1 | Knowledge of Messiah | John 3:1 | flinkywood | 219000 | ||
If they thought he was God's messiah, they wouldn't have murdered him. Recall how they accused him of demonism (Mark 3:22). | ||||||
2 | Eating in the Sancturary? | Lev 10:18 | flinkywood | 218758 | ||
I found this verse: (Lev 10:18 ESV) "Behold, its blood was not brought into the inner part of the sanctuary. You certainly ought to have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded." |

3 | "lost" or "unbeliever" | Luke 5:31 | flinkywood | 218730 | ||
I have lifelong friends who are "lost", so I pray for them and their children. Since they knew me when I was lost and acting it, I keep it subtle, which means I try more to live, and less to preach, the Gospel. When they have questions, I respond in ways specific to them. I would certainly invite them to church, because you never know--after all, it happened to a wretch like me. | ||||||
4 | scripture, key words for tree of life | Gen 2:1 | flinkywood | 218626 | ||
Tree of life: Signifies everlasting life and communion with Christ. We were banned from this tree at the Fall in Eden. Christ restores our access to this tree. Literal references: Gen 2.1; 3.22; 3.24; 3.18; Pro 3:18; 11.30; 13.12; 15.14; Rev 2.7; 22.2, 14; 19. Also look at Psalm 1, which is a kind of gateway to the Psalms and speaks beautifully about your subject. Read it in the KJV. Also, why are you at wit’s end? Do you have a concordance? Have you heard of E-Sword? |

Humility, If you don't like strip clubs, don't go. If these "friends" really cared for you they'd "chill" with you. Here's permission from the Man himself: "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." (Mat 7:6 KJVA) |

6 | What does He mean? | Luke 5:23 | flinkywood | 218436 | ||
I've read the exchanges below. Great stuff. It's what SBF is for. The Temple and it's priests were the OT channels of forgiveness. Jesus pointedly upends this by offering himself as this channel under his divine authority. His NT mission, the fulfillment of God's OT promise, was the forgiveness of sins: "Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." (Jer 31:31-34 ESV) In addition, it seems that because disease was associated with sin, Jesus used this opportunity, this miracle, to link his power to heal the body with his divine power to heal the soul. The Pharisees would have seen this as omninous blasphemy. These verses in conjunction with, "When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to men." (Mat 9:8 ESV) are suitable to deploy against Jehovah's witnesses, with the leading question, "Can a man forgive sins?" |

7 | Animals in heaven? | 2 Tim 2:15 | flinkywood | 218280 | ||
No mention in scripture, but I'm encouraged by Elijah's assumption into heaven on a "flaming chariot with flaming horses" (2 Kgs 2:11-12). Here's C.S. Lewis on the question: "It seems to me possible that certain animals may have an immortality, not in themselves, but in the immortality of their masters" ("The Problem of Pain", ch. 9). |

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," (Mat 28:19) Notice that Jesus says "in the name of...", as opposed to "in the 'names' of..." |

9 | We were about to take communion and the | 1 Cor 11:27 | flinkywood | 216457 | ||
Dear TFTennis, Paul's urging that a "self-examination" precede the eating and drinking of the communion bread and wine, lest one be guilty of the "body and blood", presupposes that these elements are actually the Body and Blood of our Lord. Outside the Catholic Church, which teaches the "Real Presence" of Jesus Christ under the "aspects" of bread and wine, communion is a symbolic remembrance of Christ's death until he comes; and though self-examination prior to this remembrance is a beneficial Christian practice, it is not requisite to partake of a symbolic communion of the type I think you refer to. It may be that the pastor has conflated another verse with 1 Cor 11:27: So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. (Mat 5:23-24 ESV) In this verse, Jesus refers to a gift offered at an altar; He is not referring to the communion of the type in 1 cor 11:27. Matt 5:25-27 does, however, speak of a need to reconcile with a brother so that this particular gift be given in a worthy manner, in a state of grace, if you will. Under the circumstances you describe, has your friend been biblically short-changed by the pastor's teaching? Apparently she has; it isn't biblical to teach that your friend is unworthy to receive communion because of difficulty with a fellow believer. Oswald Chambers has commented beautifully on Matt 5: 23-27 in "My Utmost for His Highest" in a sermon entitled, "The 'Go' of Preparation". You can find it on the web. |

