Hey Doc: It amazes me that there are still so many believing in modern Israel as a fulfillment, without looking close enough at it, to see what's really going on there! I guess two plus two must be five! God bless John |

Dear Tamara: No one knows what God is doing or has done in the heart of any individual. Nobody should judge who should hear whatever Scriptures God may use to draw someone to Him. "just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love" Eph 1:4 If you disagree with someone's methods, then simply and humbly do what you believe the Scriptures are telling you. Without being confrontational! There is never profit in strife! Be a beacon my dear, try to show the unbelievers that Christians have a spirit of unity, not division. If you cannot, or will not do that, or you are unable to do that, then simply remove yourself from the situation. We do not honor God by having a confrontational attitude toward the teacher! Shalom and God bless John |

1106 | gifts of Spirit in Heaven | 1 Cor 12:1 | stjohn | 204111 | ||
Um, Ah, I think you may have missed the point. "And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God." 1 Cor 2:1-5 |

1108 | Baptized into his death | Rom 6:3 | stjohn | 204104 | ||
By the way Robert: On the original question regarding "Baptized into Hid death" I think you answered well. The problem Robert, was elsewhere in your interpretation of "water baptism" having something to do with being born again, which really has very little or I dare say, no substantive scriptural support. No problem with "knot tying" I used to be a boy scout! :-) God bless John |

Dear Lookin: I believe if you read this entire tread with an open mind you will be enlightened to some 'additional' truth. Brother BradK has given you some good scriptures to chew on, as well as the commentary by John Gill that I have posted to you in my other post. I can see no need to go into further debate on this issue. However, I am open, as I am sure are others, to any further question you may have. God bless John |

Hi Lookin: Apparently you are taking John 3:5 to mean water baptism. Jesus makes no mention of baptism with His use of the word water. Here is a good commentary that may help you with this. "except a man be born of water and of the Spirit: these are, twnv twlm, "two words", which express the same thing, as Kimchi observes in many places in his commentaries, and signify the grace of the Spirit of God. The Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions read, "the Holy Spirit", and so Nonnus; and who doubtless is intended: by "water", is not meant material water, or baptismal water; for water baptism is never expressed by water only, without some additional word, which shows, that the ordinance of water baptism is intended: nor has baptism any regenerating influence in it; a person may be baptized, as Simon Magus was, and yet not born again; and it is so far from having any such virtue, that a person ought to be born again, before he is admitted to that ordinance: and though submission to it is necessary, in order to a person's entrance into a Gospel church state; yet it is not necessary to the kingdom of heaven, or to eternal life and salvation: such a mistaken sense of this text, seems to have given the first birth and rise to infant baptism in the African churches; who taking the words in this bad sense, concluded their children must be baptized, or they could not be saved; whereas by "water" is meant, in a figurative and metaphorical sense, the grace of God, as it is elsewhere; see Eze 36:25. Which is the moving cause of this new birth, and according to which God begets men again to, a lively hope, and that by which it is effected; for it is by the grace of God, and not by the power of man's free will, that any are regenerated, or made new creatures: and if Nicodemus was an officer in the temple, that took care to provide water at the feasts, as Dr. Lightfoot thinks, and as it should seem Nicodemon ben Gorion was, by the story before related of him; See Gill on "Joh 3:1"; very pertinently does our Lord make mention of water, it being his own element: regeneration is sometimes ascribed to God the Father, as in 1Pe 1:3, and sometimes to the Son, 1Jo 2:29 and here to the Spirit, as in Tit 3:5, who convinces of sin, sanctifies, renews, works faith, and every other grace; begins and carries on the work of grace, unto perfection;" -- John Gill God bless John |

Dear Lookin: It has seldom been my pleasure to be acquainted with a man such as BradK. His dedication and graceful ministering of God's Word is an inspiration. My friend, you would do well to take his counsel, and not be so eager to rebuke. We are all learning hear, Lookin, can you please show a little grace. No need to have a chip on your shoulder, no-one is picking on you. Brother Bradk is only doing his best (which is quite good by the way) to give out a sound Biblical interpretation of the Word and speaking the truth in love. God bless John |

Dear Lookin: I don't think Brother Tim needs to do any footwork in this area, I think his question was indeed legitimate and I also see why he was concerned, and asked for clarification. Let me quote you if you please: "When we are baptized, we are putting on Christ. In baptism, we are identifying with His Death, and then when we come up out of the water, we are Identifying with His Resurrection. We are then Born Again, in Newness of life, we are new creatures in Christ." Now there are at least three of us who see from what you said in your post that you did indeed imply that at the point of water baptism that you are born again. This looks to me, that, at that, you are saying that you are then saved by water baptism. Can you see why we are looking for clarification? God bless John |

