Doc I tried using the search feature and could not find anything on Cambellites? Do you have a good link or something? I enjoyed the posts about the dichotomy and the trichotomy, I never heard of that before. tumbelweed, God's Own |

2 | least in kingdom greater than John | Matt 11:11 | tumbleweed | 207464 | ||
france13 Psalm 22:6 But I am a worm and not a man, A reproach of men and despised by the people. This is a referrence to Jesus by David in the long Psalm showing the suffering of Jesus at the cross. This verse in Mathew 11:11 "Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.", clearly states that one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater that John the Bapist. Whoever that one is the scripture makes a difference between them and John the Baptist, so it cannot be referring to John the Baptist. I don't see how it could be referring to Jesus because Jesus is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, He is the king. That leaves the disciples of Jesus, all of them beyond the twelve. I believe that those who have the opportunity to come Jesus got into the kingdom on better promises as described in all of Hebrews, are those who are here in this verse, the one who is greater than John the Baptist. I think this verse is talking about the priveldge of the means by which on enters into the kingdom. How did John the Baptist get saved? By faith before Jesus came around, the same way Abraham, and Moses, and David did. But those who came into the kingdom of heaven after Jesus came around received the promises of a Messiah, a savior, a King, promises that those in the OT heard of but never saw. The Bible says those who are first shall be last, and those who are last shall be first. The people who all got saved under the OT were the first, the people who get saved under the NT were the last. John the Baptist was a very great man, but he comes from the first, regular folks who believed in Jesus and got in where the last. The first shall be last and the last shall be first. tumbleweed, God's Own |

3 | Good and Bad Fruit Out of Context? | Matt 12:33 | tumbleweed | 207378 | ||
bowler I have checked back on this post once in a while to see if anything more got said about different styles of Bible Study. I find this whole issue of how to study the Bible very interesting, and have been liking your posts, but especially this one. I would be very interested in some more about the expository style of Bible Study, if you could explain more that would be great. Also if you could explain some about exegesis that would be great too, although I think I know what that is. Ephesians 4:10 Trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. tumbleweed, God's Own |

4 | Good and Bad Fruit Out of Context? | Matt 12:33 | tumbleweed | 207377 | ||
Val I found all this about different kinds of Bible study really interesting and enjoyed your post. Would you happen to know about deductive Bible Study too? And if you know about that could you show me how? Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. tumbleweed, God's Own |

5 | Saul Conjured up Prophesied from Dead? | 1 Sam 28:14 | tumbleweed | 207354 | ||
Steve I have trouble understanding whey bowler's use of the phrase just a worthless son is such a problem? How come you are judging appearances and likening him to a hypocrite who wants to be seen by men? Lots of people here have lots of catch phrases and words at the end of their posts, and no one seems to mind. I could be wrong, but I highly doubt bowler is trying to make a grand statement about his humbleness to get others to see how humble he is. Perhaps he is just trying not to be a know it all, as he seemed to say a ways back several times in various posts. James 4:11 He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. tumbleweed, God's Own |

6 | Ezekiel's False Propheys Like Today? | Ezek 13:6 | tumbleweed | 207348 | ||
hopalong I appreciate your thoughts. I clearly understand what you are saying here, but I don't put any stock in what people tell me they have heard from God. My question is not about me. My question is not about a particular somebody else saying things they claim from God. My question is what did Ezekiel mean by false prohpets exactly and does that have any relation to when people claim to hear from God now? tumbleweed, God's Own |

7 | Jesus and Children as Paedobaptism? | Mark 10:14 | tumbleweed | 207347 | ||
Steve I thought bowler asked the first part as a question and was not making a supposition or speculation; "He seems to be saying, that children, at least in His day, were receiving the kingdom of God, were getting saved?" I don't understand how you see that as speculation, its a question. Then bowler asked ""How come then, we now do not permit children to be baptized?" It is a fact that there are many churches that do not baptize children before some age of accountablity which varies from church to church. I do not believe, we, referred to anyone on the forum, it seems that perhaps bowler was generalizing a bit about the word we. There are a lot of other people on the forum here and they seem to know a lot about various things in church history. How come then bowler would have to interact with a paedobaptist to get an answer? 1 Peter 3:8 To sum up, all of you be harmonius, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit. tumbleweed, God's Own |

8 | wrong and right to marry the person | Ephesians | tumbleweed | 206892 | ||
Dear John, I have trouble understanding part of what you said here. "We can be certain that God does not will unbelievers to marry, through we may see many instances". I am not sure what you mean, do you mean no unblelievers whould be getting married, or that unbelievers should no marry Christians? tumbleweed, God's Own |

9 | Believing but Falling Away? | Heb 3:12 | tumbleweed | 206808 | ||
Dear Hopalong I agree with you completely. Then what do we do with "falling away"? Falling away from what, sin"? Thanks. tumbleweed, God's Own |

10 | Which Books Which Journeys? | Gal 2:1 | tumbleweed | 206807 | ||
Steve I checked out the link, thank you for that. I found out a couple of things that might interest you by checking the link against information in the NASB introductions to books: According to the link Paul wrote Hebrews and the link bases this off Hebrews 10:34 which they say says, "ye had compassion of me in my bonds". The NASB says "For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfullly the seizure of your property". And has Hebrews as being written in 70 AD instead of 64-65 AD. The link leaves out Titus as one of four prison letters. The NASB lists Galatians as being written as 50 AD in the NASB Giant Print Edition page 1622. Then it list Galatians as being possibly written in 48-49 Ad on page 1650, while listing 1 Thessalonians as being written in 51 AD stating that 1 Thessalonians was written first by Paul. Very strange indeed. It is hard to put together the dates of what was written with when it was written in a chart. I have tried to do this several times and had to stop because there is so little accurate information about the real dates of the journeys. Thanks for the help. tumbleweed, God's Own |

12 | Four Missionary Journeys? | 2 Tim 1:1 | tumbleweed | 206805 | ||
Dear Steve The NASB says that first Paul went to prison in Rome and that after he went on the fourth missionary journey. According to what you are saying, some see the trip to Rome through Miletus as the fourth missionary journey? So then the journey to Miletus took place before the first Roman prison sentence. Philemon, Colossians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Titus were written by Paul while he served this first prison sentence between 60 AD and 62 AD. 1 Timothy and Titus were written after he got out of prison in 64 AD and 66-68 AD before the next Roman prison sentence. The NASB introduction to 2 Timothy says as that it was written after the first Roman imprisonment on some kind of fourth journey. What you are saying is that some say that the fourth missionary journey may have happened while on the way to Rome the first time. That would perhaps date 2 Timothy before Philemon, Colossians, Ephesians, Titus, Philippians, and 1 Timothy. That is if I was to try to put the information of what you say some say together with the dates of the books written in prison and it doesn't quite work out. But if I divorce when 2 Timothy was written from the fourth missionary journey, then what you have said works out just fine as an answer to my question about there being three journeys instead of four. Now I am up in the air and am not too sure what to believe about if there were three or four missionary journeys. tumbleweed, God's Own |

13 | Timothy's Gifts and Title? | 1 Tim 1:18 | tumbleweed | 206802 | ||
Dear allen According to what you write me Timothy may have been an apostle. Steve wrote me he was an overseer by the church traditions. I guess then Timothy was definitely a minister, maybe an apostle, and maybe an overseer. Thank you. tumbleweed, God's Own |
