601 | Who says the Sabbath is on Sunday | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 124113 | ||
Country Girl: I merely ask, from what Scripture passages (book chapter: verse) do you draw your conclusion? Where in the NT does it say that people worshipped on the first day of the week? I'm open to looking at the evidence. Where in the NT does it clearly say that? I'm not saying it doesn't say that. I'm just asking you, where does it say that? Grace to you, kalos |

Country Girl: Also, at this point I am not discussing conclusions or interpretations. I am discussing facts, i.e., where does it say that in the NT? At http://studylight.org I did a search in the King James Bible for the words "first" AND "day" AND "worship". It didn't show those three words together in the same verse. The search returned the following message: "Your query for 'first day worship' used in 'The King James Version (Authorized)' failed to return any results." Grace to you, kalos |

Grace does not permit what the law prohibits. 'It is crucial to understand that in terms of moral standards, grace does not permit what the law prohibits. "Grace" never signifies the lowering of God's moral demands. The word grace in scripture signifies a lot of things, but licentiousness is not one of them. In fact, those who turn the grace of God into promiscuity are expressly condemned as false teachers (Jude 4)' (http://www.biblebb.com/files/MAC/obedience.htm). ____________________ "Replacement theology likewise understands that Yeshua (Jesus) at his first coming fulfilled the Torah (Law), so that we don't have to do so (THE LOGIC LEADING TO THIS CONCLUSION IS UNCLEAR)..." ____________________ According to the logic of some, when Jesus said "I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill," what He meant was: I did not come to abolish, but to abolish. Such folks say they agree that Jesus did not come to abolish the Law. But then they define the word "fulfill" to mean "abolish" or its equivalent. The result, according to them, is that Jesus must be contradicting Himself, since what He means is: "I did not come to abolish, but to abolish (their definition of the word fulill). ____________________ Christ is the GOAL of the law -- not the END (termination, abolition) of it. ____________________ "For sin will not have authority over you; because you are not under legalism but under grace." Romans 6:14 (Complete Jewish Bible, David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1998) "For the goal at which the Torah (Law) aims is the Messiah, who offers righteousness to everyone who trusts." Romans 10:4 (CJB) '"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)...' What does the word translated "fulfill" really mean? '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.'

607 | Can we recognize loved ones in heaven | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 124930 | ||
The Bible does not say that our memories will be erased in heaven. 'Will we recognize and be reunited with our loved ones in heaven? 'Yes! In the Old Testament, when a person died, the biblical writers said he was "gathered to his people" (cf. Gen. 25:8; 35:29; 49:29; Num. 20:24; Judg. 2:10). In 2 Samuel 12, when David's infant child died, David confidently said, "I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me" (v. 23). David evidently expected to see the child again-not just a nameless, faceless soul without an identity, but that very child. 'The New Testament indicates even more clearly that our identities will remain unchanged. While sharing the Passover meal with His disciples, Christ said, "Take this [cup] and divide it among yourselves; for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes" (Luke 22:17-18). Christ was promising that He and His disciples would drink the fruit of the vine together again-in heaven. Elsewhere Jesus makes a similar, but even more definite, promise: "Many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 8:11). 'Furthermore, Moses and Elijah appeared with Christ on the Mount of Transfiguration. Even though they died centuries before, they still maintained a clear identity (Matt. 17:3) -- Peter, James, and John evidently recognized them (v. 4), which implies that we will somehow be able to recognize people we've never even seen before. All the redeemed will maintain their identity forever, but in a perfected form.' To read the rest of this article, go to: (http://www.gty.org/IssuesandAnswers/archive/heaven8.htm) |

609 | Jehovah's Witness Question | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 125182 | ||
You write: "They (Jehovah's Witnesses) do not look to any human, but rather to Jesus Christ, as their leader." They do not look to any human? Fact: 'The Jehovah's Witness "theocratic" organization is led by several men in Brooklyn, New York' (www.carm.org/witnesses.htm). ____________________ "Do you want to trust your eternal soul to the teachings of several men headquartered in Brooklyn, New York who claim to be the directors of God's organization on earth? Do you? Eternity is a long time to be wrong." ____________________ If you are a Jehovah's Witness, please understand that I am not against you as an individual. 'Please don’t be offended by this. But when a group claims to be the prophet of God, yet 'mistranslates the Bible, 'takes verses out of context, 'makes false prophecies, and 'misquotes authorities all to make its position valid, 'its credibility is lost. It cannot be from God.' ____________________ (http://www.carm.org/jw/ifurjw.htm).] |

When in doubt quote the entire paragraph Huron: In the examples you give, which are perfectly fine examples, I'm not sure it's merely a question of considering context, although that is always important. Carried to an extreme, the principle of looking at the context could be the basis for quoting the entire Bible, rather than singling out the verse(s) under discussion. A related factor necessary in interpreting scripture is the principle of the analogia scriptura. "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." (To read the full quote, go to (www.gty.org). Click on "BIBLE FAQs". Under "SALVATION" click on "Is baptism necessary for salvation?" When you arrive at this page, search for "analogia scriptura".) Having said that I will address your question, "When using scripture to discuss Christian topics and support your viewpoint, how do you know how much context to use?" When in doubt, I would quote, at the very least, the entire paragraph in which the verse appears. For paragraph divisions, see the English Standard Version, the NIV, or other Bible translations. You need not quote the ESV or NIV, but consulting either of these will show you where each parapgraph begins and ends. Grace to you, kalos |

