1 | What is the abomination of desolation? | Not Specified | ominous | 157580 | ||
I read that the jewish nation plans to rebuild Solomon's Temple.Though they are having problems deciding on an exact location, they intend to build it some where in Jerusalem, if not in the original location. This would cause turmoil in the middle east (as if there isn't enough already!) as opposing nations all try to stake their claim of the Holy Land. since the Temple was a symbol of God's peace, and he allowed it to be destroyed as a sign that there would be no peace concerning that region until the return of his Son to rule in righteousness, this temple is the will of man and not God! Is it possible then that this is what Christ spake of in matthew 24:15 "The Abomination of Desolation?" | ||||||
2 | What of Baptism? | Bible general Archive 2 | ominous | 153588 | ||
baptism was at first, an outward showing of faith and was symbolic of being made clean through faith. but after the resurrection jesus said in acts 1:5 that we would be baptized by the spirit. to me baptism is a ritual, and some who partake in ritual, think the ritual itself gives them more virtue than another. same as the jews thinking the law gave them more virtue than the gentiles. | ||||||
3 | Ominus what say you? | Bible general Archive 2 | ominous | 153594 | ||
i did not say that the bible called baptism a ritual. i called it a ritual. it was just a right of passage an outward showing of faith.i am redeemed by christ, as there are many who, being baptised turn back. as for scripture well let's see; theres matt 3:11, mark 1:8, luke 3:16, john 1:33 all say about the same thing, then theres 1cor 1:17, hebrews 5:12-14 which end the thought in 6:1-2 and in the old testament theres jer 2:22 nitre by the way is a hard soap and if you're one of those who dont read the old testament read matt 13:52 in hebrews 6 when paul says leaving the principles of the doctrine of christ, he is reffering to the basics, and saying we or the church should be growing in understanding and not stuck in an infantile mentality. | ||||||

5 | What of Baptism? | Bible general Archive 2 | ominous | 153602 | ||
did you even read the scriptures i posted? basptism is a symbol of faith, not a means for salvation. yes faith is necessary for salvation, faith in christ, but you are not doomed for non-baptism. mark 16:17 said we would speak in tongues, do you also believe that we are doomed if we dont speak in tongues? 1 corinthians 12 said not all would do so. i simply mean that baptism is not necessary for redemption. not by works, lest any one should boast! | ||||||
6 | What of Baptism? | Bible general Archive 2 | ominous | 153635 | ||
when the church was originally formed, it was for the most part one body. sure there were little sects on this and that, but to me the teachings were more unified; as the doctrine was "new" to most. but now! there hundereds of sects. all claiming to be the "truth" i have not found one particular denomonation whose doctrine i fully agree with. my doctrine is the bible, and if you look at most denominations they stem from some disagreement that caused them to branch off from another.paul said that the body was to be unified, of one mind, "beware the concision" he warned. so for me to be baptised into this or that denomination it would be necessary for me to conform fully to its teachings. and i just havent found that yet.don't misunderstand i am a conservative christian. and do teach my children, and tell them of christ and his gift of love toward us. 1 john 4:1 tells us that we should investigate to be sure: as paul said that we are convinced in our own minds; to me this implies investigation. so thats my main "hinderance" from being baptised. and as a result, i do not feel that this is disobedience but the opposite! i take this very seriously, and christ has wrought great works in my life; as i look to him to guide me, so i do not feel that this discretion is counted as error toward me. i really love the fact that you all are so passionate. | ||||||

no contention here. i am at peace. i cannot clarify my reasons any further than i already have. ask me a specific question, and i'll give you a specific answer. as for myself; i have no internal strife or conflict. | ||||||
8 | What of Baptism? | Bible general Archive 2 | ominous | 153666 | ||
i never said that i was'nt baptized. my parents had me baptized as a child, then i did it again as a teenager. but i later started studying and enjoying the truth that i found in the scriptures. let me ask a question; in rev 5:10 it tells us that christ made us kings and priests, doing away with the levitical priesthood. is it then not acceptable for one to baptize the members of his own house in the name of christ? | ||||||
9 | The Interpreation of #'s | Bible general Archive 2 | ominous | 153668 | ||
the biblical understanding of numbers comes mostly from writings not found in our bible. the kabalah is the most common place to find them. 5 reps. power, severity, or judgement. 3 does not really rep. the holy trinity, rather the trinity is an expression of three. three is understanding.one is the head or crown, which reps. god, two is wisdom symbolized by the reflection of god, three is understanding which is expressed as a woman; the wife of two. the union or marriage of two and three, resulting in creation.easily inderstood as the father, son, and holy spirit. | ||||||
10 | The Interpreation of #'s | Bible general Archive 2 | ominous | 153682 | ||
the best place to find out about the spiritual signifigance is the kabalah. though considered "occult" by many today, it was common practice in old times. the number 5 represents power, severity,and or justice.(depending on the context). three does not really mean "the holy trinity" as modern christianity understands it. but the trinity is an expression of 1,2,and 3 combined. one is the crown:knowledge; meaning god. two is wisdom; the reflection, or image of one, the son. three is understanding; the wife of two, also being another emmination of one. from the union or marriage of two and three proceeds the creation. this is what is known as the trinity today. the rest are, four is mercy, six is beauty, seven is completion, eight is glory, nine is foundation, 10 is kingdom. | ||||||

okay guys, i am not recomending kabalah to anyone. he asked a question, concerning numerology, he stated that seven represented completion, there are no biblical teachings on numerology, the only place i ever came across numerical symbology defined was in kabalistic writings. i am not practicing it or condoning it i was merely trying to answer his question. of course over the years i have come in contact with it as well as many other things, as i'm sure many of you have. i know the teachings of the bible are supreme, and not to be mingled with other phylosophy. and by the way to whoever wrote that all scripture was to be taken literally, your wrong! do you really expect a seven headed dragon to come out of the ocean? you guys sure are judgmental. | ||||||

