Jesus Christ is not God, God is Jesus Christ, and there is a difference, the bible shows that whatever form God manifested Himself as has been accepted as God, John 1:1 In the Greek it states God was the Word Theos and Logos not the Word was God Logos and Theos, God was manifested in the flesh, 1Ti 3:16 | ||||||

can you get hold of a JFB or Gill commentary, a good programme it's free is called E-Sword, you can download it of the net. You knew there were 2 census's from Gill's commentary, it won't come up because of all the hashes and so on Luk 2:2 - And this taxing was first made,.... Or "this was the first enrolment, or taxing" in the Jewish nation; for there was another afterwards, when Judas the Galilean arose, and drew many after him, Act_5:38. |

4 | A possible translation error? (Lk 2:2) | Bible general Archive 2 | Leslie N | 126269 | ||
from Robertson's commentary Luk 2:2 - The first enrolment ***apographe prote***. A definite allusion by Luke to a series of censuses instituted by Augustus, the second of which is mentioned by him in Act 5:37. This second one is described by Josephus and it was supposed by some that Luke confused the two. But Ramsay has shown that a periodical fourteen-year census in Egypt is given in dated papyri back to a.d. 20. The one in Act_5:37 would then be a.d. 6. This is in the time of Augustus. The first would then be b.c. 8 in Egypt. If it was delayed a couple of years in Palestine by Herod the Great for obvious reasons, that would make the birth of Christ about b.c. 6 which agrees with the other known data When Quirinius ***Kureniou***. Genitive absolute. Here again Luke has been attacked on the ground that Quirinius was only governor of Syria once and that was a.d. 6 as shown by Josephus ***Ant. XVIII. I.I***. But Ramsay has proven by inscriptions that Quirinius was twice in Syria and that Luke is correct here also. See summary of the facts in my Luke the Historian in the Light of Research, pp. 118-29. ________________________ from the ISBE But the Gospel is not free from attack. The chief matter in the Gospel of Luke which is challenged on historical grounds, apart from the birth-narratives, which some critics treat as legendary, is the census in Luk_2:1 ff. Critics, who in general have accepted Luke's veracity, have sometimes admitted that here he fell into error and confused the census under Quirinius in 6-7 AD when Quirinius came, after the banishment of Archelaus, to take a census and to collect taxes, much to the indignation of the Jews ***compare Act_5:37; Josephus, Ant, XVIII, i***. It was not known that Quirinius had been governor of Syria before this time, nor was there any other knowledge of a census under Augustus. The case against Luke seemed strong. But Ramsay ***Was Christ Born at Bethlehem? 227 ff.*** shows that the inscription at Tibur, as agreed by Mommsen and like authorities, shows that Quirinius "twice governed Syria as legatus of the divine Augustus." He was consul in 12 BC, so that the first mission was after that date. Ramsay shows also from the papyri that the 14-year cycle was used for the Roman census ***many census papers are known from 20 AD on***. He argues that the first one was instituted by Augustus in 8 BC. Herod, as a vassal king, would naturally be allowed to conduct it in the Jewish fashion, not the Roman, and it was probably delayed several years in the provinces. Thus once more Luke is vindicated in a remarkable way ________________________ from Easton's Dictionary Cyrenius the Grecized form of Quirinus. His full name was Publius Sulpicius Quirinus. Recent historical investigation has proved that Quirinus was governor of Cilicia, which was annexed to Syria at the time of our Lord's birth. Cilicia, which he ruled, being a province of Syria, he is called the governor, which he was de jure, of Syria. Some ten years afterwards he was appointed governor of Syria for the second time. During his tenure of office, at the time of our Lord's birth ***Luk_2:2***, a "taxing" ***R.V., "enrolment;" i.e., a registration*** of the people was "first made;" i.e., was made for the first time under his government. ***See TAXING.*** |

