1 | "word" or "Word" | Bible general Archive 3 | New Creature | 165995 | ||
Ok But lets say we changed John 1:1 around, to instead read; In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. Does that make a difference? We know why in John 1:1 it's "Word" instead of "word" right? "Word" refers to a person, rather than the written word does it not? Now it's the same thing in 1 Pet. 1:23 Most versions read: having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. Other translations use the captialization "Word" being regenerated, not by corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the living Word of God, and remaining forever. Can we draw a conclusion which translation is correct? |

3 | "word" or "Word" | Bible general Archive 3 | New Creature | 166072 | ||
Let me try this. Why is it that some translations say "word" and others say "Word" (1 Pet. 1:23 AMP) You have been regenerated - born again - not from a mortal origin (seed, sperm) but from one that is immortal by the ever living and lasting Word of God. (1 Pet 1:23 LITV) being regenerated, not by corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the living Word of God, and remaining forever. |

I found this on 1 pet. 1:23 from Marvin Vincent's Word Studies "Word of God The gospel of Christ. Compare 1Pe_1:25, and Peter's words, Act_10:36. Also, Eph_1:13; Col_1:5; Jam_1:18. Not the personal Word, as the term is employed by John. Nevertheless, the connection and relation of the personal with the revealed word is distinctly recognized. “In the New Testament we trace a gradual ascent from (a) the concrete message as conveyed to man by personal agency through (b) the Word, the revelation of God to man which the message embodies, forming, as it were, its life and soul, to (c) The Word, who, being God, not only reveals but imparts himself to us, and is formed in us thereby” (Scott, on James1:18, “Speaker's Commentary”). |

Mark you said: Mr. Green apparently believes that this reference refers to Christ Yes, thats what I'm getting at. Does word in this verse refer to the written word, or to the person which "Word" would indicate. Obviously their is not full agreement even among translators on this. Marvin Vincent in his word studies makes the following interesting comment on the usage of "Word" in 1 Pet. 1:23 1Pe 1:23 - Being born again Rev., having been begotten again. Compare Jam_1:18. Of seed - by the word Note the difference in the prepositions; the former denoting the origin or source of life, the latter the medium through which it imparts itself to the nature. Word of God The gospel of Christ. Compare 1Pe_1:25, and Peter's words, Act_10:36. Also, Eph_1:13; Col_1:5; Jam_1:18. Not the personal Word, as the term is employed by John. Nevertheless, the connection and relation of the personal with the revealed word is distinctly recognized. “In the New Testament we trace a gradual ascent from (a) the concrete message as conveyed to man by personal agency through (b) the Word, the revelation of God to man which the message embodies, forming, as it were, its life and soul, to (c) The Word, who, being God, not only reveals but imparts himself to us, and is formed in us thereby” (Scott, on Jam_1:18, “Speaker's Commentary”). |

Pastor Tim You have been a real blessing to me in my studies. All the hard work you personally put into understanding God's word is now paying off in the lives of other believers such as myself. I just wanted to personally thank you for being so patient and willing to help us better understand God's word that we might grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour. Keep up the good work. From one who is watching and learning from the side-lines Thank you again, and blessings to you NC |

10 | Why do some believe while others do not? | Bible general Archive 3 | New Creature | 185853 | ||
My personal opinion is that a person cannot believe unless God first gives that person illumination.God must first give us a heart to know Him. 2 Cor 2:14 Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged. A person cannot savingly come to Jesus unless God draws that person to Himself John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him: Hope that helps. If I can assist you further please let me know |

12 | How to "win the world" ? | Bible general Archive 2 | New Creature | 92821 | ||
Dear mommapbs; You mention selling popcorn. I read an article about a certain church that bought an old movie theatre, and conduct their services at that facility, and yes they prided themselves in the fact that they have popcorn. What is worse is the Casino church out in Las Vegas that uses slot machines and gambling. I am not making this up. The name of this church is Covenant Casino Church.

