1061 | Iam having some questions | John 17:1 | stjohn | 212557 | ||
We may take note that Paul wisely did not use the talmud to show the Galatians their grievous error. Why should we take it up for study when we have the Bible-?! | ||||||
1062 | Iam having some questions | John 17:1 | stjohn | 212561 | ||
MJH, You wrote: "In defensive of the Talmud, Christians have the same things. We have commentary on the Bible. Well why don't we take it a step further? In defensive of the Koran, Christians have the same thing. We have the Bible. Do you see the error in what you are saying? The Koran is false! The Talmud is false! False is false, and anti Christ! You also wrote: "We discuss and disagree on what certain things in the Bible mean. The Bible does require interpretation, and the good in the Oral Law attempts to do this." Are you saying that the Talmud gives edifying commentary on the Bible? And if so, Why on earth didn't the Bible quote from the Talmud? I can say that the book of Mormon attempts to interpret the Bible as well, but the Book of Mormon is no less false then the Talmud! Some truth can be found in all false teaching, thats the draw, we see, some truth, so we are sucked in by it. John |

Oh sorry, (semantics?) the Mishna then, but their isn't much difference. How is posting a website that has writing from the Talmud, any different then out-and-out encouragement to study it? John |

Mjh I don't think I mised your point at all. But, The Talmud, is much more then just an historacal writing, fundamentaly, it's a book of rules and regulations, and we know how easily the human heart will glom onto that and shy away from the doctrines of grace and God's truth. Whether Talmud or Mishnah, were or were not around is irrelevant, we both know the oral law and tradition was around or you wouldn't have a case at all in arguing that the contemporaries of early Christianity were dealing with it. And by the way, Paul dealt with it very effectively in Galatians, and a thorough study of, that book, is all we need to understand how God feels about the oral laws and traditions. And If I may add, if we were to just stick to that (i.e. the Bible) we wouldn't be having this discussion now. ;-) John |

MJH Please, let me be very clear, I'm not missing your point, but you are continually missing mine. THIS IS A BIBLE STUDY!!! So please, knock it off? Do your other stuff elsewhere, as every one else that comes here agrees to do when we agree with the Terms Of Use. John |

1066 | What do we need to know about God | John 17:3 | stjohn | 208560 | ||
My Dear Jamison, How on Earth do you expect anyone to take seriously what you say when you completely contradict yourself. In your original response to this thread, (post # 208485) you wrote, "Let's not forget to keep all the commandments as well as sell all we have and give to the poor!!!" now you says this, "By the way, I don't think keeping the commandments or selling and giving to poor are ways to heaven." My friend, you cant have it both ways. I don't know what your motivation may be, but is seems that you just like to argue. Please, will you give us all a break, young man, I think it's time you gave it up, and dropped this thread. John |

1067 | Jesus Died for all, why speak in parable | John 17:9 | stjohn | 212163 | ||
"He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God." John 3:18-21 |

AMEN! GO-!! Where does it say though that all will be saved? You do know that millions have died in sin and gone to hell? Don't you? If it was His purpose to save the whole world; why weren't they saved? |

Hi Flyman: I don't know why He spoke in parables, I know it was a fulfillment of prophesy that He would, but I don't know why. The question is, did He die to save all. If he did, then your question is valid. If He did not, then your question is mute. By the way, Welcome to the forum! Sorry for my rudeness. :-( John |

Hello Flyman: And once again welcome to the forum! All I can say flyman is; "God bless your heart!" Keep studying His word, don't worry about the questions, questions are mostly good, but the enemy will try to use them to deceive you to think you are not saved. Just keep trusting God and stand on His word! And you are absolutely right; You wrote: "Isn't there a bible verse where God says to study to show thyself approved and to be able to answer others as to what and why we believe?" Paul writes in 2 Tim 2:7-16 "Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything. Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel, for which I suffer hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal; but the word of God is not imprisoned. For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus and with it eternal glory. It is a trustworthy statement: For if we died with Him, we will also live with Him; If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He also will deny us; If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself. Remind them of these things, and solemnly charge them in the presence of God not to wrangle about words, which is useless and leads to the ruin of the hearers. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness," I hope you stay around and study God's awesome word with us! Here are some other websites that may also help you in your understanding. http://www.ewordtoday.com/comments/ http://www.gotquestions.org/index.html http://www.monergism.com/ http://www.blueletterbible.org/study/ Thats just a few, there are many others that folks are happy to share with you; Just ask! Remember though that Scripture doesn't give us all the answers to all our questions. Sometimes, it's just not for us to know some of the answers, or He would have told us. God bless John |

1071 | Is war biblical? | John 18:36 | stjohn | 203928 | ||
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 |

