161	Imperfect God?	Bible general Archive 3	kalos	180187
	You ask: "How can we as Christians justify His perfection...?" Man does not justify God. God justifies man. Man does not judge God. God judges man. Moreover, when angels rebelled against God it was because of imperfection in them. In God there is no imperfection.
162	from romans 6 12-14 two examples of sin	Rom 6:12	kalos	180173
	Are these homework questions? Are you testing our collective knowledge? Or did you awake one morning with a burning desire to know examples of how sins of the body are to be refused and specific examples of how one offers one's body to God? Just thought I'd ask. Grace y paz (Grace and peace), John

Isaiah 41: 10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

168	Holy Ghost baptizm response to answer	John 20:22	kalos	180023
	John answered them all, “I baptize you with water, but one more powerful than I am is coming – I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." Luke 3:16 The NET Bible 'With the Holy Spirit and fire. There are differing interpretations for this phrase regarding the number of baptisms and their nature. '(1) Some see one baptism here, and this can be divided further into two options. (a) The baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire could refer to the cleansing, purifying work of the Spirit in the individual believer through salvation and sanctification, or (b) it could refer to two different results of Christ’s ministry: Some accept Christ and are baptized with the Holy Spirit, but some reject him and receive judgment. '(2) Other interpreters see two baptisms here: The baptism of the Holy Spirit refers to the salvation Jesus brings at his first advent, in which believers receive the Holy Spirit, and the baptism of fire refers to the judgment Jesus will bring upon the world at his second coming. 'One must take into account both the image of fire and whether individual or corporate baptism is in view. A decision is not easy on either issue. The image of fire is used to refer to both eternal judgment (e.g., Matt 25:41) and the power of the Lord’s presence to purge and cleanse his people (e.g., Isa 4:4-5). The pouring out of the Spirit at Pentecost, a fulfillment of this prophecy no matter which interpretation is taken, had both individual and corporate dimensions. It is possible that since Holy Spirit and fire are governed by a single preposition in Greek, the one-baptism view may be more likely, but this is not certain. Simply put, there is no consensus view in scholarship at this time on the best interpretation of this passage.' Source: Study note at Luke 3:16, The NET Bible Gracia y paz (Grace and peace), John

171	Whom baptizes with the Holy Ghost	Bible general Archive 3	kalos	180012
	Baptized by or filled with the Holy Spirit Question: Do BAPTIZED BY the Holy Spirit and FILLED WITH the Holy Spirit mean the same thing? Answer: No, they do not mean the same thing. Being BAPTIZED BY the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:13) is not the same as being FILLED WITH the Spirit (Eph. 5:18). Let the Word of God show us the difference between the biblical terms baptized, filled and indwelt. 1) BAPTIZED At the time of our salvation we are baptized (placed) into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:13). NASB 1 Corinthians 12:13 For BY one Spirit we were all BAPTIZED into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. AMPLIFIED 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by [means of the personal agency of] one [Holy] Spirit we were all, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, baptized [and by baptism united together] into one body, and all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit. 2) INDWELT Also, at the time of our salvation, we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:9). NASB Romans 8:9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God DWELLS in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. AMPLIFIED Romans 8:9 But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God [really] dwells within you [directs and controls you]. But if anyone does not possess the [Holy] Spirit of Christ, he is none of His [he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God]. [Rom. 8:14.] 3) FILLED We are also commanded to be filled with the Spirit (Eph. 5:18). Eph. 5:18 'be filled with the Spirit. Paul has taught in this epistle that all believers are sealed with the Spirit when they believe (Eph. 1:13-14; 4:30), but not all are filled, since that depends on yieldedness to God's will (5:17). 'Filling' describes an experience that can be repeated (Acts 2:4; 4:31), and here, as in Acts, it is connected with joy, courage, spirituality and Christian character' (Ryrie Study Bible: Expanded Edition, note at Eph. 5:18). filled with the Holy Spirit. "In contrast to the baptism with the Spirit, which is the one-time act by which God places believers into His Body (1 Cor 12:13), the filling is a repeated reality of Spirit-controlled behavior that God commands believers to maintain. Peter and many others in Acts 2 were filled with the Spirit again (e.g., Acts 4:8,31; 6:5; 7:55) and so spoke boldly the Word of God. The fullness of the Spirit affects all areas of life, not just speaking boldy (compare Eph 5:19-33)" (p. 1635, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997) Amplified Ephesians 5:18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be filled and stimulated with the [Holy] Spirit. And the evidence of being filled with the Spirit? Amplified Ephesians 5:19-20 Speak out to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, offering praise with voices and making melody with all your heart to the Lord, at all times and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father. (For my personal testimony of being filled with the Holy Spirit, see ID# 9759.) Grace to you, Kalos
172	Whom baptizes with the Holy Ghost	Bible general Archive 3	kalos	180009
	ASuba, Actually there is no such thing as being baptized "with" or "in" the Holy Ghost. According to the Scriptures, we are baptized "by" the Holy Spirit (Ghost). NASB 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. However, people are FILLED with the Spirit (filled not baptized) and I rejoice to see that you desire to be filled with the Spirit. I will post more on this subject later.