________________________ from Smith's dictionary Cyrenius Cyre'nius. ***warrior***. The Greek form of the Roman name of Quirinus. The full name is Publius Sulpicius Quirinus. He was consul, B.C. 12, and was made governor of Syria, after the banishment of Archelaus, in A.D. 6. He probably was twice governor of Syria; his first governorship extended from B.C. 4 ***the year of Christ's birth*** to B.C. 1. It was during this time that he was sent to make the enrollment which caused Joseph and Mary to visit Bethlehem. Luk_2:2. The second enrollment is mentioned in Act_5:37. __________________________ from Gill's commenatry Luk 2:2 - And this taxing was first made,.... Or "this was the first enrolment, or taxing" in the Jewish nation; for there was another afterwards, when Judas the Galilean arose, and drew many after him, Act_5:38. When Cyrenius was governor of Syria; or "of Cyrenius" "governor of Syria"; that is, it was the first that he was, concerned in; who not now, but afterwards was governor of Syria; and because he had been so before Luke wrote this history, and this being a title of honour, and what might distinguish him from others of that name, it is given him; for as Tertullian says ***c***, Sentius Saturninus was now governor of Syria, when Cyrenius was sent into Judea, to make this register, or taxing; and which is manifestly distinguished from that, which was made during his being governor of Syria, when Archelaus was banished from Judea, ten or eleven years after Herod's death; which Josephus ***d*** gives an account of, and Luke refers to, in Act_5:37. Moreover, the words will bear to be rendered thus, "and this tax, or enrolment, was made before Cyrenius was governor of Syria"; ðñùôç, being used for ðñïôåñá, as in Joh_1:15. This Cyrenius is the same whom the Romans call Quirinius, and Quirinus; a governor of Syria had great power in Judea, to which it was annexed, when Cyrenius was governor there. It is reported of R. Gamaliel, that he went to take a licence, "from a governor of Syria" ***e***; i.e. to intercalate the year: and Syria was in many things like to the land of Judea, particularly as to tithes, and the keeping of the seventh year ***f***, ***c*** Contr. Marcion, l. 4. c. 19. ***d*** Antiqu. l. 18. c. 1. ***e*** Misn. Ediot. c. 7. sect. 7. ***f*** T. Bab. Gittin. fol. 8. 1. __________________________ from JFB commentary Luk 2:2 - first . . . when Cyrenius, and c.--a very perplexing verse, inasmuch as Cyrenius, or Quirinus, appears not to have been governor of Syria for about ten years after the birth of Christ, and the "taxing" under his administration was what led to the insurrection mentioned in Act_5:37. That there was a taxing, however, of the whole Roman Empire under Augustus, is now admitted by all; and candid critics, even of skeptical tendency, are ready to allow that there is not likely to be any real inaccuracy in the statement of our Evangelist. Many superior scholars would render the words thus, "This registration was previous to Cyrenius being governor of Syria"--as the word "first" is rendered in Joh_1:15; Joh_15:18. In this case, of course, the difficulty vanishes. But it is perhaps better to suppose, with others, that the registration may have been ordered with a view to the taxation, about the time of our Lord's birth, though the taxing itself--an obnoxious measure in Palestine--was not carried out till the time of Quirinus. ___________________________ |

6 | WHAT DOES GOD SAY ABOUT DIVORCE. | Bible general Archive 2 | Leslie N | 126276 | ||
thamks Kalos, I was pointing out that God's command through Paul was a latter one than the one's in the 4 main gospels. The allowances given by Jesus Christ was not they directed to the Jews and based on the Jewish Law? As christians, if some one hurts us we have to forgive. if our behaviour is not in accordance with God's will (as revealed through the Gospel) are not we supposed to repent. On repentance, I have this on my fridge, I don't know who wrote it, it was not me- Repentance is not just feeling sorry about your sin but to change your way of thinking and acting. You must learn to take your every thought captive and make them obedient to Christ. So since we have to forgive, repent and obey what grounds for divorce then exists. The woman who was divorced, I am not judging you, and you have done nothing that you have to give an explanation for (to me or to any other christian really). I had sex with my wife before we were married that's between me and GOD. I put that in there to show we are all alike in one way, but in another way we are all alike too (God's forgiveness) |

Phil Sorry about correcting you, it was done in ignorance. The debate about 'God is Jesus; Jesus Christ is God' we have to stop. The reason why is I am an Australian and some christians here follow the English Church. I quote from the Westminster Confession of Faith, 'In the unity of the Godhead there be three persons of one substance, power, and eternity; God the Father, ****God the Son****, and God the Holy Ghost'. I think it best not to debate each other on these things, whether God is Jesus Christ, or Jesus Christ is God. The other discussion on the translation of the greek word 'hn o' we can still continue, though. |

Is "o wn" God's name | ||||||
10 | God's name -I AM- | Bible general Archive 2 | Leslie N | 138263 | ||
this was the original question I wanted help with; in part- o wn is used only in Exo 3:14 Is "o wn" God's name God said in Exo_3:14 (I use the Sept because we have only Greek versions of the NT for comparison?) egw eimi o wn (I AM THAT I AM) and He further adds (I AM). In the second part of Exo 3:14 what Greek word is used for I AM? I want to know if God refers to Himself by 'o wn'. Is God's name (egw eimi) used in the following verses Luk 1:19 Act 10:21 Act 22:3 or does the use of the word I AM also have to include 'o wn'. |
||||||
11 | God's name -I AM- | Bible general Archive 2 | Leslie N | 139214 | ||
Your answer ('“Yahweh” [YHWH] is not one of God’s names—it is his only name) is flawed due to Mat 28:19- baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost but since my question was coverning the use of 'o wn' as part of God's name- Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, -----What is his name--- ? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. So are you saying the name that Moses used was not I AM but YHWH? |

What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ--the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me Phi 3:8-12 so what happened? Am I different? and assumptions are not good for a christian (it looks like) what do you think Paul's reply was? |

