1 | Was the curse on the ground lifted? | Gen 8:21 | bjh | 178411 | ||
You seem to be very fond of your analogy, but you haven't explained anything. 3) Luke 11:9-13, if you found the fruit, would you be willing to share it with others? 4) The context of Romans 2 is the condemnation of the Jew, for they did not live up to the standard by which they judged others. 5) Please explain... 6) ditto. Answers: You assume too much... I am no good at basketball or cooking. My answer to both would be "foolishness". |

2 | Was the curse on the ground lifted? | Gen 8:21 | bjh | 177863 | ||
Brian, Something doesn't gel. Here's how I understand the verses you listed. 1) 1 John 1:5-10 speaks to believers about fellowship and sin's effect on our our fellowship with God. 2) Eph 2:10 speaks of the good works which God prepared for us to do 3) Luke 11:9-13 speaks of the goodness and graciousness of our Father in Heaven 4) Romans 2:1-16 speaks about the condemnation of the Jew... but incidentally, thinking about verse 1, why assume that I won't study the Book if you discussed all the verses? 5) 2 Corinthians 9:6-10 talks about giving not work 6) Colossians 3:16-17 says "do all in the name of the Lord Jesus" but says nothing about work not being hard, tiring, or exhausting. Why does Christ commend the Ephesians for their toil? (Rev 2:2) What is "toil"? Why does Paul tell Timothy that "we labor and strive"? (1 Timothy 4:10) What does it mean to "strive"? For that matter, what is "labor"? |

3 | Was the curse on the ground lifted? | Gen 8:21 | bjh | 177523 | ||
But, looking at Romans 8, the present earth has yet to be restored. The cleaned earth, the Restored earth, the freed earth, is yet to come. Not to say it "has been" set free, but rather it "will be"... future tense. Whatever we eat, even though we're able to eat anything according to Acts 10, we're still under the Genesis 3 curse. Work is still hard, toilsome, tiring, and exhausting. All that is directly related to the Genesis 3 curse. Is it not? |

4 | Can you clarify your previous post? | Rom 11:25 | bjh | 139231 | ||
True, very true. My guess is that some would say that the Jews are no longer the "True Israel", but that the "Israel of God" (Gal 6:16) is the church and is now a mix of Jews and Gentiles. (But I, myself, do not hold that position.) |

5 | He-man, All the promises of Abraham? | Rom 11:25 | bjh | 139208 | ||
That's a good question. The Bible speaks of a New Heaven and a New Earth - Rev 21:1 ff. It looks like the answer is "yes" there will be both, and that we will have free access to either place. | ||||||
6 | Has the church replaced Israel? | Rom 11:25 | bjh | 139115 | ||
Nicely put. | ||||||
7 | sinful flesh or flesh? | Rom 8:3 | bjh | 116780 | ||
I agree, sarx, the Greek word translated "flesh", can have a wide range of meanings. For my part, I view "man" as being a little broader than just "flesh" - which is where I might take some issue with the NIV. Deeper thoughts which might loose some people... We still sin (Romans 7 and 1 John 1). I think I would be happier if the NIV read, "He condemned sin in man", because Christ did not become "sinful man" but (simply) "man". Unless I'm misreading it, sin was condemned at the cross - in Christ's sinless, yet die-able, flesh (but, admittedly, He became sin on our behalf). |

8 | sinful flesh or flesh? | Rom 8:3 | bjh | 116738 | ||
No arguments here, "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us". (John 1:14) We also read that God the Father "made Him, who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf." 2 Cor 5:21. I do not throw this in as a monkeywrench, because I would argue that this happened at the cross, at the time He was forsaken. (And this would also fit in to the "condemned sin in the flesh," come to think of it.) |

9 | About Premillenialism... | Bible general Archive 2 | bjh | 109362 | ||
I don't see these passages as being figurative. What makes you say they are figurative? Maybe its a matter of one's own interpretation. For example, the Jews look at Isaiah 53 and declare it "figurative" and say it describes the nation of Israel. As believers, we say that it refers to the Messiah. You don't have to be convinced. You asked what premillennialists believed. I responded. However, for the record, from my standpoint, premillennialism has the strongest Biblical support of any eschatalogical scheme. |

10 | Does Deut. 24:1 still apply? | Deut 24:4 | bjh | 106233 | ||
I failed to mention one exception, which would account for the Jeremiah passage. Matthew 19:9 gives the exception "immorality". This is exactly why God divorced Israel. Israel was acting immorally. (In other words Israel had already divorced God in their hearts, so God finalized their departure.) | ||||||
11 | Does Deut. 24:1 still apply? | Deut 24:4 | bjh | 106204 | ||
In Jeremiah, Is God not speaking metaphorically? Deuteronomy is speaking of divorce between a man and wife. Jeremiah is speaking of God's relationship with the scattered 10 tribes of Israel who did not return to the land as did Judah. | ||||||
12 | What about NT laws concerning divorce? | Deut 24:4 | bjh | 106186 | ||
The argument was raised that this verse in Deuteronomy doesn't apply because it was OT. My response was that there are also NT verses that regulate divorce. My point was that because divorce is equated with adultery, divorce is wrong. |

13 | Does Deut. 24:1 still apply? | Deut 24:4 | bjh | 106185 | ||
In the NASB, the word in Malachi and Matthew is divorce, not "putting away". However, even if we were to use the ASV, KJV or Darby's Bible, we would see that in the context of the verses in question,(Mal 2:14-16; Matt. 19:3-9) the Bible itself equates "putting away" with divorce. | ||||||
14 | Were human authors aware of inspiration? | 2 Tim 3:16 | bjh | 92626 | ||
That's an interesting response. I was at another forum where the answer was "No, they didn't". That answer bothers me. The example given was Luke's statement to Theophilus in Lk 1, "It seemed good to me..." That answer, however, doesn't seem to address the issue of whether or not Luke (or the rest) knew that they were writing was Scripture. In my original question here, I'm not sure if I made myself clear as to whether or not they even knew it was Scripture. (I called it as such, because that's how we view it.) I do, however, tend towards the "Yes, they did know that their writing was God-breathed (and that it is Scripture)." |
