81 | where does he ask that,baptized or not | Acts 2:38 | RCSCROLL | 6697 | ||
As you so well stated that the jews were ceremonially baptizing their youth allready,the fact remains that whose name will they be baptised now, the answer is Jesus he is the messiah. baptism dose'nt save anyone ,Christ does.Acts 2:38 is pointing to this fact.The fact that denominal sects think that they must do something in order to play a part in salvation is as old as the world itself. Yes Jesus is God manifest in the flesh.However the father calls him God also. Hebrews 1:8 you see you miss the trinity by making Jesus the father son and holyspirit.Yes there is only one God,but he shall allways be identified in three distinct persons.He is the son of the father,he is the father to us and his holy spirit is our indwelling spirit.Paul said that he did'nt come to baptise but to preach the gospel ,for that is the power of God.Whos voice would you say was there at the baptisim of Christ, the fathers or the sons.Luke 23:42 the thief merly reconized Jesus as the son of God thats why he went into the kingdom with Christ.This is a heart issue,otherwise we could just throw water on people in Jesus name and thay would be saved,we do alot of ministry in hospitals,sometimes they can't have water baptisim.As to infant jewish baptism,we can dedicate our children to messiah however this does'nt mean that they are saved ,for it is a heart discision that counts,and water is just an act of obedience. love in CHRIST JESUS RCSCROLL | ||||||

84 | Ten Commandments obsolete? | Rom 10:4 | RCSCROLL | 6656 | ||
For Christ is the end of the law, The ten commandments are a law to drive people to god knowing that they cant fullfill it, they turn to CHRIST or messiah in a jews case.

Hi Charis well here goe's It is sometimes claimed (for example, by the Mormon church, and by the Christian organization known as Gospel Outreach) that God intends for the church to have the office of apostle operative today. The Scriptures, however, indicate that the apostleship was strictly a first-century office. Jesus trained the Twelve to be preachers, teachers, and evangelists for Him after His death and resurrection (John 14:17; Matthew 16:18-19; 18:17-18; etc.). The apostles would speak with authority, not only because they had the Holy Spirit teaching them, but also because they were eyewitnesses of the saving events of Christ's death and resurrection (John 14:26; 15:26-27). The apostles, therefore, were trained by Jesus to play a vital and unrepeatable role in the history of the church. While the Holy Spirit still dwells in the church, there are no more apostles, since an apostle was required to have been an eyewitness of the resurrected Christ (Acts 1:21-26; 5:32; Luke 1:1-4; Ephesians 3:4-5; I Corinthians 9:1). Given the fact that no one living during the past eighteen centuries has seen the risen Jesus (despite the claims of persons such as Joseph Smith), it is impossible that during this period we should have "apostles." The New Testament indicates rather clearly that the apostleship did end in the first century. In Paul's recounting of the resurrection appearances, he ends with his own, saying, "and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared also to me" (I Corinthians 15:8). Elsewhere, Paul speaks of the church as "having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone" (Ephesians 2:20). Just as we do not lay new cornerstones from time to time to replace the old one, so too, we do not lay a new foundation of apostles and prophets over and over. The foundation of the apostolic witness to Christ and the prophetic revelations which pointed to and interpreted the saving acts of Christ has been laid; it does not need to be laid again. Whenever teachers come along with "new revelations from God," they are attempting to lay a foundation which has already been laid (see I Corinthians 3:11). It is sometimes argued that Paul clearly implies the perpetuity of apostles and prophets in Ephesians 4:11-13. On a superficial reading of the passage, it might seem to be saying that Christ gave apostles and prophets to the church "until we all attain to the unity of the faith," thus implying that these offices continue until the church is perfected. This interpretation is incorrect, though, for the following reasons: (1) Paul has already set apostles and prophets in a class by themselves in Ephesians 2:20. (2) If apostles and prophets were intended by Christ to continue until the church was perfected, how is it that a second generation of apostles was never chosen? |

