1 | Temple Desecration ? Jews ? swine ? | Daniel | Jensen | 48919 | ||
Dear CoolRob....I searched the NIV and found that "Desecration" does not appear in the text, "Jew" or "Jews" appear(s) 255 times, "swine" does not appear in the text. Pig or Pigs appear 19 times though. And we know of temple desecration, it's just that the words are not used, at least in the NIV. God Bless....Jensen |

2 | Cain and Seth's wives descended from who | Genesis | Jensen | 45703 | ||
Dear Sctt....Thanks for your quick reply. You avoid the central issue by setting up a straw man that you knock down with ease. But here is the nut of my note.... "You (scott)deny that Adam and Eve were the first humans and that from them (and them alone)came all mankind." Just simply declare that you do not believe that the Bible is true in all that it says. That way Forum members can discuss the issues that you raise. You can not have it both ways as many Christian liberals would like. Either the Bible is true OR it is not. Since the Bible is plain in teaching the Origins of Humankind, you can beg to disagree. But please stop dancing - defend your beliefs with Scripture or turn about. Think about it. The only defense of your beliefs is secular. And those arguments fall each day as science uncovers and supports His intelligent design. God Bless....Jensen |

3 | Cain and Seth's wives descended from who | Genesis | Jensen | 45555 | ||
Dear sctt....I have been following this thread with some interest. Please try to avoid "dueling scriptures" since no one is rebuking you anyhow. You deny that Adam and Eve were the first humans and that from them came all mankind. There also was a time when God instructed men to eat no pork and Peter had a heck of a time after/at his vision. Did God not change His "rules"? Do not put God in a box. Before Leviticus there was no such "sin" as incest. The Bible, OT to NT, is replete with the things God changed. Shall we offer animals as a sacrifice or did Jesus make animal sacrifice obsolete? A new covenant means new. HEB 7:18 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless 19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God." What you call incest (and a sin) was introduced just as other things were set aside. God Bless....Jensen |

4 | What was verse is the covenant | Heb 7:22 | Jensen | 45554 | ||
Dear Controlling...Welcome to the Forum :-) The word "covenant" is used 271 times in the Bible. Thats a lot of verses. Can you narrow your question, perhaps be a bit more specific. What is it you want to know? If you can tell the Forum a little more detail you will be helped. However, Hebrews 7:22 has one of my favorite uses of the word:-) God Bless....Jensen |

5 | the greek meanin of the word hiss | Ezek 27:36 | Jensen | 45552 | ||
Dear Debbie...Welcome to the Forum :-) This word is a Hebrew word (OT) not Greek. In Hebrew this word appears 12 times in the Bible. Seven times it means "scoff", One time it means "hiss", one time it means "hisses", one time it means "signal", one time it means "whistle", and one time it is translated as "whistles." In the verse you give it may be understood possibly as "scoff" but look at Jer 46:22 where it can only mean hiss as a snake hisses. The hiss is a sound of a snake of course. I hope this helps and we all look forward to hearing from you again. God Bless....Jensen |

6 | Why was Stephen Stoned? | Acts 6:14 | Jensen | 45550 | ||
Dear Sercher...Welcome to the Forum Acts 6:14 "For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs Moses handed down to us." The Law became obsolete for salvation purposes. Stephen preached that Jesus paid all with His death on the Cross. These Freedman preferred the Law. After all, they could and did add to it and could and did subtract from it and, therefore, to some degree control the people. God Bless....Jensen PS. The same goes on today in Christian churches. |

8 | Ex-Mormons turned Born Again? | Eph 5:23 | Jensen | 44394 | ||
Dear DD1961…… You knowingly marry a man who denies Jesus is Lord and you now want help to convince him of his error? Why would he listen to you? Are you now a practicing Christian? Does he look to you as a role model? Does he see a difference between you and the rest of the world? If you are still blaming your present situation on your past husband than he has no model to follow. You are responsible for your current situation, not your past husband. You admitted as much with your adultery story. Live the Christian life from this day forward and your Mormon husband may want what you have. It is far more likely, however, that he will convince you of errors in your Christian beliefs. EPH 5:23 Should give some pause. "For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. You must study the Bible and the Book of Mormon to show him how his own Book is dead wrong. I suggest you visit the equip.org web site. God Bless….Jensen |

9 | WILL FAMILY ACCEPT MORMON SPOUSE | Acts 1:1 | Jensen | 44390 | ||
Dear Brethren... The first Christians were not "socialist" for selling all they had. They expected the return of Jesus to be immeadiate and many did not want to leave the city. They had no way of providing for themselves and so we had "Charity" or Christian Love not socialism as it is understood. Socialism, like Communism, puts the state at the center of the universe, above man and a diminishing God. God Bless....Jensen |

10 | Beware of lawyers,card readers | Deut 18:9 | Jensen | 44388 | ||
Dear meinzer.....I found nothing that says to "beware of lawyers" but this passage concerns "spiritist" which is akin to a "card reader." DT 18:9 When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. 10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. God Bless....Jensen |

11 | Israel-powerful nation-end days-where? | Mic 5:3 | Jensen | 44385 | ||
Dear Kari Bohag....The middle east country that is today called Israel is a political state fashioned by men. God has not yet called for Israel to return from all the far off places of this world. This is exactly why there will be no peace, ever, in this political state. Even the leaders of this country do not consider themselves particularly "religious" because they are not of God. They are the liars and the deceivers of men and nations. This is not the Israel of God. There is no contemporary proof that it is. I can sleep in the garage all night but in the morning I will not be a Buick. God Bless....Jensen |

