Good day Doc, Thank you for your kind explanation and suggestion. Have a great day! |

23 | Hello and thank you azurelaw | Mark 12:31 | grafted in | 216868 | ||
Dear Jessica, It sounds to me like you had better cut your losses and run (don't walk) to the nearest exit and keep on going. It would not surprise me at all to hear that he has already raised his hand to you (if he hasn't yet, believe me, he will). Get out while there is something left of you to take away. And then find some Christian congregation, get involved and get counselling. Please!! |

24 | I see alot of people are using the title | Acts | grafted in | 216202 | ||
Shalom Azure I'm reading that you think that the office of apostle has ended - if I've misunderstood you, please pardon me. That passage is simply Luke stating what took place at that moment for that particular need; he was not stating law. Acts 1:21-22 would completely leave Paul out of the loop. Apostle simply means sh'liach or sent one. At a moment's need, Azure, you could be apostle, a sent one. Eph. 4:10-14 has no expiration date on it that I can see. :o) |

25 | I see alot of people are using the title | Acts | grafted in | 216210 | ||
Greetings stjohn, I didn't say Paul was out of the loop, I said that Acts 1:21-22 taken word for word would put him out of the loop, so therefore, that statement was not a precedent, it most logically fulfilled the immediate need. And there is still no expiration date on Eph. 4:10-16. Else we have to dismiss all other equippers for the ministry as they are grouped right along in there with apostles and prophets. If we have God-called evangelists, pastors and teachers (and I'm sure all agree that we do) then we most assuredly have God-called apostles and prophets. |

26 | was sadducees against Jesus? | Acts 5:17 | grafted in | 215945 | ||
Searcher, Just because they questioned Him doesn't mean that they were against Him. If you do a study on rabbis and their disciples you'll see that that is how they learned, by asking questions and the rabbi would answer by asking another question. If your pastor invited another pastor to speak at your church, when you got a chance to speak with this person, you would question him. How does his congregation do communion, how are their altar calls handled, etc. Just because you're asking questions would not mean that you are against his ministry. I'm sure there were many Sadducees against His ministry, but not all. At least not until He began talking about resurrection, then they definitely had to pull the stops since they didn't believe in angels or resurrection, that was why they were sad you see? lol |

27 | Obey your leaders ? | Acts 5:29 | grafted in | 216627 | ||
Greetings Rolff, To a degree you are right. But we must remember that the early christians were kind of stuck with their kings and his appointed entourage. Today, here in America, we are not. We put our people into leadership, we can take them out. And we had better when they turn out to be not what they made us think they were, up to and including the president. Obana's speech to the Egyptiams scared the dickens out of me!! |

28 | Obey your leaders ? | Acts 5:29 | grafted in | 216649 | ||
Vintage My note is self-explanatory according to the answer-note to which I posted. Rolff spoke of the early christians, as did I. He questioned about Americans today, I mentioned them too. |

29 | Obey your leaders ? | Acts 5:29 | grafted in | 216669 | ||
Greetings Vintage, No, it doesn't bother me. I did not bring out scripture references as I was talking in terms of the culture back then, before, during and after Jesus' life. The kings came to be by birth or appointed by another king. The other politicals would have been appointed by the reigning king. The only way for folks back then to get rid of their king and heads of office would be by assasination and that certainly would not be a good thing for a Jew or a Christian to be a part of. And then they would have just gotten the next in line by birth (possibly even worse that the first). This is the way I understand the system, before and during Jesus' lifetime and for quite some time afterward. If I'm wrong and I put my foot in my mouth (I've done that before lol) - then accept my apology, please. What I said about today in response still stands - we put our leaders in office by majority vote, be it the police chief, the ADA, the president... and we have the right, nay, the obligation, to take them out of office if they are not what they pretended to be while running for office. And yes, I did the read the original question. I was mainly responding to the responder, Rolff. I may have misunderstood him but it seemed like he was talking like we today have no say in what our leaders decide to do once in office. If I overstepped the legalities of the forum here, please forgive. It was not my intention to start a political debate (I am rather politically unlearned anyway). :o) Have a good evening |

31 | Government? Ministers for Christ? | Rom 13:1 | grafted in | 215682 | ||
Greetings humility, Try applying this verse to whom it was intended, the Jewish people and the gentiles who were beginning to join in the Temple and/or synagogue worship. I believe it refers directly to Sanhedrin and Pharisaic authorities. That doesn't mean to say that no civil authority was ever put in place by God, the Bible states emphatically that He did (and I'm sure still does), but not all are in authority by His directive - there is a prince of this world, after all. |

32 | We were about to take communion and the | 1 Cor 11:27 | grafted in | 216454 | ||
Good evening Tftennis, Yes, what your pastor said is biblical. Mat 5:23 So if you are offering your gift at the Temple altar and you remember there that your brother has something against you, Mat 5:24 leave your gift where it is by the altar, and go, make peace with your brother. Then come back and offer your gift. Mat 6:12 Forgive us what we have done wrong, as we too have forgiven those who have wronged us. Mat 6:15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Mat 18:35 So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart." Mar 11:26 [But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.] 1Co 11:26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. 1Co 11:27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. 1Co 11:28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 1Co 11:29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. 1Co 11:30 That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. 1Co 11:31 But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged. |

