1 | what happened ? | Bible general Archive 2 | terrib | 110820 | ||
Dearest bloodofjesus, (Rom 11:28 KJV) As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. Paul uses the term enemies here because they rejected The Christ. (Mat 12:30 KJV) He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. You asked, "Also does the scriptures guarantee jews salvation even though they were cut off but can be grafted back on?" First of all: (Rom 2:28 KJV) For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: (Rom 2:29 KJV) But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. Paul uses the term "and not in the letter", meaning not necessarily through Abrahm. For God's chosen people were called stiff-necked, even as they came out of boundage from Egypt. They called Jesus a bastard and proclaim their haughtiness by Saying "We are of Abraham" (i.e. We know who our father is) because they new Mary was not married as yet to Joseph. (Rom 11:25 KJV) For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. (Rom 11:26 KJV) And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: (Rom 11:27 KJV) For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. (And this was fulfilled at the cross) Israel ( the people of the covenant) will be grafted back into the Root (Rom 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.) after "the fulness of the Gentiles" and as with all creatures, "whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved". (Note: "if they abide not still in unbelief") Blindness is still on many there for they do not regard the New Testament and are still waiting for the Messiah. And yet many have been grafted back into the Root for their faith in Christ. And seeing this we should see that That Day is closer now than when we first believed. Not all Gentiles will call upon the name of the Lord and so not all Israel will call upon the name of the Lord, but God has taken away their sin through Christ on the cross. All they have to do is accept that and they will be saved just like anyone else. But as to the "Total Nation of Israel" being saved (as some say) it is as with the great Exodus, not all entered into the promised land. It is through Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, that they will be saved if they call upon Him. (Joh 14:6 KJV) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. No one, Jew or Gentile, can enter the kingdom except through Christ. My Pastor used to have a saying, "Going to church does not make you a Christian anymore than standing in a garage makes you a Pontiac." terrib |

3 | What is a patron saint? | Bible general Archive 2 | terrib | 153090 | ||
Hi Emmaus, I think I read someplace that a canonized saint was exempt from purgatory and before they could be canonized it had to be proven that they had performed a number of miracles and that after canonization the rest of christendom was then allowed to pray to them for intercession to God. Is this true? Do you have a link where I could view this? terrib |

Hi Emmaus, Thanks for the link. At the bottom of the article (paragraph 6) it is written, "Canonization is understood as the concession of public worship in the Universal Church." What exactly does that mean - public worship? terrib |

Hi Emmaus, Again, thanks for the link to 'saint worship'. The explanation was very interesting. Since the document, "Canonization Process", (your first link), was written in English there was no need for the Hebrew definition of worship (shachah), although I did benefit from that also. It is good to know the author didn't mean worship (proskuneo). I know that within the Christian church and among the different denominations sometimes words have different meanings. So, I have also been viewing different religions and their meanings of the same words. still learning, terrib |

9 | Are there angels before earth was formed | Gen 1:1 | terrib | 147884 | ||
Greetings 29602004, Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. The plural of heaven is used here because God seperated the firmament into various parts. Reference Genesis 1:1 where it is singular, "the heaven and the earth". Host here refers to all the things that were created, sun, moon, stars, planets, plants, animals and humans. Also the words are, [sh âm ayîm], "skies", being the "high" or [(sh am ay), "be high", in Arabic] being "airy" region; the overarching dome of space, with all its revolving orbs. Thus it has to do with the visible elements of our universe. Deu 23:9 When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing. Host here refers to the encampment of men that will fight. The armies of Israel. Psa 27:3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. Host here again refers to an army of human enemies, not angels. If it refered to angels then David would fear because then he would know that God was against him. Psa 33:16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. Host here refers to the amount of military strength that a king might have. He may be at the head of a numerous army, and yet not get the victory over a lesser one. Psa 103:21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. His armies; the vast multitudes of holy beings (angels), arranged and marshalled as hosts for battle, in all parts of the universe. Ye ministers of his - The same beings referred to by the word “hosts,” and all others who may be employed in executing his will. The “hosts” or armies of the Lord are thus marshalled that they may “do his pleasure,” or that they may execute his purposes. We have to be careful when we read some of the words that have different meanings. The need to view the entire thought of the verse and the context into which it is laid. If one is talking about going to battle and say that a host also will go, I am not talking about angels but an encampment of people. From what we are given in the Scriptures, we know that God created the angels. The Scriptures do not tell us exactly when they were created. All inferences in the Scriptures lead us to the presumption they were in existance before the heaven and the earth were created. For nowhere does it discuss their time of creation. As for a short thesis I would offer this: God is Holy, a word we don't see much of, and He will not accept anything unholy. Satan rebelled against God and left his first estate and took with him some of the angels. In God's devine wisdom and justice he had to have a judicial way to pass His judgement on such an unholy rebellion. God, in His wisdom and mercy created the world and man, a lower form of creature than the angels, as Satan is, as a way to pass this devine justice upon Satan. That man, a lowly creature could and would be the instrument that would judge Satan in the end. For justice could not just destroy that which was created and mercy would not be served. By giving His Son to come into the world and show this lowly creature, man, the majesty and fairness of the Lord God, the triumph of man, Jesus, would pass judgement on the principalities of evil. Are we pawns, well some might look at it that way, but we are the creation of the Holy God, in His image, having been given some of His attributes. Though it is not just a whim on His part but He loves all His creations and He sees in us the potential to be the best of all His creations for all times. And being the clay, we have no right to ask why the potter made us this way. The riches and mercies, the justice and holiness of God can not be uttered by human words but by gronings within the spirit of the man. As Scripture states, we wrestle against principalities and powers, and we will overcome and the scales will be balanced forever more. Thank you Father for Jesus, our savour. Amen. terrib P.S.

