Angelface, I truly didn't mean to offend you. I was trying to encourage you to research the questions for yourself and thereby having a deeper knowledge of the Word, instead of replying on others to find the answers for you. Please forgive me. | ||||||
22 | Tara1 - Is Jesus true or false god? | OT general | MrsBinGA | 107322 | ||
Good morning Tara1! Your post of 12/24/03 states "Jesus is not Jehovah, never was never will be. He is Jehovah's Son, Second in all the universe." Does this mean that Jesus is "a god"? If so, is Jesus a true god or a false god? If He is a true god, then we have TWO true God's, which is contrary to Scripture. Jeremiah 10:10a says "But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: . . ." Remember, there are many things and persons in the world that are "called" gods, but there is only One True God. If Jesus isn't a true god, the only alternative is He is a false god. But this "logical deduction" presents lots of other problems. 1) Heb. 1:6 says: "And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, 'Let all God's angels worship him.'" Would Jehovah tell His angels to worship a false god? 2) Heb. 1:13: "But to which of the angels said He at any time, 'Sit on My right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?'" Would Jehovah have a false god sitting next to Him in His Glory? Deut. 32:39 makes it very clear that there is no "god" with Jehovah: "See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand." 3) Isaiah 11:10 says: "And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, Who shall stand as a banner to the people; For the Gentiles shall seek Him, And His resting place shall be glorious." NKJV Would you agree that the Root of Jesse is Jesus? If so, then Jesus is the One to whom the Gentiles will seek. Will Jehovah approve of the nations seeking after a false god? If Jesus is NOT the Root of Jesse, then who is? 4) Jesus said in John 6:45: "It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me." KJV Would Jehovah have "every man that has heard and has learned" of Him (the Father)come to a false god? 5) Gen. 19:24? "Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;" Two Jehovahs? How can this be? Just an observation, but there appears, to me, to be a real dilemna with the theology of your statements. Kindest regards, Mrs. B |

23 | Tara1 - Is Jesus true or false god? | OT general | MrsBinGA | 107396 | ||
Thank you for the compliment. If Tara1 is studying with JWs then she definitely is not reading the Bible - she's reading their materials which, as you know, is promoting their doctrine. JWs are not encouraged to read the Bible for themselves because only the "faithful and wise servant" (Watchtower) has the "authority" to interpret the Scriptures and then give the JW their "meat in due season." How sad that anyone would allow another person, organization, or church to keep them from a personal relationship with the Lord. Yesterday I was listening to an audio tape by Mick VanBuskirk (C.A.R.I.S. ministry) on the Triune God. Excellent, especially the Scriptures showing that the Holy Spirit is a Person, and not an "active force" as JWs are taught. Hopefully Tara1 will read our posts and the Holy Spirit will open her eyes to the truth of His Word. Blessings to you! Mrs. B |

24 | HOLY GHOST OR HOLY SPIRIT??? | NT general Archive 1 | MrsBinGA | 38837 | ||
Holy "Ghost" is a KJV translation of the Greek word "pneuma", Strong's Exhaustive Concordance number 4151. Both words, Spirit and Ghost are a translation of this same Greek word. Even when the Bible speaks of "evil" spirits, as in Acts 19:15, it is the Gk. word "pneuma." We as finite humans cannot comprehend what Spirit is. Movies and secular books have portrayed "spirits" as transparent vapors with human-like features and we maintain that mental image even when it comes to the things of God. God the Father is not some "vapor-ghost". He has some type of tangible spiritual form/body that John in Rev. 4-5 could see. I've always been taught that the One sitting on the throne was Jesus. But in Rev. 5:7 it clearly states that the Lamb, who we KNOW is Jesus, comes and takes the book "out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne." This is too vast a subject to fully answer in a few paragraphs, but perhaps something I've said has been of help. |

25 | Why did Jesus pray to God? | NT general Archive 1 | MrsBinGA | 140502 | ||
Exodus, don't forget that God is triune, not one "Person" as many religions try to teach. Col 2:9 states: "For in him" (referring to Jesus) "dwelleth all the fulness of the GODHEAD bodily." Historical Christianity believes the following concerning God: within the Nature of the one true God exists three distinct persons, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit - co-equal and co-eternal. With this in mind, when Jesus (The Word, or God the Son, who became flesh - John 1:1-18) dwelt on this earth, He prayed to God the Father. Jesus did NOT pray to Himself because He and the Father are totally distinct Persons of the triune God. There are many excellent posts on this Forum that discuss the Trinity in great detail. I know you will find their answers very helpful. |

26 | Where is MOAB today? Isaiah 16 | Genesis | MrsBinGA | 40098 | ||
According to the Bible, there was a land given by God to the descendants of Lot – even though that piece of property had been inhabited originally by a people called the Emites (see Deut. 2:9-11) – and this land of Moab is called Jordan today. | ||||||
27 | Need reference to "El Roi.. God who sees | Gen 16:13 | MrsBinGA | 40104 | ||

28 | Who looked for a wife for 14 years? | Gen 31:41 | MrsBinGA | 40630 | ||
Jacob - but he wasn't "looking" for a wife 14 years. Jacob loved Rachel and thought he was marrying her during the ceremony. He discovered the following morning, however, that he married her older sister Leah. Although Jacob "worked" 14 years for Rachel, he was allowed to marry her after he had "fulfilled" Leah's week. You may want to read Genesis 29 for the complete story. | ||||||
29 | what and who was amalek when moses live | Gen 36:12 | MrsBinGA | 48720 | ||
A decendant of Esau. According to Deut 25:18 they had attacked Israel from the rear, making a cowardly assault upon the "faint and weary" stragglers. This explains the severe judgment of Ex 17:14-17. (from The Wycliffe Bible Commentary You may want to read I Sam. 15. God told King Saul to destroy everything of the Amalekites because of what they did to Israel. See the consequences to King Saul due to his "partial" obedience and God's thoughts on the subject. Notice also Saul's refusal to accept responsibilty for his disobedience. Does his "blame game" sound familiar? Have a blessed day in our Lord Jesus Christ! |

