Dear Doc, What does it matter if the questioner is JW? Does that preclude him from receiving a correct response? He asked a bonafide question and I'm sure others would be interested in the answer as well. Ariel |

2 | DEATH | Bible general Archive 4 | ariel levin | 223423 | ||
Good morning Wejlly, Azure told you correctly - Don't even think about such things. If you don't have a "home" fellowship, get on the phone. Most Baptist and Methodist churchs have buses available for those who have no transportation. If you are home bound due to a physical challenge, then there is a wonderful "real time" chat program that you can download. (I use it and I can promise you that it is safe for your computer, no spyware, adware, malware, etc.) The lind for this is: http://www.inspeak.com/ This program allows not only real-time chat by using the keyboard but also using a microphone. You will find bunches of new friends to keep company with right from your living room (which is far better than being alone if you can't get out of your home easily). In these rooms you not only can communicate with other believers, you also can get lots of good music and teachings (some pre-recorded, some live-feeds). (I hope I haven't broken any rules here by posting this link, as there are several Christian rooms available on this chat program and the program is freeware. I don't personally go into the Christian rooms, but I can attest to the fact that the Messianic Jewish rooms are scripturally sound.) |

3 | Did John really baptise Jesus?? | Bible general Archive 4 | ariel levin | 223513 | ||
Shalom Beja, Thank you. You said it much better than I could possibly have done. The only response that came to my mind was that the whole purpose in the virgin conception and birth was to bypass the "seed of man" as the sin inclination came by way of the man Adam. Therefore Messiah was not born of man and had no sin in Him. |

4 | Did John really baptise Jesus?? | Bible general Archive 4 | ariel levin | 223514 | ||
Shalom Doc, Circumcision was an external sign on the flesh only and also done without the person's desire for it to be done. For that reason, you should not compare it with baptism, which is done at a person's request. Mikveh was indeed (and still is) performed by a person when they go through teshuvah. That is what John was calling Israel to do, to turn away from their own ways and come back to faith in the God of Israel. Here I'm a little shakey but it seems to me that John could not have been baptising in the Name prior to Messiah coming to him because until that time the "anointing" for His ministry had not yet come on Him permanently, so the "name" would not have had any power, nor had he purged mankind of sins, died and risen again and ascended to the Father. (Where I'm shakey is I'm not sure the people were being baptised in the name at all while He was still here on earth, cos like you said, it's symbolic of becoming One with Him in His death and resurrection?) |

5 | Did John really baptise Jesus?? | Bible general Archive 4 | ariel levin | 223517 | ||
Doc, Somewhere along the way we lost communication. I never said that mikveh and baptism are the same. I agree that baptism is symbolic of seeing ourselves in Messiah's death, burial, resurrection, and for that reason I believe that the "baptism" John was doing was a mikveh associated with teshuvah - changing one's direction, way of living, thinking. We're talking about a Jew doing a Jewish ritual to/with Jews. How could he have baptised into something that hadn't happened yet? I simply stated that the mikveh wasn't JUST for repentance of sins. It could have been done for Messiah as He was leaving one lifestyle behind (that of son, brother and carpenter) for another (His public ministry), Just because He was among a group of people who were turning back to God doens't mean that that has to be the reason He was there. |

6 | Crusifixtion a sacrafice? John 3:16 | Bible general Archive 4 | ariel levin | 223639 | ||
Shalom G Preston You said, "I do have trouble with your concluding theory however. To suggest He experienced ...'spiritual'... death conflicts with the meaning of the second death because of sinfulness. He never sinned" I thought that that was what the sacrifice was all about. The Savior never sinned but He took our sins upon Himself and paid the FULL price, which includes the second death, the death of separation from the Father. The fact that He did not remain spiritually separated from the Father is also what procures our FULL, complete, eternal redemption. It is this second death, this eternal separation from God that we are saved from. This is our hope and confidence, not a trouble free life, not escape from physical death, but an eternity in the presence of our God. (Scripture to this effect have already been posted within this thread.) |

7 | Crusifixtion a sacrafice? John 3:16 | Bible general Archive 4 | ariel levin | 223647 | ||
G Preston Me spinning? I don't think so. The only thing I spin is a dreidle in hopes that it lands on gimmel!! :o) Return to the beginnings in Leviticus and study about the sacrifices (as they were a foreshadow of that which was to come) and you'll see that the sins of the worshipper were symbolically transferred to the animal by the laying on of hands. (Now we understand that at this point the whole thing had to be symbolism as man had no way to literally transfer his sins to anyone or anything.) But now God is here in the flesh, the Sacrifice can now be done as it was symbolized and be done once for all. For the sacrifice the Lord made for us to be viable He had to take on the sins of the world (and I don't think He had them all neatly bundled up in a grocery bag on the ground). No symbolism here, He took our sins into death with Him, broke the power of sin and rose triumphant. |

