121 | Joe, | Luke 23:43 | retxar | 64276 | ||
Ed, What about the teaching that Jesus, not wanting to be detained by Mary Magdalene (John 20:17), was on His way to present the blood sacrifice to the Father in heaven? If this be true, it would have occurred outside the 3 days. But as you have said, the blood presented upon the altar in heaven would have logically occurred before the captives were set free, so that would mean it would have occurred outside the 3 days also. Also, did Jesus not also preach to the wicked over on the "hot side" of Hades (1Pe 3:19)? thanks, retxar |

122 | Do you pay tithes on whole check or part | Acts 15:1 | retxar | 64211 | ||
2Co 8:12 says we are to give according to what we have, and not according to what we do not have. I would say your tithe based on your take home pay (what you have) is perfectly acceptable. Giving should be regular, proportional, planned (1Cor 16:2) and also private, freely given, and generous (2Cor 9:5-7), prepared ahead of time before you get to church (2Cor 9:5) to avoid giving out of manipulation or guilt with an attitude as unto the Lord. David Guzik has a good article on giving that you might want to check out at calvarychapel.com/simivalley/giving.htm God loves a cheerful giver! retxar |

123 | Why didn't God make people to love him? | Genesis | retxar | 64046 | ||
You're not wrong here my friend. Thank you for reminding me how much my sin hurts God. Your brief words here have really spoken to me bro. Thanks! retxar P.S. Don't worry about having to wait to get to heaven to get corrected for being wrong. We have plenty of correctors around here to insure that ain't go'na happen! |

124 | Why didn't God make people to love him? | Genesis | retxar | 64045 | ||
God did not make us love Him for the same reason we are glad our families love us, but it would mean nothing if we had to force them to do it. Many people have tried to force someone to love them, but relationships like that will never work, whether relationships with each other or our relationship to God. retxar |

Jesus’ And The Extent Of The Old Testament A statement by Jesus seemingly gives His belief in the extent of the Old Testament. Therefore I send you prophets, sages, and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town, so that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. Truly I tell you, all this will come upon this generation (Matthew 23:34-36). He mentions Abel and Zechariah as the first and last murder messengers of God that were murdered. Abel’s murder is mentioned in Genesis while Zechariah’s was in 2 Chronicles – the last Old Testament book in the Hebrew canonical order. The fact that these two are specifically mentioned is particularly significant. There other murders of God’s messengers recorded in the Apocrypha. Jesus does not mention them. This strongly suggests He did not consider the books of the Apocrypha as part of Old Testament Scripture as with the books from Genesis to 2 Chronicles. There Was More Testimony From Jesus Jesus gave further testimony of the extent of the Old Testament canon in the day of His resurrection. He said. How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! . . . And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself (Luke 24:25,27). Note Jesus’ emphasis on “all that the prophets had spoken.” Later He explained the extent of “all that the prophets had said.” He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms” (Luke 24:44). This is a reference to the threefold division of the Hebrew Scripture. They constitute “all that the prophets said.” There is no reference to the Apocrypha. It would not have been part of the threefold division of the Old Testament. Complete article at http://www.blueletterbible.org/faq/nbi/395.html retxar |

God actually did reject the Aprocypha as being uninspired. The Jews had already rejected the Aprocypha as uninspired before the birth of Jesus. Jesus never spoke of the Jews as being in error concerning its rejection. retxar |

127 | why do the NASB and KJV differ | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 62198 | ||
Almost all NASB and the KJV (also NKJV) differences occur in the NT. This is because, as Ed has pointed out, of the differences in the manuscripts they were translated from. Usually the differences are that the KJV has a longer verse ending here and there. Most here would say that this is a result of scrible additions in the manuscripts that the KJV was translated from. Some would say (as I would say) that the differences occur from scrible omissions in the manuscripts that the NASB is translated from. While the differences are slight, there are places where I, personally, have to make a decision of which Bible is God’s WORD, as He only wrote one Bible. I have posted before (post ID# 6847) as to why my conclusion goes against the norm here on the NASB forum (that’s OK, they love me anyway!). I usually go with the KJV and the NKJV when verses are called into question when compared to a different reading in the NASB. I have also discovered, since that post, that the early church fathers quotes will almost always quote the longer KJV verses, rather than the shorter NASB verses. This has strengthened my conclusion as being correct. The web site www.dtl.org is a good source of information that reflects my bible translation views (I take exception to some of the other views expressed there tho). The amazing thing to me is not the few differences in the thousands of thousands of manuscripts found in all parts of the world, but their supernatural agreement that prove that God has preserved His WORD thru His divine providence! retxar |

128 | God is in control of every single atom? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 62042 | ||
OK, maybe partaking of the Holy Spirit does not have to mean the same as the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, as you say. I believe God can, and does, use the peace and joy unbelievers enjoy when they fellowship with Christians to draw them to Himself. However, this principle is a major stretch to apply to what Heb6 is talking about. Heb6 is speaking of true believers (whether hypothetical or actual). Otherwise how could a non-believer be renewed AGAIN unto repentance if no repentance has ever occurred? retxar |

Read and study Hebrews 1 and you will find many, many, examples of why Jesus is no angel. This false teaching was created by the J.Witness as a insult to the deity of Jesus Christ. Jesus is Lord! retxar |

