581 | Is this the authority to forgive sins? | Matt 9:7 | srbaegon | 210286 | ||
Hello glenaglena, This was flagged as a note rather than a question, so it was almost missed. This passage demonstrates that Jesus had the authority to forgive sins. He demonstrated that authority by performing a miracle that all could see. Steve |

582 | Are you refering to the thief ? | Matt 10:1 | srbaegon | 54012 | ||
Hello McGracer I've been enjoying your input on the torum. Welcome. Your comment: "The thief on the cross WAS under the Old Covenant for Hebrews makes it clear that the New Covenant did not go into effect UNTIL Christ shed His blood - Heb 9:17." Wouldn't that mean the thief was under the new covenant? The Lord died first. The legs of the others had to be broken to speed their deaths. John 19:32-33 (ESV) So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him. [33] But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. Steve |

583 | Once saved, aways saved doctrine refuted | Matt 10:1 | srbaegon | 54097 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth Let's look at the parable--one sower, one type of seed, four soils. 1. Hard soil--the person just doesn't understand what is being said. 2. Rocky soil--understands and receives the seed but it never takes root. 3. Thorny soil--understands and receives the seed but it never bears fruit. 4. Good soil--understands and receives the seed and bears fruit. What are their conditions? 1. Never got it. Can't be a believer. 2. Never took root. Can't be a believer. 3. Grew and was unfruitful. Possibly a believer. 4. Grew and was fruitful. Definitely a believer. I say "possibly" for #3, but from an agricultural viewpoint, the only one that matters is #4. That one is the only soil that produced anything. That being the case, the other three conditions never could have had life (i.e. were never believers). Steve |

Hello Grace and Truth "Either this person is in or out, there is no middle ground. If in, Jesus said this person is now lost forever. true or false?" True. He was never a believer. See the summary of my last posting. "Is this true from your experience?" I only know one such case. I know the father of the man, and he has related the story to me. He believes his son was never saved. Steve |

586 | Was James the son Alpaheus Jesus brother | Matt 10:3 | srbaegon | 48030 | ||
Hello jawz I can admit to different views. Sometimes I can even admit the other views are of equal value to the ones I hold. I can even admit that your conclusion of three women in John 19:25 is as valid as my conclusion that there are four women. I simply cannot agree with your position of the perpetual virginity of Mary.

587 | Reincarnation, Who will be saved ? | Matt 10:16 | srbaegon | 61261 | ||
Hello MYR Sir Pent was being cautious. We have had many come to this Forum seeking to destroy. We will be happy to answer any honest questions. Now to those questions: "1. Is there any mention of reincarnation in the Original Bible ? My readings tell me that there was and it was removed from the bible so that Christians believe in one life and one Judgement." Your readings are invalid. Reincarnation was never there. Textual criticism is outside my expertise, but I know that there are a number of copies of the NT text written closely to the time of the apostles which would make the removal of reincarnation almost impossible to accomplish. "2. did Jesus have brothers and sisters. there was a clear mention in the bible of his brothers and sisters and it is customery in those days for Jews to have big families. Would this dimention the fact that the Virgin Mary Was a virgin when she conceived Jesus." The Lord Jesus having brothers and sisters doesn't diminish the Virgin Birth at all. It proves He was like any other person--having a family. It shows there was nothing unique about Mary that was somehow different from any other mother, thus confirming that Jesus was indeed truly human. Nothing special had to happen to Mary to have this birth, except what the Holy Spirit did in creating the pregnancy. "3. What is the destiny of those who don't believe in Jesu ? Nomads in the deserts, aboriginies, primitive tribes in Africa and Brazil who have never been exposed to christian teaching." They die in their sins. Romans 10:13,17 (ESV) For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."...So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. "4. Are Christian Scientists, Mormons, Christian Spiritists christians even though they may have a different book than the bible ?" No, they preach another gospel and do not put their faith on the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ. "5. why are the Jews not believing in christ though he came from them and all there profits told them about him : Moses, Isia, David etc..." It is so that the gospel can go to the Gentiles (the outermost parts of the earth). Romans 11:7-8 (ESV) What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened, [8] as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear, down to this very day." Romans 11:30-31 (ESV) Just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, [31] so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy.

