2 | Law or grace or both? | Bible general Archive 1 | Arnie | 48624 | ||
Hi, We cannot make it to heaven by keeping the the Law, because the Law is spiritual and we are carnal (physical). (Romans 7:14). Once we recieve the Holy Spirit we can begin to follow the Law, we will fall occasionnally,like a young child who is learning to walk, but by the grace of God, we get up and continue on the path that Christ has revealed to us. (Romans 7:25,Romans 8:4), (Gal 5:16) | ||||||
3 | Christ and doctrines revealed to us? | John 15:16 | Arnie | 46184 | ||
Dear Parable, I do beleive in progressive revelation, but any new revelation WILL NOT CHANGE any original revelation, it will only add to it. A good example is Christ bringing the spiritual dimension to the "law". Thou shalt not kill, now we are not to be angry, without a just cause, with our brother. It dosn't do away with the original, it magnified it. There are several examples of this in the "Sermon on the Mount" You need not go far for examples of different doctrines, Catholics have theirs, the Lutherans theirs, Methothist have theirs, Babtist have theirs, ect. Many practice the same doctrines but how do they get different teaching on those they differ so much on, Baptism - Immersion (age of understanding) or sprinkling (infant Baptism). This was part of the Gospel that was taught by Christ and the Disciples, "Repent and be Baptize, everyone of you. This seems to be a foundational principle. Did God the Father give both methods of Baptism? Does it make a difference? I think it does. There are many other major different beliefs, with this posting I'm not trying to argue that one or the other is right, I'm saying do they all come from the mind of God. I believe God gives us the truth initially, then as times goes by, we start compromising the truth, small change here and there, after a period of time we can't recognize what God gave us from the beginning. Rev 2:25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. KJV Rev 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. KJV Heb 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; KJV In Christian Love, Arnie |

4 | recognize Christ? | John 15:16 | Arnie | 46069 | ||
Dear Parable, When using the word "responsible" I meant when He chose (John 15:16) us, He being the initiator, the one who is doing the work, it would be up to Him, not up to us, to deliver the doctrines that we come to understand. I had not thought of the second point you made but it is a very good one Once we are called we are set apart in the eyes of God and now have a special standing with God. |

5 | physical resurrection | Ezek 37:1 | Arnie | 44924 | ||
Dear Markarios, I doubt if I could answer satisfactoraly the problems and challanges that you stated, but let me try, I'll start with the easest one, #3. (in verse's 12 , 14)now they will have God's Spirit in them so they now will have their first chance for salvation. without God's spirit we are lost and without hope. #2. "Ezekials own explanation" I'm not sure what you mean by this, I don't see an explanation by Ezekiel of the vision, he simply made a statement of the vision he had. #1 , #4 are basically the same question Rev 20 helps explain the resurrections, 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection After the thousand year reign "The rest of the dead lived" The first resurrection was a spiritual resurrection, they received their reward. This is another resurrection, (the rest of the dead) I believe God's plan of salvation must give every creature a chance for salvation, not only for Israel but for all mankind, there must be a day of salvation for those who didn't have their first one. I believe Ezekiel 37 is an indication of just that. Arnie |

6 | physical resurrection | Ezek 37:1 | Arnie | 44910 | ||
Greetings Markarios, You didn't say what the problems are. "There are many problems and challenges when you take this vision to mean a literal, physical resurrection of the bodies." |

7 | Where does the Bible say all have heard? | John 14:6 | Arnie | 44713 | ||
Dear Tim, Thayers says somewhat the same as the reference you posted, I think this is where I got my idea on "no regard for past, present or future time" 5777 Tense - Aorist The aorist tense is characterized by its emphasis on punctiliar action; that is, the concept of the verb is considered without regard for past, present, or future time. There is no direct or clear English equivalent for this tense, though it is generally rendered as a simple past tense in most translations. The events described by the aorist tense are classified into a number of categories by grammarians. The most common of these include a view of the action as having begun from a certain point ("inceptive aorist"), or having ended at a certain point ("cumulative aorist"), or merely existing at a certain point ("punctiliar aorist"). The categorization of other cases can be found in Greek reference grammars. The English reader need not concern himself with most of these finer points concerning the aorist tense, since in most cases they cannot be rendered accurately in English translation, being fine points of Greek exegesis only. The common practice of rendering an aorist by a simple English past tense should suffice in most cases Arnie |

