So, I invite you to e-mail me again on your question if you want to exchange some points on that very delicate subject. | ||||||
3 | What form will our bodies be in heaven? | NT general Archive 1 | richilou | 10980 | ||
But I think that the question would need deeper thought than that. I agree with what you say, but many times, theological thinking is required and it is for that very reason I have suggested to the person to read the book of Murray J. Harris on resurrection: "From the Grave to Glory". | ||||||
4 | Was Jesus a reformer? | NT general Archive 1 | richilou | 11060 | ||
I agree with you Hank. | ||||||
5 | Was Jesus a reformer? | NT general Archive 1 | richilou | 11058 | ||
Good point Sam, and I would add concerning the fact that man has always been willing to redifine God and His will that Norman Geisler has written a good book on that very subject: "Creating God in the image of man!" | ||||||
6 | Were the Apostles theologians? | NT general Archive 1 | richilou | 11066 | ||
I think you missed the question of our friend. You used the word "theoreticians" while he spoke of "theologians". Maybe it is just an error of typing of your own. If this is the case, then forget what I said. | ||||||
7 | What is the purpose of this Bible | NT general Archive 1 | richilou | 11069 | ||
The answer you gave is exactly what I thought in myself and I think that we have to much people thinking that they are THE reference when we talk about a particular subject that doesn't fit their opinion. Good point my friend. | ||||||
8 | Whatever happened to Joseph?? | NT general Archive 1 | richilou | 11133 | ||
I would like you to remember that the person had said that we could answer by e-mail. Therefore, I just answered according to a possibility that was offered. | ||||||
9 | opinion in NET Bible (cf. www.bible.org) | Gen 1:26 | richilou | 11140 | ||
I don't really think that the concept of plural of majesty has to be retained here. | ||||||
10 | Did Jephthah sacrifice his daughter? | Judg 11:31 | richilou | 11097 | ||
It is, as you said, much debated. But for another option to explain the text (without saying that it is truer) it would be good if you could read what Gleason Archer had to say about that in his book: "Introduction to the Old Testament". | ||||||
11 | Did Jephthah sacrifice his daughter? | Judg 11:31 | richilou | 11099 | ||
It is the position of the Dr. Gleason Archer in his "Introduction to the Old Testament. | ||||||

16 | WAS JESUS FORSAKEN BY HIS FATHER? | Matt 27:46 | richilou | 41020 | ||
I think the answer is good and concise. The fact is to keep in mind that in theology, we call it the doctrine of substitution. That is to say that for a short period of time in eternity, God the Father saw His Son as the greatest sinner in all the human history in order to get salvation for all the elect. Now, He was the Son of God even though He was abandoned for a while. The issue is rather that as a Son He was abandoned for our salvation. | ||||||
17 | WAS JESUS FORSAKEN BY HIS FATHER? | Matt 27:46 | richilou | 41070 | ||
Ok my dear friend. I think that an illustration will help you to understand the idea I had in mind in my previous note. One day Jesus said: "I am the door". Was He really a literal door to enter a house? Of course not. It was another way of saying: "I am the One through whom you will find the way of eternal life", right? When we say that Jesus has been forsaken by His Father it is in the sense that Jesus had no way out to escape the situation because it was the one planned by God from all eternity past. And this situation was the terrible fire of God expressing His holy wrath against sin. Keep in mind that He was bearing on His shoulders not so much an abandonement of God as such, but rather He was there to be punished for our sins. It is in that way that God was forsaking Him. Another important thing is this. If Jesus would have not been really forsaken, His cry to His Father would have become inconsistent with His real feeling and would have been in vain. By the way, it was not just a false feeling that He manifested in words, it was a reality that was happening in His body and mind. We can say what you referred to to prove that God never forsake when you said the words: "I will never leave you nor forsake you...". But here, watch out! The comparison with what God said in that last passage and the situation of the cross are not to be compared at all. The reality of what happened on the cross was the reality of what happened in the heart of Jesus as I said. He felt abandoned because He was, period; not because He was out of control of His words being in a state of suffering, even terribly. So it is in that sense that God forsake Jesus. We must understand the sense rather than trying to reason the words. | ||||||
18 | WAS JESUS FORSAKEN BY HIS FATHER? | Matt 27:46 | richilou | 41208 | ||
My brother, I think you misinterpreted what I meant when I wrote. It is often like that anyway among christians. Being a preacher and teacher of theology I know what I am talking about. Of course I do not believe Jesus was held by some poor nails He created Himself. All I can say is to tell you that you would have to study the doctrine of substitution more deeply. A good verse for that as a starting point could be Isa. 59.1-2. Immediately, I take care to warn you that you will say: "Wait a minute! The question here doesn't concern the separation of Jesus from God". On that point I would agree with you, but if you read the reason of the separation, you see that it is sin that causes it. Moreover, you know as myself that Jesus has been made sin for us (2 Cor. 5.21). In conclusion, you asked me to explain how Jesus could be separated from His Father being God Himself. Once again, if you look at it in that perspective, I agree with you. But the issue here is not that I believe in a split within the Godhead or His deity. It is rather a separation as a momentarily "being made sin for us" (2 Cor. 5.21). In fact, I think we believe the same thing. The problem is that you talk about it in a perspective and I talk about it in another. I will not come back with you on that. We are there to edify one another and all those who read us, not to undergo a dispute of words as Paul said. | ||||||
19 | WAS JESUS FORSAKEN BY HIS FATHER? | Matt 27:46 | richilou | 41210 | ||
I think it is an intellectual distorsion of what the Bible said concerning a reality. | ||||||
20 | Holy Spirit baptism and tongues | Mark 9:24 | richilou | 10590 | ||
The only thing I would add to your comments is that when Paul is talking about the language of angels, you must keep in mind that the context is to teach the Corinthians to understand the "goal" of tongues and not the different aspects of what the Spirit can do. And if you read well the text, the goal of Paul is to put the Corinthians on the right track concerning the "GOAL" of tongues which is the edification of the body of Christ. So, I ask you 2 simple questions. 1. How can I edify a church when I pray alone in my room or wherever else? 2. Where do you find elswhere in the whole Bible the concept of "praying in tongue"? Paul taught on the speaking in tongue, and used the prayer in tongue as a point of contact to explain that the practice is not profitable to the "GOAL" of God for the church, because it would be only useful in private (like in a prayer life) and it is exactly why Paul admonished so hard the practice of private goal in neglecting the right goal that was the edification of the other christians. |
