41 | How a Loving and just God commanded such | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 127499 | ||
Hi Johnny, You might consider the threads concerning Romans 12:19 which talk about the wrath of God and vengeance. I compared some verses in post #61428. From the heart, Ray |

42 | The law of the Spirit? | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 127849 | ||
Hi, Another typo: John 10:30 was the reference meant to compare with 1 John 2:20 and Hebrews 12:2. Here is another comparison: John 12:36, "While you have the Light, believe in the Light, in order that you may become sons of (Light)." Romans 8:16, "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of (God)." Jesus also claims to be the (Light) of the world. John 8:12 and 9:5. He is the Light while here on the earth and after He left it. While being in conflict with the Pharisees, we know that His witness is true. From the heart, Ray |

44 | Where are these words coming from? | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 127856 | ||
Hi Theo-Minor, Thanks for the references. Here are comparisons that I have made. I ask for your comments. 2 Timothy 1:6, "And for this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of (God) which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline. 8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, or of me His prisoner;..." 1 John 4:2, "By this you know the *spirit of (God): every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God:.." The spirit is the gift of God, the Giver. From the heart, Ray |

45 | What is God's major attribute? | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 129562 | ||
Hi Steve, I think also that holiness is God's major attribute. I need to spend some time yet in deciding if that is His name as well. Scripture tells us that His name is Holy, and His name is Jealous. However, in Isaiah 6:3, I believe that the verse is indeed speaking of His attributes. "Holy, Holy, Holy" is the Lord of hosts." Yet we can see the triune God in verse 8 as well for the "who will go for Us" refers back to my mind to the holy Lord of hosts of verse 3. The verses that Hiskid84 has given you are interesting to compare. In Isaiah 6:8 we hear Isaiah saying "Here am I. Send me." In Matthew 13:15 I see that God's Son was sent and we can understand that it is He who would heal. Revelation 6:10 says, "How long, of Lord*, holy and true, wilt (Thou) refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" Isaiah 6:3 has Isaiah saying, "Then I said, "Lord*, how long?" And (He) answered,..." From the heart, Ray |

46 | A New Perspective!??! | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 133263 | ||
Hi Country Girl, Yes, that was deep thinking on your part. I agree with you in principal; that it is important to know the beginning and the end. However, we do not have a God of confusion. In post #122619 this same "phenomenal" power was mentioned, along with a sentence with a misspelled word concerning what they were rdgdnig. So that was something less than phenomenal (phanomenal) also. I think that it is amazing that we can read so well in the situation where the letters are mixed. I would think that it would be more difficult in languages that are not read one word after another as English is. Certainly, letters can be mixed up and we can figure them out to get the words. However, if we mix up numbers then we could not determine the correct figures. But as I said at the first, our God is a God of order. He created everything in order. And if we wanted to argue a case before Him we would have to state our case in order before His eyes. Is that deep or what? Isaiah 44:7, "And who is like (Me)? Let him proclaim and declare it; Yes let him recount it to Me in order, From the time that I established the ancient nation. And let them declare to them the things that are coming And the events that are going to take place." Psalm 50:21, "These things you have done, and I kept silence; You thought that (I ) was just like you; I will reprove you, and state the case in order before your eyes." From the heart, Ray |

48 | Who did God create in Genesis 1:27-28? | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 137190 | ||
Hi Doc Trinsograce, I agree with your opinion. I would say further that the first chapter of Genesis tells us about the triune God being involved in creation. The chapter talks about the things that the Spirit of God did and what He said. The chapter has a total of pronouns that is divisible by three. This is noteworthy, I believe. After this introductory first chapter, the second chapter goes on and talks about how the Lord God made earth and heaven and goes on in detail and is more chronological. Is the number of pronouns of Deity in chapter one of signifcance to you? From the heart, Ray |

Hi Kalos, A Lteral Translation of the Holy Bible, 1985,1995, 1996 by Jay P. Green, Sr is in the margin of an Interlinear Greek-English New Testament that I use. It uses capitalization of Deity similar to the NASB and NKJ so I would recommend that book as a gift. :) From the heart, Ray |

Hi EdB, I have asked Janae the same question. See #141476. We are looking at the nature of Christ and whether He took upon Himself or himself the sins of the world. Is He fully man or Man? From the heart, Ray |

