1 | Christ Sometimes Taught in Greek | Mark 12:30 | Daboniel | 126813 | ||
About the persecution of the Jews, I was reading in Revelation the other day and read: Rev 12:17 So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. I don't know about you, but I see the woman as Israel (Gen 37:9-10). And I think the devil hates Israel and breeds that hate in anyone he can. God Bless! dab |

2 | Connection between Daniel 9:11 and US? | Dan 9:11 | Daboniel | 123309 | ||
But do keep in mind: Rom 2:14 For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, Rom 2:15 in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, and: Rom 3:19 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God; I think ever since man fell and his eyes were opened and he knew good and evil, he has been under law. God Bless! dab |

3 | Scriptures did not say | Rom 8:13 | Daboniel | 121239 | ||
I said that BECAUSE it did not say it in the Bible. I think omissions count too, but when I used the phrase "in the Bible" or "in Acts" in this case, I meant it literally. We do not see it in the Bible, so I said it is not there. The order of thing is usually interesting too: #1 Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance. This was "what the Father had promised, "Which," He said, "you heard of from Me;" 1. They Believed 2. They were baptized, probably most of the them by John, (do you think they were re-baptized in Jesus' Name?) 3. Believed Jesus. 4. Had to wait until after the atonement of course. FILLED with the Spirit, tongues present. The gift of the Holy Spirit vs38. #2 Acts 8 (Samaria) 1.Believed 2.Baptized 3.RECEIVED the Spirit through laying on of hands (He had not yet FALLEN on them)later, Simon saw, not heard, that they received the Spirit. No tongues mentioned. (Why were they not considered gentiles? Were they all mixed Jews?) #3 Acts 9 (Paul) 1. Believed 2. Filled with the Holy Spirit (No tongues mentioned here though indeed Paul later refers to tongues.) 3. Baptized #4 Acts 10 Cornelius 1.Believed 2.Received the Spirit (Also He "fell on them". Like Pentecost, no laying on of hands) 3.Baptized Peter refers to Jesus's words in Acts one when relating this incident to Jews that needed convincing. Acts 1:5 and 11:16 are the only places the phrase "Baptism of the Holy Spirit" are used in Acts. #5 Acts 19 The Disciples of John 1. Believed and were baptized by John. 2. Believed Paul's Gospel 3. Rebaptized in Jesus' Name 4. Paul laid hands on them for them to received (since that's the terminology he used in vs 2) and the Spirit CAME ON THEM. Both tongues and prophesy were present. I think we need to be VERY careful about exceeding what is written (1Cor 4:6) because that is exactly how the pharisees began to be like: Matt 15:9 'But in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.' " To be fair to the Pharisees and Lawyers, they HAD to make judgements based on their understanding of the Law. When a situation arose, they would have to decide, say, if a man was breaking the sabbath or not. So they came up with a log of case law which resulted in a lot of their traditions, such as a "Sabbath day's journey". The problem was that they had put it on a par with what WAS written. I think many churches have done that in their lists of tenets and doctrines today. So tell me, if there is a doctrine not clearly and plainly stated in Scripture, should we actually make it a church tenet? The ones that are clearly and plainly stated are more than sufficent to separate the sheep from the goats. When we begin dividing further than that, are we becoming schismatic? The heretick in Titus 3:10 is literally a "schismatic", one who makes schism. Acts 1:5 and 11:16 are the last places the phrase "Baptism of the Holy Spirit" is used until the last place 1 Cor 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. And in those places it is where people: Received the gift of the Holy Spirit (The Promise!) The Holy Spirit fell on them The Holy Spirit came on them They were filled with the Holy Spirit The Spirit was poured forth Baptized in the Spirit Gifts Manifest Not to mention the other descriptive phrases used. I don't know if there is a limit on how long these responses can be, but I suspect I am pushing it and I don't want to. But I want to ask one more question; whom do you suppose is the recipient of a gift of healing, the one who lays on hands or the one healed? When I consider the Gifts of the Spirit, I cannot see a real distinction between an utterance of a word of wisdom and a gift of a word of wisdom, in which case the recipient is the hearer. I concede there is an office of a prophet, but isn't the prophecy itself the gift for the one to whom it is spoken? The Healing? The utterance in a tongue? The miracle? God Bless! dab (p.s. Thanks Hank and Leonore! And thanks to Lockman who provides a free downloadable NASB!) |

4 | filled with holy spirit? | Rom 8:13 | Daboniel | 121158 | ||
I do not think you can say what will happen when you are full of the Spirit because God is sovereign and different things happened in the Bible, but gifts and other manifestations often occured. In Acts 1:5 Jesus tells them of the promise of the BAPTISM of the Spirit, but when we get to Acts 2:4 it uses different terminology saying they were FILLED with the Spirit, although I think this was the same event. 1 Cor 12:13 says: "For by one Spirit we were ALL baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." The preposition is the same as Acts 1 "en", no difference between "in", "with", "of" or "by" in the Greek. In Acts, three times when people RECEIVED the Spirit they spoke in tongues, 2 times they did not. It was definitely a sign to the JEWS because it reads: 1 Cor 14:21 In the Law it is written, "By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, and even so they will not listen to Me," says the Lord. 1 Cor 14:22 So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy is for a sign, not to unbelievers but to those who believe. But that does not make it a sign to Gentiles OR believing Jews! 1Cor 12 and 14 demonstrate the diversity of what may happen with people full of His Spirit. But on Pentecost, some people thought they were BABBLING, others said: "we hear them in our own tongues speaking of the mighty deeds of God." (Praising!) The Gospel was not preached until Peter stood up and spoke, probably in Hebrew (which they all likely understood). I do not doubt that you could be experiencing the filling of the Holy Spirit while praising God and worshipping Him. But keep in mind, as C.S. Lewis once pointed out, that your "feelings" are the reaction of your flesh to a stimuli, and your flesh has a limited variety of responses and may react similarly to other stimuli as well. Enjoy the feelings! But don't let them distract you from the focus of your worship, Jesus Himself. And don't rely on them, because God is as powerfully present with you with or without them. I know that some have witnessed for Jesus and not realized how much the Spirit was on them until well after the fact because the Spirit may increase your focus to the task He has given you to that extent. Rom 8:9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. Ezek 36:26 "Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. Ezek 36:27 "I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances. Eph 5:18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, God Bless! dab |
