41 | physical resurrection | Ezek 37:1 | Arnie | 44901 | ||
Greetings Makarios, I would agree it was a vision, and a vision of the future as it certainly hasn't occurred yet. Why would this not be a vision of a literal physical resurrection?? Just as it reads. Arnie Arnie |

42 | physical resurrection | Ezek 37:1 | Arnie | 44910 | ||
Greetings Markarios, You didn't say what the problems are. "There are many problems and challenges when you take this vision to mean a literal, physical resurrection of the bodies." |

43 | physical resurrection | Ezek 37:1 | Arnie | 44924 | ||
Dear Markarios, I doubt if I could answer satisfactoraly the problems and challanges that you stated, but let me try, I'll start with the easest one, #3. (in verse's 12 , 14)now they will have God's Spirit in them so they now will have their first chance for salvation. without God's spirit we are lost and without hope. #2. "Ezekials own explanation" I'm not sure what you mean by this, I don't see an explanation by Ezekiel of the vision, he simply made a statement of the vision he had. #1 , #4 are basically the same question Rev 20 helps explain the resurrections, 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection After the thousand year reign "The rest of the dead lived" The first resurrection was a spiritual resurrection, they received their reward. This is another resurrection, (the rest of the dead) I believe God's plan of salvation must give every creature a chance for salvation, not only for Israel but for all mankind, there must be a day of salvation for those who didn't have their first one. I believe Ezekiel 37 is an indication of just that. Arnie |

Dan 10:12-13 12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. 13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

45 | is it the antichrist or catholicism? | Matt 24:5 | Arnie | 47011 | ||
If Matt 24 parallels Rev 6, the "White Horse" is someone coming in the name of Christ and deceiving many. Matt 24:4-5 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. KJV Arnie |

47 | When do we understand the scriptures? | Luke 24:45 | Arnie | 41835 | ||
Christ was with His disciples three and a half years teaching the good news of the gospel. Although they knew He was the Christ, (Luke 9:20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. KJV) It appears they did not understand the gospel until the end of the three and a half years. Luke 24:44-45 44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. 45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, KJV At what point does Christ give us understanding of the scriptures?

48 | Crucified with Christ | Luke 24:45 | Arnie | 41984 | ||
Scott, Thanks for the reply, would you say we are crucified with Christ when we come to the point of repentance? | ||||||
49 | Crucified with Christ | Luke 24:45 | Arnie | 42165 | ||
Scott, yes it is, The problem I have is just as we are crucified with Christ on the cross, I find I keep wanting to come down off the cross and do my own will, or when we are baptized in to His death, I want to keep coming up out of the water. But thanks be to Christ and to God our Father for their long suffering toward me, and the grace I have been given. I believe we come to start understanding His will when we are ready to give up this life at repentance, come to realize that our natural mind will only bring damnation, and accept the very mind of Christ in us.

50 | What is special about "logos" (Word)? | John 1:1 | Arnie | 46973 | ||
Hank, The Greek philosophers and Jews, (Christians as well) all used the term for their source of Truth. I like Vincents article (New Testament Word Studies) on "logos", he brings to light the term and it's varied uses. John 1:1 After the Babylonish captivity the Jewish doctors combined into one view the theophanies, prophetic revelations and manifestations of Jehovah generally, and united them in one single conception, that of a permanent agent of Jehovah in the sensible world, whom they designated by the name [Memra] ("word," logos (NT:3056)) of Jehovah......... .....But John's doctrine is not Philo's, and does not depend upon it. The differences between the two are pronounced. Though both use the term Logos, they use it with utterly different meanings. In John it signifies "word," as in Holy Scripture generally; in Philo, "reason;" and that so distinctly that when Philo wishes to give it the meaning of word, he adds to it by way of explanation, the term reema (NT:4487), "word."

51 | What's God's "Plan of Salvation"? | John 3:5 | Arnie | 110780 | ||
The bible teaches that Christ is certainly the "Whole" of God's plan of salvation for mankind. Do we need anything else?? The Holy Spirit, Faith, Love, Obedience, we need all of these but are they not only possible for us but by Christ. |

52 | U r saved, can u lose ur salavation? | John 5:24 | Arnie | 41994 | ||
Jess, What do you mean when you say "saved" Once you accept Christ do you mean you CANNOT fall back to the ways of the world. The Bible teaches you can. We must endure to the end to be saved. Matt 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.KJV Matt 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. KJV Even Paul said he must keep his body in subjection or he could be a castaway. 1 Cor 9:25-27 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. KJV We are Saved by His death, He paid the penalty for our sins, so we are know reconciled to God the Father. But we are also saved by His life, the latter is like saving money in the bank. He saves us. Rom 5:10 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. KJV |

53 | What does John 13:6-10 mean? | John 13:13 | Arnie | 52994 | ||
The answer is in John 13:13-17, Christians should have a humble attitude in their relationship with each other. At the time Christ lived His physical existance on earth the custom of foot washing usually was done by the servants of the house, a job that wasn't esteemed very highly by most. Christ washing the disciples feet was a great lesson for us, we should not think to highly of our own selves or our status in this life. Arnie |

