143 | Which prophecies were fulfilled? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 70545 | ||
Greetings, In addition to what scriptures EdB told you I suggest that you go to Isaiah 52:13 and 53:12 as you will find many verses that were fulfilled by Christ. 52:14 speaks of His beating before He was crucified. 53:3 - He was despised and rejected, a man of suffering and aquited with infirmity. Chap 50:6 tells of His sufferings on the cross. These are just a few of many prophesies that were fulfilled. prayon |

144 | Is the devil a personification of my sin | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 72094 | ||
Greetings Torch81, Satan is very real. The bible is clear on this. This is what the Smith's Bible Dictionary has to say about Satan: The personal existence of a spirit of evil is clearly revealed in Scripture; but the revelation is made gradually. In the beginning Satan is referred only to the serpent. In Job we find for the first time a distinct mention of “Satan,” the “adversary” of Job. The NT brings plainly forward the power and the influence of Satan. From the beginning of the Gospel, when he appears as the personal tempter of our Lord, and throughout the NT, it is asserted or implied, again and again, as a familiar and important truth. Of the nature and original state of Satan, little is revealed in Scripture. He is spoken of as a “spirit” in Eph. 2:2, as the prince or ruler of the “demons” in Matt. 12:24-26, and as having “angels” subject to him in Matt. 25:41; Rev. 12:7, 9. The whole description of his power implies spiritual nature and influence. We conclude therefore that he was of angelic nature, a rational and spiritual creature, superhuman in power, wisdom and energy; an archangel, and one of the “princes” of heaven. We cannot conceive that anything essentially and originally evil was created by God. We can only conjecture that Satan is a fallen angel, who once had a time of probation, but whose condemnation is now irrevocably fixed. As to the details of his fall Scripture tells us scarcely anything; but it describes to us distinctly the moral nature of the evil one. The ideal of goodness is made up of the three great moral attributes of God—love, truth, and purity or holiness; combined with that spirit which is the natural temper of the finite and dependent creature, the spirit of faith. We find, accordingly, that the opposites of these qualities are dwelt upon as the characteristics of the devil. The power of Satan over the soul is represented as exercised either directly or by his instruments. His direct influence over the soul is simply that of a powerful and evil nature on those in whom lurks the germ of the same evil. Besides this direct influence, we learn from Scripture that Satan is the leader of a host of evil spirits or angels who share his evil work, and for whom the “everlasting fire is prepared.” Matt. 25:41. Of their origin and fall we know no more than of his. But one passage—Matt. 12:24-26—identifies them distinctly with the “demons” or “devils” who had power to possess the souls of men. They are mostly spoken of in Scripture in reference to possession; but in Eph. 6:12 they are described in various lights. We find them sharing the enmity to God and man implied in the name and nature of Satan; but their power and action are little dwelt upon in comparison with his. But the evil one is not merely the “prince of the demons”; he is called also the “prince of this world” in John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11, and even the “god of this world” in 2 Cor. 4:4; the two expressions being united in Eph. 6:12. This power he claimed for himself, as a delegated authority, in the temptation of our Lord, Luke 4:6; and the temptation would have been unreal had he spoken altogether falsely. The indirect action of Satan is best discerned by an examination of the title by which he is designated in Scripture. He is called emphatically oJ diavbolo", “the devil.” The derivation of the word in itself implies only the endeavor to break the bonds between others and “set them at variance”; but common usage adds to this general sense the special idea of “setting at variance by slander.” In the application of the title to Satan, both the general and special senses should be kept in view. His goal is to break the bonds of communion between God and man, and the bonds of truth and love which bind men to each other. The slander of God to man is best seen in the words of Gen. 3:4, 5. They attribute selfishness and jealousy to the Giver of all good. The slander of man to God is illustrated by the book of Job. Job 1:9-11; 2:4, 5. IV. The method of satanic action upon the heart itself. It may be summed up in two words—temptation and possession. The subject of temptation is illustrated, not only by abstract statements, but also by the record of the temptations of Adam and of our Lord. It is expressly laid down, as in James 1:2-4, that “temptation,” properly so called, i.e., “trial,” is essential to man, and is accordingly ordained for him and sent to him by God, as in Gen. 22:1. It is this tentability of man, even in his original nature, which is represented in Scripture as giving scope to the evil action of Satan. But in the temptation of a fallen nature Satan has a greater power. Every sin committed makes a man the “servant of sin” for the future, John 8:34; Rom. 6:16; it therefore creates in the spirit of man a positive tendency to evil, which sympathizes with, and aids, the temptation of the evil one. prayon |

