1101 | what sabbath does it refer to? | Col 2:16 | srbaegon | 25713 | ||
Another view................................ The "handwriting of ordinances that was against us" could not refer to the "sacrificial ceremonial law." It was that part of the Law which the faithful relied on to give atonement for the sins and trespasses committed. The ordinances against us were the original 10 which could never be kept perfectly and pointed out our sin. Steve |
||||||
1102 | what sabbath does it refer to? | Col 2:16 | srbaegon | 25797 | ||
I'm puzzled. It appears you are saying that the ceremonial law is against us because the only way to be saved is to follow it. Is that correct? Steve |
||||||
1103 | what sabbath does it refer to? | Col 2:16 | srbaegon | 25819 | ||
Your words condemn you, sir. According to this posting and the previous, you say we would be saved by the sacrifices. This is not the case at all. In all of Scripture righteousness is accounted to us on the basis of faith (Gen 15:6; Rom 4:1-8). If the sacrifices could save, we would not need Christ. Your idea of "works righteousness" fails miserably. Steve |

Hello whys The fact that you responded to a year-old posting tells me you are trying to pick a fight. Please go elsewhere with it. Steve |

1105 | Will there be a partial rapture? | 1 Thess 4:17 | srbaegon | 154002 | ||
Hello MJH, As a Bible professor once told the class, "Paul did some un-Pauline things on his last trip to Jerusalem." By this he meant that Acts 21:24,26 is NOT characteristic of Paul's teaching and work. What you have suggested is contrary to Paul's teaching: 1 Cor 9:19-23 (ESV) For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. 20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings. Timothy's circumcision was not done because Paul followed the Torah. Rather it removed a potential stumbling block in reaching out to Jews (Acts 16:3). Steve |

1106 | Will there be a partial rapture? | 1 Thess 4:17 | srbaegon | 154022 | ||
Hello MJH, Misleading? Certainly not. Acts 21 records how the elders asked him to do a favor in order to bring some measure of peace with Jewish authorities, no more. Acts 22 says nothing either way of his personal life whether according to Torah or not. The point of the request was to demonstrate that Paul was not preaching abandonment of the Mosaic Law. He was rather preaching its fulfillment. And if it was fulfilled, it is no longer a determinant for Christian conduct. Peter didn't do the same thing. He was causing Gentiles to live like Jews which they never were to do. Paul neither lied nor deceived. He was living what he had taught--to the Jews I became a Jew. Steve |

1107 | Which saints will be left behind? | 1 Thess 4:17 | srbaegon | 188755 | ||
Hello M.Royal, An inumerable multitude will be saved in the great tribulation. Rev 7:9,13-14 (ESV) After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands...Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?" I said to him, "Sir, you know." And he said to me, "These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." Steve |

1108 | Which saints will be left behind? | 1 Thess 4:17 | srbaegon | 188778 | ||
Hello M.Royal, I anticipated this erroneous reasoning. In order to come out of something, one must be in it first. Steve |
||||||
1109 | Which saints will be left behind? | 1 Thess 4:17 | srbaegon | 188798 | ||
Hello M.Royal, That reply made no sense. Can you explain it? Steve |
||||||
1110 | Which saints will be left behind? | 1 Thess 4:17 | srbaegon | 188814 | ||
Hello M.Royal, I understand that 144,000 are sealed, but what verse tells you that nobody else will be saved during the tribulation? Steve |
||||||
1111 | Which saints will be left behind? | 1 Thess 4:17 | srbaegon | 188828 | ||
Hello M.Royal, You had answered my question before I asked it by referencing these two passages--Rev 9:20-21; Rev 16:9-11. This is easily answered. The great tribulation has started already (Rev 6), 144000 are sealed, and a great multitude is saved and killed. After the multitude is gone, those that are left refuse to repent. Steve |

1112 | What is "slain in the spirit"? | 1 Thess 5:21 | srbaegon | 158332 | ||
Hello Mark7, Supporting Scripture for this answer please. None was given. Steve |
||||||
1113 | What is "slain in the spirit"? | 1 Thess 5:21 | srbaegon | 158338 | ||
In ID# 158318 you wrote, "Jesus Christ the Son of God did/does the 'slaying' in both cases." What is your supporting Scriptural evidence? Steve |
||||||
1114 | What is "slain in the spirit"? | 1 Thess 5:21 | srbaegon | 158342 | ||
Hello Mark7, This verse says nothing about Jesus Christ slaying anyone with or by anything. Again, what is your Scriptural backing? Steve |
||||||
1115 | What is "slain in the spirit"? | 1 Thess 5:21 | srbaegon | 158363 | ||
Hello Mark7, 1. That verse says nothing about being "slain in the Spirit." 2. Please give the Scripture that says "slain in the Spirit" is equivalent to "falling in the Power." Steve |

