4541 | Is Salvation lump sum? | Heb 7:25 | DocTrinsograce | 219958 | ||
Dear Dodoy, The word salvation cover a number of specific set of steps or blessings. Scripture reveals them in a specific logical order (ordo salutis). Thus, when we speak of election and atonement, it is something that took place in the past (Ephesians 1:4; John 19:30) -- as did our regeneration (Titus 3:5). Progressive sanctification (Ephesians 4:22-25) takes place in the present life of the believer, but will find its consummation when we are taken to be with Him (1 John 3:2). There are other future elements as well. Consequently, there is no inconsistency to speak of having been saved, being saved, and ultimately saved. In Him, Doc |

4542 | What Scripture, Israel restored | Heb 8:8 | DocTrinsograce | 204196 | ||
How about Jeremiah 31:31-34? | ||||||
4543 | Oh are you a dispie | Heb 8:8 | DocTrinsograce | 204213 | ||
Hi, RC... No, I'm an Historic Baptist... I'm a lot more covenantal... Let's see... the word covenant appears in Scripture 280 times and the word dispensation appears 4 times. I guess that makes me 65 times as covenantal. :-) See my profile for more information. I'm also a Jewish believer. (That and 5 dollars will buy you a cup of Starbucks.) Hence, when I answered your question, I was thinking about the restoration of Israel as being a restoration into God's good will. That can only happen by the redemption of Christ. Thus, Paul speaks of the salvation of Israel in Romans 11. Therefore, I thought that this "restoration" thing everyone talks about would certainly be an aspect of the New Covenant, so I offered you up that passage in Jeremiah. In Him, Doc |

Hi, RC... I knew what you were getting at. I think that the Israel of Scripture and the modern nation of Israel have one thing in common: the same name. In Him, Doc |

4545 | Does Heb.8:13 say N.Cov. hasn't started? | Heb 8:13 | DocTrinsograce | 135083 | ||
The New Covenant was consumated with Christ's death. A testament -- as we call them -- is ineffective until the death of the testator. Upon the death of the testator, the testament kicks into action and its various terms are set into motion. | ||||||
4546 | New Covenant beginning | Heb 8:13 | DocTrinsograce | 240010 | ||
Hi, Moving... Welcome to the forum! We call it the New Testament because it is the New Covenant (Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 12:24; etc.) In Him, Doc |

4548 | why did jesus have to die for us | Heb 9:22 | DocTrinsograce | 135837 | ||
Welcome to the forum, Andrew! These are good questions. Jesus Christ paid the price that we could not pay. Paul tells us, "The wages of sin is death." If Christ had not died for us, than we would have to die for ourselves, and suffer eternal damnation. Christ saved us from the wrath of God, which is what we deserved. There was, indeed, a contract. It is called a "covenant" in biblical terms. The covenant was between God and man. Because Adam chose to break the contract, sin became a part of human nature. In addition, we have violated the covenant as well, by disobeying God ourselves. Through the atonement of Jesus Christ, a holy, just God is fully satisfied. Keep studying, son. There is a language (or jargon, if you will) to all of this. Keep asking questions. Keep attending a good Bible believing church. In Him, Doc "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life." (Romans 5:6-10) |

4549 | reference to praying for the dead | Heb 9:27 | DocTrinsograce | 126405 | ||
I can't find anything in scripture that instructs us to prayer for the dead. The only example where we have prayer associated with dead people is in those rare cases where Christ or an apostle prayed and life was restored. My brother died of lung cancer at 42. Often I have thanked the Lord that my brother is now in the bossom of Abraham. I often think, "What joy, to actually behold the Object of our adoration!" and that causes me to thank and praise God all over again. I find the scriptures rife with prayers for the living and injunctions on us to pray for the living. I'd have to say that that was the emphasis of scripture. |

4550 | What happens when a believer dies? | Heb 9:27 | DocTrinsograce | 128399 | ||
The believer does not face judgement. For the believer, judgement has already occured! It occured at Calvary. Upon death, we go directly to be with our Lord. 2 Cor 5:8 "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." | ||||||
4551 | do those in Sheol get a second chance | Heb 9:27 | DocTrinsograce | 151000 | ||
Hi, KDG... Scripture does not support the idea that the dead have a "second chance." Indeed, Scripture teaches that redemption is only possible for the living. See also the Parable of Dives and Lazarus in Luke 16. In Him, Doc |

4555 | before Jesus,whered the dead go? | Heb 9:27 | DocTrinsograce | 236565 | ||
Hi, bevr... Welcome to the forum! In Adam's sin, all of his descendants shared his guilt (Romans 5:12). There is no other way to salvation than through the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). Before the time of Christ, those saved did not know His name, nonetheless, they were saved through Christ's atonement alone (cf Hebrews 10-11). There were some teachings by Medieval Church and some contemporary Dispensationalists that there was an interim holding place for the dead. However, that doctrine is not taught in Scripture. And, yes, Adam and some other predeluvian people did, indeed, live in excess of nine centuries. In Him, Doc |

4556 | Praying for the dead? | Heb 9:27 | DocTrinsograce | 238530 | ||
Hi, Creekrat... Welcome to the forum! Since after death comes judgment, it would be pointless to pray for the dead. The dead are in a condition of judgment that cannot be changed, improved, or mitigated. For the saved, they are in glory, blessed beyond anything we might conceive. For the lost, they are in condemnation, cursed beyond anything we might conceive. God's dealing with both of these groups of people is perfect, just, and right. There is nothing in it that is deficient or inadequate. Indeed, praying for them would be implying that God should or ought to do something differently than that which He has done; i.e., it is to impute to Him something less than perfection. If we are to intercede, let us intercede for the living, that they might repent and submit to the Lord God their creator. In Him, Doc |

4557 | what happen to us as soon as we die? | Heb 9:27 | DocTrinsograce | 239233 | ||
Hi, Lady... Welcome to the forum! I am glad that you are asking a Bible Study Forum about this, rather than looking to some dimwit's account of an experience. I am encouraged by your understanding that our only certain source of knowledge about this is the Scripture. Well done, ma'am! Please see 2 Corinthians 5:8 and Hebrews 9:27. In Him, Doc |

4558 | for man to die once | Heb 9:27 | DocTrinsograce | 240636 | ||
Hi, Robby... Welcome to the forum! A good summation of this verse (Hebrews 9:27) came from John Gill who wrote, "There is a particular judgment which is immediately after death; by virtue of which, the souls of men are condemned to their proper state of happiness or woe; and there is an universal judgment, which will be after the resurrection of the dead, and is called eternal judgment, and to come; this is appointed by God, though the time when is unknown to men; yet nothing is more certain, and it will be a righteous one."

4560 | Shadow of things to come? | Heb 10:1 | DocTrinsograce | 165001 | ||
Hi, winningside... These passages speak of the our relationship to the law. The writer of Hebrews makes very similar statements in Hebrews 8:5 and 10:1. Even some of our practices today are simply "foreshadowing" of what is to be realized in glory. In Him, Doc |
