1 | offspring of satan? | Gen 3:15 | Fellow Heir | 75344 | ||
How about John 8;42-44. 42 Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me. 43 Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Every place the Bible talks about "seed" it is talking about something that can only produce after its kind or wheat seed produces whet which produces more wheat seed. It appears in John 8:42-44 that the religous leaders in Israel for one would be Satans offspring (seed) since they fulfilled the prophecy in Genesis 3:15 to a tee. It could even be said any Liar is also Satans offspring according to the Lord Jesus in verse 44. Salvation by Christ alone Fellow Heir |

2 | Can a toddler go to heaven? NOTE | Deut 1:39 | Fellow Heir | 75765 | ||
On the question "Can a toddler go to heaven?" I have not seen a mention of Deut. 1:39 And the little ones that you said would be taken captive, your children who do not yet know good from bad-they will enter the land. I will give it to them and they will take possession of it. This verse about the children of Israel that the adults of the time said God would cause their death if they tried to enter the promised land gives me an indicationn that there is a year in our lives that we are responsible for knowing "good from bad." What age is this? I believe it is made plain in Num. 14:26 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron: 27 "How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of these grumbling Israelites. 28 So tell them, 'As surely as I live, declares the LORD , I will do to you the very things I heard you say: 29 In this desert your bodies will fall-every one of you twenty years old or more who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against me. 30 Not one of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. 31 As for your children that you said would be taken as plunder, I will bring them in to enjoy the land you have rejected. 32 But you-your bodies will fall in this desert. I know this is scripture written to Israel and cannot be directly applied to the Body of Christ but it might show a pattern of how God works. In Christ the only savior Fellow Heir Rom 8:16-17 |

3 | Does 1 Cor 15:51-53 show the rapture? | Matt 24:30 | Fellow Heir | 75245 | ||
When Paul says "we will not all sleep" he is referring to ones not dead. Even Christ used sleep to indicate Lazarus was dead. Then he says "the dead will be raised imperishable" and "WE" shall al be changed. Even talks about the Trumpet Sound. Sounds to me like a parallel passage to 1 Thes 4:13-18. Fellow Heir |

4 | Fellow Heir, Can we include Mat 24:27-31 | Matt 24:30 | Fellow Heir | 75260 | ||
The way I see it is the Rapture Paul talks about is the departure of the Church Which is HIS Body before the Tribulation period. See 1 Thes 5:1-11 I believe Matthew is talking about Christ's return to save the nation Israel as prophesied in Zechariah 14. This will definitely be after the Great Tribulation. Fellow Heir |

5 | How is 1 Thess 4:17 related to Rev 4? | Matt 24:30 | Fellow Heir | 75266 | ||
There is no relation here. These scripture are talking about two different things. Fellow Heir |

6 | Do you pick/choose what is for you? | Matt 24:30 | Fellow Heir | 75274 | ||
Searcher wrote; Do you pick/choose what is for you? I definitely do. I believe I am under Grace not Law and the Gospels may be in what is called the New Testament but if you look at them they are all under Israels law. Even when Christ sent the Diciples out to preach the "Kingdom of Heaven is near" He said "DO NOT GO INTO THE WAY OF THE GENTILES--ONLY GO TO THE LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL" I think that excluded me if I had been living at the time. As for a lot of the Gospels as well as the Old Testament there is truth that is universal and is not for Jew or Gentile only but for all mankind. I also believe "All scripture is given by inspiration and is profitable...but I don't believe it is all written for this present time in Church history. God had different programs throughout His Story starting with Adam and Eve in a perfect setting with only one prohibitiion on through Ten Commandments and some 400 plus laws for Israel to what Paul calls the "Administration of Grace" in Ephesians 3:1-12. I do differ with some on when the Rapture will take place. I believe it will be at the middle of the Great Tribulation (Rev 12:7-12) and I also believe there will not be enough live believers taken up that there will be even a short blurb on CNN. How many were in the Ark when the Deluge came? As for the Dead in Christ" I don't even see that graves or mausoleums have to burst open as some say. I believe God has the power to make the whole event so unnoticed that no one will know it happened. I accept everything Paul says since he called himself "The Apostle of the Gentiles" in Rommans 11:13 and I am certainly one of that breed. I would like to say I understand all he says but at 70 I still have a lot of unanswered questions though I have not given up yet that the answers will come. Fellow Heir |

