101 | Do you yet say that Jesus was just a man | John 9:24 | 2ndSamuel22 | 55624 | ||
Dear stokeyhk, To start with, please don't quote the NIV to me. I don't use it, I don't trust it. Let us quote Romans 9:5 from the KJV(my personal favorite, but I digress): "Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen." If you also read the verses before v5, you will see that the Apostle Paul is talking about Jesus' earthly bloodline being Jewish. That is the antecedent for the word "Whose". Also, notice, in the KJV, there is a comma after "Christ came", and in the translations you use, there is a period. Jamieson, Fausset and Brown have this to say on that subject: "To get rid of the bright testimony here borne to the supreme divinity of Christ, various expedients have been adopted: (1) To place a period, either after the words "concerning the flesh Christ came," rendering the next clause as a doxology to the Father--"God who is over all be blessed for ever"; or after the word "all"--thus, "Christ came, who is over all: God be blessed." See how easy it is to remove the Deity of Christ? In fact, in the KJV, you could almost put a comma between "God" and "blessed", and it would read even more clearly: "Christ came, who is over all, God, blessed for ever. Amen." Besides, in the other translations, the phrase "God be blessed forever", with the period before it, is akward. Have you ever read these versions and wondered how it fits in with the rest of the verse? It doesn't. Why? Because they are wrong! Besides, it doesn't fit in with Paul's style of writing. Now, the NKJV says thus: "of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen." Notice, "who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen." again, Jesus IS GOD!! Makarios said, "First born points to eternal preexistence." You said, "Why?" Why? Because in Colossians 1:16, "He is the firstborn over all creation"(NKJV) Using your own argument concerning the meaning of 'firstborn', He has existed since before creation. And you still have not answered concerning Genesis 1:1 in relation to Colossians 1:16. (By the way--about Proverbs 8:22--You really need to go back and read the whole chapter!! Solomon here is talking about WISDOM. This is NOT a Messaianic prophecy!!!) Now, touching on 'only begotten': Jesus the Word was in the bosom of God(John 1:18) since the beginning(John 1:1). He was 'begotten' in the sense that he was born in an earthly manner to walk the earth. His fleshly body was 'born', but He has always been(John 8:58--"Before Abraham was, I AM") Here's another verse for you to explore: Colossians 2:9--"For in him[Jesus] dwelleth ALL the FULLNESS of the Godhead bodily."(KJV) Strong's defines Godhead thus: 1) deity 1a) the state of BEING GOD, Godhead[capitalization added for emphasis] I truly hope you will research your position on this issue more clearly, and realize that Jesus was, is and always will be, God the Son!! God is my Strength and Power, and He makes my way perfect!! 2nd Samuel 22 PS: You wrote, "So in [Philippians 2:6], would you say Jesus not 'thinking it robbery to be equal to the Most High God' is an example of humility and unselfishness? Of course not!" So, what is meant by this verse, in your opinion? And the NIV tranlation of that verse is absurd! Please use another version. |

102 | Do you yet say that Jesus was just a man | John 9:24 | 2ndSamuel22 | 55642 | ||
Dear stokey, 1) Colossians 1:15--Yes, He is the first born over every group of creatures:"The firstborn of EVERY creature." So, Jesus is still preexistent before all creation(As in, "Reuben, Jacob's firstborn--Genesis 35:23) . Besides, look at verse 16: Paul says, "FOR by Him were all things creted...". That word 'for' emphasizes what he says in v15. Thus rendered, "[Jesus] is the image of the invisible God...For by Him were all things created.(see Genesis 1:1)" 2) As far as what Strong's says about the word 'Godhead', again, as I said in my last post, "1a) the state of BEING GOD, Godhead[capitalization added for emphasis]" 3) Touching on Colossians 3:1, let us move two verses down--Colossians 3:3"...and your life is hid with Christ in God" Christ is in God, and is One with God. 4) The reason Philippians 2:6 does seem to not harmonize with humility is this: There is no need! It is not robbery for Jesus to consider Himself one with God!! He IS God! I wish I could continue this discussion this week, but I will have to pick it up at a later date. I am leaving for Arizona Friday for my first mission trip(to witness to the Navajo), and the next few days will be jam packed for me. I will read what you respond with, and if I can possibly give a short answer I will. God is my Strength and Power, and He makes my way perfect!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

