"That the Christian now inherits the distinctive Jewish promises is not taught in Scripture." ____________________ First, Jacob is not a tribe. Jacob is the father of the twelve tribes of Israel. Jacob is not a tribe. His sons' tribes make up the NATION of Israel. EdB is quite right when he says, "As Christians we do not displace or replace the Jews." "That Israel has not been forever set aside is the theme of this chapter (Romans 11). "(1) The salvation of Paul proves that there is still a remnant (Romans 11:1 ) "(2) The doctrine of the remnant proves it (Romans 11:2-6). "(3) The present national unbelief was foreseen (Romans 11:7-10). "(4) Israel's unbelief is the Gentile opportunity (Romans 11:11-25). "(5) Israel is judicially broken off from the good olive tree, Christ (Romans 11:17-22 ). "(6) They are to be grafted in again (Romans 11:23,24). "(7) The promised Deliverer will come out of Zion and the nation will be saved (Romans 11:25-29). That the Christian now inherits the distinctive Jewish promises is not taught in Scripture. The Christian is of the heavenly seed of Abraham (Genesis 15:5,6; Galatians 3:29) and partakes of the spiritual blessings of the Abrahamic Covenant." "But Israel as a nation always has it own place and is yet to have its greatest exaltation as the earthly people of God." (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/ScofieldReferenceNotes/) |

122 | Searching for the truth | 1 Thess 4:17 | Radioman2 | 89541 | ||
And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, (NASB Hebrews 9:27) If one means to interpret Heb 9:27, as many honest and sincere folks do, to mean that every individual must die once and only once, this is easily refuted by our general knowledge of the Bible together with common sense. In his Study Bible, John MacArthur comments on Heb 9:27: '*to die once*. This is a general rule for all mankind. There have been very rare EXCEPTIONS (e.g., Lazarus and the multitude who were resuscitated at Christ's resurrection died twice; compare John 11:43,44; Matt 27:51-53). Those, like Lazarus, who were raised from the dead by a miraculous act of our Lord were not resurrected to a glorified body and unending life. They only experienced resuscitation. 'Another exception will be those who don't die even once, but who will be "caught up...to meet the Lord in the air" (1 Thess 4:17; compare Enoch, Gen. 5:24; Elijah, 2 Kin. 2:11).' (Emphasis added.) |

NASB 1 John 3:4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. AMPLIFIED 1 John 3:4 Everyone who commits (practices) sin is guilty of lawlessness; for [that is what] sin is, lawlessness (the breaking, violating of God's law by transgression or neglect--being unrestrained and unregulated by His commands and His will). KING JAMES VERSION 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. "SIN is the transgression of the LAW" (emphasis added). In the Teachings of Moses the Law is very specific about which sexual acts or relations are prohibited. There are a number of specific prohibitions regulating sex. There are 613 specific laws in the Teachings of Moses. Please tell us which of the 613 specifically prohibits oral sex between a married couple. I neither defend nor attack the practice of oral sex. That is not the point. And often general Bible principles help us to determine what words, thoughts and deeds are sinful. I merely ask: Where in the Bible (book, chapter, verse) is oral sex PLAINLY prohibited? In another thread, one poster cites Leviticus 18:23 and 7:21 as proof that oral sex is "wrong." There is not a single word in Leviticus 18:23 or 7:21 that even mentions oral sex. The same poster writes: "It is unclean." Again, the Teachings (Law) of Moses specify what acts or things are unclean. It does not mention oral sex as being unclean. |

126 | Arethere women prophets today? | Luke 2:36 | Radioman2 | 89308 | ||
There are places (plural) where the Bible mentions women (plural) as preachers (plural). The word prophetess is mentioned a total of 8 times in the entire Bible. If you look up the references, you will see in most cases that not only is the word prophetess mentioned, but also the name of the prophetess is given. Bear in mind that "to prophesy" means "to preach (tell forth)" as well as "to tell the future (forth-tell)". The references to prophetesses are as follows: Exod 15:20; Judges 4:4; 2Kings 22:14; 2Chr 34:22; Neh 6:14; Isa 8:3; Luke 2:36; Rev 2:20 In short, yes there is more than one woman preacher (prophet) in the Bible. |

1. Please give us the chapter and verse in Revelation where it plainly speaks about the resurrection of souls. I am familiar with the resurrection of the body, but not with the concept of resurrection of souls. 2. If the Bible does teach a doctrine, then it is not merely a "belief;" it is truth and stands on its own, independent of who does or does not believe it. |

"WHO TEMPTED SATAN?" NIV James 1:13-14 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. |