I forgot, your phrase 'It looks like you must have made some additional purchases after the forsaking' is this based on evidence or lack of evidence. Is the computer I am using owned by an internet cafe? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment Joh 7:24 |

15 | 2 questions | Bible general Archive 2 | Leslie N | 144242 | ||
Well I'm going to keep you in the dark because I am not answerable to you. It is of no concern to you if my resurrection is fact or hope, instead of concerning yourself with another person you should be more concerned with yourself. 'It looks like you must have made some additional purchases after the forsaking' this is someone judging some one else's actions based on no evidence whatsoever, but only their own assumptions And these lines I like, 'if you understand what I was asking?; That isn’t a hard a question is it, it seems rather basic to most!'. Well to me that appears that you are insulting my intelligence. Are you being insulting? Should a christian's behaviour be as you have exhibited? |

16 | Guidelines on rebuking | Matthew | Leslie N | 125841 | ||
thanks Theo, now concerning my work, well I thought any person would realise the part 'my work' that I was referring to was the topics, not the bible or the verses themselves, in respect of any mistakes made, I take the responsibility for them and also what I meant is that I don't mind if you copy it or whatever. A lot of bibles and such have a copyright on them and you have to be careful when reproducing it. Next time it might be best to ask for an explanation before you judge someone falsely. And regarding it being a jumbled mess, are you condemning that work because it doesnot meet your standards of editorship. In that case I apologise regarding my skills at editing. Also a pat on the back, well I can't really get one if no one knows who I am. And also are you the person I was helping (in regards to the question) if not then on what basis do you have a problem with the answer, since it was not in answer to your question, if the person who asked the question found the answer unhelpful that would be a different matter. Gal 5:25-26 | ||||||
17 | Guidelines on rebuking | Matthew | Leslie N | 125921 | ||
Theo, in my particulars (under my name) I have included the statement 'that I have not got the spiritual gift of teaching' so accordingly I can't ascribe to God a work that I consider was not done by His help, in respect of errors in that work (God does not make mistakes). Christians should make this point clear, whether they have that particular gift. Jam 3:1-2 in the GNB so that is 1 reason I said 'My work'. Yes I accept your apology for saying that I plagarised, that basically means to steal, I wanted to exalt myself, I am prideful, I try to impress other people. The answer though to all these though is no, no, no, no. Basically what you have done is slander me based on your own perceptions. Mat 15:19-20 Mar 7:21-22 2Ti 3:1-3 Act_5:30-32 1Jo_3:23-24 Gal_5:16-26 Tit 3:2-3 Jam 4:11-12 1 Corinthians 5:11-12 and 1Co 6:9-10 And in respect of strife, I posted a list of verses I thought another person could use and I included no other statement than, this is my own work, and one of the reasons i stated this was not to give it authority, as comming from God. It was you who decided to start criticising another christian without even asking him for an explanation or a reason. Since you don't want strife why did you start it, then? And yes you can tell a tree by its fruits. |

18 | concerning the death of John the Baptist | Matt 14:12 | Leslie N | 126172 | ||
what I was trying to point out was Jesus Christ not knowing John had died. does not these Phi_2:5-11 Heb_2:6-9 mean Jesus Christ (while upon the earth) had some limitations Joh_14:28 Heb_6:13 and we have to recognise those limitations 1Jo_4:1-3 2Jo_1:7 those limitations being from His Humanity (Flesh) Rom_1:3-4 even though His divine nature 1Ti_3:16, was then proclaimed Mat_3:17 Mat_17:5 Mar_9:7 2Pe_1:17 Mat_1:18 Mat_1:20 Luk_1:35 Mat_16:16 Joh_11:27 Luk_4:41 and is now, affirmed and known by those knowing and seeing Joh_20:31 Col_2:8-9 concerning Lazarus Joh_11:41 I mostly rely upon the Bible and no other works, I know where the Bible comes from, the other works I don't. |

19 | God the Son as a confession of faith | John 17:22 | Leslie N | 126359 | ||
Emmaus, Jesus said to Peter, you are a rock, and upon this rock I will build my church, He doesnot say churches. In another part of scripture it says the Church is the body of Christ (can't remember where)there is only 1 body of Christ. To tell you the truth, and this might upset some christians and I apologise, this is just my view, there should only be 1 church, with 1 standard, with 1 purpose based on that rock (Peter). I don't think I will see it in my lifetime, but what a glorious church it will be. | ||||||
20 | God the Son as a confession of faith | John 17:22 | Leslie N | 126395 | ||
another add-on, re. God is Jesus Christ or is Jesus Christ God sorry, I forgot to include these verses, God is a Spirit John 4:24 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And ****every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God***: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world 1Jo 4:1-3 many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that ***Jesus Christ is come in the flesh***. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son 2Jo 1:7-9 |
