Words of Wisdom from Morant61: "In a debate, it is useful if you respond to the points that the other side makes." Regarding my Note "The law cannot be altogether invalid...", I have repeatedly asked: "If you disagree with any of the following, could you quote at least some of the part(s) you disagree with and tell why you disagree"? In other words, please directly address the points I have made. Instead of repeating a general statement you previously made, tell me specifically what is wrong with the points I've made. # 113992 |

Man is made up of three parts: Spirit, Soul and Body 1 Thessalonians 5:23 says, "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." There is a difference between man's breath and spirit: "Thus says the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and its offspring, who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk in it." Isaiah 42:5 Destination After Death "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose. But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better; yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake." Philippians 1:21-24 "Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord—for we walk by faith, not by sight—we are of good courage, I say . . . and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord." 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 The Soul is Conscious After Death Revelation 6:9-11 "And when He broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained; and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'How long, O Lord, holy and true, wilt Thou refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?' And there was given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they should rest for a while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been, should be completed also." Obviously a person's soul is more than his breath. These robed souls under the altar, crying out to God, are not "breaths." Note that these souls are conscious after death. They were martyred and after death are very much alive in Heaven. They have the ability to cry out to God and to wear white robes. God Himself tells them that more of their brethren will join them after they are killed. Again in Revelation 20:4 "And I saw thrones; and they sat upon them, and judgement was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshipped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years." Additional Scriptures Indicating the Consciousness of the Soul after Death Job 26:5-6 Matthew 22:31, 32 Luke 16:19-31 1 Thessalonians 5:10 Isaiah 14:9-11; 15-17 When the Soul Leaves the Body, the Body Sleeps The term "sleep" is never applied to the soul or the spirit, but only the body. The soul and the spirit continue to exist after death. The body "sleeps" and goes back to dust. The following verses refer to the state of the body's death as sleep: Matthew 9:24 "He began to say, 'Depart; for the girl has not died, but is asleep.' And they were laughing at Him." John 11:11 "This He said, and after that He said to them, 'Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awaken him out of sleep.'"Acts 7:59-60 "And they went on stoning Stephen as he called upon the Lord and said, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!' And falling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, 'Lord do not hold this sin against them!' And having said this, he fell asleep." Acts 13:36 "For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation fell asleep, and was laid among his fathers, and underwent decay." 1 Thessalonians 4:14 "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus." ____________________ (http://www.sdaoutreach.org/) |

Part 2. Man is made up of three parts: Spirit, Soul and Body Man's Soul and Man's Spirit are More than Breath 1 Samuel 18:1 "Now it came about when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as himself." 2 Samuel 5:8 "And David said on that day, 'Whoever would strike the Jebusites, let him reach the lame and the blind, who are hated by David's soul, through the water tunnel.' Therefore they say, the blind or the lame shall not come into the house." Mark 14:34 "And He said to them, 'My soul is deeply grieved to the point of death; remain here and keep watch.'" Psalm 107:26 "They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depth; their souls melted away in their misery." Luke 2:35 " . . . and a sword will pierce even your own soul to the end that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed." Man's Spirit is what is Regenerated John 3:6-7 "That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'" God Works Through Man's Spirit Proverbs 20:27 "The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all the innermost parts of his being." Man's Spirit has: INTELLIGENCE (1 Corinthians 2:11) "For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God." EMOTIONS (John 11:33) "When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her, also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled." The Soul and the Spirit are Separated from the Body at Death Luke 8:54-55 ". . . he, however, took her by the hand and called, saying, 'Child arise!' And her spirit returned, and she rose immediately; and He gave orders for something to be given her to eat." Matthew 10:28 "And do not fear those who kill the body, but are unable to kill the soul but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both the soul and the body in hell." James 2:26 "For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead." 1 Kings 17:21,22 "Then he stretched himself upon the child three times, and called to the Lord, and said, 'O Lord my God, I pray to Thee, let this child's life return to him.' And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah, and the life of the child returned to him and he revived." The term "death" which is "thanatas" in Greek, does not mean to be non-existent or unconscious, it rather means to be separated. Some examples: Colossians 2:13 "And when you were dead (separated from God—not "unconscious") in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh . . . " Ecclesiastes 9:5 "For the living know they will die; but the dead do not know anything, nor have they any longer a reward, for their memory is forgotten." The context of this verse is "under the sun." It is saying that the dead do not know anything that is going on "under the sun"(on earth) vss. 3, 6—after they die and are in Heaven. (Eccl. 12:7) See also Ephesians 2:1 and Revelation 3:1 These scriptures clearly teach that the soul and spirit are more than breath. People's souls and spirits are separated from their bodies when they die. The soul is conscious in Heaven after death, awaiting the resurrection of the body. ____________________ http://www.sdaoutreach.org/ |

