Hi Ray, Long time no talk. 1Co 2:10 (NASB) "For to us(redeemed) God revealed them (the things listed in verse 9, unheard of things, unseen things, unheart entered things, all that God has prepared) through the Spirit(1); for the Spirit(2) searches all things, even the depths of God. The - "for the Spirit(2) searches all things, even the depths of God." - is a phrase, so Spirit(1) and Spirit(2) are both related to the God that revealed them. Therefore both Divine. All parentheses are mine. what do you think? terrib |

123 | entry to Jerus-cleansingTemple,execution | Deut 12:11 | terrib | 146917 | ||
Greetings swaimj, Coming to Jerusalem: The place where the temple was built. This was built in accordance with the promise and command of God, and one and only place to offer and sacrifice. (Deu 12:11 "Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:"). Jesus being The Sacrifice. Cleansing of the Temple: Our Lord is represented here as purifying his temple; and this we may judge he did in reference to his true temple, the Church, to show that nothing that was worldly or unholy should have any place among his followers, or in that heart in which he should condescend to dwell. 1Jo 2:16 "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." Execution - Sacrifice: The Holy Temple - what a fitting sight to have the Lamb of All Sacrifies submit Himself for slaughter, as decreed by the Old Testament. Mat 23:37 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee,..." Act 3:18 "But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled." Thank you Jesus, terrib |

125 | Before Jesus death | Bible general Archive 2 | terrib | 146912 | ||
Dear Liveright, We need to read the referenced Scriptures supplied by our brother in post 146891 and possibly clarify to see if they say in context what the Scriptures are actually stating. ref: 632 - "proclaiming the Good News to the spirits imprisoned there.[cf 1Peter 3:18-19]". This Scripture has been wrested to suit a purpose. - It has to do with those that were in the pre-flood era. Because the rest of the thought in this Scripture is in the next verse, (1Pet 3:20), that either by convienence to sway opinion or by oversite, has been left out, which is, "Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water." This is talking about the souls that Noah preached to while he was building the ark. And this has been upheld by the some of the most learned of theologians of our times. (Clarke, Barnes, Henry, Gill, Wesley, Augustine). Space here does not permit to detail all their treatises. But there are some modern preachers that don't agree with these tested men. ref: 633 - "because those who are there are deprived of the vision of God.[cf Phil 2:10;Acts 2:24; Rev 1:18; Eph 4:9; Pss 6:8; 88:11-13]" Phi 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; - nothing to do with 'deprived of the vision of God'. Act 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. - nothing to do with 'deprived of the vision of God'. Rev 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. - nothing to do with 'deprived of the vision of God'. Eph 4:9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? - nothing to do with 'deprived of the vision of God'. Psa 6:8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. - nothing to do with 'deprived of the vision of God'. Psa 88:11-13 "Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee." - nothing to do with 'deprived of the vision of God'. ref: 633 - Pss 88:49 does not exist.(should be 89:49) 1Sam 29 :19 does not exist.(should be 28:19) Eze 32:17-32 has to do with Egypt and her wicked. Luke 16:22 "was carried by the angels" - The Jews held the opinion that the spirits of the righteous were conveyed by angels to heaven at their death. Our Saviour speaks in accordance with this opinion; and as he expressly affirms the fact. And angels are ministering spirits sent forth to minister to those who are heirs of salvation (Heb 1:14), and there is no more improbability in the supposition that they attend departing spirits to heaven, than that they attend them while on earth. ref: 634 - 1Peter 4:6 - The sense is as representing the true attitude of the Church in every age, expecting Christ at any moment, says, The Judge is ready to judge the quick and dead - the dead, I say, for they, too, in their lifetime, have had the Gospel preached to them, that so they might be judged at last in the same way as those living now (and those who shall be so when Christ shall come), namely, “men in the flesh,” and that they might, having escaped condemnation by embracing the Gospel so preached, live unto God in the spirit. For Peter is plainly referring only to those within reach of the Gospel, or who might have known God through His ministers in Old and New Testament times. ref: 635 - This is true taken in the correct context. The referenced [487] is a little reaching and is actualy [488] Ancient Homily for Holy Saturday: PG 43, 440A, 452C; LH, Holy Saturday, OR. As Jesus said in John 19:30, "It is finished", the work of man's redemption and salvation is now completed, a full satisfaction is made to the justice of God, a fatal blow given to the power of Satan, a fountain of grace opened that shall flow forever, a foundation of peace and happiness laid that shall never fail. He has executed the great designs of the Almighty - He has satisfied the demands of His justice - He has accomplished all that was written in the prophets, and suffered the utmost malice of His enemies; and now the way to the Holy of Holies is made manifest through His blood. A glorious finish. Amen. - Oh, wait I have to preach to the dead yet. I don't think so.

