961 | Do YOU belive in the Bible? | 1 Cor 7:15 | srbaegon | 39091 | ||
Hello jg8ball Be careful of saying that hatred is the worst. You will find in the Bible that God hates. Psalm 5:5, Isaiah 1:14, and Revelation 2:6 are examples. Steve |

962 | Scriptural Support for you position? | 1 Cor 8:5 | srbaegon | 134922 | ||
Hello pcdarcan, My Bible does not have the passage which states that Satan made himself a god. Would you please share it? The best I can do is find where he is called the "ruler of this world" (John 12:31; 16:11). So in that regard, he was sufficiently authorized to offer all the kingdoms of the earth to Christ in exchange for worship. Steve |

Hello Simchat Torah You better go back and look again. Matthew 16:16 (ESV) Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Steve |

964 | self control / spirit control | 1 Cor 9:25 | srbaegon | 53315 | ||
Hello Simchat Torah Simply that Simon Peter called Jesus the Christ (i.e. Messiah, Anointed One). It was a plain identification of who the Lord was and is. To say He is not the Messiah prophecied in the OT is a gross misunderstanding of Jesus' person. Steve |

Hello Simchat Torah "We are to walk in the Torah as Yeshua did." Not so. We are released from the law. Romans 7:6 (ESV) But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve not under the old written code but in the new life of the Spirit. Steve |

966 | self control / spirit control | 1 Cor 9:25 | srbaegon | 53470 | ||
Hello Simchat Torah You are correct--we have different understanding of Torah. It appears you are viewing Torah as the sum total of God's revelation to man, and I see it as the Mosaic Covenant. Steve |

Hello Bub No, I'm not denying that passage. But how did Jesus walk that we should imitate? Total obedience to the Father. Philip. 2:5-8 (ESV) Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, [6] who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, [7] but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, [8] he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Steve |

Hello Bub What I am saying is "to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams" (1 Sam 15:22). God delights in obedience, which is what Jesus gave Him. The pattern of walk is not a strict adherence to a proscribed law, otherwise Saul's sacrifice would have been valid. It is the heart of faith which God desires--"but the righteous shall live by his faith" (Hab 2:4). Steve |

969 | self control / spirit control | 1 Cor 9:25 | srbaegon | 53709 | ||
Hello Bub 1 Sa. is not saying "if you obey you don’t have to worry about the sacrifice." Not at all. Saul was offering a freewill sacrifice with something the Lord never wanted. It was basically offering strange fire. This had nothing to do with the required sacrifice for sins or trespasses. "What is 'the heart of faith'?" Philip. 3:9 (ESV) and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— "What is living by ones faith?" Faith is not obedience. Faith is evidenced (James 2:14-26) and increased (Luke 17:5-10) by obedience. Steve |

Hello Bub "Read all of the below statements and insert 'the customs and commands as defined by popular usage' in the place of 'law'. These statements make perfect sense in that context" But it makes no sense if Paul was confused on what Torah truly was. He could not have made these statements: Romans 7:12 (ESV) So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good. Romans 10:5 (ESV) For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that the person who does the commandments shall live by them. If Paul's understanding was corrupt, we have no hope of using his writings accurately and should cut them out of our Bibles. Steve |

Hello Bub "As for your closing question, 'Do you believe that keeping the Torah contributes in any way to "justification"?' Well let’s see: Ro 2:13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous." This is an invalid use. You have already stated that the law was what the Pharisees had put in place and was common use of life at the time. Paul being a Pharisee would have had the same understanding. Therefore, by your own reasoning, this "law" has nothing to do with Torah. Steve |

Hello Bub I got it very well. You said the Pharisees obscured/obstructed/amended/amplified the basic Torah. Paul was a Pharisee. His teaching must be corrupted because the body of knowledge he received was corrupted. Paul's teaching is then no longer objective and cannot be used for any proof. You attempted to use Rom 2--that there is a righteousness through the Law. What law? We have no basis of comparison. Was Paul speaking of Torah? Was he speaking of the Mosaic Covenant? Was he speaking of the Pharisaic additions? Was he speaking of a commonly used body of teaching that included all of the above? We have nothing to say which is correct. And if those are incorrect, we might as well cut them out of our Bibles, because they are useless. Steve |

Hello Bub Just because the same word is used for "writing" and "scripture" (at least in Greek; I'm assuming for Hebrew) does not mean all writing is scripture. "Scripture" carries the implied qualifier of "Holy." It's something different than just words on a page. Steve |

974 | self control / spirit control | 1 Cor 9:25 | srbaegon | 54193 | ||
Hello Bub We are on the same page concerning "scripture." I believe Steve Jones was the person with whom you were discussing Heb 10. Steve |

975 | Men having long hair a disgrace? | 1 Cor 11:7 | srbaegon | 208619 | ||
Hello, Culturally, the time period was one where men kept the hair cropped shorter. This is noticed from art and decorative pieces of the time. The Nazirite vow was for a specific period at the end if which the hair was cut. The three you mention are utterly unique as lifelong Nazirites. Jesus could not have been a Nazirite for more than one reason: 1) Is 53:2 says "he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him." A Nazirite sticks out like a sore thumb. 2) Nazirites could not consume anything made with grapes. a) Jesus would have been conspicuous at the wedding of Cana had he not had any of the wine. b) In Mark 14:25 he says that he will not drink the wine again until later, inferring he had done so previously. 3) Num 6:6 says the Nazirite shall not go near a dead body. Jesus touched dead bodies. Steve |

976 | Men having long hair a disgrace? | 1 Cor 11:7 | srbaegon | 208658 | ||
Hello Roots, Actually, culture should not have anything to do with the matter. When Paul said that long hair on a man was a disgrace, he probably had in mind God's desire to keep gender distinctions: like in Deut 22:5 where men and women are not to wear each others' clothing. Steve |
||||||
977 | Men having long hair a disgrace? | 1 Cor 11:7 | srbaegon | 208664 | ||
Hello McBoy222, Welcome to the forum. I must continue to disagree since Paul makes an argument from nature which supersedes any cultural argument. I do agree that the passage deals with God's order in headship, so the question of the concluding remark is one of scope: what custom is not known among the churches? Headship? Head-coverings? Hair length? Contentiousness? I lean toward the last in this series. Steve |

978 | Men having long hair a disgrace? | 1 Cor 11:7 | srbaegon | 208674 | ||
Hello McBoy222, I thank you for your gracious manner in this discussion. I will continue to disagree because you continue to make cultural rather than Scriptural arguments. I also disagree that women give headship to men. God established the order. That being so, headship is non-negotiable. I rather see respect as earned and given. Steve |

979 | 3 Questions, please help. | 1 Cor 11:15 | srbaegon | 93172 | ||
Hello Hank, If I had been in the movie "High Noon", I could have just taken a bow, blinded my enemy with the reflected sun, and wounded him before he had a chance to draw. :-D And I do give more import to this than you since we actively teach and practice it in our group. Steve |

Hello Nevvvvine, What do you mean by immoral? Whatever your answer, transexuality is sin. Let's start with Deut. 22:5 (ESV) A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God. Regardless of direct applicability in to Christians, the understanding of the verse is that men and women are different and are demonstrate a difference. There is a creation precept at the root of this. Men and women are equal before God but have different roles--men are to be the leaders and women helpers of their men. This was true of Israel and carried forth into the church. Steve |
