3282 | What is the believer's true relationship | Phil 3:20 | Emmaus | 131243 | ||
Tan Flipper We are to be, like christ, in the world but not of it. Seee John 8:23; John 15:19; John 16:33; John 17:14-16; Joohn 18:36. Or do a word search on the word world in the New Testament, just to the right side of the screen. It will give you a lot of food for thought on your question. Emmaus |

Charis, Strong and gentle. Isn't that the definition of meekness. Unfortunately the current popular mis-understanding of meekness tends to equate it with being a doormat. Emmaus |

jsmith, Sometimes we don't like the answer God gives us. We might think we are lined up with him, but he may not see it that way. He may give us what we need in response to our prayer rather than what we want and that may be a taste of the cross before he lets us taste the victory that follows. Emmaus |

3287 | How do you avoid negative satan. | Phil 4:8 | Emmaus | 127114 | ||
Probably looking for these verses. 1 Cor 10:20 No, but I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers in demons. 1 Cor 10:21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. |

3288 | suffering - for individual or family? | Phil 4:12 | Emmaus | 33962 | ||
Goodisggod2me, It seems to me that what Paul is saying here is that good time and bad times will come, but the secret is to focus on God, not the circumstances of life, in order to perserve in the life of faith. That does not mean we should not try to correct problem areas, only that they should not left them be our primary focus and driving force in our lives. Troubles will come, stay focused on God even as you deal with the troubles. And all God's children have troubles, adult, parent, child. Families which are composed of indiviuals. Think of the Church as a family and all the troubles it has know as a body and the individuals in it as well as the blessings it has known individualy and corporately. Emmaus |

Seeker1, Along with Col 1:13 see Romans 3:24 and Hebrews 1:3. See also Luke 17:20-21. The kingdom of God is wherever the King is. Does He rule in our hearts? Emmaus |

3290 | In what way is Christ God's mystery? | Col 2:2 | Emmaus | 114894 | ||
leonore, Here is another take on mystery and how the Greek Orthodox and Catholic Church understands it in the broad context of Scripture and worship. "The universal Sacrament of Salvation The Greek word mysterion was translated into Latin by two terms: mysterium and sacramentum. In later usage the term sacramentum emphasizes the visible sign of the hidden reality of salvation which was indicated by the term mysterium. In this sense, Christ himself is the mystery of salvation: "For there is no other mystery of God, except Christ." The saving work of his holy and sanctifying humanity is the sacrament of salvation, which is revealed and active in the Church's sacraments (which the Eastern Churches also call "the holy mysteries"). The seven sacraments are the signs and instruments by which the Holy Spirit spreads the grace of Christ the head throughout the Church which is his Body. The Church, then, both contains and communicates the invisible grace she signifies. It is in this analogical sense, that the Church is called a "sacrament." "The Church, in Christ, is like a sacrament - a sign and instrument, that is, of communion with God and of unity among all men." The Church's first purpose is to be the sacrament of the inner union of men with God. Because men's communion with one another is rooted in that union with God, the Church is also the sacrament of the unity of the human race. In her, this unity is already begun, since she gathers men "from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and tongues";198 at the same time, the Church is the "sign and instrument" of the full realization of the unity yet to come. As sacrament, the Church is Christ's instrument. "She is taken up by him also as the instrument for the salvation of all," "the universal sacrament of salvation," by which Christ is "at once manifesting and actualizing the mystery of God's love for men." The Church "is the visible plan of God's love for humanity," because God desires "that the whole human race may become one People of God, form one Body of Christ, and be built up into one temple of the Holy Spirit."(Rev 7:9) ...catechesis aims to initiate people into the mystery of Christ ( It is "mystagogy." ) by proceeding from the visible to the invisible, from the sign to the thing signified, from the "sacraments" to the "mysteries." ..."

