Hello yonder.... Thank you for your advice. By the way sir, your comments about my character and Bible study practices are quite presumptuous, and, incorrect. If I were you, I'd be very careful calling myself a prophet! No harm intended, just pointing out the facts. Respectfully. God bless John |

He hates it. Even when it is justified. In his reveled nature, He would prefer it if restitution is sought and attained. God is a restorer of things, it is His will that none should perish, "and the two became one flesh," Type the word [restore] in the get Bible text search word(s): box, and see how many times it comes up in Scripture. Then read all 116 verses. God bless John |

10 | Does separation from God mean no love? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 196398 | ||
Hi Scooter, Well, the things you mention as being "mixed" with love, are not love. The later three, they are emotions; now that's not to say that love does not evoke emotion, man, does it ever! But the love that is being spoken of in the Bible, is not the kind of love you would normaly mix with those negative kinds of emotions, envy, greed, jealousy, etc. and, "perversion" is another issue altogether, perversion stems form a desire to have un-biblical or, i.e. sex outside of the guidelines set-forth by God, that is also a part of what is called erotic love, or Eros, I think in greek, that is not love, that is a misunderstanding that man has adopted, and is quite popular, [unfortunately]; what that is, is lust! Agape love, which is pure love, cannot be experienced apart from God. Here is something els that may help you. God bless John : Easton's Bible Dictionary LOVE This word seems to require explanation only in the case of its use by our Lord in his interview with "Simon, the son of Jonas," after his resurrection (John 21:16, 17). When our Lord says, "Lovest thou me?" he uses the Greek word _agapas_; and when Simon answers, he uses the Greek word _philo_, i.e., "I love." This is the usage in the first and second questions put by our Lord; but in the third our Lord uses Simon's word. The distinction between these two Greek words is thus fitly described by Trench:, "_Agapan_ has more of judgment and deliberate choice; _philein_ has more of attachment and peculiar personal affection. Thus the 'Lovest thou' (Gr. agapas) on the lips of the Lord seems to Peter at this moment too cold a word, as though his Lord were keeping him at a distance, or at least not inviting him to draw near, as in the passionate yearning of his heart he desired now to do. Therefore he puts by the word and substitutes his own stronger 'I love' (Gr. philo) in its room. A second time he does the same. And now he has conquered; for when the Lord demands a third time whether he loves him, he does it in the word which alone will satisfy Peter ('Lovest thou,' Gr. phileis), which alone claims from him that personal attachment and affection with which indeed he knows that his heart is full." In 1 Corinthians 13 the apostle sets forth the excellency of love, as the word "charity" there is rendered in the Revised Version. |

Amen Doc! Much of the first part of Matt 7 is a clear call for very careful discernment in judging others; but in v 6 our Lord is also, clearly, instructing us not to have anything to do with dogs and pigs, and, certainly he is not speaking about literal dogs, or pigs, He is speaking about people. This poses a very important question; how are we to know the difference? Verse 7-8 have been misinterpreted, for a "grab bag" for all kinds of wonderful gifts and blessings, but here I believe our Lord, is telling us to study the Word, and mostly pray for discernment, so that we can make that judgment. Would our Father give us a snake? Just my 2 pennies worth. God bless John |

Hi Doc, You said in your post, "I'm not arguing" Well Brother; I sure cant see even a, hint of an argument! We are in total agreement! Scripture pants a fuzzy line at best, between the two! :-) I can see now that perhaps my post was too terse, that was pretty much what I was trying to say. Anyway thanks for the info, Doc, it does add a good deal to my understanding of the two, i,e. I don't really understand! :-) God bless John |

Hi Cheri, Your welcome; also, I read somewhere, [may have been the same place] that it was because of there incestuous relationship with Israel through the incest of Lot's daughters, that, that was the reason for God's rejection of them. God bless John |