31 | "What did Jesus look like?" | Ex 20:4 | MrsBinGA | 57058 | ||
Vanessa, you keep on sowing seeds in the lives of those teens and don't let anyone tell you to stop! I've listened to many testimonies on 700 Club of former atheists and skeptics who are now born-again Christians. Josh McDowell is one. I bet his heart wasn't open to the gospel message the first time he heard it. And I wonder where his soul would be now if after the first attempt of sharing the Word with Josh the person "went on to the someone else whose heart is open." I also heard the author of "A Skeptic's Search For God" share his testimony. Can't remember his name but I'm sure the book is still offered on CBN.com website. As far as what Jesus looked like, well, He was Jewish. Wouldn't it stand to reason He would have looked like an average Jewish man: olive complextion, dark hair and eyes, beard. Isa. 53:2 says there is nothing in His outward appearance that would make us "desire Him" ("delight" in Him, per Strong's Exhaustive Concordance). So, you keep on reaching out to those precious lost souls. "One sows, another waters" but it is God Who gives the increase! |

32 | In the Andes, name the Laws of the New | Ex 20:10 | MrsBinGA | 53642 | ||
In the Andes - I've greatly enjoyed reading your posts on this subject. They are totally scriptural! It's so sad to hear Christians trying to bring OT truths into this dispensation of Grace and thereby putting themselves back under the Law. That is "works of the law", which, as you know, Galatians 2:16 says "by the works of the law shall no man be justified." You may have given the following references in one of your posts. If so, forgive me for not remembering, and thus repeating them. Gal 5:14: "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." I, for one, would almost rather keep the 613 laws of the O.T. than try to "love my neighbor". That ONE law ain't easy! **smile** I love what Gal 3:22-25 says about the Law: "But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law". What could be more clear about the purpose of the law? It was given to LEAD US to Christ! Also, Rom 10:4: "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." And, Gal 5:4: "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace". (Hmmmm . . . how many sermons have I have heard using that phrase "fallen from grace" to "prove" a born-again believer can "lose their salvation." Verses taken out of context are a pretext! **smile**) I'm thankful I am in Christ and that ".. by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses" (Acts 13:39). Everything the law required of me has been fulfilled BY Him; therefore I AM complete because I am IN Him (Col. 2:10). Resting in what Jesus did FOR me, MrsB in Georgia |

33 | What does Hebrews 8 Mean? | Lev 17:11 | MrsBinGA | 48784 | ||
In order to understand Heb. 8, you must read chapters 1-7 because Heb. 8:1 begins with "The point of what we are saying is this: . . ." How can we understand the "point" of chapter 8 without reading what lead up to it? The first 4 chapters discuss the superiority of Christ's person over the prophets; over the angels in His deity and humanity; over Moses in His work and person. Chapters 4-10 discuss the superiority of His work: His priesthood, His covenant, His sanctuary and sacrifice. Chapter 8 deals primarily with Christ's covenant being superior to the Mosaic covenant, i.e. the Law. Verses 6-9 state: "But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs (the priests of vv 4-5) as the covenant of which He is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises. For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. But God found fault with the people and said: ‘The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord'." Verses 10-12 tell us what that new covenant is: "This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be My people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." Then verse 13 reveals God's view of the old covenant: "By calling this covenant ‘new,' He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear." What was the purpose of the Law? Gal. 3:19, 24-25 tells us: "Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator"; "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster." Before you allow people to put you under the obligation of keeping the Law, I suggest you consider these few verses: "For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them" (Gal 3:10); "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all;" (James 2:10); "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified" (Gal. 2:16). Lastly, Romans 10:3-4: "For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." Be sure to read Acts 15. Certain men of Judaea and a group of Pharisees said the Gentile Christians of Antioch had to be circumcised AND keep the law of Moses in order to be saved. (Notice Peter's words in v. 10 concerning the Law.) But they were wrong in their requirements, as you'll see when you read the entire chapter. God bless you as you continue your life in the Lord Jesus Christ. BTW, have you ever taken a Concordance and looked up all the references pertaining to your new life, i.e. being "in Christ" and what that entails? It's awesome! |

40 | Needing information on Thaddaeus | Mark 3:18 | MrsBinGA | 57395 | ||
Hello Trwmedic! I use a great computer program called PC Study Bible Reference Library. It has a vast amount of resource material. But even with all the resources, the following information is all there was. The name Thaddaeus means "breast". One of the twelve apostles of Jesus (Matt 10:3; Mark 3:18; Thaddeus, KJV), also called Lebbaeus (Matt 10:3) and Judas the son of James (Luke 6:16; Acts 1:13). He is carefully distinguished from Judas Iscariot (John 14:22). Nothing else is known about this most obscure of the apostles, but some scholars attribute the Epistle of Jude to him. (from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Copyright (c)1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers) I was going to suggest you look on www.blueletterbible.org. But when I did a search there for Thaddaeus it only brought up two Scriptures. Perhaps someone else has additional ideas. Sorry I couldn't be more help. |
