101 | Progressive Revelation | Eph 1:10 | lookinforacity | 204718 | ||
Where does the Theology of, Progressive Revelation come from? I have done a search on the term, it seems as though whenever something is hard do define, the term ( P.R.) is then used to explain it away. The question is where, and when did the term first come from? 1) Who taught it first? 2) When ? |

Hi Val: Soul Sleep, who cares what happens in the Grave, to the Body of the Flesh. It will be raised with an incorruptible body, It is irrelevant, what happens, after death. You can call it sleep if you want, that will give you a good understanding of the whole process. When you die, TIME STOPS. Exactly the same as when you sleep at night, you might sleep for 1, 5, or 10 hrs. you are unaware of the passage of time, to your mind it was a second, almost instantaneous. The same in death, 1, 10, 10,000 yrs. a second, almost instantaneous. Knowing this, and understanding it, does it really matter what happens, during the time your flesh, is in the grave ? The reason there isn't any definitive answer on this question, is because it is irrelevant to your Salvation. Belief in Soul Sleep, doesn't add, or subtract, from what YOU did in your flesh, while you were ALIVE. So I say believe, don't believe. 6 of 1 -- 1/2 of another. 2 Cor. 5:6-8 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Ps. to stop any misunderstandings, I only posted this to you because your post is the most recient on the subject, it isnt personal,towards you. In Christ Jim |

Hi Steven: It is not obvious to me, that you don't belong here ! Mark 13:11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Your words Wed 07/9/08, 12:09pm Hello Steve, Jesus fell short of the measure of the orthodoxy of his day. God will be my judge on what I did with the understanding he gave to me. I will work out my own salvation with trembling and fear Phil:2:12 Jesus said they (scribes and Pharisees the orthodox religious leaders) prosecuted him and they would persecute his followers. I will count it all joy when I am ridiculed for my beliefs. My understanding may fall short of the orthodox measure and that does not bother me. I do not fear what men can do to me. I have not come to the understanding I have of Gods word overnight his spirit has been leading me for many years. God calls and his spirit leads us. When someone asks me about my faith I try my best to give them an answer of the hope that lies within me. My intentions are never to convince anyone to believe as I do. My postings are not to prove I'm right and your wrong they are only to state my understanding of Gods word. If they edify anyone I am thankful for that. My name is Steven :) peace ps: I work 3rd shift and must go to sleep now. I can only talk out of my own experience, with you. Your words, have been seasoned with salt, they have ministered grace to the hearer. your 2 postings to me were well received, thank you for them. How do you know that your not supposed to be here. How do you know, what you have felt hasn't been an attack of the Enemy. Ephesians 2:19-22 19) Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20) And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21) In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22) In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. SOOOOO I guess to sum it up, WERE ALL here for a reason, wether we agree or not! Have a GOD BLESSED DAY Jim |

Hi Jeff: Just for clarification Purposes. You said Quote. "The babe grows into a child by the milk and then must consume the protein of the meat to grow into maturity. Otherwise there will be a failure to thrive leading to a premature death. We build on a foundation (milk) and finish the house (meat)." "Today, you can not see the foundation that has been covered by the blowing sands. Had they been in possession of, or known where to access the needed money (meat) the structure would have been finished and serving it's purpose today (assumable)." Clarification Point? Are you saying , if a person doesn't eat meat, the you will Spiritually Die, (ie) Lose their Salvation ? God Bless Jim |

Hi du plessis: Hard to answer the question. But the easiest for me to believe is, when the Earth was divided, when the speech was confounded, because of the building at Babylon, the features of the different races, also appeared at that time. Works for me. I don't go with all of that cursing stuff. I feel in this case, the term K.I.S.S. would apply very well. (For all of us) Have a good one IN HIM Jim |

