1501 | grace for the repentant heart | 1 Cor 9:17 | Ray | 54930 | ||
Hi teragram123, John the baptist was the forerunner of Christ. John baptized in water the people who came to him confessing their sins. Matthew 3:7, "...and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins." The self-righteous Pharisee and Sadducees were not baptized. The danger that they face and anyone else that does not know that he himself is a sinner, is that they are like chaff and useless for the kingdom of God. Romans 2:5, "But because of [in accordance with] your stubborness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who WILL RENDER TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS..." Jesus came to John with no sins to confess and needing no water baptism for cleansing. But it was to fulfill all righteousness. Psalm 40:10 and Heb 10:7, "Then I said, 'Behold I have come. In the scroll [roll, volume] of the book it is written of Me; to do Thy will, O God." Jesus Christ is righteous. 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us...and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world."

Hi Reformer Joe, Your point about translating Hebrews 4:8, "For if Joshua..." is a good one. Joshua is indeed speaking these words in Joshua 22:4, "And now the Lord your God has given rest to your brothers, as He spoke to them..." This shows the importance of using a version with capitalization of Deity, or at least taking note of who is speaking. Heb 4:8, "For if Joshua had given rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that." Note also the difference in Hebrews 4:7 between the NKJ and the NASB. The NKJ makes it clearer by rendering it, "...again He designates a certain day..." Excuse me for jumping in on your discussion. From the heart, Ray |

1503 | isn'tr it different for the saved? | 1 Cor 10:5 | Ray | 48700 | ||
Hi Reformer Joe, Thank you for the references of Romans and Hebrews. They were an impetus for meditation tonight. They brought me all the way to comparing Romans 15:29 and Hebrews 6:7. Thank you for influencing that blessing. I would suggest that our participants compare exactly Romans 8:4-8 and Hebrews 11:5,6 with the idea that we please God by seeking Him. As far as 1 Corinthians 10:5 is concerned I believe that we please God when we go to Him and know Him as our Rock. I go with the NKJ here. But even though we are Christians we are weak in Him. 2 Cor 13:4, "For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, yet we shall live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you." I think that the warning of 1 Corinthians 10:1-5 is that even though we are all under the cloud, baptized, eat the same spiritual food, and drink the same spiritual drink; even though we enjoy a great tradition and heritage, if we don't know the Rock then we are not saved. From the heart, Ray |

1504 | How is comunion only symbolic? | 1 Cor 10:16 | Ray | 6625 | ||
The world today wants to think of Jesus as a man. They want to remember Him as a man. They expect more than likely to see Him in heaven as a man. Scriptures see Him as the Son of Man and the Son of God. They give Him honor by capitalizing His Name. Scriptures tell us that God is a Spirit. He is one Lord, one Spirit. Therefore, truly,truly, in order that you can understand scriptures, know Jesus as a Man,know Him as living Bread, know Him as the Rock, know Him as the Light of the world. So, yes, 1Cor 10:17 is speaking figuratively; so capitalize it. Give Him honor in remembering who He is and what He did for us on the cross. The two verses here have three Breads. I capitalize them. John 6:31-42 has seven Breads. I capitalize them and know His humanity as the Son of Joseph. John 6:48-58 has seven Breads. I capitalize them and know that He is the One who is from God. John 7:52, "Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, "How can this man give us His flesh to eat?" (Note the confusing capitalization) No we can't eat this man's flesh, but we can spiritualize it, honor it, and remember this Man. John 7:63, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. But there are some of you who do not believe." |

1505 | searching for the truth | 1 Cor 11:3 | Ray | 125577 | ||
Hi Angel, "your will be done," can not be accomplished by redefining the Scripture: "our will be done!" Why the lower case "y"? 1) For 1 Cor 11:3 can we not think of Christ as the Head [sic] of every man, as the Amplified expresses it? But could we not also think of God as being the head [sic] of Christ, thus making them equal but set in order. From the heart, Ray |

1506 | What does "because of the angels" mean ? | 1 Cor 11:10 | Ray | 96841 | ||
Hi GeneZ, I stand corrected on the gender of the angels. What I had in mind when I wrote that is that the angels serve God alone. They don't have to worry about doing things for their spouses like we in the flesh do. They aren't concerned about pleasing anyone but the Lord. 1 Corinthians 7:32, "But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, and his interests are divided." Thank you for the correction. From the heart, Ray |

Hi EdB, I love it when forum members are working on a post together.:) It appears that it took over 24 hours, but I won the Sword Drill by one minute. I liked your thoughts. Good night, however. From the heart, Ray |

Hi EdB, I am doing all right thank you. Your question also rightly sounds like a "What ARE you talking about?" I am doing all right now that I know that the post I am talking about is not lost in cypberspace and I can explain my post. Terryandangie had a duplicate post for "To understand one verse". While you were working on this one I was working on the other. To understand why I say that I was one minute ahead of you, go to #103440. Perhaps an explanation of a "Sword Drill" is in order also, I don't know. I went to another verse, Colossians 1:18, so maybe you won after all. From the heart, Ray |

Hi EdB, Actually, I am suffering from a cold along with millions of other people. My immune system doesn't fight off colds since I am in my second round of chemo therapy. I am feeling well however, with no pain associated with my bone cancer yet, and no feelings of nausea from the chemo. I am mostly bald, so I am not worrying about hair loss. My daughter who inherited my original hairy legs, is envious I believe about my current smooth legs. From the heart, Ray |

1510 | why is toiauten translated 'other' here | 1 Cor 11:16 | Ray | 149465 | ||
Hi Tim, Why can't we just say "We have no other practice such as this [one], nor have the churches of God." Strong's #5108, toioutos; from toios (such, such-like) and 3778; such as this, such: From the heart, Ray |

