Hi GNM, Welcome to the forum! Some believe that Matthias, filled the vacancy that was left by Judas, but because of the fact that lots were drawn and God was not consulted, that Paul filled the spot because God chose Paul Himself. Regardless, the spot on the twelfth throne is indeed filled. Acts 1:26 And they drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles. God bless John |

Dear Dr. Steeno, We know that Jesus' suffered in our place and made it possible for us to have our sins taken away, and so, we can have fellowship with God. We also know that we must confess our sins in order for our sins to be forgiven, that is we must turn away from sin and turn too God (i.e. repentance) We know too that God looks at the heart, and to suggest that, "asking for forgiveness," will somehow, "insult God," just because we know that the work has already been done for that to be possible, would render repentance as nothing but a mechanical act with no heart in it at all. Read the story of the prodigal son my friend and see how God feels about one of His own falling away in sin and living as the world, and then seeing his sin, and asking his Father, with a penitent heart, to take him back. Luke 15:20 "So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him." It's a two way street my friend, yes, the work of The Cross is past tense, but that work is still being done today in the heart of the believer, and it depends on wether we ask for forgiveness. Confession, without contrition, is only a mechanical act, and really, no confession at all. God judges the heart, not just the words, words without love, are just noise. Rom 12:9 1 Cor 13:1 God bless John |

Hi Dr. Steeno Pardon me sir but you have me kinda confused. Are you suggesting that somehow the cross has rendered the Lords pryer inconsequential and ineffective because of Christ's work on the Cross? And that somehow God is not going to look with favor and Grace and Mercy at a penitent heart? I would suggest, If I may, that you read Ps 51 with special attention to verse 17 "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise." I don't think Our Father who art in Heaven, minds at all when we confess "with contrition"! Even in a court of law, a confession with no sign of sorrow often leads to a maximum sentence! Oh no my friend, contrition, is always good for the soul! God bless John |

Hi CDBJ, I was taught that Jesus Christ is the Rock on which the Church was built on, not what someone says "or believes", but Christ, He is the Rock, His Church is built on His person, "The Person" of "Jesus Christ", ( i.e. "The Rock") that is what The Church is built on, the person of Jesus Christ is the fondation that the Church was built on. God bless John |

ah yes, the SPCLP. Perhaps a committee to study the efficacy of such would be in order? But I do believe that The Word is the only remedy, and there seems no shortage of mice, or hunters! Colossians !:29 I Pray that this is true. |

Dear Talchapy; These are the words of Matthew Henry not yours, that is what is called plagiarism and it is like stealing and that is a sin, please give credit where credit is due. There is nothing inherently wrong with quoting others but we should always give them the credit, otherwise we are just putting on airs, showing off, and trying to look like we are something we are not. God bless John |

