10042 | Is being "slain in the spirit" biblical? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 5247 | ||
I do not think being "slain in the spirit" is biblical. Were Daniel, John and maybe even Saul (Paul) slain? There were others like Moses, Joshua and Isaiah who experienced God, yet did not fall to the ground as a dead man, which apply to Daniel and John only. These two got up when the Lord touched them. | ||||||

I have extracted stuff for con and pro. Like other topics, it is not important to me. Steve Con .... Dispensationalism is a form of premillennialism originating among the Plymouth Brethren in the early 1830s. The father of dispensationalism, John Nelson Darby, educated as a lawyer and ordained Anglican priest, was one of the chief founders of the Plymouth Brethren movement, which arose in reaction against the perceived empty formalism of the Church of England. To the Brethren the true invisible church was to come out of the apostate visible Church, rejecting such forms as priesthood and sacraments. Source: http://www.frii.com/ then gosplow/disp2.html ... or use a tidle Pro ... Some critics assume that dispensationalism is a recent doctrine invented by Dr. C. I. Scofield, editor of the famous Scofield Reference Bible, and J. N. Darby; implying that dispensationalism is a doctrine of modern times and does not have Biblical authority. However, research will show that neither C. I. Scofield or J. N. Darby are the inventors of dispensationalism or the final authority on the subject. From the first century, writers believed in different economies or administrations. Bible instructor Larry V. Crutchfield, of Baumholder, West Germany, has written an article titled Ages and Dispensations Of The Ante-Nicene Fathers. In it he points out that the Fathers of early church history believed in divisions of history based on God's dealings with man. He states, Among those whose doctrine of ages and dispensations has survived from the Ante-Nicene period are Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, Methodius, and to a minor degree Victorinus of Petau. Crutchfield says that Barnabas year-day tradition is the earliest budding of the dispensational understanding of God's dealings with man. Source: http://www.biblebelievers.com/BlueDISP.html |

God could of done a number of things. It is a question He'll be asked by many. Have NASA computers really proven Joshua's 'long day'? No. They deny that it ever took place. Plus theere is a need for a starting point of time, too. The story goes back to Charles A. L. Totten’s "Joshua’s Long Day and the Dial of Ahaz: A Scientific Vindication" (1890), before computers. |

One of the most common manifestations is that of being 'slain in the Spirit', when a person loses all motor control over their body and falls to the floor or ground. Advocates of the practice make a claim that there is Scriptural warrant for this sign. But does this claim hold up? Let's look at the Bible references thatare used to support the practice. - The reference in Chronicles (2 Chronicles 5:14) is about when the Ark was brought to the completed Temple. During the service, right before Solomon spoke, "the Lord's house was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud". - The first Matthew reference (Matthew 17:6) is to the Transfiguration, where God showed the three key disciples what the significance of the Law and the Prophets were: that Jesus was greater, as the living fulfillment of them. It was a direct and unique encounter with the divine Presence, enough to make anyone quiver. - The second Matthew reference (Matthew 28:4) is about the guards at Jesus' tomb, literally paralyzed by fear when the angel appeared, sitting on the rolled-away stone. - The John reference (John 18:6) is to the action of the Roman soldiers when they reached Jesus to arrest Him. When they heard him identify himself, they retreated from him and fell to the ground. In this case, in answering that he's the one they seek to arrest, Jesus uses a term that people in the Middle East, Gentile and Jew alike, could have recognized as the name of the Jewish God, "I Am". Given why they went to arrest him, that would've taken me aback for a moment had I heard it. - The Acts reference (Ac 9:4-8) is to Paul's Damascus Road experience, where Saul was blinded (v.8) by light from heaven (v.3) and fell to the ground, probably from the shock of what had happened to him. His fellow travelers heard the voice, but saw nothing except Saul's reactions and blindness. Paul recounts this experience before the Jews in Jerusalem, in Acts 22, and again before Agrippa in Acts 26. The Revelations reference (Rv 1:17) was of John, the writer of the Revelation, speaking of the vision which gave him the messages to the churches in Asia Minor. This vision was one of seeing the glorified Christ in His full heavenly setting. It is said in the Old Testament that the sight of God is too much for humans to take. John, at least in this vision, got to see the most see-able part of divinity, that of Jesus, but in its heavenly setting, even that much was too much, and John fell at His feet "like a dead man". Then, Christ laid his hand on him, to calm his fears. (Also, read Dan. 10:5ff) In only one of these cases was there anyone falling down because of things that happened during a worship service or a church gathering, and that was at the original Temple in Jerusalem, when God moved into it for a home and thus started a new phase in the divine covenant with the Jewish nation. This was an unparalleled act that made for effective power over an entire society, unbeliever as well as believer. In none of these cases did it happen because anyone laid hands on or said prayers over anyone. In Revelation, Christ gives John a hand of comfort after John falls down. Similarly, Jesus gives that same assuring hand to the disciples after the Transfiguration. Robert Longman Jr |