52 | Why is history repeated in Genesis? | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 143477 | ||
Hi DocTrinsograce, I look at patterns also. Proverbs 9:10, "The fear of the *Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Numbers 24:16, "The oracle of him who hears the words [literally, sayings] of *God, And knows the knowledge of the Most High." John 6:63, ".."the words that *I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe and who it was that would betray Him." Proverbs 2:5-8 Proverbs 3:7, "Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the *Lord and turn away from evil. Proverbs 11:1 Proverbs 15:9 Proverbs 15:33, "The fear of the *Lord is the instruction for wisdom, And before honor comes humility." Proverbs 20:12, "The hearing ear and the seeing eye, The *Lord has made both of them." Proverbs 21:2, "Every man's way is right in his own eyes, But the *Lord weighs the hearts." Just some of the repetitions and thoughts to consider in knowing Proverbs 9:10. From the heart, Ray |

Hi Searcher, The Mark 7:32-37 passage is an interesting incident where the bond of his tongue was loosed. First of all his ears were opened, and the the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began to speak plainly. Could it be that in the same way the Spirit helps our weakness? First we hear the word, then we speak the word; "speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the *Lord." Ephesians 5:19. Because *He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:27. ******* Romans 8:26, "...but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;" Mark 7:37, "And they were utterly astonished, saying, "He has done all things well; He makes even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak." From the heart, Ray |

Hi Steve, It is difficult to attribute to one Person this passage. Verse 26 says that the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings; however we know that Christ Jesus also intercedes for us, verse 34. And of course we know that God is Spirit. Verse 28 tells us that "God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." I would think of God the Father for verse 28, wouldn't you? What then shall we say about these things? Let's just say, "If God is for us, who is against us?" Romans 8:31. As for Mark, I would say that God is one; but yes, Jesus is the One who healed while looking up to heaven. He was doing the works of His Father. He and the Father are one. From the heart, Ray |

Hi Steve, It is difficult for all of us to understand God; and the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. But you have searched and found Him and you belong to Him. I appreciate all that you have done and are doing on the forum. 1) I believe that God is Spirit. An angel is a spirit. 2) I believe that God is Light and He said "I am the Light of the world." John 9:5. We are to be lights in the world, "giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light." Col 1:12. 3) I believe that there are too many words and meanings for "love" for us to say that God is Love." God is love: 1 John 4:16, "And we have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him." 4) We'll have to ask our Greek scholars about Romans 8:28, but I believe that Theos is always plural.

Hi Doc, Everyone is welcome to jump into a middle of a discussion. A couple questions, though. You wrote, "Then, He grants us His Holy Spirit, by Whom our very nature is changed so that we can believe these truths." What Scripture did you have in mind for this sentence? 1) Is "orthodox" the word you wanted to use when you gave us "The orthodox Christian take on the passages"? The King James for John 4:24 reads "God is a Spirit". Would you say that that version was not giving the orthodox view for the verse? The NASB for 1 John 1:5 has a copyright change. "God is light" was changed to "God is Light." Should we beware the version as now being unorthodox? I think not. I would say that the "jury is still out" and that Christians have not decided yet how it should be; lower or upper case. 2) I think that 1 John 1:5 compared with 1 Timothy 6:16 would be a meaningful study. 1 John 1:6, NASB, 1995, "If we say we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; 7 but if we walk in the Light as He **Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin." 1 Timothy 6:16, NKJ, "who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable **(l)Light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen." I enjoy talking about these "things" and hope you do also. God richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. 1 Timothy 6:17. From the heart, Ray |

Hi lionheart, Thank you for your best wishes. Actually, I have been struggling in my lastest rounds of chemo therapy and am feeling nausea right now. I will update the user info. My wife is outside bicycling right not and enjoying the variety of plants and animals on the bike path. How complexly and wonderfully made we all are. Yet we have His simple gospel message to share.

Hi Doc, Romans 8:16, "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of (God). 17 and if children, heirs also, heirs of God,..." Ephesians 1:10, NKJ, "...--in Him. 11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of (Him) who works all things according to the counsel of His will," ******* 1) Here are my thoughts of what John Calvin wrote. I think that the "testimony" (of the Spirit) is more excellent than all reason. God witnesses to Himself in His word, and He witnesses with our spirit. He witnesses to us through the mouths of the prophets, and we are persuaded by those words (given by the Spirit). By this power [sic] we are drawn and inflamed, knowingly and willingly, to obey Him. The word(s) will not find acceptance in men's hearts before it is sealed by the inward testimony of the Spirit. There is power in the words of God. Here then is my interpretation of Ephesians 1:13 for what it is worth. Ephesians 1:13, "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the *holy *spirit of promise, 14 which is given as a pledge of our inheritance,..." From the heart, Ray |

Hi Doc, Thank you for your encouragement and prayers. Do you think that John Calvin made any distinction between the Word and the word(s) of God? Were they aware yet in his day of the inheritance that they were to receive in/by/through the Scriptures? From the heart, Ray |
