481 | Jesus went to God immediately? | John 20:17 | EdB | 241506 | ||
I think the problem here is timing and trying to constrain the Godhead to man's linear time. Hebrews tells us Jesus presented His blood on the altar of Heaven. Eph tells us Jesus lead the captives of death to heaven. Elsewhere we are told Jesus preached the Good News in Hades/hell. Scripture tells us where 2 or more meet in His name He will be there also. Jesus is obviously not constrained by human physical limitations. So yes Jesus could have gone directly into God's presence, into the altar to place His blood upon it, to Hades/Hell to preach and lead the rigtheous dead held captive by death to heaven and did it all in a time frame we as humans can not imagine. All we need to know is upon Jesus' death and resurrection many things transpired and were accomplish on our behalf. |

482 | Isn't Paradise the Heaven? | John 20:17 | EdB | 241481 | ||
Doc No one mentioned Purgatory except you. Do you think Jesus made up the view of Hades/Hell spoken of in Luke 16:19-31? What do you think Eph 4:8 is speaking of? The links you supply did not refute the picture Jesus gave us in Luke 16:19-31. Which raises the question if the view of Hades/Hell as held by some Jews was incorrect why would Jesus reinforce that belief by describing the exact same situation and place as you say they incorrectly believed in? |

483 | Vessels to honor or dishonor | 2 Tim 2:20 | EdB | 241393 | ||
I think I did answer, the verse says there are gold, silver and earthenware,wood any of these can be used for honor or dishonor. As far as cleansing nothing but the blood of Jesus can cleanse. Our righteousness is as filthy rags. That said this passage is taking of Christians. The ones of honor are the faithful, bold soldiers of Christ. The dishonored ones are the lazy, weak soldiers that refuse to honor the one that called them. Put another way verse 21 is saying once we are washed by the blood (saved) of Jesus we then need to insure we stay away from dishonor. We are called to be holy and pure |

484 | The GENEVA BIBLE anything of interest? | Bible general | EdB | 241382 | ||
I use the NASB to do personal study but I find I have a hard time reading aloud from it so I use either the NJKV or NLT. I like the NLT because for many listeners English is a second language and the NLT is easy for them to understand. | ||||||
485 | What is "that which is within"? | Luke 11:41 | EdB | 241355 | ||
I think you make the mistake that only the righteous can be charitable. Many unrighteous in our own age are very charitable. Remember our righteousness is like filthy rags to God. Is 64:6 11:37-41. A Pharisee invited Jesus to dinner. Jesus did not engage in the ritual washing before the meal, which completely surprised... the Pharisee. Jesus focused on greed, a characteristic of the Pharisees, and said that they should be as concerned with the cleansing of the inside as they were with washing the outside of the body. One indication that they were clean on the inside would be their willingness to give material things to the poor. This meant not that their act of giving would atone for their sins, but that it would show a proper relationship to the Law and to God.

486 | Naming Created Things | Gen 2:19 | EdB | 241319 | ||
Keep in mind the Hebrew (the language Adam was thought to speak) names were more descriptive of the animal than the English names. Like commonly seen in Latin the original languages names were combination of words and sounds that described the physical appearance or nature of the animal. Example snake or serpent in Hebrew comes from a word in Hebrew that means to "hiss" |

487 | torment in hell annihilation in the lake | Rev 19:20 | EdB | 241208 | ||
Actually I didn't mention verb nor did I mention any particular verse in my last reply. But if we go to verse Revelation 20:10 you mentioned (NASB) 10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. I think the words tormented day and night forever and ever paints a fairly vivid picture of eternity. Don't you? I also think the Greek word kai which is translated also suggests the Beast and false prophet are present when Satan is thrown in. Interestingly Allisraelsaved was not challenging the wording or verb tense of scripture. Allisraelsaved point was only who was keeping the false prophet and the beast alive. I find your comments interesting and causes me to wonder why you felt complied to make them. |

488 | torment in hell annihilation in the lake | Rev 19:20 | EdB | 241206 | ||
You are trying to make the case of total annililation. To do it you need a way to explain extra-Bibically why the beast and false prophet were mentioned in a present after being thrown in the lake of fire. You are giving credit for this to Satan. That is a dangerous position to take. First no where in scripture does it suggest Satan has the power to sustain life. Secondly because Jesus holds the keys of Death, Hell and the grave. Jesus controls life not Satan. Thirdly Satan's ilk is to deceive how better to deceive people than convince them eternal punishment for the rejection of Christ isn't valid. Satan does not have the power to keep anyone alive either here on earth or in the Lake of Fire. Since the beast and the false Prophet are alive in the Lake of Fire proves scripture that tells us our spirits are eternal. We live eternally with Christ because of our belief in Him or we live eternally in damnation because of our rejection of Jesus. Do not add to scripture. |

