Hi Truthseeker: These were the results: ***Life argues that describing events in this order without outside influence is comparable to randomly selecting ten numbered blocks out of a box, and getting them in order: a 1 in 3,628,800 chance. Firstly, I submit that the two situations are not analagous, because there is clearly information in the list of 10 items that obviously suggest ordering. For example, item number one ("a beginning") must obviously come first. This immediately reduces the odds to 1 in 362,880. Similarly, "land plants" must logically come after "large areas of dry land". *** Hope it is what you sought God Bless you, -Kathy |

23 | How would you apply Deuteronomy 29:29? | Numbers | khuck | 104215 | ||
Glory A New Covenant Deut 29:29 2 Cor 3 7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious. 12 Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech-- 13 unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. 14 But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. 15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. 16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. Noble may I humbly say this is how I apply the first. -kathy |

Hi jm Yes I did in fact answer your questions, (possibly just not to your satisfaction) Jesus could be tempted because He was a man. God is not a man that He can be tempted. (That was part of my answer along with other expoundings that I included in my second post to you) You said: But what my question is that at James 1:13 it says that "God cannot be tempted with evil" but Jesus was. So how can he be God? I answered: Jesus was in fact God and could be tempted and that was due to the different persons of God the Father and God the Son. James is speaking of the Father. In Hebrews Paul is Speaking of the Son. (Maybe this is too complex for you to understand, but there is a difference because The Father is Spirit, Jesus was a man filled with the Spirit of God, as all Christians are of course, and He was conceived or born by the Spirit, which all true Christians are. This being true, He was in fact exemplifying that we too have the ability to resist satan, and keep our allegiance to God. You said how can He be God if He was able to be tempted? I answered, it is because He put aside that Deity and was born to the virgin to come in the flesh he became a man. Therefore we are no longer speaking of God the Father, now we are examining God the Son. As far as your second question I also answered; You ask: When Jesus was tempted to see if he would worship the devil what was his test to see if he was loyal too? Loyal to himself since he is God? Of course the Son's allegiance once again is to the Father, therefore He showed us when we are tempted that we can overcome by the word, His obedience to God showed that He was a LOYAL friend to those who believe on Him, because He laid down His life for His friends. Therefore all that He endured, including the many temptations, proves the Son's obedience and allegiance to the Father, also His loyalty and love for you an I is why He endured all of it. He counts us as His friends when we accept Him and live these truths in His exemplary life. So those are in fact "my" answers. I do not know what else you seek in these questions, but maybe someone else will be able to expand beyond my 3 post. I have no other answers. If you seek to prove that Jesus was not God, then I cannot co-sign that fallacy for you, because scripture proves otherwise. With much Love to you In Him, -Kathy |

Hi jm, Do not discount the fact that Jesus was a man. God the Father is a Spiritual Being, but Jesus was God in the flesh, therefore he experienced what we experienced. He knows our sorrows and feeling of rejection. He knows physical pain, and even emotional pain, remember how He wept. He came to fulfill the Law, and no other man could possibly accomplish that. Most importantly, His behavior was to be an example to the believer. In the flesh He triumphed not on God's behalf, but for your sake and mine. -Kathy |

26 | In Gen 3:9 what is meant ,where are you. | Josh 7:19 | khuck | 104115 | ||
God being know all things, of course knew where Adam was and he knew what had transpired. He is calling out to Adam, proclaiming "what have you done!? What has become of you!?" Of course God knew. Of course Adam had fallen into temptation, to the devils scheme. He was requiring of this man to explain his spiritual condition and not his physical location. Sometime we often try to hide our sins from The Father Who already knows all about us. Yet it is often that our guilt will cause us to flee from his presents. If we continue without repentance it only serves to move us further from the One who saves us from our sin. Therefore we would do well to confess our sin, and repent. Immediately see Gen 4:9 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" And he said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?" Cain showed no repentance and of course God already knew what had happened. Joshua 7:19 Then Joshua said to Achan, "My son, I implore you, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and give praise to Him; and tell me now what you have done. Do not hide it from me." God already knows our condition, will we admit it and repent? -Kathy |

