121 | The Gospel the sole means of salvation? | Rom 1:16 | meusing | 39372 | ||
That is Paul's question : Now how can they call on one in whom they have never believed? How can they believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how can they hear unless someone proclaims Him? It is up to us to be faithful to Christ in proclaiming the Good News. |

122 | The Gospel the sole means of salvation? | Rom 1:16 | meusing | 39367 | ||
In your reply to Searcher, you quoted the reference he gave you in answer. The Gospel is the message of the means, NOT the means. Here is Rom. 10:8-17 in modern English : 8 No, the word is very near you, ON YOUR OWN LIPS and in YOUR HEART! It is this word, which is the burden of our preaching, and it says, in effect, "If you openly admit by your own lips that Jesus is the LORD, and if you believe in YOUR HEART that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." For it is believing IN THE HEART that makes a man righteous before God, and it is stating his belief by his own lips that confirms his salvation. And the scripture says: "Hos-soever believes in him shall not be disapointed." And that "whosoever' means anyone, without disinction between Jew or Greek. For all have the same LORD, whose boundless resources are sufficient for all who turn to him in faith. For: Whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved. Now how can they call on one in whom they have never believed? How can they believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how can they hear unless someone proclaims Him? and Who will go to tell them unless he is sent? as the scripure puts it : How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things! Yet not all have responded to the gospel. Isaiah asks, you remember, LORD, who hath believed our report? FAITH, YOU SEE, CAN ONLY COME FROM HEARING THE MESSAGE, AND THE MESSAGE IS THE WORD OF GOD. Philips p.328,329 |

123 | The Gospel the sole means of salvation? | Rom 1:16 | meusing | 39350 | ||
C. H. Spurgeon when He saw the Alps wrote Yet in all these how great soe'er they be, We see not Him. The glass is all too dense And dark, or else our earthborn eyes too dim. Yon Alps, that lift their heads above the clouds And hold familiar converse with the stars, Are dust, at which the balance trembleth not, Compared with His divine immensity. The snow crowned summits fail to set Him forth, Who dwelleth in Eternity, and bears Alone, the name of High and Lofty One. Depths unfathomed are too shallow to express The wisdom and the knowledge of the Lord. The mirror of the creatures has no space To bear the image of the Infinite. It is true the Lord hath fairly writ his name, And set his seal upon creation's brow. But as the skilful potter much excels The vessel which he fashions on the wheel, E'en so, but in proportion greater far, Jehovah's self transcends his noblest works. Earth's ponderous wheels would break, her axles snap, If freighted with the load of Deity. Space is too narrow for the Eternal's rest, And time too short a footstool for his throne. Even avalanche and thunder lack a voice, To utter the full volume of his praise. How then can I declare him? Where are words With which my glowing tongue may speak his name? Silent I bow, and humbly I adore. Treasury of David p.89 |

124 | The Gospel the sole means of salvation? | Rom 1:16 | meusing | 39346 | ||
My answer is that the Gospel is the Good News OF the means that God has taken for our salvaion: the incarnation, death and resurrection of Jesus. | ||||||
125 | The Gospel the sole means of salvation? | Rom 1:16 | meusing | 39306 | ||
The Gospel is the good news OF salvation. It is based on historical Facts 1. Christ died for our sins 2. Christ was buried 3. Christ rose from the dead 1 Cor. 15:1-5 if these three facts are not true, we have no gospel. (Barnhouse) The Source of the Gospel is God. (Heb 1.1) there can be no Gospel, not even a Gospel of God, apart from that which concerns His Son, the LORD Jesus Christ. Calvin in his comentary on Rom 1:3 said "This is a remarkable passage, by which we are taught that the whole gospel is included in Christ, so that if any removes one step from Christ, he withdraws himself from the gospel. For since he is the living and express image of the Father, it is no wonder, that he alone is set before us as one to whom our whole faith is to be directed and in whom it is to center. " |

126 | Does God punisg women for divorce? | Num 5:31 | meusing | 39191 | ||
I was responding to the question as to whether "God won't punish men for their wrongdoings of any kind? He will only punish women? " which seems to be in the present tense. I was showing we all deserve punishment, men and women. I was just sowing that Jesus took the punishment that we (men and women both) deserve on Himself. You are right, the context is about a woman caught in adultary and a jealous husband. Throughout the prophets the LORD uses the type of the unfaithful wife (Israel and Judah) and the jealous husband (the LORD) to show cause for punishment and also mercy (Hosea). But, I was responding to the ' God won't punish men, he will only punish women ' question. |

127 | is God and Jesus are one person? | Heb 1:8 | meusing | 39124 | ||
Please read the verses that I quoted Jesus is equal to the Father, He voluntalily took on the form of a servant. that is what submission is. Please read this verse. Phil 2:6 Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained, 7 But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being. 8 And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross! John 1:1 clearly said He (the Word) IS God. Phil 2:6,7 say that He is equal with the Father yet he submitted Himself. That is what the verses say. so, for the third time : Jesus is God the Son, not God the Father. they are equal yet separate persons - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The Bible says they are equal John 5:23 So that all men may give honor (reverence, homage) to the Son just as they give honor to the Father. [In fact] whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, Who has sent Him. |

