1 | Jesus is always the same | Bible general Archive 2 | CiY127 | 137032 | ||
Change how? He was alive, he died, he was resurected. That's some pretty major changes. However in all things he always did the will of the Father, that is unchanging. His earthly ministry was to Israel, his current "ministry" is as an intecessor for the saints. His function to earth has changed, but in all things he still does the will of his Father. God is love, God is light and in Him is no darkness at all, God is spirit, God is a just God, He cares for the world, He cannot lie and His ways are not our ways. In all this God does not change, but how God deals with man changes...He gave one commandment to man in the garden, He gave a different commandment to Moses, He has given the Body the ministry of reconciliation, But He is still a loving, just, pure light spirit, Father to all who believe. |

2 | Eph 2:20 "You are like a building..." | NT general Archive 1 | CiY127 | 136982 | ||
In an article: "What Is An Apostle?" Dan Gallagher writes: "In Chapter 4 of Ephesians, Paul lists what have been called the five “ascension” or “gift” ministries. The first ministry listed is that of an apostle, followed by the other ministries of prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. Paul goes on to tell us that Jesus has given these ministries to the Church to prepare God’s people for works of service and to build up the Body of Christ. He states that these ministries are here “until we all reach unity in faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ (Eph. 4:13b).” Because these functions have not yet been completed, it is logical to conclude that we should still see all five ministries present and functioning in the Church. It is not sound thinking to recognize the value of four of the gift ministries (prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers) but fail to acknowledge the Church’s need for apostles. I believe that a large portion of the problem lies with the fact that we do not really know what an apostle is; after all, it is hardly a word we use in our everyday vocabulary." "The apostle’s central purpose is to be a spiritual builder. His charge is to build community, which he does by bringing unity and balance to the mix. Paul says: “My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love…” (Col. 2:2). This is a community agenda. With all of the ministries demonstrating specialized aspects of Christ’s own character, the apostle represents the Lord’s heart to keep them balanced, working together to build spiritual communities." "Apostles move beyond planting and go into the building stages. One of the ways they do this is by bringing focus and purpose to the community of believers. Paul’s writings never stray far from his purpose, which was to encourage the saints’ hearts, uniting them in love with a view toward his ultimate goal that they would have complete experiential understanding concerning the Secret. In fact, Paul mentions an aspect of the Secret in every one of the Church Epistles. His entire life focused around the Secret, and all of his various purpose statements reinforced his vision. Like Paul, apostles must never lose their focus on unity in the one Body; it is their very purpose." |

3 | Mark 14:1 1 It was now two days before | John | CiY127 | 136961 | ||
just a slight correction, Jn 12:1 isn't a record of eating passover, it is a record of eating with Lazarus. Jesus' ministry begain at 30 and he died at 33. He fulfilled the law which means he always kept the passover. Each time he ate the passover may not be recorded for as John 21:25 says "and there are many other things which Jesus did, the which if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written." Many biblical scholars would say that he ate the passover 3 times after his baptism (depending on whether he was baptised before passover in his 30th year) He would have eaten the passover at 30, 31, and 32. |

4 | the sin that does not lead to death is ? | 1 John 5:16 | CiY127 | 136911 | ||
Matthew 13 24. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28. He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29. But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. 31. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: 32. Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. 33. Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. 34. All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: 35. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. 36. Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 37. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38. The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one [becoming a child of the wicked one is the sin unto death]; 39. The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42. And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. |

My definition is based on a couple of sources but mostly comes from George M. Lamsa, a well-known Aramaic scholar, whose native tongue was Aramaic, who translated the Bible from the Peshitta Aramaic text into English. |

Basically because God knew Abraham would believe. Nehemiah 9:8 And foundest his heart faithful before thee… Galatians 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. |

10 | God created Jesus? | Matt 14:30 | CiY127 | 136844 | ||
I recognize your position now and will no longer post to this subject for nothing I can show you would change your position and there are many sites already dealing with the trinity. Yes I still insist that God created Jesus. For I do not hold the belief that these verses you have stated point to Christ as a part of a triune God. I did not confuse incarnation with creation, and I will not debate the deity of Christ. It is not an anti-scriptual position, it is a position based upon a rightly-divided Word. | ||||||
11 | God created Jesus? | Matt 14:30 | CiY127 | 136839 | ||
Matt 1:18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost Luke 1:26And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. 30And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 36And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. 37For with God nothing shall be impossible. 38And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. So just how did the babe Jesus get in Mary's womb, was it a magician's trick? Logic dictates that something was created in Mary's womb, the seed for impregnation, the embryo itself, etc. If you do not believe that Christ was created, then give book chapter and verse to prove it. |

Christ chose 12 apostles from among the disciples. And using the same logic they were all Jews so does that mean apostles can only be Jews? And what about all the women in Romans 16, were they just kitchen maids? | ||||||

