3802 | If all sacrafices ended, then why Acts 2 | Heb 9:1 | kalos | 152337 | ||
After the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, is there any biblical record of Paul or any other apostle making a BLOOD sacrifice? Is there a clear verse of NT Scripture that says that they did? This is a direct question. It needs only a simple yes or no for an answer, along with supporting Scripture. |

I'm talking to you. Seventy percent of YOUR Notes (19 out of 27) contain no scriptural references or quotes. This is not opinion. It can be proved or disproved merely by checking it out for yourself and doing the math. | ||||||
3804 | Was the temple curtain repaired? | Heb 9:1 | kalos | 152389 | ||
Prayon: They (the Jewish religious leaders) tried to hide the fact of the resurrection of Christ. Why wouldn't they try to hide the fact that something else happened? From reading the Torah (Pentateuch), what would lead anyone to believe that once damaged the veil of the temple would be allowed to remain in disrepair? Grace to you, Kalos |

Hebrews 9:12 (New World Translation) "he entered, no, not with the blood of goats and of young bulls, but with his own blood, once for all time into the holy place and obtained an everlasting deliverance [for us]."

3806 | a GENERAL RULE for all mankind | Heb 9:27 | kalos | 176839 | ||
a GENERAL RULE for all mankind ____________________ '*to die once*. This is a general rule for all mankind. There have been very rare EXCEPTIONS...' ____________________ And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, (NASB Hebrews 9:27) In his Study Bible, John MacArthur comments on Heb. 9:27: '*to die once*. This is a general rule for all mankind. There have been very rare EXCEPTIONS (e.g., Lazarus and the multitude who were resuscitated at Christ's resurrection died twice; compare John 11:43, 44; Matt. 27:51-53). Those, like Lazarus, who were raised from the dead by a miraculous act of our Lord were not resurrected to a glorified body and unending life. They only experienced resuscitation. 'Another exception will be those who don't die even once, but who will be "caught up...to meet the Lord in the air" (1 Thess. 4:17; compare Enoch, Gen. 5:24; Elijah, 2 Kin. 2:11).' (Emphasis added.) |

3807 | Can a man die more than once. | Heb 9:27 | kalos | 176931 | ||
If what you say is true – that every man dies once and only once – then what about those who, like Lazarus, were raised from the dead by a miraculous act of our Lord? And what about those who don't die even once, but who will be "caught up...to meet the Lord in the air" (1 Thess. 4:17; compare Enoch, Gen. 5:24; Elijah, 2 Kin. 2:11)? |

