121 | "word" or "Word" | Bible general Archive 3 | New Creature | 166072 | ||
Let me try this. Why is it that some translations say "word" and others say "Word" (1 Pet. 1:23 AMP) You have been regenerated - born again - not from a mortal origin (seed, sperm) but from one that is immortal by the ever living and lasting Word of God. (1 Pet 1:23 LITV) being regenerated, not by corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the living Word of God, and remaining forever. |

123 | "word" or "Word" | Bible general Archive 3 | New Creature | 165995 | ||
Ok But lets say we changed John 1:1 around, to instead read; In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. Does that make a difference? We know why in John 1:1 it's "Word" instead of "word" right? "Word" refers to a person, rather than the written word does it not? Now it's the same thing in 1 Pet. 1:23 Most versions read: having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. Other translations use the captialization "Word" being regenerated, not by corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the living Word of God, and remaining forever. Can we draw a conclusion which translation is correct? |

124 | "word" or "Word" | Not Specified | New Creature | 165980 | ||
1 Peter 1:23 since you have been born again--not of perishable seed but of imperishable--through the living and enduring word of God. I have noticed that the word "word" as is found in the above verse is capitalized to read "Word" in a few translations. Among translations that have "Word" rather than "word," are The Amplified Version, Kenneth Wuest Translation, and several other translations. Which would be correct? "word" or "Word" and does it make a difference in our understanding of this verse? Can anyone help? |

Doc; Concerning the statement you made in which you wrote: "God blots out His people's sins, but not their names." How do you reconcile that with the following Scripture? Exo 32:33 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. Deut 9:13 Furthermore Jehovah spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: Deut 9:14 let me alone, that I may destroy them, and BLOT OUT THEIR NAME from under heaven; and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they. Deut. 29:20 JEHOVAH WILL BLOT OUT HIS NAME from under heaven. Isn't the promise of not being blotted out given to those who overcome? Rev 3:5 He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

131 | Why do we make it so complicated? | NT general Archive 1 | New Creature | 164490 | ||
Allow me to paint a senario A man repents and exercises faith in Christ Jesus, and immediately phones the local church, and informs the minister, that he desires to become baptized. The minister says: We are having a baptismal service this evening at 6:30 PM. If you come over this evening, we will baptize you. So this man gets dressed, and heads over to the church to be on time for the service. On his way, he gets in an automobile accident and is killed. You say, oh oh, he left out part of the salvation equation. The question is: Since he never got baptized, will he be sent off to eternal condemnation? NC |

133 | SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH | Acts 17:26 | New Creature | 164329 | ||
Robert I believe God in His omniscience knows every decision and choice we will make in advance. However if God schedules our daily events, that would mean that each time we sin, God scheduled that as well. Since I sin, then I am not living, or possibly could be living in any schedule in my life drawn up by God. God desires that I not sin. If He scheduled sin in my life, then wouldn't that also mean He is the author of sin by such scheduling of events? Blessings NC |

Robert; I believe the answer to your question might be contained in the following text. Pay special attention to verse 26. Act 17:24 The God that made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Act 17:25 neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; Act 17:26 and he made of one every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation; Let me include a different translation of verse 26 below. "And He made from one blood every nation of human beings to be living on all the face of the earth, having designated times having been appointed [for them] and the boundaries of their habitation, Does that help at all?

135 | Is there a prophet named Sidian? | Luke 2:25 | New Creature | 163929 | ||
I think you may be referring to Simeon. See below. It was revealed to him that he would not die until he had seen the Christ. Luke 2:25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him. Luke 2:26 And it had been revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. Luke 2:27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do concerning him after the custom of the law, Luke 2:28 then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said, Luke 2:29 Now lettest thou thy servant depart, Lord, According to thy word, in peace; Luke 2:30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Luke 2:31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples; Luke 2:32 A light for revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of thy people Israel. Luke 2:33 And his father and his mother were marvelling at the things which were spoken concerning him; Luke 2:34 and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against; Luke 2:35 yea and a sword shall pierce through thine own soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed. |

