1081 | One God- Three manifestations | John 14:5 | srbaegon | 47157 | ||
Hello bob r. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are NOT one and the same. They are co-equal and eternal persons of the Godhead. Modalism was debunked as heresy over 1500 years ago. Steve |

1082 | How can God (Jesus) increase in wisdom? | Luke 2:52 | srbaegon | 47155 | ||
Hello bob r. Christ can increase in wisdom because He took on flesh and blood. Jesus as fully God and fully man had to enter into all those things that are human. Hebrews 2:17 (ESV) Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. Note: "made like his brothers in every respect". And-- Hebrews 5:8 (ESV) Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. The knowledge and wisdom must have been experiental in His earthly walk. Steve |

1083 | Is Genesis 1:2 the fall of satan? | Gen 1:2 | srbaegon | 47149 | ||
Hello G ZAZ Your allegorical approach to the passage makes little sense to me. I prefer a literal approach where God created the earth in its most elemental state (like a ball of clay but not formed--"without form and void"). The remainder of Gen 1 explains in simple terms how God shaped and added to that. Steve |

Hello Tim, Oops, that means I erred. I answered this question with only an English translation on hand noticing the strictly negative connotation. Ah, well. Steve |

Hello Nancy Yes, it was the turn the other cheek thing. And as I said, feel free to e-mail it privately to srbricker@hotmail.com Steve |

1086 | Is the Formula for sin to hate anything? | John 3:14 | srbaegon | 46781 | ||
Hello Giam In the name of love you have intertwined God with creation to such an extent that I must conclude you are a heretic teaching pantheism. I have no time for such frivilous activity. Steve |

1087 | Is the Formula for sin to hate anything? | John 3:14 | srbaegon | 46743 | ||
Hello Giam I'm sorry, but your logic is exceedingly difficult to follow. Much of my difficulty has to do with your use of the word "as". When you write: "So it is clear that when God continued to lvoe Himself as Man in order to lvoe Man as Himself,...", do you mean that God saw Himself to be a man and therefore loved Himself as a man? Or do you mean God loved man in the same way He loved Himself? Or is there another meaning? Also, you continually add words to Scripture. That is disrespectful. Please stop. Steve |

OK, I can wait for Ehrman. I can get more educated on "Q". Steve |

1089 | Where does Jesus say He is God? | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 46599 | ||
Hello Nancy While Makarios is pondering his usual capable response (and he is quite capable), I'll take a poke at this. Your conclusions from Dr. Ehrman's teaching appears to be more emotional than factual simply because of the capitalization you used for emphasis. The argument of what has/has not been altered over the centuries is simply not valid. Textual critics will acknowledge that greater than 90 percent (and actually closer to 95 percent) of the Bible is in agreement across all manuscripts, papyrii, fragments, etc. Most of the remainder is minor copyist error that does not affect doctrine. The final portions are words or sentences left out from one to the other. This final group is the only one where alterations could have occurred. You are correct that language changes so that meaning can be lost. We see that between the King James Bible and modern English translations. However, that is why we have those who study ancient languages--to get the intended meaning and state it properly. And lastly, how can you say Jesus said many profound and wise things when you do not believe the documents from which they come are factual? Steve |

1090 | Where does Jesus say He is God? | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 46585 | ||
Hello Nancy One could say Jesus was pointing to himself. I think it's more accurate that he drew attention to himself to point to God. He certainly exposed the hypocrisy of the priests as a way of drawing that attention. I would like to see what you have on turning the other cheek. If you like, you can e-mail it to me at srbricker@hotmail.com Steve |

1091 | Where does Jesus say He is God? | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 46578 | ||
Hello Nancy Sorry that I'm lax in responding. I don't know the truth because I'm a devout Christian. Rather, I know the one who called himself the truth (Jesus Christ)--not just that he had the truth (he did), but he was the source of truth. The other teachings you mentioned point to another for truth. Jesus pointed to himself. I trust him, not just his words. Steve |

