121 | What if Jesus was born in 1971? | Matt 22:42 | ischus | 115227 | ||
Aixen, Perhaps a book other than the bible would be of help here. The DSM IV lists, under Axis II, the characteristics and features of a Paranoid Personality Disorder, which you are exhibiting quite accurately. I would encourage you to seek God's help in this matter. ischus |

122 | What if Jesus was born in 1971? | Matt 22:42 | ischus | 115231 | ||
I think a better question would be, "what if Jesus was born in 2971?" This lends itself to even more wonder and speculation. What kind of treatment would he get (if anyone noticed he was there)? How would they plan to proclaim the gospel: his death (if it was still beneficial), his burial (if it was still possible), and his resurrection (if it was still necessary). If this is too easy, we can bump it up to 3971. What do you think? | ||||||

Aixen, I don't understand why you are having such difficulty with my comments. I regret nothing, and I truly think that my comments would serve you well if you took them to heart. I have pondered your questions, I have reviewed all of your notes, and the conclusion that I came to was my previous note, which you took as a joke. I am delighted that you take such pride in your eldership over me, I thank you for your encouragement and guidance in this matter. I see no value to the questions that you submit, nor do I see the value in continuing on in this manner with you. You are my brother, and we will be spending a lot of time together in heaven. I don't want to have these comments hanging over our heads while praising God then. Can you just accept the fact that the majority of the people here neither understand, nor grant significance to your questions? Call it immaturity or heresy or whatever you wish. You can even consider my comments to be useless and prayerless. That's great. But please, lower the level of maturity so that I can at least participate in something beneficial for my growth in the Lord. I am new to this forum. I do not wish to gain a reputation of heartless debate and harsh refutes. I apologise for presenting my thoughts in a manner that you took to be argumentative and belittling. Let's forget this and move to a different stage of conversation. ischus |

Finally, although the sun has already gone down, I would like to say that I hold no anger in my heart towards you. I know that we have our differences here, but I can live with that. I would like to ask for your forgiveness if I have offended you. Before I am a student or theologian or exegete, I am a christian, and I resolve to keep such priorities towards you, as I have done my best to be such up to this point. ischus |

Brother Aixen, it is good to hear from you. I felt very bad about my comments as I went to bed last night, and could not sleep with the burden that the Spirit was putting on me- that I had not honored God with my words, and offended my brother in Christ. I am truly glad for our reconciliation and look forward to many more conversations with you! God Bless! ischus |

126 | What happened to the saints ? | Matt 27:52 | ischus | 115353 | ||
Ken John, These saints lived for a while and later died again, just like Lazarus and the dead girl that Jesus raised. Colossians 1:18 states that Jesus is the fist-"born from the dead;" that is, the first one to rise and not die again. Hope this helps! ischus |

127 | should we consider baptism as | Luke 3:21 | ischus | 115690 | ||
Slay, I know exactly what you are asking, and I think that you have a valid conclusion. I have always wondered why the perfect Lord chose to be baptized under repentence for forgiveness of sins. The worst answer that I have found was that Jesus was just being an example for us (although I would not go to the extent of kalos' comment), and I think that there really is something to a vicarious baptism, at least for the people of Israel, and maybe for everyone??? The bible does not feature Jesus doing something without a theological purpose in mind. I believe that there is a very unique baptism here- one like no other. Although we can't be conclusive here, I would tend to agree with your initial idea. ischus |

128 | cups? | Luke 22:17 | ischus | 115903 | ||
The Church of Christ wanted to immitate the passages of everyone sharing the same cup, and therefore partaking in a worthy, biblical manner. Also, the cup in Luke 22:17 is not the same cup that we celebrate in the Lord's supper. The one that we celebrate is the next one, in 22:20, which mentions nothing about dividing it. Obviously, this is a very legalistic approach to the scriptures, although there is nothing wrong with using one cup. If you study the Jewish Passover you will find that each person typically has their own cup. Since Jesus requested that the room be prepared for them to celebrate this feast, it is most likely that each had his own cup (as seen in Lk.22:17) ischus |

129 | feast | Luke 22:17 | ischus | 115954 | ||
Sure- The best book that I would recommend for an introduction to Jesus and the Passover/Lord's Supper would definitely be "Christ in the Passover" by Ceil and Moishe Rosen. This book will answer all your questions, and give you a deeper meaning to the Lord's Supper. The Rosen's are a husband and wife who are Messianic Jews. Besides doing many church presentations about this topic, they have written a small, yet informative book. Although it is just over 100 pages, it is one of the best books I have ever read on the Lord's Supper or the Passover. I am pretty sure that it is still in print. The copy that I have is from 1978, but one of my friends just bought one recently and so you should be able to find one. If not, let me know and I will help you out- You definitely need to read this book! ischus |