Hi Val: Just a short note, on your statement. quote: "I however, agree with their research that we all come from one man Adam who had the DNA for all the features we see in humankind." Everyone born from ADAM died in the Flood. Doesn't it make more sense that NOAH had all the DNA, because we are all descendents of him. Or were Noah, and his sons, all the different races, before the flood ? My personal belief, I have posted before, is this. Everything changed when the language was confounded in Babylon. ( Post Flood ). To me it makes most sense, because that's when a CHANGE took place that ( WAS DOCUMENTED ). Any other Theory, is all 100 percent conjecture. That's it, Have a GOD BLESSED DAY Jim |
||||||
107 | 3 brothers descendants changed | Col 1:16 | lookinforacity | 205939 | ||
Hi John: Point ????? If you are referring to Adam having the DNA, the way the statement was fraised, it sounded to me as though it was saying, He had it (( ONLY )) and his kids were different Races. If everyone reads it that way then forgive me. Just makes more sense at Babylon. GOD BLESS Jim |
||||||
108 | 3 brothers descendants changed | Col 1:16 | lookinforacity | 205943 | ||
John: Going with that reasoning then, (WE) should be able to have different raced children of our own today. RIGHT? It only stands to reason, we all did come from Adam So at what point in human history did, or would it have stopped? The point being, if you make up a Theory, that Adam had all the DNA. Then you would have to make up another Theory, to cover that stoppage Then the question might arise. How does that missing ability in us today make us different than Adam? What I'm getting at is, once you make up a Theory out of absolutely nothing, then you have to keep on doing it, to cover any contingency's that may arise. The Theory I put forth, makes a statement about an event that has been documented, in the History of the world, (as far a Christians are concerned), giving it more validity, than any other, it also stops there. It doesn't lend itself to future events, that may have to be addressed, which would call for an amendment to original Theory. Jim |
||||||
109 | 3 brothers descendants changed | Col 1:16 | lookinforacity | 205945 | ||
John: Scripture to back up a Theory would be greatly appreciated, isn't that what is supposed to be the point of the Forum? If a theory cannot be backed up with scripture, then it doesn't carry any more weight than, Darwin' s Theory. Just because someone might be a "Scholar" doesn't mean (THEY), can agree to put forth Theory's, Beliefs as though they were Truth, without something concrete to back them up (Scripture). That is called Dogma. How can we agree, that it was in Noah, and in his sons, if the Theory hasn't (BEEN) proven? All we can agree on, is that (IT IS A Theory). The language was confused, but it wasn't the language that spread across the world, it was the people that had, had their language confused, they did the spreading, thereby populating in areas that were theretofore unpopulated, banding together because of similar qualities, Language. (skin color, and racial features) My Theory. The important thing is that God did it. We don't know HOW, we don't know WHEN, but I tend Not to believe the Scholars. Jim |

110 | 3 brothers descendants changed | Col 1:16 | lookinforacity | 205947 | ||
Hi skccab: Well that was a given, for those that have read the whole thread, between John and me. My statements have all been around, the confusing of the language of the Earth time period. But for those that don't know when that happened. Gen 11:1-9. GOD BLESS Jim |
||||||
111 | 3 brothers descendants changed | Col 1:16 | lookinforacity | 205950 | ||
Hi skccab: The thread goes back to Val at 5:46 pm She wrote, QUOTE "I however, agree with their research that we all come from one man Adam who had the DNA for all the features we see in humankind". Everything I have said has been against that theory. All I did was to put up a more plausible Theory, on the grounds of everything I have stated. The whole point was to say, there isn't anything to back up your theory, as mine has at least the confusing of the languages , that might go along with that event, which makes more sense to me, rather than following some so called scholars, merely because they have a doctorate. I have not said, or intimated there is another line outside of Adam. I was saying (that) theory doesnt hold water, where mine might hold alot more, on the grounds of the posts. That was the reason for asking John for Scripture to back up the one in Vals post. Reread them carefully Jim |

112 | 3 brothers descendants changed | Col 1:16 | lookinforacity | 205962 | ||
Hi John: I'm truly sorry for the over sight, I thought I was being very, clear in what I wrote because I did say Doesn't it make more sense that NOAH had all the DNA, because we are all descendents of him. Or were Noah, and his sons, all the different races, before the flood ? My personal belief, I have posted before, is this. Everything changed when the language was confounded in Babylon. ( Post Flood ). Just what was it that you did not understand, it is a given, that Noah was alive after the flood. People that are not saved know this. So to rectify the matter for you, Gen. 6:13-19 (Eight people) survived the flood I asked you for scripture, to back up the statement made by Val. that you apparently agreed with, That Adam had all the DNA in him for the different Races. There is no scripture for that theory. I did not say my theory was true, I said it made more sense, because of the confusion of the language event in history. The possibility of both events taking place at the same time. According to your own posts you knew exactly where I was going, you said yourself in your 2nd. Note to ME, that you saw my point. Jim: Oh, Ok, I see your point: My advice to you is this. Start back at the beginning, read through what you said, then what my answer to your points were, I said it 1,000 X's So there will not be any misunderstanding, on anything. The Theory that, " Adam who had the DNA for all the features we see in humankind". Cannot be backed up by scripture. There isn't even 1 scripture that you could misconstrue, to get to that point. That is what is called Dogma, a statement made, as a statement of truth, not based in fact. I did not say my theory was fact, I said it was an alternative, that made more sense. My personal belief, I have posted before, is this. Everything changed when the language was confounded in Babylon. ( Post Flood ). To me it makes most sense, because that's when a CHANGE took place that ( WAS DOCUMENTED ). To me that was the time, that God also changed the RACES. But if you want to believe the lie, that cannot be substantiated by scripture, but only on the basis, because it has been put forth by (SCHOLARS) go right ahead. Subject: 3 brothers descendants changed Note: Well, Jim, Most Scholars agree however, though we cant say at what point God put the ability to diversify in man, we can agree that it was in Noah's sons, from Noah, since they are his direct descendent's, and as it is agreed, they spread out and repopulated the earth. As the theory goes however (there's that word again :-) as language was confused and spread across the earth it was adopted by the descendant's of Noah's sons. But like you said that may be just conjecture. The important thing is that God did it. Shalom John GOD BLESS Jim |