152 | What were Tabernacle and Temple? | OT general | prayon | 4452 | ||
The tabernacle was the portable sanctuary of the Isrealites when they were wandering in the wilderness. The temple was the permanent structure which was built by Solomon. They both were very important part of the worshipping of the Isrealites. Both the temple and the tabernacle were very similar in design and what was contained in them. The directions for the building of it are in Exodus 25-30. and the directions for the temple are in 1Kings 6-8. | ||||||
153 | the goat a sign for satan? | OT general | prayon | 15574 | ||
Goats were of great importance in ancient life. In ancient economy goats were very useful and thus were a measure of wealth (1Sam 25:2; 2 Chron 17;11). Since the goat was so important it became the sacrificial animal. It is not that they are a symbol of satan, - but just that our sins were transfered from us onto the goat because God required a blood sacrifice for our sins. prayon | ||||||
154 | discuss meaning of Nazirite vow | OT general | prayon | 19140 | ||
Greetings easyoke! The only reference to your question I can find comes from the Harpers Bible Dictionary. Nazorites (dedicated or consecrated ones)were men or women who entered a consecrated state upon their own or a parents vow. Both Samuel and Samson were consecrated by vows while still in their mothers wombs. In the NT is is likely that one of the significances attached to Jesus' being called a "Nazarene" is that he too should be viewed as a "Nazirite" in the sense of being consecatated to God from the womb. prayon | ||||||
155 | What did it mean to give up birthright? | OT general | prayon | 29021 | ||
Greetings JohnR, In the ancient Near East it was the custom that the inheritance be passed from the father to the sons. The eldest son was to get a double portion, and all younger brothers a smaller portion. This was known as the birthright. It was protected in the laws of the OT in Deut. 21:15-17. However, there have been times when the birthright was sold to a younger brother such as Esau and Jacob in Gen. 25:27-34. When one gave up his birthright he gave up this double portion of the inheritance. prayon |

156 | Who took Aarons place? | OT general | prayon | 52412 | ||
Greetings angelface, Burningbush accidentally gave you the wrong scripture, it is found in Numbers 20:26. The importance of this act, investing the functions of the priesthood in one man, is to be explained as anticipating Jesus Christ, the only true high priest, who accomplishes the saving work to which the OT priesthood pointed. prayon | ||||||

159 | Why was Christ baptized? | NT general Archive 1 | prayon | 2586 | ||
There are few reasons why Jesus was baptized. 1) It was His first identification with us as sinners, the penitent people of God, not with the critical Pharisees who were only watching. 2) It marked the beginning of his ministry, leaving His private life behind. 3)It was His annointing for service. In the OT days the kings, prophets, ect. were always annointed with oil before starting whatever it was God had for them to do. It was a symbol that the Holy Spirit was going to be given to them in special measures for their work. Christ's baptism was also the first time that God publicly acknowledged His Son. It was after this event that all the healing, ect. began to take place. 4) It was a symbolism of death - the first thing that pointed to His death on the cross. 5) He was personally confessing sin on behalf of the nation as Ezra, Moses, Nehemiah and Daniel had done before. 6) He was showing respect for what John was doing. Hope this helps. In Christ's Love, prayon |

160 | Who were the scribes? | NT general Archive 1 | prayon | 4438 | ||
According to the Harpers Bible Dictionary scribes is derived from the word "write" which acurately describes their job. They held a wide variety of offices and were usually had competence in some area such as law or economics. They were primarily concerned with the written records, politics and administation. They were considered leaders but also were considered part of the learned class. They were influential in the temple and in different areas of the government. In the NT they usually appeared along side of the high priests and elders and were always opponents of Jesus and later of Christianity. Scribes had to be very educated, have understanding of the law and be able to interpret the scriptures. Many times they interpreted the scriptures to fit what they or the priests or elders wanted them to say. |
