61 | The coming kingdom of antichrist? | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 134233 | ||
Tim Moran, It is my impression that the second verse that I had listed here reinforces the literal veracity of the first verse mentioned. Hence, the idea that the man Antichrist will undergo an actual physical resurrection, as opposed to simply imitated. A few of the Old Testament saints (Enoch and Elijah, some say Moses) had achieved physical immortality themselves. Why then would it be wondrous if the man Antichrist also possessed physical immortality like these others? These types of things only seem fantastic to us, because we have never seen them with our own eyes. Yet, our own personal experiences generally fall far short, when it comes to interpreting the greater spiritual reality around us. - Revelation 13 3 I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; (NAS95) Revelation 13 12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. (NAS95) - Further, although it is common for governments to be referred to as beasts or statues in the bible, these illustrations are commonly followed by more specific descriptions that refer to individual people as well. - Daniel 2 31 "You, O king, were looking and behold, there was a single great statue; that statue, which was large and of extraordinary splendor, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was awesome. 32 "The head of that statue was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze, (NAS95) Daniel 2 37 "You, O king, are the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength and the glory; 38 and wherever the sons of men dwell, or the beasts of the field, or the birds of the sky, He has given them into your hand and has caused you to rule over them all. You are the head of gold. (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

62 | How is the term "morning star" used? | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 134235 | ||
EdB, I guess I've seen Satan as once truly possessing the bright light of the morning star, hence the former name of "Lucifer". However, the name "Lucifer" (morning star) was lost when he fell, and the name of "Satan" (accuser) was afterward acquired. Are you suggesting that "Satan" (accuser) is still "Lucifer" (morning star)? I thought that title was lost for a lesser one. Granted, he still possesses a psuedo-glory. - Isaiah 14 12 "How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations! (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

66 | Doc and EdB: regarding common-law | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 135390 | ||
Doc and EdB, I greatly apologize for getting heated on this topic. I've obtained legal counsel which has informed me, that I would have to engage in a common-law marriage to retain my medical benefits. Thus, if I get married with a marriage contract, I will lose precious medical treatments, but if I am declared to have a common-law marriage by the government, I will actually retain my medical benefits. This is because I have made no legal agreements with the government concerning either medical disability or marriage liabilities. Rather, I have successfully legally adjured the court to provide medical disability, in the absence of any agreements with them on my part. I'm sorry to say that, although I've read the scriptures you've each provided, I fail to see their applicability in my situation. As per Romans 13:1-7, I will abide by legal counsel and embrace common-law marriage, as afforded by the government, whereby I will retain vital medical treatments. The government had previously left me without vital medications for many years, due to legal loopholes and weaknesses within the governmental system, so that I had lost several times by body's blood supply over a course of twelve years. Basically, my internal organs had leaked blood for 2000 days out of 4000 days (twelve years), so that my blood hemoglobin levels were at one-half of what they should be (anemia). Nonetheless, God has sustained me, despite the government's repeated failings. However, with the government's track record of acute medical negligence, I do not find it feasible to place my health at risk in this way again. Although, I would gladly break the law to avoid the unnecessary removal of my digestive tract, it appears that I won't have to, with the government's gracious provision of common-law marriage. In this way, my foods will not have to be liquified and permanently injected through tubes. I am 36 years old. It appears that the previous thread was locked down, so I'll refrain posting further than this on the matter. As I say, I did read each of your scripture units, and could not make the applicable connections with my situation. Romans 13:1-7 directs me to go with the government's provision of common-law marriage, in the absence of a written marriage contract. - Romans 13 1 Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. 3 For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; 4 for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. 5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience' sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. 7 Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. (NAS95) - Doc and EdB, I thank each of you for your energies on the matter. I will not respond to this thread further. - Blessings, Reighnskye |

Kalos, My original question was: "Are the interpretive applications of scripture, as presented by the moderators of the Study Bible Forum, representative of the views of the Lockman Foundation and the translators of the NASB?" In response, Tim wrote: "What moderators my friend? This is an unmoderated site!" By moderator, I mean any who have the authority to restrict a thread. And yes, it would be more proper for me to say that one of my previous threads had been restricted from appearing on the homepage. I had also placed what I thought was a valid follow-up in the question board, but it was stealthily removed within the space of an hour, before anyone could answer it. Thus it will effectively become dead. I'm just not precisely certain which of the four forum guidelines that I had violated, that my first thread would be restricted or the second question "removed", as the moderator had put it. I seem to be at a loss. - Blessings, Reighnskye |