1116 | It's never effort-free with God! | 1 Thess 5:23 | srbaegon | 135170 | ||
Hello Dalcent, "Now please answer if possible: For, Acts 20:20, is the entirety of this 'teaching' contained in the NT, and has to be limited to this? Give a scripture." One will not do it. It would take a bit of time to assemble the teaching on the doctrine of canonicity. "In, 2 Th 2:15, are the traditions taught 'either by our spoken word or by our letter' exact duplications, with no additional teaching delivered by 'mouth?' Yes or No or Don’t know?" I would say it is a duplication (1 Cor 11:2,16). "And, 1 Tim 3:15, if there is any supplementary oral teaching, would it not obviously be held the 'church of the living God' where there is a 2,000 continuity / apostolic succession..." If such a thing existed in one "church," I would say yes. "Allowing the plain sense of 2 Th 2:15, if a doctrine is false, why can’t I ask for a scripture which disproves it, if it is held by my Church." Because your church reinterprets all the verses which point out the disprovals. Steve |

1117 | It's never effort-free with God! | 1 Thess 5:23 | srbaegon | 135228 | ||
Hello Dalcent, "In what way do these verses infer that these traditions refer only to the text of the NT rather than those traditions delivered orally which may have things to add?" It doesn't infer this. My point was that Paul was consistent in his teaching to all the churches whether oral or written. "2Jo 1:12 is absolutely clear John has more teachings to deliver than what he has put in writing...viz. some aspect of his teaching is not complete." Agreed, but because the teaching wasn't shared with the other churches (i.e. canonized), we have no reason to think it was pertinent to anyone else or even that it was additional teaching beyond the revelation already given through the apostles. "Can you reword the last line. 'Because your church reinterprets all the verses which point out the disprovals.' I'm sorry but I can't make out what you're meaning here. I interested in understanding your point." I'll give an example--the perpetual virginity of Mary. There are two very clear verses which negate this: 1) Matt 1:24-25 (ESV) When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, [25] but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus. RCC teaching would say this is only letting us know Joseph obeyed during Mary's pregnancy, and that we cannot state there was the normal sexual union afterward. But normal English usage (which is what the translators work toward) would infer that Joseph had normal sexual relations with Mary after Jesus was born. My wife and I were at a funeral home last night for visitation until 6:15. What did I mean? That we left at 6:15. While I could have been technically correct if I told you we were there until 6:00, my meaning was best conveyed by using the time we actually departed. The same is true of the text in Matthew’s gospel. 2) Mark 3: 31-35 And his mother and his brothers came, and standing outside they sent to him and called him. [32] And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, "Your mother and your brothers are outside, seeking you." [33] And he answered them, "Who are my mother and my brothers?" [34] And looking about at those who sat around him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! [35] Whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother." Again, normal English usage would indicate these were his half-brothers and not other relatives (cousins, etc.) as RCC teaching would have. Steve |

Hello Dalcent, Thank you for strengthening my argument with these verses. In each case something is met which completes the entire condition. It is no longer in effect. Gen 8:6-7 - The raven ceased going to and fro. It settled down. Isaiah 46:4 - God no longer carries us because we are with him. Luke 20:42-43 - See 1 Cor 15:25-28. Matt 1:25 - The had sexual relations after Jesus was born. Steve |

1119 | What is 2 Thess. 2:1-12 telling us? | 2 Thess 2:1 | srbaegon | 236035 | ||
Hello Bammer, Stringing together a series of verses does not make anything clear. You need to make a reasoned explanation. Steve |
||||||
1120 | How can we avoid deception? | 2 Thess 2:11 | srbaegon | 122719 | ||
Hello Aixen7z4, I am not confused about what scripture teaches. I was confused by your position as to the believer. I know for certain that believers are secure in Christ. You said: "You can judge for yourself whether this ever applies to a believer." I have judged for myself and know this will not happen. Steve |