10051 | Did Jesus back up His claim in Jno 8:58? | John 8:58 | Searcher56 | 5108 | ||
His word is enough ... and the Jews knew what He was saying. In Mark 2:5, Jesus forgave the paralytic's sins. The leaders knew only God could do this (vv. 6-7). Jesus then proved who He was (vv. 8-10). There is much more. Jesus never changes (Hebrews 13:8). |

Italicized words are becuase the translaters want help (sic) us becuase we may not get the full meaning. They sometimes add or take away from the meaning. He is the I AM ... which means He was God. He hads no beginning or end. Steve |

10054 | How do you know you have the Holy Ghost? | Acts 19:2 | Searcher56 | 5076 | ||
I know that I've received the HOly Ghost, becuae the Bible says so. Paul asked, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" He indwells believers at the moment of salvation. Some passages are: - Act. 2:38 Note, be baptized is in the future tense. Repent and receive the Holy Spirit are in the present. - Rom. 8:9 When we believe we belong to Him. - 1Co. 6:19 Our bodies is a temple of the Holy Spirit. - 1Co. 12:13 He unifies us. See below. - Gal. 3:2 We recieve Him by believing what we heard. 7 NT passages talk about baptism and the Holy Spirit, with varying prepositions reflect the fact He is both the agent and sphere of this baptism. 6 contrast John's baptism in water with Jesus' future baptism in the Holy Spirit (Mat. 3:11, Mark 1:8, Luk. 3:16, John 1:33, Act. 1:5, 11:16). The seventh is 1 Cor. 12:13, which refers to the initiation of all the Corinthian Christians into the church. How do I know it? A sign gift is not required. It is because my nature has changed. |

10055 | Simon of Cyrene | Matt 27:32 | Searcher56 | 5074 | ||
Nothing in the Bible ... He was from Cyerene, in Africa. He may of been a Jew, and had to be there because of the Passover. Yes, it could of never been exposed to Christ before ... and could of been yelling "Crucify Him", or may not been able to get into the city because of the crowd. He may of gone to Rome with his sons. All three sons of Noah were part of this scene. The son Shem - Christ, Japheth - the soldiers and Ham - Simon. |

10056 | What creatures are small and wise? | Prov 30:24 | Searcher56 | 5073 | ||
(25) Ants understand time, the seasons. They use the present, to prepare for the future. The story “The Ant and the Grasshopper” tells us one worked in the summer while the other played. There were five wise and five foolsh virgins, the later were not ready for the bridegrooms coming. Are we prepared for the cold/ hard times of life? Even more important are we prepared for the end time? (26) Rock badgers understand security. They know enough to hide themsleves in the crags, the cleft of the rock. They know they are weak, too. Where is our security? Do we get too far from the Rock of our salvation, so when the evil one comes we run to and fro? (27) Locusts understand unity. By themsleves, they can be stompped. A swarm of them can destroy quickly and completely. They do not have a leader. We are the body of Christ, each part needs to do its part, for if we do not, we all suffer. (28) Lizards understand place. Do you want to hold the slimy creature? I think not. That may be why they can be found in the best place to live. We are slimy creatures, we are sinners. One day we will live in the palace of the King. Steve |

10058 | is ten percent the scriptural tithe | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 5009 | ||
No ... give more. There is a second tithe brought yearly to the tabernacle and eaten before the Lord (Deu. 12:6,7,17-19; 14:22-27) There is a third tithe, every third year to promote hospitality and charity (Deu. 14:28,29; 26:12-15). Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek (Gen. 14:20; Heb. 7:6); and Jacob vowed unto the Lord to give a tenth (Gen. 28:22). These were given before the Law. Do not count all your seeds to make sure you give a tenth of all and neglect something greater - justice, mercy, and faith (Mat. 23:23). This passage says that we should no stop tithing. |

10059 | Is speaking in tongues for today? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 5004 | ||
Tongues is a known language (Acts 2:6). It says they heard them speak in their own tongue. 1 Cor. 14 is a great passage. Prophesy is a better gift. It is a sign for unbelievers, not us I know a person who did not study a language and was able to talk with a native, in his own language, tho he thought he was speaking English. Also, a visitor to a church, said John 3:16 in Greek. The, it was interpeted in correctly. The Greek speaker, said it was wrongly interpeted ... and it was confirmed by a member who knew Greek. There are cases where Satan has copied this gift. Tongues is for today, but, many teach it incorrectly. BTW, what language did the angels speak when they spoke to man? I believe in the language the listener understood. Steve |
