2 | HOW COULD JESUS BE A DESCENDANT OF DAVID | Bible general Archive 1 | Phillip | 4358 | ||
Christ's geneology is given in Matt and Luke. Matt traces the lineage through Joseph, (Matt 1:16 Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah.), back to David's son Solomon (Mt 1:7). Luke traces Mary's decendents, (Luke 3:23 When He began His ministry, Jesus Himself was about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, the son of Eli), back to David's son Nathan (Lk 3:31). Both Solomon and Nathan are also the sons of Bathsheba (1Chr 3:5). May the Lord Bless You, Phillip |

5 | Do humans become angels? | Bible general Archive 1 | Phillip | 10220 | ||
Jesus, speaking of man said in Mark 12:25 [For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. NASU] Jesus said that we would be LIKE angels. 1 Cor 6:2-3 [2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? ... 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life? NASU] Paul states that we will judge men and angels. Heb 1:13-14 [13 But to which of the angels has He ever said, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET"? 14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation? NASU] The writer of Hebrews argues that Jesus is greater than angels, afterall, angels are meant to minister to believers. I know of NO verses in the Bible that would lead us to think that we will become angels. |

7 | Why will we know each other? | Bible general Archive 1 | Phillip | 10350 | ||
Glory777, I see your reasoning and would like to offer a few comments. It is true that Jesus was recognized by many after His resurrection, but He was also unrecognizable by others on the road to Emmaus (Lk 24:13-16). Either way the fact remains that those who saw Jesus were in a natural state, not supernatural as we will all be in heaven. Men's eyes may be opened by God to the spiritual (2 Kgs 6:15-17) but our natural state is blind to the spiritual world. Therefore to say that natural man being able to see a resurrected Christ on earth is the same as a spiritual resurrected person being able to recognize another spiritual person in heaven is a questionable conclusion. If we were to recognize one another, we would have retained our earthly memory to some degree? Would these memories be only of loved ones and happy times or would they also include those whom we did not love and memories that are regretful? The Bible states in Rev 21:3-4 [3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, 4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." NASU] The first things have passed away and God has made a new heaven and a new earth with no more sadness which leads one to think there will be no remembrance of our sinful past. Our relationship will be with the Father and the Son as in Rev 22:1,3-5 [1 Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, 3 There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him; 4 they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. 5 And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever. NASU]. We will not have the relationship of Gen 2:24 [For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. NASU]. Regarding heavenly relationships Jesus says in Matt 22:30 [30 "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. NASU]. We will be the bride of Christ! Bless the Lord, Phillip |

8 | WILL WE HAVE BODIES? | Bible general Archive 1 | Phillip | 10360 | ||
This is intended to answer only the focus of your question. 1 Cor 15:35-53 35 But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?" 36 You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies; 37 and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38 But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own. 39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish. 40 There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. 47 The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly. 49 Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly. 50 Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. NASU Paul is saying that we will die with this mortal body which is the seed from which will come our heavenly body in an immortal form. Phil 3:20-21 20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21 who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself. NASU 1 John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. NASU Our resurrected body is promised but not described in scripture. There is much about heaven that is so wonderful that we are not able to conceive of it even if God told us in detail. 2 Cor 12:2-4 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago -- whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows -- such a man was caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I know how such a man -- whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows -- 4 was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak. NASU In His Name, Phillip |

9 | CAN A CHRISTIAN FALL FROM GRACE? | Bible general Archive 1 | Phillip | 10477 | ||
Nolan, I agree with you but I dislike the term "lose their salvation". You cannot "lose" something that you reject. I prefer the term "reject their salvation" or "fall from grace". Here are some related scriptures. Gal 5:1-4 It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. 2 Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. 3 And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. 4 You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. NASU Heb 6:4-6 4 For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. NASU Heb 10:35-39 35 Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. 37 FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE, HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY. 38 BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH; AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM. 39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul. NASU 2 Peter 3:17-18 17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness, 18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. NASU These verses and many others make it very difficult to be dogmatic against the possibility of falling from grace. What we must do is reconcile these verses with the promise of God for salvation. The following are examples. 2 Cor 1:21-22 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God, 22 who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge. NASU Eph 1:13-14 13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation -- having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory. NASU The question lies with whether you believe man receives Christ by his free will. If so, then he may also reject Christ by his free will. Free will is not taken away after salvation. Eph 4:30 Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. NASU In Christ, Phillip 2 Tim 2:19 Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are His," NASU |