"...The grave of Jesus forms the grand terminus of all. But the resurrection takes us beyond this terminus, and constitutes the imperishable basis on which God's glory and man's blessing repose forever. The moment the eye of faith rests on a risen Christ, there is a truimphant answer to every question as to sin, judgement, death, and the grave. The One who diviely met all these is alive from the dead, and has taken His seat at the right hand of the Majesty in the heavens" "God the Father, drew the plan, God the Son laid the foundation, and God the Holy Ghost raises the superstructure; and on this superstructure appears the inscription, "through grace, by faith without works of law."

I agree. I was just replying to a question that demaded that we worship on the seventh day and no other and was antaganistic to any who worshiped on the first day of the week. He called it a day of sun worship. I say it is a day of SON worship. I was just comenting that is our priviledge to assemble on the first day. |

130 | Where is the phrase defined? | NT general Archive 1 | meusing | 38790 | ||
APOLLUMI only signifies 'destroy utterly' when used in the ACTIVE VOICE. It is not used so in this verse but in the MIDDLE VOICE which always in Scripture refers to the loss of eternal life. See John 3:16 shows the same contrast between to perish verses to have eternal life. see also John 10:28 |

There is no mention of sentence. As A. T. Robertson said "Note play on apwleto, perished (second aorist middle indicative of apollumi). It means the son marked by final loss, not annihilation, but meeting one's destiny (Acts 2:25)" and he should know what he is talking about. in Matthew 7:13 Jesus said "for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction[perdition], and many are those who are entering through it." I also found this : "The word rendered "perdition" in many translations is a noun made from the same stem as the verb translated 'was lost' in TEV and most other translations. This word isfrequently used in the New Testament of the final fate of those who are without God (Matt 7.13; Acts 8.20; Rom 9.22' Phil 1.28; 3.19; 2 Peter 2.1; 3.7; Rev 17.8,11). the phase "son of (literally 'man of') perdition" means "one who is going to be lost (eternally)." the same expression appears in 2 Thessalonians 2.3 and is rendered 'The...One...who is destined to hell in TEV. In English the form'lost' fits very well into this type of context, but in other languages a literal rendering may be misleading, since it might suggest that in some way or other Jesus had lost sight of Judas. A more appropriate equivalent in some languages is 'has gone astray' or has suffered ruin.' accordingly, the phrase 'the man who was bound to be lost' may be rendered 'the man who would certainly go astray' or 'the man for whom there was nothing else but to suffer ruin.'" A Translator's Handbook on the Gospel of John by Barclay M. Newman and Eugene Nida United Bible Societies page 537 There is nothing here about judgement, but destination. Without Christ we are all destined to perdition. |

Love Foundation, you asked "Please share with me who else the son of perdition could refer to, since you say there are a great many individuals who this could refer to? This is new to me, I have only seen one being sentenced(judged), to eternally perish within the whole context of Scripture, please show me who else is judged to eternal spiritual death besides satan,within Scripture. " let us look at the verses in which the greek word that is translated as 'perdition' is used. Mt 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: destruction is the same word translated as perdition many there be which go there Joh 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. Ro 9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: Php 1:28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. Php 3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) destruction is the same word translated as perdition (of many) 2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 1Ti 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. Heb 10:39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. 2Pe 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2Pe 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 2Pe 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. damnation is the same word translated as perdition 2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 2Pe 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Re 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. Re 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. |

I do not read Greek or Aramaic. W. E. Vine was a brother in Christ who did and brought together the meanings of the Greek words so that we who speak English can better understand what the Bible is speaking about. A. T. Robertson, another brother in Christ who does understand Greek wrote ... But the son of perdition (ei mh o uioß thß apwleiaß). The very phrase for antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:3). Note play on apwleto, perished (second aorist middle indicative of apollumi). It means the son marked by final loss, not annihilation, but meeting one's destiny (Acts 2:25). A sad and terrible exception (Mark 14:21). so both see perdition as speaking of the destiny of the one spoken about. let us make sure that is not our destiny John 20:31 Amplified But these are written (recorded) in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of God, and that through believing and cleaving to and trusting and relying upon Him you may have life through (in) His name [through Who He is]. [Ps. 2:7, 12.] |

