1541 | is it ok to lie in certain cases | Col 3:9 | stjohn | 207962 | ||
Hi Cheri, It's sometimes so easy to get ourselves in a pickle when we let our emotions get involved in a very charged subject. We can speculate all day long about hypothetical situations, where, we may think we need to lie, in order to help someone; and, situations that none of us wishes to get into or wish someone els into that we or they would think they have to make such a choice, and come to the same end: God's word is infallible, and it says do not lie. As someone els said, "sometimes it is better to say nothing" :-) This place, SBF, is after all, a Bible study, and the Bible is quite clear on this. Shalom and God bless John |

1542 | is it ok to lie in certain cases | Col 3:9 | stjohn | 208002 | ||
Yes dear sister, I understand how that works, thank you. But, (there's that word) and I hope this isn't too much of a stretch for you, but, I was not referring to a literal priest in the Levitecal sense, obviously he was not a Levite, (sorry I wasn't more clear on that) but, in a spiritual sense, such as in 1 peter 2:9, wherein as believers, we are ALL a royal priesthood, David, was a believer. So that eating the show-bread was just a tradition with the legalistic Levite's, and not something that I believe God really cared about, so that when Jesus mentioned it to the pharisees, He was reflecting that sentiment. (i.e. the Pharisees only believed/thought it was lawbreaking, they are the ones that made that up anyway) Jesus was telling them otherwise; after all, He is the Lord of the Sabbath, and, therefor, more then able to explain what the significance of the Sabbath really is. He is rest itself, and in Him is found rest for believers, He is our peace He is our rest, making Him the Sabbath itself. But I digress, we were talking about, is it ok to lie, weren't we.... or should I say, does the "Bible" say, it's ok to lie? I don't think it does, by the way. :-) Shalom and God bless John |

1544 | is it ok to lie in certain cases | Col 3:9 | stjohn | 208007 | ||
Sorry, Lookin, bad choice of words, Saul was not a saved, believing in the power of God, person, David, was. Obviously Saul and David were both sinners that did sometimes do things there own way, instead of God's way. The BIG difference is, David repented, Saul, did not. It wasn't so much what he did, but the condition of Saul's heart that was Judged as unworthy. | ||||||
1545 | is it ok to lie in certain cases | Col 3:9 | stjohn | 208010 | ||
Hi Val, no, not specifically, but in regard to how he conducted himself, I think we can see plainly that he was not a saved person. We can know them by their fruit! Yes? Notwithstanding, Saul's salvation has been hotly debated, I don't think we want to do that; do we? God bless John |

Hi Val, I found some really interesting articles on wether King Saul was saved or not, that may be of interest to you. I'm afraid that I may have to change my mind after reading them both, but I still am reserving that, for now, at least. :-) God bless John http://www.hope-in-jesus.com/Teachings/CharacterAnalysis/saul_SonOfKish.htm and http://www.biblelineministries.org/articles/listall.php3 scroll down the list too, KING SAUL! HIS SALVATION! These are both very good reads, with some valid scripturally based points in each. |

1547 | is it ok to lie in certain cases | Col 3:9 | stjohn | 208070 | ||
Jesus asked the same question of the Pharisees, we can find it in Matt 12:12 "How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath." Mark 3:4 And He *said to them, "Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to kill?" But they kept silent. And, Luke 6:9 And Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?" In Mark 3:4, we see that the Pharisees kept silent, what do you say, Lookn? Was it, "lawful" to do good on the Sabbath? |

1549 | is it ok to lie in certain cases | Col 3:9 | stjohn | 208242 | ||
That argument, in no way, confutes the fact; Jesus broke no law. Notwithstanding, it seems rather pointless. Nor can I find in myself, even a smidgin shade of agreement. |

