61 | Understanding Psalms 45 | John 1:1 | Glory Bound | 129772 | ||
Here is what Matthew Henry states concerning Ps 45. I can think of no better way to put it. Psalms 45 - This psalm is an illustrious prophecy of Messiah the Prince: it is all over gospel, and points at him only, as a bridegroom espousing the church to himself and as a king ruling in it and ruling for it. It is probable that our Saviour has reference to this psalm when he compares the kingdom of heaven, more than once, to a nuptial solemnity, the solemnity of a royal nuptial, Mat_22:2; Mat_25:1. We have no reason to think it has any reference to Solomon's marriage with Pharaoh's daughter; if I thought that it had reference to any other than the mystical marriage between Christ and his church, I would rather apply it to some of David's marriages, because he was a man of war, such a one as the bridegroom here is described to be, which Solomon was not. But I take it to be purely and only meant of Jesus Christ; of him speaks the prophet this, of him and of no other man; and to him (Psa_45:6, Psa_45:7) it is applied in the New Testament (Heb_1:8), nor can it be understood of any other. The preface speaks the excellency of the song (Psa_45:1). The psalm speaks, I. Of the royal bridegroom, who is Christ. 1. The transcendent excellency of his person (Psa_45:2). 2. The glory of his victories (Psa_45:3-5). 3. The righteousness of his government (Psa_45:6, Psa_45:7). 4. The splendour of his court (Psa_45:8, Psa_45:9). II. Of the royal bride, which is the church. 1. Her consent gained (Psa_45:10, Psa_45:11). 2. The nuptials solemnized (Psa_45:12-15). 3. The issue of this marriage (Psa_45:16, Psa_45:17). In singing this psalm our hearts must be filled with high thoughts of Christ, with an entire submission to and satisfaction in his government, and with an earnest desire of the enlarging and perpetuating of his church in the world. To the chief musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil. A song of loves. GB |

62 | is jesus god | John 1:1 | Glory Bound | 129648 | ||
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. Who is "The Father" if not God? Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one. Do you still need to ask that question? Actually He is not god. He is God. The God. The one and only God of gods and King of kings. GB |

63 | Is Jesus being called God or a God? | John 1:1 | Glory Bound | 129647 | ||
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:1-4 Our savior said in John 10:30, I and my Father are one. My friend, your friend "the Jehovah's Witnesses" is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He may seem sincere, but it is of a certainty that if he is a JW, he has been thoroughly brainwashed. If you do not wish to be done likewise, avoid any discussion of scripture with him. Jesus stated the above. He also told Phillip when he had asked him to show them the Father "Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?" John 14:9 My advise is that anyone who is not thoroughly familiar with scripture on a first hand basis, "not someone else's teachings on scripture," avoid any discussions with JW concerning scripture, for they are so sly and, no matter how wise you may consider yourself, they will have your mind so confused, you will not even know what has gotten hold of you. And believe me... what gets hold of you will not be something spoken kindly of in scripture... They can, and would confuse even the elect, if it were possible. Dear friend. Scriptural debates are enlightening and uplifting. That is IF they are among believers, "for where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."Mat 18:20 Until you are thoroughly prepared with the full armor of God, stick to the Christian camp Dear Soul, or you will be ravaged by the wolves.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. GB |

65 | What are ways to stay free from strife? | 2 Tim 2:15 | Glory Bound | 129576 | ||
Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. GB |

66 | Why did David use five stones? | 1 Sam 17:40 | Glory Bound | 129388 | ||
I believe your answer is best stated by Matthew Henry. But what arms and ammunition is David furnished with? Truly none but what he brought with him as a shepherd; no breastplate, nor corselet, but his plain shepherd's coat; no spear, but his staff; no sword nor bow, but his sling; no quiver, but his scrip; nor any arrows, but, instead of them, five smooth stones picked up out of the brook, 1Sa_17:40. By this it appeared that "his confidence was purely in the power of God," and not in any sufficiency of his own, and that now at length he who put it into his heart to fight the Philistine put it into his head with what weapons to do it. I would say that David chose five stones because he thought "he" might miss. It only took one, because he was was doing Gods will. Perhaps as we often do, even David doubted his own strength in faith. GB |