132 | Did God create evil? | Is 45:7 | Radioman2 | 88707 | ||
If God is sovereign, does that make Him responsible for evil? "No. Scripture says that when God finished His creation, He saw everything and declared it "very good" (Genesis 1:31). Many Scriptures affirm that God is not the author of evil: "God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone" (James 1:13). "God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5). "God is not the author of confusion" (1 Corinthians 14:33)--and if that is true, He cannot in any way be the author of evil. "Occasionally someone will quote Isaiah 45:7 (KJV) and claim it proves God made evil as a part of His creation: "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things" (emphasis added). "But the New American Standard Bible gives the sense of Isaiah 45:6-7 more clearly: "There is no one besides Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other, the One forming light and creating darkness, causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the Lord who does all these." In other words, God devises calamity as a judgment for the wicked. But in no sense is He the author of evil. "Evil originates not from God but from the fallen creature. I agree with John Calvin, who wrote, "'. . . the Lord had declared that "everything that he had made . . . was exceedingly good" [Gen. 1:31]. Whence, then comes this wickedness to man, that he should fall away from his God? Lest we should think it comes from creation, God had put His stamp of approval on what had come forth from himself. By his own evil intention, then, man corrupted the pure nature he had received from the Lord; and by his fall drew all his posterity with him into destruction. Accordingly, we should contemplate the evident cause of condemnation in the corrupt nature of humanity--which is closer to us--rather than seek a hidden and utterly incomprehensible cause in God's predestination. [Institutes, 3:23:8]' "It is helpful, I think, to understand that sin is not itself a thing created. Sin is neither substance, being, spirit, nor matter. So it is technically not proper to think of sin as something that was created. Sin is simply a want of moral perfection in a fallen creature. Fallen creatures themselves bear full responsibility for their sin. And all evil in the universe emanates from the sins of fallen creatures. "For example, Romans 5:12 says that death entered the world because of sin. Death, pain, disease, stress, exhaustion, calamity, and all the bad things that happen came as a result of the entrance of sin into the universe (see Genesis 3:14-24). All those evil effects of sin continue to work in the world and will be with us as long as sin is. "First Corinthians 10:13 promises us that God will not permit a greater trial than we can bear. And James 1:13 tells us that God will not tempt us with evil. "God is certainly sovereign over evil. There's a sense in which it is proper even to say that evil is part of His eternal decree. He planned for it. It did not take Him by surprise. It is not an interruption of His eternal plan. He declared the end from the beginning, and He is still working all things for His good pleasure (Isaiah 46:9-10). "But God's role with regard to evil is never as its author. He simply permits evil agents to work, then overrules evil for His own wise and holy ends. Ultimately He is able to make all things--including all the fruits of all the evil of all time--work together for a greater good (Romans 8:28)" (www.gty.org). ____________________ For further study: Jay Adams, The Grand Demonstration (Santa Barbara CA: Eastgate,1991).

133 | need info on the book of life | Rev 3:5 | Radioman2 | 88698 | ||
He who overcomes shall thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life. Revelation 3:5 "It is unfortunate that this passage in Revelation has become a focal point of controversy. The result has been a fixation on what the verse does not say rather than what it does say. This verse was never intended as a warning. Within its context there is nothing negative or foreboding about these words. In fact, it makes a strong statement in favor of eternal security. It is a passage of encouragement and praise. "The comments are directed to a group of faithful believers from the church in Sardis. Unlike the majority of the folks in their congregation, this handful of members had remained unsoiled by the world around them. The verse in question contains Christ's commendation to this group for their consistent walk. "To assume from what is said here that God will possibly erase names from the book of life is to read into the text a concept clearly not present. At best, it is an argument from silence, for the verse simply reads, "And I will not erase his name from the book of life." If this statement raises doubts for some about eternal security, they would do well to search the Scriptures for an answer. But to base one's answer to this important question on this verse is to adopt a method of study with the potential of leading to all kinds of problematic conclusions." (...) "The good news is, God's pencil has no eraser. Before you breathed your first word, God knew how you would respond to His offer of grace. According to His foreknowledge, He wrote your name in the book of life. And there it shall remain forever. Jesus said it this way: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. John 10.27-28 "And as if that were not clear enough: "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. John 10.29 " (To read the entire article, which I suggest you do before you post questions, go to: http://www.intouch.org/myintouch/exploring/bible_says/eternal_security/erase_149096.html) |

