1 | Calvin or Armini | Bible general Archive 3 | Psalm 25 | 186782 | ||
John Calivin was simply the "spokesman" for the entire council.He did not "invent" the doctrine. However, Joseph Arminius and a few followers presented their view that countered the council's view and that of all the church at that time. While Joseph Arminius was responsible for his view John Calvin was only "a spokesman" for the views held by the entire church council. Sometime after that the oppossing sides were then given the labels "calvinist" and "arminianism." Historically the church has been strongly calvinist. Today calvinist are few and far between, sadly. Why should you study either? Very important. Don't get hung up on "labels" put on them. The calvinist view gives all the glory and honor and credit to God. The arminian view gives most (if not all) of the credit to mankind being "able" to believe in God. Although both views have extremes, the free will premice seems to have no boundaries and has led to all kinds of extremes. I highly recommend "Willing to Believe" by R.C. Sproul, Baker Books, 1997. You won't find anything better and it gives a complete historic and honest comparison of both sides. Highly documented and precise. |

2 | Please define calvin and armini | Bible general Archive 3 | Psalm 25 | 186841 | ||
Scroll down the page and look for "Calvin and Armini." This subject has been discussed for several days. The original question was asked by "God's-elect." | ||||||
3 | Are we something before we were somethin | Is 43:7 | Psalm 25 | 187406 | ||
Greetings DLA, Psalm 139:13-18 declare that God knew us and formed us in the womb. This Psalm is very clear that God knew us and uniquely created us and then ordained each and every day of our lives. Ephesians 1:4 says, "just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him In love." This also shows God's knowing us and choosing us before creation was completed. Interesting isn't it? Does this answer you questions? Psalm 25 |

5 | Tribulation---7 years long? | Dan 12:11 | Psalm 25 | 186855 | ||
Yes, Daniel 12:11 indicates the first 3 1/2 years and Revelations 11:3 describe the last 3 1/2 years | ||||||
6 | 3 days,3nights in the earth | Matthew | Psalm 25 | 187700 | ||
chach, From what I know you already have the most excepted explaination. The Jews considered the next day as starting at 6pm. Thus, each 24 hour period began at 6pm until 6pm the next day. So if you count what we would call "a fragment of a day," according to the way we calculate a 24 hour period, then Jesus was 3 days and 3 nights. Hope this helps Psalm 25 |

7 | Can not do the postion as of now | Matthew | Psalm 25 | 187772 | ||
mae68, Please clarify what you are asking. It sounds like you are unable to get to church and are asking the Pastor to replace you and he responded by asking if you are sure. Can you be more specific? If you are sincerely unable to continue then you should not feel bad about this. Of course, I have no idea what the details are and what your position or duties were. Let us know, Psalm 25 |

9 | Can the Spirit be impersonated? | Matt 7:21 | Psalm 25 | 187022 | ||
ebrain, Hope I can respond "better than last time!" I believe the only way to measure fruit is Galations 5:22 in light of 1 Corinthians 13. As far as I know the concept "of fruit," Biblically based is that of agape-love. Many today say "look at the fruits of the work or ministry," while the scriptures describe "fruit" not in terms of results (?) but in light of Galations 5 and 1 Corinthians 13. Jesus said in Matthew 7:16-24 that "many will say to Me on that day..." proving that (so called) works is not the qualifier nor the many who thought they were genuine believers. The fact that you or anyone is truly concerned, in my opinion, demonstrates that the Holy Spirit is alive and well within you. Genuine godly love, and a true thirst for knowing God is what sets the believer apart. What do you think? In Him, Psalm 25 |

