Good insight! Thanks! Huron |

82 | Did Jesus purify the temple twice? | John 2:15 | Huron | 126079 | ||
In John's Gospel, Jesus is shown hear purifying the temple in the early part of his ministry. Matthew, Mark, and Luke give an account of this near the end of his ministry. How do you account for this? Did Jesus purify the temple twice? I'll bet that I've read the NT 20 times or more and have never noticed it till now. Thanks! Huron |

Sorry about the typo, I meant "here", not "hear." | ||||||

Ray, Thanks for the insight. That is another plausible explanation. Do you know of any other examples in John where he departs from the synoptics in similar fashion? Huron |

Good stuff, especially the last paragraph! Thanks! Huron |

86 | Titus 3:5 regeneration help please | John 3:3 | Huron | 95754 | ||
Titus 3:5 He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, I'd like some more information on regeneration. Seems to be two schools of thought on it. Some say regeneration is the same as being born again or converted. (According to this model, I guess you could alternately say that regeneration happens at the same time as conversion.) Others say that it is a seperate step, i.e., you are regenerated BEFORE you have faith. I did some searching last night and it seems the only place in the Bible that uses the word regeneration is Titus 3:5, and that is only in the KJV, and NASB, but not the NIV. (I only have those three versions at home.) NIV uses the term "washing of rebirth". Is regeneration the same or different from the new birth talked about in Eze. 36:26,John 1:13, John 3:3, II Cor. 5:17, I Pet 1:23, I John 5:1? In some ways I feel like I'm splitting hairs here, but resolving this will help solve some related questions for me. Thanks! |

87 | Titus 3:5 regeneration help please | John 3:3 | Huron | 95787 | ||
That's what I always believed. In my mind this supports decision theology, or the belief that one must choose or accept Christ. Those then that say that the unregenerate can't make a decision for Christ are basicly saying that the un born again can't make a decision for Christ. Kind of like saying you must be born again before you will have faith to be born again. Thanks for the response. Huron |

88 | Water, baptism and John 3:5/Titus 3:5 | John 3:5 | Huron | 110233 | ||
Many people use this verse to substantiate water baptism along with Titus 3:5 "He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit," Although I am all for water baptism, I just don't see any connection between this verse and baptism. Am I missing something, or am I likely correct? To discuss it from another angle, I believe regeneration and baptism are two totally different topics. Seems people who use John 3:5 to validate baptism mix the two terms. Huron |

Emmaus, I was hoping that you would answer! While I don't always agree with your viewpoint, I do enjoy taking a look at the issues from your point of view. I guess to understand a topic it's best to consider all points of view. 1 John 5:8 (the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.) is a scripture I'm not super familiar with so I'm going to chew on it for a while. Regards, Huron |

Searcher 56, I've kicked this issue over in my mind for a few days now and believe that the preponderance of evidence shows that the "water" does not represent baptism. After all,if Jesus was saying that you must be baptized, he would not have been able to say what he said in Luke 23:43 "And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." to the criminal dying next to him on the cross! Think about it - the criminal didn't have time to be baptized. Now, having said that, I'm not sure what you meant when you asked,"In verse 8, "born of the Spirit" (no mention of water this time) is likened to the wind blowing. Is being born of the Spirit and being born by the wind are not two different things? Then why think being "born of water" and being "born of the Spirit" are different?" Regards, Huron |

91 | Water, baptism and John 3:5/Titus 3:5 | John 3:5 | Huron | 110454 | ||
Rowdy, I want to make sure I'm hearing you accurately. Are you saying that the "regeneration" takes part in water baptism? Regards, Huron |

92 | Water, baptism and John 3:5/Titus 3:5 | John 3:5 | Huron | 110457 | ||
terrib, Thanks for sharing that point of view. Would Jesus even need to mention being born of the water then to Nicodemus? He was after all, already born physically, so the breaking of the amniotic water requirement was already fulfilled in his case. While I agree your suggestion has to be considered as an optional interpretation rather than baptism, can you understand why I would be puzzled by this? Regards, Huron |

Tim, Thanks for that very illuminating thought! Okay, I guess I have to agree that it is a possibility that has some definate merit. At this point I have to admit that I really, really wish that I knew how to read Greek to dig into this one a little deeper. Some very good points have been brought up on this thread. Now I'm going to ponder Acts 2:38 for a bit. Huron |

94 | Who is Jesus' God? | John 3:16 | Huron | 111949 | ||
The Bible makes it clear that Jesus is God. Read Hebrews 1:8 that shows the Father talking about the Son "But of the Son He says, "YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER, AND THE RIGHTEOUS SCEPTER IS THE SCEPTER OF HIS KINGDOM" Notice how Jesus is called God. |

95 | Who is Jesus' God? | John 3:16 | Huron | 112038 | ||
Tara1 Thanks for your reply. The versions I respect (NASB, KJV) support the meaning I provided. NWT may support your view, but that version isn't widely respected. Seems we have to both go with a version we respect. I would like to use NASB, you would like to use NWT. Let's use KJV. Jesus was very clear. In John 10:30, He said that I and the Father are one! In Isiah 44:6, God says, "Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and beside me [there is] no God" Jesus say's the same thing in Revelation 1:8, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." To prove that this is Jesus speaking, Revelation 1:18 say's, "I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." |

96 | Nailing down John 3:16 | John 3:16 | Huron | 125837 | ||
Would it be fair to say that "the world" in this verse means all of mankind? Are there any qualifiers on the word "whoever" here? I read this as absolutely anyone, is that correct? Thanks! |
||||||
97 | Nailing down John 3:16 | John 3:16 | Huron | 125990 | ||
That's what I had always believed. Seems John 1:7, 1:29 back up this view. Just wanted to make sure I was "on the beam". Huron |
||||||
98 | abiding in Christ by communion? | John 6:56 | Huron | 97647 | ||
I realize this verse is figurative, but what is Jesus telling us here? I don't think it means that we take communion to be in union or abide in Christ, but I'm not sure exactly what the message is here. Thanks! Huron |

As always Makarios, good stuff! Thanks for the insight! Huron |

100 | Does Jn 15:16 "choosing" apply to us? | John 15:16 | Huron | 166555 | ||
Is Jesus just talking to the disciples here, or is he speaking to everyone who believes? Thanks! Huron |