2nd post CHARIS Why did not the New Testament apostles appoint successors for themselves? And how is it that God's purpose in establishing the church could be so completely frustrated (Matthew 16:18; Jude 3)? (3) The point of Ephesians 4:11-13 is that "the building up of the body of Christ" (vs. 12) will continue "until" the church is matured (vs. 13). The first-century apostles and prophets have fully "equipped" (vs. 12a) the church with the revelations given in the New Testament, combined with the Old Testament, so that all of the information the church needs to do its tasks is contained in Scripture (II Timothy 3:16-17). The Epistle of Jude also bears witness to the first-century Christian conviction that the days of the apostles and of gospel revelations were foundational and not ongoing. Jude speaks of "the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 3). The expression "once for all" clearly indicates that the "delivery" of the faith is complete, so that we should not look for a new revelation. Indeed, the new teachings of certain persons (Jude 4) are condemned for this very reason. The way to avoid the trap of heresy, says Jude, is to "remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Jude 17). When Jude was writing, the apostles were either a phenomenon of the past, or were fast becoming so. The apostle Peter also made it clear that he thought the apostolic period was ending in his day. II Peter appears to have been written by Peter as he awaited martyrdom. In this epistle, he does not urge his readers to look to the next apostle or apostles for leadership, but rather to remember the apostolic message after he is gone (II Peter 1:12-15). Like Jude, Peter warns of false teachers who will take advantage of the lack of apostolic presence, and "secretly introduce destructive heresies" (2:1). The solution, says Peter, is to "remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles" (3:2). They are to seek diligently to follow the teachings of the apostles, particularly Paul, despite the fact that he is often misinterpreted by "the untaught and unstable" (3:14-16). Therefore, Peter did not look for the continuation of apostolic authority, but rather for the church to follow what the departing apostles had taught. Like Jude, he does not say, "Listen to the apostles living today" (as the Mormons and other groups with apostles say), but instead urges us, "Remember what the apostles said." That the apostleship was confined to the first-century church does not necessarily mean that only the Twelve and Paul were apostles. Barnabas (Acts 14:14) was certainly an apostle, as was Silas (I Thessalonians 2:6; cf. 1:1); Andronicus and Junia may also have been apostles (Romans 16:7). That Timothy is not included as an apostle in I Thessalonians 2:6 is implied by 3:1-2, where "we" means Paul and Silas distinct from Timothy. We know that Timothy was not an apostolic eyewitness of the risen Jesus, because he was led to Christ by Paul (I Timothy 1:12; 18; II Timothy 1:2; 2:1-2). There is no reason to doubt that Barnabas, Silas, Andronicus, and Junia may not all have been among the over 500 witnesses to the resurrection of Christ (I Corinthians 15:6), and thus "apostles" in the strict sense. Finally, the word "apostle" appears to be used in the sense of a church's missionary in Philippians 2:25 (of Epaphroditus, whom Paul calls "your apostle") and II Corinthians 8:23 ("apostles of the churches"). If so, these men have neither ecclesiastical authority nor revelational gifts; they are simply missionaries. This is not the sense in which "apostle" is used by those claiming to have restored the apostleship to the church. We conclude, then, that the apostleship ended with the death of the apostles appointed by Christ Himself in the first century. With them died the authority to speak definitively for God. We should therefore reject the claims of any religious organization or teacher who claims that the office of apostle has been restored to the church. Love in CHRIST JESUS your brother RC.Scroll |

As we know that in the garden paradise was lost and that when the lord sets up his kingdom here,behold I will create a new heaven and a new earth, we will once again live in paradise, since ther was a woman and a man in the paradise before the fall ,it is generally agree'd that there will be again.many scriptures support this view,rev 5:3 galatians3:28 pertains to and is discussing the fact that you know longer have to be a priest to enter the throne room,for we all have the highest priest of all Christ Jesus. love in Christ RCSCROLL | ||||||

Heaven will be paradise regained, the origanal question was will their be gender distinction, and as so stated there obvioously will be , before the fall there was and at in the kingdom there shall be also. As you so correctly stated gal 3:28 is present tense, how ever if you take it so literally then what about women teaching, are we to think that since their are none that they can now usurp authority over a man,God forbid. And as we study and grow in Christ we find even errors with any commentary , Im not stating that your commentary is wrong merely one authers truth,I don't understand why you can't see what I already have stated , this chapter does by inferance refer to the fact that we all can now enter into the holy of holies by our selves with no need of a priest, lets remember that the bible is of no private interpretation, and please never grasp anyones commentary as absolute truth , their not the word of God,try not using one for awhile and see if what you came up with lines up to them.May our Lord Jesus richly bless you in your understanding . P.S. anytime you talk about the law the priesthood is allways incorporated and so implied that women slaves or greek are not.Go all the way back to vs 19.About faith vs 23 faith allways has been only now we see it completely in Christ as in times past it was hid.Heb 11:27-31 love in Christ RCSCROLL | ||||||

remeber you the words that were spoken before of the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.Jude 1:17 past tense.Peter said that you may _(remember) what was said before of the prophets,and of the commandments of us the Apostles .past tense and we can remember thank God we have the word.Why would we have to remember if we still had them to warn us in person. The office of an apostle maybe could be described as a church planter today but they would not be doing miricles, for I have yet to see a blind man healed instantly or a dead man raised from dead,you only here you dont see . If an Apostle was walking the face of this earth he would only have to remain in one place all manner of sickness and deformaties would be healed.And we could have a news crew there 24-7 for all would be healed. Prophets told of the messiah coming,the office of a prophet to day tells of what he did and can do for them. one foretells of future events concerning Christ, and the one for today gos forthtelling of the events that took place. jeremiah 23 discribes what people who say they speak for God are verse20 and on.
