301 | Can salvation be lost? | Phil 2:12 | ebrain | 167547 | ||
No, salvation cannot be lost, read John 10:27-30, and Luke 15:4-7, this passage takes care of thoes persons who say "Ah yes but you can take yourself out of His hand". We know that all these sheep are christians, because they have no need of repentance, as they have allready repented, including the one who wandered off, Jesus found him, he repented again, and was brought back and returned to the sheep fold, (Jesus's hand). Regarding Philippians 2:12, note that the first word is "Therefore", now whenever you come across this word, ask yourself, what is therefore there for, well it is asking you to regard the previous passage, in this case verses 5 to 11, and to apply same to yourself as explained in verse 13. Verses 5-11, explain how Jesus behaved towards His Father. You are required to adopt the same attitude, and verse 13 tells you how this is done. Note the word "you" is plural, but it can also be considered in the same way as Paul does in Gal 2:20, "Christ/God lives in me". Verse 13 tells you that it is God who is at work in you, both making His will known, and then It is He who does it, but He will only do it if you allow Him to do it. How to let Him do His will is explained by Jesus in John 5:19. and 30, also in John 14:8-10, especially verse 10. you may also find Acts 2:22, helpfull in this respect. I hope that the above is of help. |

302 | how will i be known to others in heaven? | 1 Cor 15:53 | ebrain | 167543 | ||
Peter who had never seen Moses, or Elijah knew who they were when he met them, see Matt 17:4. How He knew, Scripture does not tell us, but I feel sure that when you get there, you will have no problem, but here is a question for you. Will men and women both have the same type of bodies, that is to say having no primary, or secondary sex organs, as there is no need for reproduction after we are resurrected? |

303 | Did more than one God make man? | Bible general Archive 3 | ebrain | 167497 | ||
Hi Princess MJ. Thank you for your post. Have a look at Isaiah 48:12-16, and you will find that the last part of v 16, indicates that the person speaking in the first part of this verse is Jesus, also it's a great verse in the O.T. to show the Trinity. |

304 | How did they know it was a prophesy? | Hos 11:1 | ebrain | 167489 | ||
All Scripture is given by the inspiration of God, therefore Matthew wrote down what the Holy Spirit told him to write. This also shows that Bible verses can have more than one application, but remember that it is the Holy Spirit who gives the interpretation to the reader/listener. |

To show that a passage of Scripture can have more than one meaning/understanding/interptetation, which you maintained it could not, but thank you for admitting that "Of course there others mentioned in both places" Bless you brother Jeff. Edwin. |

306 | did jesus decend into hell and retriev | Luke 23:46 | ebrain | 167369 | ||
No He did not. the Scripture normally quoted to indicate that He did is 1st Peter 3:18-20, but this only refers to the Spirit of Christ in Naoh preaching to the people who were alive in Noah's day, but who are now in prison, see also 2nd Peter 2:4-5. Don't forget that Jesus said "It is finished" before He died, therefore no need to go to Hell. |

Thank you Jeff for your post, please let me know who you think the Lord is talking about in the 11th Chapter of Hosea, and who He is talking about at Matthew 2:13-15. Thank you. Every blessing. Edwin. |

308 | Biblical Interpretation? | John 7:17 | ebrain | 167343 | ||
Thank you gospelmann for your post. Please allow me to say the following. Quote, "If you love me you will keep my commands". The greek at this verse means "If you love me you will do what I have told you to do, what I am telling you to do, and what I will tell you to do". |

Thank you Kalos. What is really concerning sgosh is that as there are different interpretations of Scripture, how can he be sure that he can obtain the correct one. That is why I drew his attention to the verses refered to. In other words, the Holy Spirit has to be allowed by you to reveal the truth to you. This is clearly demonstreatd by our Lord Jesus at John 5:30, where Jesus tells us that adopting the attitude of "Not my will, but thine be done" enables Him to speak as He did at John 7:16. I would conclude from this that christians who arrive at a wrong interpretation of Scripture, do so because they do not do what Jesus makes clear must be done, if the Spirit is to reveal truth to them. It must, however, be pointed out that sometimes a verse of Scripture may have more than one interpretation, as for example, Hos 11:1, with Matt 2;15. |

Have a look at John Ch 7 vs 16, and 17, where you are told how you can know. This is confirmed at Luke 24:32, how will you know, does your heart burn within you? If you wish, feel free to contact me at pabrain@indent.co.uk May the Lord bless you abundantly, and keep you safe. Edwin Brain. |

