202 | Please explain Isaiah 60 verse 1 | Is 60:1 | Rowdy | 115949 | ||
I'm afraid I'm at a loss for words for once. I can't think of a thing to add. I would suggest sticking to the traditional handling of God's Word as it appears whenever possible. But I still wish for God's blessings on your continued study. I'll be interested in seeing what other Forum participants think about this. | ||||||
203 | "and on their heart I will write it" | Jer 31:33 | Rowdy | 115313 | ||
We see the fulfillment of this prophecy from Jeremiah in the establishment of the Lord's church roughly about 33 AD. God delegated His authority to rule over such matters as cited below. Matt 28:18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Thus we see the transition from the OT to the NT with a much covenant, with much better promises. This is made very clear in Heb 10. The whole book Hebrews is devoted to contrasting the superiority of Christ's covenant with that of the Law of Moses. Don't get me wrong and misunderstand about the 10 commandments. Indeed, 9 of the 10 are quoted by the NT and are expanded upon. For example, we are not only to avoid "murder" with "Thou shalt not kill," now we are love and even forgive our enemies instead of going with "an eye for an eye." But the best thing about discarding the authority of the OT for us as modern christians: we get to experience true freedom from our sins. In OT era, God's people didn't have a clear picture of redemption nor did they have a clear picture of Heaven. Now we have those and much more. Our High Priest is the very Son of God whereas their's was the current son of the Levite tribe. We get to pray directly to God our Father as truly adopted sons, with Christ as our senior brother, acting as a intermediary. Yes, there's so much for which we have to be thankful. God bless all who read and obey God's Word. |

205 | is the seed non-human? | Dan 2:43 | Rowdy | 133552 | ||
You ask/pose some very tough questions, none of which I can answer with any high degree of confidence. I can only notice from history that God is incredibly patient and if the vast majority of "the whole world thinks only wickedness all the time" like it was in Noah's time, it might be close to the end of the world. But I don't think the world is quite that bad and another thing: I'm convinced as long as they are a substantial number of people looking for the Lord's second coming like we have in today's world, IMO I think that's another reason we're NOT close to the end of the world. As I'm sure you know very well, the Lord promised us His second coming would be like a thief in the night and NO ONE expects a thief in the night. So, with these two solid factors to consider, I think the Lord MIGHT let us live/exist for a little while longer. In answer to your other question, I just simply don't have a clue. If a person is alive as a result of being cloned, does He have a soul or not? I'd like to think so. I guess it'll depend on whether or not he has an innate conscience telling him right from wrong. We'll just have to wait and see and then there's the matter in the legal court system. Will the courts grant him full legal citizenship and voting rights and everything else a natural born person expects from this life? Yes, some very tough questions for us and our descendents to deal with. Lord, help us make the decisions you would endorse as being Your Will. God bless us all during this trial. Rowdy |

206 | is the seed non-human? | Dan 2:43 | Rowdy | 133570 | ||
Matt 24 is a very controversial chapter as Christ is talking about two different major events. This subject has been discussed to great lengths here on the Forum and just in case you need to know you can insert key words like "end times" in the Quick Search to retrieve those posts for your reading pleasure. Briefly, my belief along with many millions of christians from around the world is that Jesus was talking about the ultimate ending of the world and its disintegration as depicted by Peter. This was what I was referring to with the reference to the thief at night. The second major event as discussed by Jesus in this chapter is the pending doom and destruction of the Israelite nation as God's favored family. I suppose you already know on or about 70 AD, the Roman army completely destroyed the Temple, to the point they even melted the gold from between the column joints supporting that structure. They completely destroyed ALL the records of the Jewish family so that no one to this day can trace his roots back to Moses as required by Jewish custom to prove their nationality. You see, there's no clear scriptures that definitely descibes the rapture or this thousand year reign here on earth. All that is a lot of conjecture on someone's part with a few vauge verses giving very weak support. But in contrast we do know there will always be strife, wars and rumors of wars on this planet as long as it exists. Jesus did tell us that. And as I stated about the ultimate end of the world, no one can possibly know when it will happen. The trumpet could blow the very next second and I'd be as suprised as everyone else. The most important item of learning we all need to know is to be like the 5 wise virgins waiting for the coming of the bridegroom. That much was also clearly communicated from our Lord. Hope this helps and God bless. Rowdy |

