1 | Why is Jesus addressed as Son of David? | NT general | King T | 240530 | ||
Hi Emma... I had asked an almost similar question some time last week, though I asked it differently. A very learned friend of mine led me to this portion of the Scripture; "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star." Rev 22:16 [KJV]. It worked for me, I hope it works for you too. In short, because He is what they called Him. Much Blessings |

2 | Is Mary anyhow related to King David???? | Luke 3:23 | King T | 240495 | ||
Thank you for your answer Sir. It shook me for a while. It is amazing how I have shot my eyes quickly above the answer that I had so much sought after for so long, without seeing it. The main reason that would have been my follow up Question had for some time become a thorn on my flesh. As for extrapolation, may be I did not accurately express myself, but I prefer to take the Scriptures to mean literally what is contained therein. May be I haven't come across that which is outside my literal adoption yet. Once again thank you so much for the revelation contained in Revelations 22:16. It gives so much peace and comfort - more than you'd ever know I believe. I am thoroughly glad I asked when I did. Much Blessings |

3 | Is Mary anyhow related to King David???? | Luke 3:23 | King T | 240492 | ||
My friend, I am very sorry, but if your intention was to confuse me, you thoroughly succeeded. Just starting from your point/bullet 4, I don't know what you are talking about. May be the English is just too deep for me. I will have to re-read your answer all over again and again. Let me be quick though to point out that the way I see it; our learned Bible Scholars Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset and David Brown were only expressing their opinion just like your College Professor, and just like you and I. Without starting a debate though, I am more interested in express statement from the Bible that supports or traces the lineage of Mary back to King David without ambiguity. Personally I believe esoteric communication is subject to individual interpretation. I could be wrong or just missing some fundamental concept somewhere, but I believe the scripture as contained in the Bible is the infallible Word of God. I don't think it was meant for man's extrapolation [Prov 30:5, 6]. Much Blessings. |

4 | Jesus lineage through Mary!!! | Luke 3:23 | King T | 240490 | ||
Many thanks Jalek! The scripture you just mentioned conflicts Matt 1:16. Matthew writes that Joseph was the son of Jacob - who can be clearly traced back to King Solomon, who God chose over his elder brother Nathan. Luke now talks about Joseph being the son of Eli - who can be traced back to Nathan the legal heir to the Davidic throne I'd say. Both Matthew and Luke talk about the same lineage of Jesus, tracing it back to two different lines of ancestors. How is that possible? Jesus!!! My head is throbbing here... You could have answered my last question in a way by alleging that Luke was referring to Mary though mentioning the head of houses. Suppose I want to believe you, but where in the bible is your assertion documented? I could be missing something here or reading a very misleading bible translation and I desperately need your assistance. Much blessings? |

7 | Can a congragent hear form God ? | Jer 33:3 | King T | 223027 | ||
Kubonga mina Baba! (as in I thank you Sir!) Wonderful salutation from a monoglot! Thank you sir for your explanation and thank you for the invitation to drop you an email. I will gladly do that sir. I believe this post was tailor made just for me... how flattering. It is one the most easily understood from the Doc. Though most of the times a little hard to understand, I love the way you write. Stay in the abundance of His blessings. King T! |

8 | Can a congragent hear form God ? | Jer 33:3 | King T | 223009 | ||
Ha! Ha! Hi Brad, Somebody mentioned the Court Room in one of the responses, thought it was you. Sorry about that. You too are now sounding like Doc. I don't believe it is looking for various mystical methods. It is not even looking for anything at all. It is knowing that God can speak to us anyhow he chooses. Of course we have a foolproof mode of communication in His Word, but to limit His communication with us only to His Word is limiting His Sovereignty, I'd say. Thank you for Speaking the Truth in Love, and keep on enlightening us. Stay blessed, King T! |