Continuation Part 2. In conclusion, let me re state the case. The example given in Matt 16 is unique, and cannot be committed again to-day, as it was a once and for all rejection by Israel of it's Messiah during the first Century, however, blasphemy of the Holy Spirit to-day is rejection of His conviction of sin, which will not be forgiven. If you still cannott see what I am trying to convey, then I don't know what more I can do. |

314 | is there proof in scripture of that? | Bible general Archive 3 | ebrain | 167220 | ||
Have a look at Genesie 1:1-2, in verse 1 we are introduced to God the creator, and in verse 2, to the Holy Spirit. John 1:3, tells us that all things were made through Jesus, and without Him was not anything made that was made. I have no difficulty in seeing all three persons of the Godhead active in the creation. In Colossians at 2:9, we are told that in Him, that is in the Lord Jesus the whole fullness of Diety dwells bodily, that is to say all there is of the Father, all there is of the Son, and all there is of the Holy Spirit, dwelling whithin the person of the Lord Jesus. |

Continuation of my last post. Now have a look at John 3:13, and Hosea 5:15. the word "Offence", or guilt, or trespass, is a singular noun in the Hebrew, and refers to one sin, and only one sin, namely the rejection by the Leaders of Israel,and therefore the whole Nation of Israel of their Messiah. They Nation will in due course acknowledge their offence and repent, as indicated at Zechariah 12:10. Further comments are made by our Lord Jesus at Matt 12:41-42, where He refers to "this generation", meaning of course the people he was talking to at that time. I Hope that I have made it clear that the blasphemy that is committed in the 21st Century is in no way the same as that refered to at Matthew 12:22-32. I will have to leave this computer shortly, as someone eles wants to use it. I will read what I have said, and will see if I think that any more needs to be said. |

Dear Jeff. Please rest assured that you have not offended me, dissapointed perhaps, but not offended. Regarding your inclusion of an extract from Easton's Bible, I find myself in complete agreement with the sentiments expressed, in fact I support both views, I feel sure that it has not escaped your notice that the first example is in fact an example of calling the Holy Spirit a lier. Let me now deal with each example in more detail, dealing first with the 21st Century. The only way in which a person can become a christian, is as a result of the conviction of the Holy Spirit, that the person in question is a sinner, and in desperate need of salvation, the response can be either acceptance, in which case the person will become a christian, and have their sins forgiven, or rejection, in which case there is no forgivness. Rejection is the same as calling the Holy Soirit a lier. Now the 1st Century, the Pharisees taught that anyone could perforn miracles who was empowered to do so by the Holy Spirit, but there were certain miracles that only Messiah when He came would be able to perform, these included, opening the eyes of a person born blind, clensing the leper, raising the dead after three days, and casting out a dumb spirit. This is why the people said "Is not this man the son of David", the unpoken words being this man has just done what you have allways told us could only be done by Messiah? The Pharisses who enjoyed their position of authority, and power over the people, and had no intention of "Having this man to rule over us", knew full well that if they admitted to the people that this man was indeed the Messiah, they were finished, and what's more would judged by Him. Jesus maintained that it was by the Holy Spirit that He cast out the dumb spirit, they in effect said, you are a lier, it is by the power of the Devil that you have done this, thereby committing two sins, one against the Son of God by inferring that He was a lier, and at the same time blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. This is confirmed by Jesus, when at verse 32 He identifies both the Son of Man, and the Holy Soirit, as having been sinned against. To be continued. |

Further to the above, the Hebrew word translated "us" is a plural noun, and although the Hebrew plural means three or more, that is not it's prime meaning here, beter understood as overflowing, like "Holy Holy Holy", it is in fact difficult for me to describe, no doubt others will give a more comprensive explanation. | ||||||

No the Lord is refering to what we call the Trinity, one God in three persons, this word is made up of two parts, Tri, which means three, and unity, which means one. If you want to know more about the Trinity, then go to the right of this page, and in the space headed Word(s) or ID No, type in the word Trinity, and then hit search. |

319 | Where in the bible does it say that Jesu | Rev 1:18 | ebrain | 167165 | ||
There are two passages of Scripture, that people may have heard read out, and cannot remember what exactly was word for word said, and are as a result confused. These verses are found at Matthew 16:18-19, and 1st Peter 3:18-20. Jesus of course did not go to hell, He said "It is finished", before He died, therefore no visit to hell was required. What Peter is refering to in these verses is that it was the Spirit of Jesus preaching through Noah, to the people who were alive in Noah's day, and who are now in prison awaiting judgment. Peter has similar thoughts in mind at 2nd Peter 2:4-5. I hope that this might be of some help. |
