21 | physical resurrection | Ezek 37:1 | Arnie | 44910 | ||
Greetings Markarios, You didn't say what the problems are. "There are many problems and challenges when you take this vision to mean a literal, physical resurrection of the bodies." |

22 | physical resurrection | Ezek 37:1 | Arnie | 44924 | ||
Dear Markarios, I doubt if I could answer satisfactoraly the problems and challanges that you stated, but let me try, I'll start with the easest one, #3. (in verse's 12 , 14)now they will have God's Spirit in them so they now will have their first chance for salvation. without God's spirit we are lost and without hope. #2. "Ezekials own explanation" I'm not sure what you mean by this, I don't see an explanation by Ezekiel of the vision, he simply made a statement of the vision he had. #1 , #4 are basically the same question Rev 20 helps explain the resurrections, 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection After the thousand year reign "The rest of the dead lived" The first resurrection was a spiritual resurrection, they received their reward. This is another resurrection, (the rest of the dead) I believe God's plan of salvation must give every creature a chance for salvation, not only for Israel but for all mankind, there must be a day of salvation for those who didn't have their first one. I believe Ezekiel 37 is an indication of just that. Arnie |

23 | Crucified with Christ | Luke 24:45 | Arnie | 42165 | ||
Scott, yes it is, The problem I have is just as we are crucified with Christ on the cross, I find I keep wanting to come down off the cross and do my own will, or when we are baptized in to His death, I want to keep coming up out of the water. But thanks be to Christ and to God our Father for their long suffering toward me, and the grace I have been given. I believe we come to start understanding His will when we are ready to give up this life at repentance, come to realize that our natural mind will only bring damnation, and accept the very mind of Christ in us.

24 | Where does the Bible say all have heard? | John 14:6 | Arnie | 44593 | ||
The tense in Col 1:23 is "being preached" "proclaimed" every creature in the world has been or will hear the Gospel. Col 1:12-29 1. To whom it was preached: To every creature under heaven (v. 23), that is, it was ordered to be preached to every creature, Mark 16:15. It may be preached to every creature; for the gospel excludes none who do not exclude themselves. More or less it has been or will be preached to every nation, though many have sinned away the light of it and perhaps some have never yet enjoyed it. (from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible: New Modern Edition, Electronic Database. Copyright (c) 1991 by Hendrickson Publishers, Inc.) Mark 16:15 5 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. KJV NT:2784 usso (kay-roos'-so); of uncertain affinity; to herald (as a public crier), especially divine truth (the gospel): KJV - preacher (-er), proclaim, publish.

Dear Tim, My knowledge of the Greek langauge is very limited, what I understood the Aorist tense to be is "something being done without a time frame" a fact in this case "preached" I understood the present tense from the following: PREACH, PREACHING 2. kerusso NT:2784 signities (a) "to be a herald," or, in general, "to proclaim," e. g., Matt 3:1; Mark 1:45, "publish"; in Luke 4:18, RV, "to proclaim," KJV, "to preach"; so verse 19; Luke 12:3; Acts 10:37; Rom 2:21; Rev 5:2. In 1 Peter 3:19 the probable reference is, not to glad tidings (which there is no real evidence that Noah preached, nor is there evidence that the spirits of antediluvian people are actually "in prison"), but to the act of Christ after His resurrection in proclaiming His victory to fallen angelic spirits; (b) "to preach the gospel as a herald," e. g., Matt 24:14; Mark 13:10, RV, "be preached" (KJV, "be published"); 14:9; 16:15,20; 8:1; 9:2; 24:47; 8:5; 19:13; 28:31; 10:14, present participle, lit., "(one) preaching," "a preacher"; 10:15 (1 st part); 1 Cor 1:23; 15:11,12; 2 Cor 1:19; 4:5; 11:4; Gal 2:2; Phil 1:15; Col 1:23; 1 Thess 2:9; 1 Tim 3:16; (c) "to preach the word," 2 Tim 4:2 (of the ministry of the Scriptures, with special reference to the gospel). See PROCLAIM, PUBLISH. (from Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words, Copyright (c)1985, Thomas Nelson Publishers) The reference says "Present participle" in reference to Col 1:23 I believe thats where I made the error in saying present tense.

Dear Tim, Thayers says somewhat the same as the reference you posted, I think this is where I got my idea on "no regard for past, present or future time" 5777 Tense - Aorist The aorist tense is characterized by its emphasis on punctiliar action; that is, the concept of the verb is considered without regard for past, present, or future time. There is no direct or clear English equivalent for this tense, though it is generally rendered as a simple past tense in most translations. The events described by the aorist tense are classified into a number of categories by grammarians. The most common of these include a view of the action as having begun from a certain point ("inceptive aorist"), or having ended at a certain point ("cumulative aorist"), or merely existing at a certain point ("punctiliar aorist"). The categorization of other cases can be found in Greek reference grammars. The English reader need not concern himself with most of these finer points concerning the aorist tense, since in most cases they cannot be rendered accurately in English translation, being fine points of Greek exegesis only. The common practice of rendering an aorist by a simple English past tense should suffice in most cases Arnie |