mommapbs: Here are a couple of interesting quotes that address the topic we have been discussing "It’s sad but true that many churches today have turned to recreation and entertainment in an attempt to hold the people, becoming more and more like the world." (source unknown) "We have a lot of markings that look like Christianity these days, but we have drastically revised the parameters. People have lowered the standards in a vain attempt to make churches look more sucessful than they really are. The sermons have to be uniformly positive, and the services can’t go longer than 60 minutes. Even then church is inconvenient for some, especially during football season. Showing up at church is such a burden that soon people will be faxing in their worship. (Jim Cymbala - Pastor of The Brooklyn Tabernacle Church) So I would counter your Ezek. 33:32 with the following 2 verses. Matt. 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

Dear JIBBS; Yes the gospel is a spiritual thing. However the fact still remains that man's response to God's calling is to 1) confess with his mouth the Lord Jesus. 2) believe in his heart See Rom. 10:9-10 below That is man's response. No where in Scripture do we see where God confesses, believes or repents for us. Actually God commands us to repent. Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: SO DOES GOD COMMAND US TO DO SOMETHING HE HAS NOT FIRST ENABLED US TO DO? YES OR NO Your concept of inability does not come from God's word, but rather from your theological bias. Rom. 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom. 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. In His Service New Creature |

Dear Jibby; Your assumption that your discussing theology with a heretic, is rather harsh and judgemental. If what I have previously stated does not seem to line up with Scripture, and you correct me with Scripture that is acceptable. But to label those whom you disagree with, and have never met in person as heretics is unChristian to say the least. I think we both love the Lord, and treasure His word in our hearts, so can we please omit the name calling? Having said that I now will respond to the remainder of your reply I think we are both trying to say the same thing, if I understand you correctly. However your answer to the following question I posed appears to contradict what you stated in your opening comments in your reply: When I asked: "SO DOES GOD COMMAND US TO DO SOMETHING HE HAS NOT FIRST ENABLED US TO DO? YES OR NO" You answered "Absolutely" So I can only assume that you 1) believe that God has commnded us to do something that he has not enabled us to do. or 2) you misread, or misunderstood the question I asked. I personally believe that if God commands us to do something, then He has first given us the ability and the desire to do what He commands. Do you agree? In His service New Creature |

Truthfinder I agree with the "glass bowl" concept you borrowed from Hank. And none of our words or deeds are hidden from Him whom we will one day give account. Concerning your comment about the law, and how the Israelites added to it, I found the following interesting quote. "The rabbis of Israel took to appending notes to the inspired text, with the result that a great body of doctrine grew up which finally crowded out the Scriptures themselves. " (from a source unknown to me) Grace be unto you New Creature |

Dear Hank; Excellent point about the volumes of books Calvin wrote to attempt to explain away the proper intention and meaning of certain parts of Holy writ. It would be easier and proper for us to believe that when scripture says "whosoever" it means exactly that. If I said to a classroom full of students, "whoever wants to go on a bus trip may" then all in the classroom who want to go can. In my sentance, I addressed everyone in the classroom without exclusion, even if some of those in the classroom decide against going on the bus trip. "Whosoever" means whosoever, not something else. We are not to alter God's word by adding to it or subtracting from it in anyway shape or form. God doesn't stutter God said what He meant, and meant what He said. Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. (1 Pet. 1:2) New Creature |

20 | Will suicide condem my soul to hell? | Bible general Archive 2 | New Creature | 101457 | ||
Scott My personal conviction is as follows: Since God's word says, "Thou shalt not kill" Exodus 20:13, then the killing of ones self by any form or method of suicide is self murder. I personnaly wouldn't want to committ suicide to find out later (in the next life) that the last act I committed in life was an act that God was displeased with. While we are living God gives us living grace, especially in difficult moments When it comes time for us to die, then God will likewise provide dying grace. But our times our in His hands, not ours. If you, or someone you know is considering suicide, I would reconsider, and not follow through with any attempts to KILL ones self. New Creature |