10 | Created for heaven or hell? | Bible general Archive 1 | Phillip | 11187 | ||
Proorizo, I think your question maybe answered with just a couple of verses. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. NASU If God does not want any to perish, but rather for all to come to repentance, He did not create some with the intent of sending them to hell. However, they who do not repent choose hell for themselves. Matt 25:41 "Then He will also say to those on His left, "Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; NASU Hell was not intended for mankind. The devil and his angels are destined for hell. However, unrepentant mankind will join the devil in the eternal lake of fire. Rev 20:10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. NASU Rev 20:15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. NASU His Word is Truth, Phillip |

12 | Who created all things? | Gen 1:1 | Phillip | 4307 | ||
Read the following verses to give you insight. John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 10:30 "I and the Father are one." John 16:28 "I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to the Father." John 17:5 "Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was. Col 1:16-17 16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities -- all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. Heb 1:1-3 God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, 2 in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. 3 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, May God Bless, Phil |

13 | How old is the earth scripturally? | Gen 1:1 | Phillip | 4309 | ||
The Bible gives specific years of lifespans and timeframes of events (such as the time of slavery in Egypt) to determine the time from Adam to Solomon. There is enough agreement as to the date of the reign of Solomon that it can be added to the previous years to give us a total age of the Earth. This is approximately 6177 years according to my study. There is no exact date known because of several difficulties but the Bible is far from silent on the issue. An excellent book on the subject written by Harold Camping has a unique insight into how to date the Earth and offers an even older age of the Earth of over 13,000 years. The book is called "Adam When" and can be ordered from www.familyradio.com without charge. The book does not contradict my calculations, it simply offers insight that I did not have. I would highly recommend that you order it to see if his understanding is correct in your eyes. If anyone would like a copy of my detailed charts from Adam to Solomon so they may see for themselves, simply e-mail me at peacock@grapevine.net and I will mail them to you.

14 | How old is the earth scripturally? | Gen 1:1 | Phillip | 4312 | ||
There is an important difficulty regarding the Gospel as to the assumption of an Earth of millions or billions of years old. The Bible is clear that death did not enter into the world until after sin. Rom 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned -- In the case of an old Earth, there could have been no death for m's or b's of years while the Earth was being formed. That would mean that the theory of evolution and the Bible cannot both be true as evolution contends that there has been death for m's and b's of years. That would also mean that God did not create Heaven and Earth in 6 days as He said He did. Ex 31:17 "It is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He ceased from labor, and was refreshed." I am not prepared to call God a liar. Heb 6:18...in which it is impossible for God to lie, The only possibility for a different assumption would be that Adam lived in the Garden of Eden for m's or b's of years before the fall. My question to that is why would God take m's and b's of years for the Earth to evolve and only one day to create all of the solar system or all of the fish or animals? Since the Bible says that Adam brought sin and death into the world after the seventh day of creation, there could not have been death before that. Jesus died for the sins of the world from Adam on and not before. If you change the account of Genesis to fit man's account of creation, you will also have to change the Gospel. May His Name be Blessed Forevermore, Phillip |

15 | Are there angels before earth was formed | Gen 1:1 | Phillip | 4313 | ||
The answer is yes if you accept that angels are described in v 7 of the following passage of Job 38:1-7 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, 2 "Who is this that darkens counsel By words without knowledge? 3 "Now gird up your loins like a man, And I will ask you, and you instruct Me! 4 "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding, 5 Who set its measurements? Since you know. Or who stretched the line on it? 6 "On what were its bases sunk? Or who laid its cornerstone, 7 When the morning stars sang together And all the sons of God shouted for joy? See Gen 6:4 and Job 1:6 about the sons of God. To God be the Glory, Phillip |