207 | Why did God wait to send the Holy Spirit | Joel 2:28 | Rowdy | 113863 | ||
I'll take a shot at answering your questions if I may. First of all, I don't believe the Holy Spirit works in our lives to a miraculous degree, at least not nearly as frequently and to the level of public viewing as He did in the timeframe of the Bible. But I do think he helps us avoid sin by strengthening our conscience and reminding us of what we've studied in God's Word. I've mentioned before in other posts; I believe any miracles in today's world is manifested directly from the Godhead to the recipient here on earth, with no 3rd party human participating other than by prayer. Second point is why Jesus' death ushered in this dispensation with the Holy Spirit involved in this way. I think we need to see God's plan for all of mankind much like we see our children grow and mature. When our children are very young, we start them out by having them pick up their toys and do very simple chores which have to be described in very specific terms, listing each task separately and follow up on them constantly. As these kids grow and mature, they take on more and more responsibilities and learn to do their chores, homework and other tasks that show them to be growing toward ultimate adulthood. Then they're finally out on their own like mine are now and very rarely do they need our advice and counsel. Our God sees His creation in the same way. He wants all mankind to grow up and get away from our addiction to this physcial world and actually learn to prefer thinking about and preparing ourselves for the next, the spiritual world. He's building our home in Heaven with that goal in mind. He started out in the Garden of Eden with a very personal one-on-one relationship with Adam and Eve. We all know where that went and we all do our part of that ruination every day, every hour of lives that we don't live perfectly like Christ Jesus. Next Jesus came to this earth to seek and save the lost, to show us the Way, the Truth and the Life. His Words sum it up best: when we see Christ through faith, we see the Father. Thus we learn instead of getting an "eye for an eye," we are to forgive our enemies and try to lead them to Christ by living an imitation of Christ. Now that Christ was made the perfect sacrifice and provided the perfect redemption plan to go back home to our Father, we must live that living sacrifice till He decides to take us to that home in Heaven. The perfect Assistant in this process is the Holy Spirit. As I've mentioned in other posts, He helped out much more prominently during the first century with miraculous powers bestowed on a select few, the Apostles and those onto whom they laid their hands. His main purpose in doing that was to confirm the fact that the words they spoke and the deeds they performed, the acts of worship they established had His seal of approval. Now that we have the Holy Scriptures, "completely furnished unto every good work," we don't need that close up support of miracles. We have historical documents, credible testimonies and archelogical artifacts proving the truth and the origin of the Bible as coming from the Holy Spirit. Basically in summary, again, our God wants us to graduate from this world of the finite, physical limitations and look forward to a world of the infinite and spiritual where God truly does rule everything. Here in this world, God allows the Devil to rule, at least in the hearts of mankind that don't want God in their lives. But in the next world, the Devil will be reduced to nothing just like all the rest of the world who reject God. So you see, that's why it took so long to send Jesus. God has His own time table; we can't rush it nor can we slow it down. We just say "Yes, Lord, your will be done." By the way, while He wants us to graduate to that next world, He also wants us to wait for His signal that we go; we DON'T get to choose. I hopes this helps. Good questions and God bless. |

208 | Why did God wait to send the Holy Spirit | Joel 2:28 | Rowdy | 114017 | ||
I don't really have any answers to your question. As I've stated in my profile and in some of my posts, I've spent a lifetime in studying God's Word and maybe a little bit of human behavior. Over the years I have noticed some trends in the way God and humans interact now and in the way they acted in the OT. I may have drawn some conclusions but I think they seem to have a "ring of truth." Like I mentioned I don't really have any real answers that neatly address your specific question. Who could possibly fully describe why God does now and why He did things the way He did in the OT. I assume you've already read my previous posts on this subject in which I depicted a number of strange and unusal actions on the part of our Lord. So, the standard cop-out almost anyone gives at this point is to cite the fact that God's thoughts are far, far above ours and we'll just have to wait until Judgment Day to ask God Himself. God bless. |

