1121 | Is the Law abolished or not? | Eph 2:15 | jlpangilinan | 57972 | ||
McGracer, You are welcome! You said"I just find that I cannot consistently do it." That is true, the two commandments is very hard to follow, but we have to do our best to follow Christ, dont worry that is my problem too. Just keep doing our part and let the lord God help us. God bless, Johnny |

1122 | Is the Law abolished or not? | Eph 2:15 | jlpangilinan | 57974 | ||
You said" There is no "obligation" or duty of obedience (for any reason) after Jesus's death... he fulfilled that TOTALLY with his blood." No! there is obligation, following Christ is our obligation as a Christian. If you have faith in Him you should have a good fruit as your output as a following of Him. Here is our duty now: Mt 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mt 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mt 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Loving God is your duty and responsibility Loving your nieghbor is indeed a responsibility. God bless, Johnny |

1123 | Is the Law abolished or not? | Eph 2:15 | jlpangilinan | 57988 | ||
No! they are not conflict and contradict each other. Christ fulfilling the law with a deep and meaning, it is totally different what moses taught in his people in the old testament time. Christ said he come to fulfill the law, but He done works that punisheable by death inside the law If we remember that law forbid to do works in sabbath day. Christ did He did healing and other works in sabbath: Mt 12:1 ¶ At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. t 12:15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all; If we think that Christ breaking the law by doing those things, He is imprudent and contradict Himself in matt 15:17 In Ephesians 2:15 He abolished it by freeing us to the works of law and not disobeying the law! He free us in sacrificial like lamb, cow and other animals by making Himself a ultimate offering. By His death we are free from the law. For example, in the old testament gathering stick in the day of sabbath is punisheable by death. We have to stone our brother and sister if they do this in the day of sabbath Christ free us from this kind of practices and works of the law. We dont have to stone somebody if we caught them commiting adultery. Those are some works of the law that Christ free us by His death. Christ abolishing the law by freeing us in the works of the law but not disobeying the law. If we remember that Christ give us the two great commandments, If we observe this two commandments there is no single teaching of the law we disobeying. Christ fulfilling the law by observing the two commandments. God bless, Johnny |

1124 | Is the Law abolished or not? | Eph 2:15 | jlpangilinan | 58053 | ||
I know that we cannot be ferfect on our own. So if have no obligation what are you doing wait and not do anything? You have the obligations as a Christian as a follower of Christ you must obey His commandments. You do this not be save but because you love God. If really you said was true that we have no obligation, to be ferfect do you think it is not an obligation? You have to follow first become a ferfect, how could you be a perfect if dont want to follow. Take a look at this verse. Jas 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. If you know good and you dont do it what james said, it is a sin. Christ is telling His desciples these things... Joh 14:15 ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments. Keeping His commandments is an obligation, to follow is an obligation, how about you you dont want to follow? Christ said to us... Mt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: What is our obligation, to teach, as a matter of fact the desciples follow this. If you are right that we have no obligation I am sure they dont do it, but because they follow Christ they evangelize His teaching, they wrote it that is why we have the bible now, and you said we have no obligation? I dont think so. We have obligation as a follower of Christ, but because we have faith in Him we try to follow His commandments, not to be save by our works but we do it because we love Him. Jas 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. So if you have faith, make sure there is an output, because faith withoout an output is questionable. God bless, Johnny |

My explanation is very clear! You do it because you love Jesus Christ, What is the proof that you love Him if do not do anything for Him. Your answers to me is your own toughts and not a biblical facts, you dont even put verses to supported your claim. Paul and other apostle done many things for Christ, they do many things, if you dont its up to you. And please before anything else please answer or disporove my points with a passages in the bible and tell me if I misused scriptures.

