1301 | Sola Scriptura-A False teaching | 2 Tim 3:16 | Emmaus | 94434 | ||
gbennett, A creed is nothing more than saying what you believe. Do you perceive being asked what you believe as a prelude to an attack? It is good to know where someone is coming from. Is that too much to ask? I am often a lone voice for the positions I take on this forum. That does not mean I want to attack you or anyone else, nor does everyone else attack me. But most of us here at least are open and clear about what perspective we are are coming from and where we stand in our major beliefs and what we hold as sources of authority. And most if not all here hold Scripture to authoritative and most, myself being an exception, hold it to be the sole authority. Most people are proud or at least willing to state what they believe is the truth and why. How about you? Emmaus |

gbennett, So then your believe is in the teaching of the Gnostic Tradition. Thank you. Emmaus |

1303 | Titus 3:5 and washing of regeneration | Titus 3:5 | Emmaus | 132563 | ||
Dalcent and others, May I suggest that this and other threads are getting far afield from the purpose of this Forum, which is the study of the Bible, not Church history. We are not going to solve all the problems and division of the past 500 years of Christianity here. And we certainly should not expect to be convincing others of our poisition, nor should we be attacking one another. I find the best practice to be stating one's position and understanding and why and letting that satnd on its own merits, then leaving it at that. This whole argument began due the intemperate remarks of a person who is no longer posting. The blaze is still burning long after he was consumed by his handiwork. Perhaps we can get back to where we were before this started before we and the Forum meet the same fate. Emmaus |

1305 | Offering? Or having offered... | Hebrews | Emmaus | 88251 | ||
graceful, "In Revelation 4 and 5 I do not see the repeated application of the blood on the alter. Purhaps you could direct me to a verse or verses which you derive this conclusion. There is a repeated worship of the Lamb, but the application of the sin offering according to Hebrews 10 was only once..for all.." The altar represents God when the High Priest appl;ied the blood to it. So the Blood of Christ is offered once and eternally to the Father. I do not see a "repeated application of the blood to the altar." I only see a repaeted application of its merits to our sinful selves while we unlike God are bound in time. I also assume you still worship the Lord who is the Lamb of God. This is ongoing I presume eternally for the saved. Don't you? I do not believe that always or ongoing is the same as "repeated" in the pejorative sense that you imply, as if you are implying that I believe the one sacrifice of Christ is insufficient, which I do not beleieve. I beleieve it is once for all but eternal in significance and application. No, I do not believe that Christ is sacrificed over and over again. But we do "plead the blood" over and over again for the forgiveness of our sins and for our salvation. I hope that puts your mind at rest. Emmaus |

1306 | Offering? Or having offered... | Hebrews | Emmaus | 88268 | ||
Joe, I must confess your question (How was Christ's sacrifice "made present" to those who lived before the Incarnation?)is one I have never encountered before, so I am reluctant to give any "authoritative" answer. But since the Eucharist is a sacrament of faith, I would suspect that the faith of the Old Testament saints comes into play in any answer. What do you think? Emmaus |

1307 | Offering? Or having offered... | Hebrews | Emmaus | 88277 | ||
Joe, "Well, I hold to a different sacramentology than you do, of course, so I can associate the OT sacrificial system (particularly the Passover feast) with the Lord's Table in the NT. But I would agree that the faith of both OT saints and NT saints is definitely a given." Our sacramentology may be different, but not so different that I can not also associate the Passover feast with the Lord's table. It is different to the extent that I do not associate them as being equal in efficacy, since the Passover feast was a "making present" the Passover in Egypt and the "Lord's Table" " makes present" the fulfillment of what the Passover in Egypt foreshadowed, which is "Christ our Passover." This is an interesting topic which we have touched on before. In a sense the Eucharist is still a veiled presence and a "pledge of the glory to come" in its fullness only with the Second Coming and the resurrection of our bodies. It is as a sacrament of faith, "the substance of things hoped for" so to speak. But I may be getting in over my head here. Emmaus |

1308 | Is Jesus Gods son? | Heb 1:5 | Emmaus | 71073 | ||
Jim, While I understand the emphasis on the blood scarifices of the OT and of Jesus, I am rather sceptical of any emphasis on the "blood type" issue, which is purely speculative. The Father does not and did not have a "blood type" to give to the Son Incarnate since the Father is spirit. In a sense all blood types come from God since God created man and his blood with all its types. Emmaus |

1309 | Is Jesus Gods son? | Heb 1:5 | Emmaus | 71092 | ||
Pastor Glenn, To have a human nature is not the same thing as having a fallen human nature. The Divine Son took on a sinless human nature, not a fallen human nature. Truly He was born of the seed of a woman, Gen 3:15, but not the seed of a man, rather by the power of the Holy Spirit. I will resist the temptation to get into the whole concept of the Immaculate Conception of Mary as it may apply here, having already run that guantlet before. :-) The corrupted or sinful human nature tends toward sin even without temptation, whereas even Adam and Eve in the sinless state of their human natures did not tend naturally toward sin, but were subject to temptation. It was giving into that temptation that corrupted their previously undefiled human nature. In the same manner Jesus was subject to temptation but did not give in to it. Emmaus |