My New Friend, Daninjapan, I appreciate your spirit of reasoning from the scriptures and I hope through this discussion that we both discover God's gracious truth about His creation through His Word. You have succeeded in relating your thoughts very well and I hope that I may do the same. May God's Holy Spirit lead us into all truth. May I begin by addressing the term evolution as I believe it pertains to our discussion. I would venture to say that those who follow an "old earth creation" as you describe were nonexistent before the evolutionary theories began to emerge in past centuries. Evolutionary thought has had a devastating affect upon believers up to the present day. You may not believe in evolution in it's full implications but the old earth creation view is a stepchild of it's theory of large units of time needed for change and development. You use the terminology "the bulk of the evidence" for which am I wrong to believe is scientific evidence (which changes continually, unlike God) which has been gathered from an evolutionary biased view? I assert that the bulk of the biblical evidence denies the claim of millions of years for creation. I appreciate your support of Dr Hugh Ross and I do not doubt his or your sincerity, but I fear that you may be trying to make scripture fit your belief rather than letting your belief be molded by scripture. May I suggest that you visit the web site of Dr Carl Baugh, a former evolutionist, who discovers the scientific truth of creation without violating the integrity of the Hebrew or Greek text. This allows science to be a servant of the Word of God instead of it's master. www.creationevidence.org You have brought up several thought provoking thoughts pertaining to the Genesis account and I would like to comment on them as well as add a few of my own. Before sin, God called His creation good (1:4,10,12,18,21,25) and in Gen 1:31 it was very good. I do not believe that God would call creation good if it was marred by death of any kind (spiritual,physical, human,animal or plant). Although God gave the plant life for food, (1:30) they did not die. Plants that die from consumption were not yet created (2:5, ...plant of the field). After sin, God cursed the creation (3:14-19) which resulted in physical death (1:19). If physical death was introduced by the curse, then there was no physical death previously. As you stated, Adam and Eve died spiritually when they disobeyed God (ate the fruit) and their physical death was a secondary result. However, God was not literally speaking of spiritual death in 2:17, (for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die) but rather physical death. The word translated die is the Hebrew word taamuwt, which means "to die, to kill, to have one executed, to die (as a penalty), to be put to death, to die prematurely by the neglect of wise moral conduct (from The Online Bible Thayer's Greek Lexicon and Brown Driver, Briggs Hebrew Lexicon, Copyright (c)1993). The verse is denoting the penalty of disobedience, not in an immediate sense of that very day but as an inevitable result or consequence of sin. The spiritual death is made known by God's rejection of Adam and Eve by driving them out (3:24) from the Garden of Eden, thereby separating man from God until Christ reunites us by His atonement if we believe. Therefore they died spiritually first and physically later as the natural result of spiritual death is physical death. It may be noted that the first instance of death and sacrifice was after the fall when God clothed Adam and Eve with animal skins (3:21). I must continue this in another note. I will label it "creation continued". Phillip |

17 | How old is the earth scripturally? | Gen 1:1 | Phillip | 4461 | ||
Creation Continued - As for God resting on the seventh day, is it unreasonable to say that God literally created the heavens and the earth in six 24 hour increments, even though He is outside of space and time, and that He could also rest from creating for a literal 24 hour period? As you said, God could have created the heavens and the earth in 6 minutes if He wanted to, but He did it in six 24 hour days and rested on the seventh for a reason. He was giving Israel an example to follow just as Christ has given us an example to follow. God gave Israel the law and used His creation to lead them into following it as Ex 20:9-11 shows, (9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy). Jesus gives us the example of how to live our lives every day of the week including the Sabbath, (Matt 12:12 ...So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath) You are very observant in noting the difficulty of Adam naming all of the animals in one day. I am not learned in the science of species but I am aware that there are myriad more kinds of dogs then there were in the beginning because of cross breeding. The same is true of other animals and plants as well. I have no idea how many different kinds of cattle and beasts of the field there were in the beginning, but I accept God's word and believe that there were not too many for Adam to name especially since God brought them to him (2:19). Another fascinating aspect of this is much better explained by Dr Carl Baugh. He speaks about the mental and physical capacity of Adam before the fall as compared to man today who is suffering from the effects of degenerating sin. The comparison is of a perfectly created man made in the image of God versus a fallen man. I have no response for you about God's usage of evening and morning but I thank you for pointing it out to me so I may seek to understand it. I will offer you an interesting question as to God's design plan that you may not have noticed before. God created vegetation and trees on the third day and then created the sun on the fourth day. Now I would have done it differently. I don't know why He did it that way except maybe to disprove those who believe that God took 6 thousand years instead of 6 days for creation. That would mean that vegetation and trees would have had to survive for one thousand years before sunlight was created. Glory to the Lord Almighty, Phillip |

