I don't think my list is complete -God spoke as He inspired Bible writers (2Pe 1:21) -God spoke as to Old Testament Prophets (Heb 1:1) Also, Aaron and Miriam in Numbers 12. While Miriam did claim the Lord spoke through her, I cannot find it in the Bible. Again, this list may not be complete. Searcher |

5 | First resurrection happens twice | Rev 20:5 | Searcher56 | 239271 | ||
Good Lord's day to you Ed O, On your final comment ... "Now we can play around much with the meaning of words but I hardly believe that God wanted us to become Greek scholars. Sometimes it's better for us to be less intellectual and rely on common sense wouldn't you think so?" I am not a Greek (or Hebrew) scholar, but I do look up the English words in the original ... even if all the translations agree ... if I want to learn more. Both times the word in this verse, the Greek is tereo which is translated in the KJV : keep (57x), reserve (8x), observe (4x), watch (2x), preserve (2x), keeper (1x), hold fast (1x). Moreover ... just in this verse I read "you have kept the word" and "will keep you from" ... so even with that it is hard for me to think we will be taken out of the tribulation. On "rely on common sense" ... what is your basis? Even if you have studied the three views, it could be clouded by what someone else has said. My theology has changed in several areas ... sometimes when I hear something new or when I am meditating on the Word and I have a "wait a minute" prompting. Either way I investigate Scripture. When He comes relative to the tribulation is a minor point and should not divide us. The major point is that He is coming ... quickly ... in the next century or so. S |

6 | Preach the Word | 2 Tim 4:2 | Searcher56 | 239268 | ||
Greetings Doc, Why to "preachers" TALK about a portion of Scripture with no meat ... or just try to tickle the ears? Methinks some do for their own self and wanting a higher position in the denomination. They even do TOO MANY things outside the church. I am talking about my pastor. |

7 | what is the church's responsibilities t | Heb 10:25 | Searcher56 | 239259 | ||
Greetings Doc and justme, It is even worse in some Baptist churches, the number who attend Sunday night is less than the morning and midweek is even less. Sometimes Sunday School is less than the main service. Most people do no service ... even do not know their spiritual gift, some do not care, S |

8 | Who is the Bride of the Lamb? | Rev 19:9 | Searcher56 | 239258 | ||
Doc In 2 Corinthians 11:2 is Paul himself being joined (harmozo) to the Corinthian church, not about being about to be married. It is not about Christ being betrothed (joined) to the church. . In Ephesians 5, I already pointed out that is a problem. The woman is under the head of her father and being subject to him during the betrothal period. The verbs here are in the present tense and in Revelation are in the future. In Ephesians 5 it is to show the comparison of the role of the husband-wife and Christ-church … but not about His being married or betrothed to the church. That is carrying the metaphor too far. Another metaphor is John says that the bride of the Lamb is New Jerusalem (Rev 21:2). I now believe we believers of all time are the invited guests and I will let God tell us who the bride is. S |

9 | First resurrection happens twice | Rev 20:5 | Searcher56 | 239255 | ||
EdB, I am using Steve Gregg's book. Before I started I looked at the choices I had and thought his was the best. He is very fair, because he just presents the views without much or any commentary. I have also secured resources for each view, to see if I can add anything. When I present views, I research secular sources to see if what is said is true. I present the views with my research ... then we discuss what the text says im an inductive method. S |

10 | Who is the Bride of the Lamb? | Rev 19:9 | Searcher56 | 239254 | ||
Doc, I understand the use and misuse of metaphors. That was not my point. I have been taught the metaphor of the "bride of the Lamb", is the church. In my current study, it didn't make sense. I looked at all Scripture to see what it says. What that who do you believe the metaphor "bride of the Lamb" is ... and why? S |

