182 | question | Col 2:12 | mbooker | 57099 | ||
Hi dasev I receive your question with love :). The reason I asked the question was because the poster said 'Jesus was quicked by the Spirit during baptism in water' and I don't have that understanding. If the poster is correct, I would like my understanding corrected. arent there some things that we just do not need the answers to? that could be but when I see something that seems contrary to what I believe, I need to know if what I believe needs adjusting or not. isn't there enouhg to DO with what we clearly understand already? for me, a big YES!!! :). And I also want to continue to 'increase in the knowledge of God' (Col 1:10), which means increase in the knowledge of the Word. And I don't impose my curosity on others. When I ask a question, I'm simply wanting to settle any questions I have in my mind. Whew!! Hope I wasn't too long winded... :) Abba Father Bless and Keep you... :) Meredith |

183 | Rebuke or Appeal | Matt 28:19 | mbooker | 57096 | ||
Just a thought/question: After reading Titus 1:13-14, with emphasis on 'rebuke them sharply', I thought of Paul's letter to Philemon. chapter 1 vv 8-14: Therefore, though I have abundant boldness in Christ to charge you to do what is fitting and required and your duty to do, yet for love's sake I prefer to appeal to you just for what I am--I, Paul, an ambassador [of Christ Jesus] and an old man and now a prisoner for His sake also-- I appeal to you for my [own spiritual] child, Onesimus [meaning profitable], whom I have begotten [in the faith] while a captive in these chains. Once he was unprofitable to you, but now he is indeed profitable to you as well as to me. I am sending him back to you in his own person, [and it is like sending] my very heart. I would have chosen to keep him with me, in order that he might minister to my needs in your stead during my imprisonment for the Gospel's sake. But it has been my wish to do nothing about it without first consulting you and getting your consent, in order that your benevolence might not seem to be the result of compulsion or of pressure but might be voluntary [on your part]. And here is my question: Could it be that there are times when a sharp rebuke is necessary but there are also times when an appeal and not a charge/rebuke is necessary in order for the hearer to receive the correction? For me, that is an important thing - receiving the word/correction with understanding. Just a thought... :) Abba Father bless... |

184 | question | Col 2:12 | mbooker | 57067 | ||
the amplified version of v18: For Christ [the Messiah Himself] died for sins once [6] for all, the Righteous for the unrighteous (the Just for the unjust, the Innocent for the guilty), that He might bring us to God. In His human body He was put to death, but He was made alive in the spirit, Is '(Jesus was quicked by the Spirit during baptism in water);' your addition? If it is, I have this question. At the time of Jesus's water baptism, wasn't he already 'alive in the spirit'? It is my understanding that Jesus was born spiritually alive and when he was made sin, he died spiritually, then physically. Colossians 1:18 refers to him as 'the firstborn from among the dead;'. He wasn't the first to be born from among the physically dead (the Shunammite's son (II Kings 4:8-37), Jairus's daughter(Mark 5:20-42 and Luke 8:41-56), Lazarus (John 11:1-44) ). So, was this verse referring to being born from among the spiritually dead? If my understanding is correct, how was he 'made alive in the spirit' at his water baptism if he was already alive in the spirit? Thanks in advance for your response :) |

Good morning Brother Tim I wanted to let you know that I am printing out this post and will go thru each scripture and study them. The more that I read these posts in conjunction with the Word, the more I believe 'by grace am I saved through faith and that not of myself. It is the gift of God, not of works, lest I should boast.' Thanks so much for sharing. Abba Father bless you... :) |

188 | Love Jesus before the Father loves me? | John 14:21 | mbooker | 56960 | ||
'whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father' Can anyone expound to this part of the verse? Whenever I read it, I think 'OK. I have to keep Jesus' commands, then the Father will love me'. I can't reconciled this passage with John 3:16. 'For God so loved the world...'. And I John 4:10. 'Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins' thanks in advance to those who respond... |

Revelation 1:13-15 "And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters." |

191 | deeds of the law | Bible general Archive 1 | mbooker | 56928 | ||
'Now if a person sins and does any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, though he was unaware, still he is guilty, and shall bear his punishment.' Now that is pretty disheartening :(. My question is, was this under the law? If so, haven't we been redeemed from the curse of the law? (Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Gal 3:13). Another question: How do we reconcile the following scriptures? For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. Romans 2:13 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Romans 3:20 Thanks in advance to those who will respond. Abba Father Bless... |

193 | Reward? | Rom 6:4 | mbooker | 56798 | ||
'Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God' John 3:3 the amplified says: 'born again(anew, from above)'. Peter says: 'Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.' I Peter 1:23 That is what I was meaning. Hope I answered your question. Abba Father bless you... :) |

Thanks Brother Tim! I am an AVID believer in salvation by grace and I am very sensitive when I perceive(hear) that someone is suggesting, even in the slightest, that I have to DO this or DO that for my salvation. The scriptures you sited, I know well... :) and you posting them here only stirs up my faith that it is by grace that I am saved and not of works (oh how I love that!! :) ) Now I'm going back to re-read your post! :) Abba Father Bless you again and again... |

197 | Reward? | Rom 6:4 | mbooker | 56703 | ||
May I ask a question... (I guess I may since I'm asking :) ) 'What commandments do we need to obey? Just those which seem right or all of them? Does not a person obtain his reward by obeying ALL His commandments; baptism included?' When you say 'obtain his reward', is that reward salvation? When I say salavation, I mean being born again (born from above). Thanks |

198 | is jesus god? | John 1:1 | mbooker | 56698 | ||
Estelle I must tell you... I have been pondering your words and they have, I believe, helped me. I can honestly say I have never look at Jesus as 'the Most High God'. I look at God the Father as Most High but I had never seen the Son in that light. Your words have aided me in seeing my Savior, the Son, as the Most High. thanks and Abba Father bless and keep you... :) |

boy oh boy!! this is some subject!! I know a man who visited our church and he was upset because the pastor did not immediately water baptize those that came forward to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. At our church, baptism is done on the 3rd Sunday. I make the distinction of 'water' baptism because so far in scripture I have seen 3 different agents used in baptism. water: John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; John 1:26 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Matt 3:11 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: Luke 3:16 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. John 1:33 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. Acts 1:5 Holy Ghost/fire: I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Matt 3:11 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: Luke 3:16 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. John 1:33 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. Acts 1:5 the body of Christ: For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 1 Cor 12:13 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Gal 3:27 Having said all that :) My question(s)/comment(s) are these: I will not use a hypothetical. I am going to use myself. I came forward and accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour but I was not immediately baptized. It was a couple of weeks later (that 3rd Sunday evening at 6 pm :) ). Now, given my case, since I was not water baptized immediately after making my confession, was I being disobedient to God? If God commands that after we believe, we get baptized immediately, was my getting water baptized weeks later done in vain? btw, I am ASSURED of my salvation and KNOW without a doubt that I am born from above, so my post is simply to get feed back on the questions that popped in my head after reading through this thread. I also hope that 'we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ' Abba Father bless each and every one of you... |

Here's a passage of scripture(specificially v26) for you to meditate on that could answer your question: Acts 17 22-28 22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. 23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. 24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. the amplified version of v26: And He made from one [common origin, one source, one blood] all nations of men to settle on the face of the earth, having definitely determined [their] allotted periods of time and the fixed boundaries of their habitation (their settlements, lands, and abodes), |