103 | is homosexuality a sin? | Rom 1:27 | 2ndSamuel22 | 49274 | ||
Greetings, wildlight! Here are just a few verses which prove that homosexuality is unbiblical, in fact an abomination: Lev. 18:22--"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."(KJV) Lev. 20:13--"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination..."(KJV) I Cor. 6:--"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor EFFEMINATE, nor HOMOSEXUALS,...will inherit the kingdom of God."(NASB)--[all emphasis mine] I hope this helps! 2nd Samuel 22 |
||||||
104 | Romans 10:9: is it too simple? | Rom 10:9 | 2ndSamuel22 | 47255 | ||
Hosanna in the highest!! Simplicity--that is exactly what Jesus preached. All the times He rebuked the Pharisees, He was speaking directly at the complexity(ies) which they had added to the scriptures. That is what He meant when He said in Mark 10:15, " Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein." In other words, salvation is so simple, even a child could understand it. And we should accept our salvation with the simple love of a child. Another verse which speaks to this is 2 Cor. 11:3--"But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the SIMPLICITY that is in Christ."[emphasis mine] Compare our means of salvation to the many sacrifices the Jews had to offer in the old testament. He Will 2nd Samuel 22:26-28 |

105 | what is baptism of the dead 1 cor 15:29 | 1 Corinthians | 2ndSamuel22 | 47941 | ||
Paul here is asking the Corinthians this question: If Jesus was not resurrected, but was still dead, then why are so many being baptized in His name(v.29)? And why do so many suffer persecution, some even unto death, for a dead man(v.30) The KJV and the NKJV both end v.29 with,"...baptized for THE DEAD" instead of,"...baptized for THEM"[all emphasis mine], because the "dead" that Paul is refering to is Jesus, not a group of people. One can not be baptized for the dead, as the Mormons believe. They have based a large portion of their religion on this one verse. But I digress. I hope that clears things up for you. 2nd samuel 22:36-37 |

106 | Greetings Simchat Torah | 1 Cor 9:25 | 2ndSamuel22 | 53378 | ||
Dear Simchat Torah, Let me also welcome you to this forum. I have found that it has helped me grow stronger in the word every time I come here. I do have one more question for you, however. You may have mentioned this elsewhere; if so, please excuse me for making you repeat yourself. My question is this: You constantly refer to Jesus as the "prophet" of God. Does this mean you do not believe Him to be the SON of God? So you know, I do not ask this out of strife, but curiosity. He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

107 | self control / spirit control | 1 Cor 9:25 | 2ndSamuel22 | 53684 | ||
Dear bubbatate, You wrote, "With all due respect, get your scissors, I personally prefer a single edged razor blade, and remove Heb 10:26 and 29 from your Bible…..it’s pure bunk." So now, if we don't like a certain passage, we can just cut and paste the Holy and Inspired Word of God? How absolutely Mormon!! Considering your false assumption that there are some sins the Blood of Jesus does not cover, I would have to ask you about the thief whom Jesus told they would be in Paradise. You don't think that when the Bible refers to him as a "thief", he got busted for breaking and entering, do you? From all historical references, this was a man who killed, raped, plundered, and did all sorts of wickedness. Also, what did Jesus ask of the Father when they nailed Him to the cross? "Forgive them Father, they know not what they do." Now, let's look at this request, shall we? The Romans who were driving the nails(and the Jews who demanded it), were all, in light of Matthew 5 and Exodus 20, guilty of murder. But Jesus said what?? "Forgive them" The woman caught in the act of adultery. What does Jesus say in John 8:11? "Neither do I condemn you." Now keep in mind, Jesus is God. Therefore, God did not condemn the woman. Matthew 12:5--"Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and are innocent?" Does this mean we have to stone our pastor if he preaches on Sunday? I could go on, and I may at a later date. I will leave you with I John 4:10--"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins." Notice, it does not say "some of our sins". He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

