dodoy Thank you very much for finally getting to your point. I have been here waiting for you to arrive. To tell you the truth at first I was thinking you were just playing word games until I myself thought of the two 12 hr. periods of time for the Jew. Which then for me explained the verse satisfactorily and your assertion of the proper word usage. Very well presented I don't see any dots that haven't been connected:-) Gods day to you lightedsteps |

6 | Is thea a difference btwn a church,temple n synagog | Bible general Archive 4 | lightedsteps | 220130 | ||
Hi jily Church 1) A building as we use the word today. - - Christian Religion 2) New Testament times to the present - - the people. 3) Jesus was not talking about a building. Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Temple 1) A building Old Testiment times and today. - - Jewish Religion 2) The building in Jerusalem built by Solomon as per the plans given to David by God for the dwelling place of His Glory. I personally believe that to be the Holy Spirit. 2Ch 6:2 But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever. 3) New Testament times to the present - - the people. 1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? Synagogue 1) A building as we use the word today. - - Jewish Religion 2) The people - - the worshipers Psa 22:3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. While it is true these three words are descriptive of specific buildings which are used by different religions for their worship of God they are also descriptive of the people of God themselves. lightedsteps |

7 | Aren't there differences? | Bible general Archive 4 | lightedsteps | 220140 | ||
Hi MAC702 The following are the verses which are almost always left out of this discussion. 1Ti 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 1Ti 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 1Ti 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 1Ti 2:15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. These verses cover what all of the other verses cited so far are conveying but there is a continuity of thought to be found in these from Timothy covering the complete thought whereas the others just touch on it. In my opinion Paul is saying. Man being formed first was given an Authority to lead that the woman was not. The man in all cases is always responsible for the weaker vessel. Yes there are exceptions to this rule because God in His Sovereignty will use whomever He chooses. But those times that women were or have been used cannot be construed as a blanket giving of Authority from that point on. Because the Authority (position held) did not pass on to another woman it ended when the need ended these were unique events where women were used instead of men. lightedsteps |

Hi srbaegon I apologize for inadvertently offending you. I wrote my comment after I had read the thread on the evening of the 10th but just as I was going to post my computer crashed. Whereupon my return on the morning of the 11th I did not re-read the thread. If I had done so as you say I would have seen that Beja did make comment to the verses I posted. But even if I did not read the thread and just posted as you think has my posting disrupted the continuity of the thoughts made thus far? It could be taken as a reiteration of the post by Beja. Just wanted to clear up the misunderstanding you had. But now as we can see MAC702 asked a question instead of posting a note which he should have done. Therefore this thread should not have even happened so I guess this whole thread is now rendered moot. lightedsteps |

9 | Chgs - early Jeruselem Church structure? | Bible general Archive 4 | lightedsteps | 220295 | ||
Hi Flying_V Gods day to you, and welcome. Let me see, if memory serves, these two should fill the bill. These would constitute the hierarchy of the church, and why there is such a structure set in place. 1Co 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. Eph 4:11 11) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12) For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13) Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14) That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15) But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16) From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. The structure is Ordained of God. How you might ask? 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: The mere fact God inspired the writing of the Bible, means that He had the words written that you have just read, HE set His structure in it's place for His Church. Without a specific structure in the church, there would be chaos, anarchy, and that is something God would not condone within His church. Are you unaware, that God Himself set up a structure, which is to be found in the Universe, and Nature? God set up a structure for the Angels, then when He created the Earth He placed Man as the supreme being over all of His creation. Our God is a God of "ORDER," Satan is the author of "CONFUSION," without a specific structure set down by God Himself there would be no church. To fight against the structure to be found within the Church, is to fight against God Himself. Last of all, look at all of the countries of the world, they all have a government, the most crucial element in any government is authority, in this you see the structure, hierarchy. Be ever mindful, that "ALL" authority comes from God, He makes Kings to both rise, and fall, to fulfil His purposes in the Earth. He does the same with the government of the church. Heb 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. Hope this clears things up for you lightedsteps |