“Help won't come from the dictionary.” 'Never Read a Bible Verse' by Gregory Koukl (Source: www.str.org) ____________________ “Help won't come from the dictionary. Dictionaries only complicate the issue, giving us more choices, not fewer. Help must come from somewhere else close by: the surrounding paragraph.” ____________________ 'If there was one bit of wisdom, one rule of thumb, one single skill I could impart, one useful tip I could leave that would serve you well the rest of your life, what would it be? What is the single most important practical skill I've ever learned as a Christian? 'Here it is: NEVER READ A BIBLE VERSE. That's right, never read a Bible verse. Instead, always read a paragraph -- at least… 'When I'm on the radio, I use this simple rule to help me answer the majority of Bible questions I'm asked, even when I'm totally unfamiliar with the verse. It's an amazingly effective technique you can use, too. 'I read the [Bible] paragraph, not just the verse. I take stock of the relevant material above and below. Since the context frames the verse and gives it specific meaning, I let it tell me what's going on. 'This works because of a basic rule of all communication: Meaning always flows from the top down, from the larger units to the smaller units, not the other way around. The key to the meaning of any verse comes from the paragraph, NOT JUST FROM THE INDIVIDUAL WORDS. 'The numbers in front of the sentences give the illusion the verses stand alone in their meaning. They were not in the originals, though. Numbers were added hundreds of years later. Chapter and verse breaks sometimes pop up in unfortunate places, separating relevant material that should be grouped together. ____________________ “Words have different meanings in different contexts (that's what makes puns work). When we consider a verse in isolation, one meaning may occur to us. But how do we know it's the right one?” ____________________ 'First, ignore the verse numbers and try to get the big picture. Then begin to narrow your focus. It's not very hard or time consuming. It takes only a few moments and a little observation of the text. 'Begin with the broad context of the book. What type of literature is it: history, poetry, proverb? What is the passage about in general? What idea is being developed? 'Stand back from the verse and look for breaks in the narrative that identify major units of thought. Ask, "What in this paragraph or group of paragraphs gives any clue to the meaning of the verse?" 'There's a reason this little exercise is so important. Words have different meanings in different contexts (that's what makes puns work). When we consider a verse in isolation, one meaning may occur to us. But how do we know it's the right one? Help won't come from the dictionary. Dictionaries only complicate the issue, giving us more choices, not fewer. Help must come from somewhere else close by: the surrounding paragraph. 'With the larger context now in view, you can narrow your focus and speculate on the meaning of the verse itself. Sum it up in your own words. 'Finally, and this is critical, see if your paraphrase makes sense when inserted in the passage. Does it dovetail naturally with the bigger picture? (...) 'Daily Bread? 'This raises legitimate questions about daily devotionals that build a short message from a single verse. In my view, such quiet-time helps can be inspirational, but they come with an obvious drawback. 'Fortunately, the liability can be overcome by remembering our basic rule: NEVER READ A BIBLE VERSE. Instead, read a paragraph, at least. Always check the context. Observe the flow of thought. Then focus on the verse. 'Remember, meaning always flows from the top down, from the larger units to the smaller units. A reflection on a Bible passage from a sermon or a devotional may be edifying, encouraging, and uplifting. If it is not the message of the text, though, it lacks biblical authority even when the quote comes right out of the Word of God. 'If you will do this one thing -- if you will read carefully in the context applying the paraphrase principle -- you will begin to understand the Bible as God intended. Without the bigger picture you'll be lost. 'Only when you are properly informed by God's Word -- the way it is written in its context -- can you be transformed by it. Every piece becomes powerful when it's working together with the whole. 'It's the most important practical lesson I've ever learned…and the single most important thing I could ever teach you.' ____________________ Source: Never Read a Bible Verse By Gregory Koukl (Emphasis added.)

3810 | An offering for sins is no longer needed | Heb 10:18 | kalos | 152512 | ||
An offering for sins is no longer needed AMPLIFIED Hebrews 10:18 Now where there is absolute remission (forgiveness and cancellation of the penalty) of these [sins and lawbreaking], there is no longer any offering made to atone for sin. Hebrews 10:15-18 'Having God's Torah written in one's heart and mind necessarily implies that God has forgiven one's sins, so that "an offering for sins is no longer needed." Therefore the readers of this sermon should free themselves from their compulsion to offer animal sacrifices as sin offerings and instead be fully assured of the sufficiency of Yeshua's (Jesus') sacrifice of himself on their behalf. We moderns have no such compulsion, but we too should be convinced of the necessity of blood sacrifice for sin while having assurance that Yeshua's blood sacrifice fulfills that requirement. With this, the author's major argument is completed. 'But the author is very specific in limiting what he says. "An offering for sins is no longer needed" and is ruled out. But the other sacrificial offerings remain part of God's order even after Yeshua's death, as proved by Sha'ul's (Paul's) activity in the Temple at Acts 24:17. With the destruction of the Temple, sacrificial offerings became impossible; but if the Temple is rebuilt, thank offerings, meal offerings, and praise offerings may be offered once again. The author of this letter [to the Hebrews] does not proclaim the end of the sacrificial system in its entirety, only the end of animal sacrifices for sins.' ____________________ (Jewish New Testament Commentary, David H.

