If you want to clearly understand Holy Writ then you must rightly divide the scriptures, as revealed to us in 2 Timothy 2:15 and 1 Corinthians 2:1-16. These instructions are for authentically born-again Believers (ABAB) and no one else. -Johann Walter |

4 | With Fear and Trembleing | Ephesians | dispen4ever | 208892 | ||
Doc........ the whole armor of God is Jesus. We put on Jesus. We are inhabited by the Holy Spirit. Quoting you: "If resisting the devil is not based in the complete and ongoing work of every member of our Triune God....." Where in scripture does it say anything else? Where in the article I presented, designed to point out the nature of the whole armor of God, does it say otherwise? It is an example, not a declaration of truth found outside the Bible. | ||||||

Where in that quotation is it indicated that I posted it to promote some intellectual proweress? That is an assumption on your part, not a fact. The quoted information, revised to clarify my point, was taken from http://tinyurl.com/46g2vm. I just completed downloading an updated version of a Greek-Hebrew linear translation. Shall I quote it as a source each time I answer a question such as "did Jesus mean today you'll be with me in paradise, or did he mean someday?" Must I also quote the source of THAT quote? |

It is equally offensive to lay a charge without supporting evidence. I would remind you that at the time of Christ and for centuries thereafter references and direct quotations were the highest form of flattery, well-received by those who read them. There was ZERO intent on my part to plagarize anyone and I resent that inference. I have been a Pastor-Teacher for many years and I quote or refernce others continuously. Please send me a line-by-line detailed list of information that you found plagaristic or offensive. johann.walter1@gmail.com Thanks! :-) |

p.s. The NT was written between 37 and 96 a.d., most of it by the Apostle Paul. See my blog, "Spiritually Dividing". |

No scripture is of private interpretation. 40 men of God wrote 66 books over a period of 1500 years. The NT was written between 37 and 96 a.d. on the not-adjusted calendar. No one who is not being led by the spirit can interpret scripture. Spiritual discernment is absent. See 1 Corinthians 2:1-16. There are similar verses elsewhere (in Timothy, for example). No one can intellectualize or reason-out scripture mentally. It is futile mental gymnastics. Paul could not write well, and he could not speak well. He testifies to this himself. See 2 Corinthians 2:12. Read again 1 Corinthians 2:1-3, and 2 Corinthians 12:7-10. His eyes were impacted by the encounter on the Damascus Road. See Acts 9, Galatians 4:15 and 6:11. What are infirmities? The state of being infirm; feebleness; an imperfection or weakness; esp., an unsound, unhealthy, or debilitated state; a disease; a malady; as, infirmity of body or mind. A personal frailty or failing; foible; eccentricity; a weakness or defect. Synonym: Debility; imbecility; weakness; feebleness; failing; foible; defect; disease; malady; the state of being weak in health or body. In one commentary Paul is said to have been less than 5 feet tall, with over-sized shoulders, and a heavy black beard. His physical appearance was not appealing to those whom he challenged or witnessed to. That would place him shoulder-high to others in the Jewish leadership. He would be looking up to practically everyone he addressed. When he was alone, with his writer, he was filled with spiritual insight, wisdom, understanding, comprehension. He may have been miserably equipped in public, yet God chose him to be His messenger to we non-Jews in his magnificent letters to the church, to individuals, to all of us. I am convinced that he wrote, covertly, the Letter to the Hebrews. Why covertly? They would not have bothered to read it if they knew it was from Paul. The leadership would simply have renounced him and his letter. Sooooo sad. But these are the same guys who rejected their Messiah, Jesus! See my blog, "Spiritually Dividing". His Jewish background was quite extensive and would have called for strict training in matters of the Hebrew religion, see Acts 22:3. I submit that he was more zealous than anyone of that day. He was a Pharisee and the son of a Pharisee, Acts 23:6. He described himself as being of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews, in Philippians 3:5. He was a pupil of Gamaliel, one of the greatest teachers of the Jewish law in his day, again Acts 22:3; Galatians 1:14. He spoke Greek and Hebrew, and is identified by one commentary as being fluent in 5 languages, one of them undoubtedly Aramaic, see Acts 17:28; Titus 1:12. His training distinguished him from all the other apostles by far! His educational background was far superior! He was fitted, by birth, education, and experiences to fill a special place in the Hebrew Nation and, a very special place in the implementation of the church for we non-Jews. Hallelujah! I could go on, but this should suffice. My original post is accurate and unalterable. Blessings upon each of Thee and Thy House! |

I've clarified it 3 times now. Each time I click on "Preview Follow-up" it tells me I can't use a symbol or that I forgot to click note or something else, and when I go back to correct that what I have typed is gone. I'll get to it tomorrow. Studybibleforum needs to fix that glaring error. My responses were long and detailed. Right now it is past my bedtime. Just read 2 Corinthians 12:9 along with my other references. G'Nite. | ||||||

We "work out" ministries, services, music, preaching, teaching, missionaries, helping the needy, on behalf of our Lord AFTER salvation. In doing so we store up rewards for ourselves in Heaven. We reap what we sew! What a bargain! | ||||||

14 | What about this 144,000? | John 14:6 | dispen4ever | 208766 | ||
You may want to call their attention to the fact that the 144,000 witnesses will be Jewish during the Millenial Kingdom following the Tribulation. Those who receive/believe their testimony will be martyrd for their faith. | ||||||