11 | Noah | Bible general Archive 4 | lightedsteps | 220500 | ||
Hi Brad It just seems as though Noah was very harsh for such a menial offence. Could there be, a connection of these two passages, for a better understanding of just why Noah cursed his son Ham, and his descendants? Gen. 9:21-24 21. And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 22. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 23. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness. 24. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. Lev 18:6-8 6. None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD. 7. The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 8. The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness. lightedsteps |

12 | Noah | Bible general Archive 4 | lightedsteps | 220517 | ||
Hi Aileen you said "And for that matter, why are we today still paying for Adam and Eve's GREAT sin why make decendants pay for something their silly ancestors did?" It isn't something as simple as Adam sinning and us paying for that sin while He gets off Scott free. It cost him his intimate relationship with God and now he would start to age and eventually die. The sin was in the gaining of the knowledge of good and evil. It would be the same as saying you will sin to gain the knowledge of good and evil and the knowledge of good and evil will then cause you to sin. Having anything to do with this knowledge causes sin. This knowledge became part of his nature it was knowledge he didn't possess up until that time. Knowledge that God didn't want man to possess. God knew this knowledge could not be held within earthen vessels without further sinning therefore God forbid him this knowledge. God possessed this knowledge but God is not flesh and blood as we were created by Him. That acquired sin nature is what has been passed on to us. That perfect nature created by God was now corrupted by that knowledge. So you see it isn't as though we are just paying for that sin we have inherited the nature of Adam which was now a sin nature. That is the fall of Adam the fall from what he was created to/for to what he had become by sinning what he lost was he was created perfect and he chose to add to it corruption. But God be praised that through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior we have been forgiven our sins and gained newness of life which is created in true Holiness and Righteousness. We have put off the old man with it's sinful nature and put on Christ. Having been reconciled to God through the blood of Christ we have come into His rest having ceased from our labors which would be our coming back to the Garden. We have had our Eternal Life restored. We will still die physically because we are still flesh and that was part of the curse. Rom 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Becoming a new creature in Christ means. While we still retain all of the attributes of the flesh. At the same time we have regained the attributes of the spirit that were lost in the fall by Adam. Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. In Christ we are now dead to the Sin nature of man and alive to the Spirit which is of God. I am of the belief that when the time of our death comes regardless of the circumstances our death will be likened to the death of Stephen. Act 7:60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. Grace be unto you lightedsteps |

13 | Jewish law during the millenium | Bible general Archive 4 | lightedsteps | 221363 | ||
Hey Guys Beja, keily I Have been enjoying the discussion. Could there be any chance of the possibility that from Matt.25:34...to ...Matt.25:41 there could be the 1,000 yrs. being spoken of? What I mean, there is just an account of two separate events taking place, without any mention of time. The judgement depicted in Matt.25 is clearly one judgement for both the saved, and the unsaved in one event. But these two judgements, could be 1000 years apart, couldn't they? Just a thought. lightedsteps. |

Hi again guys Beja, keily I'm not an "Amillennialist" --- "PREmillennialist" --- or even a "POSTmillenialist" I am one that could be called a "PANmillenialist" I fully trust in Gods plan for mankind, and that He hasn't made any mistakes thus far. Therefore I believe everything will PAN-OUT alright.:-) When it is time, Our Father, will make sure, His Children will know what is taking place. Just on a side note, when we read the fulfillment of prophesy, it is a literal fulfillment, ie, Jesus fulfilled prophesy literally, therefor how can we read a prophesy, that has not been fulfilled yet in a spiritual, or allegorical sense?