3811 | Can we worship outside of our community? | Heb 10:25 | kalos | 29746 | ||
EdB: I, too, prefer to attend a church near my home. While I see no Biblical prohibition against travelling to attend a church, I think a local church is more practical and for all the reasons you have cited. Yet I do not legislate what others "should" do. Also, there are many factors to be considered in choosing a church. Local conditions may be such that a church near one's home is out of the question for a particular family. Yet, all things being equal, I would choose the church near my home. Grace to you, brother. kalos |

3812 | Do you have to go to church and on sun.? | Heb 10:25 | kalos | 57732 | ||
We are dazzled by the brilliance of your answer, but... One person alone (singular) is NOT the church. The church is corporate. The church is the body of believers (plural). Playing word games will not change the truth of the Word. Moreover Hebrews 10:25 does NOT say: not forsaking going to church. What it does say is: "not forsaking our own assembling together." Therefore, to bring the word "church" into the argument is to confuse the issue. On the other hand, on Sunday or Wednesday or whenever the local assembly meets, it normally meets at the church building. It does not meet weekly at the golf course, the lake, or the ballgame. |

3813 | Is church membership required? | Heb 10:25 | kalos | 57734 | ||
Hebrews 10:25 is talking about neither joining a denomination nor church membership. What is SAYS in plain English is: "Not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together [as believers]," (Amplified Bible). |

3814 | Is church membership required? | Heb 10:25 | kalos | 57771 | ||
Define "church". If you define church to mean that "25 believers will gather in [your] house sunday noon for a meal in His name," then the answer is: "Yes, that is church." If not, we need to define church before we can determine whether your example is church. For starters, a building is not the church. A building is where the church meets. |

Just for future reference YOUR statement came off a little rude -- and offensive: "I think physical Church membership is ridiculous." "Just not Church membership, that is decided by God and the person he is dealing with. This is a mindset that must be destroyed." A mindset that must be DESTROYED? Rude and offensive. "God desires accuracy..." I agree. When did you plan to start? |

Why should I attend church? 'The New Testament repeatedly emphasizes the importance of local assemblies. In fact, it was the pattern of Paul's ministry to establish local congregations in the cities where he preached the gospel. Hebrews 10:24-25 commands every believer to be a part of such a local body and reveals why this is necessary. '"And let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more, as you see the day drawing near" (Hebrews 10:24-25). 'It is only in the local body to which one is committed that there can be the level of intimacy that is required for carefully stimulating fellow-believers "to love and good deeds." And it is only in this setting that we can encourage one another. 'The New Testament also teaches that every believer is to be under the protection and nurture of the leadership of the local church. These godly men can shepherd the believer by encouraging, admonishing, and teaching. Hebrews 13:7 and 17 help us to understand that God has graciously granted accountability to us through godly leadership. 'Furthermore, when Paul gave Timothy special instructions about the public meetings, he said "Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching" (1 Timothy 4:13). Part of the emphasis in public worship includes these three things: hearing the Word, being called to obedience and action through exhortation, and teaching. It is only in the context of the local assembly that these things can most effectively take place. 'Acts 2:42 shows us what the early church did when they met together: "They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." They learned God's Word and the implications of it in their lives; they joined to carry out acts of love and service to one another; they commemorated the Lord's death and resurrection through the breaking of bread; and they prayed. Of course, we can do these things individually, but God has called us into His body-the church is the local representation of that worldwide-body-and we should gladly minister and be ministered to among God's people. 'Active local church membership is imperative to living a life without compromise. It is only through the ministry of the local church that a believer can receive the kind of teaching, accountability, and encouragement that is necessary for him to stand firm in his convictions. God has ordained that the church provide the kind of environment where an uncompromising life can thrive.'

Question: Is Man qualified to accept people into the body of Christ? Short answer: No. AMPLIFIED 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by [means of the personal agency of] one [Holy] Spirit we were all, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, baptized [and by baptism united together] into one body, and all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit. |

3820 | Church membership scriptural? | Heb 10:25 | kalos | 169312 | ||
It's pretty much standard policy that a given church (whether a denomination or a local church) prefers that those who minister belong to their church. For example, my church wouldn't normally appoint as pastors those whose only ordination is with another denomination. Seems reasonable to me. |