10 | WHAT IS THE FISRT LIGHT? GENESIS 1:3 | Gen 1:3 | terrib | 146552 | ||
The use of "the morning and the evening" denotes in itself a time frame and it has to be related to something and in this instance it would have to be in connection with the light that was created. A variation of light intensity. This is why I suggested the rotation of the deep. This is when days (or 24 hours as we know them) started to be counted. For it says in six "days" He created the heavens and the Earth and the works therein. Also what we know as "time". Take away the physical laws (as we now them) that God has put in motion and there is no time. From everlasting to everlasting. The best to you in your adventure. terrib |

Hey Kalos, "'Answer: Cherubim / cherubs are angelic beings" : No, they are Cherubimic beings. Unless by the term "angelic" it is meant heavenly. "Prior to his rebellion Satan was a cherub (Ezekiel 28:12-15)." Eze 28:12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD;..." This is speaking of the king of Tyrus. Ezekiel 28:12-15 does not mention Satan. Come on Kalos, you know that is talking in a similtude. If we took that kind of allegory then God was a chicken for Scripture tell us : Psa 91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Where in Scripture does it say angels have wings? Where in Scripture does it say Cherubims are angels? Your brother, terrib |

Hi Tim, Eze 28:11-19 1. What was the renown of the king of Tyre. He is here spoken of as having lived in great splendour, Eze 28:12-15. He as a man, but it is here owned that he was a very considerable man and one that made a mighty figure in his day. (1.) He far exceeded other men. He was looked upon to be as wise as the reason of men could make him, and as happy as the wealth of this world and the enjoyment of it could make him; in him you might see the utmost that both could do; and therefore seal up the sum, for nothing can be added; he is a complete man, perfect in suo genere - in his kind. (2.) He seemed to be as wise and happy as Adam in innocency (Eze 28:13): “Thou hast been in Eden, even in the garden of God; thou hast lived as it were in paradise all thy days, hast had a full enjoyment of every thing that is good for food or pleasant to the eyes, and an uncontroverted dominion over all about thee, as Adam had.” One instance of the magnificence of the king of Tyre is, that he outdid all others princes in jewels, which those have the greatest plenty of that trade most abroad, as he did: Every precious stone was his covering. There is a great variety of precious stones; but he had of every sort and in such plenty that besides what were treasured up in his cabinet, and were the ornaments of his crown, he had his clothes trimmed with them; they were his covering. Nay (Eze 28:14), he walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire, that is, these precious stones, which glittered and sparkled like fire. His rooms were in a manner set round with jewels, so that he walked in the midst of them, and then fancied himself as glorious as if, like God, he had been surrounded by so many angels, who are compared to a flame of fire. And, if he be such an admirer of precious stones as to think them as bright as angels, no wonder that he is such an admirer of himself as to think himself as great as God. Nine several sorts of previous stones are here named, which were all in the high priest's ephod. Perhaps they are particularly named because he, in his pride, used to speak particularly of them, and tell those about him, with a great deal of foolish pleasure, “This is such a precious stone, of such a value, and so and so are its virtues.” Thus is he upbraided with his vanity. Gold is mentioned last, as far inferior in value to those precious stones; and he used to speak of it accordingly. Another thing that made him think his palace a paradise was the curious music he had, the tabrets and pipes, hand-instruments and wind-instruments. The workmanship of these was extraordinary, and they were prepared for him on purpose; prepared in thee, the pronoun is feminine - in thee, O Tyre! or it denotes that the king was effeminate in doting on such things. They were prepared in the day he was created, that is, either born, or created king; they were made on purpose to celebrate the joys either of his birthday or of his coronation-day. These he prided himself much in, and would have all that came to see his palace take notice of them. (3.) He looked like an incarnate angel (Eze 28:14): Thou art the anointed cherub that covers or protects; that is, he looked upon himself as a guardian angel to his people, so bright, so strong, so faithful, appointed to this office and qualified for it. Anointed kings should be to their subjects as anointed cherubim, that cover them with the wings of their power; and, when they are such, God will own them. Their advancement was from him: I have set thee so. Some think, because mention was made of Eden, that it refers to the cherub set on the east of Eden to cover it, Gen 3:24. He thought himself as able to guard his city from all invaders as that angel was for his charge. Or it may refer to the cherubim in the most holy place, whose wings covered the ark; he thought himself as bright as one of them. (4.) He appeared in as much splendour as the high priest when he was clothed with his garments for glory and beauty: “Thou wast upon the holy mountain of God, as president of the temple built on that holy mountain; thou didst look as great, and with as much majesty and authority, as ever the high priest did when he walked in the temple, which was garnished with precious stones (2Ch 3:6), and had his habit on, which had precious stones both in the breast and on the shoulders; in that he seemed to walk in the midst of the stones of fire.” Thus glorious is the king of Tyre; at least he thinks himself so. - Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible - So from commentary to commentary we go.