7 | What did Jesus write on the ground | John 8:6 | Fellow Heir | 75346 | ||
Have you ever wondered about some of the scriptures that don’t seem clear or are not easy to understand? One person has said, “Since there are so many scriptures that are very plain and easy to understand do what they teach and wait on God to reveal the hard to understand ones in His timing. One such story is about the woman taken in adultery found in John chapter 8 starting in verse 2. It says there; John 8:2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. Some questions come to mind: How did they know where to catch her? Did any of them know her personally? Was she setup by them as part of the planned trapping of Jesus?? What were they going to accuse Jesus of? If He said stone her as Moses and the law commanded, they would accuse Him of not being consistent in His teaching because He forgave others. If He said I forgive her they would accuse him of not keeping the law He said He came to fulfill. 8:6b But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. What did Jesus write the first time? I believe he wrote the names of each man there who was accusing her. In Jeremiah the word tells us: Jer. 17:13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust because they have forsaken the LORD, the spring of living water. Had these men forsaken Him? Had they turned away from Him? Yes, even to the point of working hard trying to trick Him to find some reason to kill Him. He not only wrote their names but I believe He wrote them down from the oldest to the youngest. because later it says “they left one at a time the older ones first.” I imagine they were all puffed up when they realized He knew them not only by name but also their ages or some would say rank. Possibly they were thinking, “We are big enough leaders that He knows us already”. Again the word says: John 8:7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. This time I believe He wrote next to their names a sin they had committed that was also worthy of stoning to death. Perhaps even the name of a woman they had committed adultery with. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" 11 "No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin." Some wonderful lessons can be taken from this happening. First: Jesus is all knowing so He isn’t surprised when we sin, He does ask us to confess our sins. Second: He is always just and always forgives us though He admonishes us to not commit the same sin over and over. Third: We all stand before our master and are judged by no one but Him no matter what others may say. Fourth: Jesus cannot be tricked by anyone no matter how smart they think they are. Is this a plausible explanation of what Jesus wrote? Fellow Heir |

8 | Pentecost Batism, Was it by or in water? | Acts 2:39 | Fellow Heir | 75438 | ||
Acts 2:38 above: Most denominations teach the baptism in this verse is by water. There is a lot of discussion on how it is performed, Sprinkle, Dip, Imersion, etc. but never a question on whether it is water or some other way. If it is water then when will John the Baptist' prophecy in Matthew 3:11 "I baptize you with[Or in] water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. I believe all agree the one to come after John is Christ so when will, did this form of baptism by the Holy Spirit and Fire take place. Ibelieve the first time was in Acts 2:1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Here we see the Apostles and up to another 108 people receiving the baptism with Holy Sirit and fire for Peter says in verse 39 they would receive the "Gift of the Holy Spirit." A supporting verse, I believe, is in Acts 19:1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples 2 and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They answered, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit." 3 So Paul asked, "Then what baptism did you receive?" "John's baptism," they replied. 4 Paul said, "John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus." 5 On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. 7There were about twelve men in all.

9 | If you are saved can you lose it | Rom 11:17 | Fellow Heir | 75561 | ||
If you understand Salvation comes by believing "Christ died for your sins" then it is my understanding that by disbelieving that will cause your Salvation to be lost. A supporting scripture is in Romans chapter 11 starting in verse 17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in." 20 Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear; 21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. 22 Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God's kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree? 25 For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery--so that you will not be wise in your own estimation--that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; "Once Saved Always Saved" works only as long as you believe is my belief.

Paul says in 2 Cor 2:12 he was caught up to the "Third Heaven" so there must be at least three places called heaven. He also wrote about Christ ascending "far above all heavens in Eph 4:10 | ||||||
