102 | origin of the devil | Ezek 28:13 | ebrain | 184303 | ||
Hi Jonp. You have said, "Because the revelation of the triunity of God is so important that while there are certainly hints in the Old Testament, it could not really be presented fully until the coming of Jesus without seeming to give a concession to polytheism. Best wishes Jonp" Might I with respect ask you to read the following verses, except, do not read the very last line.. Now ask yourself the question, "Who is speaking".. The answer can only be, "Almighty God".. Now read the last line, and then tell me who it is.. Isa 48:12 "Listen to Me, O Jacob, And Israel, My called: I am He, I am the First, I am also the Last. Isa 48:13 Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, And My right hand has stretched out the heavens; When I call to them, They stand up together. Isa 48:14 "All of you, assemble yourselves, and hear! Who among them has declared these things? The LORD loves him; He shall do His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm shall be against the Chaldeans. Isa 48:15 I, even I, have spoken; Yes, I have called him, I have brought him, and his way will prosper. Isa 48:16 "Come near to Me, hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; From the time that it was, I was there. And now the Lord GOD and His Spirit Have* sent Me." Best wishes. ebrain. |

103 | origin of the devil | Ezek 28:13 | ebrain | 184173 | ||
You have said. "those Scriptures refer to ancient kings", when referring to, "Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28". This is a common mistake, as it is only the first 11 verses of each chapter that refers to ancient kings. You will note, that I started both my quotations at verse 12. Isaiah 14:12, says, "O Lucifer,* son of the morning!", this title as far as I am aware was never used by any of the ancient kings, nor is it recorded that any of them said, 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation". It is abundantly clear therefore that the individual refereed to in these verses is non other than Satan. Referring now to Ezekiel 28:12-13. The King of Tyre was born, not created, and there is no way in which he could have transported himself back in time to, "Eden, the garden of God;" You also said, (just as the angelic court are assumed in God's words 'Let us make man in OUR image' (Genesis 1.26). We are given a recognition that such spiritual beings exist but not given the details. They came before the creation of heaven (sky) and earth. (Although some would see them as included in Genesis 1.1). This also is incorrect as it is a Jewish explanation for "'Let us make man", "us", indicates to Christians, that God is not a single person, man is made in the image of God, that is to say that man is also a tri-unity, "Spirit Soul, and Body". The Jews say no God is not three persons, but only one person, and therefore when God said "us", He meant Himself, and the Angels. |

Most Bible scholars would say that the Scripture passages given bellow refer to Satan, note that verse 13 of Eze 28, says on the day you were created, thereby indicating that it was God who created Satan Isa 14:12 "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer,* son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! Isa 14:13 For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.' Isa 14:15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit. Isa 14:16 "Those who see you will gaze at you, And consider you, saying: 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms, Isa 14:17 Who made the world as a wilderness And destroyed its cities, Who did not open the house of his prisoners?' Isa 14:18 "All the kings of the nations, All of them, sleep in glory, Everyone in his own house; Isa 14:19 But you are cast out of your grave Like an abominable branch, Like the garment of those who are slain, Thrust through with a sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit, Like a corpse trodden underfoot. Isa 14:20 You will not be joined with them in burial, Because you have destroyed your land And slain your people. The brood of evildoers shall never be named. Isa 14:21 Prepare slaughter for his children Because of the iniquity of their fathers, Lest they rise up and possess the land, And fill the face of the world with cities." Eze 28:12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "You were the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. Eze 28:13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering:The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created |

What Jesus is saying here is that the witness of Himself, that is to say the witness of only one man, is not good enough, but that is not in fact the case with Him, as the verses bellow clearly show. Jhn 5:31 "If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true. Jhn 5:32 "There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true. Jhn 8:16 "And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me. Jhn 8:17 "It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. Jhn 8:18 "I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me." |

