1 | High handed sins | Num 15:30 | Beja | 226946 | ||
In the course of studying my attention was brought to Numbers 15:30 Num 15:30 'But the person who does anything defiantly, whether he is native or an alien, that one is blaspheming the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from among his people. I have quite a few thoughts on how it is to be understood. However, when I began to do some research to see how other men of God have viewed this, I have found myself unable to even find a single instance of a commentator dealing with this verse. Not one! I even finally typed in the verse in google. It is as if this passage were the plague. So my question is not so much for this verse to be explained by those reading this question, but rather can you point me to some good commentary or discussion on this verse? I'm wanting to get a feel of how this verse has been dealt with by past Christians. In Christ, Beja |

2 | Called from Idolatry | Josh 24:2 | Beja | 225208 | ||
Where is the passage that states that Abraham came from a family of idol worshipers before God called him? | ||||||
3 | The error addressed in 2 Peter | Bible general Archive 4 | Beja | 224771 | ||
Am I wrong to think that the driving concern/error being addressed in 2 Peter is anitnomianism? To me it seems to absolutely be so yet I have not seen any commentators view it as such yet. Here are verses to notice throughout the book. Especially note 2Pet 3:17,18 where the final exhortation is not to be carried away by the error of lawless people. 2Peter 1:3,4,9,12 2:2,9,10,13,14,15,18,19,20-22 3:11,14,17 In Christ, Beja |

5 | Clarifying "handing over the kingdom" | John 13:3 | Beja | 222378 | ||
1 Corinthians 15:24 claims that a day will come when Christ will hand over the kingdom to the Father. I can't help but wondering in what sense the kingdom is handed over. It can not be a complete end to the rule of Christ, because we know from many passages such as Daneil 7:14 and Luke 1:32,33, Isaiah 9:6,7 that this isn't the case. Unless we should understand it to be teaching that the kingdom is the eternal thing but not the rule of Christ. I'm less inclined to believe that. But it must in someway be a handing over of the kingdom, for it certainly means something! Does anybody have a very helpful commentary on this? In Christ, Beja |

6 | Pharisee expectations on baptism | John 1:25 | Beja | 220392 | ||
John 1:24,25 Now they had been sent from the Pharisees. The asked him and said to him, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?" Anybody know what the connection in their thinking was? Apparently they had some understanding of baptism in which any of these three figures were expected to be doing this but nobody else. Why did they see Baptism as some extremely authority oriented event? What in the old testament might have shaped this view? Or perhaps do you know any of the Jewish tradtion at that time that might explain it? In Christ, Beja |

7 | continued pursuit, or saving faith | Bible general Archive 4 | Beja | 213709 | ||
must believe that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. Do you think that this refers to something after salvation in the sense that after we are saved we must continue to believe that he is worth further pursuit. A believe without which we will never seek Him thus living in a way that pleases Him. Or do you think this is drawing out the fact that for salvation you must not only have faith that He exists but you must also have faith that He will carry out His promised reward of "salvation." Both are true I believe, the question is which do you think the author of Hebrews is trying to convey. In Love, Beja |

8 | Heb6:4-6 Loosing salvation or what? | Heb 6:4 | Beja | 207534 | ||
This question regards Heb 6:4-6. My question is this: could somebody who believes that you can not loose your salvation tell me how you understand this verse? In an attempt to save waisted time let me say a few things. First, I believe in the eternal security of the believer therefore there is no need to convince me of that doctrine. I'm looking how this verse is compatable with that doctrine. Second, I do not find the arguement that I have heard some people say, that this verse is talking about hypothetically "if we could loose our salvation." That explination does not fit within the context at all in my opinion. So if you do think that really is the explination, you need to argue it in good detail and show exactly how this is Paul's line of reasoning. Third, I do feel I might have my own answer, but it relies on stating that the translators of the NASB have not chosen the best translation of a particular participle within this passage. Not in definition but in terms of syntax. However, I'm not entirely comfortable with that answer so I am seeking what other answer there "might" be. Thank you in advance for your thoughts. |