27 | Kathy, Is "Lifting His name" Biblical? | John 12:32 | khuck | 103946 | ||
REPOST This was lost in another thread same subject: I humbly offer this post in peace and graciousness: What if it can be proven that both translations are correct? It took some homework but if I translate the Greek correctly, I think we are all looking through God's same window and just admiring different parts of the view. John12:32 Lifted up from the earth - This is a Hebraism which signifies dying. Death in general is all that is usually imported. But our Lord made use of this phrase, rather than others that were equivalent, because it so well suited the particular manner of his death. I will draw all men - Gentiles as well as Jews. And those who follow my drawings, Satan shall not be able to keep. John 8:28 -Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man: Greek Lexicon - When ye have lifted up the Son of man: (otan upswshte ton uion tou antrwpou). otan: when, whenever, as long as, as soon as Indefinite temporal clause with otan (ote "plus" an) and the first aorist active subjunctive of upsow, to lift up (Koine verb from upsov, height), used several times in John of the Cross of Christ (3:14; 8:28; 12:32,34). It is unnecessary to render the aorist subjunctive as if a future perfect, simply "whenever ye lift up" (actually lift up, ingressive aorist). In Acts 2:33 the verb is used of the Ascension. otan: when, whenever, as long as, as soon as So this translates in more than one way - It can be said: Jesus therefore said, "When, whenever, as long as, as soon as , ye have lifted up the Son of man John 12:32 Greek Lexicon - And I, if I be lifted from the earth (kagw an upswtw ek thv ghv). an: case, 1; everyone, 1; except, 1; if, 2; or, 1; though, 2; unless, 34; whatever, 22; when, 2; whenever, 2; wherever, 8; whether, 1; whoever, 17; whomever, 2; upswtw (upsow):That he may exalt you upsow:That he may exalt you (ina upswshi). Purpose clause with ina and first aorist active subjunctive of upsow So this translates in more than one way - It can be said: Whenever, wherever, however that you may exalt Him from the earth. I hope this will shed some light -Kathy |

28 | Kathy, Is "Lifting His name" Biblical? | John 12:32 | khuck | 103940 | ||
Searcher... I say a lot of things that are not in the "Bible" when I witness, like: -Let go and let God! -He's an on time God, He may not come when you want Him but He's always right on time! -God has smiled on me. But because they are not in the "Bible" does not make these phrases non-"Biblical" principles If you check all of my post to the thread, you will find that you have not referenced any verse of scripture to me that I did not already reference, post and agree to. And if you have truly read all of my post regarding this subject, then you ,know exacly what I mean and know that it is in fact very "Biblical". That is like me asking you how can you use the words "Biblical or Bible"... since they are found nowhere in scripture". (smile) Therefore I ask you, why do you ask me in effect: "Kathy, Where does the Bible mention "Exalting His Name" ... Why do you say "Lord I Exalt Your Name" ... what is the Biblical source? In the greek translation that is exactly what is meant by what I wrote. My answer to you is there is no other Name by which a person can be saved. Demons tremble at the sound of that name. It is a Name above all others and yes I exalt Him and I magnify the Name which is high above all names. I think that is pretty scriptural. Now being that I realize the perceived history between you and I, this will be my final response to you on the subject. I pray God's Peace thrives between us, -Kathy Now |