11 | First resurrection happens twice | Rev 20:5 | Searcher56 | 239246 | ||
Greetings in our Lord, Beja and Ed O, I am teaching the book of Revelation in Sunday School. I am presenting all views: Tribulation: Pre Mid Post and others Millennium: Premillennial, Postmillennial, Amillennial Timing: Preterist, Historicist, Futurist and Spiritualist I usually don't give my side. On this matter is the rapture concurrent with the resurrection? If not which happens first? Jesus was resurrected first, then went to heaven. Here we have a select group of saints being resurrected ... and have not gone to heaven. Searcher |

12 | Who is the Bride of the Lamb? | Rev 19:9 | Searcher56 | 239245 | ||
I have heard that the bride of the Lamb is the church citing Ephesians 5:22-33. However, I read about the headship (Christ/church : husband/wife (vs 23)), being subject (church-Christ : wife-husband (v 24)) love (husband-wife : Christ-church (vv25ff)). Even if the church is His wife, the verb tenses are not future, as we read here in Revelation (19:9, 21:2, 21:9, 22:17). Until the wedding, aka during the betrothal period, the woman was under the headship and roof of her father. In 21:2 it is clear that His future bride is New Jerusalem. Moreover, who are the invited (vs 9)? If the bride, or woman is the church, I read that the invited are OT saints (as well as the tribulation saints, if one is pre trib (or even mid trib). I have a hard time thinking that we are not all one body, no matter when we believe. If the bride is the church, what will happen to the invitees? |

13 | scripture on the rapture of the church | Rev 20:5 | Searcher56 | 239244 | ||
Ed O ... "keep you from" could mean "preservation from or in the midst of" In John 17:15, we read Jesus prayed, I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one." Searcher |

14 | End time right will seem wrong.... | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 237949 | ||
Isaiah 5:20 is not about the end times but says Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! |

15 | How can Jews accept the Christs divinity | John 1:1 | Searcher56 | 233873 | ||
you, I suggest you talk with a Messianic Jew ... how they has a change in heart. Also, study Paul's life. Searcher | ||||||
16 | Why evangelize according to Jer 31:34? | Jer 31:34 | Searcher56 | 233872 | ||
God's day to you, As you probably know, taking a verse, verses, even a whole section without knowing the rest of the Bible is dangerous. We also do not know what the original readers/listeners knew/understood. As I study/teach Revelation, there are many unanswered questions ... I see it here as well. Searcher |
||||||
17 | How can Jews accept the Christs divinity | John 1:1 | Searcher56 | 233866 | ||
you, The Shema is part of the Shema Yisrael (Deu 6:4–9, 11:13-21; Num 15:37–41). One would iim. conclude there is one God - no Trinity. However, Genesis 1:26 points there is a Trinity - Let us and God is Elohim. What do you think? Searcher |
||||||
18 | Why evangelize according to Jer 31:34? | Jer 31:34 | Searcher56 | 233865 | ||
you, Your third question is "Where does it say here that a sacrifice is needed for God to forgive?" In the OT animal sacrifices were required (Lev 4:35, 5:10) ... Hebrews 9:22. Our Lord Jesus Christ is/was the ultimate and final sacrifice once for all (Heb 7:27). Hebrews 10:14-18 says there is no longer a need for sacrifice once sins are forgiven. Notice the relation of this passage to all 3 questions. What do you think, Searcher |
||||||
19 | Why evangelize according to Jer 31:34? | Jer 31:34 | Searcher56 | 233863 | ||
you, Your second question is "This covenant sounds like it is only for Jews. If the law is written on the heart is it the same law?" Verse 33 does indicate it is for the house of Israel only. Some say we Gentiles are grafted in (Rom 11), but IMHO I'd be careful to include the promises of Israel ... and if one does, one must include the consequences. No picking and choosing. Hebrews 8:11 has a related promise, which includes all, IMHO. What do you think, Searcher |
||||||
20 | Why evangelize according to Jer 31:34? | Jer 31:34 | Searcher56 | 233862 | ||
you ... If the New Covenant is like Jeremiah described why is there a need for evangelization? ... Because it does not say the neighbor lives next door, or even in the same city. Remember the parable in Luke 10:29ff? ... Also, people will still need to hear (Rom 10:8-18)? What do you think? Searcher |
