841 | How many aggelos on the head of a pin? | Rom 3:4 | jlhetrick | 171754 | ||
Hey! Kalos, Here is a suggestion. Why not begin a new topic yourself? Personally, I am not one who prefers to assume another's topic is not a worthy one. We are all at different levels/degrees in our knowledge and understanding of the Scriptures. I have only been a forum member for a little over a year; but I hope that the forum is not considered by some to be a place only for the advanced bible student.... By the way, I agree with the quote from Richard Baxter. I should add though, that I have learned a great deal through my participation in debate. Sometimes I have been convinced that I was accurate in my understanding. Other times I have found that I was missing the mark. In either case, I grew in the process. God bless, Jeff |

842 | Dr. B. Biblical support Angels can't sin | Eph 4:9 | jlhetrick | 171742 | ||
drblorr, We have not yet been involved in a discussion. I have asked you two questions and you have responded (or lack there of) to one of them. You wrote: "My Bible only contains one angel that is referred to as a "Satan" and that is in Numbers 22:22, and he was an obedient angel of the Lord." Therein may lie the problem. Numbers 22:22 in my bible speaks of only one angel and refers to that angel as the angel of the Lord. Not a hint of Satan. Furthermore, the Holy Bible (God's word) calls Satan by name both in the OT and NT many many times in at least 47 or more different verses. In any case, sir/ma'm, I respect your right to refuse to engage in further discussion. It is sometimes the very direct and apparently simple questions that stumps our premise; so yes, I do understand. Sincerely, Jeff |

843 | Dr. B. Biblical support Angels can't sin | Eph 4:9 | jlhetrick | 171707 | ||
Hello drbloor, You wrote: "If the wages of sin is death, and angels cannot die, then neither can they sin, or they would die, which they cannot do. At least, not according to Jesus." I have followed this thread with interest and have found you to be someone who appears to have a great deal of intelligence as well as bible knowledge. Will you please help me make sense of your above statement? A very obvious thought is, who is recorded as having committed the very first sin? Was it not Satan? Is Satan not an angel? I don't follow your argument here. To say that angels can't sin is so far out there that it makes it difficult to take anything else you say as credible. John 8:44 44 "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies . You said, "at least not according to Jesus". Jesus said Satan is a murderer and a liar. I'm believing at this point that you are fixed on the idea of physical death and forgetting the truth regarding the "second death". 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. Also see Revelation 2:11 and 21:8. God bless, Jeff |

846 | Blotted Out If We Reject Him | Rev 3:5 | jlhetrick | 171595 | ||
Hello Brother Tim, Thanks for clarifying for me. I believe this hits the nail on the head (so to speak). Your right that it is not a conditional statement. I believe this is essential in really getting to the point of truth here. "I will never leave you nor forsake you". No conditions, no works, no if's you do or don't. Simply, I will never leave you nor forsake you. As the writer points out immediately before; it is for this reason that we are to continue to strive to do good and live holy lives. But doing so is not the condition. Isn't it an awesome and totally capable God that we were saved by? God bless, Jeff |

847 | Blotted Out If We Reject Him | Rev 3:5 | jlhetrick | 171588 | ||
Brother Tim, To make my position clear, I am learning to do all I can to never assume when it comes to the bible. I have made that greatest of errors over the years; time and time again. I am in the process of having to "unlearn" some things as a result; thanks be to the grace of God. I don't fit into any category that "assumes that a name CANNOT be blotted out". I am CURRENTLY at an understanding that NO name WILL be blotted out. My understanding is not an assumption in the abscense of Scripture. My understanding is based on where I currently am regarding my understanding of what is actually there in scripture (as presented in brief in this thread). So, this is a very different position from the "assumptions about this topic on both sides of the issue" that you present. By the way, as a point of curiosity, what do you believe it means to have one's name written in the Book of Life. In otherwords, what it the relevance of it? God bless, Jeff |

848 | Blotted Out If We Reject Him | Rev 3:5 | jlhetrick | 171582 | ||
Hi brother Tim, I don't want it to appear that you are being "teamed up on", but your theology is simply wrong, lacking to say the least brother. What makes you believe that Heb. 13:5b is a "general statement"? Your comments seems to contradict your own argument in this thread that Christ will not make a promise he will not keep. Sir, this is not a general statement. It is a promise made by the Lord. One that He is able to and absolutely will keep. I have nothing else to put my hope in, and the Scriptures offer me nothing else in which to have hope. Christ will never leave me nor forsake me. This is the reason, the only reason, that I will "overcome". Christ's Love, Jeff |

