Hi Ray, I can't answer this question because I do not have a NKJ. But, how you have written it : (Acts 1:4, NKJ, "but to wait for the Promise of the Father,..."), it would all depend on how much emphasis you put on 'the'. Whichever way it is written we know by context of the Scriptures that it is the Holy Spirit. These are the versions I have: Act 1:4 (ASV) and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye heard from me: (CEV) While he was still with them, he said: Don't leave Jerusalem yet. Wait here for the Father to give you the Holy Spirit, just as I told you he has promised to do. (Darby) and, being assembled with them , commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father, which said he ye have heard of me. (DRB) And eating together with them, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but should wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard (saith he) by my mouth. (ESV) And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, "you heard from me; (Geneva) And when he had gathered them together, he commaunded them, that they should not depart from Hierusalem, but to waite for the promise of the Father, which sayde hee, yee haue heard of me. (ISV) While he was meeting with them, he ordered them, "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the Father's promise, about which you heard me speak. (KJV) And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. (KJV-1611) And being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Hierusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye haue heard of me. (LBLA) Y reuniéndolos, les mandó que no salieran de Jerusalén, sino que esperaran la promesa del Padre: La cual, les dijo, oísteis de mí; (LITV) And having met with them, He charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father, "which you heard of Me; (MKJV) And having met with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father which you heard from Me. (NASB) Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which," He said, "you heard of from Me; terrib |

3 | filled Holy Spirit, or to walk in spirit | Rom 8:9 | terrib | 153755 | ||
Ray, Just a thought. Have you tried substituting the word Ghost for the word Spirit where they are the same and use the word spirit where it talks about man's spirit. Maybe that would lesson some of the confusion. Either way, please remember to use an Authoritative version whenever you quote to any other forum member. If sometimes it is confusing to you just think what it would do to someone who is not aware of your ties to capitalization. terrib |

4 | filled Holy Spirit, or to walk in spirit | Rom 8:9 | terrib | 153754 | ||
Ray, You wrote: "However, I still continue to believe in the Giver and the gift. The Spirit indwells us and gives us the gift of the *spirit which we receive. 1 Corinthians 12:4, "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit." Now you are confusing the spiritual gifts of the Holy Ghost with the Gift of God, the Holy Spirit. terrib |

5 | filled Holy Spirit, or to walk in spirit | Rom 8:9 | terrib | 153737 | ||
Hi Ray, (1 John 4:2 KJV) Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: The "Spirit of God" in the above is the Holy Spirit. reference: (1 Corinthians 12:3 KJV) Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. Ray, concerning Rom 8:15, I do not agree in the NASB using "a spirit of adoption" instead of "the Spirit of adoption". Because the agent that brought us into this family is the Holy Spirit; and this very Spirit continues to witness to us the grace in which we stand, by enabling us to call God your Father, with the utmost child-like confidence and affection. terrib |

Hi Ray, 1 John 3:24 talks about the witness of the Spirit of Christ, some think the spirit of sanctification, but not in this case. (see also 4:13) ('which' and 'whom' are the same word in the Greek) 1 John 4:1,2,3,6: Yes all these should be spirit, (except in v2 "Spirit of God"), for these spirits are talking about men's spirits or the spirits of a doctrines, or possibly angels, not Divine Spirit. ref: (Galatians 1:8 KJV) "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." These also would be spirits. terrib |

9 | interaciall marriage | 2 Cor 6:14 | terrib | 153510 | ||
Hi Ngkh, The subject of the verse you cited has to do with those that are already married and one of them becomes a believer. The topic starts with verse 1 Cor 7:10 and runs through verse 16. "1Co 7:10 And unto the married" is the clue for the subject. Upon becoming a Christian while one is married binds the contract made before God even stronger, for now the believer is even more aware of their covenant with God. The couple are still 'one flesh' in the eyes of the Lord, thus the spouse of the believer is santified by the belief of the other. "Thus Christians are called commonly saints; such they are by profession, separated to be a peculiar people of God, and as such distinguished from the world; and therefore the children born to Christians, though married to unbelievers, are not to be reckoned as part of the world, but of the church, a holy, not a common and unclean seed. “Continue therefore to live even with unbelieving relatives; for, if you are holy, the relation is so, the state is so, you may make a holy use even of an unbelieving relative, in conjugal duties, and your seed will be holy too.” What a comfort is this, where both relatives are believers!" (Matthew Henry) terrib |

