161 | Is infant baptism Biblical? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 5662 | ||
You should seek to be rebaptized if that is what the Holy Spirit is telling you to do. We can hear and know God's voice (John 10:27). Paul rebaptized the disciples in Corinth in Acts 19. They were NOT new believers, but were already believing (vs 2). If rebaptizing was wrong, Paul would not have done so. Jesus is Lord! |

163 | TRINITY | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 4234 | ||
Please follow, if you will, in this illustration of the Trinity in God’s Word. Gen 18:1 Then the LORD appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. Gen 18:2 So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, Gen 18:3 and said, "My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant. Notice verse 1 says the Lord appeared to Abraham, but verse 2 says Abraham saw THREE men, but in verse 3 Abraham addressed the three men as one, and as my Lord (not lords) ! Gen 18:9 Then they said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?" So he said, "Here, in the tent." Gen 18:10 And He said, "I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son." Notice in verse 9 the three men ask a question as if one person is speaking, but in verse 10 the reply to Abraham is from the Lord! Gen 18:20 And the LORD said, "Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave, Gen 18:21 "I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know." Gen 18:22 Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the LORD. Notice verse 21 says The Lord would go down to Sodom, but in verse 22 the men go. But guess what?, only 2 of the 3 men actually go (Gen 19:1). Verse 22 says Abraham was still standing before the LORD! Gen 18:33 So the LORD went His way as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place. Notice when the Lord had went His way, Abraham was apparently alone. What happened to the third “man.” I believe this is Gods illustration of the Trinity. I know others will disagree, but I believe God manifested Himself to Abraham as three different men, yet He spoke and acted as one. When two of the “men” left, God was still there, yet also headed for Sodom! When someone ask to explain the Trinity, I will turn to Genius chapter 18! This is a much better illustration than anything I could come up with! THE WORD IS AWESOME!! Jesus Lives! |

164 | Didn't Jesus use the Septuagint? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 4232 | ||
If Jesus and the Apostles used the Septuagint, we can be sure the Apocrypha is NOT God’s Word, rather than think it might be. Why? Because they never taught out of it, even tho it was available. The Jews had already rejected the Apocrypha. Jesus must have agreed, because He never spoke out against the Jews rejection of it. If the Jews had been wrong in rejecting the Apocrypha, Jesus would have spoke out against the Jews rejection of God’s Word. The Holy Spirit does not allow or disallow anyone to believe the Apocrypha as inspired. Romans 8:14 says “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” Notice we are to be “led by the Spirit”, we are not pushed. If we chose to follow false doctrine, we are going down the road we chose, not a path the Holy Spirit pushed us down. Jesus Lives! |

165 | ... | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 4063 | ||
For me it is based on the use of "you" and "thee" as you said. I do not know Greek (except salad and boklava!) but the Greek for "you" (KJV and NASB) in verse 31 is "humas" (accusative case?). The Greek for "thee/you" (KJV/NASB) in verse 32 is "sou" (genitive case?). So there is a difference. Maybe you or someone that knows Greek could tell us the difference in the two. Thanks, Jesus Lives! |

166 | 1Corinthians questions: Gifts and women | 1 Corinthians | retxar | 3873 | ||
I am probably not of Pentecostal faith as your are thinking of, but I do speak in tongues and hopefully within the guidelines set forth in Scripture. I am actually of a Southern Baptist background (BELIEVE IT OR NOT!). So I guess you could call me “Bapti-costal”! Am I a nut. Yes! But not because I speak in tongues! I believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as Jesus promised in Acts1. That promise bore witness as being true thru out Acts (2,8,10,11,19). I believe it is still true today and is verified by the initial evidence of speaking in tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterance. Can speaking in tongues be faked? Yes! Can Jesus’s words in Act1:8 be faked? No! By their fruits you will know them (Matt 7:20). I believe all spiritual gifts will last till Jesus comes back, and none are excluded (1Cor1:7). 1 Cor 14 does not forbid tongues (vs39) in any way, either now or then. It only gives guidelines on how they are to used in public worship. 1. Tongues spoken for the congregation to hear, must be interpreted (vs28). Notice the un-interpreted tongue speaker is not disallowed to speak, but must speak to God and himself, not to the congregation. 2. Who should interpret? The tongue speaker themself (Vs13). Could that have been what happened in the Church you mentioned? Maybe, maybe not, but it seems strange for a man to declare God’s guidelines before the congregation, and them deliberately disobey and be subject to their ridicule. 3. Why must tongues spoken to the congregation be interpreted? For the benefit and protection of the uninformed and the unbelievers (vs23). Uninterprettd, the sign to the uninformed or the unbelievers (vs22) would NOT be a sign of edification, as would occur with interpretation (vs5). They would scoff and the Holy Spirit would be mocked (Acts2:13) and it would become a sign of judgement. The Isaiah quote bears this out. 4. What would be a true interpretation of a message in tongues to the congregation be? A message of man to God not God to man (vs2,16). In other words it will be thanks and praise not prophesy; not “Thus saith the Lord”. 5. Will proper us of tongues ever interrupt the teaching of the Word? NO! I do not think the Holy Spirit would interrupt Himself. 6. Can spiritual gifts be misused? OH YES! How? If they are not exercised in love (1Cor13:1-3). Example: Anyone with a I have, you have-not attitude. If they are exercised with pride instead of love. 7. Can tongues be used properly? YES! How? Personal prayer (vs14,15,Rom8:26) Build up your faith (vs4,18,Jude1:20). That the church may receive edification if interpreted (vs5). 8. Should we still hold true to what Paul says about women speaking in verse 33-35?. Jesus came to fulfill the law. One of the ways of fulfilling the Law was showing us Gods intentions, showing us Gods heart. Jesus told the Pharisees that an outward display of obedience was nothing, without an inward change of the heart. I think we have to look at this with Gods intent. If we imposes this as an outside display of obedience with no thought of God’s intent, we miss the point. I think we have to treat this in the newness of the Spirit, as Jesus taught, and not in the oldness of the letter (Rom7:6). The intent here was not to gag women, but to establish order in service. This addressed something that was causing disorder, just as the uncontrolled display of spiritual gifts was causing disorder. The theme of 1Cor14 is craptuted in verse 40, “so all things will be done decently and in order.” |