134 | need info on the book of life | Rev 3:5 | Radioman2 | 88693 | ||
Does God Have an Eraser? Rev. 3:4-5 How can I be certain God won't erase my name from the book of life? 'We will begin . . . by looking first at what the New Testament has to say concerning the book of life. (...) 'First Printing 'The apostle John refers to the "book of life" five other times in Revelation. From two of these passages it becomes evident that he certainly did not believe names could be erased: 'And all who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been WRITTEN FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain. Revelation 13:8, emphasis added. 'And those who dwell on the earth will wonder, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. Revelation 17:8, emphasis added. 'In these passages John informs us about the time when the book of life was filled out. This information comes as a surprise. Without it, our assumption would be that when men or women put their trust in Christ, their names were added at that moment. But that is not the case at all. The book of life has been complete since the foundation of the world. 'By "world," John does not mean "earth." In both passages "earth" and "world" appear. These are from two different Greek words. The one translated "earth" means just that--this ball of dirt upon which we live. The Greek word translated "world" is kosmos from which we get our English word cosmos. 'John is using "world" here to refer to the entire universe (see John 1:3; Acts 17:24). In light of the scientific limitations of John's day, it could very well be a reference to all created things. Either way, his point is the same: THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS FILLED OUT BEFORE THE FIRST ENTRY WAS EVER BORN. 'If that is the case, God's foreknowledge had a great deal to do with who was written in and who was not. In anticipation of Christ's death on man's behalf, God wrote the names of those He knew from eternity past would accept His gracious offer. The apostle Paul had this same idea in mind when he wrote, 'Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. (Ephesians 1:4) 'God wrote before we did anything. He filled out the book of life in anticipation of what He knew we would do. Therefore, He did not write in response to what we ACTUALLY did; rather, He wrote in response to what He KNEW we would actually do. 'This distinction is very important. For if God put names in the book as history unfolded--as we actually believed ---it could be argued that He erases them as history unfolds as well. But if God entered names according to His foreknowledge, it follows that He would erase them according to His foreknowledge, which makes no sense at all. If God wrote and erased according to foreknowledge, both His writing and His erasing would be complete before the world began. In that case, no one needs to live with the fear that his or her name will be erased from the book of life sometime in the future. But if that is the case, Revelation 3:5 is no longer a problem. 'Missing Persons 'There is a second reason these passages eliminate the possibility of names being erased. Both passages indicate that the lost people in these verses had never had their names written in the book of life. John does not say these names were simply not in the book at that time. He says, "Everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world." 'Who is he talking about here? "All who dwell on the earth." In other words, no lost persons alive at that time had ever had their names in the book of life. Of course, they had never had their names erased from the book, either. 'The only way around this problem for those who hold to the ERASABLE NAME VIEW is to maintain that all the unsaved people who had their names erased were already dead by this time in history. That is certainly possible, but it is highly unlikely. It is especially unlikely in light of the intense persecution those who name the name of Christ will be facing during this time (see Revelation 13:7).' ---------- Eternal Security: Can You Be Sure? by Dr. Charles Stanley (http://www.intouch.org/myintouch/exploring/bible_says/eternal_security/erase_149096.html) |

135 | Did Lot have any sons? | Gen 19:12 | Radioman2 | 88671 | ||
Genesis 19:12 (ESV) Then the men said to Lot, "Have you anyone else here? Sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or anyone you have in the city, bring them out of the place. Genesis 19:14 (ESV) So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, "Up! Get out of this place, for the Lord is about to destroy the city." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting. Genesis 19:36-38 (ESV) Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father. [37] The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day. [38] The younger also bore a son and called his name Ben-ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites to this day. "Did Lot have any sons?" Apparently not -- at least not that we can ascertain by reading Genesis chapter 19. |

Thomas8: Welcome to the Forum! I offer the following guidelines in the hope that you will find them useful. Radioman2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - Many, if not most, of the questions posted here could be answered by the questioner himself/herself, using the following principles: 1) Use a concordance to look it up in the Bible. 2) Read your Bible. 3) Be willing to obey every teaching you find; it is God speaking to you. 4) Use an English dictionary. 5) Use a Bible dictionary. 6) By all means, look up the center column (cross) references in your Bible. 7) Remember that: We must compare Scripture with Scripture in order to understand its full and proper sense. And SINCE THE BIBLE DOESN'T CONTRADICT ITSELF, ANY INTERPRETATION OF A SPECIFIC PASSAGE THAT CONTRADICTS THE GENERAL TEACHING OF THE BIBLE IS TO BE REJECTED. (Note: in the preceding sentence, it is the contradictory INTERPRETATION that is to be rejected, not the passage itself.) 8) Respect the silence of the Bible regarding any question on which the Bible is silent. In other words, avoid speculation. 9) Christ has given to the church pastors and teachers. One need not re-invent the wheel. Instead, consult translations, commentaries and God-given pastors and teachers. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Recommended Bible Study Tools Online: http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/ http://bible.crosswalk.com/Concordances/ http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/BakersEvangelicalDictionary/ http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/EastonsBibleDictionary/ http://bible1.crosswalk.com/Encyclopedias/CondensedBiblicalCyclopedia/ http://bible.crosswalk.com/Lexicons/ |

For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? [8] If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. [9] Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?
