2 | What of Baptism? | Bible general Archive 2 | ominous | 153602 | ||
did you even read the scriptures i posted? basptism is a symbol of faith, not a means for salvation. yes faith is necessary for salvation, faith in christ, but you are not doomed for non-baptism. mark 16:17 said we would speak in tongues, do you also believe that we are doomed if we dont speak in tongues? 1 corinthians 12 said not all would do so. i simply mean that baptism is not necessary for redemption. not by works, lest any one should boast! | ||||||

when the church was originally formed, it was for the most part one body. sure there were little sects on this and that, but to me the teachings were more unified; as the doctrine was "new" to most. but now! there hundereds of sects. all claiming to be the "truth" i have not found one particular denomonation whose doctrine i fully agree with. my doctrine is the bible, and if you look at most denominations they stem from some disagreement that caused them to branch off from another.paul said that the body was to be unified, of one mind, "beware the concision" he warned. so for me to be baptised into this or that denomination it would be necessary for me to conform fully to its teachings. and i just havent found that yet.don't misunderstand i am a conservative christian. and do teach my children, and tell them of christ and his gift of love toward us. 1 john 4:1 tells us that we should investigate to be sure: as paul said that we are convinced in our own minds; to me this implies investigation. so thats my main "hinderance" from being baptised. and as a result, i do not feel that this is disobedience but the opposite! i take this very seriously, and christ has wrought great works in my life; as i look to him to guide me, so i do not feel that this discretion is counted as error toward me. i really love the fact that you all are so passionate. | ||||||

i never said that i was'nt baptized. my parents had me baptized as a child, then i did it again as a teenager. but i later started studying and enjoying the truth that i found in the scriptures. let me ask a question; in rev 5:10 it tells us that christ made us kings and priests, doing away with the levitical priesthood. is it then not acceptable for one to baptize the members of his own house in the name of christ? | ||||||
5 | The Interpreation of #'s | Bible general Archive 2 | ominous | 153668 | ||
the biblical understanding of numbers comes mostly from writings not found in our bible. the kabalah is the most common place to find them. 5 reps. power, severity, or judgement. 3 does not really rep. the holy trinity, rather the trinity is an expression of three. three is understanding.one is the head or crown, which reps. god, two is wisdom symbolized by the reflection of god, three is understanding which is expressed as a woman; the wife of two. the union or marriage of two and three, resulting in creation.easily inderstood as the father, son, and holy spirit. | ||||||

okay guys, i am not recomending kabalah to anyone. he asked a question, concerning numerology, he stated that seven represented completion, there are no biblical teachings on numerology, the only place i ever came across numerical symbology defined was in kabalistic writings. i am not practicing it or condoning it i was merely trying to answer his question. of course over the years i have come in contact with it as well as many other things, as i'm sure many of you have. i know the teachings of the bible are supreme, and not to be mingled with other phylosophy. and by the way to whoever wrote that all scripture was to be taken literally, your wrong! do you really expect a seven headed dragon to come out of the ocean? you guys sure are judgmental. | ||||||

2 peter 2:2, hebrews 5:12-14,(meat and strong meat are in this case allegories for knowledge,useable according to age and,or development) as i said i do not mix doctrine. but i believe that if you have strong root in christ, then you can discerne between good and evil,and not fear error.it is written that we have an unction to know all things, and again that we have the mind of christ.if never exposed to evil, then how would you know good? never did i say that the spirit of god had to depend on any thing occult. those are your words. if you read the original question, it was not really scripture based. besides a reference to the seven days of creation; so how can i answer it with scripture? how would you have answered it? or would you have not responded at all? the interpretation of #'s | ||||||
8 | Noah took 7 clean but only 2 unclean ? | Gen 9:3 | ominous | 153703 | ||
matt 5:17-19 there is much to say concerning this but right now i must defend myself, as i'm being attacked, and my "christian-ness" questioned. but your right! talk more later. | ||||||
9 | Noah took 7 clean but only 2 unclean ? | Gen 9:3 | ominous | 153787 | ||
thanx, you are right about that, the new and old testaments don't contradict each other, not only regarding clean and unclean animals, on anything!as god cannot contradict himself. some times there are misunderstandings because of translation problems. example; exodus 20:13, thou shalt not kill; then dueteronomy 19:21,life for life,eye for eye; the original word in hebrew translated as "kill" in english, is murder. as in premeditated. you don't just take everything at face value, i like that! if you really want the truth you sometimes have to dig, and most people don't want to do that! but in genesis 3:19 god said, in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread. | ||||||