Lazarus and the Rich Man (Luke 16:19-31) 'Some say that this is a parable. However, if it is, it is unique because no other parable actually names a person. It isn't a story. It is history. It really happened. But many who believe in no consciousness after death will say it is still a parable.' There are questions about Lazarus and the Rich Man (Luke 16) that remain unanswered. Tell me, if you can, what are the answers to these questions? QUESTION: 'If this is a parable, What is it teaching?' 'If hell fire is false and if self-awareness after death is also false, then Jesus is using false doctrines to teach a truth. Parables illustrate truth.' QUESTION: 'If it is a parable what does the consciousness after death symbolize?' QUESTION: 'Also, what does the agony in flame symbolize?' 'Jesus spoke more of hell than heaven and spent so much time warning people not to go there.' QUESTION: 'After all, if people just stopped existing, why warn them?' If it was temporal, they'd get out in a while. But if it were eternal and conscious, then the warning is strong. 'Jesus said, "And if your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out, and throw it from you; for it is better for you that one of the parts of your body perish, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30"And if your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off, and throw it from you; for it is better for you that one of the parts of your body perish, than for your whole body to go into hell," (Matt. 5:29-30).' ____________________ (http://www.carm.org/doctrine/hell.htm) |

AMPLIFIED 2 Corinthians 5:21 "For our sake He made Christ [VIRTUALLY] to be sin..." (Emphasis added.) virtual (defined) 1 : "being such in essence or effect though not formally recognized or admitted (a virtual dictator) nearly (synonym of virtually) "2 a : almost but not quite (nearly identical) (nearly a year later)" (www.m-w.com) Why have you forsaken me? Mark 15:34 "Jesus felt keenly His abandonment by the Father, resulting from God's wrath being poured out on Him as the substitute for sinners." (p. 1500, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997) 2 Cor 5:21 "'sin for us.' God the Father, using the principle of imputation, treated Christ as if He were a sinner though He was not, and had Him die as a substitute to pay the penalty for the sins of those who believe in Him. On the cross, He did not become a sinner (as some suggest), but remained as holy as ever. He was treated as if He were guilty of all the sins ever committed by all who would ever believe, though He committed none. The wrath of God was exhausted on Him and the just requirement of God's law met for those for whom He died." (p. 1772, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997) |

"Never read a Bible verse. That's right, never read a Bible VERSE. Instead, always read a paragraph -- at least." (www.str.org/free/studies/neverrea.htm) Revelation 4: Welcome to the Forum! First, your question. "Do you ask a question and then we all get into a dialogue or is it just ask a question, get one answer and move on?" What actually happens is you ask a question and then we all get into a dialogue, which often turns into a debate. You will find here much to inform, inspire, entertain, and occasionally confuse. A Newcomer's Guide to StudyBibleForum.com by kalos (Disclaimer: The views presented here are my own and do not necessarily represent those of our host -- the Lockman Foundation -- or a majority of active Forum members.) Following are guidelines for your consideration: 1) First, before you do anything else, learn to use the Forum Search function. It will make participating in the Forum much easier. 2) As the Lockman Foundation suggests, before you post your question use Search to determine whether it has been asked previously. This will save everyone, including you, a lot of time, repetition and rehashing of old issues. 3) Read the Terms of Use. Among other things, you will note that StudyBibleForum.com was originally intended as neither a discussion group nor a topical survey, although, regrettably, that is what it has become. 4) "Your submission may not include...[certain] characters." If you should attempt to use one of these characters, then when you go to preview your submission, you would get the error message above, listing all the unacceptable characters. Print and save that error message. (It may be the only undisputed point you'll ever find at this website.) Unacceptable characters should not be a problem here at the Forum. 5) While you are new to the Forum, you may unintentionally submit the same entry two or more times. If you do, don't worry about it. It's easy to do. 6) In the unlikely event that someone will misunderstand or disagree with a particular point of yours, try not to take it personally. 7) Always bear in mind that the Bible contains many verses which are subject to more than one interpretation (although it would be incorrect to assume that all interpretaions are equally valid). In these cases, a calm, reasoned, polite discussion is preferred. 8) There are but few basic principles of biblical interpretation. If you have not already done so, familiarize yourself with and apply them, particularly the principle of analogia scriptura which is defined here: John MacArthur writes: "One of the basic principles of biblical interpretation is the *analogia scriptura*, the analogy of Scripture. In other words, we must compare Scripture with Scripture in order to understand its full and proper sense. And SINCE THE BIBLE DOESN'T CONTRADICT ITSELF, ANY INTERPRETATION OF A SPECIFIC PASSAGE THAT CONTRADICTS THE GENERAL TEACHING OF THE BIBLE IS TO BE REJECTED." (Emphasis added.) 9) In my experience I have found that the Lockman Foundation sincerely desires and welcomes your input. Do not hesitate to contact them with your questions, comments and suggestions. 10) You can save yourself needless frustration if you remember that you need not reply to every criticism you receive. 11) An excellent standard to expect of yourself and your fellow Forum members is: "Every person has a right to their own opinion; but no person has a right to be wrong in their facts." Check your facts carefully before you post them publicly for all the world to read and remember. Careful reading, research, review and rewriting BEFORE YOU POST could save you embarrassment. 12) 2 Timothy 2:23 (ASV) "But foolish and ignorant questionings refuse, knowing that they gender strifes." (The possibility, however slight, exists that every great once in awhile, you may encounter a "foolish and ignorant" question. Avoid being drawn into a dispute over it. Stick to the issues and avoid naming personalities involved in the dispute.) WELCOME TO THE FORUM! Grace and peace, kalos |