1113 | Should Women Wear Hats? | 1 Cor 11:4 | stjohn | 204015 | ||
Dear Tamara: I’ve not been here at the forum all that long, indeed, I’m rather a newcomer. But I have noticed that most all the regulars seem to try to keep their questions answers and notes somewhat concise, (short) and comprehensive, (to the point and understandable) this seems to be the normative practice of convention. I’m not saying it’s a rule, of course, but it seems to be the polite thing to do. I’m sorry if you are (and you seem to be) offended by my reference to the length of your post, I’m sorry but almost all of your posts are long, and forgive my frankness but it is hard to keep someone’s attention when, as you said yourself, they are just too darn long. Now, your original question was: Should women wear hats? Well, here’s the verse: 1 Cor 11:5 But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved. OK since you apparently feel it necessary to be pedantic about the issue of wearing or not wearing a hat, consider this. Paul says, “ While praying or prophesying” My question for you is. Do you, when you sit down to a meal and say grace (praying) do you make sure that you are wearing a hat? Or even when privately speaking to the Lord (praying, do you wear a hat? And, as an outspoken women (you seem to be) and seemingly one who is not ashamed of the gospel. Do you always wear a hat when sharing or discussing scripture (in a broad sense but nonetheless considered prophesying) and when you sit down to your computer to share and teach here at the forum: do you wear a hat? It is also a convention here at the forum, and by the way mandated by our gracious host, The Lockman Foundation, to use scripture references when posting notes and answers, something that with all your verbiage, you have glaringly failed to do. (at least for the most part) Please do so in the future. THIS IS NOT A CHAT ROOM The call, indeed the motto here at the forum is, Sola Scriptura! So please Keep that in mind when posting hear at the forum. You can familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions by clicking on, "Terms of Use." at the top of the home page. Please do so. Now, my dear Tamara, if you really think it so important to be pedantic, then, how about these scriptures. 1 Tim 2:11-14 A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. How are you doing with that one? I hope you can see my point my Sister, we can sure get bogged down with trying to keep rules that are just an external view of who we really are, and God don’t give a hoot about what we look like on the outside, but cares ever so much and ever so deeply about what we look on the inside. “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.” Ps 51:17 I'll let you have the last word on this matter, If you feel it necessary to keeping this going, but I'm hanging my proverbial hat on the rack! :-) I really cant see how this is substantively efficacious for building up the Body of Christ. We can go on and on until it all seems quite superfluous. Shalom and God bless John |

Hi Tamara: WOW! I hope you are not offended by this, but really, my dear Sister, I can hardly believe you are making such a big issue, and taking so much time and space on the forum, of the question of wearing or not wearing a hat! If you think you should wear a hat, wear hat, and God bless you. I know there are many wonderful ladies that are lovely children of God, hatted or not, but I would suppose according to that which you espouse, all you Christian women, when the rapture comes, y'all better grab for your hats! :-) God bless John P.S. sorry for no scriptural references, so here is one to ponder. 1 Cor 6:12 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. |

1117 | Gift of Wisdom and gift of Knowledge? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 203947 | ||
Hi Tamara: You are welcome "a bunch" :-) and a belated warm welcome to the forum! Ah, I see where you are, (I think) what I covered in my previous post of course was wisdom and knowledge as is listed as gifts of the spirit. But, in, (I Cor 2:1-8) I would suppose, Paul means that God Himself has the wisdom to know that we have nothing in us to pull ourselves up and out of the mire of sin, so, Jesus Christ, and Him crucified, is our only answer and hope for salvation. also I would say, the wisdom of God, as I take it, is, in His plain for us to know Jesus is the one and only way for us to "really" know God, and to know how wonderful and loving He really is. I don't really know if one would have any bearing on the other, but I suppose they do. The wisdom of God, in (1Cor 2) to me however, is, Divine Wisdom, indeed: What a wonderful kind and gracious God we have in Jesus Christ, our Lord and master! Just my two cents. :-) God bless John |

Dear Churon: You stated emphatically that, (speaking of Jesus) "He never ever used force to punish any sinner." Hmm, I seem to recall in scripture where He drove some unsavory merchants out of the temple by the use of a whip! That sounds a lot like force! He also told His disciples to take up swords, and if they did not have one to sell there coat to buy one! Luke 22:36 And He said to them, "But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one. You asked for idea(s) on "what would Jesus do"? : that gives me an idea; how about you? God bless John |

Dear Sister, Azure, and Cheri: Thank you both for the good wishes, and Azure, for for giving us scriptures that are reminding us who we are, sons and daughters of the most high God, a father who loved us first, while we were yet, still sinners, in need of a saviour. Praise be to God, our blessed Father. I humbly extend to all y'all and to our, Eternal Father. Happy fathers day! :-) God bless y'all and shalom John |