Tim, My original question was: "Are the interpretive applications of scripture, as presented by the moderators of the Study Bible Forum, representative of the views of the Lockman Foundation and the translators of the NASB?" However, you stated: 1. "'Moderator' has a specific meaning when it comes to forums and boards. A moderator reads every post and decides whether or not to allow the post. This forum does not have a moderator." Perhaps then I should use a term other than moderator, although I'm not sure what term I should use. Perhaps "enforcer"? I think we're beginning to play semantics here, but well enough. - 2. "However, abuse reports can be filed on a post and a thread can then be restricted, but not removed. As Kalos pointed out, restriction simply keeps the thread from appearing on the homepage - it does not remove it from the forum. It can still be searched for, read, and posted to. Thus, this site is unmoderated." I'm still not precisely certain which of the four forum guidelines I had abused. Any remote ideas? - Blessings, Reighnskye |

76 | Covenants in effect today? | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 135499 | ||
Emmaus, You stated: "God made covenants with Adam Noah Abraham Moses David Jesus who is God" Which of these covenants are still in effect today? And does the Apocrypha shed any light on this? - Blessings, Reighnskye |

77 | Covenants in effect today? | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 135504 | ||
Emmaus, I guess that I often see people getting the Old Testament covenants mixed up with the New Covenant of Christ's blood. Instead of interpreting the Old Testament through the greater revelation of the New Testament, I often see the laws and rules of the Old Testament projected by people over the New Testament. A reverse eclipse often takes place, of sorts. - As far as the Apocrypha might be concerned, I view the Book of Enoch as a valid apocryphal book, insofar as the Book of Jude quotes from it. Jude 1 14 It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, 15 to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."

Kalos, Thank you very much for the reference. Am I bound by these eights covenants today? Are they all applicable for today? - "I. The Eight Covenants, Summary: (1) The Edenic Covenant (See Scofield "Genesis 1:26") conditioned the life of man in innocency. (2) The Adamic Covenant (See Scofield "Genesis 3:14") conditions the life of fallen man and gives promise of a Redeemer. (3) The Noahic Covenant (See Scofield "Genesis 9:1") establishes the principle of human government. (4) The Abrahamic Covenant (See Scofield "Genesis 15:18") founds the nation of Israel, and confirms, with specific additions, the Adamic promise of redemption. (5) The Mosaic Covenant (See Scofield "Exodus 19:25") condemns all men, "for that all have sinned." (6) The Palestinian Covenant (See Scofield "Deuteronomy 30:3") secures the final restoration and conversion of Israel. (7) The Davidic Covenant (See Scofield "2 Samuel 7:16") establishes the perpetuity of the Davidic family (fulfilled in Christ, Matthew 1:1; Luke 1:31-33,; Romans 1:3) and of the Davidic kingdom, over Israel, and over the whole earth; to be fulfilled in and by Christ (2 Samuel 7:8-17; Zechariah 12:8; Luke 1:31-33; Acts 15:14-17; 1 Corinthians 15:24). (8) The New covenant rests upon the sacrifice of Christ, and secures the eternal blessedness, under the Abrahamic Covenant Galatians 3:13-29 of all who believe. It is absolutely unconditional, and, since no responsibility is by it committed to man, it is final and irreversible. II. The relation of Christ to the eight covenants is as follows: (1) To the Edenic Covenant, Christ, as the "second Man," the "last Adam" 1 Corinthians 15:45-47 takes the place over all things which the first Adam lost ; Colossians 2:10; Hebrews 2:7-8. (2) He is the "Seed of the woman" of the Adamic Covenant Genesis 3:15; John 12:31; 1 John 3:8; Galatians 4:4; Revelation 20:10 and fulfilled its conditions of toil Mark 6:3 and obedience. (3) As the greatest son of Shem, in Him was fulfilled supremely the promise to Shem in the Noahic Covenant. (See Scofield "Genesis 9:1") Colossians 2:9. (4) He is the "Seed to whom the promises were made" in the Abrahamic Covenant; the son of Abraham obedient unto death Genesis 22:18; Galatians 3:16; Philippians 2:8. (5) He lived sinlessly under the Mosaic covenant and bore for us its curse. Galatians 3:10-13. (6) He lived obediently as a Jew in the land under the Palestinian Covenant, and will yet perform it gracious promises Deuteronomy 28:1-30:9. (7) He is the "Seed," "Heir," and "King" under the Davidic Covenant Matthew 1:1; Luke 1:31-33. (8) His sacrifice is the foundation of the New Covenant Matthew 26:28; 1 Corinthians 11:25. ____________________ (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/ScofieldReferenceNotes/) Footnote at Hebrews 8:8" - Do all of these eight covenants apply to us today? Am I bound if I break any of these covenants? - Blessings, Reighnskye |

