of Christ and even today we hear people say as in John 10:20, "And many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him?/" Proverbs 30:5, "Every word of God/ is tested; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. Do not add to (His) words Lest He reprove you, and you be proved a liar." John 3:33, "He who has received His witness has set his seal to this, that God/ is true. For He whom God has sent speaks the words of (God); for He gives the *spirit without measure." From the heart, Ray |
||||||
1457 | Where in the Bible can I find This? | 1 Cor 2:9 | Ray | 83741 | ||
Hi EdB, It's always interesting to think about "the things" of God. 1) 1 Corinthians 2:9, "but just as it is written, "Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, ALL that God has prepared FOR THOSE WHO LOVE (Him)." 10, For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches ALL THINGS, even the depths of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit/ of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit [I would interpret it as spirit] [who is] from God, SO THAT WE MAY KNOW THE THINGS GIVEN to us by (God), which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the [Holy, NKJ] Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words." Isaiah 64:1, "Oh, that Thou/ wouldst rend the heavens and come down, [That You would come down!, NKJ] That the mountains might quake at Thy presence--As fire kindles the brushwood, as fire causes water to boil--TO MAKE (Thy) NAME KNOWN to Thine adversaries, That the nations may tremble at Thy presence! 3 When Thou didst awesome things which we did not expect, Thou didst come down, the mountains quaked at Thy presence. For from of old they have not heard nor perceived by ear, Neither has the eye seen a God/ besides Thee, Who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him. (Thou) dost meet him who rejoices in doing righteousness." 2) Isaiah 64:8, "But now O Lord, (Thou) art our Father, We are the clay, and Thou our potter; AND ALL OF US are the work of Thy hand." 1 Corinthians 3:9, "For WE ARE God's fellow workers,..." 3) 1 Cor 3:16, "Do you not know that you are a temple of (God), and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" 1 Cor 3:21, "So then let no one boast in men. For all things belong to you,...all things belong to you, and you belong to (Christ); and Christ belongs to God." 4) John 4:25, "The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming (He/ who is called Christ); when that One comes (He) will DECLARE ALL THINGS to us." Romans 8:32, "He who did not spare His own Son/, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with (Him) freely GIVE US ALL THINGS?" John 14:25, "These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father/ will send in My name, He will teach you ALL THINGS, and bring to your remembrance all that (I) said to you." These things are spiritually appraised. 1 Cor 2:14. The slashes and parentheses are mine for comparisons. BOLD print is also mine. From the heart, Ray |
||||||
1458 | Corinthians vs. Isaiah | 1 Cor 2:9 | Ray | 146996 | ||
Hi terrib, Another comparison verse for 1 Cor 2:9 might be Isaiah 6:9. Here Isaiah volunteers to go to the people and the (triune) God said, "Go and tell this people: 'Keep on listening, but do not perceive; Keep on looking, but do not understand. 10 Render the hearts of this people insensitive, Their ears dull, And their eyes dim, Lest they see with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their hearts, And return and be healed." However, these things are revealed through the Spirit, or through His Spirit. The contrast between Isaiah who was sent and the Lord of glory who was sent is seen. Jesus spoke in parables and hidden wisdom these spiritual things and it is necessary to come to Him to be healed. Matthew 13:13, "Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 And in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, 'You will keep on hearing, but will not understand; And you will keep on seeing, but will not perceive; 15 For the heart of this people has become dull, And with their ears they scarcely hear, And they have closed their eyes Lest they should see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart and return, And **I should heal them.' 16 "But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. 17 For truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it; and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it." From the heart, Ray |
||||||
1459 | NKJ, NASB, and varied manuscripts. | 1 Cor 2:10 | Ray | 146953 | ||
Hi terrib, The first clause of 1 Cor 2:10 speaks of the things revealed, and the second talks of the things searched. So I would not say that they should both be necessarily capitalized. I again reference #146900 and the discussion there. The thoughts of God are known by the Spirit of God; He does not have to search for them. However, our spirit searches all things; for our spirit wants to know the things that are freely given to us by God. When we know those things, having been taught by the Holy Spirit, we have wisdom from God. We have received the spirit and words of the hidden wisdom which God predestined. That is why I would interpret verse 12 with a lower case "spirit" also. 1 Cor 2:12, "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the *spirit which is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God." From the heart, Ray |
||||||
1460 | NKJ, NASB, and varied manuscripts. | 1 Cor 2:10 | Ray | 146992 | ||
Hi terrib, 1 Corinthians 2:10 has been discussed by believers through the ages. The varied manuscripts are proof of this to my mind. The NU text does not include the word "His", thus the NASB is translated "revealed them through the Spirit" rather than the NKJ "His Spirit". The idea of desiring one of the words to be deleted, suggests to me that one of the words of Spirit should be lower case. I believe that there should be four words of Deity for the verse. I see the choices as being: "For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God." (NASB) "For to us God revealed them through His Spirit; for the *spirit searches all things, even the depths of God." (NKJ and a lower case spirit for the second clause) "For to us God revealed them through His spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God." Each of those choices have four words of Deity in them. 1 Corinthians 2:4, "And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit, and of power, 5 so that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God." From the heart, Ray |