107 | alma in the Biblica Hebraica | Is 7:14 | ebrain | 183912 | ||
The word "Almah", appears seven times in Scripture, as bellow. It is clear from the other six, that a "virgin", is under consideration, why then is there a problem with the seventh? Gen 24:43 'behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass that when the virgin comes out to draw water, and I say to her, "Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink," Exd 2:8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go." So the maiden went and called the child's mother. Psa 68:25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after, Among them were the maidens playing timbrels. Pro 30:19 The way of an eagle in the air, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the midst of the sea, And the way of a man with a virgin. Sgs 1:3 Because of the fragrance of your good ointments, Your name is ointment poured forth; Therefore the virgins love you. Sgs 6:8 There are sixty queens And eighty concubines, And virgins without number. Isa 7:14 "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.* "Almah" strongs No 5959 (Al-maw) feminine of No 5958. a lass (as vailed or private) KJV (damsel, maid, virgin) |

108 | DID JESUS EVER DIE? HE WAS GOD | Rom 8:11 | ebrain | 183457 | ||
Jhn 10:17 "Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. Jhn 10:18 "No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father." Yes Jesus did die, He says so in the verses above, don't try to understand how, just believe Him, take Him at His word, exercise the faith that God has given you, see Hbr 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. |

109 | DID JESUS EVER DIE? HE WAS GOD | Rom 8:11 | ebrain | 183456 | ||
Jhn 4:24 "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." Hbr 10:5 Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me. Hbr 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure. Hbr 10:7 Then I said, 'Behold, I have come--In the volume of the book it is written of Me--To do Your will, O God.'"* In order for God who is spirit, to be able to offer Himself as an acceptable sacrifice, He had to make for Himself a body in which to dwell, so that He could experience for all of us who are saved, the indescribable agony of death by crucifixion. See Psalm 22:1-18, and Isaiah 52:13 to 53:12. |

110 | IS ANIMAL BREATH ETERNAL | Eccl 3:21 | ebrain | 183361 | ||
Hi again GRANDPAA1. Sorry, I forgot to mention that not only did God not breath into the nostrils of animals, but they are not said to be made in the image of God, or after His likeness, and for this reason I do not expect them to be resurrected. The Lord bless you. ebrain. |

111 | IS ANIMAL BREATH ETERNAL | Eccl 3:21 | ebrain | 183360 | ||
As far as I am aware, we are not told that God breathed life into animals, my understanding is that man is unique in this respect, Please refer to the Scripture verses bellow. Gen 1:24 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was so. Gen 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. Gen 1:26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all* the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 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 being. 1Th 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Luk 1:46 And Mary said: "My soul magnifies the Lord, Luk 1:47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. Hbr 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Of all the many, and varied life forms God made, man is unique, as we are tripartite, that is to say having three parts, i.e. spirit, soul, and body. The spirit part of us we often refer to as "the human spirit", and animals do not have the equivalent of this. The human spirit was breathed into the nostrils of Adam, thus enabling intimate communion between God and man. Refer now to, Gen 2:17 "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." The words "eat of it you shall surely die", is an incorrect translation, and should read, "eat of it dying you shall die", that is to say two deaths, firstly instantaneous and immediate termination of the human spirit, followed in due course by psychical death. This is clearly seen to be the case at 1Cr 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Man has to have restored to him what was lost in Adam, and that is Divine regereration, or if you like new birth. I hope that rather long explanation has been of help to you. ebrain. |

The Author of the book resides within you, ask Him. The greatest commentary on the Bible, is the Bible itself. Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; Pro 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct* your paths. 1Cr 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1Cr 2:15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 1Cr 2:16 For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?"* But we have the mind of Christ. Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Rom 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors--not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. Rom 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Rom 8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." Rom 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears |

Hi John. I can sympathize with your friend, as I believe that the autographs of a large part of the NT were in fact written in Aramaic, a sister language to Hebrew, and then translated into Greek for publication. I have discussed this at length before on this forum. Peter considered Paul's writings as Scripture. Must close now due to time. The Lord bless you. Edwin. |

My understanding of, "A Messianic believer", is a Jew who has accepted "Jesus the Nazarene" as their, and our Messiah, I know a number of them, and have never found one yet who did not consider that the NT, was just as much Divinely inspired as the OT. In fact I have gained a lot more insight into the NT, from Messianic Jewish teachers, than I have gained from Gentile teachers. Two M J, web sites that I can strongly recommend are www.ariel.org and www.moriel.org have a look and you will see what I mean. The Lord bless you. Edwin. |