Hi Jesusman, Here are a few more commentaries that may give some insight in this area. By the way, it's not uncommon to take the first interpretation as you call it, that was my first interpretation as well. :-) God bless John Gen 6:3,Yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years; so long I will defer the judgment they deserve, and give them space to prevent it by their repentance and reformation. Justice said, Cut them down; but mercy interceded, Lord, let them alone this year also; and so far mercy prevailed, that a reprieve was obtained for six-score years. Note, The time of God’s patience and forbearance towards provoking sinners is sometimes long, but always limited: --Matthew Henery Gen 6:2 That the a sons of God saw the daughters b of men that they [were] c fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. (a) The children of the godly who began to degenerate. (b) Those that had wicked parents, as if from Cain. (c) Having more respect for their beauty and worldly considerations than for their manners and godliness. Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always d strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an e hundred and twenty years. (d) Because man could not be won by God’s leniency and patience by which he tried to win him, he would no longer withhold his vengeance. (e) Which time span God gave man to repent before he would destroy the earth, (ref, 1Peter 3:20 ) --Geneva Study Bible 6:3 flesh--utterly, hopelessly debased. And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive--Christ, as God, had by His Spirit inspiring Enoch, Noah, and perhaps other prophets (1Peter3:20, 2Peter2:5, Jude1:14, preached repentance to the antediluvians; but they were incorrigible. yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years--It is probable that the corruption of the world, which had now reached its height, had been long and gradually increasing, and this idea receives support from the long respite granted. -- Jamieson, Fausset, Brown,Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible Genesis 6:2 marks the breaking down of the separation between the godly line of Seth and the godless line of Cain, and so the failure of the testimony to Jehovah committed to the line of Seth (Genesis 4:26). For apostasy there is no remedy but judgment ; Isaiah 1:2-7, 24,25; Hebrews 6:4-8; 10:26-31. Noah, "a preacher of righteousness," is given 120 years, but he won no convert, and the judgment predicted by his great- grandfather fell ; Jude 1:14-15: Gen 7:11. (Scofield Reference Notes (1917 Edition)) Gen 6:1 Men began to multiply upon the face of the earth - This was the effect of the blessing,Gen 1:28, and yet man's corruption so abused this blessing, that it turned into a curse. 6:2 The sons of God - Those who were called by the name of the Lord, and called upon that name, married the daughters of men - Those that were profane, and strangers to God. The posterity of Seth did not keep to themselves as they ought, but intermingled with the race of Cain: they took them wives of all that they chose - They chose only by the eye: They saw that they were fair - Which was all they looked at. 6:3 My spirit shall not always strive with man - The spirit then strove by Noah's preaching, 1Peter 3:19. and by inward checks, but 'twas in vain with the most of men; therefore saith God, he shall not always strive, for that he also is flesh - Incurably corrupt and sensual, so that 'tis labour lost to strive with him. He also, that is, all, one as well as another; they are all sunk into the mire of flesh. Yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years - So long will I defer the judgment they deserve, and give them space to prevent it by their repentance and reformation. Justice said, cut them down; but mercy interceded, Lord, let them alone this year also; and so far mercy prevailed, that a reprieve was obtained for six score years. (John Wesley's Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible) |

"yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years: meaning not the term of man's life, reduced to this from the length of time he lived before the flood; but this designs the space that God would give for repentance, before he proceeded to execute his vengeance on him; this is that "longsuffering of God" the apostle speaks of in the afore mentioned place, "that waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was preparing"; and so both the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan interpret it of a space of an hundred and twenty years given them to repent:"-- John Gill's exposition of the whole Bible | ||||||

Thanks Doc, I'll check out the website. And I agree with the problem not being what method, I think I was pretty clear on that in my previous posts, and your right, without motivation no method will work. :-) I've been somewhat familiar with those methods of study from reading some of your old posts on Hermeneutic exegesis and I'm just getting to know Dever. I've been listing to some of his sermons/lectures at 9Marks, I have about 20 so far on mp3, very good stuff! I'm also quite involved in reading the reformers bios. I'm lovin it! I'm playing catch-up after 50 some years of being a lacker and a slacker. There is so much to learn, I hope it, (learning about God, getting to know His word, His Heart, His People, and His Angels) will go on to eternity, I believe it will. God bless John |

Hi Doc, I hadn't thought of God maybe sending prophets, ... interesting-.. I had thought maybe through Abraham, sense He lived in the neighborhood, could have given them at least a cursory knowledge of God and His salvation... Two cents worth? :-) | ||||||

Hi Michael T, Sorry; :-( ... I missed that connection, ... my apologies sir. And I agree! There is no such thing as universal salvation. And I'm pretty sure Brother Tim would agree too. I know He would not refer to God as "he-it", so that is probably why I missed that. Perhaps you have misunderstood Him as well but, He will respond for Himself. God bless John |

Dear Sister Val, First I'd like to say that I appreciate your participation here at the forum, and I hope I speak for all the members. For the most part you seem to really strive to help those who come here with questions and are trying to understand God's word. Now I would like to point out, if I may, that It has come to my attention by careful observation that some who come here, however, are just trying to get out of working and doing their own reading to learn and know the scriptures; and, that the wiser of the members here do not encourage such lazybones for their irresponsibility by doing their homework. I have taken this practice, of not encouraging them, to heart, by following the lead of these wiser members, and I hope you will too. Of course, on the one hand we can sometimes not be sure when someone is cheating, but on the other hand, sometimes, it is quite obvious, as in the case of our most recent visitor. I know this is not a rule, but I hope we can agree that it's the responsible and loving thing to do, when we encourage them to do their own reading. I don't know if you have children, but do you suppose that a parent would want someone to do their children's homework for them? Do you think our Father wants us to show these ones that it pays to be lazy? Thank you Sister. God bless John |