174	Matthew 12:43-45	Matt 12:44	kalos	179997
	The Worthlessness of Self-reformation The theme of the parable in Matthew 12:43-45 is the worthlessness of self-reformation. It does not mean that after a person is saved he might become demon possessed. Note also that the text here does not say anything about the unclean spirit being "cast out." It merely says "Now when the unclean spirit GOES OUT of a man..." (emphasis added). "Self-reformation, without spiritual conversion, can lead to serious ramifications" (Ryrie Study Bible: Expanded Edition, Moody Press, 1995). Matthew 12:45 "the last state of that man is worse than the first. The problem is that the evil spirit found the house 'empty' (v. 44). This is the description of someone who attempts moral reform without ever being indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Reform apart from regeneration (being born again) is never effective and eventually reverts back to pre-reform behavior" (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997).

175	Is I Peter a Baptismal sermon	1 Pet 1:1	kalos	179995
	PETER, AN apostle (a special messenger) of Jesus Christ, [writing] to the elect exiles of the dispersion scattered (sowed) abroad in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 1 Peter 1:1 AMPLIFIED This letter is from Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ. I am writing to God's chosen people who are living as foreigners in the lands of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, the province of Asia, and Bithynia. 1 Peter 1:1 The New Living Translation The first epistle of Peter is a letter written to the exiles of the dispersion scattered abroad. Whether it was originally a sermon, we don't know because the text of the book does not tell us. However, "Peter may have been writing especially for...those planning to be baptized." According to The One Year Bible Companion, "The apostle Peter wrote this letter to encourage believers who would likely face trials and persecution under Emperor Nero...Peter may have been writing especially for new Christians and those planning to be baptized. Peter wanted to warn them about what lay ahead, and they needed his encouraging words to help them face opposition" (The One Year Bible Companion, 1992, Tyndale House Publishers).

176	peopl should read the bible b4 they ask	2 Pet 2:3	kalos	179983
	"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. [22] On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' [23] And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'" Matthew 7:21-23 (ESV) Christianity Today on Benny Hinn 'Benny Hinn is controversial for his theology, his practices, and his claims. While he at one point denounced the word-faith message, he later picked it up again. 'Representatives of CRI and other evangelical apologetics ministries say they have noticed a pattern of Hinn telling people behind the scenes that he has changed, but then going on as before. (...) 'Indeed, for those who have been keeping an eye on him, Hinn has proven to be difficult to pin down. Not long after telling Christianity Today that the ''faith message'' (as articulated by such teachers as Kenneth Copeland ) does not ''add up,'' Hinn said that speaking out against Copeland was tantamount to ''attacking the very presence of God.'' Also, though affirming the concept of a triune God , he continues to maintain that the Holy Spirit has a ''spirit-body.'' 'In last year's interview with CT, Hinn said he would no longer use the term revelation knowledge in reference to some of his teachings because of the implication that those teachings were directly from God and thus infallible. While he has shunned the term revelation knowledge, just a few months ago on TV Hinn said that the Holy Spirit was at that moment teaching him that God originally designed women to give birth out of their sides. (...) 'According to Hanegraaff , Hinn several times denied to him having made the statement about women and birth. Hanegraaff said he finally told Hinn where he could find the disputed remark on the videotaped sermon. Hinn later acknowledged making the statement, calling it ''dumb.'' Hanegraaff said that when he reminded Hinn that he had credited the Holy Spirit with the teaching, the evangelist chuckled and said he had actually picked up the teaching from the (1963) Dake's Annotated Reference Bible. (...) 'Critics have also questioned Hinn's account of his testimony. Hinn says he was miraculously cured of stuttering, but PFO claims it has talked to several people from Hinn's youth who do not recall him stuttering. And in an article in PFO's next newsletter, Fisher challenges Hinn's claim that his father was the mayor of Jaffa, Israel. Hinn acknowledges that his father did not have the title of mayor, but says he performed the functions of mayor. Fisher says Hinn's father, who is now deceased, was ''a clerk in an Arab labor office.'''

178	what des it mean to take up your cross	Luke 14:27	kalos	179940
	'To take up your cross was a vivid illustration of the humility and submission that Jesus asked of his followers. When Jesus used this picture of his followers taking up their crosses to follow him, the people knew what it meant. For some, taking up the cross might indeed mean death; for all, it means denying self. To follow Christ is a moment-by-moment decision, requiring denial of self."

179	what des it mean to take up your cross	Luke 14:27	kalos	179939
	Life-or-death devotion to Christ "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me." Matthew 10:38 NASB 'Here is Jesus' first mention of the word "cross" to his disciples. To them it would have evoked a picture of a violent, degrading death. He was demanding total commitment from them--even unto physical death--and making this call to full surrender a part of the message they were to proclaim to others. This same call to life-or-death devotion to Christ is repeated in 16:24; Mark 8:34; Luke 9:23; 14:27. For those who come to Christ with self-renouncing faith, there will be true and eternal life (v. 39).' Source: MacArthur Study Bible, 1997, Word Publishing Gracia y paz, John