1072 | Remember the price | John 19:1 | stjohn | 215191 | ||
Brethren, on this day, Resurrection Sunday, let us remember the price that was paid for our wretched souls. "Pilate then took Jesus and scourged Him. And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him; and they began to come up to Him and say, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and to give Him slaps in the face." John 19:1-3 " Having all his life long carried their sicknesses and sorrows, he bore the burden of sin to the place of its annihilation, and by his death he made an end of it. Apart from the atonement, the chosen of God, like other men, lay under sin; the black cloud was over all the race, but Jesus took the dense mass of all the transgressions of his people, past, present, and to come, and obliterated the whole, even as a cloud is blotted out from the face of heaven. Jesus took the whole incalculably ponderous load, all charged with tempest as it was, and bore it all upon those shoulders, which must have been crushed to the earth had they not been divine: on the tree he bore that sin and the wrath which was due to it, feeling all its crowded tempests in his own soul, until in that moment when he had borne all, and ended all, he sent up the victorious shout of "It is finished." Then shone forth the unclouded glory of boundless love; then was gone forever the threatened storm; then righteousness sprang out of the earth, and peace looked down from heaven, and the reconciled ones might well exclaim, "Sing, O heavens; for the Lord hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel." Sin was put away, transgression was cast into the depths of the sea, and loud o'er all rang out the jubilant challenge—"Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? Who is he that condemneth, now that Christ hath died?" I scarcely need to sketch that experience, for, my brethren, you know it well. Oh, the blackness of the darkness above; oh, the horror of the tempest within, in the dreadful hour of conviction of sin, when my weary soul longed for nothingness, that it might escape from its own hell. Oh the dread of the wrath to come. I saw all God's indignation gathering up to spend itself upon me, but glory be to God it spent itself elsewhere! ... C. H. Spurgeon "The tempest's awful voice was heard; O Christ, it broke on thee! Thy open bosom was my ward, It braved the storm for me. Thy form was scarred, thy visage marred, Now cloudless peace for me." C. H. Spurgeon |

1074 | Jesus and the "good" theif at the | John 19:30 | stjohn | 188853 | ||
HI Joe, Warm welcome to the forum. I would like to ask, if I may, which Bible translation is it that you are using? I'm no scholar, but I don't think I've heard that spin, on that particular scripture before, and I'm pretty sure that Scripture teaches that upon death we, [to put it in very general terms] immediately, ether go to the good place or the bad place. Like for instance; in the story that our Lord tells, which I'm sure your familiar, the rich man is in the bad side of death, or sheol, and Lazarus is in the good side of death, or as Jesus put's it the [bosom of Abraham]. Is this your interpretation? It seems to me putting the emphasis on 'assuredly' and not on 'today', would change this. Also, on another point, if Jesus was in Hell preaching, we would not consider that paradise, would we? This interpretation, seems to me, would lend credence to the teaching that our Lord went to Hell to preach, which to me, if I may say, is patently ludicrous. What after all would He have to say to those in Hell? There is no Hope for them,... so I guess He would say, nanana your in hell, and you cant come out!-? That would [not] be what our Lord would do to the condemned, may I say, He has [nothing] to say to them, they had they're chance........ Just my two cents ;-) God bless. John |

1076 | Crucified With Christ | John 19:30 | stjohn | 214606 | ||
Crucified With Christ How I want to hide my face As I approach this Holy place; Where Jesus Christ hangs crucified, Expressing God's redeeming grace. Look up, He says, Look up and see All the sin I take from thee, I take your guilt, your shame, and curse. Expressing God's deep love for thee. The law of God you would not keep, Tears my hands and rips my feet; Punishes with its accursed death, All your guilt, which I receive. Stripped of all my clothes I hang, All I have is guilt and shame; All your sin is given to me, It even shames my holy Name; It hides the very face of God, While all your vilest sin I shod; All my day becomes your night, Judged, condemned by Holy God. See your sins upon the Lamb, Cursed by God, and fully damned; See the judgment and the grace, Given by God, the great I Am. With broken heart and tearful face, I see you as you take my place; I hear you pray, I hear you cry, Oh live by God's redeeming grace. I no more shun and no more hide, But with you, Oh Lord, my sin does die. Amazing love, amazing grace, To be with you now crucified! Oh keep me here, my blessed Savior, And let me drink of God's great favor; I will not hide, but here abide, Receive God's love my soul does savor. Michael Gregory |

1077 | Thank you, Jesus! Lover of my soul! | John 19:30 | stjohn | 227151 | ||
--“It is the fact of unyielding divine holiness which demands either the retribution of the sinner or the death of Christ in his room and stead. God is love, and that love is demonstrated by the gift of the Son that men might be saved; but love and mercy did not circumvent the demands of holiness to save the sinner: they paid its every demand. The conclusion of the matter is that God, because of His holiness, cannot save the lost unless His holy demands are met for the sinner, as they are met in the death of Christ; and to be unsaved, or outside the grace of God as it is in Christ, is to be destined to eternal retribution. God can do no more than to provide a perfect salvation, which is provided at infinite cost. When love will pay such a price that a sinner may be saved and holiness remain untarnished, it ill becomes finite men to tamper with these immutable realities. Those who resent the idea of eternal retribution are, in fact, resenting divine holiness. However, the message of God's grace to sinful men is not merely a proclamation of eternal condemnation; it is rather that the chief of sinners may be saved through the Savior that infinite love has provided."-- Don Hewey |

1079 | Retain or forgive sins? | John 20:22 | stjohn | 204556 | ||
Dear Tamara: You wrote pertaining to the power to forgive sin: "He did do it, but then that means He gave them power He has given to no one since." He certainly did not do it. Here is something that I hope clears that up. We need to be very careful with the exposition of that verse! "Ver. 23. Whose soever sins ye remit,.... God only can forgive sins, and Christ being God, has a power to do so likewise; but he never communicated any such power to his apostles; nor did they ever assume any such power to themselves, or pretend to exercise it; it is the mark of antichrist, to attempt anything of the kind; who, in so doing, usurps the divine prerogative, places himself in his seat, and shows himself as if he was God: but this is to be understood only in a doctrinal, or ministerial way, by preaching the full and free remission of sins, through the blood of Christ, according to the riches of God's grace, to such as repent of their sins, and believe in Christ; declaring, that all such persons as do so repent and believe, all their sins are forgiven for Christ's sake:" John Gill http://www.freegrace.net/gill/ God bless John |
