81 | Did Jesus come for the gentiles only? | Col 3:11 | ariel levin | 223644 | ||
Hello clreid, How about one of the first prophecies of the Messiah and one of the first promises to Abraham when God said "Through you all nations shall be blessed." Gen. 12:1-3 You might look into finding another bible teacher. There are minor differences of opinion that can be overlooked but to divorce God and His Messiah from His chosen people is just wrong.....(See Jer. 33:19-26)....it's totally unscriptural!! |

Shalom Azure, You known one possible reason for "unanswered" or "misanswered" prayer that biblenovice asked about is one that I'm sure most believers are guilty of: not waiting on the Lord. Like Abraham, we figure He needs a little human intervention or we jump on the first thing that comes along that fits into our budget assigning that as God's best. When we think we are in desperate need we forget how many times God's prophets urged His people to wait, to be still and to see God's mighty hand at work in our lives. Someone once shared this little gem with me: When God is preparing a work in our lives we can faintly see Him before us. But when He is actively doing a work in us (or for us) it's like He is out of sight, absent, we can only see clearly what He was doing after we have come through the thing. So when He seems the farthest away, that's actually the time that He is the closest. This is the time to be still and wait on the Lord. My 2cents to the mix |

Dear Beja, You are absolutely correct in that the promises are to all who are Avraham's seed. The arm of invitation went out to the goyim long before Messiah walked this earth - it just wasn't heard so well. But, I must agree with setonahill regarding Hos. 1:9. I read the Hebrew scriptures in Hebrew (slowly, like a third or fourth grader) but I know the words am, ammi, and goyim. Whenever the peoples being mentioned are Israel, the word used is Am (or ammi), for other nations, it's goyim (or goy). If the passage was discussing gentiles it should read lo ani goyim (mot my people) but it uses the ammi for my people (Israel). Could gentiles be included? Yes, and no, as they had always been invited but after conversion, they were no longer gentiles. If you know of any place in the Hebrew scriptures where the wording is ammi or am for gentiles, I'm open to correction....:o) |

85 | is this gentiles? | 1 Pet 2:9 | ariel levin | 224996 | ||
Dear Catarm63, The answer to your question is both yes and no. Originally, God chose Abraham and his descendants to be His chosen, set-apart people, but they were not to be exclusive. From the very beginning Gentiles were welcome to join Israel and Israel was to be lights in the dark world. Sadly, they failed in this mission. But God has not thrown them away. Since the crucifixion and ascension the gospel has gone out to the Gentiles and now they are to be the lights (along with any Hebrew who trusts in God's Messiah). Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. And in this way Paul's statement in Rom. 11:26, "...so all Israel shall be saved..." for all who trust in God's Messiah are the True Israel that Paul speaks of. |

86 | Do they who reign live 900 years? | Rev 20:1 | ariel levin | 224872 | ||
Shalom sonofmom, When I once questioned the need for the healing in the trees I was given a similar answer. I was told that the trees were there for those who were alive after the tribulation, but that their years would revert back to the 120 years God mandated toward the flood area. That seemed to make sense, since Rev. does speak of believers surviving to enter into the millenial era, while those who returned with Messiah would not need the healing as they would already be glorified. Does that sound like what the discussion was about? |

Doc, It was told me in a bible study as the OP got his information from. I didn't make any claims of the information being from the Bible proper or from a book, or that it was correct, just that a leader of a bible study shared this possibility. Since this was 20 some odd years ago I have no inclination to name all of the teachers I had back then. You wouldn't know them, they were local. |

88 | psalms... judgement chapter 1 verse 5 | Rev 20:15 | ariel levin | 225668 | ||
"...and punished with everlasting destruction, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power (Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:48; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10)...." So it's not an eternal punishment of torment, for 'destruction' means there's an ending, not a particularly good ending but an ending...?? |

89 | psalms... judgement chapter 1 verse 5 | Rev 20:15 | ariel levin | 225676 | ||
My question marks were just that. I was questioning the point that was stated. Destroy - to tear down; demolish; to break up or spoil completely; ruin; to bring to total defeat; crush; to put an end to; do away with; to kill ... (www.yourdictionary.com) - so Destruction is to have (been) destroyed, to have (been) torn down, to have (been) demolished, etc. Everlasting - Lasting or enduring forever; exsisting or continuingwithout end (www.dictionary.net) So that which was stated in the creed, reads like it's a destruction in totality at one time of something that has nothing left to be revived or rebuilt, not something going on forever but something no longer there. That's what I was questioning. |

BradK, please check my response prior to this one. I was questioning the wording of the creed that had been shared. The words chosen have meanings that are different from what is normally taught. | ||||||

Beja, I've been following your discussion with Ed and I think you're missing the fact that what Ed is saying is not that there's not a future judgment, but that there is no need of one. I think he agrees that scripture clearly states that there is a Throne judgment of all the unsaved, he's just simply stating what scripture also says, when the unrepentant dies in his/her sins, judgment at that moment is passed, the day of salvation for that person has come and gone. Because he is right in that there really is no need of a judgment and because you are right in that there is indeed a future judgment it gives me hope to think that because the latter judgment is on the "deeds" of the unrepentant, that perhaps there are levels of punishment, that the "good person" who just happened to not be a saved person is not judged or punished equally with the truly evil unrepentant. (As there are different rewards and crowns to be handed out to His own according to their works or deeds, hopefully there will be lesser and greater degrees of punishment for the unsaved also according to their works and or deeds. There are some mighty fine unsaved people who have lived in this world and done wonderful things for humankind.) |

Beja, It seems that Ed cleared up the confusion himself. I'm sorry, but I was able to take his references and understand what he was trying to say. :o) |