Yes, and the primary tool that the Church uses is Scripture. | ||||||
3292 | Verification on Charles Taze Russell | Col 2:9 | Emmaus | 82820 | ||
The old system was destroyed in 70 AD when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and old temple sacrificial system. That is what Matt 24 is all about and also why we see the New Jerusalem, the Church, decended in Revelation 21 after the old Jerusalem was destroyed by fire. That was the microcosim, the rest until the Second Coming is the working out of the Macrocosim. Revelations says what is revealed will happen "soon" Rev 22:10-12,20 and Rev 1:1-3. In the original Greek, "soon" means "soon." Soon was 70 AD. The generation that was not to pass away before the fulfillment of Matt 23:36 and 24:34 would take the 35-40 tears up to 70 AD from 30-35 AD when Jesus was making His prophecy. Emmaus |

3293 | Jesus being the godhead bodily | Col 2:9 | Emmaus | 127107 | ||
The Amplified Bible Col 2:9 For in Him the whole fullness of Deity (the Godhead)continues to dwell in bodily form [giving complete expression of the divine nature]. Col 2:10 And you are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life [in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead--Father, Son and Holy Spirit--and reach full spiritual stature]. And He is the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and power]. |

3295 | Yet another baptism question! | Col 2:12 | Emmaus | 131710 | ||
Huron, Consider the prime excample, the baptism of Christ. Were there both water and the Spirit there or only one? Emmaus |
||||||
3296 | Yet another baptism question! | Col 2:12 | Emmaus | 131819 | ||
Huron, Water and the Spirit: Matt 3:16 After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, Matt 28:19-20 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Acts 10:38 "You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:22 After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He was spending time with them and baptizing Acts 2:38, 41 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit... So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. Acts 9:17 So Ananias departed and entered the house, and after laying his hands on him said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit." Acts 22:16 'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.' Acts 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized Acts 10:37-38 you yourselves know the thing which took place throughout all Judea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed. "You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

3297 | Under part of the Law? | Col 2:14 | Emmaus | 146115 | ||
Mark, I would say that justification is more than a forensic act. It is a transforming act of God's grace by which we are transformed from slaves to sons in the household of God (Rom 68:14-15; Gal 4:1-7, 23-27). We become new creatures (2 Cor 5:17). A sone obeys God's (his Father)law out of love, but a slave obeys under contraint and out of fear. Fear(awe)of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. But their are two kinds of fear of the Lord; the filial fear of a son and the servile fear of the slave. One obeys because he is graced, the other obeys because he is required to do so by the law. Emmaus |
||||||
3298 | Under part of the Law? | Col 2:14 | Emmaus | 146116 | ||
Mark, Col 2:14 "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;" I have heard this explanation. In those days when a man was in debt to the point of bankruptcy, the document was posted on his door. Whoever paid (redemmed) the debt took possession of the note and the debtor then became bondservant or slave of the one who paid the debt. God goes one better by making us more than servants and slaves. He takes us in and makes us his childrena and members of His household. Emmaus |
||||||
3299 | Under part of the Law? | Col 2:14 | Emmaus | 146196 | ||
Mark, Yes and yes, with the following understanding. I think St. Paul is very clear in Romans that we must "be doers of the Law, not hearers only." But at the same time he is very clear that this does not include the ceremonial "works of the Law" of which circumcised is the most prominent and representative of the other ceremonial aspects of the Mosaic Law (Gal 5:4-5). Paul also makes clear that the Gentiles know the moral law without Moses. This is the universal law sometimes called Natural Law. (Romans 2:12-15, 25-29) I do not think it is an accident or mere coincidence that St. Paul opened and closes his letter to the Romans by refering to "the obedience of faith." (Romans 1:5; 6:15-18; 16:26). And yes God chastises and corrects His children.(Hebrews 12:6) Emmaus |

Muhlgirl, Colossians 2:16-23. All of Galatians is helpful on the question of the Law but especially good on dietary laws is Romans 14. See also Acts 10, 11 and 15. Emmaus |
