21 | Where does Bible say Jesus is Michael? | Rev 12:7 | danieln | 55692 | ||
i dont think it explicitly says it anywhere but the implication is there, i think that Michael is preincarnate(before he assumed a human body) Jesus. 1. the name Michael means 'who is like God?' 2. he and his angels fight the dragon and chuck him out of heaven (Rev 12:7) 3. Contention with the devil (Jud 1:9) 4. 'Prince' of Israel (Dan 10:21) The earlier Protestant scholars usually identified Michael with the preincarnate Christ, finding support for their view, not only in the juxtaposition of the "child" and the archangel in Rev. 12, but also in the attributes ascribed to him in Daniel i guess the reason he is not called Michael now is because he still has his glorified ressurection body. dan |

22 | question to smoke pot or not | Gen 1:12 | danieln | 54757 | ||
that may be true but... glue is a useful product, i used some just yesterday to fix something, yet i would not want me or one of my friends to become a glue sniffer. what im trying to say is that i dont think that those things affect whether to smoke pot or not. |

23 | question to smoke pot or not | Gen 1:12 | danieln | 54751 | ||
that verse is talking about before the fall. there are many posionous/harmful plants these days which i would not advocate eating/smoking (eg poison ivy) 1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? |

oh yeah, the parable about the dude who hired people to work in his vineyard.. could be interpreted to mean that all people get the same reward, has multiple meanings i think though (like the jews/gentiles now on equal footing etc..) Mat 20:1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. Mat 20:2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. Mat 20:3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, Mat 20:4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Mat 20:5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. Mat 20:6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? Mat 20:7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. Mat 20:8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. Mat 20:9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. Mat 20:10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. Mat 20:11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, Mat 20:12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. Mat 20:13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? Mat 20:14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. Mat 20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? Mat 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. |

25 | degrees of heaven? | Matt 5:19 | danieln | 51336 | ||
maybe its not talking about your position in heaven, but how you are reguarded by heaven. to paraphrase: whoever breaks one of the small commandments and and teaches others to do so is viewed(by heaven) as the least(worst) of humankind, but he who practises them and teaches others so is viewed as the greatest. i personally dont believe there are degrees of heaven. |

26 | are there any souls in heaven , | 2 Cor 5:8 | danieln | 51064 | ||
hiya, sure there are some souls in heaven.. as in the soul or entirety of our human being Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. notice that god did not insert a soul into adams body but he breathed life into the body and it became a living soul, living soul equals body plus breath of life(spirit) also the soul(being the entirety of the human being) dies when we die Psa 33:19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Psa 56:13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living? Eze 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. as for 1 Thess 4 this chapter is takling about the 2nd comming of Jesus, it talks about how as Jesus was resurected and so shall we. It uses the term asleep to describe the people currently dead which agrees with the rest of scripture Ecc 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Psa 146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. |

Well i looked up the meanings of the two words and i guess you have a point Emmaus. Papal infallibility (R. C. Ch.), the dogma that the pope can not, when acting in his official character of supreme pontiff, err in defining a doctrine of Christian faith or rule of morals, to be held by the church. This was decreed by the Ecumenical Council at the Vatican, July 18, 1870. Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, © 1996, 1998 MICRA, Inc. Still i would like to know the reason the pope is considered infallible, surely the bible is our infallible guide to the christain faith and morals |

28 | difference Christian and catholic | Acts 11:26 | danieln | 50972 | ||
I agree that we can (and should) forgive each other. Mat 6:14 "If you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you, your Father in heaven will also forgive you. Mat 18:21-22 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, if my brother keeps on sinning against me, how many times do I have to forgive him? Seven times?" "No, not seven times," answered Jesus, "but seventy times seven, but i do not think we can presume to take the place of God and forgive sins for him. Mark 2:7 "How does he dare talk like this? This is blasphemy! God is the only one who can forgive sins!" in fact you will notice that the two things that are called blasphemous in the NT are forgiveness of sins and saying one is God on ths earth (John 10:33) |

Hi Emmaus, i think you need to clarify which part of what Jesusman said you beleive is inaccurate. | ||||||
30 | difference Christian and catholic | Acts 11:26 | danieln | 50946 | ||
I beleive there are many sincere catholic christians, but the catholic system itself i dont think can legitimatly call itself christian for the simple fact that they deny that salvation and forgiveness is a gift freely offered by Jesus to everyone. from what i have heard they believe salvation is attained solely by membership in the catholic chruch and forgiveness by catholic priests |

31 | Most accurate Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | danieln | 50944 | ||
Hi all, personally my favorite for absolute literalness is Youngs Literal Translation(YLT). I use KJV most of the time but in some areas it is colored by the beliefs of the writers. eg check out this Titus 1:2(KJV) In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; Titus 1:2(YLT) upon hope of life age-during, which God, who doth not lie, did promise before times of ages, if you study with concordances and the origonal greek text etc.. you will find the KGV is out in this instance by the way a great tool to do all this sort of stuff is at http://www.e-sword.net its totally free and has bibles, concordances, dictionarys and more in a great program |