Hi Tim, Thanks for clarifying. Yes I agree, Christ would not promise something that He would not do. But I'm having trouble putting this together with the topic. God created us with an ability to apply logic and reason in our understanding of the Scriptures. But it is when we add assumption to what is written that our logic breakes down. You write: "Logically, those who do not overcome will: Not be clothed in white, will be blotted out of the book of life, and will not have their names confessed before the Father." Your assumption- that those names were ever written in the book of life before the foundations of the world. So your logic breaks down at that point. Furthermore, might it be considered an unkept promise if God were to write my name in the Book of Life, and then blott it out? God Bless, Jeff |

850 | how long did the plagues of exodus take | Exodus | jlhetrick | 171564 | ||
Helly Abbey, Consider these verses: Ex. 9: 31 (Now the flax and the barley were ruined , for the barley was in the ear and the flax was in bud. 32 But the wheat and the spelt were not ruined , for they ripen late.) Ex. 10: 5 'They shall cover the surface of the land, so that no one will be able to see the land. They will also eat the rest of what has escaped—what is left to you from the hail—and they will eat every tree which sprouts for you out of the field. God bless, Jeff PS.

Easy Searcher, No one. Note, the wording is "I will not earase or blot out". So the answer is, no one is blotted out as far as this verse is concerned anyway. Furthermore, I don't find anything anywhere else in the bible that suggests a name is blotted out. I would relate this verse with the words of Jesus' in John 17:11-12. I know the debate on "losing salvation" has been covered many times on the forum, I doubt I could add to it. What I believe on the subject though was best stated by Paul. Rom 8:33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Rom 8:34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died--more than that, who was raised--who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? Rom 8:36 As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered." Rom 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. Rom 8:38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, Rom 8:39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Praise God for that, Jeff |

Hello Searcher, I see no evidence of this in Scripture, Jeff |

854 | how long did the plagues of exodus take | Exodus | jlhetrick | 171517 | ||
Hello Searcher, No, the thought has never crossed my mind until now. The assumption would be that when they were taken into captivity, their livestock was part of the plunder that was also taken. There would, after all, be a need to keep the slaves fed. What better way than their own livestock that they know how to manage. Of course, the Egyptians would help themselves as needed; which would support my earlier response speculating that, the mention of livestock soon after the dieing of all of Egypt's stock, may have resulted from their taking from the Hebrews for their own need. Interesting to think through these sideline points. God Bless, Jeff |

Hello abbey, I will wait with you to see if anyone knows the time span of the plagues as I don't have time tonight to research it. But while we're waiting, consider this. On the first account in chapter 9, notice that the plague only killed the livestock of the Egyptians. Not a single livestock of the Hebrew people was killed in the plague. Remember that the Hebrews were slaves of the Egyptions. It is possible (though not specified) that the Egyptions simply helped themselves to the livestock of the God's people. Just a thought, Jeff |

856 | Church staff's salary questionable | 1 Tim 3:7 | jlhetrick | 171440 | ||
Hello rockford, Interesting comment. You wrote: "May I suggest here that living "of the gospel" would be living by faith. I find that guaranteeing someone a SALARY would not be living by faith." Are you employed? If so, do you get paid a salary? If so, is your salary guaranteed? If you said yes to these questions, would you say you are living by faith? Would you relocate your family to a new state or town and committ to a job that said, sorry, we don't guarantee your salary? Think about it, Jeff |

Hello lionheart, you probably did remember it, you just didn't recall book, chapter and verse. The essence was there in your earlier post though. Thanks for adding the jewel of a verse to the discussion. Jeff |

Thanks for the kindness and the apparent excitement Tommy. I hope you will continue to seek the Lord on this forum. It is refreshing to see someone so eager to learn and asking questions reflecting deeper thinking. I appreciate your words, and I am not trying to sound humble; but my knowledge and understanding of God's word pales in light of many on the forum. If you stay involved you will see that and I promise you will be blessed as I have been. Christ's Love, Jeff |
