1081 | 3 brothers descendants changed | Col 1:16 | skccab | 205949 | ||
Jim, I'm aware of the scripture about the confusing of the languages but are you not talking about a genetic line outside of Adam's? It sure sounds like you are and I have not seen that backed up with scripture references. If you did so, please pardon me and would you give it again as I missed it? Cheri |

1082 | "The Great Commission" ? | Col 1:23 | skccab | 192882 | ||
Doc, Hi. I went to the http site this guy posted in one of his notes and I must say - it's quite enticing; it takes a verse here and there and does a pretty good job of making a convincing case. BUT, my problem is that after 2 days of reading this site (trying to go in order) I'm not sure where I'm supposed to end up. Can you tell me in just a paragraph or two what preterists believe? If it's that we are now in what most of us believers are looking forward to, the marriage supper of the Lamb, the Millennium, New heavens and new earth, haba olam - then how could anyone believe that? My brain is old now and has trouble remembering some things but I'm not dead yet and I think I'd remember those events! Thanks in advance. Cheri |

1083 | God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit one person? | Col 2:9 | skccab | 191940 | ||
Hi Cmorgan, Welcome to the Family and the Forum! It's such a joy to see my Family grow and grow. Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God. Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Joh 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Joh 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? Joh 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. Mar 12:28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? Mar 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: Yes, they are one. I'm sure someone else on the Forum will fill in what I have not been able to supply. The only way I can attempt to explain it is like this: In God's eyes: man unmarried equals 1 woman unmarried equals 1 That man and that woman marry each other equals 1. They are two, separate, but one flesh. I pray this helps get you started, but the concept of 3 individuals, separate, being One is just beyond our finite comprehension. Cheri |

1084 | is it ok to lie in certain cases | Col 3:9 | skccab | 207905 | ||
Shalom Bowler, Amen! Lying is always wrong, BUT in God's eyes a human life is the priority if and when that choice arises against an innocent person. (The opposite is true when human life hangs in the balance where a crime is concerned, i.e. an American capital crime, to lie to save that life would be wrong - God instituted capital punishment.)

1085 | is it ok to lie in certain cases | Col 3:9 | skccab | 207910 | ||
Steve, You misunderstood me!! I never said that there is a time that lying is OK or condoned by the Father. Neither is being a part of what would amount to murder. Reference scripture to back up that human life is precious to God is Lev. 22:21-23:9; Deut. 27:19, 24, 25. I'm sorry there's another passage that is on my mind but I can't find it - about a man causing the death of another man, and the dead man's blood would be on his hands and required of him (not the life for life, eye for eye passage though) First of all lying is always wrong and will be dealt with as such. BUT if telling the truth would bring about the death of an innocent person - then unfortunatly the human person (you or myself) is put into a situation where whichever route we take is wrong and a sin. It's wrong to knowingly play a part in the death of another human being who is not deserving of the death sentence according to God's Torah and it is wrong to lie. This is what God called giving a false witness. (Now I AM talking about situations such as Nazi Germany against the Jews and other "undesireables", or lying in a capital trial to put someone you know is innocent to death, or someone bursting into your life wanting to find someone to perform an act of revenge that you know nothing about, etc. - not just lying because it's more convenient.) Which of the two sins could I personally live with, could you live with? I hope we never have to make such a choice!! Shalom Cheri |

Again, Steve You are absolutely right in that I was guilty of presuming to speak for God as if my theory is His when I made that statement - and I was completely wrong to do that!!! I misworded it horribly and didn't recognize that I had when I proof-read. Very sorry and thank you for the correction. Cheri |

Shalom Steve, I will give you the last word on this. Bowler already did a marvelous job in his answer to Azure in post number 207920, I see no need to parrot him. I'll just simply say - "What he said!!" Have a great day Cheri |

1088 | is it ok to lie in certain cases | Col 3:9 | skccab | 207938 | ||
Steve, I read Bowler's post with the view that he was stating the Pharisees saw the act as breaking the Sabbath law - for the Sabbath law requires no work to be done (Ex. 20:8-11), hauling an animal out of a pit certainly is work. But the exertion required to save the animal out of a pit is the letter, not the spirit of that law. That's how I read Bowler's "teachings," Actually, I don't see that he is "teaching" anything, he's stating his understanding of lesser and greater wrongs. I stated my position once, and that is enough. Cheri |

