That I agree with. Mark |

2 | 3rd or 4th temple Zechariah 6:12-13 | John 2:18 | savedsince1980 | 217936 | ||
Please read John 2:18-21. The third temple was the body of the Lord, Jesus Christ, himself. Also, please read all of Ezekial chapter 11, where the glory of the Lord departs from the temple (v. 23.) The temple of God is the place where the glory (or Spirit) dwells. Today that is the body of believers, not some building in Jerusalem. You are under a general misconception altogether. Forget buildings made of stone or wood and think "body of Christ," where the Spirit dwells today. | ||||||
3 | Is Desiderata in the Bible? | Romans | savedsince1980 | 217934 | ||
It's amazing how many people think certain sayings like "God helps him who helps himself" are in the bible. It speaks of a general illiteracy and non-desire to really know the bible. Yeah, "kids" don't know a whole lot yet. | ||||||

You believe the Latin Vulgate? That translation is based upon the defective Alexandrian manuscripts. | ||||||
5 | Why does Jesus have mercy on Demons? | Mark 5:13 | savedsince1980 | 217914 | ||
That's why I said "in my opinion." It's a qualifier that makes it clear that I am not quoting a scripture, kind of like what the Apostle Paul wrote "But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment." (1 Cor. 7:6.) He was expressing his opinion that unmarried people should remain unmarried. How often do you hear that preached in church? But, it was after all just his opinion, not the word of the Lord. | ||||||
6 | Why does Jesus have mercy on Demons? | Mark 5:13 | savedsince1980 | 217910 | ||
God's day to you also. In my opinion, each of the gospel accounts is in chronological order within itself. To see how they relate to each other you have use a chronological bible or at least a chronological gospel harmony. The one I just checked (see here: http://www.lifeofchrist.com/life/harmony/ ) places Mark 5:1-19 after Mark 1:34. In my opinion, their time was not up. The punishment of fallen angels and demons is still in the future. In my opinion, different demons require different techniques. As you may recall the kind of demon that causes psychotic and/or epileptic behavior (see Matt. 17:14-21) requires both fasting and prayer to expel. I don't know why that is. In my opinion, it is a tougher demon, possibly higher up in the pecking order so to speak. | ||||||
7 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | savedsince1980 | 217892 | ||
But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee: (Deu. 20:17 KJV) David sinned because he comitted adultery. He didn't sin because he had Uriah killed. Uriah was already under a death senttence from God (see above.) Mark |
||||||
8 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | savedsince1980 | 217891 | ||
Agreed. But, the narrative says that. I doubt anybody would follow that example given the outcome. Mark |
||||||
9 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | savedsince1980 | 217887 | ||
No. But, if David executed a man after he was anointed the king by Samuel, and the king made the laws, then David didn't sin. He was the law. If you can remind me of the chapter and verse I'll take a look at it. You're not talking about Uriah are you? Mark |

10 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | savedsince1980 | 217884 | ||
Had David been anointed king yet? Was there a law against polygamy? | ||||||
11 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | savedsince1980 | 217881 | ||
The hermeneutic principle has to be subordinated to the literal, plain message contained in the scriptures. Remember that the hermeneutic principal is manmade, not God-breathed. In every case where the hermeneutic principal alters the plain message the hermeneutic principal should be discarded. I have little regard for manmade contrivances such as dispensationalism. | ||||||
12 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | savedsince1980 | 217880 | ||
The Apostle Paul would disagree with BradK or Doc. See here: 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Tim. 3:16-17 KJV) He didn't say "some scripture" or "most scripture." Also, the lieral translation of "given by inspiration of God" is "God-breathed." So, all that remains is the decision to believe that the bible is "God-breathed." Otherwise wwhy even bother reading it? There are thousands of other books out there that aren't God-breathed. | ||||||
13 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | savedsince1980 | 217870 | ||
I think that's where you and I differ. I believe that the entire bible, all 66 canonical books, are inspired (literally "God breathed.) Acts isn't simply an historcial narrative to me. It's the word of God, and therefore a fact and not an opinion. | ||||||
14 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | savedsince1980 | 217866 | ||
Then, is what I said not correct? | ||||||
15 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | savedsince1980 | 217859 | ||
Where should we derive doctrine then? From the opinions of man? Or from the plain and easy-to-understand word of God? | ||||||
16 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | savedsince1980 | 217856 | ||
This is what the bible says about baptism..." 35Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. (Acts 8:35-38.) Based on that I would say that a person should be baptized in water only after he or she has believed with all his/her heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Any prior baptism is of no consequence. |

17 | Is Desiderata in the Bible? | Romans | savedsince1980 | 217855 | ||
No. From Wikipedia..."Desiderata" (Latin for "desired things", plural of desideratum) is an inspirational prose poem about attaining happiness in life. It begins: Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. Max Ehrmann first copyrighted it in 1927, but it was widely circulated in the 1960s without attribution to him. This copyright was renewed in 1954 by Bertha Ehrmann. | ||||||
18 | Why does Jesus have mercy on Demons? | Mark 5:13 | savedsince1980 | 217854 | ||
Because "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven" (Eccl. 3:1.) The time for the punishment of the demons had not yet arrived. That occurs much later (see Matt. 25:41 and Rev. 20:10-15.) | ||||||
19 | The man Paul cursed. | 2 Corinthians | savedsince1980 | 217853 | ||
Paul didn't curse the man. He told the church to not have fellowship with him (1 Cor. 5:11.) Later on, as you guessed, he told the same church to accept him back (2 Cor. 2:6-8.) I belive it's a given, however, that this brother has shown penitence for his deed. | ||||||