54 | Where does the Bible say all have heard? | John 14:6 | Arnie | 44593 | ||
The tense in Col 1:23 is "being preached" "proclaimed" every creature in the world has been or will hear the Gospel. Col 1:12-29 1. To whom it was preached: To every creature under heaven (v. 23), that is, it was ordered to be preached to every creature, Mark 16:15. It may be preached to every creature; for the gospel excludes none who do not exclude themselves. More or less it has been or will be preached to every nation, though many have sinned away the light of it and perhaps some have never yet enjoyed it. (from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible: New Modern Edition, Electronic Database. Copyright (c) 1991 by Hendrickson Publishers, Inc.) Mark 16:15 5 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. KJV NT:2784 usso (kay-roos'-so); of uncertain affinity; to herald (as a public crier), especially divine truth (the gospel): KJV - preacher (-er), proclaim, publish.

Dear Tim, My knowledge of the Greek langauge is very limited, what I understood the Aorist tense to be is "something being done without a time frame" a fact in this case "preached" I understood the present tense from the following: PREACH, PREACHING 2. kerusso NT:2784 signities (a) "to be a herald," or, in general, "to proclaim," e. g., Matt 3:1; Mark 1:45, "publish"; in Luke 4:18, RV, "to proclaim," KJV, "to preach"; so verse 19; Luke 12:3; Acts 10:37; Rom 2:21; Rev 5:2. In 1 Peter 3:19 the probable reference is, not to glad tidings (which there is no real evidence that Noah preached, nor is there evidence that the spirits of antediluvian people are actually "in prison"), but to the act of Christ after His resurrection in proclaiming His victory to fallen angelic spirits; (b) "to preach the gospel as a herald," e. g., Matt 24:14; Mark 13:10, RV, "be preached" (KJV, "be published"); 14:9; 16:15,20; 8:1; 9:2; 24:47; 8:5; 19:13; 28:31; 10:14, present participle, lit., "(one) preaching," "a preacher"; 10:15 (1 st part); 1 Cor 1:23; 15:11,12; 2 Cor 1:19; 4:5; 11:4; Gal 2:2; Phil 1:15; Col 1:23; 1 Thess 2:9; 1 Tim 3:16; (c) "to preach the word," 2 Tim 4:2 (of the ministry of the Scriptures, with special reference to the gospel). See PROCLAIM, PUBLISH. (from Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words, Copyright (c)1985, Thomas Nelson Publishers) The reference says "Present participle" in reference to Col 1:23 I believe thats where I made the error in saying present tense.

Dear Tim, Thayers says somewhat the same as the reference you posted, I think this is where I got my idea on "no regard for past, present or future time" 5777 Tense - Aorist The aorist tense is characterized by its emphasis on punctiliar action; that is, the concept of the verb is considered without regard for past, present, or future time. There is no direct or clear English equivalent for this tense, though it is generally rendered as a simple past tense in most translations. The events described by the aorist tense are classified into a number of categories by grammarians. The most common of these include a view of the action as having begun from a certain point ("inceptive aorist"), or having ended at a certain point ("cumulative aorist"), or merely existing at a certain point ("punctiliar aorist"). The categorization of other cases can be found in Greek reference grammars. The English reader need not concern himself with most of these finer points concerning the aorist tense, since in most cases they cannot be rendered accurately in English translation, being fine points of Greek exegesis only. The common practice of rendering an aorist by a simple English past tense should suffice in most cases Arnie |

57 | Why does this passage not work? | John 14:13 | Arnie | 44595 | ||
Dear Chearie, I think "Barnes Commentary" on John 14: 13 explains somewhat; [Whatsoever ye shall ask] This promise referred particularly to the apostles in their work of spreading the gospel; it is, however, true of all Christians, if what they ask is in faith, and according to the will of God, James 1:6; 1 John 5:14. (from Barnes' Notes, Electronic Database. Copyright (c) 1997 by Biblesoft) 1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: KJV James 1:6 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. KJV We can ask in Christ name and to God' glory but is it Gods will, remember Christs prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane asking for the "cup to be removed" if possible, "not my will but thy will be done" I might add that so often we put time frames on what God can do and will do, We see only this temporal setting we live in. Today the blind are seeing and the deaf are hearing. Arnie |

58 | Would you have recognized Christ? | John 15:16 | Arnie | 46001 | ||
Do think you would have recognized Jesus as the Christ if you lived in Palestine when Christ was there approximately 2000 Yrs ago? If yes, how would you have recognized Him? Arnie |
||||||
59 | recognize Christ? | John 15:16 | Arnie | 46053 | ||
Dear Parable, The follow-up question would be; if Christ chose us, would He not be responsible for giving us the truth? (knowledge of Him, doctrines, His plan of salvation for mankind) Isn't that how we would come to know Him, recognize Him from the counterfeit Christ'S? | ||||||
60 | recognize Christ? | John 15:16 | Arnie | 46069 | ||
Dear Parable, When using the word "responsible" I meant when He chose (John 15:16) us, He being the initiator, the one who is doing the work, it would be up to Him, not up to us, to deliver the doctrines that we come to understand. I had not thought of the second point you made but it is a very good one Once we are called we are set apart in the eyes of God and now have a special standing with God. |