67 | "my tribulations...are your glory" | Eph 3:13 | Glory Bound | 128856 | ||
Jesus' suffering resulting from oppression or persecution and Calvary where His victory was sealed once and for all. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, When we consider the rejection and denial He endured, we should not loose heart. Likewise, when we ourselves endure such from our bretheren, we should think back to what He went through. GB |

69 | can you lose it? | Heb 6:4 | Glory Bound | 128840 | ||
Yes, yet for every passage which appears to teach such, I have found that there is another passage which appears to teach once saved always saved (which I personally do not believe in.) Am I saying that scripture contradicts itself? No. What I am saying is that that there is much which I do not understand, so because of the realization of this fact I personally lean on Proverbs 3:5 I attest that though many insist on trying to support their personal view concerning this matter, their arguments for or against serve only to farther divide and confuse.

70 | Will wayward christians be forgiven? | Heb 6:4 | Glory Bound | 128839 | ||
Heb 6:4 is not a supposition, but a plain relation of fact. The apostle here describes the case of those who have cast away both the power and the form of godliness; who have lost both their faith, hope, and love, Heb 6:10, and that wilfully, Heb 10:26. Of these wilful total apostates he declares, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance. (though they were renewed once,) either to the foundation, or anything built thereon. Seeing they crucify the Son of God afresh - They use him with the utmost indignity. And put him to an open shame - Causing his glorious name to be blasphemed. Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, Heb 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

71 | once saved always saved? | 2 Tim 4:18 | Glory Bound | 128836 | ||
Personally I have always leaned against believing once saved always saved, yet I can provide just as many scriptural passages for "once saved, always saved" as I can against it. My determination concerning the thought is that it is a dangerous belief, thus through the Grace of God I am going to do my best to live as His word tells me I should, and when such questions as yours arise, I will lean on Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil." GB |

72 | People want answers! | Prov 3:5 | Glory Bound | 128760 | ||
If you are looking to man for an "absolute" answer, you are looking in the wrong place. Get into the word. It will get into you... This is a promise. GB |

73 | Proverbs 3:5-6 ; in a relationship | Prov 3:5 | Glory Bound | 128758 | ||
Some trust in science. Many trust in their own abilities. Some would have you believe that they must understand what scripture says before they can accept the truth thereof. The truth is that if this were true, they most assuredly would not be using a computer, telephone, or even a light bulb. They are fooling only themselves. When I simply do not understand something, Proverbs 3:5-7 is my rock. Inevitably, if it is important, the Holy Spirit reveals it. Sometimes it is years before I get the answer that I thought I needed so much. One show of faith is in a Christian’s adherence to Pro 3:5. God Bless GB |

74 | Were angels created on day 2 or 3? | Prov 3:5 | Glory Bound | 128752 | ||
Dear soul, you may wish to turn to the following passage for your answer to this question, for there is no other answer that is scriptural. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: Proverbs 3:5-7 In Christ and His word GB |

75 | Christians before Jesus came | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 128733 | ||
Though some will surely profess otherwise, the truth of the matter is that there were NO Christians before Jesus. The word "khris-tee-an-os'", or as translated from the Greek, “Christian,” means follower of Christ. Before Christ, there were no "followers of Christ." According to the book of Acts, the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. In scripture, this is the first mention of the pronoun, Christian. The only 3 occurrances are in Act_11:26; Act_26:28; and 1Pe_4:16; As to how people were saved prior to Jesus' sacrifice; I have done no in depth study on the matter, but from what I have read in scripture, it boiled down to living right, sacrificing and obeying the word of God. Isn't that what it is all about in the first place, obeying the word? Jesus was and is the word. GB |