1551 | Exasperate - examples? | Col 3:21 | stjohn | 206308 | ||
Dear Immanuelsown: Getsmart hasn't posted since 2001, so there is a good chance you will not hear back from him/her, but I have a question, if you don't mind.... You Wrote: "I don't read the NASV or The Amplified, so I got a completely different take on the whole thing." You then give us the KJV sighting the words (provoke) and (discouraged) I must say, this confuses me, since the Amplified uses the exact same words, and the NASB uses (exasperate) and (lose heart) Which pretty much mean the same thing as the words used in the KJV and the Amplified. Can you please explain to us, what is your, "completely different take" on this is? Shalom John |
||||||
1552 | Exasperate - examples? | Col 3:21 | stjohn | 206319 | ||
oh, okay, I see what you mean, by the difference in provoke and exasperate, Imm, though I don't really see that much of a difference, I think the NASB or the KJV, both do a good job. I'm no expert in translating the Bible, but I do trust the NASB in their translation. When you said you had a "completely" different take, that's were I had a problem, "completely", is a very strong word, and it kind of thew me, sorry. Thank you very much, for the explanation. I didn't intend for you to go to so much trouble, your first paragraph pretty much answered it for me. Thanks again for giving me such a detailed explanation though, I really appreciate it. Shalom and God bless John |

1553 | What is really important? | 1 Thess 2:9 | stjohn | 198542 | ||
Excellent quote Doc. There seems to be an awful lot of mouse hunting these days as well. :-( Matt 23:24 |
||||||
1554 | What is really important? | 1 Thess 2:9 | stjohn | 198565 | ||
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. |

1556 | Which saints will be left behind? | 1 Thess 4:17 | stjohn | 188774 | ||
Dear M.Royal; You have said;.... "Remember that all that belong to God through Christ (saved) are the Church or of his body." In response to that I will show you the truth of the mater. Jesus makes this statement to Peter, This is after Peter said to Him in response to the question: Who do you say I am? Peter responded; "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Then Jesus makes a remarkable declaration that should be payed attention to, (and whenever our Lord speaks we should pay attention!)....... Matt 16:18 "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. Now, It is (clear) that He said; (I WILL build) this is clearly an indication that He had not as yet started to build it, so, obviously not everyone that is saved is part of the Church, obviously the old testament saints are not the same as the Church, they are saved of course, and part of God's family, but not, according to Jesus Christ, are they the Church. So, should we believe you or Jesus? If you need more, please feel free to ask, I'll be glad to help you find the truth. God bless. John |

1557 | Why would he leave his servants? | 1 Thess 4:17 | stjohn | 188777 | ||
Dear M.Royal; You wrote;...... "These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God (The Church) and unto the lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. So as they are before the throne in that state, that is how they got there without change." please excuse me, but it is not clear from the way you wrote, where scripture leaves of, and your thoughts are interjected. I believe this is condemned by scripture, and those that do this should be avoided. I hope you did not do this intentionally!... Did you?... If you would like scriptural proof of my assertion I will provide you with it; please let me know. God bless. John |

1558 | Which saints will be left behind? | 1 Thess 4:17 | stjohn | 188794 | ||
Dear M.Royal; Ether you are not being serious or you are obtuse, because, I just did! If you insist on continuing in this vain, it will be necessary to warn you that your participation will not be welcome hear at the forum, and you may have crossed that line already, this is not a joke this is a serious Bible study. And, your interpretation is making a mockery of God's Word! I pray that you take counsel in this admonishment. God bless. John |
||||||
1559 | Which saints will be left behind? | 1 Thess 4:17 | stjohn | 188808 | ||
Dear M.Royal Sorry,.....But,..... HUH?-! May I ask what translation you are using? Sorry my friend but the Impetus is on you, it seems that many are not getting satisfactory answers from you, you seem to be quite discourteous to many requests to explain yourself and you have been evasive and have even changed the position that you are arguing from. Then you have the audacity to state that it is God's word. A true child of God is not disruptive, or discourteous, or confusing, or dismissive, or dessentious. But you seem to be my friend. May God open your eyes. God bless. John |

Good morning, grafted in, shalom. I apologize, I hope you don't think I'm being nosy, but, I couldn't help notice that you used the hebrew word for adversary (meaning Satan). Do you speak Hebrew? Perhaps you'd be so kind, grafted in, to fill out something in the user personal profile, so we can get to know you a little better? Where do you go to Church? :-) John |