27 | recognize Christ? | John 15:16 | Arnie | 46069 | ||
Dear Parable, When using the word "responsible" I meant when He chose (John 15:16) us, He being the initiator, the one who is doing the work, it would be up to Him, not up to us, to deliver the doctrines that we come to understand. I had not thought of the second point you made but it is a very good one Once we are called we are set apart in the eyes of God and now have a special standing with God. |

28 | Christ and doctrines revealed to us? | John 15:16 | Arnie | 46184 | ||
Dear Parable, I do beleive in progressive revelation, but any new revelation WILL NOT CHANGE any original revelation, it will only add to it. A good example is Christ bringing the spiritual dimension to the "law". Thou shalt not kill, now we are not to be angry, without a just cause, with our brother. It dosn't do away with the original, it magnified it. There are several examples of this in the "Sermon on the Mount" You need not go far for examples of different doctrines, Catholics have theirs, the Lutherans theirs, Methothist have theirs, Babtist have theirs, ect. Many practice the same doctrines but how do they get different teaching on those they differ so much on, Baptism - Immersion (age of understanding) or sprinkling (infant Baptism). This was part of the Gospel that was taught by Christ and the Disciples, "Repent and be Baptize, everyone of you. This seems to be a foundational principle. Did God the Father give both methods of Baptism? Does it make a difference? I think it does. There are many other major different beliefs, with this posting I'm not trying to argue that one or the other is right, I'm saying do they all come from the mind of God. I believe God gives us the truth initially, then as times goes by, we start compromising the truth, small change here and there, after a period of time we can't recognize what God gave us from the beginning. Rev 2:25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. KJV Rev 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. KJV Heb 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; KJV In Christian Love, Arnie |

29 | Does God hate or love sinners, or both? | Rom 5:8 | Arnie | 42392 | ||
Dear Bill, I am reading you and Searcher56 posting with interest, I'm trying to figure out if you were serious or jesting when you said, the OT and NT were not in agreement? Arnie |

30 | Can a man know God without a Bible? | Rom 10:17 | Arnie | 42162 | ||
Searcher56, I believe the two verses do not conflict, God will reveal himself to all men as it says in Romans 1;16ff and indeed God will send His faithful ministery to reveal His truth, the problem that usually occurs is that MEN put a time frame on Gods salvation. Men limit God's power to save. | ||||||

Dear Ray, Thanks, what I find most interesting is that Christ entered into a marriage covenant with Israel, at Mount Sinai, Israel promised to faithfully obey all the commandments of God only to fail miserably, the part I find interesting, (I would like your comments) is Christ must have known that Israel would fail. Rom 9:32-33 32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. KJV Why would He enter into a relationship knowing it would fail? Arnie |

33 | Can we figure out God's Truth | 2 Tim 3:16 | Arnie | 44589 | ||
Hi Ralphie, I think you answered the question with the first part of your answer, We Can't understand God's Truth by our selves, we need help from the Holy Spirit. on the last half of your answer I think I would add We must also "LIVE IT" if we are to KNOW if the doctrine is of God. John 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. KJV Hos 14:9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.

34 | Never had a chance to reject Christ | 2 Pet 3:1 | Arnie | 41056 | ||
Angel 1, I think you are so correct in not trying to MAKE God's plan happen, the example of Abraham and Sarah is right-on. He indeed must have a plan, and the only answer I see, about those who havn't had a chance to reject Christ, and it must include billions, is another "day of salvation". I thought someone might find an answer in the bible. Arnie | ||||||

Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;KJV I don't think this is speaking of those who never knew the truth. To "hold the truth" you must first know it. Satan would be a good example of one who holds the truth in unrighteousness |

For the sake of brevity I didn't list all the rest of the verses in this chapter, but this whole chapter is talking about someone who knew the truth.

KJV Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are CLEARLY SEEN, being UNDERSTOOD by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: KJV Rom 1:21 Because that, WHEN THEY KNEW GOD, they glorified him not as God, KJV Rom 1:23 And CHANGED THE GLORY of the uncorruptible God into an image KJV Rom 1:25 Who CHANGED THE TRUTH OF GOD into a lie, KJV Rom 1:28 And even as they did not LIKE TO RETAIN GOD in their knowledge, KJV |

Reformer Joe, thanks for the reply, the original question was, Is this the only day of salvation? I know we all fall into the catogory of Romans 3:11-12 We are all lost if it were left to us. Is God calling all humanity in this present age.Is the Holy Spirit at work calling all the peoples of the world? The Holy Spirit has always used human instruments to proclaims its message, Generally speaking I don't think there are to many people preaching the truth of God in these countries. Rom 10:14-15 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! KJV |

39 | Is today the only day of salvation for a | 2 Pet 3:1 | Arnie | 41151 | ||
I don't think God is a failure, why can't there be another day of salvation? God is just and merciful, I don't think it is either just or merciful to send billions of people who have never been given a chance to know the truth to eternal damnation. Given the fact of millions of abortions, those unborn certainly don't deserve eternal damnation. There are to many verses in the Bible that talk about a just and merciful God to believe that could happen. | ||||||
40 | Never had a chance to reject Christ | 2 Pet 3:1 | Arnie | 41152 | ||
Yes this will happen before the end comes. Has the end came yet? I don't put a time frame on God's plan of salvation. | ||||||
