121 | Who are "the elect"? | Gal 3:29 | ebrain | 182632 | ||
In my considered opinion the expression "the elect", refers to both Jews, and Gentiles, I don't see how anyone reading the whole of the Bible could possibly come to any other conclusion. Try a word search, and see if it helps, | ||||||

I think I would be correct in saying that Paul's words here are not addressed to the Jews only. Rom 8:33 Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. |

126 | who is the prince? | John 14:30 | ebrain | 182519 | ||
I believe the expression, "for the ruler of the world is coming", is refereed to at, Luk 22:3 Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve. Satan using the body of Judas was about to set in motion the death of Jesus, but Jesus said at, Jhn 10:17 "Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. Jhn 10:18 "No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father." I hope this is of help. |

The only verse I know that refers to Gentiles is John 10:16, as for Ruth, I do not think there are any. Jhn 10:16 "And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. |

Hi Monica. What follows may seem unthinking, and hurt full, but I assure you, that this is not my intention, I would be failing in my duty as a Christian if I did not draw your attention to the serious implications of what you have done. You said "I know they did something illegal," which must now read, "I know that I did something illegal". This being the case, and if you have not so far done so, you must first be reconciled with the Authorities, in respect of your illegal activity, tell them just what you have done, and be prepared to accept the consequences. This is one understanding I have of the following verses. Mat 5:23 "Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, Mat 5:24 "leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. I believe that Divine forgiveness is dependant on this being done first. Now regarding guidance, assurance, and the "voice within". The following verses will I am sure be of help here. Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; Pro 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct* your paths. Pro 3:7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil. Pro 3:8 It will be health to your flesh,* And strength* to your bones. Jhn 7:16 Jesus* answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. Jhn 7:17 "If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority. It is important that you do not use the NIV Bible translation of Jhn 7:17, as it renders "he shall find out", and not "he shall know", which is the correct translation. The content of Jesus's message is not revealed here, but only how it is possible for anyone listening to a message to know for certain that it is from God, and not from man, how this is done is shown to us at, Luk 24:32 And they said to one another, "Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?"

130 | Good point | Matt 19:5 | ebrain | 182273 | ||
Hi rodent tamer, or may I call you monica? I must confess I suspected as much when I read your two posts, however, let me put your mind at rest by answering the extract from your post bellow. "Are you saying that all those believers out there who have disobediently married unbelievers aren't really married in the sight of God?" Yes, I do not believe that they are married in the sight of God for the following reason. Jesus when commenting on Genesis Ch 2 v 24, said at, Mat 19:6 "So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate." Note, "what God has joined together". My understanding of these words is that just as God made Eve specially for Adam, God also selects the woman He wants for the man at the present time, as He did in the past see Gen Ch 24, A Bride for Isaac. I believe it is now, and has always been, God's intention, "that this man here shall marry that woman there", He the Lord makes sure that their paths cross just when He wants them to. My God whom I love, is able to do this, I pray, my sister in the Lord that you are, or will be of the same opinion. As far as I can see you are from the Divine point of view free to marry, but please make sure that it is the one that God wants you to become one flesh with, then you will not only be married in accordance with human law, but in addition, you both will be, "what God has joined together". May the Lord bless you abundantly, and keep you safe. Edwin |

132 | Is marrying for citizenship real? | Matt 19:5 | ebrain | 182131 | ||
The important part of your question is given bellow, "are they really married in the eyes of God? Did they really get married? They have since divorced after the citizenship was attained. One of the parties is a christian and is very concerned about this. She did it only to help the other person get their citizenship papers, but never meant it in her heart." You say "One of the parties is a Christian", are we to conclude that the other party is not? if so then please consider the Scripture verses bellow 2Cr 6:14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 2Cr 6:15 And what accord has Christ with Belial Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? Note, "what part has a believer with an unbeliever?" Mat 19:6 "So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate." If the other party is not a believer, then how can you possibly expect God to join together those who have clearly disobeyad His instructions? |

Hi shirlrogers. Start with verse 10, where Paul says "as it is written", this indicates that he is going to quote existing Scripture, in fact he has in mind, Psalm 14, and Psalm 53, if you will read both of these, you will see that the persons refereed to are in fact the enemies of Israel, and not the whole of mankind. Every blessing. ebrain. |

134 | Please tell me what this verse means. | Matt 23:38 | ebrain | 182021 | ||
Hi sunam, and welcome to this forum. The house to which Jesus refers is in fact the Temple, as is made clear in the next two verses, it had been the house of God, but He had departed long since, which is why Jesus calls it "your house", and not the house of God, see also Luke Ch 19 vs 41-44, where Jesus describes just how the temple will be destroyed, become "desolate", as in fact it was in 70 AD. May the Lord bless you. ebrain. |

The Biblical, or prophetic year had twelve months each of thirty days, a total of 360 days in all. See Revelation Chapters 12, and 13, where a period of three and a half years is given in three different ways firstly at Ch 12 v 6 as 1260 days, at Ch 12 v 14 as "a time, and times, and half a time.", and at Ch 13 v 5 as "forty-two months". Confirmation of this seems to be given in Genesis at Ch 7 v 11, where we are told, "in the second month, on the seventeenth day", and in Ch 8 vs 3-4, where reference is made to the seventeenth day of the seventh month, and also of 150 days, for a period of five months, I hope that this is of some help to you. ebrain. |

138 | Whats is God's Name? | Ps 83:18 | ebrain | 181944 | ||
Further to my last post The Lord our God does not have a name in the sense that we have names, in order to identify/distinguish ourselves from one another. There is only one God, and for this reason no need for Him to have a name, as there is no other god with whom He might be confused. What is given in Scripture is a number of different descriptions of, His Nature, His ability, His capacity, etc, etc, What type/sort of Person He is. At Gen Ch 3 v 13. Moses said If they ask me "What is His name" what shall I say to them? The reply he received was not a name but a description. "I AM" which can also be rendered as "The perpetually self revealing all existent one". One more example, take the description EL SHADDAI, God Almighty, or "God All Sufficient", which is found 48 times in the OT. This is a compound title, made up of ELOHIM meaning the strong one who gives strength/nourishment, and the Hebrew word Shad which refers to the Female Breast. What the Lord is saying here is "I love you with the very special tender loving care that a nursing mother feels for the infant that she is breast feeding". May the Lord bless you, and keep you safe. Edwin. (ebrain) |

Hi Hank. Thank you for your seasonal greetings, and the black-eyed peas information, we do not as far as I am aware have a similar tradition here in the UK but thanks again for the insight. The word "tone" refers to the way, the manner, in which an article is written, and therefore the impression it gives to the reader regarding the underlying motive of the writer. Now in respect of my post, you will have noted that my opening words were, "I could be wrong of course", and later on in the same paragraph I said, " is this in fact the case", thus allowing for my interpretation to be incorrect. I wonder, are we two Nations divided by a common language? You will also have noted that in my third paragraph, I asked a question, for which you have not so far given me the benefit of your advice? Every blessing brother to you, your wife, and family. Edwin and Hazel Brain. |