Shalom dear Sister, Copying and pasting certainly would be the smartest thing to do - but smart doesn't always show up at 2am, hehehe. And I'm very guilty of not doing the smart thing even at 2pm. :o) |

10 | The error addressed in 2 Peter | Bible general Archive 4 | ariel levin | 224777 | ||
Dear Beja, You're talking to a Torah-observant follower of Messiah! Of course I quote James 2:14-24 and Rev. 19:8 quite often. Even adding love to the equation is hollow if there are no works to show that faith and love. I don't intend to be naked in the world to come! Unfortunately, I do believe that there are many christians who do believe that because we are under grace we don't need to worry about sin - that somehow we are immune to it or the Holy Spirit just won't let us do the deed, but that is foolishness. I think Peter was warning against such folly. Shalom |

12 | Why different directions required | Bible general Archive 4 | ariel levin | 225791 | ||
Azure, I figured it was Lev. but wanted to make sure. I have a Jewish study bible based primarily on the commentary of Rashi (along with some others)and I checked it. Unfortunately, there are no study notes on those particular verses as to the reasoning behind the directions. Knowing how the rabbis studied the Torah, I'm sure that question has been asked and covered somewhere in their writings, I'm just not sure where... Perhaps someone else can help find a answer for you. :o) Sorry, I couldn't help. |

13 | Why different directions required | Bible general Archive 4 | ariel levin | 225797 | ||
Azure, I did some googling and did come up with this little nugget: The Temple: Its Ministry and Services Alfred Edersheim Chapter 5 Sacrifices: Their Order and Their Meaning The Acts of Sacrifice The Rabbis mention the following five acts as belonging to the offerer of a sacrifice: the laying on of hands, slaying, skinning, cutting up, and washing the inwards. These other five were strictly priestly functions: catching up the blood, sprinkling it, lighting the altar fire, laying on the wood, bringing up the pieces, and all else done at the altar itself. The whole service must have been exceedingly solemn. Having first been duly purified, a man brought his sacrifice himself 'before the Lord'—, to 'the door of the Tabernacle' (Lev 1:3; 4:4), where the altar of burnt-offering was (Exo 40:6), and in the Temple into the Great Court. If the sacrifice was most holy, he entered by the northern; if less holy, by the southern gate. Next he placed it so as to face the west, or the Most Holy Place, in order thus literally to bring it before the Lord. To this the apostle refers when, in Romans 12:1, he beseecheth us to present our 'bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God.' It's not much, but it's a start? |

Beja, Many have been the times that a few trivia questions have been the embers that sparked a true interest in the subject. And sometimes a few trivia questions will be just the medicine after an in-depth study. I would hope we are not too stuffy to find pleasure and joy in finding the answers to what may be mundane to us. Let God's shalom rule in your heart. |

15 | why are the twelve tribes of isreal diff | Bible general Archive 4 | ariel levin | 225846 | ||
Makarios, Wouldn't another reason for the differences be that after Mt Sinai, the Levites were no longer counted among Israel as a "tribe" because they had been placed apart as to God? Therefore, aside from the prophecy of double portion going to Joseph, i.e. Manasseh and Ephraim, these two were counted as 2 tribes then brought back together as one single tribe to make room for the tribe of Joseph (or is Ephraim counted among Joseph's tribe? Never thought of this before?), and also the Levites were restored and counted among Israel. |

16 | What is "entering into God's rest?" | NT general | ariel levin | 224961 | ||
Shalom Inquisitor, According to Revelation, it doesn't seem that heaven is our final destination, just a connecting bus ride. After a minute in heaven, we return to the old earth during the millenium or to the New Earth (which has its own New Heavens). We were created from the earth for the earth, we're not heavenly beings. In the Bible, God doesn't do things that are not necessary, so why would He create a New Earth when all we need is heaven? We're bound for the New Jerusalem on the New Earth!! (Or are you equationg heaven with that?) Thank you :o) |

BradK, There seems to be a problem. What is the New Earth for or which is it, old heaven, for a new heaven certainly isn't necessary or New Earth? I'm not arguing, this is a valid question, for we are told both - but both can't be. Paul says one thing, John something else. |

20 | Ruling and Reigning | Gen 1:26 | ariel levin | 224983 | ||
Stjohn, I'm assuming this is to me? I saw it as I was reading down the page. r snf r was a typo, left hand fingers in the wrong place. It was supposed to be r and r (for ruling and reinging) because the software won't allow apersands. When asking a question it wouldn't be too wise of me to try to be mysterious (just a poor typist sometimes). Sorry. :o) Oh, and to respond to your question of why not both - doesn't the old earth get burned up to nothingness, or is it just to a crisp, to be useable sometime later maybe? |
