1 | Was John the Baptist really Elijah? | Matthew | schimc | 108590 | ||
What is this piece of scripture trying to tell us....I don't get it. Matthew 11: 14-15 14And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. 15He who has ears, let him hear. |

2 | Was John the Baptist really Elijah? | Matthew | ZackMac | 108591 | ||
No, it's saying he was part of the lineage of Elijah... similar to how King Hezekiah was part of the lineage of King David. | ||||||

Ok...That is a start, but how do you know it is saying that. Can you expand on that? By the grace of God Schimc |

Greetings Schimc! I think Emmaus gave you a good response. To say that John was Elijah would be akin to re-incarnation, which is inconsistent with Scripture! mommapbs |

5 | Why believe in the physical Ressurection | Matthew | schimc | 109225 | ||
Why Believe? This question is about the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ. I've heard a bunch of apologetics material before and have found some of it useful. I realize it will boil down to a matter of faith, which I have by the way, but when dealing with others it becomes unsettling. For instance, if you look at the biblical accounts of the resurrection they do not even agree on some pretty basic stuff. Was Mary Magdalene alone when she visited the tomb, etc etc. This is some pretty serious material, the Bible cannot be the word of God if it is full of discrepancies. The Human element of the author had to come into play. Any help would not only be greatly appreciated, but I believe it will help evangelize the lost. I can't argue certain points when I know the bible does not agree with itself in some pretty critical places. Namely, the resurrection account of the four authors of the Bible. in Christ Schimc |

Greetings! See 1 Cor 15:17. You wrote: "I can't argue certain points when I know the bible does not agree with itself in some pretty critical places. Namely, the resurrection account of the four authors of the Bible." The account is NOT the issue, the fact that Jesus was raised is. If you asked four different people to describe the same event, do you think that they would all see it the same way? Does their description of the event change the fact that this event took place? In the same way, the Gospel accounts record that the resurrection of Jesus took place. mommapbs |

Ok, then you are agreeing that the author took human privileges when writing the account. And as far as the account goes, it was not exactly inspired by God. Doesn't that open up quite a bit of the gospel for interpretation? This is not to confuse or argue, this is however, extremely important information when trying to convert the lost. Wouldn't you agree? in Christ Schimc |

8 | Why believe in the physical Ressurection | Matthew | Mommapbs | 109230 | ||
Schmic, no I don't agree. 2 Tim 3:16 - All Scripture is inspired by God - note the word ALL, not some. When we diligently seek to study God's Word, we will find that Scripture interprets Itself. Please remember that conversion is a work of the Holy Spirit. The Word of God is revealed by the Spirit. See 1 Cor 2:1-16. mommapbs |
