If you want to clearly understand Holy Writ then you must rightly divide the scriptures, as revealed to us in 2 Timothy 2:15 and 1 Corinthians 2:1-16. These instructions are for authentically born-again Believers (ABAB) and no one else. -Johann Walter |

4 | With Fear and Trembleing | Ephesians | dispen4ever | 208892 | ||
Doc........ the whole armor of God is Jesus. We put on Jesus. We are inhabited by the Holy Spirit. Quoting you: "If resisting the devil is not based in the complete and ongoing work of every member of our Triune God....." Where in scripture does it say anything else? Where in the article I presented, designed to point out the nature of the whole armor of God, does it say otherwise? It is an example, not a declaration of truth found outside the Bible. | ||||||

Where in that quotation is it indicated that I posted it to promote some intellectual proweress? That is an assumption on your part, not a fact. The quoted information, revised to clarify my point, was taken from http://tinyurl.com/46g2vm. I just completed downloading an updated version of a Greek-Hebrew linear translation. Shall I quote it as a source each time I answer a question such as "did Jesus mean today you'll be with me in paradise, or did he mean someday?" Must I also quote the source of THAT quote? |

It is equally offensive to lay a charge without supporting evidence. I would remind you that at the time of Christ and for centuries thereafter references and direct quotations were the highest form of flattery, well-received by those who read them. There was ZERO intent on my part to plagarize anyone and I resent that inference. I have been a Pastor-Teacher for many years and I quote or refernce others continuously. Please send me a line-by-line detailed list of information that you found plagaristic or offensive. johann.walter1@gmail.com Thanks! :-) |

66 Books, 40 inspired writers, 1500 years, primarily in greater Israel. The header for your study bible should give you the location in which it was written. It was written in Hebrew and Greek, with a few Aremeic portions. | ||||||
11 | Why was the thorn given | 2 Cor 12:7 | dispen4ever | 208871 | ||
No scripture is of private interpretation. 40 men of God wrote 66 books over a period of 1500 years. The NT was written between 37 and 96 a.d. on the not-adjusted calendar. No one who is not being led by the spirit can interpret scripture. Spiritual discernment is absent. See 1 Corinthians 2:1-16. There are similar verses elsewhere (in Timothy, for example). No one can intellectualize or reason-out scripture mentally. It is futile mental gymnastics. Paul could not write well, and he could not speak well. He testifies to this himself. See 2 Corinthians 2:12. Read again 1 Corinthians 2:1-3, and 2 Corinthians 12:7-10. His eyes were impacted by the encounter on the Damascus Road. See Acts 9, Galatians 4:15 and 6:11. What are infirmities? The state of being infirm; feebleness; an imperfection or weakness; esp., an unsound, unhealthy, or debilitated state; a disease; a malady; as, infirmity of body or mind. A personal frailty or failing; foible; eccentricity; a weakness or defect. Synonym: Debility; imbecility; weakness; feebleness; failing; foible; defect; disease; malady; the state of being weak in health or body. In one commentary Paul is said to have been less than 5 feet tall, with over-sized shoulders, and a heavy black beard. His physical appearance was not appealing to those whom he challenged or witnessed to. That would place him shoulder-high to others in the Jewish leadership. He would be looking up to practically everyone he addressed. When he was alone, with his writer, he was filled with spiritual insight, wisdom, understanding, comprehension. He may have been miserably equipped in public, yet God chose him to be His messenger to we non-Jews in his magnificent letters to the church, to individuals, to all of us. I am convinced that he wrote, covertly, the Letter to the Hebrews. Why covertly? They would not have bothered to read it if they knew it was from Paul. The leadership would simply have renounced him and his letter. Sooooo sad. But these are the same guys who rejected their Messiah, Jesus! See my blog, "Spiritually Dividing". His Jewish background was quite extensive and would have called for strict training in matters of the Hebrew religion, see Acts 22:3. I submit that he was more zealous than anyone of that day. He was a Pharisee and the son of a Pharisee, Acts 23:6. He described himself as being of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews, in Philippians 3:5. He was a pupil of Gamaliel, one of the greatest teachers of the Jewish law in his day, again Acts 22:3; Galatians 1:14. He spoke Greek and Hebrew, and is identified by one commentary as being fluent in 5 languages, one of them undoubtedly Aramaic, see Acts 17:28; Titus 1:12. His training distinguished him from all the other apostles by far! His educational background was far superior! He was fitted, by birth, education, and experiences to fill a special place in the Hebrew Nation and, a very special place in the implementation of the church for we non-Jews. Hallelujah! I could go on, but this should suffice. My original post is accurate and unalterable. Blessings upon each of Thee and Thy House! |