552 | Does the OT apply to us as christians? | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 118499 | ||
NT in conflict with OT? Unbelievable! The NT does not contradict the OT. ____________________ "If the New Covenant were to contradict previously given scriptures in the Law or the Prophets, then the New Covenant would not be true." ____________________ It is not true 'that the moral absolutes of the Law are no longer applicable to us. The New Covenant does not "do away" with the Law in that sense, but rather writes it in our hearts* (Jeremiah 31:31). 'For any system of truth to be valid, it must be consistent with itself. Contradictions disprove truth. If the New Covenant were to contradict previously given scriptures in the Law or the Prophets, then the New Covenant would not be true' (Seven Pillars of Messianic Judaism, Asher Intrater, 2003**). ____________________ *writes it in our hearts. NASB Jeremiah 31:33 "But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD, "I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." 'It takes unacceptable theological legerdemain to conclude that when God writes the Torah (law) on hearts he changes it into something other than the Torah' (Restoring the Jewishness of the Gospel, David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1988)! **"Seven Pillars of Messianic Judaism" To read the entire quote, see ID# 115300. |

To "make full" the meaning of the Torah "Don't think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete." There is no conflict between Moses' commandments and Jesus' teachings on them in which He gives the 'complete, full spiritual sense to be understood and obeyed'. For example, where is the conflict between a command to not murder your brother and a command to not be angry with him or call him a fool? Far from there being a conflict, both of these commands -- don't be angry and do not murder -- are in harmony with each other. "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill." Matthew 5:17 'Replacement theology likewise understands that Yeshua at his first coming fulfilled the Torah, so that we don't have to do so (the logic leading to this conclusion is unclear);... 'But the word usually translated "fulfill", Greek pleroo, does not necessarily convey this specific sense. Rather, it is a very common word which simply means "fill", "fill up", "make full", as in filling a cup or a hole. It should be evident that the actual meaning is as rendered in the Jewish New Testament: "Don't think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete" -- that is, to "make full" the meaning of what the Torah and the ethical demands of the Prophets require. 'In fact, this verse, so understood, states the theme of the entire Sermon on the Mount -- in which six times the Messiah says, "you have heard of old time" the incomplete meaning or a distortion, "but I say to you" the complete, full spiritual sense to be understood and obeyed.'

Hank: Thank you for an excellent post, one which gets right to the heart of the matter and is consistent with both the Scriptures and reason. I am reposting my Note to you so that you will not overlook it. :-) --kalos ******************** To "make full" the meaning of the Torah "Don't think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete." The only "conflict" here is between what "you have heard of old time" -- the incomplete meaning or a distortion -- vs. what Jesus shows them -- the complete, full spiritual sense to be understood and obeyed.' The idea that Jesus contradicts Moses is absurd. There is no conflict between Moses' commandments and Jesus' teachings on them. For example, where is the conflict between a command to not murder your brother and a command to not be angry with him or call him a fool? Far from there being a conflict, both of these commands -- don't be angry and do not murder -- are in harmony with each other. IF the text had said that it's not OK to be angry, but it is OK to murder, now THAT would be a contradiction. But there is no such contradiction in the teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount or anywhere else. "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill." Matthew 5:17 'Replacement theology likewise understands that Yeshua at his first coming fulfilled the Torah, so that we don't have to do so (the logic leading to this conclusion is unclear);...

Rowdy: I have nothing against you. I do enjoy our discussions and esteem you as both a friend and brother in the Lord. I mean no sarcasm nor disrespect, but may I remind you: I have posted more than a dozen submissions on the continuing validity of the Law, complete with relevant Scripture references and arguments (proof). You haved directly replied to few or none of them. I would be interested in your direct response to the points I have raised in my posts. Again, I write these things not in a spirit of debate or animosity of any kind. In fact, I hesitated to post this to you for fear that I would unintentionally offend or alienate you. I really do appreciate you, brother, and it is in a spirit of brotherly love and kindness that I write this. Yours in Christ, kalos |

Footnote to the life of Pilate. A short time after the crucifixion of Christ, Spanish-born Pilate died in France. He committed suicide.

560 | Who was Pilate's wife? | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 119515 | ||
Pontius Pilate [suicide ca. 38 CE] The best known Roman governor of Judea to later history because of his role in the accounts of Jesus' execution...The new emperor [Caligula] relieved Pilate of his command and exiled him to Gaul [Vienne-on-Rhone]. In good Roman military fashion, as one who had suffered defeat and public disgrace, he (Pilate) committed suicide. For references to Pilate outside the NT see: Josephus, Antiquities 18.35, 55-64, 85-89, 177; War 2.169-177; Philo, Embassy to Gaius 38; Tacitus, Annals 15.44. ____________________ http://ancienthistory.about.com/ |