9 | Can a congragent hear form God ? | Jer 33:3 | King T | 223003 | ||
Dearest Doc, At least I assume it will be day by the time you read my post. I tried following your response, and unfortunately could not follow your input. I trust the question is whether a member of the congregation can hear from God. Are you therefore saying the Scriptures, is the only way of hearing from God to avoid false prophets? At some instance in the Bible, God caused a donkey to speak to Balaam. (Numbers 22:28). God can use any medium He so desires to talk to His people. He communicated in visions and through angels, I don't see why He would have changed. He talked directly to His people; God still talks to us directly. If I may borrow Bro. Brad's analogy of the Court Room, the Judge can still talk directly to the defendant though the mediator may choose to answer for the defendant. You mentioned that "...but all those other things are nothing but shifting sand." Which other things are you referring to here now sir? Are you saying God speaking to one directly is shifting sand? My dearest Doc, could it be this is one of those your hard to understand posts? I have read this over and over for some time now, but I still can't figure out what it is that I'd be missing if at all any. Can you kindly explain further sir. I know some may have understood you, but there are others like me who have a challenge of understanding your answer sir. Thank you, King T! |

10 | does this mean a person is unforgiven | NT general | King T | 223002 | ||
Hi Doc, Been away in the farm. Setting up some project somewhere out in the bush and far from the internet. Judging by the number of years in your field, I'm truly humbled. I know we are Christian now, but in my "culture" it is disallowed to speak up to an elder like I did, even when one thinks he is right. Anyway for the common good of the Gospel, disagreements are inevitable. I hope I did not sound disrespectful in any way. Well, I speak several languages grouped into two; that is, Zulu, Xhosa, Siswati and Sindebe - grouped as Nguni, and Setswana (Tswana) and Sesotho (Sotho) - grouped as Sotho-Tswana. These are grouped according to their similarities. Of course there are several others that I understand and speak though not with fluency. English will be my third after the two group categories. Of course I am in Southern Africa and a farmer. Thank you for asking and sorry for the delayed response. I see you had been extremely busy in the forum. May the good Lord richly bless you with abundance for all the good work that you are rendering to His flock. Stay blessed, King T! |

11 | man stoned for getting wood on sunday ? | Num 15:32 | King T | 222784 | ||
St. John The question asked was "...man stoned for getting wood on sunday", but the Bible says on a Sabbath day and not a Sunday. I was only pointing out the variations in days between the question and the answer Sir. The Bible does not say that for argument sake, but still there are arguments on the understandings of the Sabbath day. Ha! The exclamation is more in the saying. I will find the best way to express it in English and I will definitely get back to you. Stay blessed, King T! |

12 | man stoned for getting wood on sunday ? | Num 15:32 | King T | 222782 | ||
Numbers 15:32-36. Well there have been several arguments about the Sabbath day, but the Bible does not exactly say whether it was a Sunday, but it says on a Sabbath day or on a Worship day. At least the KJV and GW uses those words respectively. The AMP and NASB uses Sabbath day. Stay blessed, King T! |

Hi Doc, Been away from the internet for some time. I got the SEC as you suggested and I did look up G1318 - didaktos, G1319 - didaskalia, G1320 - didaskalos and G1321 - didasko. Thanks man, and may I ask what you do, as in your profession. I know this is a Bible study forum, but I just got curious. I hope I am not being too personal, and I will understand should you choose to answer this question. Stay blessed, King T! |

14 | does god have tattoos | John 20:25 | King T | 222700 | ||
Hi Doc, Your answer is so short, so sweet and so full of revelation. I followed your answer from the asked question, and my God! It reminds me of an incident in Matthew 16:13-17, and like Jesus I'd say flesh and blood could not reveal that to you, but the Spirit of the Living God. I want to thank you in person for this answer. It got me thinking. Stay blessed, King T! |

P.S. Galatians 3:24-25 (NIV) "So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law." Galatians 3:24-25 (NLT) "Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith. And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian." Thank God for the NIV and NLT Bibles. King T! |

16 | Can a Christian go to Night Clubs | 2 Cor 6:14 | King T | 222670 | ||
Ha! Ha! 2 Corinthians 6:14 (KJV) "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" Amos 3:3 (KJV) "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" That I'd say is the shorter answer to your question. Stay blessed, King T! |

