142 | No reprobates in the Bible? | Matt 12:31 | humbledbyhisgrace | 186820 | ||
Greetings AF! Not sure how you would define a reprobate but looking at the way Webster's defines it and the Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary defines it... REPROBATE KJV term used in two senses: that which fails to meet a test and is thus rejected as unworthy or unacceptable, as impure silver (Jer. 6:30) or persons (2 Cor. 13:5-7; Titus 1:16); and that which is depraved or without morals (Rom. 1:28; 2 Tim. 3:8). NASB and RSV used “reprobate” to mean “one rejected by God” (Ps. 15:4; cp. HCSB, REB, TEV). —Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary REPROBATE n. A morally unprincipled person. One who is predestined to damnation. adj. Morally unprincipled; shameless. Rejected by God and without hope of salvation. tr.v. rep·ro·bat·ed, rep·ro·bat·ing, rep·ro·bates To disapprove of; condemn. To abandon to eternal damnation. Used of God. --dictionary.com It would appear the reprobates you have in mind in the bible had never received salvation. Or do you have a different understanding of reprobate? Hope this helps! By Faith, Steve |

143 | profaning the name of the Lord | Matt 12:36 | humbledbyhisgrace | 200432 | ||
Greetings Linda and welcome to the Study Bible Forum, Perhaps you could ask your co-worker to show you from scripture how you are completely wrong. Also you might want to share with him scripture which speaks to God's holiness (Exodus 15:11, Isaiah 57:15, Leviticus 11:44-45, Leviticus 19:2, Isaiah 6:3, Psalms 22:3, Psalms 99:9, Psalms 99:3, Psalms 99:5, Leviticus 20:26) etc... And perhaps point out to him what God expects of His people in regards to holiness (Hebrews 12:14, Hebrews 12:10, 2 Corinthians 6:14-16, 2 Corinthians 7:1, Romans 12:1, Ephesians 2:21, Ephesians 5:26-27) etc... I would reject any advice that teaches you that sharing "scripture will most likely not have the desired effect" or "if your coworker is not saved, then quoting scripture will most likely do very little to change their thoughts on this matter" or any teaching at all that holds the word of God of little value. These type of teachings should be avoided and unacceptable to a Christian. Contrast such teachings with what God says of His word ( Hebrews 4:12, Isaiah 55:11, John 17:17, Romans 10:17). Cling to His word as you are doing. This not only keeps you from error, but what you share with others is God's truth and not mankind's opinion. I pray God will bless you my sister as you continue to witness of Him to your co-workers. Be bold and always be mindful it is for His glory! Steve |

144 | AUTHORITY, ORGINISATION | Matt 16:15 | humbledbyhisgrace | 155037 | ||
If find your statement "OH ! By the way, because some children find it a waist of time to find the TRUTH, THEY DON´T !!" rather interesting. Brother, if the truth is not in you know one can or will take your seriously. I'm assuming you are referring to my statement in post ID# 155007 when I said "I personally think its a waist of time looking to the denominations for truth". If I am incorrect in my assumption of your reference please forgive me and I will humbly accept your redirection. But for now, I will continue with my thoughts on your statement based on what I believe you to be referring to in my statement mentioned above. What I find so interesting about your statement in your post is how you took it out of context, changed the wording and most importantly, refuse to see that the truth is in God's word and not the denomination. Let me add the portion of my post here so others can see the statement in context. Post ID# 155007 humbledbyhisgrace "I personally think its a waist of time looking to the denominations for truth. It's in Christ alone that we should stand. It's in Christ alone that we have any hope at all of finding the truth. This is not to say that the doctrines of the individual denominations are not important, but they must align with the scriptures to be counted as truth. Stand on the word of God because we know it to be the truth, stand on denominational doctrine and you risk missing the truth." Brother, you can't find the truth by hiding it either. I can only pray that your heart is in the right place in your seeking the truth. There is much that can be discerned from your post. Your original post revealed much about you and so does your continued post on this subject. You ask and then answered your own question. "WHO IS MY ? It´s JESUS CHRIST !!!!!!! but you didn't have anymore to say about this. First of all, it goes without saying who He is. Let me ask you a question so I can be sure I am not misunderstanding your intentions. The fact that you are willing to hide the truth concerns me so I can't be sure how to take your statements. In your first post on this subject you said "Iam NOT shouting when I use capitals, just emphasizing the IMPORTANCE" Okay, so from this statement we can assume all you have capitalized is things your are trying to point out to us as important. In your first post you said "So, WHICH CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST was JESUS referring to to Peter ?" and in this post you say "By the way, because some children find it a waist of time to find the TRUTH, THEY DON´T !! WHO IS MY ? It´s JESUS CHRIST !!!!!!!". You conveniently took my statement about wasting time out of context which I can't help but think means you disagree with me on looking to God's word for the truth instead of the denomination. It also appears to me you continue to highlight the title Church of Jesus Christ or Jesus Christ when you are referring to His church. My question is, do you believe in these scriptures that there is some hidden denominational title? Are you trying to tell us that the denomination that has taken on the title Church of Jesus Christ is somehow the church that Jesus was referring to in scripture? Please help me with these questions. I too am seeking the truth and If I am misunderstanding you please let me know. |