Daninjapan, My Learned Friend, I apologize for my over zealousness in linking old age creationism to evolutionary thought. Obviously you have researched this matter more than I. I will try to refrain from comments that I have little knowledge about which I'm afraid will severely limit my input to any topic. I will however continue to risk being wrong with regard to scripture with the hope of that not happening or that I may learn from my errors, both to God's glory. May I ask if it would be correct to assume that old age creationists believe all of the rest of God's word except that He made the heavens and the earth in 6 days? In my ignorance, I do have difficulty in believing that scientists of astronomy (big bang) and geology (rock and strata formations taking millions of years to form) are independent of evolutionary theories. I have not timed it myself but I do not argue that light from some stars takes millions of light years to reach earth. However I believe God is capable of creating a universe of immeasureable dimensions and having it in complete working order at the instant of creation with starlight from the farthest stars reaching earth in the same instant. Just as I believe He made Adam a complete and perfect, fully functional adult at the instant of his formation from dust. I appreciate your investigating Dr Baugh's website and I am sorry there is not the detailed observations there as are in his books and videos. Unfortunately, I cannot begin to do his work justice and we will leave it at that. I took your advice and viewed the link to Dr Ross's website about the book "starlight and time" but it is far above me both intellectually and physically. You showed your resourcefulness again by pointing out that many species (kinds) have become extinct. I do not have the ability to do as you suggested to compute the total kinds of animals God made at creation, just the faith to believe He did what He said. May I say that your last point has always intrigued me about creation, as to what God actually did when He created light on day one and then light giving celestial bodies on day 4. I must say I find your theory to be somewhat swayed by evolution (atmospheric clearing) but I do not have a theological response that I can back up with scripture at this time. I have enjoyed our discussion but we seem to be equally entrenched in our different views on this subject and I don't believe we will change each other's mind but hopefully we have served to deepen our dependence upon God and His magnificence. I am sincerely thankful that our God's ways are "so far above our ways" yet He loves us enough to send His son to die for us that we may be restored to Him and someday reside with Him in His glorious heaven. Amen? May the Lord Richly Bless You, Phillip |

Hi Daninjapan, It seems we are back to the central basis for some different interpretation of and reasoning from scripture, the question of whether God did what He said He did, create the heavens and the earth in six days. If we believe He did everything else that He said He did in Genesis, then accepting a six day creation and the following length of lifespans would give us the age of the earth less the time Adam was living the "good" life in Eden for which the Bible does not say. If God misled us in His creation account, then who is to say He does not mislead us in other areas of His word (Rom 3:4 May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar...). Dan, please consider taking God for His word and not relying upon old earth creationists or gap theory proponents to guide your understanding (1 Cor 3:18-20, 18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, "He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS"; 20 and again, "THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS."). The God of creation loves you very much and I have grown in brotherly love for you also. If I am in error, may the Holy Spirit convict with the word of God, and I hope you feel the same. Your Brother in Christ, Phillip . |

Shadow, I might add a few more verses to strengthen your answer to your friend. They are Matt 13:55,John 2:12,John 7:3-10,Acts 1:14,1 Cor 9:5 and Gal 1:19. I hope you can get your friend to seek the truth of these scriptures and begin to question the traditions of the Catholic Church. You are up against a powerful religion of man which cannot be overcome by the reason of man, but only by the spirit of truth. Remember to let the Holy Spirit do the convicting and be willing as God draws them to Himself. May the Lord Bless Your Efforts, Phillip |