29 | Is lifting His name related to this vs? | John 12:32 | khuck | 103883 | ||
If I be lifted up... If I be exalted! Both are true, the verse does signify the manner in which our Lord should die, but it also means so much more. I am lifting His Name and exalting Him daily. Now I lift Him up in my praises of Him before a lost and dying world. COMMENTARY: ***What he meant by this, to prevent mistake, we are told (v. 33): This he spoke signifying by what death he should die, the death of the cross, though they had designed and attempted to stone him to death. He that was crucified was first nailed to the cross, and then lifted up upon it. He was lifted up as a spectacle to the world; lifted up between heaven and earth, as unworthy of either; yet the word here used signifies an honourable advancement, ean hypsotho — If I be exalted; he reckoned his sufferings his honour. _______________________________ ***Verses 32, 33 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself. But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die. As Dr. Baxter wrote: It is difficult to realize the tremendous faith which this expression reflects. We hear these words through nineteen centuries of Christian history which followed them; but, when Jesus made the statement here, there was little visible evidence to make anyone believe that these words might literally come true. It must have seemed to those who heard it the most presumptuous statement ever made. Lifted up ... See under John 3:14. The primary reference of this is to Jesus' death by being lifted up upon the cross; but the words suggest other truth also. Christ was lifted up from the grave; he was lifted up into heaven; he has been lifted up in the hearts of men by the preaching of the gospel in all ages since then. Draw all men unto myself ... He draws men in that he alone loved men sufficiently to die for them, in that he is the only true revelation of God, in that he is the only perfect soul who ever lived on earth, and in that he alone is the satisfaction of the soul's deepest desires. The glorious manner in which the daring words of this prophecy have been fulfilled defies explanation. Jesus of Nazareth is the most conspicuous and the mightiest of all the personalities ever to make themselves known on earth; and, in the last decade alone, there have been more beautiful buildings constructed and dedicated to the honor and worship of Jesus Christ throughout the world than have been constructed and dedicated to any one hundred of the greatest kings and rulers who ever lived; and still Jesus marches on! *** Lord I lift Your Name on High! -Kathy |

30 | Holy Spirit question on mysterious ways | Bible general Archive 2 | khuck | 103877 | ||
Hi Cliff, This is the only thing that I found to be comparable to your request. I hope it is of some help. Romans 11:33-36 (Amplified) Speaking of God - Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unfathomable (inscrutable, unsearchable) are His judgments (His decisions)! And how untraceable (mysterious, undiscoverable) are His ways (His methods, His paths)! For who has known the mind of the Lord and who has understood His thoughts, or who has [ever] been His counselor? Or who has first given God anything that he might be paid back or that he could claim a recompense? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. [For all things originate with Him and come from Him; all things live through Him, and all things center in and tend to consummate and to end in Him.] To Him be glory forever! Amen (so be it). -khuck |

31 | It isn't right to eat pig is it? | 1 Tim 4:4 | khuck | 103807 | ||
Hi Sissy, The Levitical law that requires Jews to refrain from eating certain foods and to worship in various ways were Laws given to them as "God's chosen people." Yet we in Christ have been set free, because He fulfilled the Law and we are "Gods Children" we are not justified by these levitical laws, but we are justified by Faith. Paul is very specific in his warning that if you follow the law you will be judged by it. Christ is the only one who ever lived that was able to keep it. James further warns that if you stumble in following any point of the law you have broken all of it. One of The Law's purposes in the life of a Christian is to expose our sins, to show the wretched state we were in and how such a great love saved us. The Word states that ALL have sinned and fallen short of God's glory. Therefore Makarios and Steve are right to tell you of the freedoms given to you by way of the New Covenant which is by the blood of Jesus. Galatians 5 Freedom in Christ 1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. 4 You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. 5 But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. James 2 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. 11 For he who said, "Do not commit adultery,"also said, "Do not murder."If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker. 12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment! Romans 2 12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. Romans 7 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from law, sin is dead. 9 Once I was alive apart from law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. Hope this helps and not cause more confusion on the topic. For me it boils down to Old Covenant and New Covenant. God's Peace to you, -khuck |