12 | what does the scripture 1 Thes 4:16 mean | Phil 1:23 | Jensen | 44380 | ||
Dear Muffy….Perhaps an analogy would help to understand this passage. You and your friends all decide to go to a ball game. As you enter the arena an usher gives each of you a ticket for a drawing that will be held at the end of the game for a great prize. None of you have been taught that all the tickets are winning tickets. But as the game goes on and on, some of your friends get tired and leave the arena. But, you worry, what of their drawing tickets? Can they still win even though they are not present? That is the question that is put to Paul by these Christians. Paul writes to the Thessalonians to assure them about their friends and family who die before the parousia, or rapture. These Christians, like Paul, looked forward to the rapture within their lifetimes and were worried that they would miss the victory and glory of the Lord’s return if they died first. However if we die first what matter is it really? Our “tickets” are not only still good, but we will rise first to meet the Lord. Note that Paul never set a date for this cosmic event yet he certainly wanted it sooner rather than later. The Thessalonians, like all Christians today, do not need to worry. One way or another, we will be there with our bodies to see the victory. Praise God. God Bless….Jensen |

13 | Predestination | Eph 1:4 | Jensen | 42347 | ||
Dear John...Thanks...I think I may be confusing predestination with election. Please tell me which statement would best describe your belief. 1)God knows before we are born the free choices that each man will make during his lifetime. Or 2)God, through His Holy Spirit, directs (not prompts)a man to choose Christ making him an elected. You may see my confusion :-) God Bless....Jensen |

14 | Predestination | Eph 1:4 | Jensen | 42344 | ||
Dear Joe...Thanks...I am finding this one a bit sticky and I know I came to the discussion late. So.....Which is it?...1)God foreordains a man to come to Christ and he does. Or 2)A man chooses to come to Christ and God knew that he would. Do you see my confusion? I am trying to reconcile predestination and freewill. I can't seem to do it (understand the scripture?) God Bless....Jensen |

15 | Predestination | Eph 1:4 | Jensen | 41796 | ||
Dear John....Thanks for your quick reply. Just like the fat man said when he crawled under the barb wire fence "Just one more point and I will be through" God does not react to what He discovers in the book (analogy.) He is a Player also. And He knows what each little part will be played out. OR you may not believe, as I do, that God knows what the final outcome will be. I can not argue predestination because I deny it's existance....as understood by our contemporaries. And here is why. Predestination eliminates any chance at all that we come to Christ freely since Predestination would be a plan for our lives. Just like the machines we invent. A lawnmower will always be a lawnmower. The lawnmower is predestined. It will never make the choice to be a hedgetrimmer. Predestination does not exist, can't, never will. OR freewill does not exist, can't, never will. I go with the former :-) It just makes sense to me. God Bless....Jensen |
||||||
16 | Predestination | Eph 1:4 | Jensen | 41787 | ||
Dear John...I am sorry that you missed the point. I agree with everything you wrote. The analogy works. Predestination, as understood by contemporary sinners, does not work. God knows what we will choose. He knows when He will offer His Gift to us. He knows our hearts, He knows when we will come to the final challenge of death, and if we will be with Him or not. He knows all this prior to our natural birth. Prior to our life being played out by us. I hope I have been a little more clear on this point. We have no disagreement on theology that I am aware of. You implied that I was irreverent. But God is the Author of life, and not, as you say, "a mere reader" and I never implied that. That is why I began with stating that to understand predestination, an analogy might help. I mean no disrespect. Chill :-) God Bless....Jensen |

17 | Predestination | Eph 1:4 | Jensen | 41671 | ||
Dear New Creature.... Predestination, to be properly understood, is best described by analogy. Let me offer this. If I begin to read a book but do not want to read the whole book...say a murder mystery...and I want to know who the murderer is, I would turn to the last chapter. Then, also in the later chapters I would know what the various characters did, or did not do. I can know the outcome of each character without starting in the beginning of the book and going, page by page, through the whole book. I am outside of the time frame of the book. I can look at any part of the book and know, without writing anything new in the book, the actions of each character. Likewise, God is outside of our time frame. He knows what we will do because He can "read" any part of my life, like a book character. But that does not mean that God made us come to Christ. The opposite is true. If predestination is true then there is no freewill. God Bless….Jensen |

18 | What are the names of Jesus' sisters. | Bible general Archive 1 | Jensen | 41669 | ||
Dear Jules....I do not know the names but....Matt 13:55 "Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother's name Mary, and aren't his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56 Aren't all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?" Jesus had brothers AND sisters. God Bless....Jensen |

19 | Please disprove rapture theory!? | Bible general Archive 1 | Jensen | 41668 | ||
PERSONAL NOTE TO Conlan....I noticed that you asked 11 questions in 43 minutes. Some of the questions are answered rather easily by reading the Bible text. I was just curious if you are currently involved in a Bible study where you have asked all the questions on the Forum and decided not to do your own study. You would not be the first to do so. But the study itself is the reward of the study. But if you are simply eager with questions then you have come to right place :-) God Bless....Jensen |

20 | who was Simon of Cyrene | Mark 15:21 | Jensen | 41663 | ||
Dear Prayon...You Wrote.. "If simon was at first forced to become personally involved in the physical cross of Jesus, it appears later that he chose to take on the spiritual meaning of the cross for himself." I looked to confirm what you wrote but came up short. Could you possibly be confusing this Cyrene with another Simon? Clarification puposes only my friend. God Bless....Jensen |
