481 | Rahab righteous or not? | Josh 2:4 | stjohn | 214643 | ||
Sister Val, I've never really thought of it as me saving the day. It was purely a knee-jerk reaction. I didn't really think about it or form a plan, it just sorta happened before I had time to think. I'd call it divine intervention! :-) Praise be to God! John |

482 | direction to valley of moab from oboth | Num 21:11 | stjohn | 214615 | ||
Dear Keliy, Perhaps the brevity of my rhetorical question obscured it's intended meaning. I'm sorry, it's my fault for not being clear. If I may please explain. I know it's not always the case, or easy to see at times, but when it becomes apparent that a question is most probably a homework question, it then becomes our responsibility to direct the student to the passage of scripture or other resources to do the reading or research for themselves. I'm sure the teacher we speak of, would really appreciate us teaching his or her student's the lesson of how impotent it is to do our own work and know the pride of knowing we did not shirk our responsibilities; and in our following our teachers instructions, learn an even more important lesson in the long run. I hope you see my point, and join me, Keliy, in doing the responsible thing for these students of God's Word. Shalom and God bless John |

484 | Crucified With Christ | John 19:30 | stjohn | 214606 | ||
Crucified With Christ How I want to hide my face As I approach this Holy place; Where Jesus Christ hangs crucified, Expressing God's redeeming grace. Look up, He says, Look up and see All the sin I take from thee, I take your guilt, your shame, and curse. Expressing God's deep love for thee. The law of God you would not keep, Tears my hands and rips my feet; Punishes with its accursed death, All your guilt, which I receive. Stripped of all my clothes I hang, All I have is guilt and shame; All your sin is given to me, It even shames my holy Name; It hides the very face of God, While all your vilest sin I shod; All my day becomes your night, Judged, condemned by Holy God. See your sins upon the Lamb, Cursed by God, and fully damned; See the judgment and the grace, Given by God, the great I Am. With broken heart and tearful face, I see you as you take my place; I hear you pray, I hear you cry, Oh live by God's redeeming grace. I no more shun and no more hide, But with you, Oh Lord, my sin does die. Amazing love, amazing grace, To be with you now crucified! Oh keep me here, my blessed Savior, And let me drink of God's great favor; I will not hide, but here abide, Receive God's love my soul does savor. Michael Gregory |

485 | Moabites forbidden and Ruth allowed?? | Deut 23:3 | stjohn | 214587 | ||
Hi MJH, Very well done! For an excellent study on the story of Ruth, I highly recommend this link. --"Ruth - Redemption Illustrated Ruth presents the gospel to us in story form. It shows how Ruth, an outcast Moabite, is accepted into the family of God through the work of Boaz, her "Kinsman-Redeemer." This little book teaches us about sin and repentance, about the grace of God and forgiveness, of the love and care of Christ, and of the joy of fellowship with God's people. Come and enjoy as we dig up the treasure of the gospel, and display its jewels through this study."-- http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com/Ruth_Study/ John |

486 | Moabites forbidden and Ruth allowed?? | Deut 23:3 | stjohn | 214568 | ||
Shalom Cheri, I knew you couldn't be far off! :-) I write mostly for those reading along. Another thing we tend to miss, I know I do, when I'm not seeing the big picture is: when it says, even to the tenth generation, even that doesn't mean "everyone" before that tenth generation will be excluded. It just means that everyone who is in that mindset of unbelief will not be excepted. Remember the Israelites brought proselytes out of Egypt with them too. :-) John |

487 | Moabites forbidden and Ruth allowed?? | Deut 23:3 | stjohn | 214565 | ||
Cheri, It does look that way, from an OT only, perspective, but when we take in the whole counsel of Scripture, we can see further into the nature of God, His grace, forgiveness, and all redeeming sacrificial love, for all of mankind, and for all time, past, present, and future. Gal 3:28 You wont find "forever" in all translations. The word, "forever" used in this context is, somewhat subjective. Most render it as: down to the tenth generation. "even down to the tenth generation." NIV The NASB has it as: "none of their descendants, even to the tenth generation, shall ever enter the assembly of the LORD," NRSV has it as: "Even to the tenth generation, none of their descendants shall be admitted to the assembly of the Lord," The ESV really makes it confusing, they have it as: "Even to the tenth generation, none of them may enter the assembly of the Lord forever," But the Lord's grace is indeed FOREVER-!! "That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants." Rom 9:8 "Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law. But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise." Galatians 3:21-29 Everyone, from all times, past, present, future, are saved by the same faith, that is, in Christ, our saviour. No one is excluded, none, who genuinely believe, will put to shame. Faith, is, the magnet that draws God's people to Himself, and the glue that holds us to Him. John |