16 | Ammonites and Moabites today? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 196911 | ||
Amen Brother, I had to think about that myself and went back to the books. :-) After returning to my studies, I soon realized that that probably was indeed the case, and when returning was glad too, to find your post. The argument for this assertion, [i.e. God was rejecting them becaus of incest], is indeed quite thin, against it, is one fact that God had not given the law yet when Lot's daughters manipulated the situation to repopulate a world they thought was, void of other men. Although that could be, but not easily supported ether, I don't think. However, in favor, it is thought that God's rejection was after the law had been given. That's a pretty thin argument as well I think, and also, not supported by scripture, like you said, and I agree; even if it was, [i.e. suported by scripture] and, 'one' of the reasons, [which is speculative] it was one of many reasons, as you pointed out. Probably should have qualified my post with an, [of corse this is a theory], or something, but then I wouldn't have had the benefit of your post, with more incite on the subject. Thanks for your time Brother Doc! Me like kosher salt! :-) God bless John |

hey Doc, That was 'insight' by the way, not, 'incite', oops! although, my typo still applies to you, and the Spirit, in you, my friend,... [incite] to stir, encourage, or urge on; stimulate or prompt to action: Thanks Doc.... |

18 | "all good things come to those who wait" | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 197192 | ||
Hello Jamie Lynn, A warm welcome to the forum! It's encouraging to see you studying with Sister and Mom! :-) I thought I'd do a search on, ["those who wait"] in the, Search word(s) box, under the, Get Bible Text, to the right of your screen. After reading your question, and Brother Tim's response, it reminded me that I have often heard that expression. As a boy, from my mom, from teachers, and as an adult I still hear it from time to time. When we read the Scriptures that describe the "good things" that do come to those who wait, it's easy to see how this expression came to be popular among Christians. Here's some more Scriptures that you may want to share with Mom and Sis. God bless John [emphasis in CAPS is mine] : Hope you enjoy the forum! Ps 25:3 Indeed, none of those who WAIT for You will be ashamed; Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed. Ps 37:9 For evildoers will be cut off, But those who WAIT for the LORD, they will inherit the land. Ps 69:6 May those who WAIT for You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts; May those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel, Ps 119:74 May those who fear You see me and be glad, Because I WAIT for Your word. Ps 147:11 The LORD favors those who fear Him, Those who WAIT for His lovingkindness. Is 40:31 Yet those who WAIT for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary. Lam 3:25 The LORD is good to those who WAIT for Him, To the person who seeks Him. |

Hi Dr. Steeno Pardon me sir but you have me kinda confused. Are you suggesting that somehow the cross has rendered the Lords pryer inconsequential and ineffective because of Christ's work on the Cross? And that somehow God is not going to look with favor and Grace and Mercy at a penitent heart? I would suggest, If I may, that you read Ps 51 with special attention to verse 17 "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise." I don't think Our Father who art in Heaven, minds at all when we confess "with contrition"! Even in a court of law, a confession with no sign of sorrow often leads to a maximum sentence! Oh no my friend, contrition, is always good for the soul! God bless John |

Dear Dr. Steeno, We know that Jesus' suffered in our place and made it possible for us to have our sins taken away, and so, we can have fellowship with God. We also know that we must confess our sins in order for our sins to be forgiven, that is we must turn away from sin and turn too God (i.e. repentance) We know too that God looks at the heart, and to suggest that, "asking for forgiveness," will somehow, "insult God," just because we know that the work has already been done for that to be possible, would render repentance as nothing but a mechanical act with no heart in it at all. Read the story of the prodigal son my friend and see how God feels about one of His own falling away in sin and living as the world, and then seeing his sin, and asking his Father, with a penitent heart, to take him back. Luke 15:20 "So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him." It's a two way street my friend, yes, the work of The Cross is past tense, but that work is still being done today in the heart of the believer, and it depends on wether we ask for forgiveness. Confession, without contrition, is only a mechanical act, and really, no confession at all. God judges the heart, not just the words, words without love, are just noise. Rom 12:9 1 Cor 13:1 God bless John |