113 | Just needing a little more insight | Col 2:18 | lookinforacity | 205280 | ||
Hi Sandy: Your question, on Col. 2:18 has nothing at all to do with the worshiping of angels. The only connection that I can make to the angel part is, someone might say, I have seen an angel and this is what he said. Example (Joseph Smith) (Mormon Religion). The rest of the Chapter tells you WHAT WAS SAID, in verse 18. Verse 8 says the same thing, as the others,that's why I added it. I cannot say it any better than Paul wrote. 18) Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 8) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 20) Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 21) (Touch not; taste not; handle not; 22) Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? 23) Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. I hope these will answer, your question, now that you understand them, in context. Now go back and read the whole chapter, and see if it all makes sense. GOD BLESS Jim |

114 | Need Clarification on Asking/Receiving | James 1:6 | lookinforacity | 205268 | ||
Hi Student: Hope this clears things up for you. As you can see, in this case, the question of receiving from the Lord, ONLY refers to ONE thing. That is (WISDOM.) These Verses, are specific unto the context, used in these verses. You cannot apply them to any other verse, where we are told how to pray for things, in our lives. ie. healing, jobs, money etc. James 1:5 5) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. The Verses 3 - 9, in PROV. all refer to the verses you are asking about. Ask in faith, not doubting. Do not be like the waves. We should not doubt, what he has told us to ask for, HE has laid it up for US. He HAS told us to ask, Do Not DOUBT God at His WORD. He will perform, that which he has promised. Prov. 2:1-12 1) My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; 2) So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; *3) Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; *4) If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; *5) Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. *6) For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. *7) He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. *8) He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. *9) Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. 10) When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 11) Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: 12) To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; The only problem that I saw, was that you were applying these verses, to the other verses, on praying, and receiving from the Lord. At that point they are confusing. Just remember, when you do not understand what your reading, go back, as many times as it takes, like it says in Prov. 2 :3,4 asking for guidance, all you were missing, in order for you to be able to understand was, verse (5) having that NOW, does it make sense to you? GOD BLESS Jim |

115 | Not need teachers? In what way? | 1 John 2:27 | lookinforacity | 203869 | ||
Thomas: When you have studied, have you ever had what I call the "WOW" factor experiance? If you have, that WAS the Holy Spirit, teaching you. My personal belief is, if you have read the whole Bible, the Holy Spirit Can and will bring back to you what you need to know, (rember) when you need to have it. 2 Sam 22:29 "For You are my lamp, O LORD; And the LORD illumines my darkness. As far as no man needing to teach you, that comes down to a question of Faith. Prov 2:6 For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. |

Hi Thomas: This might answer it for you, a book to be found, and a quote. Unmasking Methodist Theology: A Way Forward - Google Books Resultby Clive Marsh, Brian Beck, Angela Shier-Jones ... - 2004 - Religion - 248 pages "Given this position statement we can expect Methodism's official understanding of 'revelation' to be located in orthodox Protestantism."

117 | The 7 Churches of ASIA | Rev 1:4 | lookinforacity | 204827 | ||
The seven Churches that were in Asia, received warning. Did they change, do they still exist? Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea. These Churches were important enough, to be mentioned in Revelation, and also important enough, to get direct warning from Jesus. (WHY) How do they fit into the picture, of the Church, as it is today? If they did not survive, what happened to them, and when? |
||||||
118 | The 7 Churches of ASIA | Rev 1:4 | lookinforacity | 204850 | ||
Hi: F.O.O.T.: The Church, (body of believers). It just seemed to me, there was more to it, than what we come up with at first glance. Yeah, I know what you mean, different types, or personalities of Church bodies. I have felt the same. But it also seems as though, there should be more. Those Churches were apparently, pretty much wiped out, by the Ottoman Empire. Why? Did they NOT do, what they were told to do? The letter to these Churches, was different, than those Paul wrote, THIS LETTER was sent to all of them. Paul was writing to the others, in essence to fine tune them. Teaching doctrine. All of the other books (letters) can be used for teaching, this letter is Prophesy ! God did tell him to write it, (God) KNOWING that it would, be put into the Bible. Isn't it strange, it ended up, as the last one, in today's Bible. looks like that's just where it should be. The rest of the book of Rev. has so much more spiritual symbolism, meaning, it's like they don't go together. What was written in the first few chapters could have been sent to them, separately. Unless there is another deeper meaning, because they are included, in the whole of Rev. God Bless thanks JIM |

119 | Make a Decision | Rev 3:20 | lookinforacity | 204965 | ||
Is this verse in essence, a call to Salvation, spoken by JESUS? From the other verses 14-19 it sounds like he's saying, choose this day whom you will serve! Make a decision. |

Hi Chesshores: Here are two verses for your inspection. Hope they are what you were looking for Isaiah 22:22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. Revelation 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; GOD BLESS Jim |