1089 | is it ok to lie in certain cases | Col 3:9 | skccab | 207958 | ||
Shalom Tim, I'm bowing out of this discussion with this: if history ever repeats itself (and it does) where being a christian is against the law and punishable by death (and it could happen in our country) you have just told me that many here would turn in a brother/sister rather than lie. That's sad, and it sure isn't edifying to know that a member of God's family would turn another over to wicked evil. There is also nowhere in the bible that says it's OK to be complicit in the death of an innocent person. Cheri |

1090 | is it ok to lie in certain cases | Col 3:9 | skccab | 207969 | ||
Tim and Azure, shalom, One last time, let me see if I can get this straightened out Tim, you said: "We should have enough faith in God to trust Him to save, or, if it is His will, to die for Him. Can we imagine the apostle Paul lying to avoid being beheaded? What if Christ had lied to avoid the cross? I remember the story of Bishop Polycarp inviting those who came to arrest him to sit down for dinner with him. All of our lives are His to use as He sees fit." I say Amen! I thoroughly agree with each and every one of you in that area. And I would hope if it came down to it, that I would not lie to save myself, I hope I could just say 'Lord, I'm coming home, maybe a little sooner than I planned but hallelujah I'm on my way!' I was talking about being complicit in the harming or death of someone else who is not guilty of anything deserving bodily harm or death. Such as not telling the whereabouts of someone to a group of vigilantes. Maybe I'm wrong, but if that person is taken and harmed because of what I said then I see that as myself being a part of harming or murdering that person. (And just to make sure -- I'm not talking about telling the truth or not telling the truth in a legal court system.) Cheri |

Hi Hank, I'm not wishing for a debate either. Nor am I wanting to appear short and curt, but (there's that word again) I didn't want to be rude by not responding or have you think I was ignoring you. You're too nice to ignore or be rude to. :-) Thank you for your post. Shalom and have a great night Cheri |

Shalom and good morning Tim, OK, you DO have me on that one :-). Of course, if saying nothing were an option, that would definitely be the one to use, agreed. Have a great day yourself Me? I'll be having a discussion with the sandman after working all night shortly. Cheri |

Shalom, good morning John No, David was not a priest, those were the Levites, and the higher up priests (for lack of a better term), I believe, were of Aaron's lineage. Messiah was of the seed of David, of the tribe of Judah 1 Chron. 2:3-15. Be blessed Cheri |

John :-) No I wasn't talking about that at all. Not now. I just thought maybe you got confused, being up so late last night!! (Your email must have been around 3:30 am your time!!) And I thought I was the night owl. hahaha Just wanted to remind you. Cheri |

1096 | Why would he leave his servants? | 1 Thess 4:17 | skccab | 188753 | ||
MRoyal Does the Word state that they remain such in the millennium? I've heard of many debates over "once saved, always saved" but I don't believe I've ever heard of "once a virgin always a virgin." So where does the Word state that once their mission is complete that they are not released to live "normal" lives (as if anyone could live a normal life after going through what they will experience). cheri |

Hi MRoyal, What verse is that? cheri |

Thank you, John I thought something was wrong cos I couldn't find that particular verse anywhere. And I always tend to think it's me that's wrong. cheri |

1099 | Which saints will be left behind? | 1 Thess 4:17 | skccab | 188782 | ||
Amen, Steve, well stated. Maybe Mroyal should return to his first love and do his first works over again Rev. 2:4 and 5. It seems he got off the track somewhere. cheri |

1100 | Why would he leave his servants? | 1 Thess 4:17 | skccab | 188787 | ||
Mroyal, Rev 14:1-5 - ...(4.) Their character and description. [1.] They are described by their chastity and purity: They are virgins. They had not defiled themselves either with corporal or spiritual adultery; they had kept themselves clean from the abominations of the antichristian generation. [2.] By their loyalty and stedfast adherence to Christ: They follow the Lamb withersoever he goes; they follow the conduct of his word, Spirit, and providence, leaving it to him to lead them into what duties and difficulties he pleases. [3.] By their former designation to this honour: These were redeemed from among men, being the first-fruits to God, and to the Lamb, Rev_14:4. Here is plain evidence of a special redemption: They were redeemed from among men. Some of the children of men are, by redeeming mercy, distinguished from others: They were the first-fruits to God, and to the Lamb, his choice ones, eminent in every grace, and the earnest of many more who should be followers of them, as they were of Christ. [4.] By their universal integrity and conscientiousness: There was no guile found in them, and they were without fault before the throne of God. They were without any prevailing guile, any allowed fault; their hearts were right with God, and, as for their human infirmities, they were freely pardoned in Christ. This is the happy remnant who attend upon the Lord Jesus as their head and Lord; he is glorified in them, and they are glorified in him. - Henry These "come out of" the tribulation and could be actual virgins or as Henry states. |