131 | How can anyone be saved? | 1 Cor 2:14 | retxar | 61208 | ||
Well that does not really answer my question (why people God want's saved do not always get saved), but that's OK, this is a tired debate. retxar |

132 | How can anyone be saved? | 1 Cor 2:14 | retxar | 61147 | ||
Yes we agree, but how do you deal with the fact that the young mans decision went against what Jesus wanted him to do? (receive salvation and follow Him) | ||||||
133 | How can anyone be saved? | 1 Cor 2:14 | retxar | 61108 | ||
John, I agree totally with your conclusion of why this nice young man, who Jesus felt a special affection for, decided to, in the end, reject Jesus. It was, as you said, "He loved his wealth more than he loved Jesus". It was not that Jesus did not give him what he needed to believe. I also see, and you do too, that Jesus desired very much that this young man answer the call to salvation He had given him, and that Jesus was very sad when he decided, instead, to walk away. This young man was in the same boat as the ones Stephan spoke to before the Sanhedrin (Act 7:51). It was not that Jesus did not give him a genuine call to salvation. It was that he willfuly resisted and rejected God's call to salvation. retxar |

134 | How can anyone be saved? | 1 Cor 2:14 | retxar | 61067 | ||
Jesus gave a genuine offer of salvation to the rich young ruler (Mark 10:21), but him actually receiving it depended on the condition of his positive response to the gospel. Jesus provided forgiveness, and God really actually forgave those who crucified Him (Luke 23:34), but them actually receiving the gift of forgiveness, along with the gift of salvation, depended on the condition of their positive response to the gospel. Jesus made it clear to Nicodemus (John 3) that the plan of salvation He had laid out to him was dependent on the condition of his positive response to the gospel. Steven made it clear to the Sanhedrin that their rejection of the gospel was because they resisted the Holy Spirit (Act 7:51), not that He would not give them the faith to believe. “Whosoever believes in Him should not perish” Or was that “Whosoever should not perish believes in Him?” retxar |

Before Pentecost the Holy Spirit was given to only selected individuals in a pick and choose fashion as God saw fit to accomplish His plan and purpose. Now the Holy Spirit would be available to be poured out on "all flesh" that believed. retxar |

137 | Who wrote Hebrews? | Luke 15:24 | retxar | 61008 | ||
Some good thoughts here Permican! I was curios tho. You seem very confident that these words are written by Paul here in Hebrews. Most Bible scholars these days think that Hebrews was not written by Paul. I myself lean toward Paul, for as good a reason as any, because my Bible says “The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Hebrews”! I am not overly concerned, because I believe it is Gods WORD whoever wrote it, but would like to hear any thoughts on why you think Paul is the author? Thanks, retxar |

138 | Consuming alcoholic beverages: ok or not | Deut 14:26 | retxar | 60881 | ||
I’m not sure what Deuteronomy 14:26 sounds like to you, but in context, it says nothing and concludes nothing as far as the consumption of alcohol in the day in which we live. Consumption of alcohol was always forbidden for kings, priest, and prophets (Pro 31:4, Isa28:7-8). Since we have been made kings and priest by Jesus Himself (1Pe 2:9, Rev 1:6), I would say that alcohol consumption is always forbidden for us also, and that your church is teaching the WORD. Isa 28:7 But they also have erred through wine, And through intoxicating drink are out of the way; The priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink, They are swallowed up by wine, They are out of the way through intoxicating drink; They err in vision, they stumble in judgment. retxar |

139 | Any thought?? | Ex 10:20 | retxar | 60844 | ||
In Exo 5:2 we see that Pharaoh hardened his own heart prior to the time that God "hardened" his heart. It’s not like Pharoah did anything against his own will. This is much like what is explained in Rom 1 where it is said that God sometimes allows people to continue in their rebellion against Him. God allowed Pharaoh's rebellion against Him to work for His glory. Deu 7:8 says that God delivered the Israelites from Pharoah's bondage with a "mighty hand" instead of a gentle hand, as would have occurred if Pharaoh had shown favor to the Israelites. Other scripture says God chose the take them out with a mighty hand instead of a gentle hand so that His signs and wonders would be increased in Egypt, that Pharoah and his army would know that the God of Israel was the true and mighty God, and that God would be glorified. retxar |

140 | Can i be forgiven for fallen from grace? | Rev 2:5 | retxar | 59759 | ||
Rev 2:5 is a warning to the Ephesians church (also us). It is not a sentence, but a warning. The Ephesians church had made a concise choice to leave the first love they had originally had for Jesus. Notice the WORD says they LEFT their first love, not LOST it. Jesus also gives them instructions on how to regain it. Jesus warns that their “lampstand will be removed” if they continue in the way they are going. This means they are in danger of losing their influence and the light of His presence, not their salvation. This is the same application as Jesus used in Mat 5:13-16 when He spoke of us being salt and light and His warning that salt that has lost its flavor (influence) is good for nothing. The application for us today? Doctrinally pure: yes. Unloving: no. retxar P.S. Here is a quote from Charles Spurgeon that might help: “The Ephesians church was a doctrinally pure church. Sometimes a focus on doctrinal purity will make a congregation cold, suspicious, and intolerant of diversity. "When love dies orthodox doctrine becomes a corpse, a powerless formalism. Adhesion to the truth sours into bigotry when the sweetness and light of love to Jesus depart." |
