101 | Unatoned who die experience a sting/fire | John 20:17 | jeremiah1five | 241518 | ||
Yes, I have read Edwards sermon, but I should again. It IS worth the read. Thanks. | ||||||
102 | Unatoned who die experience a sting/fire | John 20:17 | jeremiah1five | 241517 | ||
I don't confuse "hell/hades" with the Lake of Fire, which is why I spell "hell" with the quotation marks because usually is understood that way by others as the eternal place. To me "hell" is only the grave, the place of "unseen" as defined by Strong's. When a believer dies post-cross their soul/spirit go to be with God hid in Christ. I prefer to see the story of Lazarus and the rich man as a true story, not a parable as Jesus uses proper names. |

103 | Unatoned who die experience a sting/fire | John 20:17 | jeremiah1five | 241513 | ||
If one were to experience a sting upon death (1 Cor. 15:56) because of unatoned sin, what would it feel like after the sting is experienced constantly? Would it feel like a flame or fire? Would this correspond to what the rich man experienced being in the grave, as opposed to Lazarus whose sin was atoned by Christ and there was no "sting of death/sin" and when he died experienced comfort of being in the Presence of God? To put it more succinctly, if at the moment of death you feel a sting, brace yourself... You're not in Kansas anymore. |

104 | Christ's Descent... | Eph 4:10 | jeremiah1five | 241512 | ||
Let's not forget the lesson in the story of the Lazarus and the rich man. Luke 16:30-31 (KJV) 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. They and we have the Scriptures. When Jesus died they had the Hebrew Scriptures and no one, according to Jesus, will be persuaded if one rose from the dead. Today, this rings true...Jesus rose from the dead and no one is persuaded. This, incidentally, is why it requires God to make the first move upon an individual for as Jesus said in John 3:19-20 John 3:19-20 (KJV) 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. Because of the BONDAGE of sin upon a person this prevents them from choosing the good as Christ said, "neither cometh to Him [the Light], because men love darkness RATHER THAN light, they NEITHER COME TO HIM." We must take these words of Christ as written else we call Him a liar if we refuse to believe His Word. |

105 | Jesus went to God immediately? | John 20:17 | jeremiah1five | 241509 | ||
This response goes to great lengths to omit the original passage of Scripture that says implicitly that Noah was the preacher of righteousness and that he preached while he was building the ark. Nowhere does it say in Scripture Jesus went anywhere except his body into the tomb and His soul-spirit to be with the Father, thereby "paving" the way as Firstfruits the same thing to happen to believers when they die, that is, body in the tomb/grave and the soul-spirit to be with God: "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." This wasn't the case while the curtain was still up and in place in the Holy of Holies in the Temple according to the instruction and command of the Lord for the Tabernacle. Jesus is FIRSTfruits. 1 Peter 3:18-20 (KJV) 18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 1 Peter 3:20 (GW) 20 They are like those who disobeyed long ago in the days of Noah when God waited patiently while Noah built the ship. In this ship a few people—eight in all—were saved by water. 1 Peter 3:20 (YLT) 20 who sometime disbelieved, when once the long-suffering of God did wait, in days of Noah--an ark being preparing--in which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water; 1 Peter 3:20 (BBE) 20 Who, in the days of Noah, went against God's orders; but God in his mercy kept back the punishment, while Noah got ready the ark, in which a small number, that is to say eight persons, got salvation through water: |

106 | Jesus went to God immediately? | John 20:17 | jeremiah1five | 241500 | ||
I appreciate your comment. No, it doesn't and I will provide the Scripture as to why it doesn't: 1 Peter 3:19 (KJV) 19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; The next passage gives us the time-frame in which to interpret what Peter is saying: 1 Peter 3:20 (KJV) 20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. Noah was a preacher of righteousness (or Righteousness), meaning He was a preacher of Christ (Messiah - Gen. 3:15), and Christ (or God's Righteousness.) While Noah was building the Ark he was also witnessing what was to come and declaring God to an unbelieving people. But ONLY Noah found grace in the eyes of God. Peter continues his thought in bringing up Noah and the events of his day: 1 Peter 3:21 (KJV) 21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: "The like figure" means Peter is making a comparison between Noah's preaching to a people in prison (in sin) and declares that it is not the washing of filth from the body that saves us (water baptism), but one of a good conscience (where salvation/redemption occurs - Spirit-baptism) as the only Person that can deal with a persons conscience is the Holy Spirit now in the world. |

107 | water to wine means drinking O.K.? | Gen 1:1 | jeremiah1five | 241496 | ||
No. One cannot base Jesus turning water into wine as permission to consume alcoholic drink. Because of modern-day distilling practices and abilities the drink that is made in today's distilleries is greatly enhanced and more potent than the wine that was made in and around the first century. It really did not have that much potency to make one drunk, and it can be reasoned that Peter's response in Acts that it was quite impossible to be drunk so early in the day as it would seemingly take more time in order to get drunk or intoxicated: Acts 2:15 (KJV) 15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. The third hour of the day according to the Hebrew reckoning of time would be around 9AM. Paul does instruct Timothy to "drink a little wine for thy stomachs' sake" as the source of water to make the wine came from the local lake/seas (Galilee) which contained micro-organisms that assisted in digestive "healing" |

108 | Being tested vs. being tempted. | James 1:13 | jeremiah1five | 241495 | ||
Being tested is as Christian to be tested as to whether one is exercising the instruction and command of God in a given situation of circumstance. This is done by God and it is done by God's people (1 Jn. 4:1). Being tempted is another matter completely. James describes being tempted: James 1:13-16 (KJV) 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. |

109 | Jesus went to God immediately? | John 20:17 | jeremiah1five | 241494 | ||
If Jesus is [our] FirstFruit, and Paul's statement "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord," and NO MAN had ever been "present with the Lord" due to the curtain separating the Holy of Holies from unatoned man, it is reasonable to conclude that Jesus did indeed go to be with Father upon His death. Jesus' body was placed in the tomb, His human spirit and soul went to the Father upon His death. | ||||||
110 | Pastors have Evil thoughts? | Amos 1:1 | jeremiah1five | 241493 | ||
Men, both saved/born again and unsaved do have "evil" thoughts. Pastors are not excluded. Paul has answer to being a Christian and saved and still living in this world while we await our death or the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ: Romans 7:14-24 (KJV) 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? And: Romans 8:6-7 (KJV) 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. And: Galatians 5:17 (KJV) 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. |