32 | Question on Matthew 16:28 | Mark 9:1 | khuck | 103685 | ||
***Coffman -Verse 28 Verily I say unto you, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Mark's account of this statement is, "Verily I say unto you, there are some here of them that stand by, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power" (Mark 9:1). Both the Herald and Christ preached the kingdom as "at hand." The passage here supplemented that information by making it certain to appear during the lives of "some" of the apostles. Why not merely "during their lives?" that is, the lives of all of them? That was because both Judas and Christ would die before the kingdom came. Thus, the words are circumstantially accurate and precise. Incidental to the assertion here, but inherent in it due to the terminology used, is the revelation that the kingdom would not be set up during the personal ministry of Christ, but afterwards. The kingdom did appear on the day of Pentecost, during the lives of "some" of them, just as Jesus had said. The reference to the kingdom in the passage here makes its establishment in the future; but after the day of Pentecost, all references to God's kingdom are in the present tense, speaking of it as a reality, or in the past tense, making it already in existence. See Colossians 1:13; Hebrews 12:28; Revelation 1:9 for examples of this. Remember that the church and the kingdom are one. This chapter brings us to the heart of Matthew's gospel. Christ's deity was recognized and confessed. Satan's effort to thwart the crucifixion was countermanded (even though suggested by Peter), and the cross of Jesus was made central in his holy religion. The outline of the passion and resurrection, as well as a revealing glimpse of the day of judgment, are given by Christ in this portion of his word. This chapter has been called the hub of the gospel of Matthew. *** ***Gil - till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom; which is not to be understood of his personal coming in his kingdom in the last day, when he will judge quick and dead; for it cannot be thought, that any then present should live to that time, but all tasted of death long before, as they have done; for the story of John's being alive, and to live till then, is fabulous, and grounded on a mistake which John himself has rectified at the close of his Gospel: nor of the glorious transfiguration of Christ, the account of which immediately follows; when he was seen by Peter, James, and John, persons now present; for that, at most, was but an emblem and a pledge of his future glory: rather, of the appearance of his kingdom, in greater glory and power, upon his resurrection from the dead, and his ascension to heaven; when the Spirit was poured down in an extraordinary manner, and the Gospel was preached all over the world; was confirmed by signs and wonders, and made effectual to the conversion and salvation of many souls; which many then present lived to see, and were concerned in: though it seems chiefly to have regard to his coming, to show his regal power and authority in the destruction of the Jews; when those his enemies that would not he should reign over them, were ordered to be brought and slain before him; and this the Apostle John, for one, lived to be a witness of. *** -khuck |

33 | are we allowed to drink alcohol. | Bible general Archive 2 | khuck | 103675 | ||
There is no prohibition in real terms but many warnings: But one should never be a drunkard. Ephesians 5:18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. 1 Timothy 5:23 Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses. 1 Timothy 3:8 Deacons, likewise, are to be men worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise. Proverbs 31:4 "It is not for kings, O Lemuel- not for kings to drink wine, not for rulers to crave beer, Titus 2:3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Romans 14:1 Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. 2 One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3 The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. 5 One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. 19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. 20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. 21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother to fall. 22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself by what he approves. 23 But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin. |

34 | Who should I pray to most--God or Jesus? | Phil 2:10 | khuck | 103673 | ||
Jesus gave the example of how we should pray in Matt 6:9-15. "This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. I personal pray to God The Father, for the above reasons. As I pray I keep in mind that the Lord Jesus said that we ask our petitions in His (Jesus') Name. Yet on the otherhand I believe that it is not wrong to ask things of the Lord Jesus is prayer either: John 14:10-14 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. -khuck |

Dear Robert Sometimes I feel like I am in the middle of it all too. Without any provocation, some of my responses get attacked right out of left field. (LOL) But you know what, keep right on loving and living for Jesus anyway. Just take heart and know that you did not cause any riff or ugliness on this forum, by asking a question. (that is how I always look at it) It is on the responder and what is in his/her heart as to how he/she will respond to you. I was once told, that is you are a Christian and everything is hunky-dory all of the time; then it is time to re-access. If the enemy is not attacking you, it re-evaluation time LOL. Besides we have no qualms with the people on this forum, because our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Hi FytRobert, Eph 6:5-9 Slaves and Masters Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free. And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.