10 | What is Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? | Matt 12:31 | Psalm 25 | 186790 | ||
The pharisees were attributing the miracles of Jesus to Satan. They were saying that Jesus got His power from Satan rather than from God. This is the only way the sin of blasphemy can occur and is not relevent to today. | ||||||
11 | What is a fatal sin? | Matt 12:31 | Psalm 25 | 186793 | ||
There is no "one" sin nor is there anything that can not be forgiven. Remember, King David committed adultry and murder (of Uriah). The book of James states "there is sin leading to death." Notice it does not say "a sin." In the Greek it's "sin" not "a sin." What James is indicating is "a contineous life style of sin." And remember a born again Christian can "never" lose their salvation. | ||||||
12 | Why is it not relevant today? | Matt 12:31 | Psalm 25 | 186832 | ||
If we keep Matt. 12:31 in context the pharisees refused to acknowledge Jesus as "the Son of God," and were therfore attributing His miracles as originating from Satan rather than from God. They only had two choices, either Jesus was "from God the Father" or He was not. If He was not then He got His power from the devil. The reason it is not relevant today is it was directly addressed to the pharisees as "they were the ones blaspheming the Holy Spirit giving credit for the miracles to Satan." The reason it was unforgivable is they did not believe in Jesus as being the Son of God. The one and only unforgivable sin is refusing to believe in Jesus. | ||||||
13 | Did you always believe in Jesus? | Matt 12:31 | Psalm 25 | 186908 | ||
Greetings M.Royal, You have addressed several issues and this whole scenerio is quite complex.I am not sure what you are asking(?). Neither do I have expertise in this area. The pharisees were giving credit for the miracles to Satan and not to God (through the Holy Spirit).They were saying Jesus was not from God the Father but that He was performing miracles through the evil spirits (Satan). Jesus performed many mircles that the Old Testament said "only the Messiah could do, and would do." The miracles Jesus did was absolute proof-positive that He was indeed the Messiah. That's why I, and all Biblical scholars I know of, state that this blasphemy can not be duplicated today. When Jesus was on the cross and said "Father forgive them..." He was asking for God to pass over the killing of God's Son that would have gone against "the whole world," as well as the nation of Israel. No one killed Jesus or put Him on the cross. God used this entire event to "fulfill His purposes" in that the Son of God had to die for the sins of mankind. Jesus submitted to this voluntarily and we can only assume that had He not asked the Father "to forgive them" God may have destroyed the entire world,or at least the nation of Israel. Paul did not start off being a believer in Jesus. He became a believer while being struck down on the Damascus road. I am not sure if I answered your questions or just raised more? |

14 | taking care of the Church | Matt 16:18 | Psalm 25 | 186859 | ||
In the Greek the word for church is "ekklesia" and means "the called out ones," or "to call out." It has nothing to do with a building and is refering to God's people or "those He has called out." Financially speaking there are many references to supporting the ministries and ministers as well as brothers and sisters "in need." 2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9 are good for review. | ||||||
15 | I have a problem with Mat 27:53 | Matt 27:53 | Psalm 25 | 187647 | ||
If you are asking did they "stay in" their graves? Or do you mean they were held in Abraham's bosom until the resurrection? While their bodies were in the grave their souls were in Abraham's bosom, then, their souls were somewhat reunited with their bodies at the resurrection. I assume that they then were given "glorified bodies" and were able to acsend into heaven. Question answered? Psalm 25 |