10 | Such thing as a choice? | Eccl 6:10 | terrib | 153158 | ||
Hi Tim, The original question used the phrase "God changes His mind". It might have been better to use the phrase "God changes His plan of action". Either way, I do agree with your outlook as to the Jonah situation. The insert below has some good points to it: Can our prayers cause God to change his mind? (Exodus 32:14) God does not change, but he will adjust his decrees to fit our response. The Bible contains many examples of this — the Hebrews on the outskirts of Canaan (Num. 14:11-23); Hezekiah's repentance on behalf of Israel (2 Chron. 29:3-10, 36); the sparing of Nineveh (Jonah 3:1-10). God's will is dynamic. As with any interpersonal relationship, God's relationship with humanity involves give and take. God accommodates his responses to ours; we adjust our responses to God's. So it can be said on this level, God sometimes changes his mind in response to our prayers. At the same time, God's will is determined. There are decrees and promises he has made that do not change. He kept his covenant with the Israelites (Deut. 7:7-8) and keeps his new covenant with us (John 6:37-40, 44). God wants us to follow his will obediently. He has predetermined ways he would like us to respond, but we have the choice to do them or not (Psalm 143:10; Heb. 10:35-39; 1 Thes. 5:18-18; 2 Peter 3:9). These three aspects of God's will work together. It is not possible for us to understand how, but God is ultimately in control. We might compare the relationship between God, his will and his people to a chess match between a novice player and a master. The novice can make any move he chooses and the master will respond accordingly. But the master will always be in control of the game. The analogy is limited and cannot be pressed further: God's people "win" when the Master's will is done. (Quest Study Bible, page 121. Copyright © Zondervan. Used by permission.) You are right, if everything is scripted then there is no freedom of choice! It is amazing how some like to put God in a box. I think the Pharasees were doing the same thing. The letter, the letter of the law kills. Too much theology can kill the Spirit, for in time it is no longer the Spirit that is teaching, but man. Some only believe what is written. Well, is there anything in the Scriptures that tells us what God is doing today, no, it is not in the Scriptures? Well, if it is not in the Scriptures then today never really happened, give me a break! Did people pray today? Did God answer prayer today? It's not in the Scriptures! Are we living in a vacuum? The Bible teaches us the basics of God, not the end of God! Is everything written in the Scriptures, NO, (John 21:25 KJV) "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen." Where is mercy if everything is pre-planned? terrib |

11 | What is a patron saint? | Bible general Archive 2 | terrib | 153123 | ||
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 |

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 Doc, I have always seen Christ in the OT and do not want you to think that I don’t. My main thought, at the time, was if the OT people knew Him or were they worshipping the Father directly. After reading some of your posts and some articles on this subject and searching my beliefs, I can see where they were looking forward to the Messiah. I don’t know why, at this moment, I let that one brain cell go off on such a tangent, for I actually, after some reflection, have always known the answers. So, whether it was a trial or an assault I will be informed in due season. So, I feel I need to apologize to the forum for the time I took. It is easy to see how some factions get started. A second thought has come to me while writing this, maybe it wasn’t a test pointed toward me; possibly for some other reader. God bless you for your steadfastness and all the others that participated. As you wrote to someone, it’s good to have a shoulder once in awhile. Your brother, terrib |

Hi Doc, Question: "What is Soteriology?" A: Soteriology discusses how Christ's death secures the salvation of those who believe. Titus 3:5-8 is a tremendous summary of Soteriology, "He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life." (http://www.gotquestions.org/Soteriology.html) The term “soteriology” comes from two Greek terms, namely, so_ter meaning “savior” or “deliverer” and logos meaning “word,” “matter,” or “thing.” In Christian systematic theology it is used to refer to the study of the biblical doctrine of salvation. It often includes such topics as the nature and extent of the atonement as well as the entire process of salvation, conceived as an eternal, divine plan designed to rescue lost and erring sinners and bring them back into eternal fellowship with God. Many regard it as the primary theme in Scripture with the glory of God as its goal. (http://www.bible.org) This is where I got my answer, terrib |

