Does Matt 24:13 conflict with free grace salvation and the believer’s security? ____________________ "This does not refer to a personal self-effort at endurance that results in one’s eternal salvation..." ____________________ Answer: “But the one who endures to the end, he shall be saved” (Matt 24:13). 'The word “saved” must always be understood in its context. Saved from what and by what means? “Saved” is the Greek sozo which may refer to any kind of deliverance and should often be simply translated “delivered.” It can refer to physical deliverance or to some kind of spiritual deliverance, but the context is the determining factor. In point of fact, this passage is speaking about physical deliverance or the survival of those who last through the judgments of the tribulation. Note the comments below from the Bible Knowledge Commentary. '24:9-14 (Mark 13:9-13; Luke 21:12-19). Jesus began His words (Matt. 24:9) with a time word, Then. At the middle point of the seven-year period preceding Christ’s second coming, great distress will begin to be experienced by Israel. The Antichrist, who will have risen to power in the world and will have made a protective treaty with Israel, will break his agreement at that time (Dan. 9:27). He will bring great persecution on Israel (Dan. 7:25) and even establish his own center of worship in the temple in Jerusalem (2 Thes. 2:3-4). This will result in the death of many Jews (Matt. 24:9) and many people departing from the faith. Believing Jews will be betrayed by nonbelievers (v. 10), and many will be deceived by rising false prophets (cf. v. 5; Rev. 13:11-15). Wickedness will increase, causing the love of most people (for the Lord) to grow cold. 'Those who are believers and who survive until the end of that period of time will be saved, that is, delivered (Matt. 24:13). This does not refer to a personal self-effort at endurance that results in one’s eternal salvation, but to physical deliverance of those who trust in the Savior during the Tribulation. The endurance, then, is physical survival. While many will be martyred, a few will make it to the end. Those who endure through the awful events of the Tribulation will be alive or delivered by Messiah when he returns to earth. This is not a reference to eternal salvation from sin, but rather the deliverance of survivors at the end of the Tribulation as stated in Romans 11:26 where the Deliverer will save the nation Israel from its persecutors. Many will not endure to the end in that they will be martyred for their faith as described in Revelation 7:9-17.' ____________________ www.bible.org |

3783 | What translation do you prefer and why? | Heb 6:6 | kalos | 180985 | ||
From the following sampling of translations it can be seen that some English versions (some older and some newer) use the word "if" (as in "if they fall away") and some don't. Hebrews 6:6 The Amplified Bible If they then deviate from the faith and turn away from their allegiance--[it is impossible] to bring them back to repentance, for (because, while, as long as) they nail upon the cross the Son of God afresh [as far as they are concerned] and are holding [Him] up to contempt and shame and public disgrace. The Holy Bible, New International Version® if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. The American Standard Version and [then] fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. The New King James Version if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame. The Revised Standard Version if they then commit apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt. Young's Literal Translation and having fallen away, again to renew [them] to reformation, having crucified again to themselves the Son of God, and exposed to public shame. The Geneva Bible (1587) If they fal away, should be renued againe by repentance: seeing they crucifie againe to themselues the Sonne of God, and make a mocke of him. Holman Christian Standard Bible® and who have fallen away, because, to their own harm, they are recrucifying the Son of God and holding Him up to contempt. Holy Bible, English Standard Version if they then fall away, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt. J.P. Green's Literal Translation and having fallen away, it is impossible for them again to renew to repentance, crucifying again for themselves the Son of God, and putting Him to open shame. |

Most amazing is the idea that the translators of the Geneva Bible (1587) were in a conspiracy that involved the King James Version (1611), which didn't even exist at the time of the publication of the Geneva Bible. The Geneva Bible (1587) If they fal away, should be renued againe by repentance: seeing they crucifie againe to themselues the Sonne of God, and make a mocke of him. |

So what are we going to do now, play dueling versions? One pre-KJV version uses the word "if". Another does not. And from that you draw what conclusion? | ||||||

Doc and Tim, When I was a kid in grade school, from browsing through it, I thought every verse in the Bible began with the word "And", as in "And it came to pass." I really did think that. Grace to you, John |