Hey Swerv, concerning the sabbath, according to ancient tradition, niether saturday or sunday is actually correct. Our calander is based off of the sun, and God originally used the moon as an indicator. As in Genisis 1:5,the day began at night fall, since darkness preceeded light. "The evening and the morning were the fist day". Originally we used the new moon to mark the first day of the month, which the night of the new moon was a sabbath, then we would count the days, the seventh being the sabbath, but with our modern calander, the day of the week on which the sabbath falls varies from month to month.Ezekiel 46:1,Amos 8:5,Ezra 3:5, Hosea 2:11, all prove that the new moon was a Holy Day. Technically Sunday is the first day of the week. But as Paul said in Colossians 2:16, no man can judge you wether you keep these days holy or not; Romans 14:5. The most important thing now is to get ourselves right with the Lord! Which brings us to the next subject, repentance;To make a change for the better as a result of remorse or contrition for one's sins. Jesus had a message; repent and sin no more! Luke 13:3, John 5:14, John 8:11. 1John 3:4 tells us that sin is transgression of the law! Mathew 5:17 tells us that the law is in effect, verse 19 says we should not teach that the law is null and void. Also in Isaiah 66:22-23, God says that we will keep the sabbath (law) in the Kingdom. Christ took away the penalty of the law, which is death; bringing grace. not the law itself. For he is the will of the father in the flesh, and as the scripture says; Can two walk together, except they be agreed? | ||||||

12 | Divorce: believer or unbeliever | Matt 19:8 | ominous | 153586 | ||
she is to remain unmarried, as a fellow christian is to treat her as a sister 1timothy 5:1-2. and i doubt she would want to marry another unbeliever. or she must be reconciled to her husband. remember also what jesus said to the samaritan woman john 4:15-18 | ||||||

thanks for the response kalos, aside from the opinions of interpreters, isnt it plausible that the antichrist is not necessarily one man but a nation or power structure? or even a system? as when stated in revelations 1316-17 that those who would not recieve the mark... now to have a "mark" in your forehead or right hand could this not symbolize concurrence with, or support of a system, or philsophy? as in your forehead could mean, to "believe" and right hand, to "uphold"? i know there are many folds to the scriptures, as things tend to cycle back around as said in ecclesiastes 1:9 "the thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." also note that it says in revelations 13:18, " let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man," does not necessarily mean an individual man, as the number six also signifies the day in which man was made. no contention, just curiousity; as i have always been one to seek, and not follow. oominous. | ||||||

you obviously only get what you want to get out of posts on this forum! do you lack simple comprehension? you blow YOUR horn loud enough to drown out every one else. i was not dismissing anything that interpreters of times past have said, but as you should know, man can only observe what happens in his lifetime! just as daniel couldn't fully understand his visions because they had not been played out yet! and besides, i have adressed you personally at least twice with no response, it seems you only try to stab people when their back is turned to you. but i'm not suprised, it seems you dont process most of what you read! ominous | ||||||
15 | What is the abomination of desolation? | Matt 24:15 | ominous | 157650 | ||
well, not all biblical writings are allegorical; but many of them are. the red dragon in revelations, and the beasts in daniel, are all allegorical representations of future events! empires to be exact! Christ himself taught in parables to the masses. and who is it as you say, that presents it as factual information? is it not yourselves? as i have said, and grow weary of saying; i only asked a question! to get feed back, not patronized. | ||||||
16 | What is the abomination of desolation? | Matt 24:15 | ominous | 157651 | ||
first off i did not suggest that anything had to do with any one person. that was the comment of someone else. second, since there is no temple now, and there are plans to build one, are the two not connected? that is the new temple may serve as the platform for these things to occur? | ||||||

you guys are the modern day pharisses and sadducees! go report that hank. | ||||||
18 | What is the abomination of desolation? | Matt 24:15 | ominous | 157655 | ||
p.s. just because something is not to be taken literally, doesn't mean its not factual! or shall we look for a seven headed dragon to rise out of the ocean? | ||||||
19 | What is the abomination of desolation? | Matt 24:15 | ominous | 157662 | ||
that's all i was implying. thank you. | ||||||
20 | What is the abomination of desolation? | Matt 24:15 | ominous | 157671 | ||
no! i think it would be unwise to be confident in my salvation. as we all have things to work on in ourselves. even if we don't offend outwardly (in actions), we still offend inwardly (in thoughts). we must continually strive for improvement, but i am confident, in the hope, that i might be saved! it's the Lord's way of keeping us humble. the more we read (and contemplate), the more we realize that we need work! i hope i am understanding your question. | ||||||