209 | Yet Another Opinion on Baptism, Part 2 | Amos 1:1 | Rowdy | 131098 | ||
Quoted from your post: Ephesians 1:12-14 That we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ. Eph 1:13 In Whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the Word of Truth, the gospel of your salvation: in Whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, Eph 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory. Scripture supporting my response below: Heb 9:13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, Heb 9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Heb 9:15 For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. Heb 9:16 For where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it. Heb 9:17 For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives. Notice in particular Eph 1:14 and Heb 9:15-17. Don't you see our Lord died and left His Last Will and Testament in which He bequeathed to you, me and everyone in the whole world, past and future an eternal life with God in Heaven IF we meet His qualifications as a receipient. Yes, of course it's a Gift from God but we must accept it and just like in a court of law on Judgment Day, our God and ultimate Judge will be looking for those that have put on His Son's blood in accordance with His Words. How will our Lord and Father distinguish us from other sinners? God's children will have obeyed His and His Son's commands, and those whom He placed in charge when Jesus left this earth. Do continue studying. Remember we'll all be judged by ALL the words of the NT on Judgment Day. Thus we should represent a fully balanced Biblical view on these very important subjects, especially to those who don't know God's Word. Also we'll be held accountable for teaching error and promoting false doctrine. God bless. Rowdy |

210 | Visions through angelic messengers only? | Obad 1:1 | Rowdy | 131100 | ||
Please believe me! I already realize you're probably getting tired of seeing this kind of message and you may be getting tired of seeing responses from me. But I've seen most of your posts and have noticed you do have a rather zealous way about you. This Forum is used by folks with a wide spectrum of education, maturity (both spiritual and physical), and personalities. You have received at least a half dozen warnings and counsels from several reasonably well balanced people of this Forum. So I find myself joining in this resounding chorus. No matter what you may think, "a rose by any other name is still a rose" my friend. And your constant overuse of ALL CAPS in your Forum posts and statements is very definitely shouting. You've already noticed that practically all of us do use an occassional word in all caps to emphasize a point. But this should be use lightly like salt and pepper on food. When it's overdone like as in your posts, the end result is repulsive and is rejected without much adieu. So I would consel you my friend, if you really are serious about trying to win numerous people over to your way of thinking and your opinions, I would refer you to the words of Paul. 1 Cor 9:19 For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; 20and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; 21to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; 22to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23Now this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with you. I do hope you'll take this advice in the same spirit with which it is given...in love. (Not mine, I'm just trying to imitate God's love.) Me? I'm more inclined to dismiss you altogether but my God forgave me and I used to be just like you in my younger days. God bless. Rowdy |

Dear friend, I was sincerely trying to help you but apparently you don't want to heed the wise counsel of the majority on the Forum or even to the words of Paul so I must leave you on your own. I regret loosing you as a reasonable student with whom to spar and sharpen swords. Go in peace my friend. I'll not be responding to any more of your posts on this Forum but I do pray for that God blesses you with wisdom and understanding. Rowdy |

212 | Visions through angelic messengers only? | Obad 1:1 | Rowdy | 131120 | ||

214 | spending and saving money | Matthew | Rowdy | 119536 | ||
Another good scripture on the subject from Paul 1 Tim 6:6 But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment. 7 For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. 8 If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content. 9 But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 11 But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness. Notice money is a root but not the only root. So it's a matter of attitude toward God. Instead of worry about the physical things of this world, Jesus tells us in Matt 6:31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |

215 | Hades shall not overpower the church? | Matthew | Rowdy | 123170 | ||
Apparently God has already created and reserved a special place call Hell for Satan and ALL those who would follow him, including demons and human beings. There's no chance that Satan can win over God in this battle as the he has already lost. The only thing to be decided is who all goes with him. See below. 2 Pet 2:4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment; As for Matt 16:18, I quote here from the "Bible Commentary for clarification although it may be authoritative, it does seem to complement what the rest of the NT says about the matter. Beginning of quote: Jesus promised that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church (assembly). Some have viewed this as the inability of hell to overpower the church and see the church as being on the defensive against Satan. However, the phrase "'shall not prevail" may be understood as meaning, "shall not stand against." The imagery would then picture the church as being on the attack against the gates of hell. Here hell (Gr hades) probably represents the kingdom of Satan, not just death and the grave. While Jesus' resurrection certainly will overcome the sting of death, it will also enable His church to aggressively and offensively attack the gates of hell by snatching out victims from darkness into His glorious kingdom of light. One does not attack with gates; he defends. It is the church which is on the attack here and hell is on the defensive. End of quote. Hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |

