Romans 4:3 (NASB) For what does the Scripture say? "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS." "No no no. Romans 4. Go read it. Abraham was decalred righteous not because of the good things he had done, but rather his faith in God's promise to Him." Joe: Yes. Yes. Yes. You are absolutely correct. "Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness." Romans 4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. "Cf. (compare) James 2:24. These are two aspects of one truth. Paul speaks of that which justifies man before God, viz.: faith alone, wholly apart from works; James of the proof before men, that he who professes to have justifying faith really has it. Paul speaks of what God sees--faith; James of what men see--works, as the visible evidence of faith. Paul draws his illustration from Genesis 15:6; James from Genesis 22:1-19. James' key phrase is "ye see" (James 2:24), for men cannot see faith except as manifested through works." Scofield, C.I. "Scofield Reference Notes on Romans 4".

762 | "Once Saved Always Saved" | NT general Archive 1 | kalos | 24798 | ||
You assert that "once saved always saved is not true." You then go on to say, "Oh yes, make no mistake, it is always there, ready, waiting, and available once you come back. But when you walk away and go back into the world, it is not longer yours until you go back and pick it back up again." Yet you offer not one verse of Scripture to back up your assertions. Anyone can assert anything, but that alone doesn't make it true. Where is your Scriptural support? Using the concordance feature at (http://bible.crosswalk.com/OnlineStudyBible/) I made an interesting discovery. This is what I found when I looked for the words lose and salvation in the same verse; and also when I looked for the words lost and salvation in the same verse. King James Version "Your search query for 'lose salvation' did not return any results. Please modify your search query and try again." "Your search query for 'lost salvation' did not return any results. Please modify your search query and try again." Please note: the information above is NOT MY OPINION of anything. These are objective, verifiable FACTS. There is no place in the King James Bible in which the words lose and salvation or lost and salvation occur in the same verse. It just isn't there. |

Hank: Isn't it interesting that people who believe you can fall from grace and lose your salvation also believe that you can get it back? As you said, see Hebrews 6:4-6? I've never heard of being born again *again*. Have you? The other thing that puzzles me is, if I do a search using a concordance and then directly quote the search results, how is that silly? kalos |

Hank: I believe the most popular and vacuous reply to an argument is "You took that out of context." There are times when this is a valid point. But many other times it is not valid and is merely a cliche one-size-fits-none comeback. kalos |

Nolan: If I had a salvation that, every night when you went to bed, you had to worry whether you would still be saved when you got up the next morning, I'm not so sure I would want it back. This I would admit: *IF* my salvation depended on God and me, then I might mess up and lose it. Fortunately, "Salvation is of the Lord" (Jonah 2:9). There is not one thing you can do to earn, keep or add to your salvation. God does the saving and God does the keeping. kalos |

(I need to preface my remarks by stating loudly and clearly that, even though Ray and I disagree when it comes to capitalization, I have nothing but the highest regard for Ray. He is a dear Christian brother whom I greatly appreciate.) "Some religious literature chooses to capitalize pronouns that refer to the deity. As in the original languages, GOD'S WORD does not capitalize any pronouns (unless they begin sentences). In some cases scholars are uncertain whether pronouns in the original texts refer to God or someone else. In these cases the presence of capitalized pronouns would be misleading.". (p. xiii, GOD'S WORD, Grand Rapids: World Publishing, 1995) Let's take a look at the main points in the above quotation. 1) Some religious literature chooses to capitalize pronouns that refer to the Deity. Some do not. In the introduction to many Bible versions the translators will discuss why they did or did not choose to capitalize. 2) The Scriptures "in the original languages" do not capitalize any pronouns. If the original manuscripts did not capitalize pronouns, then WHY does anyone today feel that pronouns referring to the Deity MUST be capitalized? 3) "In some cases scholars are uncertain whether pronouns in the original texts refer to God or someone else." If SCHOLARS -- those who have learned Hebrew and Greek and have studied the Bible IN THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGES -- if they are in some cases uncertain, then I would have a problem with the rest of us taking a red pencil and going merrily through the Bible, capitalizing as the mood struck us? 4) "In these cases the PRESENCE of capitalized pronouns would be misleading." If, on the other hand, the ABSENCE of capitalized pronouns is misleading, then blame God. For that is how the Bible was written in the original languages. The argument that the original manuscripts (as well as certain English translations including, but not limited to, the King James) are somehow misleading sounds to me like criticism of the divine author of the book. |

771 | Judas went to hell? | NT general Archive 1 | kalos | 27777 | ||
That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. Acts 1:25 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. John 17:12. In this verse Judas is called the son of perdition. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2 Thess 2:3. In this verse the anti-Christ is called the son of perdition. Do you still think Judas, "the son of perdition" who went to "his own place," went to heaven? If so, can you give us a clear verse of Scripture that indicates that Judas went to heaven? |

Repost......................... Acts 1:25 (ASV 1901) "to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place." "1:25 *his own place." Judas chose his own fate of hell by rejecting Christ. It is not unfair to say that Judas and all others who go to hell belong there (compare John 6:70) |