126 | Who was the other Mary? | Matt 27:61 | terrib | 146859 | ||
Greetings odiear3rd, (Mat 27:61 KJV) And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. "and the other Mary" - The mother of James and Joses, (see Mat 27:56). (Mat 27:56 KJV) Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children. see also John 19:25 (Joh 19:25 KJV) Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. Some of the Marys in the Gospels are sometimes a little confusing. Below is one commentary: "Joh 19:25 - Mary the wife of Cleophas - She is said, in Mat 27:56 ... and Mar 15:40, to have been the mother of James the Less, and of Joses; and this James her son is said, in Mat 10:3, to have been the son of Alpheus; hence it seems that Alpheus and Cleopas were the same person. To which may be added, that Hegesippus is quoted by Eusebius, Hist. Eccl. l. iii. c. 11, as saying that Cleopas was the brother of Joseph, the husband of the virgin. Theophylact says that Cleopas, (brother of Joseph, the husband of the virgin), having died childless, his brother Joseph married his widow, by whom he had four sons, called by the evangelists the brothers of our Lord, and two daughters, the one named Salome, the other Mary, the daughter of Cleopas, because she was his daughter according to law, though she was the daughter of Joseph according to nature. There are several conjectures equally well founded with this last to be met with in the ancient commentators; but, in many cases, it is very difficult to distinguish the different Marys mentioned by the evangelists." - Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hope this helps terrib |

127 | how can u believe in god? | Ps 135:6 | terrib | 146809 | ||
Welcome kpizzle14, Thank you for asking this question. Why do you think you happened to come to this forum? Did you decide this on your own or somewhere inside you, you are looking for some answers? I think you came for answers. Answers to something or someone calling you. I see God's hand in this so that you can understand and see what He wants to give you and help you understand. If you eat bad meat and get sick, is it God's fault? If you murder someone and go to the gallos, is it God's fault? If a nation through its greed causes its people to suffer, is it God's fault? The decisions of people are at fault, not God. If you eat the bad meat don't you have to suffer the consequences? If you kill someone, don't you have to suffer the consequences? This is what God is showing you, calling you, trying to get your attention, so He can show you why these things happen. That is why you have come here. To get some answers. Remember when your Mom or Dad said not to do something and you did it anyway? Yes, and you got in trouble for doing it, didn't you? Well, the same thing has happened to the world. When God created the world He put on it a perfect place called Eden. In it He put two people called Adam and Eve. Okay, you heard all this before, but the answers you are seeking all start from that perfect place. Remember, "Don't touch that honey, it's hot". Yes, well you got a blister didn't you, because you just had to touch it. And you did it because you could. You were free to act on your own. You were free to choose. You could either believe what was said was for your own good or you could suffer the consequnces, just like the bad meat. So it was with Adam and Eve. God told them that if they ate of a particular fruit it would be bad for them. But, they had to eat it. Just like you got the blister. Well, this choice that they made was more involved than just a blister. They were innocent and walked with God in the garden and had peace with Him and talked with Him. They were buddies! But something happens to a companionship when one of the parties betrays the trust of the other. And since God created them and now they knew that what they had done was against His wishes they hid from Him. They created a rift between them and God. Their inner being had been changed because of the knowing that they had gone against their friend. Their spirits had become separated. They now knew the difference between right and wrong. They had sinned against their one true companion their one true love. And because of that sin, even their offspring would inherit that seperation of spirit also. And so on down the line until today. We all have sinned just by inheritance and we all have lost that fellowship that once stood. So man has gone on during the ages and has done his own thing. And still, just like the bad meat, has had to suffer the consequences. Sickness, murder, war. God's doing or ours? There can only be one answer. We did it. You can't pass the buck on this one. But...but, there is a way out of all this turmoil. And if God was as unloving as you say, He would never have offered such a gift to this people, that have done nothing but create situations that put so much turmoil in the world.

134 | Where do we draw the line? | Matt 22:37 | terrib | 146575 | ||
brazo, I perceive by your words a great desire for truth and a life dedicated to our Lord. Bless you! I see that by the length of time this question has been up for answering you have struck a nerve in most of the forum. Indeed, where is that line that keeps us on the right path? It would be nice to have this formula but since we are all individuals one formula may not work for everybody. As I sit here I too have trouble finding words to comfort you. Although my heart desires to do my very best. And not being in your presence I can not give you a brotherly huge, but hopefully the words you read are of some comfort to you. I offer the words of our Savior: Mat 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. Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Mat 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. And I would specifically pray for wisdom to discern some of the paths that you face. The Lord God will not withhold it from you. Some verses on wisdom: (KJV) (2Co 1:12) For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. (Eph 1:8) Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; (Eph 1:17) That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: (Eph 3:10) To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, (Col 1:9) For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; (Col 1:28) Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: (Col 2:3) In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (Col 2:23) Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. (Col 3:16) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (Col 4:5) Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. (Jam 1:5) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (Jam 3:13) Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. (Jam 3:17) But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. (2Pe 3:15) And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; Read also Proverbs chapter 8. brazos, I do hope that these passages give you comfort. I think it is time for my closet, thank you for asking this question. terrib |