11 | Why did Jesus fold His Napkin/Facecloth? | John 20:7 | flinkywood | 214160 | ||
Dear Pattycake, Perhaps John, who knew Christ intimately, recognized his Friend's customary morning ritual of folding his sleeping cloth, evidence deliberately placed indicating that He had risen of his own power. Here are other ancient opinions: St. Gregory: "The napkin about our Lord's head is not found with the linen clothes, i.e. God, the Head of Christ, and the incomprehensible mysteries of the Godhead are removed from our poor knowledge; His power transcends the nature of the creature. And it is found not only apart, but also wrapped together; because of the linen wrapped together, neither beginning nor end is seen; and the height of the Divine nature had neither beginning nor end. And it is into one place: for where there is division, God is not; and they merit His grace, who do not occasion scandal by dividing themselves into sects. "But as a napkin is what is used in laboring to wipe the sweat of the brow, by the napkin here we may understand the labor of God: which napkin is found apart, because the suffering of our Redeemer is far removed from ours; inasmuch as He suffered innocently, that which we suffer justly; He submitted Himself to death voluntarily, we by necessity. But after Peter entered, John entered too; for at the end of the world even Judea shall be gathered in to the true faith." St. John Chrysostom: "...and the napkin, that was about His head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Which circumstances were proof of His resurrection. For had they carried Him away, they would not have stripped Him; nor, if any had stolen Him, would they have taken the trouble to wrap up the napkin, and put it in a place by itself, apart from the linen clothes; but would have taken away the body as it was. John mentioned the myrrh first of all, for this reason, i.e. to show you that He could not have been stolen away. For myrrh would make the linen adhere to the body, and so caused trouble to the thieves, and they would never have been so senseless as to have taken this unnecessary pains about the matter." |

12 | What is "prophet's reward" in Matt. 10? | Matt 25:45 | flinkywood | 211974 | ||
Dear Taysr, Jesus has just told his apostles that following Him will require poverty, self-abnegation and likely entail suffering, even death (10:38,39). A "Prophet's reward" is for those who receive these impoverished "little ones" (the Disciples), because in receiving them they receive Jesus Himself (11:40; 25:34-36;45). Our kindness to the little ones of this world is our kindness to Christ. | ||||||
13 | Who is the Bride of Christ? | Bible general Archive 4 | flinkywood | 206277 | ||
The expression “Bride of Christ” is figurative and is found only once, in so many words, in the NT: For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. (2Co 11:2) As a Church we are a betrothed to Christ insofar as we have become “one flesh” in Christ: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." (Eph 5:31) Which is cited from: Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. (Gen 2:24) If, as Paul states, we are betrothed to Christ, then in a sense we have been formed from Christ, the New Adam, as Eve was bride-formed from the rib of the First Adam. This is a function of the Cross, when Christ merged 2 men into one: …by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. (Eph 2:15-16). This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. (Eph 5:32) |

Best try: For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. (Isa 53:2) |

15 | why jesus had not allowed mary to touch | John 20:17 | flinkywood | 202555 | ||
Dear J, It’s unlikely that Jesus is demeaning a woman who loved him ardently and who stood by the cross while 10 other disciples ran and hid; and even though later in the Gospel of John we see Thomas needing physical proof to believe in Jesus’ reincarnation (where Mary needed only to hear his voice), this doesn’t make Thomas somehow more privileged to touch the Lord. A clue is that Jesus asked Mary not “to cling”, which anticipates His later instruction that His work would not be complete until he ascended to the Father and sent the Holy Spirit to be with them (John 16:7). The teaching is that the disciples should not assume He’d returned for good and would remain with them as He was. Good thing Mary was so reasonable; other wise, we might have had a different NT. | ||||||
16 | what is blasphemy against holy spirit | Mark 3:20 | flinkywood | 143650 | ||
Catlong, New Covenant has given you a good answer. I'll add only this: blasphemy against the H.S. is attributing to Satan the works of God. This is what the Pharisees are guilty of in context of this passage (12:24). This is the kind of advanced spiritual hardness Pharoah willfully attained and from which repentance for forgiveness of sins is impossible (please see Mark 3:28-30). I've heard it said that the wrath of God is that He gives us what we want. Colin |

17 | Are John and John The Baptist the same? | John 21:24 | flinkywood | 143605 | ||
Ernie, good question. 1) In John 1:27 the prophet is self-described as the precursor of Christ, not John "the Baptist". Matthew, Mark and Luke's Gospels (the Synoptic Gospels) all refer to the prophet as "John the Baptist", probably to avoid confusion with the Apostle John. 2) The Gospel tells us that its author is the disciple whom Jesus loves (John 21.24), who was also one of the twelve Apostles, and who is also present at the Sea of Tiberius after the Resurrection (John 21). John the Baptist, as we know from Mark 6, was executed by Herod very early in Christ's ministry, so the author of John could not have been John the Baptist. Colin |