Hi umagumadog, Thank you for being so honest about the pride thing. Not many would have admitted that. Stay honest before God and man; and there's nothing to forgive on this end, for as soon as I read your post, it was put behind me. Out of the abundance of all the good trees in this world we have to go for the bad one. What a difference in Adam's life had taken place. Abounding in the love and friendship of the Lord and then hiding himself from that love. And right away, sin takes a partner, unrepentance. For Adam tries to shift the blame to the woman and to God Himself. Gen 3:12 "...The woman whom thou gavest to be with me...". It is a good lesson to reflect on. Maybe you could write in your personal profile how you came to the Lord and a little about yourself. Knowing a bit about you can help everyone get to know you better and glory in our Lord. Gal 6:6 "Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things." Stay in prayer and share everything with God, for He is our Teacher. Your brother, terrib |

19 | So she should only be eating fruit? | Gen 2:16 | terrib | 152319 | ||
Greetings Songbirdca, It must be remembered that in the first days of this new creation herbs and trees were plentiful. Animals were only beginning to multiply and be fruitful. If Adam started eating meat at the first he would destroy and make extinct certain species; and as God had plans for the survival of man so He must also make plans for the survival of the animals. Remember that these were of the first days of creation and as such we must look at these things in that light. Did God give the giant whale teeth to eat with or does it strain plankton and brine shrimp? Did He give the eagle the hooked beak and strong talons to hold onto grain only? Or did God know that these things, over time, would be needed for survival? Just as He knew that in time man would eat meat: (Genesis 9:3 NASB) "Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant. (Genesis 9:4 NASB) "Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. It is ominous for us to say what God's intentions were. In reading Job 38-41 God expresses Himself to man. And in the end we must replay with: (Job 42:1 NASB) Then Job answered the LORD and said, (Job 42:2 NASB) "I know that You can do all things, And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. (Job 42:3 NASB) 'Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' "Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know." (Job 42:4 NASB) 'Hear, now, and I will speak; I will ask You, and You instruct me.' (Job 42:5 NASB) "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You; (Job 42:6 NASB) Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes." And let us not forget: (1 Timothy 4:1 KJV) Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; (1 Timothy 4:2 KJV) Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; (1 Timothy 4:3 KJV) Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. (1 Timothy 4:4 KJV) For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: (1 Timothy 4:5 KJV) For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.(ref. Gen 9:3) In love, terrib |

Hi Songbirdca, "But how can a perfect world (Eden) have included meat-eating?" I never said that it did. I said: " If Adam started eating meat at the first he would destroy and make extinct certain species;". They were created on the same day. So, if you kill one of them to eat how would they reproduce? And the Scriptures do not say that they ate meat either. Not until after man sinned was there a change. Like I pointed out before, the direct authority written in Scripture was given to Noah (Gen 9:3-4). And that was about 600 or so years after Adam. Abel, the son of Adam, was a keeper of sheep (the first shepherd slain by his own kind), now whither he raised the sheep for food or wool the Scriptures do not expressly say. And when Abel offered sacrifices to the Lord, it does not say that the sacrifices were burnt offerings either. These are innuendoes and can be very speculative. Or consider how Noah knew which were the clean animals and which were the unclean animals to bring into the ark. The Scriptures are silent about how Noah knew these things. And yet we can see, with a spiritual eye, that when God made coats of skin for Adam and Eve, they beheld the first death recorded, the first sacrifice for sin, a blood sacrifice, Christ in a figure, who is therefore said to be the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Rev 13:8). And God covered them. We can also see a difference in attitude, were before the sacrifice they hid from the Lord, but now a tone of reverence and faith when Eve (concerning Cain) says, "I have gotten a man from the LORD." (Gen 4:1), a glad thing and even a praise to the Almighty God who saved them through His grace. So, who taught Cain and Abel to sacrifice...?, the parents. Gen 4:4 "And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof", notice the inference to the Mosaic Laws, 'the firstling and the fat is the Lord's'... another shadow of things to come ... ? Did Adam and Eve eat meat after the first sacrifice ... ? In love, terrib |