My Dearly Beloved Doc, I still maintain that these decrees are based on man's interpretation of the Word of God. They may be old and are a commonly held by the Church, but still they were derived by man from the Bible based on man's understanding of the Scripture. When I first read your response (at a glance that is), I almost chose to let this issue to just “die”. I thought we weren't going anywhere with this discussion. I also thought I needed to seek for more revelation and direction on how best to express myself on the subject, but on second thought, I think it is not a question of my expressing myself. I think this is just a wonderful discussion worth exploring further. Also, your current response does not show anything to make me think you misunderstood me. If I may say it myself, I must be doing fairly well expressing myself. Back to the subject, it is however good that the law was written, according to Romans 15:4 (KJV) "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope." Reading another book in alongside what Paul just said to the Romans, "But certain individuals have missed the mark on this very matter [and] have wandered away into vain arguments and discussions and purposeless talk. They are ambitious to be doctors of the Law (teachers of the Mosaic ritual), but they have no understanding either of the words and terms they use or of the subjects about which they make [such] dogmatic assertions. Now we recognize and know that the Law is good if anyone uses it lawfully [for the purpose for which it was designed], Knowing and understanding this: that the Law is not enacted for the righteous (the upright and just, who are in right standing with God), but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinful, for the irreverent and profane, for those who strike and beat and [even] murder fathers and strike and beat and [even] murder mothers, for manslayers,[For] impure and immoral persons, those who abuse themselves with men, kidnapers, liars, perjurers - and whatever else is opposed to wholesome teaching and sound doctrine as laid down by the glorious Gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted." 1Timothy 1:6-11 (AMP). In 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV) "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." Going by what Paul said both in 1Timothy 1:6-11 and 2 Corinthians 5:17, the Christian is not under the law. The law was never intended for the new man in Christ and I still maintain that. Westminster Confession of Faith Chapter 1, Paragraphs 6 and 10: I more than agree with the West Ministers that we need the Holy Spirit in our understanding of the Bible; you can call me one of the West Ministers in that regard. I still prefer to go by the Bible though and I still maintain that these are good scholarly man made "documents". My dictionary defines a doctrine as a set of beliefs or principles held and taught by a Church, political party, or other group. I wonder why you don't want me to refer to these man made “documents” as man made doctrines. They may be derived from the Bible, but they are still derived based on man’s own understanding and interpretation of the Bible. From where I stand, they are man made doctrines. Kindly shed in more light why they are not man made doctrines. Thank you for being such an excellent teacher, unfortunately I have to disagree with you on the law. Stay so blessed, King T! |

Thanks Brad, Yes! Doc is so deep and well read. He referred me to some materials that I never thought existed or thought I'd read. To be honest, I can't take my mind off the materials. He indeed challenged me and I am glad I joined this forum. I keep on checking the posts for an input from the Doc. I more than respect him. I greatly appreciate his and your "pat on the back". Honestly, if he were to break down the English, I sure will miss him. Hei Doc, Don't change the English. Keep me running for the dictionary, before long you'd have assisted in improving my communication. Thank you all, King T! |

Dude, the only time I have to speak or write English is when I communicate to someone who does not speak my vernacular. I don't like having to always refer to the dictionary to understand. Next time, please use simpler English - less of these big words. | ||||||

P.S. Doc, 1. Thirty-Nine Articles, Article 12 - Of Good Works, 2. Westminster Confession of Faith Chapter 16 - Of Good Works, 3. Second Helvetic Confession, Chapter 16, Paragraph 4 - Concerning Good Works, 4. Waldensian Confessions of Faith, Article 20 - 23, Hey Doc, I could not get this one. Give me a link please, but I trust it is more on good works. I am not inviting for a sermon on this very particular statement, but my curiosity got the better of me. To understand you better, I had to read what you recommended. I trust you misunderstood me - I never asserted that works can amount to a trophy before God. However, where we strongly vary is on the law. Unfortunately, I cannot refer you to any scholarly material like you referred me. All I have is the Bible - the same scripture that you have but it seems we vary in our interpretation. There is no harm to it now, we will eventually come to a common understanding. Well, you really kept me occupied, now I have to go back to my Bible. I really love this forum. Stay blessed, King T! |
