1081 | Is Jesus "son of David"? | Mark 12:35 | stjohn | 204452 | ||
Hi Budderfligh: Yes, I suppose your right too, it's a difficult passage to grasp. Hence I've read quite a few commentaries on this. Unfortunately, many don't have very much to say, and indeed, some skip over it entirely! John Gill however, has much to say, most of which I find to be very helpful. He also covers the same subject-matter in Matthew. http://www.freegrace.net/gill/ And also... http://eword.gospelcom.net/comments/ Shalom and God bless John |

1082 | Salvation message of Jesus | Mark | stjohn | 204437 | ||
Hi Lookin: I was wrong, the gospel of salvation is indeed found in the Bible. (Ephesians 1:13) my bad :-( Here is some more info, FYI, :-) about the meaning of Gospel. Easton's Bible Dictionary Gospel a word of Anglo-Saxon origin, and meaning "God's spell", i.e., word of God, or rather, according to others, "good spell", i.e., good news. It is the rendering of the Greek _evangelion_, i.e., "good message." It denotes (1) "the welcome intelligence of salvation to man as preached by our Lord and his followers. (2.) It was afterwards transitively applied to each of the four histories of our Lord's life, published by those who are therefore called 'Evangelists', writers of the history of the gospel (the evangelion). (3.) The term is often used to express collectively the gospel doctrines; and 'preaching the gospel' is often used to include not only the proclaiming of the good tidings, but the teaching men how to avail themselves of the offer of salvation, the declaring of all the truths, precepts, promises, and threatenings of Christianity." It is termed "the gospel of the grace of God" (Acts 20:24), "the gospel of the kingdom" (Matthew 4:23), "the gospel of Christ" (Romans 1:16), "the gospel of peace (Ephesians 6:15), "the glorious gospel," "the everlasting gospel," "the gospel of salvation" (Ephesians 1:13). Shalom and God bless John |

Hey Lookin: The word, Gospel, means, good news. What is the, Good News? Isn't it that we are sinners and we need a saviour? And Jesus Is that savour? And though we are sinners, doomed to perdition, and unable to pull ourselves out of the mire of sin: He offers His hand to us freely. And Isn't this what we call the "Gospel of Salvation" ? The Gospel of salvation is a term that is not, to my knowledge, found in the Bible, by the way. My dogmatic two cents. :-) Shalom and God bless John |

Oh my, but they are one and the same thing! The Gospel is all about salvation: that is the crux of the whole thing! It is the underling massage of the whole Bible! Shalom and God bless John |

1085 | Is Jesus "son of David"? | Mark 12:35 | stjohn | 204430 | ||
Oh I see, Well, I think He is showing them that they don't know Him from a hole in the ground. I mean he was demonstrating to them (and us) that they did not have the answer to a very good theological question. Though we know what He was demonstrating: as in the Scripture(s) sighted that showed His deity: they did not, or would not see the truth, i.e. that He, The Christ, was, and of course, is also, God. Just my two cents :-) Shalom and God bless John |

Hey Sister Val: I am soo with you on that one. When it comes to eschatology, I'm just resting in Him Sister. Not that I haven't studied it somewhat extensively. And I agree with Brother Lionheart, It's not that hard. I Just don't see my opinion as any more weighty then so many scolors that were, and scolors that are, that are so much smarter then me! Resting... John |

1088 | How do these accounts reconcile? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 204398 | ||
Thanks for the lesson,... Tam. But I thought we were focussed on a specific part of Scripture, and was mostly referring to that. Although what I posted is the underling message of the Bible; Your question was about particular Scriptures in the 4 Gospels, and my answer by sending you an excerpt from gotquestions.org was in hope that it would put your questions about reconciling them to rest. And, what I subsequently posted, also is what I feel "very strongly" is "important" about the 4 Gospel accounts of His death and resurrection, in hope that it would help you focus on that, and not on superfluous details like the unbelievers do. Sheech! Shalom and God bless John |

Dear Tam: I do hope this doesn't offend you, but I'm really not interested at all in a speculative discussion on this, or any other part of Scripture. First of all it's not what I said, please note that it was from gotquestions.org What I am concerned with is, the overall message of the Gospel. Jesus Christ was born, He lived a sinless life, He was crucified and died for our sins, He has risen from the dead, He commanded us, as believers, to go and preach His massage of salvation to the lost world, and He now sits at the Fathers right hand in glory. Speculation plus whatever else you put next to it adds up to nothing. Sola Scriptura! 1 Cor 2:2 For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. Shalom and God bless John |