216 | i just dont understandthe verse. | Matt 1:1 | Rowdy | 119213 | ||
Cited for reference and context: Matt 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: "Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans; 6 but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 "And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' 8 "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give. 9 "Do not acquire gold, or silver, or copper for your money belts, 10 or a bag for your journey, or even two coats, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is worthy of his support. 11 "And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay at his house until you leave that city. 12 "As you enter the house, give it your greeting. 13 "If the house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if it is not worthy, take back your blessing of peace. 14 "Whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet. 15 "Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city. 16 "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves. 17 "But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the courts and scourge you in their synagogues; 18 and you will even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 "But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say. 20 "For it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you. 21 "Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22 "You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved. This chapter describes what is known as the "Limited Commission." You might say this was God's last ditch effort to try to bring His Israelite children back to repentance of their sins as cited in verses 5 and 6. This also afforded the disciples (future Apostles) with a prelude of experience for the start of the church after Christ wraps up His ministry here on earth. So in verse 21, Jesus warns his disciples that the cost will be high for those few that choose Jesus and His Father instead of continuing their life of sin away from Him. Throughout His ministry, Jesus maintains this kind of talk and makes it plain to all His disciples as in Luke 14:26 "If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple." Hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |

218 | i just dont understandthe verse. | Matt 1:1 | Rowdy | 119405 | ||
I can only add my testimony from my own personal life. As you may know from my profile, I spent several years in the military, including 4 years each in Athens, Greece and in Okinawa, Japan. Christianity is a particularly tough thing to share in the Japanese culture. The main religion in Japan is Shintoism, which is the worship of the Japanese ancestry. Family is incredibly important to these folks as you may have heard, and that's a good thing...to a point. It's far more important than most Americans dare to imagine. It consumes them because it forms the basis for their religion. When the Japanese die, they look forward to their descendents taking care of them in a spiritual sense thereafter. Their bodies are buried in the family tomb, then years later, their family dig up the bones left behind and put them into a smaller place within that tomb. (I guess you know land, space and room is an extreme commodity of high value in Japan.) Anyway, every year the Japanese celebrate the holiday of Obon and every family prepares a large plate of food items and take it out to the family tomb for homage and "feeding" the spirits of their ancestors. A week after leaving this food out there, they retrieve the plate of food with obvious signs of nibbling which in their minds is proof of their ancestors' spirits and their consumption of this food. Now comes the tough part. Most Japanese can accept the idea of adding to their pantheon of gods and will gladly "add" Jesus and His Father. BUT when you mention that this ADDING is NOT to be done in accordance with God's word but Jesus and His Father must TAKE the place of and be in total dominance, that's when the older family members are totally incensed and literally disown the younger family members for this disecretion. As you can imagine, over the past few decades, christianity has been making some progress and some inroads into the Japanese culture but again it is very, very tough and at TREMENDOUS cost to those poor folks. They literally give up everything that's precious to them with reference to anything that's represented by the family relationship. So consequently, the growth of christianity in these countries with this kind of mentality (as in Muslim countries) is very slow. We have SO VERY much for which to be grateful in this country. Now let's pray we can keep this country this way for our kids and their kids. God bless. --Rowdy |

219 | Why did Satan disrespect Jesus? | Matt 4:3 | Rowdy | 118368 | ||
Couldn't help but noticing your statement "The spirit of debate is not of God" and had to say that I disagree. Although some of us men and women might not enjoy a debate, I think our Lord does as shown below: Gen 18:16 When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. 17 Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? 18 Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. 19 For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." 20 Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous 21 that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know." 22 The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD. 23 Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24 What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? 25 Far be it from you to do such a thing-to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?" 26 The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." 27 Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, 28 what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it." 29 Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." 30 Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." 31 Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." 32 Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." 33 When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. You see, the Lord already knew Sodom and Gomorrah would be destroyed because he already knew only 3 would be saved and their behavior afterwards makes one wonder about their relationship with God. But back to the subject at hand; the Lord was giving Abraham an opportunity to show his love for mankind and debate/negotiate for the saving of these cities. When the debate brings out God's Word and His glory is manifested, I think we do service to His cause. His Kingdom is built up and we're all encouraged to study His Word all the more. I agree that God DOESN'T like to see us debate on the petty things in the Bible like the few minor discrepancies between MEN'S translations but we should also be thankful He's a forgiving and very merciful God as shown throughout the Bible. Just had to toss in my two cents' worth. You say I got some change coming back. Yeah, that's about right. God bless. --Rowdy |