145 | REVELATION ! | Matt 16:15 | humbledbyhisgrace | 155156 | ||
For those of you that don't know, his question has been addressed multiple times by multiple people on this forum. He refuses to discuss it, only to push a twisted view of God's word. He claims to be seeking the truth yet his record speaks to his willingness to hide the truth and not only manipulate another mans words, but most importantly, the word of God. Reference post: ID# 155031 series and ID# 154985 series and his current post. Let's put an end to this song and dance you play and you tell us obi, what is the church the scriptures are talking about? Tell us what divine revelation you and Joey have had that reveals the denominational title you are so eager to here someone say. Let all see your words plainly so the truth of your intent is revealed. I have another question. Why would God hide His word in the backwoods of New York for so many years and not reveal it to man until 1823? Hummm.....??????? And don't tell me it's because the Holy Spirit forgot a few things and needed to clear a few things up He wasn't clear on before. Your going to have to do much better then that. I suggest you turn the page of your bible and read a different scripture. It's obvious at this time you are not able to understand the one you continue to reference and manipulate. |

146 | how did peter know moses at the transfig | Matt 17:3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 202055 | ||
Greetings iitb, I'm not aware of anywhere in the bible that answers that question. If there is I'm sure someone will correct me and point it out :-) So, considering that, we could only speculate. Speculating, I would point to verses (Matthew 17:3, Mark 9:4, Luke 9:30) where Moses and Elijah talked to Jesus. Perhaps the Lord greeted them by name :-) Keep in mind, speculating means absolutely nothing and should not be taken as doctrinal. But keep digging in, the Word of God is soooooooooooooooo sweet to our soul! Ah I pray all His people will come to love it and cherish it and be consumed by it! God bless, Steve |

147 | Divorce: believer or unbeliever | Matt 19:8 | humbledbyhisgrace | 153634 | ||
Thoughts on your question. How can the woman/man truly know the heart of another? Is it not true that we can only discern these things by ones actions compared to what we know about God's word. Would it not be logical that if one confesses their belief in God, yet their actions are contrary to God's will because of a willingness and premeditated choice to go against God's will, then their belief is probably not a true belief but falls in the category of unbeliever. Sinning in a moment of weakness and thinking it through and still sinning, I would think is where we can discern that the man or woman is a true believer or not. At least in man's finite understanding. Or I should say, in my finite understanding. I don't think man has the ability to truly know another's heart, but that we can only discern based on the abilities God has given us. Or is my way of thinking here actually being judgmental? I don't mean to confuse or mislead but rather understand myself. |

148 | Mat 21:12 Arrogance or what? on J' part | Matt 21:13 | humbledbyhisgrace | 186688 | ||
Greetings jbrob! I can't speak to what the pastor is doing / being accused of but perhaps this will help in regards to the passage in question. Matthew 21:12-13 (NASB) 21:12 And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. 21:13 And He said* to them, "It is written, 'MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER'; but you are making it a ROBBERS' DEN." Verse 13 pretty much answers the question why Jesus reacted the way he did. Also, it should be noted that the Perfect One's indignation was righteous. We know from scripture He did not sin nor did He have a sinful nature. He IS righteous in everything He does. Here is what the Bible Knowledge Commentary has to say on the passage. As Messiah Jesus entered the temple area, His indignation was directed toward those who had changed the character of the temple from a place of prayer into a place of corrupt commercialism. Many were making their living from the temple and the sacrifices purchased there. They insisted that in the temple the people could not use money that had been circulating in society, but had to change their money into temple money first, for a fee, and then use the temple money to purchase animals for sacrifice, at inflated prices. Since such extortion was completely contrary to the temple’s purposes, the Lord overturned their tables and benches in the outer court of the Gentiles while quoting parts of two Old Testament verses, Isaiah 56:7 and Jeremiah 7:11. (Jesus had previously cleared the temple at the beginning of His ministry [John 2:14-16].) —Bible Knowledge Commentary Again, I can't speak to what the pastor is doing. However, His approach if justified might be something we need to see more of in the church. It's time God's people stood up in their own local church and made a difference. We are taught in scripture there are tears among us but I find no where we have to allow them to choke the life out of the church! Just an added thought :-) God bless, Steve |