1310 | Greek word | Heb 4:12 | Emmaus | 169901 | ||
Dolly, When you are interested in the meaning of a Greek word in the text do this: Go to the right hand side of the screen, down to the box under Translation Book Chapter; verse and type in for example, Hebrews 4:12 and click Go or enter. It will take you to the chapeter and the verse will be highligter. Click the little green box next to the verse that has an I in it. That will take you to a page that will give you information on the Grek words in the text. Emmaus |

1311 | What is a repentance from dead works? | Heb 6:1 | Emmaus | 133548 | ||
Mommapbs, I think this is something we must all gard against in many ways. We tend not to think about sins of omission as much as we do trying to avoid sins of comission. Like the rich man, we thing we are doing fine if we do not abuse the beggar at our door, but we still sin by ignoring his need. The rich man never bothered Lazaraus. Ever heard the phrase, "he won't hurt you, but he won't help you either" used to describe someone? Makes me think of Jesus says, "because you are neither hot nor cold, I will spew you out." |

Ray , I am not sure I understand you question. Were you answering your own question in the rest of your post? It is the purifying blood in the various passages that I cited that ties them together together. Hysop is also mentioned in several passages related to the sprinkling of the blood. Emmaus |

1314 | Do you accept defeat too? | Heb 10:14 | Emmaus | 108546 | ||
Greetings Tim and Nolan, Tim, You said: "Where we differ, I believe, is that I don't see as strong a connection between the 'sinful nature' and the 'physical body'. For instance, I don't see the reference in Rom. 6:6 to the 'body of sin' as referring to the human body. Rather, I see Paul using several terms in a synonymous sense - 'flesh', 'body of sin', and 'old man'. So, I would say that 'sin nature' is dead now for believers, but as you pointed out, a believer can still yield to it. According to Rom. 6, if a believer does this, he makes himself a slave again to it. So, I would see the 'sinful nature' as less a physical reality and more of a way of life. So, I see the sins of the flesh as springing from this 'mindset', not from something physical within us." Please consider this. I think it is important to understand that man is an integrated spiritual and physical reality as created by God. We are not spirits with a "body suit." Thus the importance of the resurrection of the body. We also know that the mind and body effect one another for good and bad. Our fallen nature is both a spiritual and physical reality, so our minds and bodies are effected in an integrated way. Emmaus |

1315 | Do you accept defeat too? | Heb 10:14 | Emmaus | 108561 | ||
Tim, "The point I was trying to make, perhaps not very well, was that the body itself is not inheriently sinful. There have been those in the past who felt that physical 'flesh' is sinful. Thus, they would deny that Christ came in the flesh." I would agree with this. It avoids the heresy of the Gnostics and Manicheans that all physical creation is inherently corrupt by nature and not due to its fallen state in contradiction to God's statement in Genesis that all he had created was good.

1316 | Do you accept defeat too? | Heb 10:14 | Emmaus | 108626 | ||
Ed, Then is Jesus really true man as well as true God or just God in a body suit? It is late and I have to go to bed, but I think we may be getting into some basic Christology here. Emmaus |

1317 | Do you accept defeat too? | Heb 10:14 | Emmaus | 108632 | ||
Ed, It is the "body suit" concept that I can not accept. The nature of man is an integrated spiritual and physical being. We know this because God created us that way and death (the result of sin) is the separation of the body and spirit. Jesus came to overcome death by the resurrection of the body to restore us to wholeness, although at an even higher level than we had before. I must go to bed. Early wakeup for work. Good to correspond with you again. Emmaus Emmaus |

1318 | Do you accept defeat too? | Heb 10:14 | Emmaus | 108645 | ||
Ed, We will be integrally perfected, not separately as I understand and see it. Our redemption is not completed until the resurrection of the body we again become whole and cleansed of all sin as God originally created us to be. Emmaus |

1319 | for by grace you have been saved through | Heb 10:26 | Emmaus | 136207 | ||
k james, Adding to Kalos' point, read verse 13 along with Phil 2:12. It makes all trhe difference. Grace is the very life of "God who is at work in you". Phil 2:12-13 "So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure." No good work in Christ is possible without grace. Emmaus |

1320 | stigmata? | Heb 11:26 | Emmaus | 118008 | ||
asken, I found you translation . It is The New English Bible published in 1970 by the Oxford Press and Cambridge Press. That does use the word stigma in Hebrews 13:13. It is a British Protestant translation. My copy has the Apocrypha included and was received as a gift from a Presbyterian friend in 1971. I must have at least 8 or 9 translations or paraphrases.