Congo, Can't find much about him. you may have to go to a library. The Jewish historian "Josephus" is said to be a very reliable source for many things happening in and around the time of Christ. Some of this may help: The Gospels all state that there was a custom at Passover during which the Roman governor would release a prisoner of the crowd's choice. Mark 15:6; present in the earliest manuscripts and may be a later gloss to Matt. 27:15; John 18:39; Luke 23:17 (though this verse in Luke is not bring Luke into conformity)[8] The gospels differ on whether the custom was a Roman one or a Jewish one. Such a release or custom of such a release is not recorded in any other historical document. Some point to the perception of Pontius Pilate's disregard for Jewish sensibilities; the idea of him honouring Jewish Passover in any way may not fit with historical accounts of his character. However, other historians take the exact opposite approach, arguing that Pilate showed careful regard to customs in order to avoid revolts in an unruly province, and this may be an example of Pilate creating an "ad hoc" tradition in order to avoid a possibly explosive situation. The gospels, however, portray Pilate not as the one in control of the situation, and have him pleading with the crowd that they choose Jesus to be the one to be released, and involuntarily surrendering to their decision. An alternate, if not converse, reading of the events involving Barrabbas can also be made, however. Given that Barrabbas was described by some to be a revolutionary or a terrorist, it stands to reason that his acts of terror and revolt would have been directed against the Romans. In this case, it would be logical to assume that Barrabbas might have been viewed by the people as something of a folk hero. A freedom fighter / insurgent taking the fight to the Roman occupiers. When Barrabbas is seen through this lens, it appears that Pilates' choice to the people was not much of a choice at all. If Pilate were to offer a local hero to the people as an alternative to Jesus, they would most certainly choose to free the hero. Thus, Pilate could bring about the execution of a dangerous man of God without seeming to actually be responsible for his death. This argument is also supported in the events of Luke 23:6-12. Pilate claims no jurisdiction over Jesus because he is from Gallilee (Jerusalem was in Judea) and passes him along to King Herod to be sentenced. In spite of the fact that Herod was an actual King of the Jews and would therefore be politically threatened by Jesus, and despite having already ordered the death of John the Baptist, Herod's reaction is to ridicule Jesus for a time, and then to pass him right back to Pilate. The result of Herod's apparent assent to Pilate's jurisdiction over Jesus is said to have brought about a truce between the two men in Luke 23:12. This event, along with the "vote" between Barrabbas and Jesus, and taken with the fact that it was the Jewish Sanhedrin who had brought Jesus before Pilate in the first place, would seem to illustrate that Jesus was something of a political hot potato whom everyone from the leaders of the Temple hierarchy, to the Romans, to the Hebrew aristocracy would just as soon be rid of, but whom no one wanted to take the actual responsibility for killing. When seen in this light, it appears that everyone involved, and therefore no one group or person in particular, is responsible for the crucifiction of Jesus. Thus, all "sons of God", are responsible for the death of this actual Son of God. If Pilate did not offer a choice between Jesus and another person, several possible explanations for the origin of such a story have been offered by a number of scholars |

19 | Could and can disciples forgive sins? | John 20:23 | Psalm 25 | 187362 | ||
Hello Ken, This is one of those difficult passages to comprehend. Since we know that only God, and Jesus is also, can forgive sin then what was Jesus implying here? Jesus was sending them out to witness and evalgelize.So, in a sense He was commissioning them to spread the good news. The disciples were Jesus' direct representatives and were acting on His behalf. Hope this helps, it's rather a "simplistic explanation." Psalm 25 |

20 | writing by bartholomew? | Acts 1:13 | Psalm 25 | 187592 | ||
Hello justsomebody, No, not that I could find. Here is what I did find, although not a lot is known about him. Bartholomew is generally supposed to have been the same person as Nathanael. In the Synoptic gospels, Philip and Bartholomew are always mentioned together, while Nathanael is never mentioned; in the gospel of John, on the other hand, Philip and Nathanael are similarly mentioned together, but nothing is said of Bartholomew. In the Gospel of John (John 1:45-51), Nathanael is introduced as a friend of Philip. He is described as initially being skeptical about the Messiah coming from Nazareth, saying: "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?", but nonetheless, follows Philip's invitation. Jesus immediately characterizes him as "an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit". Some scholars hold that Jesus' quote "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you", is based on Jewish figure of speech referring studying the Torah. Nathanael recognizes Jesus as "the Son of God" and "the King of Israel". Nathanael reappears at the end of John's gospel (John 21:2) as one of the disciples to whom Jesus appeared at the Sea of Tiberias after the resurrection. Hope this helps, Psalm 25 |
