3403 | Difference of Religon and Christianity? | James 1:27 | Emmaus | 37314 | ||
Sister, A lot depends on how you define religion. The word means "that which holds or binds together" at it's root with the dictionary definitions elaborating on the ties that binds God and man together such as worship. And then there is James 1:27 27: "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." Lots of room to run wild in this field. Emmaus |

Jhn, It would seem to me that Matt 5:17-19 17: "Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them. 18: For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. 19: Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. " and what follows must come into play somewhere in this disussion. Emmaus |

Angelsong, I think this is a parable of Jesus after his Resurrection going to heaven (the far country) to receive his kingship from the Father and his return in the second coming to reward his servants and destroy his enemies. Emmaus |

rcreasy, After what happened to Ananias and Sapphira Acts 5:1-11, it might have seemed a little risky for those not yet perfected in charity. There are some groups that still attempt this, such as the Hutterites in North Dakota and Canada Emmaus |

3408 | Who is the son of man which is in heaven | Dan 7:13 | Emmaus | 37288 | ||
Leftwith, The same as Daniel saw in Daniel 7:13-14 13: I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. 14: And to him was given dominion and glory and kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed. and Stephen saw in Acts 7:55-56 55: But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; 56: and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God."

3409 | Biblical contradiction? | 2 Chr 35:21 | Emmaus | 37283 | ||
Seedsower, I guess I have nothing more to offer on this passage. But wouldn't your same theory apply to the Jonah and Nineveh story where God said he was going to destroy Nineveh, but then releneted when the Ninevites did penance much to Jonah's dismay. Did that make Jonah a false prophet? Emmaus |

3410 | If Works do count | Gal 5:5 | Emmaus | 37158 | ||
Handy, To say that doing good works means nothing contradicts the scripture. If you do good works in Christ you are doing His work. Take a look at theses passages and put your mind at rest. Matt 7:21 Matt 19:16-17 Matt 25:34-46 John 14:21 Romans 2:28 Galatians 5:4-6 Ephesians 2:8-10 Philippians 2:12-13 James 2:14-24 Emmaus |

3412 | when:elder rule(plural) to bishop rule | 2 Tim 1:6 | Emmaus | 37149 | ||
bmag1963, I don't see how it can be after Paul's death if you look at 1 Tim 4:14, 5:22; 2 Tim 1:6; Eph 4:11; 1 Cor 12:28; 1 Thes 5:12; Titus 1:5; James 3:1. It is apparent that the laying on of hands to transmitt authority was common in th earliest days. the word presbuteroi is the origin of the word priest also translated elder. The priest is the represebtattive of the bishop or overseeer or episkapos. There wwere obviously other office within the community in addition to deacon as indicated in the texts, but not all with the same praching and teaching authority. The earliest Apostolic fathers such as Ignatius of Antioch and Ireanaeus were taught by men who sat at the feet of the apostles and their writings affirm the office of bishop as the central officve of authority in the Christian community. We see the passing on of the apostlolic office of bishop as early as Acts 1:15-26. Emmaus |

Searcher, Sounds like diferent points of reference in the two posts and both ponts of view are correct depending on the reference verese. Emmaus |
||||||
3414 | How did Hannah decide to give up Samuel? | 1 Sam 1:11 | Emmaus | 37108 | ||
Searcher, I am sure the reference was to 1 Samuel 2:20. 18: Samuel was ministering before the LORD, a boy girded with a linen ephod. 19: And his mother used to make for him a little robe and take it to him each year, when she went up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice. 20: Then Eli would bless Elka'nah and his wife, and say, "The LORD give you children by this woman for the loan which she lent to the LORD"; so then they would return to their home. 21: And the LORD visited Hannah and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. And the boy Samuel grew in the presence of the LORD. Emmaus |

3417 | Raven and John Reformed, Baptism? | Bible general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 37014 | ||
Raven, You have done an admirable job on this thread. You certainly have more endurance than me. I fear the issue will never resolve with any convincing the other. I will end only by referring to that great Epistle of faith, Romans: "through him we have received the apsoltleship, to bring about the obedience of faith, for the sake of his name among the Gentiles." Romans 1:5 and "but now manifested through the prophetic writings and. accodring to the command of the eternal God, made known to all tha nations, to bring about the obedience of faith, to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ be glory forevere and ever. Amen." Romans 16:26-27 And a few other verse to consider in this matter. Matt. 28:18-20 18: And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19: Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20: teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age." Col 2:11-12 11: In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of flesh in the circumcision of Christ; 12: and you were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. Ex 4:24-26 24: At a lodging place on the way the LORD met him and sought to kill him. 25: Then Zippo'rah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin, and touched Moses' feet with it, and said, "Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me!" 26: So he let him alone. Then it was that she said, "You are a bridegroom of blood," because of the circumcision. Romans 6:3-4 3: Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4: We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

Katherine, "Or is it even bigger, referring to God's constant reminder that everything we receive is already his?" I think you have the answer there. I am not aware of any answer to who taught her. Perhaps it was made clear to her by God in pray. Emmaus |
||||||
3419 | Did Hannah make a deal with God? | 1 Sam 1:11 | Emmaus | 36996 | ||
Katherine, I think it was more a vow made in prayer than a deal. Hannah's situation was in some ways similar to that of Rachel in Genesis 29:31-30:24. It is also interesting to compare Hannah's song of paise in 1 Samuel 2 to Mary's song of praise in Luke 1:46-55. Emmaus |