33 | follow up to 1 corinth 15 question | 1 Cor 15:52 | grafted in | 216428 | ||
Daniq, You ask how will we know when it starts if the people are not taken out (which I don't believe is going to happen first) - we will know when the covenant is made to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem and the building begins. I'm a pre-wrath believer. I believe that we will be here to witness that event and the wrath of hasatan on God's people. We will not be here to witness God's wrath on the lawless wicked ones, we will be enjoying the marriage supper of the Lamb! (Mark 13:3-27 is very fine proof-text that we will be here, especially see verses 14-19 and verse 24 is a strong indication that He was not speaking [only] of the persecution that the early church went through.) |

34 | Rapture | 1 Thess 4:17 | grafted in | 216786 | ||
Shalom Makarios, You left out the preterists!! How could you forget them (smiling)??!! They are the ones who believe the rapture took place in 70AD and we are now in the 2009th year of the 1000 year millenial reign. (Yeah, some people really do believe this. I believe they base it on the passage in Mat. 24 where He says "this generation will not pass away before all these things happen...") I, too, am a pre-wrather. The tribulation spoken of in Rev., prior to the pre-wrath rapture, at the 7th or last trumpet, is not the wrath of God taking place, it's the wrath of hasatan against God's people. After the bride is taken out of the way, the wrath of God against wickedness and evildoers is let loose. (There may be some that come to faith within this period but they will have to die during it or survive it, though I've heard some people teach of a secondary rapture?) Is this how you see the pre-wrath view? Does your screen name, Makarios, mean blessing in Greek? |

35 | Rapture | 1 Thess 4:17 | grafted in | 216825 | ||
Greetings CDBJ, You preach it, brother!! Amen! I also believe that by studying God's feasts, we can also know the season (not the year, but the season, i.e., spring, summer, winter, fall, season of sowing, first harvest, second harvest). God gave us 7 prophetic feasts and Jesus fulfilled the first ones to the letter, and right on time. It stands to reason that the other, unfulfilled prophetic feasts will be fulfilled in like manner. Study them all out and see if you don't agree... |

36 | Rapture | 1 Thess 4:17 | grafted in | 216834 | ||
:o) I figured you already had as I believe I remember reading somewhere that you've read The Sign. If I'm not mistaken the feasts are mentioned in the book. (Tho I've read many such books, so I could be wrong on this point.) I was speaking mainly to others who might be reading the thread and not studied the feasts. |

37 | Paul’s missionary work created a controv | 2 Tim 2:15 | grafted in | 216460 | ||
Evening WW Let's see, No! No! All the way around, No! The Jews believed the only way to become a Christian was by going thru ritual conversion?? You want to explain that one? At the time of Cornelius, there were no Christians, the believers in Messiah were just another sect of Judaism called The Way. Mat 5:17-19 The Torah was not eliminated (the vision had nothing to do with food, it everything to do with people) or else we have a God who changes His mind willy nilly and we'd have to cross out Heb. 13:8 or call it a typo. |

Good afternoon John In Acts 10:28 Peter himself tells what God intended him to learn from the vision ("God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean") and verse 29 he tells of his response to the revelation ("Therefore I came without objection as soon as I was sent for"). No word about food. As far as the situation regarding Peter and the gentiles in Galatia - Peter was a man, quite capable of making mistakes. He messed up and Paul called him on the carpet for it, lesson learned. How about Mal. 3:6? |

John Hypocrisy is a mistake that causes greater errors, but it can be corrected and overcome, and I'm sure Peter won the battle. Name calling is a cheap shot and sure not christ-like. I hope no one but the regulars saw your post! |

John, Oh I have overcome, breaking thru some 2000 years of antisemitism, of distancing gentiles from anything that smacks of Jewishness for hatred's sake. Deu 30:10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. Deu 30:11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. Deu 30:12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Deu 30:13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Deu 30:14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. Deu 30:15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; Deu 30:16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. Lev 18:5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD. Lev 19:37 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD. Deu 5:32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments Joh 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Joh 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 1Jn 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. What commandments are all these verses talking about? They have to be what God told Moses to tell the people, He hasn't changed His marching orders. The New Testament is not a book of new rules and regulations or a new religion, it's a wonderful God-inspired commentary on how to live out God's Torah thru His Son. Except for the life of the "Promised One" and the history of the early community, there is nothing new in it. It's at least 1/2 of quotes and explanations of what was already written. If you read God's instructions and attempt to do them in the letter (and not in the spirit of which they were intended) then of course you cannot do them all. You would even have to say that Jesus Himself broke many commandments in the performing of others. He broke the sabbath by healing, life always takes precedence. David ate the showbread which was unlawful but again, life takes precedence. Jesus and His men ate the standing wheat while journeying on a sabbath (the taking of it wasn't unlawful but the rolling it open in the hands was work). The levites and priests actually did temple work on sabbath. You gotta use your God given brain John. God instructions on how to live godly righteous lives has not changed and it's not impossible to obey. The one thing that did change is that there is now an atonement for blatant disobedience - Jesus. |