1092 | Does love or hate sinners? matt 5:43-48 | Ex 23:22 | srbaegon | 46566 | ||
Hello Giam Yes, God loves sinners, as shown by these two verses. John 3:16 (ESV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Romans 5:8 (ESV) but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. On the other hand He hates evil deeds and those who reject His love. Proverbs 6:16-19 (ESV) There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: [17] haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, [18] a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, [19] a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. John 3:36 (ESV) Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. Steve |

1093 | Can i hate chickens and love JC? mt23:37 | John 3:14 | srbaegon | 46563 | ||
Hello Mommapbs It seems reasonable to me that the serpent WAS one of the species that God created in Gen 1:24-25. And that Satan spoke through that creature to beguile Eve. :-) For "crawling on the belly", I see it as God changing snakes so that they no longer had legs. You might say they were collateral damage for the curse, much the same as the swine that were destroyed when Legion was allowed to inhabit them. Steve |

1094 | Is the Formula for sin to hate anything? | John 3:14 | srbaegon | 46560 | ||
Hello Giam Yes, God loves us all the way! But the following logic in your posting doesn't make sense to me. God is love (1 John 4:8), so He freely loves us. Matt 22:36-40 commands us to love God and love people because these are not natural to us. God must place His love in us to accomplish this. And I agree with the correlation of love to Matt 7:12. You wrote: "So Steve, before we can love others, we have to lvoe ourselves." I disagree. We naturally love ourselves too much. The whole idea of following Christ is to deny ourselves and lose our lives so that He might have His perfect way in us (Matt 16:24-26). You go on to mention how we like or dislike our character traits and actions that we see in others. That's true. But I think you are making a simple thing very complicated. Steve |

1095 | Three Little Words | Deut 12:8 | srbaegon | 45917 | ||
Hello Hank I was thinking this afternoon of this attitude and its inevitable result. Proverbs 16:18 (ESV) Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Steve |

1096 | Where does Jesus say He is God? | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 45916 | ||
Hello IneffableUniverse Of course I claim to know the truth. Jesus Christ claimed to be the truth. He promised the Holy Spirit would lead us into all truth. You said: "Also, when Jesus uses the word "Son", is it possible that He meant "son" (lower case S) to indicate that we are ALL sons and daughters of God?" No. Christ used a definite article when calling Himself "the" Son. To indicate we are all "sons" in our present state, the proper grammar would be to use an indefinite article ("a" son). Steve |

1097 | Raven, do you want ALL the Law? | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 45876 | ||
Hello RAVEN Wait a minute. First, you prove that God can live in mortal flesh (Jesus Christ), and then you tell me it's impossible for God to live in mortal flesh. Which is it? And where do you get the idea that having the Holy Spirit dwelling in us gives us the right to live a wanton lifestyle? Go read Romans 6. Of course God wants us to reflect His attributes. That's part of the reason the Holy Spirit indwells us (Rom 8; 1 Cor 2; Gal 5:16-18). And having the Holy Spirit indwelling us does not make Him a partaker of our sin. There are two spirits at work here--God's and mine. He doesn't possess us like a demon, taking over complete control. Steve |

1098 | Sealing of the 144,000? | Rev 14:1 | srbaegon | 45856 | ||
Hello jme You speak of an apparent contradiction. There is no contradiction. I agree that Rom 11:1-10 speaks of the remnant chosen by grace--at the present time. However, Romans 11:11-32 speaks very clearly that the physical Jewish nation will be brought back into God's blessing in the future. Steve |
||||||
1099 | Raven, do you want ALL the Law? | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 45821 | ||
Hello RAVEN You are correct. The word of God dwells in us. Joe is absolutely correct. Examination of the Scriptures clearly shows that Almighty God does indeed dwell within us. Just because God is too great to be contained by any created thing does not mean He cannot have His presence dwell there. God dwelt in both the tabernacle and temple (Exod 25:8,22). He dwells in believers as well. Steve |
||||||
1100 | Sealing of the 144,000? | Rev 14:1 | srbaegon | 45804 | ||
Hello jme God has not cast off His physical people forever per Romans 11. If you were to do a study concerning the tribes of Israel, you would find that the names listed are different in many cases. This is hardly conclusive evidence that the 144,000 is spiritual Israel. Steve |