1127 | type of wood the cross is made of | Eph 2:16 | jlpangilinan | 31498 | ||
I think it is not mention in the bible of what kind of wood used for the cross of Jesus Christ. (if somebody can give you its good) Easton Bible Dictionary Entry on Cross in the New Testament the instrument of crucifixion, and hence used for the crucifixion of Christ itself (Eph 2:16; Heb 12:2; 1Co 1:17-18; Ga 5:11; 6:12,14; Php 3:18). The word is also used to denote any severe affliction or trial (Mt 10:38; 16:24; Mr 8:34; 10:21). The forms in which the cross is represented are these: Crucifixion a common mode of punishment among heathen nations in early times. It is not certain whether it was known among the ancient Jews; probably it was not. The modes of capital punishment according to the Mosaic law were, by the sword (Ex 21:1-36), strangling, fire (Le 20:1-27), and stoning (De 21:1-23). This was regarded as the most horrible form of death, and to a Jew it would acquire greater horror from the curse in De 21:23. This punishment began by subjecting the sufferer to scourging. In the case of our Lord, however, his scourging was rather before the sentence was passed upon him, and was inflicted by Pilate for the purpose, probably, of exciting pity and procuring his escape from further punishment (Lu 23:22; Joh 19:1). The condemned one carried his own cross to the place of execution, which was outside the city, in some conspicuous place set apart for the purpose. Before the nailing to the cross took place, a medicated cup of vinegar mixed with gall and myrrh (the sopor) was given, for the purpose of deadening the pangs of the sufferer. Our Lord refused this cup, that his senses might be clear (Mt 27:34). The spongeful of vinegar, sour wine, posca, the common drink of the Roman soldiers, which was put on a hyssop stalk and offered to our Lord in contemptuous pity (Mt 27:48; Lu 23:36), he tasted to allay the agonies of his thirst (Joh 19:29). The accounts given of the crucifixion of our Lord are in entire agreement with the customs and practices of the Roman in such cases. He was crucified between two "malefactors" (Isa 53:12; Lu 23:32), and was watched by a party of four soldiers (Joh 19:23; Mt 27:36,54), with their centurion. The "breaking of the legs" of the malefactors was intended to hasten death, and put them out of misery (Joh 19:31); but the unusual rapidity of our Lord's death (Joh 19:33) was due to his previous sufferings and his great mental anguish. The omission of the breaking of his legs was the fulfilment of a type (Ex 12:46). He literally died of a broken heart, a ruptured heart, and hence the flowing of blood and water from the wound made by the soldier's spear (Joh 19:34). Our Lord uttered seven memorable words from the cross, namely, (1) Lu 23:34; (2) Lu 23:43; (3) Joh 19:26; (4) Mt 27:46; Mr 15:34; (5) Joh 19:28; (6) Joh 19:30; (7) Lu 23:46. 1. The crux simplex (I), a "single piece without transom." 2. The crux decussata (X), or St. Andrew's cross. 3. The crux commissa (T), or St. Anthony's cross. 4. The crux immissa (t), or Latin cross, which was the kind of cross on which our Saviour died. Above our Lord's head, on the projecting beam, was placed the "title." (See Crucifixion.) After the conversion, so-called, of Constantine the Great (B.C. 313), the cross first came into use as an emblem of Christianity. He pretended at a critical moment that he saw a flaming cross in the heavens bearing the inscription, "In hoc signo vinces", i.e., By this sign thou shalt conquer, and that on the following night Christ himself appeared and ordered him to take for his standard the sign of this cross. In this form a new standard, called the Labarum, was accordingly made, and borne by the Roman armies. It remained the standard of the Roman army till the downfall of the Western empire. It bore the embroidered monogram of Christ, i.e., the first two Greek letters of his name, X and P (chi and rho), with the Alpha and Omega. (See .) |

1128 | how can i help him/ | Eph 5:18 | jlpangilinan | 56325 | ||
No! that verses is talking about celebration but not to be ungodly liesure: De 14:26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, in the very end of that verse it was mentioned that "shall eat there before the lord" and lord did not tolerate ungodly liesure! It not mentioned there that even ungodly liesure! In the new testament apostle taught us not be drunkerness: Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Drunkeness is manifested of the flesh: Ga 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Ga 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Ga 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. We can drink wine, bt not to be drunk of wine. Wine (red wine is good for highblood pressure)you can drink wine but it depend upon your motive to drink it. Apostle paul told timothy to drink wine instead of water because of timoty's stomach condition: 1Ti 5:23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. So you can drink wine, but not to be drunk of wine. God bless, Johnny |

1129 | does adult child still listen to parents | Eph 6:1 | jlpangilinan | 118314 | ||
We have to obey our parents if they teach us the right things according to the commandments of God. It is not limited with how old we are, when our parents taught us the right things we m ust obey it is the commandments of God. Eph 6:1 ¶ Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Eph 6:2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) Eph 6:3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. Parents also reminded to taught us the right things unto the Lord. Eph 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Col 3:20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Col 3:21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. If our parents lead us to disobey God! we have the right to do what is right. For example there are parents taught thier children to steal. These parents are not parents in the Lord. We dont have to obey them. Christ taught us regarding this: Lu 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Christ said if we want to be His desciples we are ready to hate our family if they are the reason we cannot follow Christ. God bless, |