168 | But the older NASB did. Why? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 3817 | ||
Maybe because "thee" is not the same thing as "you" as we might think it is now. "Thee" (in the KJV) addresses only one person. "You" (in the KJV) addresses more than one person. We are not wired up to think that way now, but if we were it might would help us in Bible study. example: Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you (the disciples not just Peter), that he may sift you (the disciples), as wheat: Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee (Peter in particular), that thy faith (Peter's faith) fail not: and when thou (Peter) art converted, strengthen thy (Peter's)brethren. |

169 | Baptism question in Acts 2 and John 3 | Acts 2:39 | retxar | 3735 | ||
Acts 2:37-39 This refers to being baptized by the Holy Spirit into the Body of Christ upon salvation. (1Cor 12:13) John 3:4–6 Note Nicodemus's question's "How can a man be born again, or in other words a second time? Jesus answered the question just as He was asked, 1st be born of water, then of the Spirit. First of the flesh, then of the Spirit. |

170 | unlimited atonement? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 3719 | ||
I’m are not one (Arminians), never will be, but hears the way I see it. Jesus prayed for the Peter to not falter, even though He knew he would deny Him anyway. (Luke 22:32). Jesus prayed for the ones who crucified Him would be forgiven, even though He knew they would not repent (Luke 23:34). Jesus offered the rich man salvation, even though He knew he would reject it (Mark 10:21). If I offered you a gift I had no intention of giving you, or was not even available, even if I knew you would not accept it, I would be a lying. Isa 55:1, Luk3:6, Joh3:16, Acts2:21, Rom5:18, Rom10:13, 1Tim2:4, Titus2:11, 2Pe3:9, Rev22:7, Lie2 (lº) n. 1. A false statement presented as being true; a falsehood. 2. Something that deceives or give a wrong impression. God: 1. Perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship. 2. DOES NOT LIE!!!! |

171 | Is Interracial marriage Bible supported? | Num 12:1 | retxar | 3707 | ||
Num 12 answers this question for me. Aaron and Miriam spoke out against the marriage of Moses and a black lady from Ethiopia. This made God very angry. Look at verse 12 "Miriam became leprous, as WHITE AS SNOW." By the way, I don't think this was Zipporah because her father was Jethro, the priest of Midian. I suppose she could have been adopted though. | ||||||
172 | Bible study software suggestions, please | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 3698 | ||
I have used Logos, Bible Explorer, and e-Sword. I know nothing about Step. My ranking. 1. e-Sword 2. Bible Explorer 3. Logos e-Sword is a free download by the way (really no strings attached). It is written by a computer programer named Rick Meyers, who feels he should give the software away. He quotes "(Mat 10:8 ISV) "Without payment you have received; without payment you are to give.” Jesus told us that since we've been blessed we should bless others. For years I have been on the receiving end of His glorious riches, and I am happy to provide this blessing to others in the form of Bible software." of course he will accept a donation which I think anyone should give if they can afford.

178 | Favorite Bible study tools? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 3298 | ||
Thompson Chain Ref. Bible is my favorite Bible study tool because it contains no cometary at all and alows me to interpet God's Word with God's Word, as the Holy Spirit leads, as God planed (John 14:26). Don't get me wrong, I own and use comentarys, but be careful, even the best contain a few doctrinal slants some where or another. I don't think I could write a comentary myself without introducing some "opinions" of my own, as I think anyone would have a hard time not doing. I also use e-Sword Bible Software, which is free by the way (e-sword.net) which I prefer over Nelson and Bible Explorer (and is 300 dollars cheaper!). It has a download called Treasury of Scripture Knowledge that is a lot like the Thompson Chain Ref. that I like a lot. | ||||||
179 | 1Ki 7:23 apparent error measuring sea | 1 Kin 7:23 | retxar | 2496 | ||
Look down at verse 26 "It was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was shaped like the brim of a cup," A handbreath is about 3 inches and the brim of a cup is flared out, I would say at least an inch. The measurement from outside to outside of the brim was 10 cubits (about 180 inches). The circumference of the bowl would probally be taken from the inside. So lets do the math. Brim to brim is 180". Subtract the thickness twice (6 inches) we now have 174 inches. Subtract the flare twice (2 inches) we now have 172 inches. 3.14 (pi) x 172" is 540.08 inches. 30 cubits is about 540 inches!!! This is just over 1/16 of an inch of being right on!! I know of no building contractor anywhere that can measure something 45 feet long this close, let alone build it!! This is a powerful text to prove The Bible's accuracy, not it's error. | ||||||
180 | Stars do cease to exist...Isa 40:26? | Is 40:26 | retxar | 2446 | ||
Do stars really cease to exist? How do you know? I really don't know if they cease to exist or not. Anyway, even if they do, this verse does not say either way. It simple says "not one of them is missing" (faileth-KJV lacking-LITV). In another words, there under the control of God and not one gets lost and are all in the arrangement as God desires. | ||||||