2 peter 2:2, hebrews 5:12-14,(meat and strong meat are in this case allegories for knowledge,useable according to age and,or development) as i said i do not mix doctrine. but i believe that if you have strong root in christ, then you can discerne between good and evil,and not fear error.it is written that we have an unction to know all things, and again that we have the mind of christ.if never exposed to evil, then how would you know good? never did i say that the spirit of god had to depend on any thing occult. those are your words. if you read the original question, it was not really scripture based. besides a reference to the seven days of creation; so how can i answer it with scripture? how would you have answered it? or would you have not responded at all? the interpretation of #'s | ||||||
13 | Noah took 7 clean but only 2 unclean ? | Gen 9:3 | ominous | 153637 | ||
because the clean were to be used as food by noah and his family, during and after the flood. genesis 9:3. see also leviticus 11 for clean and unclean animals. | ||||||
14 | Abel's flocks | Gen 9:3 | ominous | 153638 | ||
i believe they did eat meat before the flood, else as you said, why would abel keep sheep? abel not only kept flocks but sacrificed as well! also in genesis 1:26 what would be the signifigance of haveing dominion over fish, if not to eat them? | ||||||
15 | Noah took 7 clean but only 2 unclean ? | Gen 9:3 | ominous | 153703 | ||
matt 5:17-19 there is much to say concerning this but right now i must defend myself, as i'm being attacked, and my "christian-ness" questioned. but your right! talk more later. | ||||||
16 | Noah took 7 clean but only 2 unclean ? | Gen 9:3 | ominous | 153787 | ||
thanx, you are right about that, the new and old testaments don't contradict each other, not only regarding clean and unclean animals, on anything!as god cannot contradict himself. some times there are misunderstandings because of translation problems. example; exodus 20:13, thou shalt not kill; then dueteronomy 19:21,life for life,eye for eye; the original word in hebrew translated as "kill" in english, is murder. as in premeditated. you don't just take everything at face value, i like that! if you really want the truth you sometimes have to dig, and most people don't want to do that! but in genesis 3:19 god said, in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread. | ||||||

Hey Swerv, concerning the sabbath, according to ancient tradition, niether saturday or sunday is actually correct. Our calander is based off of the sun, and God originally used the moon as an indicator. As in Genisis 1:5,the day began at night fall, since darkness preceeded light. "The evening and the morning were the fist day". Originally we used the new moon to mark the first day of the month, which the night of the new moon was a sabbath, then we would count the days, the seventh being the sabbath, but with our modern calander, the day of the week on which the sabbath falls varies from month to month.Ezekiel 46:1,Amos 8:5,Ezra 3:5, Hosea 2:11, all prove that the new moon was a Holy Day. Technically Sunday is the first day of the week. But as Paul said in Colossians 2:16, no man can judge you wether you keep these days holy or not; Romans 14:5. The most important thing now is to get ourselves right with the Lord! Which brings us to the next subject, repentance;To make a change for the better as a result of remorse or contrition for one's sins. Jesus had a message; repent and sin no more! Luke 13:3, John 5:14, John 8:11. 1John 3:4 tells us that sin is transgression of the law! Mathew 5:17 tells us that the law is in effect, verse 19 says we should not teach that the law is null and void. Also in Isaiah 66:22-23, God says that we will keep the sabbath (law) in the Kingdom. Christ took away the penalty of the law, which is death; bringing grace. not the law itself. For he is the will of the father in the flesh, and as the scripture says; Can two walk together, except they be agreed? | ||||||
18 | Where is Zion? | 1 Kin 8:1 | ominous | 154359 | ||
1 Kings tells us that Zion is the city of David,(Bethlehem). Zion is also used to sometimes symbolize the people (Israel)as in Isaiah 28:16. The word Zion comes from a hebrew word that means monument. As God originally meant for the Israelites to be his monument on earth, an example for the nations to follow. Other names for the nation include: Jerusalem, Jeshurun, Jacob, The daughters of Zion, depending on the context in which they are used. | ||||||
19 | can you help me defind Zion | 1 Kin 8:1 | ominous | 154362 | ||
In Hebrew the word Zion means monument, mountain, something unmovable. The word is used in different ways in the scriptures, sometimes to designate the region in and around Jerusalem as in 1 Kings 8:1. and sometimes to designate the people or Israelites. Originally the Israelites were the only people who had a relationship with God. Psalms 147:20, so they were to be the monument on earth to represent God and to be an example for the other nations to follow who never knew the one true God. | ||||||
20 | What prophecies were fulfilled by Christ | Ps 22:1 | ominous | 154705 | ||
Psalms 22 for starters,is practicly word for word exactly what took place at his crucifixion, Isaiah 53 also gives account of his life and death, and his intercession for us. The old testament as a whole prophecied of his comming, and was fulfilled in him. I seem to sense that this question is rooted in contention. | ||||||