Consider the following scriptures: John 10:30; John 12:27; John 16:32. By His very nature, our heavenly Father could not turn away from His only begotten Son, especially at the moment for which God has been preparing him all of his life. Jesus Christ was the one who trusted his Father step by step all the way to this defining moment of His-story. And then God forsook him? That just doesn't make sense. More importantly, it is not what the Bible says. Many Bible commentators and teachers have promoted the idea that Jesus became sin for us and therefore the holy God had to forsake him because God cannot stand sin. It is significant that the First Adam did sin—royally—and yet God did not forsake him. Cain sinned, and God did not forsake him either. The truth is that God has never forsaken His people because of their sin, so why would He do so with His own Son? And so, when we read Matthew 27:46—“Why have you forsaken me?”—we must ask ourselves if we really understand what Jesus said and why. Without going into depth about the Aramaic words Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani, suffice it to say that Eloi means “My God,” lama means “why,” and the root word shabak, while usually translated “forsake,” is also translated “kept” or “reserved.” Thus, the context is important to determine its meaning. Jesus was quoting from Psalm 22, verse 1, not in a cry of despair at being forsaken by God, but rather a cry of proclamation to those Jews gathered at Golgotha that what was taking place before their eyes was the fulfillment of Messianic prophecy, and that he really was who he said he was. But before we go to Psalm 22, let us consider two other verses regarding the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy in the crucifixion of Jesus: John l9:24b; Matthew 27:41-43. Keep that in mind that Jesus repeatedly referred to Old Testament prophecies to substantiate that he was the Messiah to Israel, and, you will want to follow along in your own Bible, at Psalm 22, since for space restrictions, I can’t put in the whole text. Remember that Jesus had been beaten and tortured and that he was covered with blood, no doubt many of those gathered around were people Jesus had healed, people who believed, or at least hoped, that he was the promised Messiah. What did that horrible sight on the center cross do? It assaulted their faith. Don't you think that what they saw happening might have caused them to doubt whether or not all Jesus had said was true? And so, as his manner was, Jesus Christ reached for their hearts with God's Word. He did so by quoting a section that they all knew, one that vividly sets forth that which was being enacted right in front of their eyes. He spoke to comfort those who believed on him, and at the same time gave those who did not believe, including those who were crucifying him, one more opportunity to believe that he was who he said he was—the Son of God, the Messiah. Have you ever wondered why Psalm 23 is so well known, but not Psalm 79, for example, or 32 or 57? One of the reasons is that Psalms 22, 23 and 24 form what you might call a “Messianic Trilogy,” one that virtually every Israelite knew by heart. Keep that in mind as we look at Psalm 22. Psalm 22:1 - As we read on, we will see that these are basically rhetorical questions, because after verse 18 the theme of the psalm changes radically from death unto life. Psalm 22:7 and 8: - Didn't we read something like that in Matthew 27:41-43? Yes, that very prophecy was unfolding right in front of their eyes, and Jesus was trying to call their attention to it. Psalm 22:16-18: - the Jews referred to uncircumcised people like the Romans as “dogs.” People spit on him, taunted him, and gloated over him. “They divide my garments among and cast lots for my clothing.” This could not more clearly describe what later happened at Golgotha in fulfillment of this prophecy. And it is at this point that the thrust of Psalm 22 begins to shift from death unto life, and then verse 24 indicates that God had not forsaken him! Psalm 22:24: For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. Psalm 22:31: - The last clause of verse 31 should be translated a bit differently. In the KJV you can see that the word “it” is in italics, indicating that the translators added it. The pronoun “he” should be “it,” so that the psalm closes with the words, "for it is finished." Jesus quoted the very first clause and the very last clause of a section of Scripture that they knew very, very well. With his dying breaths he affirmed one more time that he was who the Word of God said he was—the Messiah, the Son of the living God, the Redeemer of Israel and all who in the future would believe on him. |

19 | Didn't ALL things come from God, evil to | 1 John 1:5 | CiY127 | 136800 | ||
So did God create the automobile? the airplane, the computer, the internet? These things were concieved of and implemented by man, a creation of God. Evil was concieved of and implemented by Satan in his rebellion against God. Does evil come from God just because He created Satan? No more that an automobile, plane, computer or the internet comes from God just because He created man. | ||||||
20 | Is the grace the Holy Spirit? | Eph 2:8 | CiY127 | 136792 | ||
Grace is undeserved divine favor, in other words, a gift from God. ie. For by grace you are saved through believing; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Once you are born again, you are sealed by God, who is spirit and is holy, the Holy Spirit. His gift to every born again believer is holy spirit with in. The light is God...This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. (1 John 1:5) Hope this helps. Agape, CiY |