10 | Where does the Bible say all have heard? | John 14:6 | Arnie | 44644 | ||
Dear Tim, My knowledge of the Greek langauge is very limited, what I understood the Aorist tense to be is "something being done without a time frame" a fact in this case "preached" I understood the present tense from the following: PREACH, PREACHING 2. kerusso NT:2784 signities (a) "to be a herald," or, in general, "to proclaim," e. g., Matt 3:1; Mark 1:45, "publish"; in Luke 4:18, RV, "to proclaim," KJV, "to preach"; so verse 19; Luke 12:3; Acts 10:37; Rom 2:21; Rev 5:2. In 1 Peter 3:19 the probable reference is, not to glad tidings (which there is no real evidence that Noah preached, nor is there evidence that the spirits of antediluvian people are actually "in prison"), but to the act of Christ after His resurrection in proclaiming His victory to fallen angelic spirits; (b) "to preach the gospel as a herald," e. g., Matt 24:14; Mark 13:10, RV, "be preached" (KJV, "be published"); 14:9; 16:15,20; 8:1; 9:2; 24:47; 8:5; 19:13; 28:31; 10:14, present participle, lit., "(one) preaching," "a preacher"; 10:15 (1 st part); 1 Cor 1:23; 15:11,12; 2 Cor 1:19; 4:5; 11:4; Gal 2:2; Phil 1:15; Col 1:23; 1 Thess 2:9; 1 Tim 3:16; (c) "to preach the word," 2 Tim 4:2 (of the ministry of the Scriptures, with special reference to the gospel). See PROCLAIM, PUBLISH. (from Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words, Copyright (c)1985, Thomas Nelson Publishers) The reference says "Present participle" in reference to Col 1:23 I believe thats where I made the error in saying present tense.

11 | Where does the Bible say all have heard? | John 14:6 | Arnie | 44593 | ||
The tense in Col 1:23 is "being preached" "proclaimed" every creature in the world has been or will hear the Gospel. Col 1:12-29 1. To whom it was preached: To every creature under heaven (v. 23), that is, it was ordered to be preached to every creature, Mark 16:15. It may be preached to every creature; for the gospel excludes none who do not exclude themselves. More or less it has been or will be preached to every nation, though many have sinned away the light of it and perhaps some have never yet enjoyed it. (from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible: New Modern Edition, Electronic Database. Copyright (c) 1991 by Hendrickson Publishers, Inc.) Mark 16:15 5 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. KJV NT:2784 usso (kay-roos'-so); of uncertain affinity; to herald (as a public crier), especially divine truth (the gospel): KJV - preacher (-er), proclaim, publish.

12 | Can we figure out God's Truth | 2 Tim 3:16 | Arnie | 44589 | ||
Hi Ralphie, I think you answered the question with the first part of your answer, We Can't understand God's Truth by our selves, we need help from the Holy Spirit. on the last half of your answer I think I would add We must also "LIVE IT" if we are to KNOW if the doctrine is of God. John 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. KJV Hos 14:9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein. KJV |

13 | Are we expected to keep the sabath? | Bible general Archive 1 | Arnie | 43699 | ||
Dear John, The Sabbath Day must be REVEALED to us, just as it was to Israel on Mt. Sinai, they forgot it when they became slaves in Egypt. The Sabbath was never given to the Gentiles. Once it has been REVEALED to us we simply keep it as He REVEALS it to us, don't add anything to it, (as the Pharisees did) BUT DON"T TAKE ANTHING AWAY FROM IT. (As ones carnal nature wants to do). When called the Spirit leads us into all truth, we just need to keep that which we receive from the BEGINNING. Hold on to that which you received from the beginning. To DEVIATE in any manner from what we have been given is to CHANGE THE REVEALED TRUTH we have been given. IF WE LOVE GOD we will OBEY that which He gives us. John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. KJV John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. KJV 2 Tim 1:13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. KJV 1 John 2:24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. KJV 1 John 2:7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. KJV Heb 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; KJV |

14 | Was the Law ever abolished or negated? | Bible general Archive 1 | Arnie | 43693 | ||
Meusing, Hold on to that what you have been given by the grace of God, just beware, men can and do lead you astray, it seems all churches and groups have some truth, the problem is so many also have error, thats why the only thing that is perfect, is the TRUTH REVEALED by the Son of God. | ||||||
15 | Was the Law ever abolished or negated? | Bible general Archive 1 | Arnie | 43591 | ||
Meusing, (I hope you don't mind me butting in)Adam Clarke is good but you don't need him to explain what "fulfill the law" means, Christ explained it very plainly in the 5th chapter of Matt. Christ brought the SPIRITUAL dimension to the law. The Law says "don't commit adultery" now Christ says "Don't even lust after women" The Law says "Thou shalt not kill" now Christ says "Don't be angry, without a just cause, with your brother. Christ came to COMPLETE the Law (not do away with it), bringing the Spiritual dimension, The Law was incomplete without the Spiritual dimension. As CHRIST SAID, I come NOT TO DO AWAY with the Law, but to fulfill. Christ brought the Law to a new level. Arnie |

Dear Elder, #1 You never answered the question??? #2 Jesus was keeping ALL THE COMMANDMENTS PERFECTLY, JESUS kept THE LAW perfectly, HE KEPT THEM because they came from HIS FATHER and He obeyed His Father. Luke 10:22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him KJV John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. KJV John 8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. KJV John 10:37-38 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. KJV |
