41 | Why is this verse here? | Luke 6:40 | YenIsaRap | 218546 | ||
Dear Searcher56 Your observation confuses me. How do you come to the point that I am taking both views. Please explain to me how you come to this conclusion. Maybe I need to learn to word my thoughts better:-) Thank you Blessings YenIsaRap |

42 | Why is this verse here? | Luke 6:40 | YenIsaRap | 218562 | ||
Hi Guys Searcher, John Please excuse the delay in my response to you both. At this point, after a lot more study on the verses, I concur they do relate. I humbly ask, could each of you please explain your views of this relation, I would like to be able to compare the similarities they contain, and how you both came to your conclusions. Blessings |

44 | universalism? | Luke 23:34 | YenIsaRap | 218957 | ||
Dear Brad I'm sorry, but I have to say I totally disagree with your quote as far as who Jesus was praying for. "Jesus evidently is praying for the Roman soldiers, who were only obeying, but not for the Sanhedrin." This statement of Mr. Robertson's is rather limiting considering the work Jesus accomplished, in reading the prophesy of Isaiah 53:10-12 where Jesus v.10 becomes an offering for sin, v.11 by His knowledge He shall justify many, v.12 He was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. All three of these verses indicate Jesus was asking forgiveness for all mankind, for all time. For even we today do not know what we have done. In Him YenIsaRap |

45 | universalism? | Luke 23:34 | YenIsaRap | 218964 | ||
Dear Brad I agree with your assessment of Universalism :-), I do not feel there is scripture for that position. My question to you would then be, could you explain why Jesus was only praying for the soldiers, and not all of Israel? And us by extension. I am not seeing the context that you are saying is there. sorry Brother Yen |

46 | universalism? | Luke 23:34 | YenIsaRap | 218994 | ||
Dear Searcher your statement "The Roman soldiers did not know they were killing the Son of God. To them they were killing a criminal against Rome." Your treatment of the word (killing) is very interesting, from the last I heard, in the 10 commandments it says "thou shall not kill", that means to me, even if I was a Roman soldier killing is wrong, something that God will hold me accountable for. (period) There was another post in this thread, where the person said she would not comment, she was alluding to the defense the German soldiers made after WW-II saying, "I was only following orders" did that defense make it ok to kill Jews? After all they were the enemies of the Third Reich. In fully understanding these verses, it wasn't what the Roman soldiers knew, or didn't know, it is what Jesus knew. If I was being put to death, as Steven was stoned, I could say the same thing, but not being Christ, I do not have the all encompassing understanding of just what His death would, did, and has meant for mankind. In conclusion I lay the two side by side, they are in essence the same prayer, except one is the prayer of the Son of God, with the full understanding of His mission on Earth, the other is a man, no different that we are, praying for the forgiveness of those killing him, as we were taught by the Son of God to do. Luk 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. Act 7:60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep Be Blessed in Christ YenIsaRap. |

Dear Brad Yes, I can fully agree with your understanding to be found within the context. But we are not reading about just any man, and the events of that day, did not just relate in context to the people that were present for the crucifixion. The events that day are still reverberating around the world. As I said yes , I can fully agree with the context understanding, it is just the fact that Jesus death, is so much more far reaching than that moment in time for those people. If you want to put it all into a special prayer for those soldiers that day, because God would "REALLY" be angry at the ones that physically did the deed, then sure your right:-) Be Blessed in Christ YenIsaRap |

48 | Knowledge of Messiah | John 3:1 | YenIsaRap | 218999 | ||
Dear carolisblessed Thank you for all of the time, and effort you put into your post. It is much appreciated:-) But as to my question, I can't tell from your answer whether or not you are saying, they did, or didn't know. Remember I am asking about the RULERS only. I have heard people say for years that they knew exactly who Jesus was, and had Him crucified to keep the power they had. Is there scripture for this type of belief? Nicodemus said John 3:2 2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, (WE KNOW YOU ARE A TEACHER) come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. But He never acknowledged Him as Messiah. Blessings in Jesus YenIsaRap |

49 | Love is not a feeling | John 13:1 | YenIsaRap | 219718 | ||
Dear John Your very informative quote on what love is, intrigued me greatly, I have done some searching, and found some other quotes from your favorite well known Author, and Psychiatrist - M. Scott Peck I see that he is in your estimation, a perfect example of the type of person, that could truly express the kind of love as taught by Jesus, in the Bible. These quotes of your Mr. Peck, and more can be found at - - - Ascension Gateway.com 1) “Nirvana or lasting enlightenment or true spiritual growth can be achieved only through persistent exercise of real love.” 2) But for the first time, I had a religious identity. I had come home. And so I called myself a Zen Buddhist at the age of 18. 3) I can remember years ago sitting on my bed and suddenly thinking, "I am God." 4) God wants us to become himself or herself or itself. We are growing toward Godhood. God is the goal of evolution. I much prefer this as a definitive definition, and a much more reliable source. ( 1 Cor.13:4-7 ) Bless You YenIsaRap |