612 | Key verse of the Bible? | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 125646 | ||
"Sh'ma, Yisra'el! ADONAI Eloheinu, ADONAI echad [Hear, Isra'el! ADONAI our God, ADONAI is one]; and you are to love ADONAI your God with all your heart, all your being and all your resources. These words, which I am ordering you today, are to be on your heart; and you are to teach them carefully to your children. You are to talk about them when you sit at home, when you are traveling on the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them on your hand as a sign, put them at the front of a headband around your forehead, and write them on the door-frames of your house and on your gates. Deuteronomy 6:4-9 The Complete Jewish Bible Huron: This passage gets my vote for the KEY paragraph in the Bible. Grace to you, kalos |

613 | Is it ever o.k. to say no to a brother | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 125698 | ||
hisown_07: We need to exercise wisdom and discernment in determining when to give to others and when not to. There are many things to take into consideration when deciding when to give. Here are two principles to be mindful of. 1. Whenever you do for someone else what they could do for themselves, all you do is create dependency. 2. I've heard it taught that we ought not to interfere too much in the lives of others. The reason is that, as we all know, God uses trials to discipline us for our own good. When we try to rescue others out of their trials and troubles, we may be interfering with what God is trying to teach them. This is not to say that we should never help anyone or that we should just ignore them and let them suffer. An example of this principle is when parents are always trying to bail out their adult children, always trying to spare them the consequences of their own decisions. Far better to let the adult children learn to accept the consequences of their decisions and take responsibility for themselves. Even in our own lives, we sometimes feel troubled and discontented. At those times, the natural desire is to go to the mall, eat at a restaurant, go for a drive -- just get out of the house and stay busy doing something we enjoy. But sometimes that may not be the best thing to do. There are times when we should stay home, turn the TV off, and get alone with God -- reading the Word, praying and seeking God.

614 | Borrowed money-neither income nor asset | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 125749 | ||
Borrowed money-neither income nor asset MARK LYNN: You write: "i believe we should pay tithe on any money that comes to us even if borrowed." May I ask: How did you come to that conclusion? Borrowed money is neither income nor asset. We are not required to pay income tax on borrowed money because it is not income. It is not an asset because it does not increase our net worth. Instead, it is a liability. The reason it is a liability is that we have to PAY IT BACK. The fact is we are not required to pay tithes on our liabilities. Grace to you, kalos |

615 | Must we observe the law of God? | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 125785 | ||
Overall I agree with you. You write: "I figure that if He came to fulfill it, then we should too." I agree. But then you go on to say, "Not by observing the letter of the law..." Not by observing the letter of the law? Nine of the Ten Commandments are repeated in the New Testament. Just which one of those nine were we planning on NOT keeping the letter of? |

2 Cor. 3:6 (ESV) Who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 'This passage (2 Cor. 3:6-13) is often understood to teach that the New Covenant has more glory than the Torah. Whether it does depends on how one defines "Torah." The Greek word for "law" or "Torah," "nomos," is not used at all here or anywhere in 2 Corinthians; so that if one is going to make such a statement about "the Torah" on the basis of this passage, one must limit the meaning of "Torah" to the elements given in the passage. And here Sha'ul (Paul) talks only about a written text which was engraved on stone tablets...It is with this written text that he contrasts the New Covenant...But there is more to the Torah than a written text, so that what Sha'ul says here about a written text does not necessarily apply to all that the Torah is. (...) One must understand the shock a Jew experiences in hearing the Torah called an instrument of death, since in Jewish understanding the Torah ministers not death but life. Yeshua (Jesus) was well aware of Jewish regard for the Torah as an instrument of life (John 5:39). (...) The prayer recited every time the Torah scroll is returned to the ark after being read in the synagogue quotes Proverbs 3:18: "It is a tree of life to those who take hold of it." ____________________ (Jewish New Testament Commentary, David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1992). |

Break it or do it? No third alternative in this passage. Matthew 5:19 (KJV) 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. Heard on Christian radio: In this verse Jesus is saying a man either BREAKS the commandments and teaches others to do the same or he DOES them and teaches others to do the same. He is saying there are some people who break the law of the book. And they not only break it, they teach other people to break it. Then there are some people who do the law and teach other people to do it. What is Jesus putting primary emphasis on? It is this: Are you going to BREAK it or are you going to DO it? Because whether you break it or you do it, you're teaching somebody, aren't you? You take this book and you break the law, you will teach somebody by breaking it that you don't believe in it. [Heard on David Jeremiah's radio broadcast on 07-13-2004 (www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Love_Worth_Finding/) and (www.lwf.org/)] |