3789 | A change of the law | Heb 7:12 | kalos | 22061 | ||
For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law. (Hebrews 7:12, NKJV) For when the priesthood is changed, there also has to be a change in the law. (Hebrews 7:12, TEV) "Since Christ is the Christian's High-Priest and He was of the tribe of Judah, not Levi (compare Matt 2:1,6; Rev 5:5), His priesthood is clearly beyond the law which was the authority for the Levitical priesthood (compare Heb 7:11). This is proof that the Mosaic law had been abrogated [abolished by authoritative action, annulled, nullified]. The Levitical system was replaced by a new Priest, offering a new sacrifice, under a New Covenant. He abrogated the law by fulfilling it (compare Matt 5:17) and providing the perfection which the law could never accomplish (compare Matt 5:20)" (page 1907, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). |

Mommapbs: You write: "Please refer to Hebrews 5:7-11. Jesus's priesthood was NOT of the Levitical order but of the order of Melchizedek." That's what I said, only in different words: "Christ is the Christian's High-Priest and He was of the tribe of Judah, not Levi. His priesthood is clearly beyond the law which was the authority for the Levitical priesthood." "of the order of Melchizedek." I quoted from the 7th chapter of Hebrews. A careful reading of the chapter I quoted will show that Melchizedek and the Melchizedek priesthood is exactly what is being discussed in this chapter. You write: "The administration of the priesthood changed. It follows that a new administration will also have a different or changed character. We are *under a new covenant* called grace, not the old covenant called the Law;" That's what I said: "The Levitical system was replaced by a new Priest, offering a new sacrifice, *under a New Covenant*." |

Maybe the infinite God's idea of what is fair is different than yours or mine. Again, please, WHERE IN THE BIBLE does it say that God is FAIR? What we know is that God is JUST. His justice is perfect and He always acts in harmony with his own justice. God is not being unjust when anyone ends up in hell. It is only because of His mercy and grace that anyone is ever saved. | ||||||

Tim: Thank you for clarifying the difference between the words "fair" and "just". I should have gone further in explaining what I meant. I wrongly assumed that the meaning of my Note was so obvious that even someone with one or more college degrees could get it. As a pastor friend of mine once said to me, "If you present the scriptures and other facts and merely leave people to draw their own conclusions, their conclusions will usually be wrong." How true! If I didn't know that after years of teaching adult Sunday School classes, I know it now, after 4 years on the Forum.

Aixen: Your apology is accepted, but not necessary. :-) I never thought that God was unfair. My point, which I failed to make clear, was and is that the Bible doesn't apply the term "fair" to God. The word the Bible uses is "just." I think Tim explained what I meant better than I did. :-) Grace to you, Kalos |

3794 | "AND I WILL WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS" | Heb 8:10 | kalos | 111814 | ||
"AND I WILL WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS" "It takes unacceptable theological legerdemain to conclude that when God writes the Torah (law) on hearts he changes it into something other than the Torah" (Restoring the Jewishness of the Gospel, David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1988)! NASB Hebrews 8:10 "FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MINDS, AND I WILL WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS. AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. |

3796 | Why did God give ten commandments? | Heb 8:13 | kalos | 135428 | ||
Reighnskye: You ask: "And if we strive to keep the Ten Commandments today, then shouldn't we also strive to enforce the penalties for breaking them on others?" My question for you is: Where does New Testament Scripture give the church the authority to enforce the penalties for breaking the Ten Commandments? Surely you are not suggesting that the local church should stone offenders or put them to death in other ways, are you? Grace to you, Kalos |

3797 | Why did God give ten commandments? | Heb 8:13 | kalos | 135437 | ||

Exodus 20:2 (ESV) "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery." What nation did God bring out of slavery in Egypt? Israel. |

3799 | Why did God give ten commandments? | Heb 8:13 | kalos | 135459 | ||
You ask: "shouldn't I strive to keep the Law of Moses today?" Yes, we should strive to KEEP the commandments, but no one has authorized us to ENFORCE the keeping of the commandments by others. In Matthew 5:17-19 (ESV) Jesus said: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. [18] For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. [19] Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." According to Jesus, we should do them and teach them. Nevertheless, the church has no authority to enforce the death penalty when the law is broken. Our concern as individual believers should be to keep the commandments ourselves and not to act as judge, jury and policeman, going around punishing lawbreakers. James 4:11-12 (ESV) Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. [12] There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor? |