Hi Cheri, You're welcome! :-) Males only, though perhaps in general, may not have been the dividing rule. Some commentator's/scholars believe (as do I) that "anyone" who converted to the Jewish faith, (as now into the Christian faith) would be exempted from eternal judgment, and welcomed into the family of God. Provided that is, if they, in times before the Christ (again as now) were genuine believers. John |

489 | does God still send prophets? | 2 Cor 11:13 | stjohn | 214524 | ||
Hi lionheart, I've noticed that one very common connection between these false prophets is, most all of them, have a deity complex. And why do so many believe them? Because they too, (just like Eve) want to be, "like God." (Gen 3:5) The Devil is still at it - giving out his origanl desception. John |

490 | does God still send prophets? | 2 Cor 11:13 | stjohn | 214521 | ||
Dear cowboy, The problem with that is, you are still not seeing that there is a difference between THE angel of the Lord, and, AN angel of the Lord. Not to diminish or disparage the KJV, I happen to love it for all it's worth. But there are many, more accurate translations; The NASB being one of them. And it has it in the NT as, AN angel of the Lord. Yes, there is only one that can rightly be called, THE angel of the Lord, but not every angel is, THE angel of the Lord. Please read post 214490 John |

491 | does God still send prophets? | 2 Cor 11:13 | stjohn | 214520 | ||
cowboy, I've read Willy Branham's statement on that, and though he said it wasn't a prophesy, he went on to say, it was divinely inspired. Completely contradicting himself, and disqualifying his previous assertion that it wasn't a prophesy! He also said, he saw balls of fire when he preached. Interestingly, he was the only one who saw them. And, very sadly, fools still follow this devil's teaching. John |

493 | does God still send prophets? | 2 Cor 11:13 | stjohn | 214496 | ||
cowboy, There is no mention of THE angel of the Lord in Acts, nor is there mention of THE angel of the Lord in Revelation. The angel mentioned in the New Testament is referred to as, AN angel of the Lord. There's a big difference between the two. John |

cowboy, You ask, "what is one thing he said that did not come to pass?" Well, let's see, how about that Jesus would return in 1977-? Now I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that did not happen. And by the way, thats just the tip of the iceberg! The list is far too long to even go into. I pray that you do some research on this so called prophet, and find some truth. John |

cowboy, There seems to be a great deal of confusion on your part as to who "The Angle of the Lord" is. Here's something from http://www.gotquestions.org/angel-of-the-Lord.html that I truly hope helps you in your understanding. Question: "Who is the angel of the Lord?" Answer: The precise identity of the "angel of the Lord" is not specifically given in the Bible. However, there are many important "clues" to his identity. There are Old and New Testament references to “angels of the Lord,” “an angel of the Lord,” and “THE angel of the Lord.” It seems when the definite article the is used, it is specifying a unique being, separate from the other angels. The angel of the Lord speaks as God, identifies Himself with God, and exercises the responsibilities of God (Genesis 16:7-12; 21: 17-18; 22:11-18; Exodus 3:2; Judges 2:1-4; 5:23; 6:11-24; 13:3-22; 2 Samuel 24:16; Zechariah 1:12; 3:1; 12:8). In several of these appearances, those who saw the angel of the Lord feared for their lives because they had "seen the Lord." Therefore, it is clear that in at least some instances, the angel of the Lord is a theophany, an appearance of God in physical form. The appearances of the angel of the Lord cease after the incarnation of Christ. Angels are mentioned numerous times in the New Testament, but “THE angel of the Lord” is never mentioned in the New Testament. It is possible that appearances of the angel of the Lord were manifestations of Jesus before His incarnation. Jesus declared Himself to be existent “before Abraham” (John 8:58), so it is logical that He would be active and manifest in the world. Whatever the case, whether the angel of the Lord was a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ (Christophany), or an appearance of God the Father (theophany), it is highly likely that the phrase “the angel of the Lord” identifies a physical appearance of God.

496 | did apostles disobey jesus' commission? | Matt 28:19 | stjohn | 214489 | ||
justme, Thanks my friend! :-) I'm aware of these groups, (some say Jesus only and some say Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) but I don't see what the controversy's all about. I sure don't see a problem from Scripture that indicates that we are wrong by baptizing in jesus' name only, or in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe it's the heat of the one being baptized that our Lord sees, and not so much the words being spoken. God bless John |

Sorry cowboy, but you've completely lost me... I have no idea what on Earth or from Scripture you are talking about! Sir, if you have some kind of ax to grind, please do it elsewhere. This is a serious Bible study. Are you a jw or something? John |

cowboy, So how would answer your original question? Apparently you seem to think you have the answer. Are you saying they were disobeying Jesus' command? John |

When Jesus speaks of the Father as His God, He is only doing so in the sense that he is partaking of His human nature -of which he is fully human i.e. one hundred percent man. But this is not to say He is not still one hundred percent God. He is fully man and fully God. Please answer my question: Are you saying that Jesus is not God? |
