1041 | Who is the Bride of Christ? | Revelation | azurelaw | 206348 | ||
Dear GBzones, Welcome to the forum. You say: "Even as Eve was taken from the body of the first Adam. As bride for Issac was taken from AMONG his brtheren. As Levi was taken from among the 12 twelve tribes. As Peter James and John were taken from the 12 apostles. She will be made up predominatly from the gentiles. Moses was already marrried to a gentile when he delivered isreal. Joseph was already married to a gentile bride when He revealed himself to his bretheren. Ruth a gentile married BOAZ the redeemer. " I would appreciate it if you could elaborate how would you come up with the above conclusion. Shalom Azure |

Hank, I finally understand why so many people are not afraid of going to hell for they have pre-tasted it and enjoyed it while they are having "sauna". Prov 10:14 :-) Shalom Azure |

1043 | John 10:30 vs 1 Cor 11:3 Contradiction?? | Revelation | azurelaw | 217671 | ||
Dear Lexus, Phil 2:6 John 1 Scripture clearly teaches that Jesus is God. "In the unity of the Godhead there be three persons, of one substance, power, and eternity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost:[38] the Father is of none, neither begotten, nor proceeding; the Son is eternally begotten of the Father;[39] the Holy Ghost eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son.[40] 38. Matt. 3:16-17; 28:19; II Cor. 13:14; see Eph. 2:18 39. John 1:14, 18; see Heb. 1:2-3; Col. 1:15 40. John 15:26; Gal. 4:6" --- The Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter II Shalom Azure |

Hi Brad, I think the reason for the 666 is because it is in verse 18 (the sum of three 6) [pun intended] :-) Azure |

Dear Ministry777, It sounds a bit odd to see that you post a question and answer it yourself. However, with reference to your original question, I hope the below information helpful to you: **** That this book was written by the Apostle and Evangelist John, is clear not only from the express mention of his name, and from his office, a servant of Jesus Christ, Revelation 1:1; but also from the character this writer gives of himself, Revelation 1:2; as being an eyewitness of the essential Logos, or Word of God, and who bore a faithful record of him as such, as John did in his Gospel, in a very peculiar and remarkable manner, and from this writer's being in the isle of Patmos when he wrote, Revelation 1:9; ... In the Vulgate Latin version it is called the Apocalypse of the blessed John the Apostle; and in the Syriac version, the Revelation which was made to John the Evangelist; and in the Arabic version, the Vision of John, the Apostle and Evangelist, to wit, the Apocalypse. All which acknowledge the Apostle John to be the writer of it, and show the sense of the ancients concerning it... - John Gill **** To read the fuller content, please go to http://eword.gospelcom.net/comments/revelation/gill/revelationintro.htm Shalom Azure |