Hi Doc, "Where do you find Abraham making a sin offering?". I believe that Law came after Abraham. But he did make burnt offerings, that were usually ment for the priests. "Jesus is in the Scripture. Even way back yonder in what God had Moses write. Many did not see it even as many do not see it now. But it was there -- and God directs those He chooses to His Word." Agreed, I see Jesus from Gen 1:1 and before and beyond. And you are right, it is not about soteriology. That also is NT. "God did not change how He saved men in the New Testament. It has always been by faith" Agree.!! Thanks Doc for your sharing. terrib |

Hi Doc, Basically the same thing happened at our church. A man and his wife walked in and sat down. In the middle of the Pastor's sermon the man got up and walked out of the auditorium. Gently, the Pastor excused himself, right in the middle of the sermon, and went outside to talk to the man. The man was in his car behind the wheel waiting for his wife. The Pastor asked him what was wrong, and the man said, "I don't believe this stuff and never will". He fell against the steering wheel dead that very moment. (Psalms 66:5 KJV) Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. terrib |

Hi Doc, Isaiah 54:13, Jeremiah 31:34, and Micah 4:2 are all forward looking prophecies, pertaining to the NT. All the other Scriptures you gave are NT proclamations. Nothing to do with OT. You wrote: "Again, the very same question is before us as was before our first parents. Will we believe the Word of God? The issue has not changed." That is unbecoming Doc! We are here to learn, not to throw innuendos. The only verses I can think of right now about OT judgment are: Rom 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without the law: and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law; Rom 2:13 for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified: Rom 2:14 (for when Gentiles that have not the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are the law unto themselves; Rom 2:15 in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing them); Rom 2:16 in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ. I do not see any Scripture that says the OT people had to receive Christ to be saved. terrib |

Hi Doc, We are aware that Christ is hidden in to OT, for Paul says that these things are written for us. The point I am making is that in the time of Noah was he aware of Christ or was he aware of the God (yeh-ho-vaw) only? And this is actually a foreknowledge statement: "the lamb slain from the foundations of the world." For God knew that Jesus would be slain. The holes in your thinking is that you are looking at Noah with the knowledge that you have today. According to Rom 4 the promise was to have a child and Abraham believed God and that faith was imputed to him for righteousness. Rom 4:19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: Rom 4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; Rom 4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. Rom 4:22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Again salvation through faith in God the Father (not Jesus) else Paul would have stated that. The Scriptures do not say that Abraham knew about Jesus. Yet his faith was unto righteousness. I am trying to look through Noah's and Abraham's eyes. See what they saw during their time and what they knew at that time. Not what we know today. For today we hear thunder and think it is just a storm...or is it? Our times today are so filled with things and things and we know what causes the rainbow, but back then seeing a rainbow was an honour a privilage and one would most likely fall on the knees and give thanks for the promise. Do we do that today? So, I try to put myself into the times of the one being written about. terrib |

Hi Jeff, (Hebrews 11:7 KJV) By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. For he also preached for the hundred years that this flood was coming. So, it wasn't just some little thing that he did, 100 years! And by this faith (in God for the promise of the flood, not a prophecy of the seed), became "heir of the righteousness" which is by faith. I do see that they might have believed in the Messiah (seed) in prophecy and trust in Him of the prophecy that He would do what He said He would do. Therefore, I concede to your thought also. So, I guess I see it in two ways now. One: Faith in God the Father Jehovah alone and Two: faith in the promises to come through the seed, Jesus. I see this most likely with Abraham (Gal 3:16) and just slightly with Noah (1 Pet 3:19). You wrote: "A faith in anything other than the promised work of Jesus Christ in old testament times (though they didn't know His name) and the finished work of Christ today, would be a faith lacking in quality (value)and insufficient for salvation." So, if I were a Jew in the OT and believed in the saving Grace of Jesus Christ I wouldn't have to keep the Law? terrib |