108 | self control / spirit control | 1 Cor 9:25 | 2ndSamuel22 | 53735 | ||
Dear bubbatate, I do beleive that the sacrifice Jesus made upon the Cross was sufficient to cover every and all sin. I would refer you to Hebrews 9:15--"For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance." In other words, any sin which would have required death under the old(Mosaic) covenant, Jesus paid for with His life(Romans 3:25). As for the passage in Hebrews 10:26-31.... vv26-27--EVERY sin we commit is done willfully. We don't sin by accident, agreed? What is being referred to here is continual, ongoing sin. Even if we profess to accept Christ as our Saviour, we must show it in the things we do and the way we live(James 2:17-19), and put away the old man(Ephesians 4:22). v28, vv30-31--self-explanatory. v29--I truly believe this speaks to those who have heard the Gospel, but still want to live under the old Mosaic Law. They have heard of the sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf, yet "count the blood of the covenant that sanctified Him an unholy thing". They still want to seek their own righteousness through the Law, thus "insulting the Spirit of grace." He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |
||||||
109 | self control / spirit control | 1 Cor 9:25 | 2ndSamuel22 | 53824 | ||
Dear bubbatate, With all due respect, I stand by what I said before, that all sin is willful. I would ask you this: How long must we think about a sin before we commit it? God does not have a timetable He uses to judge that. Whether we think about sinning for a day, a week, or even a split-second, it is still premeditated. It is still our flesh being in control(see Romans 8:1-8). How long did Uzzah think before he placed his hands on the Ark of the Covenant?(I Samuel 6:6-7) In the letters in Revelations, Jesus is addressing the churches which were making false professings of faith, those seeds that were sown among the thorns, if you will. Their faith was not salvific, that it would make them want to live for Christ. As far as Matthew 7, I would refer you to Acts, chapter 16, vv16-19. Prophesying and performing miracles are not signs of salvation. Don't forget, OT Saul consulted a medium, against the admonition of Deuteronomy 18:10. Also, the Antichrist and his false prophet will come performing signs and wonders. Touching on the Mosaic Law, the Apostle Paul tells us in Galatians 3:24-25, "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster."(KJV) In other words, the Law teaches us how to live as Christ, so that we may have a saving faith. Then, once that faith is come, we are not bound to it neck-and-heel. Are we to obey it? Of course, the best we can. We have salvation, we have liberty, but "For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another."(Galatians 5:13 NASB) But, we are human after all, so we will slip. That is when God pours out His grace upon us, the shed blood of Jesus Christ Our Lord. As far as your other post(about the trial), I would simply point you to Matthew 12: 9-13. By your belief and reliance on the Torah, Jesus should have been stoned for healing on the sabbath. Not once, but twice(see also John chapter 5). He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

110 | Why not Brothers? | 1 Cor 11:3 | 2ndSamuel22 | 49722 | ||
I Corinthians 11:3--"But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and GOD IS THE HEAD OF CHRIST." Luke 22:42--saying, "Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; YET NOT MY WILL BUT YOURS BE DONE." Collosians 2:9--"For in Him(Jesus Christ) ALL the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form," Matthew 16:15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Matthew 16:16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the SON of the living God." Matthew 16:17 And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but MY FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN..." [all emphases mine] Thus is the mystery of the Trinity. Why many people wonder how 3 can be 1, and 1 be 3. I don't have quite the extensive background as some of the more learned people on this forum, but here's a start: Jesus IS, WAS and will ALWAYS BE one with God(John 1:1). However, Jesus the Son does the will of God the Father. The best way I know how to say it is this: They are one in majesty and sovereignty; however, God is the head of all. Like I said, it's a start. And perhaps someone else can futher expound on this. May the blessings of the LORD thy God be with you always. 2nd Samuel 22 |

I Timothy 3:16--"And without controversy great is the MYSTERY[emphasis mine] of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."(KJV) I Corinthians 1:24--"but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God."(NASB) John 1:1--"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."(NASB) Isaiah 9:6--"For a CHILD will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, MIGHTY GOD, ETERNAL FATHER, Prince of Peace."[all emphases mine] These verses demonstrate quite clearly the fact that not only is Jesus the Son of God, but that He also IS God. Let's use the argument that we must take this on faith. Now, faith IS the EVIDENCE of things unseen(Hebrews 11:1), therefore we can rightly conclude that since we DO have faith in the Bible being the Holy and Inspired Word of God, and that from Scripture we learn of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit(I John 4:8), then our faith in the Word is evidence that the three ARE one, and the one ARE three. As far as Jesus being less(?) than the Father, I refer you to Hebrews 2:7--"Thou madest him a little lower than the angels;..."(KJV). And using the formula(if A is less than B, and B is less than C, then A is less than C), if Jesus(on Earth) was lower than the angels, and the angels are lower than God, well, you do the math. Just for the record, if you do not agree with what I have said, I will not accuse you of heresy, or call you stupid. 2nd Samuel 22 |