1132 | stricter accountability required by some | Phil 1:13 | jlpangilinan | 23856 | ||
If I read you correctly Paul is a very example of person that called by God for special tasks. I put here maybe one fourth of his Evangelical Journey Paul As he waited at Troas for indications of the will of God as to his future movements, he saw, in the vision of the night, a man from the opposite shores of Macedonia standing before him, and heard him cry, "Come over, and help us" (Ac 16:9). Paul recognized in this vision a message from the Lord, In Macedonia, churches were planted in Philippi, Thessalonica, and Berea. Leaving this province, Achaia, Athens, but quitted it after, probably, a brief sojourn (Ac 17:17-31). He passed over to Corinth, Thessalonica, his earliest apostolic letters, and then sailed for Syria. third missionary tour. He journeyed by land in the "upper coasts" (the more eastern parts) of Asia Minor, Ephesus, where he tarried for no less than three years, engaged in Christian labour. First Epistle to the Corinthians The silversmiths, whose traffic in the little images which they made was in danger organized a riot against Paul, and he left the city, and proceeded to Troas (2Co 2:12), he went to meet Titus in Macedonia. Having spent Macedonia, visiting the churches there, specially the churches of Philippi, Thessalonica, and Berea, probably penetrating into the interior, to the shores of the Adriatic (Ro 15:19), he then came into Greece, where he abode three month, spending probably the greater part of this time in Corinth (Ac 20:2). he wrote his Epistle to the Galatians, and also the great Epistle to the Romans. At the end of the three months he left Achaia for Macedonia, thence crossed into Asia Minor, and touching at Miletus, there addressed the Ephesian presbyters, whom he had sent for to meet him (Ac 20:17), and then sailed for Tyre, finally reaching Jerusalem, probably in the spring of A.D. 58. He was almost murdered by a Jewish mob in the temple. (See Temple, Herod's.) Rescued from their violence by the Roman commandant, he was conveyed as a prisoner to Caesarea, where, from various causes, he was detained a prisoner for two years in Herod's praetorium (Ac 23:35). "Paul was not kept in close confinement; he had at least the range of the barracks in which he was detained. for him, or perhaps encountering dangers in which they sorely needed his presence. It was a mysterious providence which thus arrested his energies and condemned the ardent worker to inactivity; yet we can now see the reason for it. But judging it right at this crisis to claim the privilege of a Roman citizen, he appealed to the emperor (Ac 25:11). Such an appeal could not be disregarded, and Paul was at once sent on to Rome under the charge of one Julius, a centurion of the "Augustan cohort." After a long and perilous voyage, he at length reached the imperial city in the early spring, probably, of A.D. 61. Here he was permitted to occupy his own hired house, under constant military custody. This privilege was accorded to him, no doubt, because he was a Roman citizen, and as such could not be put into prison without a trial. The soldiers who kept guard over Paul were of course changed at frequent intervals, and thus he had the opportunity of preaching the gospel to many of them during these "two whole years," and with the blessed result of spreading among the imperial guards, and even in Caesar's household, an interest in the truth (Php 1:13). His rooms were resorted to by many anxious inquirers, both Jews and Gentiles (Ac 28:23,30-31), and thus his imprisonment "turned rather to the furtherance of the gospel," and his "hired house" became the centre of a gracious influence which spread over the whole city. During this period the apostle wrote his epistles to the Colossians, Ephesians, Philippians, and to Philemon, and probably also to the Hebrews. This first imprisonment came at length to a close, Once more he set out on his missionary labours, probably visiting western and eastern Europe and Asia Minor. During this period of freedom he wrote his First Epistle to Timothy and his Epistle to Titus. The year of his release was signalized by the burning of Rome, which Nero saw fit to attribute to the Christians. A fierce persecution now broke out against the Christians. During this imprisonment he probably wrote the Second Epistle to Timothy, the last he ever wrote. The trial ended: Paul was condemned, and delivered over to the executioner. He was led out of the city, with a crowd of the lowest rabble at his heels. The fatal spot was reached; he knelt beside the block; the headsman's axe gleamed in the sun and fell; and the head of the apostle of the world rolled down in the dust" (probably A.D. 66), four years before the fall of Jerusalem. |

If I understand you correctly you are looking for the reference in the bible the participation of Christ in creation. Ge 1:26 ¶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. and God said let us create man in our image and likeness" Christ is present there in that creation. God created all things thrugh Christ all things made possible through Him. Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: I hope it would helps God bless, Johnny |
