Hello dschaertel You continue to make statements concerning all these supposed canon lists, yet the only one you attempt to cite is Josephus (and that without proper reference). You need to document this claim. Steve |

Hello luvconquers You have a confused view of what God does as opposed to what sinful man does. Steve |

Hello Hopefilled That's exactly what I would say. Steve |

Hello Hopefilled None of us are "pure." I would rather say that these had faith demonstrated by their obedience to God. Steve |

Hello jawz I can admit to different views. Sometimes I can even admit the other views are of equal value to the ones I hold. I can even admit that your conclusion of three women in John 19:25 is as valid as my conclusion that there are four women. I simply cannot agree with your position of the perpetual virginity of Mary. Steve |

Hello jawz You wrote: "yet the Jewish tribes do not intermarry" and "from what we know from tradition, Mary was raised in the temple from childhood". May I ask for your source(s) on these? It appears you are putting a great deal of faith in undocumented sources in order to make your point. Steve |

Hello Serentime I certainly get your drift. But if we lived in 1611, there would be no misunderstanding at all. :-) Steve |

1069 | Was Mary a virgin her whole life | Matt 1:25 | srbaegon | 47751 | ||
Hello Hank Over the years I've bristled at those in the Reformed camp who would continually fall back on creeds and confessions to prove a point. Just this year I finally figured out why. They did not want to stray from the truth that had previously been discovered and taught! This modern day has such a breadth and depth of solid teaching--confirmed over the centuries and helped by recent discoveries--that there should be little excuse for these odd doctrines to appear. Yet pride continues to have its way in our hearts, so that "I know best." Knowing what it's like to be shot down, Steve |

Hello Serenetime My point was that the English language has changed from 1611 to now. "Careful" used to have the idea of "anxiety," now it means more like "attentive." So when Philippians has "Be careful for nothing," it is a good translation in King James English. That's all. Steve |

Hello Serenetime "Careful" was a perfectly good word to use as it was understood when KJV was translated. There are several English words that have adjusted their meanings in 400 years. The modern definition of "awful" is "extremely bad or unpleasant." Back then, the defintion was closer to "full of awe." In the same way "careful" was "full of care" (i.e. anxious). Steve |

Hello TKO I'm curious how you see 2:23 as the time of preparation. The verse says "at the Passover, during the feast". Steve |
||||||
1073 | Gosple of John | John | srbaegon | 47616 | ||
Hello TKO I don't doubt the accuracy of the length of time you give for the trip to Galilee. But you miss this succession of events: Passover (2:23), trip to Galilee (4:1-54), "After these things there was a feast in Jerusalem" (a different feast from Passover -- 5:1), back to Galilee (6:1), Passover draws near (6:4). Even if you would disagree concerning the intervening events, the wording between 2:23 and 6:4 clearly indicates a different Passover. John 4:54 states that the miracle was "a" second sign, not "the" second sign. John is simply stating this was the second sign used in the gospel account. Steve |

1074 | Was Mary a virgin her whole life | Matt 1:25 | srbaegon | 47507 | ||
Hello jawz You say: "The greek word 'eos' does not translate simply as 'until' in English but is used in a perfect continuous form which makes it an unbound condition" The perfect continuous form is a verb tense that describes a state in the past having an definite ending whether past, present, or future. The word "until" is not a verb but a preposition that tells us when the condition ceased. The passage is clear that Joseph had relations with Mary after Jesus was born. Your rationale concerning Jesus' family is fanciful. The plain text is best. Why did Jesus entrust Mary to John? You gave the verse yourself, John 7:5. Your sentimentality concerning Mary and Joseph make for a good story, but not good theology. Steve |

Hello TKO John 6:4 (ESV) Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. Steve |

1076 | Was Bible time kept the same way as now | Genesis | srbaegon | 47474 | ||
Hello Parable I agree with you. As a final paper for Apologetics, I discussed the problem of viewing time in a linear fashion. I tried to view things as God looked at them and came up with a spiral or circular model of time, so that all things are before God at once. We miss the connections the past has to the present and future, because we don't try or don't want to make those connections and understand them. Steve |

1077 | Is Genesis 1:2 the fall of satan? | Gen 1:2 | srbaegon | 47328 | ||
Hello G zaz Let me put it this way. If I have a lump of clay, it's formless and void. There are no distinguishing characteristics or defining marks. It's a blob. Then I start to form something by adding shape, design, even color. At each stage I call it good because it's what I want done and is a step toward the completed product. Incrementally, something with purpose is formed. In the end it is complete, and I say it's very good. That's how I see Genesis 1. God started out with a mass or blob, and day-by-day He shaped and added to it with increasing complexity, with the pinnacle of that creatorial work being mankind. Each step demonstrated an additional facet of God's glory so that His eternal power and divine nature are evident (Rom 1:20). Steve |

1079 | Christ- wisdom increasing or reputation? | Luke 2:52 | srbaegon | 47287 | ||
Hello bob r. Luke did indeed tell us Jesus' reputation was gaining as in Luke 2:52 (ESV) And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man. I think both are true. Steve |

1080 | One God- Three manifestations | John 14:5 | srbaegon | 47286 | ||
Hello bob r. OK, let's stick to Scripture. That's proper. Neither of us disagrees with the divinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, only on whether these are three persons or one person representing Himself in different ways. Let's look at the OT. 1. Each of the following has the Lord God speaking and using both plural and singular pronouns of Himself. Genesis 1:26-27 (ESV) Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…" So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Genesis 3:22-24 (ESV) Then the Lord God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil…." therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden… He drove out the man. Isaiah 6:8 (ESV) And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" ----------------- 2. There are Scriptures that have God referring to another as God or Lord. Psalm 45:6-7 (ESV) Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness; [7] you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions. Psalm 110:1 (ESV) The Lord says to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool." Malachi 3:1 (ESV) "Behold, I send my messenger and he will prepare the way before me. And the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts. Hosea 1:7 (ESV) But I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and I will save them by the Lord their God. I will not save them by bow or by sword or by war or by horses or by horsemen." ----------------- 3. The Holy Spirit is spoken of as distinct from God. Isaiah 48:16 (ESV) Draw near to me, hear this: from the beginning I have not spoken in secret, from the time it came to be I have been there." And now the Lord God has sent me, and his Spirit. Isaiah 61:1 (ESV) The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; Isaiah 63:10 (ESV) But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit; therefore he turned to be their enemy, and himself fought against them. ----------------- 4. An angel is a messenger of God, therefore distinct from God. Yet the Angel of the Lord is called God. Genesis 16:13; Exodus 3:2-6; 23:20-22; Numbers 22:35,38; Judges 2:1-2; 6:11,14) ----------------- These may not prove conclusive to you. If you want to discuss NT proofs or other pertinent items, I'd be happy to oblige. Steve |