32 | When did the catholic church go wrong? | Bible general Archive 1 | danieln | 26528 | ||
Hi Ed, as long Satan is alive and kicking there will always be a need for reform, eg. throughout the old testament prophets were calling for Israel to reform her ways and Paul sent some letters to some of his churches telling them to get back on track i think |

33 | When did the catholic church go wrong? | Bible general Archive 1 | danieln | 26527 | ||
whoa what a thread, imho the biggest problem was probably what Luther was mainly concerned with, Salvation by faith. many people were overjoyed to find out that Jesus loved them so much personally and that he will aways forgive us. as for the first error, that would have to be sunday law ;) |

34 | Is satan a spirit? | Ezek 28:14 | danieln | 26525 | ||
Satan is a living thinking being. Ezekiel 28:14 "You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire. cherub is another word for angel. |

35 | Did Jesus go to hell after dying? | Ephesians | danieln | 26524 | ||
Hey guys, I dont believe he went to hell in the 'traditionalist' sense ;)i think that the fact that Jesus died for our sins is proof that this is the punishment that will be the fate of the unsaved in the end(not unending conscious torment :)). Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 2 Peter 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; Deuteronomy 8:20 Like the nations the LORD destroyed before you, so you will be destroyed for not obeying the LORD your God. Psalm 37:38 But all sinners will be destroyed; the future of the wicked will be cut off. Psalm 92 6 The senseless man does not know, fools do not understand, 7 that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed. 8 But you, O LORD, are exalted forever. Proverbs 21:28 A false witness will perish, and whoever listens to him will be destroyed forever. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. |

37 | Will we know our loved ones in heaven? | 2 Sam 12:23 | danieln | 26177 | ||
Hi Nolan, 1 Thessalonians 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. this is telling us that the Dead in Christ will be resurrected at the second comming is it not? Indeed if we are already in heaven after we die what is the need for the second resurrection As for the Parable of the Rich man and Lazarus, this is a parable and i beleive it is symbolic, not literal. Most parables are symbolic (ie Matthew 13:24 Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.) I dont believe that we have consiousness once dead: Psalm 146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.(this clearly says the dead do not experience any 'reward' or bliss after death - and how could they if their thoughts have perished) but of course i believe that we will see our loved ones once in heaven (so long as they are saved too), but after the 2nd comming and resurrection. daniel |

hi kalos, since when did a view being different from mainstream make it wrong? Jesus had quite a different view to mainstream Jewish belief in his time. Luthers 'salvation by faith' concept wasnt the most popular idea when he rediscovered it either |

Hi Tim, How does the prophecy in Daniel 9 obviously tell us to convert days to years? Surely if we apply the "day to a year" rule here we might apply it in Daniel 12. Daniel 9 (NIV minus the notes) 25 "Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven sevens, and sixty-two sevens. It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 After the sixty-two sevens, the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one seven. In the middle of the seven he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing (of the temple) he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. nothing here tells me that days are converted to years, yet Jesus was baptised 483 years later(seven sevens, and sixty-two sevens.) thanks daniel |

in those texts God is telling the future events of Israel. what is prophecy but God telling us future events? the passages have everthing to do with prophecy plus: (a). Jews and Christians have used this principle for centuries.(1) (b). The prophecy in Daniel chapter 9 is ridiculous without it.(2) Also, the 490 years of chapter 9 is cut off from the longer period of chapter 8, thus indicating that the day-for-a-year principle must also apply in Daniel 8. (c). In Dan. 8: 13 it says "How long will the vision be…?". This vision of chapter 8 runs from the ram (Medo-Persia) right through to the activities of papal Rome. Therefore the 2300 period must cover Medo-Persia, Greece, Imperial Rome and papal Rome. (d). The prophecy of Daniel chapter 8 starts with Medo-Persia but we are told it relates to the "time of the end". Therefore the 2300 period must certainly be a long period of time to take us to the time of the end.(3) (e). A literal 3 1/2 years does not fit in Daniel 7:25. The kingdom of the horn with eyes and a mouth referred to in this verse is a more significant kingdom in the vision than the empires that reigned before it. All these previous kingdoms lasted for many decades. Also God judges the horn with eyes and a mouth towards the end of earth's history when He gives the dominion to His Son. So it must continue for a long time after the downfall of Imperial Rome. (f). These time periods are characterised by symbolic language. This should point us to considering a day-for-a-year principle as applying. After all, why would one want to use symbolic language unless there was some deeper meaning behind the time period mentioned? (g). The idea of a day standing for a year is relatively common in Scripture. See, for example, Nu.14: 34; Eze. 4: 6; Ge. 29: 27; Le. 25: 3,4.(4) (1). Froom L. E., The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, Washington DC, Review and Herald, 1950, vol.1, p. 176, 203. (2). Seventy weeks is literally only about one and a half years. How can this be enough time to accomplish what is in the prophecy? 490 years fits perfectly when we add in the dates for the decree and the Messiah's coming. (3). By studying Daniel 11: 35 and 12: 7-10 along with Daniel 7: 25 we can see that the "time of the end" when Daniel's prophecies would be unsealed started at the end of the 1260 years of persecution ie. 1798. (4). In Le. 25:3,4 the week is used to symbolise a seven-year cycle with the seventh-day Sabbath representing the seventh year of rest. |
