1241 | searching for the truth | 1 Cor 11:3 | mark d seyler | 125746 | ||
Do you think Eph 4:7-14 have a bearing on whether the gifts of the Spirit are for today? "But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore He says: "When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men." (Now this, "He ascended" --what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.) And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting". If I read this right, does it mean that the gifts God has given us will be there for us to minister to each other, until we have been perfected in Christ, either by completing our work in this world, or by Jesus returning for us? What do you think? Mark |

1242 | Bible's view on suicide? | Matt 27:5 | mark d seyler | 125612 | ||
I believe that Justme has hit the nail on the head. We are either saved by grace or saved by works. Is one sin worse than another? Certainly God wants us to live in victory but we don't always do that. Do I walk outside of God's will if I suicide? Absolutely! Do I walk outside of God's will if I lie? Absolutely! "The branch in me that does not bear fruit the Father takes away" John 15. Suicide is part of a fruitless life, as other kinds of fruit-less-ness. I tried to commit suicide many times when I was in my teens. I was manic and depressive, until one day when my body chemistry corrected and that all went away. They were very dark days, Jesus treated me with love, even miraculously preserving my life. Nothing shall separate us from the love of God! | ||||||
1243 | short and long version of Mark 16:8 | Mark 16:9 | mark d seyler | 125522 | ||
Hi EdB, In Mark's gospel, it does not specify who they actually reported Jesus' resurrection to. Could it have been other disciples than the eleven? The two that Jesus met on the road were not of the eleven, since in Luke 24:33 they found the 11. |

1244 | What is your take on Westcott and Hort? | Bible general Archive 2 | mark d seyler | 124438 | ||
If you can receive this, I am an openhearted Christian who loves the Word and loves truth. I do not insist, or even believe, that the KJV is the only or the best. It's an excellent translation, but it's not the original autographs. I use every resource I can get my hands on to find out as best I can what God really said. And I have a serious issue with someone who, while they are engaged in occultic pursuits, sets out to tell the rest of us what should and should not be in the Bible. Isn't the occult something that we turn our backs to when we are born again? So how can I trust those who do not? (this is my personal issue) Is it really in keeping with the mission and purpose of this forum to engage in name calling "nothing is more offensive than a ignorant Christian who refuses to see and believe the TRUTH", "those who choose to remain ignorant", this judges my heart which you do not see, as well as going on to presume I am insistant on the KJV, which I am not. I understand that you phrased your harsh words in ways that you may disclaim your intent, but the attitude is easily seen. I have looked at some of Dr. White's material, he appears to be refuting a particular booklet, while not addressing my concerns. Perhaps he covers that in parts I have not read, it seems to me that he perpetuates the debate over particular translational points on statements made by a certain other person. Love in Christ, Mark |

1245 | What is your take on Westcott and Hort? | Bible general Archive 2 | mark d seyler | 124419 | ||
Hi Tim, I believe God protects His message. To any who are looking, God will teach in spite of how men may have re-interpreted His Word. Like our Lord said, "My word will accomplish the purpose I sent it for". Chuck Missler likes to compare the Bible to a holograph - if you remove part, you don't lose image, but you do lose resolution. The best any of us can do is to open our hearts to the Lord, be diligent to study His Word however He leads us, and trust in His Holy Spirit to teach us. Love in Christ, Mark | ||||||

Hi EdB, Thank you for your information. Personally I use every translation (except, of course the "new world" re-write) to gain any information I can add to my own studies in the greek (again, any I can get my hands on). I was not aware the lessor significance of Westcott-Hort in the current tranlsation work. God Bless!! -Mark |

1250 | I Tim 2:12 Paul's opinion or God's Word? | 1 Tim 2:12 | mark d seyler | 123389 | ||
In I Cor 4:16 Paul tells us to be imitators of him. To Timothy he says he does not allow women to hold authority over men. Do you follow the teachings of Paul? | ||||||
1251 | What is "First Fruits Rapture? | 1 Thessalonians | mark d seyler | 123278 | ||
The First Fruits Rapture may refer to Rev. 14, as the 144,000 meet Jesus on Mount Zion, then it says "they sang a new song before the throne". The 144,000 were refered to as the First Fruits in 14:4. The timing of this would seem to be the midpoint of the tribulation. I can show that if anyone wants. One moment they are on earth, the next before the throne in heaven. This would be a "rapture" type event, as the 144,000 are removed from the earth, and could be what someone refered to as a "first fruits rapture". | ||||||