588 | "Least in the kingdom of God"? | Matt 11:11 | srbaegon | 123212 | ||
Hello ralph2, As to your first paragraph: this qualifies for the following scripture. Titus 3:9 (ESV) But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. Steve |

590 | "Least in the kingdom of God"? | Matt 11:11 | srbaegon | 123234 | ||
Hello ralph2, The poison I was speaking of was the foolish controversy you tried to start with: "I ask a simple three-part question: If Adam did not sin, how long would he have lived? What would the earth look like if sin had not entered the world? What does this tell you about God's original purpose for the earth? Nothing could be more fundamental, uncomplicated or beautiful to ponder for intelligent humans." Steve |

591 | Is our faith tested by trials? | Matt 11:12 | srbaegon | 160936 | ||
Hello pako, To be accurate, not only do you need to pray that you know God and the power od the resurrection, but also that you share in the sufferings of Christ (Phil 3:10). The apostle Paul considered it a complete package. Steve |

592 | Did Jesus ever drink wine? | Matt 11:19 | srbaegon | 215877 | ||
Hi Tim, True they did, but in both cases it was a conclusion based on what the Lord was doing or saying. In John 7:1-24 the Lord was the Jews that they were plotting to kill him. The crowd responded that he had a demon; nobody was trying to kill him. This sounded like lunacy, therefore the demon comment. Later in John 8:48 the Jews repeated the accusation because Jesus had said they were children of the devil, not Abraham to whom they could prove natural lineage. Again Jesus' comment sounded like lunacy on the surface. In the same way, one cannot be a glutton or drunkard without eating and drinking those things that could be used to bring an accusation, however unfounded. So both types of comments were disparaging and fueled by hatred, but there was some outward act that prompted them. That's all. :-) Steve |

Hello Angel, All you've given is empty speculation. Please keep such rhetoric to yourself. This is a Bible study forum. If you wish to give a response, please support it with Scripture as the guidelines state. Steve |

Hello Angel, It's not my golden rule. It's the policy of the forum. If you intend to respond with Scripture to back up the statements made made, then do so. Otherwise it's vain rhetoric that has no place on this forum. Steve |

595 | Can We Walk on Water today??? | Matt 14:29 | srbaegon | 45336 | ||
Hello NewWine Hebrews 13:8 (ESV) Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. The verse speaks of His nature, character, person, however you want to say it. However, His methods have changed through history. One cannot assume that because the Lord and Peter did it once that we should all be doing it over and over. Do you want to increase your faith? So did the twelve. He told them to be obedient to what they were responsible to do -- Luke 17:5-10 (ESV) The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" [6] And the Lord said, "If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you. [7] "Will any one of you who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come at once and sit down at table'? [8] Will he not rather say to him, 'Prepare supper for me, and dress properly, and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink'? [9] Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? [10] So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.' " Steve |

Hello CiY127, Your statement is correct, but to take it to its logical conclusion, one would have to say there were women apostles. That is not true. Also, the literal view of the Scriptures which deny certian positions to women does not disqualify them from a speaking ministry. Steve |

599 | How Holy Is Marriage? | Matt 16:6 | srbaegon | 213622 | ||
You had a question on Val's comment: "'but each man/women was held responsible for their choices and decisions' Can you verify this statement with scripture?" Here is my response from Ezek 18:19-20 (ESV) Yet you say, "Why should not the son suffer for the iniquity of the father?" When the son has done what is just and right, and has been careful to observe all my statutes, he shall surely live. The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. Steve |

Hello DBR, You make an error in your explanation. You say Jesus' physical side is human and His spiritual side is divine. This is not correct. Jesus was and is fully God and fully man in every respect. You cannot divide Him into pieces. Steve |