130 | What is meant by "last day" in John 6:44 | John 6:44 | ischus | 115339 | ||
Hello, Emmy! Although John's emphasis in this verse is the "drawing" and not the last day, you still have a good question. Just for the sake of a different perspective, I believe Jesus is talking about the last, final day of everything old, (and the fist day of everything new)- the day of resurection and judgement of all people at the same time. ischus |

131 | Is it right to say Judas's heart was har | John 17:12 | ischus | 115858 | ||
TREN'T, Although there was a prophesy for someone to betray Jesus, that does not mean that Judas was born for this purpose. It would be against his free will for God to make him do this. God does not harden peoples' hearts against their own will, and the same is true for Judas. Jesus had several opportunities before Judas' betrayal to be killed, and I'm sure that he would have had plenty of opportunities in the future. He simply chose this betrayal as the time to fulfill his mission. He knew Judas' heart, and despite trying to keep Judas from sinning, Judas went away and betrayed him. Jesus cared for Judas- he didn't want him to harden his heart. He was a chosen disciple, a beloved friend. ischus |

135 | Who cares to discuss this verse? | Rom 8:19 | ischus | 115579 | ||
Make sure you read the entire section in context of the verse. You will find that it is talking about God's natural creation (the earth), and us, his children. ischus |

136 | Sexual sin in the corithian church | 1 Corinthians | ischus | 115568 | ||
Tren't, basically, it was a part of their culture. Many people in their city were active in fornication and temple prostitution as a way of life and worship. They were struggling with coming out of this lifestle and going against the customs of their people. ischus |

137 | Explaination of 1 Cor 11:10 | 1 Cor 11:10 | ischus | 114901 | ||
rsmith77: First of all, although Paul uses a theological argument here, the majority of this passage must be interpreted from a very cultural point of view; in other words, this statement is a result of Paul's first century theology. When we understand that, it may become slightly easier to interpret this. 1)v10 begins with "for this reason." This clause should be taken as pointing backwards to the previous verses, not forward to the subsequent remarks. Paul speaks about women with "authority" on their heads in light of creation- God, man, women...the line of authority. Therefore, women need to have a covering to show their submission to the authority to both man and more importantly to God. 2) "on account of the angels" is were it gets tricky. Hooker, in "New Testament Studies," has a good explanation here. Since angels were believed to be watching over and/or participating in the assembly, the rightful respect for the order of creation must be upheld. An alternative view is that Paul is seen as refering to Gen.6 where the sons of God and daughters of men are described as bearing offspring. Paul, as well as most other Christians in the first century, saw the sons of God as being angels. But, since they have sinned against God in this act, they are now bad angels...of Satan. Women need protection from these type of assaults, according to Paul, and so they need to be under the veil (authority) of God and men at this time of vulnerabiblty. 3) Contrary to contemporary views of sexism on the part of Paul, he is actually showing the equality of men and women before God in this context, as the next two verses show. The women must also wear this authority so that the men will respect her as God's creation and not as a sexual being for pleasure. Whereas woman came from man, so also, man is born from woman. There is a circle of equality that Paul is expressing here. The Glory of man must be kept pure in worship. She is not to disract man's heart from God with her beauty. 4) Finally, this authority can also be seen not as a curse, but as a blessing from God. This is a sign of the womens' new authority given to her in these final days, as she is now able to freely prophesy along with the men, as seen in this context as well. Hopefully, this will shed some light on the subject for you. May your walk with Him be a blessed one! |

138 | A distinction without a difference? | 1 Cor 12:10 | ischus | 115189 | ||
In defense of JP, I would agree that Election is more central of a topic than tongues, although I would disagree with the conclusions that I have read concerning his theology on the matter. However, in light of the fact that I do not have the history that you all share together, I will make no further comment, other than the fact that there are several other threads which are in need of your efforts, rather than this one against the Reformed Pilgrim. ischus |

Hello kimberlyann ! Welcome to the forum. There have been many conversations and many different views about predestination expressed on this forum, which you can find in the quick search box. My view is that God chooses/elects all to salvation, but we have the free will to either accept or reject him. This is demonstrated throughout the bible, from Adam to Noah to Abraham... all the way to Judas and Saul(Paul). ischus |