113 | DO NOT BE YOKED WITH UNBELIEVERS.... | 2 Cor 6:14 | 2ndSamuel22 | 53491 | ||
Dear heaven, You have done well in coming here, instead of any secular therapist or shrink. You seem to be very strong in your conviction, and yes Satan will come after you as well. But stay strong, resist the devil, and he shall flee. When you feel or hear him coming around, tell him, "In the name of Jesus Christ my Lord, I command you to be gone." Satan must flee at the command of the name of Jesus. Here is my take on what must be done to bring your boyfriend back to his senses: 1. You must understand that YOU cannot change him. This can only be done by the Spirit of conviction. Remember, we do not choose God, He chooses us(John 15:16). We are but a vessel for God to work through, and to be glorified through. 2. Pray. After that, pray. And again, pray(Luke 18:7). And don't pray from a strictly defensive standpoint. Attack Satan. Invoke the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord, His Holy Blood, and quote Scripture constantly. This was how Jesus rebuked Satan in Matthew 4. By quoting Scripture. Besides, if you notice in Ephesians ch.6(the whole armour of God), the word of God is the only weapon of offense. So use it. 3. Do not abandon him. I don't mean you should go back to dating him yet, but call him, tell him you are praying for him. Let him hear Christ in your voice. Do not get angry with him(I know that may be difficult). Plead with him not so much for him to come back to you, but for him to return to his first Love, Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ(Revelations 2:4). 4. Pray. Pray for God to show you if it is His will that the two of you get back together. Do not do anything until you get your answer from Him. In conclusion, remember that even though your boyfriend may have left, God never will. If you always have Him in your heart, you will never be alone. He will be your Comforter(John 16:7). Your Provider(Genesis 22:14). Your Life(John 14:6). May the peace of God be with you. God Bless!! He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

114 | what is the breastplate of righteouness | Ephesians | 2ndSamuel22 | 51760 | ||
Greetings gospelcom!! In order to explain what is meant by the "whole armour of God", I'll take you back a couple of verses, to vv11-13. The Apostle Paul is telling us that when we become Christians, then the wars we wage are not of flesh, but against "principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."(KJV) So, we must cover ourselves with Christ, and all of His weapons: v 14 --The girdle of truth. In Paul's day, what men wore into battle was much different than today. They wore flowing garments, which gave their legs mobility. Now, these garments needed to be cinched up at the waist, so they wouldn't trip on the fabric. In this same vein, God's truth is what binds everything together, and allows us to fight the enemy more effectively. --The breastplate of righteousness. The breastplate covers the heart. And in Matthew 15:18-19, Jesus says, "But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders." So we must cover our hearts with Christ's righteousness, that we would not give into those things. v.15 --cover your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Often, the ground a battle was fought on would have shard of glass or metal buried in it, so if you didn't have the right footwear on, you would cut your feet, and be rendered ineffective for battle. The same way Satan lays little traps for us to trip on, so we must be preapred by always walking by faith(II Corinthians 5:7), on the promise of the Gospel. v.16 --The shield of faith. Shields back then were made of thick leather, and before the battle, they would be soaked in water, so when the enemy fired flaming arrows(darts) at them, the water in the shields would extinguish the flame. When Satan attacks, and fires at us with old thoughts, or trying to convict us of old sins, our faith in Christ will allow us to put out those darts, knowing that we have already been forgiven. v.17 --The helmet of salvation. Let our minds be covered by the knowledge that we have eternal life if we are truly saved, and let those thoughts guide our way. --The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Notice, this is the only offensive weapon Paul mentions. Other similar verses: Heb 4:12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Rev 19:15 From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron;... (NASB) Notice also in Matthew chapter 4, when Satan tries to tempt Jesus, how does He respond? With Scripture. It is one of our greatest weapons against the enemy.

115 | So I ask you again, where do you get you | Eph 5:19 | 2ndSamuel22 | 52034 | ||
Greetings Grace and Truth!! I hate to disagree with you again, but.... 1 Tim 2:8 Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, LIFTING UP HOLY HANDS, without wrath and dissension.(NASB) Rev 5:8 When He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a HARP and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. (NASB) Rev 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers HARPING WITH THEIR HARPS:(KJV) The angels in Revelations were playing their harps, pleasing God with their music.