51 | Why did Paul do it? For conscience sake? | Acts 21:23 | YenIsaRap | 218122 | ||
Dear Asure I am sorry this is a few days form your original post to Doc. But I wanted to ask you a question if I may. In your post to Doc you related a conversation you had. "It brought to mind a little chat with a brother at my church last Sunday while he and I were discussing the problem in practicing Matthew 5:23-24, Matthew 18:15 and Eph 4:15 at church." "He mentioned that not many eastern Christians accept the idea and practice it". "For we don't want to hurt the brother/sister or trigger his/her resentment". "However, I always wonder since the Bible has clearly provided us the principle/guidelines, we are just making the issues complicated and more problems arise if we do it our own way. The consequences could be misunderstanding, gossipping, bitterness, untrusting...:-(" My questions then would be. 1) Are there similar teachings that Eastern Christians do not accept or have difficulty putting into practice? 2) Does this reluctance come from the Buddhist teachings in your society and culture? 3) It is interesting to me to understand how different societies would accept and implement these teachings that we in the West receive as normal. Let me ask you another question I just thought of. 4) If in the West (Europe - United States) Our Civil Laws are based or have there roots in the 10 Commandments. Where did the East derive there Civil Laws from? Enough for now God Bless Yen |

52 | Who is a Jew? | Acts 21:39 | YenIsaRap | 218796 | ||
Addendum to an old post Romans 2:25-29 25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. 26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? 27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? 28 FOR HE IS NOT A JEW, WHICH IS ONE OUTWARDLY; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 BUT HE IS A JEW, WHICH IS ONE INWARDLY; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. Ephesians 2:11-22 11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

53 | Can we live life without sinning? | Rom 6:12 | YenIsaRap | 218054 | ||
Dear David In this statement of yours. "Isn't this really the process of sanctification which is a work of God?" 1) Are you saying that sanctification is an act of Gods' grace a completed work? 2) Or are you saying that we become sanctified through an ongoing process? Blessings YenIsaRap |

54 | Can we live life without sinning? | Rom 6:12 | YenIsaRap | 218096 | ||
Dear David Your use of Rom.12:2 is a proof text. It does not say sanctification is an ongoing process. These scriptures on the other hand say sanctification is a completed work. Acts 26:18 those who ARE SANCTIFIED by faith in me Rom.15:16 that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, BEING SANCTIFIED by the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians 1:2 to THOSE SANCTIFIED in Christ Jesus and called to be holy 1 Corinthians 6:11 But you WERE WASHED , you WERE SANCTIFIED Heb.2:11 For both HE THAT SANTIFIETH and they who ARE SANCTIFIED are all of one Hebrews 10:10 By this will we HAVE BEEN SANCTIFIED through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering He HAS PERFECTED for all time those who ARE SANCTIFIED Hebrews 10:29 who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant THAT SANCTIFIED HIM, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? Jud 1:1 to them that ARE SANCTIFIED BY GOD the Father, AND PRESERVED in Jesus Christ, and called Be Blessed YenIsaRap |

58 | the last Adam | 1 Cor 15:45 | YenIsaRap | 218004 | ||
Dear Makarios 1) Your question about "WHY" would God include the Tree of Life. Let's look at creation for the answer. Didn't God create opposites in nature? Hot - Cold Night - Day Male - Female. Therefore is not the Tree of Life the opposite of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil which bears the fruit of "DEATH". On the other hand we could ask the question "WHY" would God include "EITHER" Tree in the garden? The inclusion or exclusion of the Tree of Life in the garden does not give us sufficient evidence as to the question of the immortality of Adam upon his creation by God. 2) There were two trees that were in the midst of the Garden the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and the Tree of Life. God gave command to Adam not to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil But there was not any such command in regard to the Tree of Life. We could therefor assume Adam could and did eat of the Tree of Life upon occasion. Could have been even part of his daily routine. Not that he was commanded to eat or that he needed to eat to maintain his immortality. Like I said though that is assumption but that is the only way I could answer your hypothetical question about his need for eating from the Tree of Life. 3) If man was already immortal then God including death as a consequence (Gen. 2:17) would be the most logical consequence for the disobedience. After all what would be a better punishment for an immortal but loosing that immortality. God being Sovereign already knew what Adam would do. Then on the other hand It seems illogical that the consequence of disobedience as recorded in (Gen. 2:17) would be death if Adam was not immortal. What I am saying is that if Adam was going to die anyway what consequence is there? To sum it up I think scripture gives us the answer as it should. Gen.16,17 16) And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17) but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die." Again what would be the point of telling Adam that he would surely die if he was going to die anyway? If Adam was created in the image and likeness of God just what does that entail? God does not have a physical appearance as we do does He? It then seems as though Adam would therefore have the attributes of God ie, He is immortal. Blessings YenIsaRap |

59 | the last Adam | 1 Cor 15:45 | YenIsaRap | 218016 | ||
Dear Brother stjohn Rom. 5:12 (NASB) Therefore, just as through (X)one man sin entered into the world, and (Y)death through sin, and (Z)so death spread to all men, because all sinned-- Rom. 5:12 (KJV) Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: According to (Rom. 5:12) Death entered the world through sin. Therefore Adam was created immortal. Nowhere in scripture are we told Adam succumbed to temptation. Eve was tempted then gave to Adam. (Gen.3:12) (K)The man said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate." Adams' sin was eating the forbidden fruit. Gen.2:16,17 16) The LORD God (Q)commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 17) but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it (R)you will surely die." Be Blessed YenIsaRap |