MamaMetal These verses say we are responsible for our own sins, and do not bear the sins (curses) of our fathers. Jer 31:29-33 29) In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. 30) But (EVERY ONE SHALL DIE FOR HIS OWN INIQUITY): every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. 31) Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32) Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: 33) But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. Eze 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: (THE SOUL THAT SINNETH, IT SHALL DIE). Eze 18:19-22 19) Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. 20) (THE SOUL THAT SINNETH, IT SHALL DIE. THE SON SHALL NOT BEAR THE INIQUITY OF THE FATHER, NEITHER SHALL THE FATHER BEAR THE INIQUITY OF THE SON: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 21) But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22) All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. With all of that now said. What you grew up with, becomes a learned way of living, what is abnormal actually becomes normal, if there isn't any counter example for you to observe. We make our own choices in life, regardless of how we were raised, we choose to be the same as our parents, or choose to be the opposite. To just believe we have no choice in the matter is a cop out. How many other things do you, and your children do, that are the same as you observed your parents do. besides the battering, yelling etc., but those things you would not change?

Hi Doc So then what you are saying is. These verses, really don't mean what they are saying? Eze.18:20 20) (THE SOUL THAT SINNETH, IT SHALL DIE. THE SON SHALL NOT BEAR THE INIQUITY OF THE FATHER, NEITHER SHALL THE FATHER BEAR THE INIQUITY OF THE SON: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. Deut. 24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. Where then is the scripture or scriptures, that supercede, or nullify what these do say? Grace be unto you lightedsteps |

lionheart Good day to you, please excuse the delay, and thanks for your input:-) In your saying "But how often have the consequences of ones sin impacted the lives of others." Yes people all the time, do end up holding the bag for the things other people have done, but that isn't quite the point is it? The question that was originally asked, was about generational sins, not there consequences. In other words, the children will commit the same sins of the parents, as a generational curse. IMHO the generational sins now under discussion, do not exist. Hypothetical: Two brothers, and one sister grow up in a family where the father is an alcoholic, and abuses the mother, these children see this abuse take place on a regular basis, when these three children are grown, getting married themselves, one brother drinks, and abuses his wife just as his father had done, the second brother does not drink or abuse his wife, but the sister, finds herself being abused like her mother was. So then if the sin of spousal abuse is passed on to the children in a generational curse, to the third and the fourth generation. Should not the curse pass on to all the children, or is this type of curse selective? Why would one brother be a drunk, and abuse, and the other not? Lastly what is the sin the sister is committing by being the one abused? Isn't this nothing more than, the learned behavior of two children observing, but then again the second brother having observed the same things,"CHOSE" to not drink, or abuse. Therefore in such things we do have a choice, there is no generational curse, it is nothing more than the fallen human nature, and learned behavior. Grace be unto you lightedsteps |

Hi RRHill Welcome to the forum Having found evidence in other places, that might shed some light on your question, I offer them for your approval Eph 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. Is not then the habitation of God, the place where God dwells, His kingdom? 1Pe 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an (HOLY PRIESTHOOD), to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a (ROYAL PRIESTHOOD), an (HOLY NATION), a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: So then according to Peter, believers are not only a Holy Priesthood, but a Royal Priesthood as well. Therefore from this teaching of Peters, he is saying believers are Kings, Priests, and a Nation,(Kingdom). When you put it all together, Christians are not only a Priesthood of Kings, but the Kingdom of God itself. The following comes from - - The Greek Interlinear Bible Rev. 5:10 and didst make them to the God of us a kingdom and priests, and they will reign on (?over) the earth. From this verse, it says they will (REIGN) which denotes Kingship for the believer. Grace be unto you lightedsteps |

Hi Doc It seems as though we are at crossed purposes. Your answer is in relation to the corporate, (Nation). I am answering the question as asked, which was in the singular. The question asked was "i think it says about the sins being carried through generations" Therefore I feel as though the answer I gave while being out of context to the Nations complaint, Gods answer to them was in a singular context. Eze 18:20 - Deut. 24:16 God is Sovereign, even though He judges each man for his own actions, He can still judge the nation as a whole. Grace be unto you lightedsteps |