1511 | why is toiauten translated 'other' here | 1 Cor 11:16 | Ray | 149493 | ||
Hi Tim, I know that there is no word for 'other' in the Greek for 1 Corinthians 11:16. But you missed my Strong's reference for "as this". If you talk of a practice "such as this" you are inferring a similar or other practice. From the heart, Ray |

1512 | why is toiauten translated 'other' here | 1 Cor 11:16 | Ray | 149515 | ||
Hi Tim, Another thing we can consider is that "custom" or practice is singular. My Greek Interlinear by Green reads, "But if anyone thinks to be contentious, we do not have such a custom, neither the churches of God." 1) As I think about these things, I am reminded of 1 Corinthians 9:9, NKJ, "...Is it oxen God is concerned about?" Is it oxen or is it "He" that is in the question? Verse 10 goes on and says, "Or is He speaking altogether for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written, because the plowman ought to plow in hope,..." In the same way, I would ask "Is God concerned about a head of hair?" No, He is concerned about Headship. And yet, He is speaking for our sake as well. 1 Corinthians 9:1, NKJ, "Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord? 2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtles I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord." 2) Perhaps we should take a closer look at 1 Corinthians 11:3 and 4, and be less concerned about hair and traditions. From the heart, Ray |

Hi Mommapbs, "Things are tough here in the new land" was a quote from a very short pilot series of the old west on TV that my wife and I enjoyed.** It can be very frustrating to try to commune and break bread together through the word of God when our sentences keep running together.** When I was talking to my computer repair man and showing him the problem, he typed in the paragraphs as a test. I didn't know the question being asked and didn't really intend to "send" the problem your way.** Excuse us for cutting in on this question, please. Now I can see if this thing works yet.:) |

1516 | Joe, baptism required for Lord's Supper? | 1 Cor 11:27 | Ray | 63225 | ||
Hi John, The way I read Searcher's post was that he was pointing out that the washing of the disciples feet was not in the context of Matthew 26:26, Mark 14:22, or Luke 22:17. I think that his point is well taken. I don't see the relevance, in context, of water baptism either. I think that we have to keep our eyes on Jesus, for this is God's word. In that regard I think that Morant61 and BradK are right on. Christ is worthy and we should think of Him rightly. This passage is about Jesus' body. The partakers were eating the Lord's Supper like it was their usual meal. Didn't they have homes to eat their meals in? Rather, they should be aware that this bread and cup were Christ's body and it was a meal of remembrance of His death not an occasion to fill their bellies. They were told to "examine yourselves". See if your thoughts of the body are correct. If you don't see the elements as God's body, if you don't see that God's Son died for you, then you are not of the faith and are guilty before God. You have to know that THIS IS the body of God's Son. 1 Corinthians 11:24, "THIS IS My body, which is [broken] for you." John 6:58, "THIS IS the Bread which came down out of heaven; not as the fathers ate, and died, he who eats this Bread shall live forever." Matthew 26:31, Mark 14:27, NKJ, "for it is written, 'I will strike the Shepherd, And the sheep will be scattered.'" I would say that anyone who knows the Savior and who knows that He died for his/her sins, would be welcome to remember His death in communion. 2 Corinthians 13:5, "Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you--unless you fail the test? But I trust that you will realize that we ourselves do not fail the test." From the heart, Ray |

1517 | some people say you must speak in tongue | 1 Cor 12:4 | Ray | 144090 | ||
Hi EdB, You wrote, "When we are saved we are filled/given/baptized in the Holy Spirit, we have it all." Can we talk about the semantics of that for a minute? Later in the paragraph you said that "He is complete in us"; so the "it all" is the Holy Spirit Himself. That is what I hear jcsavs saying also, that is, that we are filled with God Himself, the Gift. Is that the general teaching of the charismatic or pentecostal believer? You referenced 1 Cor 14, but the "spirit" of that chapter, the five words of instruction from the mind, are a lower case spirit that speaks mysteries. 1 Cor 14:2-19. For a reminder of how I see these things see #143816. I would say that we are filled/given/bapized in the holy spirit, and we have it all. He gives us the spirit without measure. John 3:34. From the heart, Ray |

Hi DocTrinsograce, He came and preached peace and through Him we have access in one Spirit to the Father. Since the Spirit is not mentioned until verse eighteen, I wonder how you translate/interpret verse sixteen. The choice offered is one of "by it" or "in Himself". Ephesians 2:16, "and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it [margin note, Or, in Himself] having put to death the enmity." From the heart, Ray |

Hi DocTrinsograce, I will agree with you for "Spirit" if you will agree with me in "it" for verse 16. I see the "it" as being the cross and the blood of Christ in verse 13. From the heart, Ray |

1520 | some people say you must speak in tongue | 1 Cor 12:4 | Ray | 144117 | ||
Hi Doc, My personal study is one of looking at the nouns and pronouns and having them divisible by three. So if I am persuaded to add a pronoun, then I look to drop one, or if I am persuaded to drop a pronoun, I look to add one. It is not a question of bartering with you, but trying to discern the nouns and pronouns of a triune God. We could use help on the Hebrew cross reference for Ephesians 2:17 also. Ephesians 2:17, NASB, "AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR." Isaiah 57:19, NASB, "Creating the praise of the lips, "Peace, peace to him who is far and to him who is near," Says the Lord, "and I will heal him."" Ephesians 2:17, NKJ, "And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near." Isaiah 57:19, NKJ, "I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near," Says the Lord, "And I will heal him."" Should the "I" be included in the Isaiah 57:19 verse? I believe so, but it would be good to get a scholarly opinion from a language expert. From the heart, Ray |