I like the devotional that C. H. Mackintosh gives in his Notes of the Pentateuch about the sons of the day and the sons of night . . . p.18 "And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night." Here we have the two great symbols so largely employed throughout the Word. The presence of light makes the day; the absence thereof makes the night. Thus it is in the history of souls. There are "the sons of light" and "the sons of darkness." This is a most marked and solemm distinction. All upon whom the light of Life has shone—all who have been effectually visited by "the dayspring from on high"--all who have received the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ all such, whoever and wherever they may be, belong to the first class, are "the sons of light, and the sons of the day." [p.19] On the other hand, all who are still in nature's darkness, nature's blindness, nature's unbelief all who have not yet received into their hearts, by faith, the cheering beams of the Sun of Righteousness,—all such are still wrapped in the shades of spiritual night, are "the sons of darkness," "the sons of the night." Reader, pause and ask yourself, in the presence of the Searcher of hearts, to which of these two classes do you, at this moment, belong. That you belong to either the one or the other is beyond all question. You may be poor, despised, unlettered; but if, through grace, there is a link connecting you with the Son of God—"the light of the world," then you are, in very deed, a son of the day, and destined, ere long, to shine in that celestial sphere, that region of glory, of which "the slain Lamb" will be the central sun forever This is not your own doing. It is the result of the counsel and operation of God Himsclf, who has given you light and life, joy and peace, in Jesus and His accomplished sacrifice. But if you are a total stranger to the hallowed action and influence of divine light, if your eyes have not been opened to behold any beauty in the Son of God, then, though you had all the learning of a Newton, though you were enriched with all the treasures of human philosophy, though you had drunk in with avidity all the streams of human science, though your name were adorned with all the learned titles which the schools and universities of this world could bestow, yet are you 'a son of the night," "a son of darkness"; and, if you die in your present condition, you will be involved in the blackness and horror of an eternal night. Do not, therefore, read another page until you have fully satisfied yourself as to whether you belong to the "day" or the "night." (Notes on the Pentateuch) p.18,19 |

It is interesting that W. E. Vine sees the phrase "sons of perdition" as : (b) of persons, signifying their spiritual and eternal perdition, Mat 7:13; John 17:12; 2Th 2:3, where "son of perdition" signifies the proper destiny of the person mentioned; metaphorically of men persistent in evil, Rom 9:22, where "fitted" is in the Middle Voice, indicating that the vessels of wrath fitted themselves for "destruction;" of the adversaries of the Lord's people, Phl 1:28 ("perdition"); of professing Christians, really enemies of the cross of Christ, Phl 3:19 (RV, "perdition"); of those who are subjects of foolish and hurtful lusts, 1Ti 6:9 'An Expository dictionary of New Testament Words' pages 303,304 |

137 | is God and Jesus are one person? | Heb 1:8 | meusing | 38603 | ||
I thought when I said "I think you are confusing the Father with Jesus" you would understand that I WAS answering your question by clearing up a misunderstanding. you asked " Why He keep looking up to heaven? if there is no someone there, and they are the same person.? Can you explain why Jesus keep looking up to heaven when He prays to His Father if He Himself is the Father?" My answer is "I think you are confusing the Father with Jesus" ie Jesus is God the Son, not God the Father. So your 'proof' that they are two different persons is also dealt with and your question "Who is the person that speak that from heaven if it is Jesus Christ also the father? is that verse a drama?" is also deat with by my statement "I think you are confusing The Father with Jesus. The Father is God and Jesus is God as well." John 14:28 and John 13:16 are answered by the verses I gave you John 1:1-3 and Phil. 2:6-8. I am sorry that you did not bother to look them up for they explain that Jesus "6 Who, although being essentially one with God, and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be grasped or retained; 7 But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity] so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being. 8 And after He had appeared in the human form He abased and humbled Himself [sill further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of deat, even the death of the cross! See, that anwers your question about Jesus being a servant, He was because He chose to become so. Your next questions are also answered by those verses. I did not ignore the verses you quoted, The passages in John and Philippians explain them. John 1:1 IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. [Isa. 9:6.] Phil 2:6 Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained, Phil 2:7 But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being. |

I think you are confusing The Father with Jesus. The Father is God and Jesus is God as well. John 1:1-3 and Phil. 2:6-9 Jesus is Immanuel - God with us He was willing to al aside His glory and make Himself a servant to God the Father. remember that Heb 1:3 says " He is the sole expression of the glory of God -- the Light-being, the out-raying of the divine -- and He is the perfect imprint and very image of (God's) nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high. Amplified |

Sorry, that is Heb 5:7-9 Heb 5:7 In the days of His flesh [Jesus] offered up definite, special petitions [for that which He not only wanted but needed] and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him Who was [always] able to save Him [out] from death, and He was heard because of His reverence toward God [His godly fear, His piety, in that He shrank from the horrors of separation from the bright presence of the Father]. 8 Although He was a Son, He learned [active, special] obedience through what He suffered 9 And, [His completed experience] making Him perfectly [equipped], He became the Author and Source of eternal salvation to all those who give heed and obey Him, [Isa. 45:17.] Amplified |

Jesus created our flesh and became flesh (John 1:14) but He was without sin He was Man and God, Immanuel. so much man that he was so tired that he slept through a raging storm, yet so much God that He calmed that storm with a word.
