1 | Who are the spirits now in prison? | 1 Pet 3:19 | budderfligh | 227729 | ||
Can you please explain this verse to me? Who were the spirits Jesus made proclamation to and what was the prison they were held in? Was it Paradise or was it hell itself? Is this when He led captivity captive (Eph. 4:8)? | ||||||
2 | Is Jesus "son of David"? | Mark 12:35 | budderfligh | 204327 | ||
Is Jesus saying that it's incorrect to place Him in David's lineage? Mar 12:36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. Mar 12:37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he [then] his son? And the common people heard him gladly. I hope I don't sound too ignorant by asking this question, but I thought one of the proofs that He was the Christ was because He was of the house of David and that the throne of David was established forever, just as Christ will reign forever.

3 | Was this really Samuel's spirit? | 1 Sam 28:11 | budderfligh | 201833 | ||
I Sam. 28:11 Then the woman asked, "Whom shall I bring up for you?" "Bring up Samuel," he said. I Sam. 28:12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out at the top of her voice and said to Saul, "Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!" I Sam. 28:13 The king said to her, "Don't be afraid. What do you see?" The woman said, "I see a spirit [a] coming up out of the ground." I Sam. 28:14 "What does he look like?" he asked. "An old man wearing a robe is coming up," she said. Then Saul knew it was Samuel, and he bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground. I Sam. 28:15 Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" "I am in great distress," Saul said. "The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has turned away from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what to do." Was it Samuel the medium/spiritist brought up from the dead for Saul to consult with or merely a counterfeit spirit? If this really was Samuel how is it that this medium/spiritist had the power to conjure Samuel's spirit from the dead especially considering the fact that Samuel died a Godly man?

4 | take up "his" cross | Luke 9:23 | budderfligh | 200100 | ||
Also, Matt. 16:24, Mark 8:34, and Mark 10:21. Good evening forum! I would like your thoughts on the phrase "take up his cross". What does it mean to you? I hope I receive more than one reply to this question. As always God's blessings to all and any who answer, budderfligh |

5 | Thumbs and toes cut off | Judg 1:6 | budderfligh | 199579 | ||
Also Judges 1:7 And Adonibezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their meat] under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died. Can anyone shed some light on why it seemed to be a common practice to cut off the thumbs and big toes of kings who had been conquered? Was this done to demean the vanquished or perhaps used as an outward sign for all to see that they had indeed been conquered? This reminded me of Lev. 8:24 where the blood was applied to Aaron's son's ears, thumbs and toes. Are these two practices related in any way? God's blessings to any who answer and thank you, budderfligh |

6 | Jacob or Joseph? | Deut 26:5 | budderfligh | 198784 | ||
The KJV version of this verse says: Deut.5 And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous: Why do other versions of Scripture translate this to be Jacob and not Joseph since Jacob ultimately came to Egypt due to what Joseph had accomplished there. Also, doesn't the phrase "ready to perish" seem to apply more to the predicament that Joseph found himself in when his brothers left him in the pit? Thanks in advance for any opinions on this question. God's blessings, budderfligh |

7 | The Face of God | Ex 24:9 | budderfligh | 198108 | ||
Ex 33:20 quotes God saying "Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live." Yet I find a number of verses that seem to be saying that His face has been seen. Gen 32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. Gen 33:10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me. Exd 33:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. I know that Scripture doesn't contradict itself. I'm rather hesitant about asking questions such as these because everyone on the forum seems to surpass me far and away with their knowledge of the Word, but I'd really like this explained. I would ask you to forgive me of my ignorance on this subject. I know there's a logical answer, I just can't seem to figure out what it is! I also have a second question. Sometimes it seems that the words Angel and the Lord are inter-changeable. For instance in Ex. 3:2 when Moses is before the burning bush it says "And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush [was] not consumed". I know that in Gal. 3:19 it states that the law was given through the mediation of angels and I don't fully understand that because I know it was God who spoke with Moses from the burning bush. Also, Gen. 18:1-22 has me confused as it seems to relate a visit from three men (angels) but the text seems to switch back and forth from the Lord speaking to Abram while the actual visitors seems to be the angels. Who was Abram entertaining in his tent that day? Thank you very much for your consideration of these questions. I read the forum daily for new questions and have learned much by reviewing prior threads. God bless any and all who responds to these questions. |

8 | Fall away and backsliding different? | Luke 8:13 | budderfligh | 197450 | ||
Thank you for your answer Doc. This passage of Scripture has always puzzled me. Do you believe that a person who does "fall away" reaches a point where their conscience is seared and they turn to a reprobate mind, unable to be reached and that this is why it's impossible to renew them? If one is in a backsliden condition isn't the door for renewal and repentance open to them all the time? Isn't it just a matter of turning from their lifestyle and repenting? We know that the Lord is faithful and just to forgive. So am I correct in understanding that falling away and backsliding are not necessarily the same thing? | ||||||
9 | What does it mean to "fall away"? | Luke 8:13 | budderfligh | 197294 | ||
Hbr 6:4 For [it is] impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, Hbr 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, Hbr 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put [him] to an open shame. I have never been able to fully understand these verses. I believe that it's possible for a believer to "fall away". I know the Old Testament speaks often of "backsliding" and that God will deal with the backslider to the point that scripture even says "Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you:..." Jer. 3:14. I suppose the part of these scriptures that I would like explained is "if they shall fall away". What is the determining factor that indicates that the believer has fallen away to the point that it is impossible to renew them unto repentence? Isn't the only unforgiveable sin blasphemy of the Holy Ghost? Is that what this means? I have read these verses many times and have heard many opinions of their meaning, but have never been truly satisfied with any interpretation I've found. |