Encouraging and wise words my Sister, that we can all hang our hat's on, oops! Sorry! :-) And a good show of good old common sense too, by the way! My dear old dad used to say to me more times then I can remember, "Johnny boy, would you PLEASE use your head for something besides a hat rack, and use a little common sense! It took the Holy Spirit to get the message through my thick head though. Bless you my Sister! Mostly I use Shalom in deference too Cheri and Azure. :-) And I think it just sort of means peace, hello and good-by, (doesn't it?) and that's a good thing yes. Shalom and God bless John |

1095 | Why can't I speak in tongues yet ? | Acts | stjohn | 204300 | ||
Hey Loinheart, and Cheri: I too was taught that I was supposed to speak in tongues, and they even went so far as to imply, indeed, some were quite insistent that I just start to speak in gibberish and after a wile the Holy spirt would take over for me. Good grief! By the way I read 1cor 12, 13, and 14 at least 50 times! I thought I must be missing something. But alas, it wasn't I that was missing something! Sadly because I still love them and visit from time to time, I soon found a new church. Shalom and God bless John |

Dear Tam, Certainly, It would be next to impossible to carry on any meaningful dialog without some form of chat, and in the spirit of friendship, and in small doses, it is of course acceptable, but please note that we do try to keep it "short". Tam, I can assure you my dear that no one intentionally meant to have you stumbling around struggling with this site, (we cant see through the screen), so we simply did not know the extent of your trouble. Again, sorry. When I first got to SBF I did have a little trouble but I soon found my way and had, (though I did note your request) I just figured you would do the same as I did. And I am sorry that you thought we were intentionally ignoring you. Also, when I first got here, I had a similar experience with not liking some of the unsolicited advice, (no-one likes to be corrected) I soon found however, that it was all given in the spirit of Christian love and unity. I have come to find that the people here are loving, kind, and patient; but as you, at first I didn't see it that way. In all fairness though I never accused anyone of slander. Oh my, Really? That's a bit severe! I also received some of what I thought was undue hummer pointed from behind my back, and I must admit I was a little put out by this, but soon learned too, that this was just a little good natured and lighthearted hummer and was certainly never intended to harm, so I got over it. May I ask you to please forgive and do the same? I don't intend to minimize your discomfort at this but just ask that you please give us a break here, though we are Christians, we are still human after all, and unfortunately, not perfect. Now I really don't want to seem like I'm harping on this, but you continue to mention brevity as if it is some sort of sin. Please, just look around at what others are doing with their posts? I know it must be hard for you, we are all different, but we do mostly try to keep it to a paragraph or two, don't worry, your message will get through, people aren't that obtuse: and though there is no rule on this, in the spirit of unity and respect, there has to be some happy medium don't you think? Now of course there are those that seem too brief, and there are those that tend to run long; but I think by asking us not to use brevity our host is meaning not to use just a very few words, and as some of us sometimes do just answer with a yes or no; again even at that sometimes a one word answer is appropriate, even a yep or nope is sometimes ok. ok? Happy medium? Now, you can ignore this part of my post if you please, but please, don't come back with an argument about the hosts wishes for us not using brevity, just look at what others are doing if you desire to go with the flow. Again, I'm Sorry I am harping, I'll drop it now that I've said my peace. And I ask you please to do the same, there is no need to keep this going. Amen? Tam, this place has been and is a real blessing to me, and I hope it is to you too. Sometimes I can hardly believe how much I have learned, especially how to get along and be patient. If you think I'm bad now you should have known the fella that first got here. I don't know why I wasn't drummed right on out of here! :-) But of course it's because the people here are loving and patient Christians. I hope we can burry the hatchet and have a productive cordial relationship in the future. I hope/pray, that you can understand that I NEVER intended to offend you. I know I'm not very graceful at times, but I do try to be. :-) Please forgive me, Tamara; may God bless you as you study and learn with us. Shalom and God bless John |

1099 | Should Women Wear Hats? | 1 Cor 11:4 | stjohn | 204247 | ||
You got me Brother, Lionheart, I don't really see one. Like I tried to lightheartedly say to our Sister, if you think it honors God to do it, then do it, and God bless you. But I think you, or should I say Scripture, (Rom 14) hit the proverbial nail on the head! Lets not dispute over the matter. God bless John |

Dear Sister, Val: Good post. Personally I believe dispensationalism has some merit. But I also see a danger in taking it too far as the hyper dispe's do, so I take it with a grain of kosher salt. Note that too, Jesus says in matthew 16:18 (the first time we see the word in Scripture by the way) "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it." Note He says "I will build" Now it would make sense, that you don't "build" (future tense) something that already existed, now would you? Shalom and God bless John |