I've clarified it 3 times now. Each time I click on "Preview Follow-up" it tells me I can't use a symbol or that I forgot to click note or something else, and when I go back to correct that what I have typed is gone. I'll get to it tomorrow. Studybibleforum needs to fix that glaring error. My responses were long and detailed. Right now it is past my bedtime. Just read 2 Corinthians 12:9 along with my other references. G'Nite. | ||||||

15 | Mathew 5.6 | Matt 5:6 | dispen4ever | 208851 | ||
The Sermon on the Mount and the Messianic Kingdom belong to Israel. Jesus was preparing His disciples for their ministry after His departure. What does the Bible say? Matthew 10:5: "These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." What did He say to the non-Jew Canaanite woman? "I can't give to you dogs (Gentiles) that which belongs to the children" --- "that which" is the promised Messianic Kingdom. The "children" are Israel! Look at Matthew 10:7. "And as ye go, preach, saying, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." He is instructing the 12 apostles who were chosen to announce to Jewish folk that the Messianic Kingdom (of Heaven) was ready to be implemented, then and there. In the Sermon on the Mount and in the Olivet Discourse Jesus is speaking to the 12 Apostles (and the 70 disciples who followed, the "12 plus70") about what will happen to the Jews who hear them. They shall be blessed. They shall be filled. They shall obtain. They shall see God. Each "shall" is future. The Hebrew Nation rejected Him as the Messiah, even after hearing the Good News as brought to them by the 12 plus 70. He died for them anyway, then through Paul sent the Good News to we Gentiles (eventually Peter got the hang of it when the great sheet was lowered). Go read the Pauline Epistles for your duties as a follower of Christ: To honor Him, to worship Him, to invite the Holy Spirit to lead you in paths of righteousness for HIS name's sake!. |

Lest Paul should be "puffed up". Paul was one of the most learned men of his time. He had credentials beyond belief, beyond 5 masters and 5 ph.d's. Paul had a speech impediment, and was unable to write well. No one could accuse him of being "puffed up" in oratory or in his writings! When I preach I preach loud, with a firm voice, as one having authority. I print and write quite well. Paul could do neither of these. His eyesight may have been impacted, as well. See Acts Chapter 9. See also 1 Corinthians 2:3-4a and 2 Corinthians 10:10. |

We "work out" ministries, services, music, preaching, teaching, missionaries, helping the needy, on behalf of our Lord AFTER salvation. In doing so we store up rewards for ourselves in Heaven. We reap what we sew! What a bargain! | ||||||
18 | Who were Jesus' main opponents during Hi | NT general | dispen4ever | 208846 | ||
Read the Book of Matthew. The leadership of the Hebrew nation opposed Him totally. They challenged and criticized Him publicly. They called for his arrest, and eventually his execution. Their denial that He was the promised Messiah resulted in the postponement of the Messianic Kingdom, and the message then going to the Gentiles. See Acts, Chapter 9. | ||||||
19 | about being under the power of demons | Ephesians | dispen4ever | 208845 | ||
http://www.crossroad.to/Victory/Armor.htm If you are a Christian you cannot be possessed or controlled by demonic spirits. James 4:7 says that we are to resist the devil and he will flee. If you are not a Christian, you are in danger of being possessed or controlled by demons. "For we battle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers of darkness." Can you find that scripture reference? Reach for your Bible. Do it as soon as you read this. Blessings!! |

20 | With Fear and Trembleing | Ephesians | dispen4ever | 208841 | ||
http://www.tgm.org/aogWholeArmor.htm Read James 4:7 We cannot possible work out our own salvation. To even try would leave us full of fear and trembling. We rely totally, completely, without exception on God. See John 14:6, John 3:16-17, Romans 10:8-13. Once you have confessed Him as Savior and are following Him as Lord, He is the source of your strength, your stamina, your ability to follow in His footsteps --- you've been saved! Therefore, there is nothing for you to "work out" !!!!! Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!! |