490 | is the book of enoch part of the gospel | Bible general | EdB | 241073 | ||
the answer given may be a bit misleading. I do not believe the Roman Catholic church give any credence to the Book of Enoch. Question: "What is the book of Enoch and should it be in the Bible?" Answer: The Book of Enoch is any of several pseudepigraphal (falsely attributed works, texts whose claimed authorship is unfounded) works that attribute themselves to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah; that is, Enoch son of Jared (Genesis 5:18). Enoch is also one of the two people in the Bible taken up to heaven without dying (the other being Elijah), as the Bible says "And Enoch walked with God, and he was not; for God took him." (Genesis 5:24; see also Hebrews 11:5). Most commonly, the phrase "Book of Enoch" refers to 1 Enoch, which is wholly extant only in the Ethiopic language. The biblical book of Jude quotes from the Book of Enoch in verses 14-15, “Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: ‘See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.’” But this does not mean the Book of Enoch is inspired by God and should be in the Bible. Jude’s quote is not the only quote in the Bible from a non-biblical source. The Apostle Paul quotes Epimenides in Titus 1:12 but that does not mean we should give any additional authority to Epimenides’ writings. The same is true with Jude, verses 14-15. Jude quoting from the book of Enoch does not indicate the entire Book of Enoch is inspired, or even true. All it means is that particular verse is true. It is interesting to note that no scholars believe the Book of Enoch to have truly been written by the Enoch in the Bible. Enoch was seven generations from Adam, prior to the Flood (Genesis 5:1-24). Evidently, though, this was genuinely something that Enoch prophesied – or the Bible would not attribute it to him, “Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men…” (Jude 14). This saying of Enoch was evidently handed down by tradition, and eventually recorded in the Book of Enoch. We should treat the Book of Enoch (and the other books like it) in the same manner we do the other Apocryphal writings. Some of what the Apocrypha says is true and correct, but at the same time, much of it is false and historically inaccurate. If you read these books, you have to treat them as interesting but fallible historical documents, not as the inspired, authoritative Word of God. Recommended Resources: The Canon of Scripture by F.F. Bruce and Logos Bible Software. Read more: http://www.gotquestions.org/book-of-Enoch.html |

491 | what happened to Jesus in the grave? | Luke 23:43 | EdB | 240798 | ||
Actually Sheol is the Hebrew word, Hades is the is the Greek word and Hell is the English. All three are speaking of the same place and as you said to the Jew Sheol,Hades,Hell was the holding place of the dead. In Luke 16:19-31 Jesus gives us a picture of the place. One side now empty was for the righteous dead and the other the hot dry place was the holding place of the unrighteous dead. The side for the righteous was known as Abraham's bosom or Paradise and the other is often refered to as simply hell. The righteous side was emptied by Jesus Eph 4:8 and since then the righteous go directly into His presence 2 Cor 5:8 So today if we say someone is in hell that is assuming that they died without Christ and await the Great White Throne of Judgement. However before the cross that was not the story. |

492 | what happened to Jesus in the grave? | Luke 23:43 | EdB | 240792 | ||
According to Jewish understanding on Hades/Hell the holding place of the dead there was two sides. One a hot dry place and the other Abraham's bosom or paradise. We see this further explained in Luke 16:9-31 where Jesus gives us a picture of Hades/Hell. Remember Hades/Hell is not the final punishment place of the wicked dead, the Lake of Fire is. In fact Hades/Hell gets thrown into the Lake of Fire. Jesus went to the Abraham's bosom or paradise side of Hades/Hell where in fact the thief went also and preached the the Good News and lead those held captive by death captive to heaven. Eph 4:8 |

I share your concerns and agree that future seems bleak. My opinion the day ministry changed from being a calling to a career was the day the Christian church opened the door for everything you mentioned. Pastors are selected from resumes instead of by prayer. Ministry success is measured in headcount or dollars instead of disciple making. The society's attitude has also changed. Many people attend not in obedience to God but rather what is in it for them. Christian religion is no longer a lifestyle but rather something we do on Sunday. Look at Islam. It requires a commitment that is not found in Christianity. It becomes a lifestyle long lost to Christianity and it contains absolutes that are not left up to everyone's own interpretation. To me the biggest problem is instead of reforming the church it was instead fragmented with each fragment left to it own opinions and interpretations. Instead of being one body of Christ we are now many bodies that are often in conflict or at the very best only on strained speaking terms. John 17:20-21 (NASB) 20 "I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; 21 that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. 1 Corinthians 1:10 (NASB) 10 Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment. Ephesians 4:1-3 (NASB) 1 Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, 3 being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. |

I checked the KJV and compared it to a NKJV version I have that I thought included all the differences between the various versions. They evidently missed one. The minute I checked the NASB I saw it. Sorry my mistake. Had I even read the verse quote above I would have saw it. I really missed it on that one. SORRY! | ||||||

That is not a unbiased view. MacArthur is a open cessationist and therefore his work will be slanted that way. I think it is far better to make the recommendations Doc did. I think it is wise to get an unbiased understanding of each sides position and then seek God's leading through prayer on the subject. |