79 | identifying modalism: church prevalence? | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 135530 | ||
How prevalent is the doctrine of "modalism" in the church? And how is it precisely identified? If I am understanding correctly, "modalism" partly involves the idea that the Old Testament appearances of God are actually Jesus the Son appearing, as if the Father and the Son were one single being, that changed form now and then. For example, when God appeared to Moses in the burning bush. Was that the Father or the Son, or both? Can't be both, right? - In contrast, here are some references to the Holy Trinity in the context of divine scripture: Matthew 28 19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, (NAS95) 2 Corinthians 13 14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. (NAS95) - And here are some verses in the New Testament, wherein we have the divine appearance of all three members of the Holy Trinity simultaneously. Matthew 3 13 Then Jesus *arrived from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John, to be baptized by him. 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, 17 and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased." (NAS95) Mark 1 9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him; 11 and a voice came out of the heavens: "You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased." (NAS95) - And here are some verses from both the New Testament and the Old Testament, wherein the Father and the Son directly and simultaneously interact with each other. John 12 23 And Jesus *answered them, saying, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 28 "Father, glorify Your name." Then a voice came out of heaven: "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again." 29 So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, "An angel has spoken to Him." 30 Jesus answered and said, "This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes. (NAS95) Daniel 7 9 "I kept looking Until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days took His seat; His vesture was like white snow And the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with flames, Its wheels were a burning fire. 10 "A river of fire was flowing And coming out from before Him; Thousands upon thousands were attending Him, And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; The court sat, And the books were opened. 13 "I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. 14 "And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed. (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

Hank, There is certainly an innumerable score of heresies which litter our world, and indeed many have infiltrated, if not originated, from our own organized religious systems. Modalism would largely be a succession then of Father, Son and Holy Spirit? Mere manifestations of a greater cosmic God? Their are weaknesses in the doctrine, certainly, assuming we hold to the veracity of scripture. Subordinationism then places a ranking among the members of the Triune Godhead. And Tritheism asserts that there are three separate gods. Okay, that makes sense. Now, in regards to Trinity (Triunity), I've been told that it is not something that we can readily comprehend with our finite minds, but rather it can only be apprehended. Although, I'm not quite certain of the differentiation. I also view the Holy Spirit as possessing distinct personality, even as the Holy Spirit spoke with a direct voice to the early church. Acts 13 2 While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." 3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. (NAS95) - Although, I have many times directly experienced the flow of supernatural energies from my torso and limbs, I have been careful to differentiate between the personality of the Holy Spirit and the power of the Holy Spirit. I can easily understand how some can reduce God to a mere energy force in this sense, if they are held sway to a lesser discernment of God's divine nature. As to where in the world that I get all of my complex questions, I have been myself saturated with supernatural experience, that triggers a more delicate sensitivity to heresies within the church. I engage in a practice of fasting and wake extension, which accelerates this supernatural sensitivity. In other words, amid directly encountering a number of the members of the various archonic species, I find that I must more specifically isolate the ways that God operates. The local church has been hard-put to provide sound education concerning the intricacies of doctrine. Thus I must investigate more thouroughly, in this sense. Thank you for your clarifications on this matter of doctrine. - Blessings, Reighnskye |
