1 | What is a two-edge sword? | Heb 4:12 | Jepson | 24177 | ||
I think of the Bible as a two-edge sword this way. It is like a weapon that gives eternal life or eternal death. It has the power of life and death. Heb. 4:11-13 uses adjectives to describe the Word of God. Words such as living, powerful, piercing, discerner. The Word is living, meaning that the spoken word in Gen 1 became a living human as seen in John l:1 and John 1:14. Word, as seen in these verses is the Greek word Logos, meaning the living spoken word. That is God in the second person as Jesus. There is nothing hidden from God. He knows us as if we were sliced open by a sword, our spiritual destiny, that is "piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit". Prior to our birth He has known us. Then there is the physical aspect of our lives, that is both "joints and marrow". The activities and behavior we choose to be, or not to be, invloved in this life are known to Him as well. We can hide our thoughts from those around us, but God knows our deepest secrets. He is a "discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Nothing about us are hidden from Him. When we memorize the Word and evangelize, the Bible as a two-edge sword can be an effective weapon used in conquering enemies of God. |

2 | Only 144,000 virgins in heaven? | Revelation | Jepson | 23256 | ||
Hi dude4Christ In looking back at your 144,000 virgin remarks, let me add that JW translations are erroneous and this refers to 144,000 angelic announcers of the Son of Man. I agree with Romans 10:13, everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, but add that this means more than lip service, it includes trust among other things. Many people may call upon the Lord, but that does not mean they are saved. Look at Matt. 7:13,14 the narrow way, and at Matt 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord"shall enter the kingdom of heaven..." Jepson |

3 | is jesus god | Bible general Archive 1 | Jepson | 23247 | ||
John 10:30 "I and the Father are one." John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word..." John l:14 "..the Word became flesh..." God (Elohim) who spoke the world in creation became the living God(Adona)or Jesus. In theology this is the hypostatical union. The two natures in Christ, His divine nature and His human nature. |

4 | Gen. l:26,27 | Gen 1:1 | Jepson | 23155 | ||
Hi Nolan! Blood types are classified into four types. They are A, B. O. AB. In the United States, O is the most common blood type, 45 percent of the population has this type blood. In Japan, if my memory serves me correctly, B is the most common or predominant type. Each race has a predominant blood type. Several years ago, I began to wonder how, or why four blood types came into the human race from Adam, a single human, and why just four. Each race could have its own blood type. Or, all races could have just a single blood type. We know that Noah and his three sons repopulated the earth, so apparently four blood types were already in existence after the flood. This involves genetics, antigens and other things, e.g. sin, and sex. The human blood is tainted with sin, even from Adam, and the pure blood of the second Adam cleanse us of sin. So we are forgiven and will enjoy our new life with Christ without blood, for blood brings the misery of disease, pain and death. Blood runs throughout our Bible and it is an interesting study. In studying and reading, thoughts run through my mind and I have ask many well known scholars and teachers this question of the four blood types, but have never received a clear satisfactory answer. Perhaps, there is none. Jepson | ||||||