136 | WHAT IS THE FISRT LIGHT? GENESIS 1:3 | Gen 1:3 | terrib | 146546 | ||
Taken from John Gill's Commentary: Gen 1:3 - 'And God said, let there be light, and there was light: it at once appeared; "God commanded light to shine out of darkness"; as the apostle says, 2Cor 4:6 this was the first thing made out of the dark chaos; as in the new creation, or work of grace in the heart, light is the first thing produced there: what this light was is not easy to say. Some of the Jewish Rabbins, and also some Christian writers, think the angels are designed by it, which is not at all probable, as the ends and use of this light show: others of them are of opinion, that it is the same with the sun, of which a repetition is made on the fourth day, because of its use and efficacy to the earth, and its plants; but others more rightly take it to be different from the sun, and a more glimmering light, which afterwards was gathered into and perfected in the body of the sun (f). It is the opinion of Zanchius (g), and which is approved of by our countryman, Mr. Fuller (h), that it was a lucid body, or a small lucid cloud, which by its circular motion from east to west made day and night (i); perhaps somewhat like the cloudy pillar of fire that guided the Israelites in the wilderness, and had no doubt heat as well as light; and which two indeed, more or less, go together; and of such fiery particles this body may well be thought to consist. The word "Ur" signifies both fire and light. Ref: (f) Vid. Menasseh ben Israel conciliator in Gen. qu. 2. (g) De Operibus Dei, par. 3. l. 1. c. 2. col. 239. and l. 2. c. 1. (h) Miscell. Sacr. l. 1. c. 12. (i) Milton seems to be of the same mind:----- -----and forthwith light. Ethereal, first of things, quintessence pure, Sprung from the deep, and from her native east To journey thro' the airy gloom began, Sphered in a radiant cloud, for yet the sun Was not; she in a cloudy tabernacle Sojourned the while.----- Paradise Lost, B. 7. l. 243, c.' -end of Gill's commentary-- Also, in verse 5, "and there was evening and there was morning, one day." This is the first occurrence of this as well should be, and note that it does not say a definitive 'and THE evening and THE morning'. And because of the use of 'dividing the light from darkness' would perhaps be the beginning of the rotation of the masses of "the deep". Although much is said about this and the Scriptures are a little vague, look at the context of these events. The basic context is about the creation of the universe. If we spiritualize too much of this we must conclude, by the context, that in God also dwells darkness and that is a contradiction. (1Jo 1:5 KJV) "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." In reference to all these things it may help to read the whole of Proverbs Chap. 8 which talks about wisdom. Then in verse 27, "...when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:", (compass - made a circle). As in Isa. 40:22, ..."He that sitteth upon the circle of the earth..." There is no contension about this subject, for as EdB stated, "we don't begin to understand how God does things". These are commentaries on the verse in question and I hope that this forum has given you some things to consider. terrib |

Hello edgar.s, Your question is a little vague, but maybe the verses below can answer some of your question. Exo 22:10 If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it: Exo 22:11 Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good. Exo 22:12 And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof. Exo 22:13 If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn. Exo 22:14 And if a man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good. Exo 22:15 But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire. Even as today, if we keep something for someone and it gets damaged or lost and you have not kept a moral effort to make sure the item is safe, then you are responsible for the injured or lost item. We call it a bailment. You are and will be required to make the owner whole. In Christ, terrib |

Hello Mommapbs, I know by your past posts that you do not believe that "we will all become gods". But, we are promised that in Him we share in His glory. Please reference the following Scriptures: All are in the present tense! (Eph 2:6) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: (2Pe 1:3) According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: (2Pe 1:4) Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. We are partakers of the "divine nature", and since Christ is the righteousness of God then we also are the righteous of God through Christ. terrib |

140 | how far is a sabbath days journey | Acts 1:12 | terrib | 120080 | ||
Hello rbzkan, A sabbath-day’s journey : As far as might be lawfully traveled by a Jew on the Sabbath. This was 2,000 paces or cubits, or seven furlongs and a half - not quite one mile. The distance of a lawful journey on the Sabbath was not fixed by the laws of Moses, but the Jewish teachers had fixed it at 2,000 paces. This measure was determined on because it was a tradition that in the camp of the Israelites, when coming from Egypt, no part of the camp was more than 2000 paces from the tabernacle, and over this space, therefore, they were permitted to travel for worship. Perhaps, also, some countenance was given to this from the fact that this was the extent of the suburbs of the Levitical cities, (See Num_35:5). From Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible. terrib |
