41 | Has the church replaced Israel? | Rom 11:25 | bjh | 139115 | ||
Nicely put. | ||||||
42 | Can you clarify your previous post? | Rom 11:25 | bjh | 139116 | ||
Sorry about that... Some say that the Israel of the Old Testament and the Church of the New Testament are one group. They would say that the Church is Israel. Others say that because of the Jews' (Israel's) rejection of the Messiah, they have been displaced (rather than "replaced") for a time as God's people. Yet, one day God will deal with the Jews (Israel) again. |

43 | He-man, All the promises of Abraham? | Rom 11:25 | bjh | 139208 | ||
That's a good question. The Bible speaks of a New Heaven and a New Earth - Rev 21:1 ff. It looks like the answer is "yes" there will be both, and that we will have free access to either place. | ||||||
44 | Can you clarify your previous post? | Rom 11:25 | bjh | 139231 | ||
True, very true. My guess is that some would say that the Jews are no longer the "True Israel", but that the "Israel of God" (Gal 6:16) is the church and is now a mix of Jews and Gentiles. (But I, myself, do not hold that position.) |

45 | What about observing special days? | Rom 14:5 | bjh | 138192 | ||
If we observe to honor the Lord, then that's what we should do. If our motive is to honor the lord by not observing, then we should not observe. Whether we observe or not isn't the issue, it's our motives in doing either that matter. |

47 | What does this really mean? | 1 Cor 11:27 | bjh | 146190 | ||
"Judging the body rightly" has a lot to do with eating and drinking worthily. I felt your other question touched on this. The church as the body of Christ is a familiar theme in 1 Corinthians. A man must examine himself, he is no better than anyone else at the table. "We who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread." (1 Cor 10:17) The problem in Corinth is that they didn't see past their own desires. Paul is saying "If you're hungry, eat at home. Here, at the Lord's table, it's important that everyone partakes. You are all a part of one body." |

48 | Were human authors aware of inspiration? | 2 Tim 3:16 | bjh | 92621 | ||
Did the human authors of Scripture (Moses, Samuel, Matthew, Paul, etc.) know that they were writing God's Word (i.e., Did they know that what they wrote was "inspired" or "God-breathed")? | ||||||
49 | Were human authors aware of inspiration? | 2 Tim 3:16 | bjh | 92626 | ||
That's an interesting response. I was at another forum where the answer was "No, they didn't". That answer bothers me. The example given was Luke's statement to Theophilus in Lk 1, "It seemed good to me..." That answer, however, doesn't seem to address the issue of whether or not Luke (or the rest) knew that they were writing was Scripture. In my original question here, I'm not sure if I made myself clear as to whether or not they even knew it was Scripture. (I called it as such, because that's how we view it.) I do, however, tend towards the "Yes, they did know that their writing was God-breathed (and that it is Scripture)." |

50 | was Samson a good man | Heb 11:32 | bjh | 92725 | ||
My first instinct is to have you define "good". Luke 18:19 says, "No one is good, except for God alone." So in that sense, no human being is good except for Jesus Christ. I pointed you to Hebrews 11, because here we look back at men of faith. The author, here, includes Samson among them. Was he good in that sense. Yes. Was he perfect. No, but then nobody is (except for God). |

51 | Why will God judge the church? | 1 Pet 4:17 | bjh | 97393 | ||
The Judgment seat of Christ is not in regards to His wrath (and hence, it does not result in condemnation). However, believers are judged based on the works we have done. (2 Cor 5:10) See also 1 Cor 3:10-15. 1 Peter seems to be speaking of a purification, so that the good stuff remains, and the bad stuff burns off. This sort of parallels 1 Cor 3. |

52 | confession for the Forgiven? | 1 John 1:9 | bjh | 154280 | ||
Maybe 1 John 1:9 isn't a condensed version of the conversion experience. Note John does say "we", why is he not including himself? It seems to me that the issue at hand is not conversion, but rather fellowship. If we sin, we are out of fellowship with Him. Once our sin is acknowledged and forgiven, our fellowship is restored. |

53 | association between demons and vomiting | Jude 1:8 | bjh | 92716 | ||
I'm not sure where the modern practice came from. Christ, himself, cast out demons. (Luke 8:27ff; Luke 9:42ff; Luke 11:14ff) so did the apostles (Acts 8:7; Acts 19:12ff). However, consider what Jude has to say. In verse 8 and the following verses, Jude gives strong warnings about casting out demons. |

54 | Gog follow up question | Rev 20:1 | bjh | 105002 | ||
Regarding the "further explanation"...Perhaps what was meant is that in Romans 8, we do not read about creation being "burned up" (like in 2 Peter 3:10) but rather being set free. The language of Romans 8:18-22 looks to the restoration of the present earth (rather than to a new earth). Further characteristics of that time of restoration are found in Isaiah 11 and 60-66. The actual lifespan for the restored earth comes from Rev 20 (a thousand years). | ||||||