139 | What does Heb. 10.26 mean? | Heb 10:26 | New Creature | 156885 | ||
Heb 10:26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth - If after we are converted and become true Christians we should apostatize, it would be impossible to be recovered again, for there would be no other sacrifice for sin; no way by which we could be saved. This passage, however, like Heb. 6:4-6, has given rise to much difference of opinion. But that the above is the correct interpretation, seems evident to me from the following considerations: 1. It is the natural and obvious interpretation, such as would occur probably to ninety-nine readers in a hundred, if there were no theory to support, and no fear that it would conflict with some other doctrine. 2. it accords with the scope of the Epistle, which is, to keep those whom the apostle addressed from returning again to the Jewish religion, under the trials to which they were subjected. 3. it is in accordance with the fair meaning of the language - the words “after that we have received the knowledge of the truth,” referring more naturally to true conversion than to any other state of mind. 4. the sentiment would not be correct if it referred to any but real Christians. It would not be true that one who had been somewhat enlightened, and who then sinned “wilfully,” must look on fearfully to the judgment without a possibility of being saved. There are multitudes of cases where such persons are saved. They “wilfully” resist the Holy Spirit; they strive against him; they for a long time refuse to yield, but they are brought again to reflection, and are led to give their hearts to God. 5. it is true, and always will be true, that if a sincere Christian should apostatize he could never be converted again; see the notes on Heb. 6:4-6. The reasons are obvious. He would have tried the only plan of salvation, and it would have failed. He would have embraced the Saviour, and there would not have been efficacy enough in his blood to keep him, and there would be no more powerful Saviour and no more efficacious blood of atonement. He would have renounced the Holy Spirit, and would have shown that his influences were not effectual to keep him, and there would be no other agent of greater power to renew and save him after he had apostatized. For these reasons it seems clear to me that this passage refers to true Christians, and that the doctrine here taught is, that if such an one should apostatize, he must look forward only to the terrors of the judgment, and to final condemnation. Whether this in fact ever occurs, is quite another question. In regard to that inquiry, see the notes on Heb. 6:4-6. If this view be correct, we may add, that the passage should not be regarded as applying to what is commonly known as the “sin against the Holy Spirit,” or “the unpardonable sin.” The word rendered “wilfully” - occurs nowhere else in the New Testament, except in 1 Pet. 5:2, where it is rendered “willingly” - “taking the oversight thereof (of the church) not by constraint, but willingly.” It properly means, “willingly, voluntarily, of our own accord,” and applies to cases where no constraint is used. It is not to be construed here strictly, or metaphysically, for all sin is voluntary, or is committed willingly, but must refer to a deliberate act, where a man means to abandon his religion, and to turn away from God. If it were to be taken with metaphysical exactness, it would demonstrate that every Christian who ever does anything wrong, no matter how small, would be lost. But this cannot, from the nature of the case, be the meaning. The apostle well knew that Christians do commit such sins (see the notes on Rom. 7), and his object here is not to set forth the danger of such sins, but to guard Christians against apostasy from their religion. In the Jewish Law, as is indeed the case everywhere, a distinction is made between sins of oversight, inadvertence, or ignorance, (Lev. 4:2, Lev. 4:13, Lev 4:22, Lev 4:27; Lev 5:15; Num 15:24, Num 15:27-29; compare Act 3:17; Act 17:30), and sins of presumption; sins that are deliberately and intentionally committed; see Exo 21:14; Num 15:30; Deu 17:12; Psa 19:13. The apostle here has reference, evidently, to such a distinction, and means to speak of a decided and deliberate purpose to break away from the restraints and obligations of the Christian religion. There remaineth no more sacrifice for sins - Should a man do this, there is no sacrifice for sins which could save him. He would have rejected deliberately the only atonement made for sin, and there will be no other made. It is as if a man should reject the only medicine that could heal him, or push away the only boat that could save him when shipwrecked; see notes, Heb 6:6. The sacrifice made for sin by the Redeemer is never to be repeated, and if that is deliberately rejected, the soul must be lost. (Barnes Commentary) |

I believe the verse your looking for is as follows. There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it. 1 Cor 10:13 |