John Gill's Exposition of the Bible NASB Acts 1:25 "to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." AMPLIFIED Acts 1:25 To take the place in this ministry and receive the position of an apostle, from which Judas fell away and went astray to go [where he belonged] to his own [proper] place. "Judas chose his own fate of hell by rejecting Christ. It is not unfair to say that Judas and all others who go to hell belong there (compare John 6:70)" (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). John Gill's Exposition of the Bible Acts 1:25 that he might go to his own place; which may be understood of Judas, and of his going to hell, as the just punishment of his sin; which is commonly so called by the Jews, who often explain this phrase, "his place", by hell; as when it is said of Laban, (Genesis 31:55) that he "returned to his place", it intimates, say they, that he returned to his place, which was prepared for him in hell; and so likewise when it is said of Balaam, (Numbers 24:25) that he "returned to his place", they observe, that "he did not return from his evil way, but returned to his place; and so intimates by saying, to his place, that which was prepared for him in hell, as the Rabbins of blessed memory say; "they came everyone from his own place", (Job 2:11) a man from his house, a man from his country it is not written, but a man from his place, which was prepared for him in hell; and because they came to show mercy to Job, they were delivered from hell, and became worthy of the world to come; and so here, and "he returned to his place", (Mnyhgb wl Nkwmh) , "which was prepared for him in hell"." And another of their writers, on the same passage, has this remark, and he returned to his place, and he does not say, "he went on his way, for he was driven out of his way, and went down to hell." |

Matthew Henry NASB Acts 1:25 "to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." AMPLIFIED Acts 1:25 To take the place in this ministry and receive the position of an apostle, from which Judas fell away and went astray to go [where he belonged] to his own [proper] place. "25. that he might go to his own place--A euphemistic or softened expression of the awful future of the traitor" (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/JamiesonFaussetBrown). "from which Judas by transgression fell, threw himself, by deserting and betraying his Master, from the place of an apostle, of which he was unworthy, that he might go to his own place, the place of a traitor, the fittest place for him, not only to the gibbet, but to hell—this was his own place. "Note, Those that betray Christ, as they fall from the dignity of relation to him, so they fall into all misery. It is said of Balaam (Num. 24:25) that he went to his own place, that is, says one of the rabbin, he went to hell. "Dr. Whitby quotes Ignatius saying, There is appointed to every man idios topos — a proper place, which imports the same with that of God’s rendering to every man according to his works. And our Saviour had said that Judas’s own place should be such that it had been better for him that he had never been born (Mt. 26:24)—his misery such as to be worse than not being. "Judas had been a hypocrite, and hell is the proper place of such; other sinners, as inmates, have their portion with them, Mt. 24:51.

A bold and picturesque description of the destiny of Judas worthy of Dante's Inferno. There is no doubt in Peter's mind of the destiny of Judas nor of his own guilt. He made ready his own berth and went to it."

(http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/WesleysExplanatoryNotes/) ************* Easton's Bible Dictionary 'He perished in his guilt, and "went unto his own place" (Acts 1:25 ).' (http://www.biblestudytools.net/Dictionaries/EastonBibleDictionary/) ************* Smith's Bible Dictionary Ju’das Iscar’iot The end of Judas. -- (1) Judas, when he saw the results of his betrayal, "repented himself." (Matthew 27:3-10) He saw his sin in a new light, and "his conscience bounded into fury." (2) He made ineffectual struggles to escape, by attempting to return the reward to the Pharisees, and when they would not receive it, he cast it down at their feet and left it. (Matthew 27:5) But, (a) restitution of the silver did not undo the wrong; (b) it was restored in a wrong spirit, --a desire for relief rather than hatred of sin; (c) he confessed to the wrong party, or rather to those who should have been secondary, and who could not grand forgiveness; (d) "compunction is not conversion." (3) The money was used to buy a burial-field for poor strangers. (Matthew 27:6-10) (4) Judas himself, in his despair, went out and hanged himself, (Matthew 27:5) at Aceldama, on the southern slope of the valley of Hinnom, near Jerusalem, and in the act he fell down a precipice and was dashed into pieces. (Acts 1:18) "And he went to his own place." (Acts 1:25 ) "A guilty conscience must find neither hell or pardon." (5) Judas’ repentance may be compared to that of Esau. (Genesis 27:32-38; Hebrews 12:16,17) It is contrasted with that of Peter. Judas proved his repentance to be false by immediately committing another sin, suicide. Peter proved his to be true by serving the Lord faithfully ever after. --ED.) (http://www.biblestudytools.net/Dictionaries/SmithsBibleDictionary/) |

ArtS: Short answer: The events described in Revelation chapters 6-19 parallel the events of Matthew 24. I.e., the events of both are concurrent.

779 | What is your opinion of interpretation? | NT general Archive 1 | kalos | 30772 | ||
You write regarding "other more focused commentators": "Their work is the result of the Holy Spirit talking to them." That is quite true and I agree with you. And it is normally true that, if they are the real thing, their understanding is also the result of years and years of diligently studying the Scriptures, including the original languages, as well as the geographical, cultural, and historical background of Bible times, places and peoples. I hasten to add: I fully agree with you, we must never substitute anyone's commentary for the very words of Scripture. Christian Marine, welcome aboard! I would say I'm a Christian ex-Marine, but there is no such thing as an "ex"-Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine. Grace to you, kalos |

780 | WHICH COMES FIRST, THE RAPTURE OR TRIBUL | NT general Archive 1 | kalos | 31152 | ||
RAPTURE, THE The Last Day "Christ's gathering together, the deliverance of, and rescue of the true living church (by His angelic "reapers") to Himself in the clouds at His second coming (parousia), an event that occurs on the last day when the day of the Lord commences, between the sixth seal (the sign of the end of the age ) and the seventh seal (the day of the Lord). The Rapture cannot occur until sometime during the second half of the seventieth week , when God cuts short the great tribulation by Antichrist . "But of that [exact] day and hour no one knows."