Dear Grace and Truth, My point is this: If God does not want any to worship Him using musical instruments, then why are the heavenly hosts playing them? If God doesn't like it, would He allow it in His Kingdom? And since we are to worship and do His will on Earth as it is in Heaven, then how can you disagree with playing instruments to sing His praises here on Earth? Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with PSALMS and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. From Strong's-- 5567 psallo (psal'-lo) 2b) to play on a stringed instrument, to play, the harp, etc. James 5:13--Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing PSALMS. 5568 psalmos (psal-mos') 1) a striking, twanging 1a) of a striking the chords of a musical instrument 1b) of a pious song, a psalm By the way, I'm not Tim..:) He's the veteran here, I'm the rookie. may the Grace of Our Lord be with you!! 2nd samuel 22 |

117 | Heb.13:15 This verse addresses our prais | Eph 5:19 | 2ndSamuel22 | 52101 | ||
Dear Grace and Truth, So you go back to the old "arguing from silence" approach? Because it doesn't say it in a CERTAIN VERSE you pick out, we shouldn't do it, right? You seem more intent on the 'logos' word, rather than the 'rhema' word. I have shown you time and again verses IN THE BIBLE, which show God's APPROVAL for playing instruments. Yet, on a consistent basis, you avoid answering the verses I give you. I have even posted the Strong's definitions. Yet all we get from you is your opinion on certain passages, with nothing to back it up!! Why? What are you afraid of? Also, Paul was not the only apostle to have a Book included in the Bible, and yet he seems to be the only one you quote. For your infromation, James, Peter(twice), John(FIVE--COUNT 'EM--FIVE TIMES) and others have had epistles, Gospels, and prophetic books included in the Holy Word of God. Why do you ignore them? I do not mean to sound bitter, but it gets very frustrating when you make valid arguments to someone, and they completely ignore them without answer, or answer them out of context. Would you please give a valid response to the passages I quoted. Thank you. PS: Reread the definition of "psalms" I gave you, maybe that will clear things up. May the Grace of Our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

118 | Heb.13:15 This verse addresses our prais | Eph 5:19 | 2ndSamuel22 | 52197 | ||
Dear Hank, I thank you for the compliments, but I must give the praise to God, who graciously grants me the wisdom.(James 1:5) He must have something for me to do, because I--honestly--had not even picked up a Bible since I was a child, but I ask God for wisdom when I read, and He makes it clear for me to understand. In agreement with you and CS Lewis, the things we do CAN do more to drive people FROM Christ, than our words can do to bring them TO Christ. That's what happens when people add their OPINIONS to what they THINK the Word should say. It is so good to have a fellow Southern Baptist(though we are first fellow Christians) here. We of the SBC get a bad rap for being starched and sullen(can you say "Bible-thumper?), but those criticisms come from people who go to more liberal churches, but don't want people to think they're "intolerant" or "mean", and thus look for a church that doesn't denounce certain sins of the World(abortion, homosexuality). As far as the subject of this thread, when Paul tells us to sing psalms in worship, the word "psalms" means playing a musical instrument. Some people just can't understand that. And to quote Revelations again, the angels and elders in heaven play harps and sing "a new song" in heaven itself. Literally. And yes, we will play music Up Yonder. And we'll understand it better by and by...:) PS: Thanks for the stars..:) May the Grace of Our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

119 | Heb.13:15 This verse addresses our prais | Eph 5:19 | 2ndSamuel22 | 52199 | ||
Dear Grace and Truth, I guess harps aren't musical instruments. Ooops, my bad. Concerning worship: Rom 14:17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Rom 14:18 For he who in this way serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.(NASB) Rom 14:22 The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.(NASB) May the Grace of Our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear fellow believers, Are we seeing the beginning of the Great Apostasy? As you probably know by now, the 9th Curcuit Court of Appeals is of the opinion that the phrase "under God" in the pledge of allegiance is "unconstitutional"(by whose constitution, I might ask?). I urge all, Lutheran, Baptist, Church of Christ, Holiness, etc., let us unite on this topic. Write to your local congressman/senator, urge him/her to support President Bush's judicial appointees. Let us take back the courts that Bill Clinton handed over to those who would seek to further wickedness and abomination in this country.

If you do not know it, this site can link you to where to look it up. Let's not allow this country to become a modern-day Laodicea, luke warm, neither cold nor hot. Let us be on fire for the LORD.