Dear Bab53, *************** Matthew 18:10 states, “See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.” In the context, “these little ones” could either apply to those who believe in Him (v. 6) or it could refer to the little children (vv. 3-5). This is the key passage when the discussion of guardian angels comes up. There is no doubt that good angels help protect (Daniel 6:20-23; 2 Kings 6:13-17), reveal information (Acts 7:52-53; Luke 1:11-20), guide (Matthew 1:20-21; Acts 8:26), provide for (Genesis 21-17-20; 1 Kings 19:5-7), and minister to believers in general (Hebrews 1:14). The question that arises is whether each person—or each believer—has an angel assigned to him/her. In the Old Testament, the nation of Israel had the archangel (Michael) assigned to it (Daniel 10:21; 12:1), but nowhere in Scripture does it state that an angel was “assigned” to an individual (they were sometimes sent to individuals, but no mention of “permanent” assignment is given). The Jews had fully developed the belief in guardian angels during the time between the Old and New Testament periods. Some early church fathers believed that each person had not only a good angel assigned to him/her, but also a demon as well. The belief in guardian angels has been around for a long time, but there is no explicit scriptural basis for it. To return to Matthew 18:10, the word “their” is a collective pronoun in the Greek, and refers to the fact that believers are served by angels in general. These angels are pictured “always” watching the face of God so as to hear His command to them to help a believer when it is needed. If one is to take from the Matthew passage that guardian angels are referred to, it would seem that these angels are continually guarding a person, but rather “always see the face of” the Father in heaven. The active duty or oversight seems then to come more from God than the angels, which makes perfect sense because God alone is omniscient. He sees every believer at every moment, and He alone knows when one of us needs the intervention of an angel. Because they are continually seeing His face, the angels are at His disposal to help one of His “little ones.” It cannot be emphatically answered from Scripture whether or not each believer has a guardian angel assigned to him/her. But as stated earlier, God does use them in ministering to us. It is scriptural to say that He uses them as He uses us, i.e. He in no way needs us or them to accomplish His purposes, but chooses to use us and them nevertheless (Job 4:18; Job 15:15). In the end, whether we have an angel assigned to protect us or not, we have a greater assurance that God gives: if we are His children through faith in Christ, He works all things together for good (Romans 8:28-30), and that Jesus Christ will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5-6). If we have an omniscient, omnipotent, all-loving God with us, does it really matter whether or not there is a finite “guardian angel” protecting us? source: http://gotquestions.org/guardian-angels.html *************** Shalom Azure |

1048 | ... | Rev 1:1 | azurelaw | 215576 | ||
Dear Bab, The scripture is clear that we have to test the spirits (angels are spiritual beings) since Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light, his followers can work miracles to deceive us. 1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; 1 John 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. 2 Cor 11:14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Matt 24:24 "For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. Shalom Azure |

Dear Tamara, Will be praying for you. 1 Tim 4:8 for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. The scripture doesn't say we should ignore our physical exercise, hmmm? :-) Shalom Azure |

Dear Pastor Beja, I agree with you completely. I also think believers more or less have got some of the "crowns" in this life. (Psalm 103:4, Gal 5:22-23 and Jesus' teaching of the beatitudes) Shalom Azure |

Dear Brother Doc, Traducianism held by Martin Luther... Is it possible for you provide the source where I can retrieve Luther's article on this subject? Though my church is Lutheran based, as far as my memory serves me, I cannot recall the idea of soul inherited from parents in my mind. What I have had in mind is pretty much similar to what you have said about the creationism view. It would be good to know more about Lurther's thought on the subject. Thanks and Shalom Azure |

Dear Brother Doc, I owe you my note of conference on Revelation presented remarkably by a local theologian Dr Simon Chau. In respond to your quote from Rev.K DeYoung, Dr. Chau presented pretty much the same idea on the number of 144,000. Revelations is full of symbolic language (and so much tied with the OT) which targeted to the intended readers (the 1st century Christians)and they (unlike us - those modern people) would not have the problem to understand what John was talking. Dr. Chau said that if we have not read the OT or any idea of the OT, there is no way that we could understand Revelation properly. We also have to put our foot into the intended readers' shoes. Sadly that nowadays, OT is so much neglected on the pulpit that many Christians lack the proper understanding of the Bible as a whole. Shalom Azure |

1059 | belief in hell? | Rev 20:15 | azurelaw | 240165 | ||
Dear Maus, Though you mentioned that you have read the TOU, I wonder you might have missed the below statement: Postings must be consistent with Biblical Christian doctrine (Apostles Creed, Nicene Creed, Chalcedonian Creed, and Canons of the Council of Orange) Please consider that your disbelief in the Trinity contradicts to what the above Creeds affirm. Furthermore, on your other post (240071) you advised the poster to view the subject of HELL with "tongue in cheek". I don't understand how a Christian could treat a subject, which Jesus talked more than any other persons in the Bible, with a light heart. Though we should not overly exaggerated Hell, yet, we cannot water-down or ignore the teaching of it for Jesus has repeatedly warned the audience about it. Shalom Azure |