152 | speaking as a nonadventist give indept. | Matt 28:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 189150 | ||
RAD, your original question was "I am always asked, How do I know that Saturday is the seventh day of the week? Is there anywhere in the Bible which gives a clear view as to which day is the first or seventh day?" I pointed you to the scripture you requested. It doesn't matter what you call yourself, the scripture remains the same for everyone. Also, notice I pointed you to the Terms of Use? Did you read them? It was obvious where you were headed with this from your first question. So let me ask you. Were you honest with your first post? Do people really always ask you how you know that Saturday is the seventh day of the week? Did you are did you not know already what scripture said? One more time, go back and read the Terms of Use. Note bullets 2 and 3 under the FORUMS - MEMBER CONDUCT section. Steve |

154 | Evangelism in Prisons? | Matt 28:19 | humbledbyhisgrace | 205836 | ||
Tamara, I think John probably answered your question about the best anyone could unless we have someone on board here that knows the laws of every state and the federal laws regarding federal prison. I can tell you this much, I know a pastor and his wife who have a prison ministry and to my knowledge and understanding there is no restriction in regards to what they teach. I live in the state of Florida. Also, I was once a prison guard in the state of Alabama and they had no restrictions when I was there. As a matter of fact, by law we had to provide the time and place for any and all religions to practice their faith. I use to have to stand guard while the Muslims had their meetings. I was always amazed that they were allowed to because of the nature of what they were doing. I wasn't a Christian at the time and didn't even know anything about Islam. Never the less, it was obvious they were militant in everything they did. It was an interesting position to be in standing there as the only guard among a room full of Muslims who where teaching such hate and in such a militant way. I always thought if the do gooders on the outside had seen and heard what I had they would put a stop to it inside a prison. It made for a volatile situation inside the prison. Having said that and in keeping with the guide lines as some seem to be confused on the matter I offer this (John 14:6) :-) Steve |

155 | Allowing demons to speak? | Mark | humbledbyhisgrace | 195877 | ||
Greetings michael03! The demon had already spoken of him (Mark 1:24). Also, note in verse 28 "Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere into all the surrounding district of Galilee." (NASB). So, it would seem to me that the people near by did see and hear what took place and the word spread "Immediately". Consider verses 15, 22, 27. Authority! Steve |

156 | Allowing demons to speak? | Mark | humbledbyhisgrace | 195924 | ||
I think its safe to say Jesus and the unclean spirit both knew who He was and of His authority (v24, v25, v26). I would think it's also safe to say His command to the unclean spirit (v25) and the obedience of the unclean spirit to his command (v26) demonstrated His authority to those who were there and to those of us who have witnessed it through God's word (v27-28). You say you feel like there is more there. Why would you think there is more there then what is written? Steve |

157 | focus of the commendation | Mark 12:43 | humbledbyhisgrace | 210824 | ||
Greetings Sister! The immediate context would indicate He is teaching His disciples. "Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them..." v43 The comparison was of the "people" of which "many" were rich etc... v41. I don't think the view here was the religious leaders but rather all the people who put money into the treasury. Steve |

158 | matt. 16:15-18 should they believe us? | Mark 16:18 | humbledbyhisgrace | 155905 | ||
Hi blackbox, I have not seen most of these things either not to mention some of the other things in the Bible you didn't mention. But I do believe. And I believe because I have heard God's word and God has blessed me and given me the faith to believe. Romans 12:3 KJV "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith." According to God's word, He gives us faith. According to God's word, there were many that saw the things you mentioned and many of them did not believe even though they saw them. So, how are we to understand this? If this is true, that many saw some of the things you mentioned and didn't believe, then how is someone going to believe if they never see these things? Take a look at Isaiah's question in Romans 10:16 KJV "But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?" And then look at the answer given in the next verse Romans 10:17 KJV "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." See, it's through the grace of God and hearing His word that one believes. If you would, take a look at the following verses. Pray as you read these verses and think about what they are telling us about God's word it may help you understand the importance of God's word and that signs are not required for someone to believe. Isaiah 55:11, Hebrews 4:12, Romans 10:17 I pray this helps! God bless! |

159 | Luke 7:36-50 - Clarification needed | Luke 7:44 | humbledbyhisgrace | 189934 | ||
Greetings Azure, If there were any question about it I would think verses 36 and 44 should clear it up. Luke 7:36 (NASB) Now one of the Pharisees was requesting Him to dine with him, and He entered the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table. Luke 7:44 (NASB) Turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I ENTERED YOUR HOUSE; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. (My emphases added) Steve |

160 | Swine possessed by demons | Luke 8:33 | humbledbyhisgrace | 203544 | ||
Hi allanm, Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! Scripture does not say they were released to possess someone else. To my knowledge, scripture does not give us reason to believe that they were. Considering they were commanded by the Lord and sent into the swine I see no reason to believe they have the power to do other then what the Lord commanded them to do. Steve |
