141 | How was Jesus fastened to the cross" | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 227150 | ||
Hi BoJac, Welcome to the forum! As far as I know, their is nothing written that answers that question. Apparently, God has chosen to keep that information tucked away in the shadows of history. Perhaps, though, it is because of what was done there on that cross, that tree, that is so much more important than, 'how' it was done. And what was that you might ask? I think Charles Spurgeon said it better then I could ever. -John "Having all his life long carried their sicknesses and sorrows, he bore the burden of sin to the place of its annihilation, and by his death he made an end of it. Apart from the atonement, the chosen of God, like other men, lay under sin; the black cloud was over all the race, but Jesus took the dense mass of all the transgressions of his people, past, present, and to come, and obliterated the whole, even as a cloud is blotted out from the face of heaven. Jesus took the whole incalculably ponderous load, all charged with tempest as it was, and bore it all upon those shoulders, which must have been crushed to the earth had they not been divine: on the tree he bore that sin and the wrath which was due to it, feeling all its crowded tempests in his own soul, until in that moment when he had borne all, and ended all, he sent up the victorious shout of "It is finished." Then shone forth the unclouded glory of boundless love; then was gone forever the threatened storm; then righteousness sprang out of the earth, and peace looked down from heaven, and the reconciled ones might well exclaim, "Sing, O heavens; for the Lord hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel." Sin was put away, transgression was cast into the depths of the sea, and loud o'er all rang out the jubilant challenge—"Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? Who is he that condemneth, now that Christ hath died?" I scarcely need to sketch that experience, for, my brethren, you know it well. Oh, the blackness of the darkness above; oh, the horror of the tempest within, in the dreadful hour of conviction of sin, when my weary soul longed for nothingness, that it might escape from its own hell. Oh the dread of the wrath to come. I saw all God's indignation gathering up to spend itself upon me, but glory be to God it spent itself elsewhere!" ... C. H. Spurgeon |

142 | Premarital sex-- did I make a mistake? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 227259 | ||
Dear Quite One, Welcome to the Forum! First of all, It needs to be said that, this type of question is not in the order of those that pertain to bible study, and that is the desired intention of our gracious host, The Lockman Foundation. And, out of respect for them and the clear mandate set forth in the Terms of use, that we all agreed to when we signed on to the Study Bible Forum; We seldom answer these types of questions. They are usually avoided. But, having said that; we are not immune to compassion, and since you are asking from a Christian standpoint, wanting to know what God thinks and, what His Holy Word says about your situation. I will say this... I believe that you have done the right thing by putting a stop to it. And I believe you two should get married as soon as posable, and may God bless your marriage! And, of course God will forgive you, (John 6:37-40, John 10:27-30) and of course we do too! God bless you, my dear, and God bless your family. -John p.s Please, read your Bible! :-) |

143 | Why was God silent for 400 years ? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 227536 | ||
Sorry for the brevity, but, the Bible just doesn't say why God was silent for 400 years. Perhaps, though, we should dwell more on what He did say, rather then what He didn't say. -John | ||||||

The line between Soul and Spirit is hardly a clear one: Soul; is sometimes said to be that part of us that is our consciousness, our wants/desires, our feelings, our very thoughts, that which we perceive as, ‘self’, is sometimes said to be our soul, it has been called, the seat of appetite. Spirit; sometimes is used to mean breath, so indicating that which is vital to life, also sometimes used in describing a tendency toward a particular behavior, (e.g. he has a lying spirit), or, a leaning toward, or, an untruthfulness in spirit. Spirit and soul have both been looked at as, that part of man that is unseen and sentient, yet consciously aware of the fact that we are alive, and, perhaps, even the very thing that is life itself. (Of course true life is found only in Jesus Christ) Just what are the tangible differences between the two? Scripture pants a pretty fuzzy line at best. And, while some commentary, tend to keep the line between them though it remains quite unclear, others seem to wipe it out altogether.-John --------------------------- “ While outwardly man is a physical being, living and moving in a material universe, there is also a spiritual reality. Finite, physical creatures could never truly relate to an infinite, spiritual Being so when God created man, he formed yet a third facet to our nature, a spirit. The soul, comprised of our thoughts, emotions and will, combined inextricably with this spirit to form a creature unlike all others, higher than the animals and a little lower than the angels; Unique in all Creation. It is this amalgamation of spirit and soul that survives our physical death. It is the essence of who we are as a person and will never cease to exist.” – gospel.htm: Part of http://www.tlogical.net Copyright ©2005 John M. Fritzius --------------------------- “Scripture uses the word "soul" and "spirit" interchangeably. For example, in John 12:27, our Lord says, "now is my soul troubled." However, in a very similar context, in the next chapter, John tells us that Jesus was "troubled in spirit" (13:21). There are a number of places where it is used in Hebrew Parallelism; e.g., Luke 1:46-47. Dead people are both spoken of as "spirits" (Hebrew 12:23; 1 Peter 3:19) and "souls" (Revelation 6:9; 20:4). At death, Scripture says either that the "soul" departs or the "spirit" departs (cf Genesis 35:18; 1 Kings 17:21; Isaiah 53:12; Psalm 31:5; Luke 23:46; Ecclesiastes 12:7; John 19:30; Acts 7:59; etc.). The Bible says that the "soul" can sin or the "spirit" can sin (cf 1 Peter 1:22; Revelation 18:14; 2 Corinthians 7:1; 7:34; etc.). Indeed, everything that the soul is said to do, the spirit is also said to do and vice versa. This includes thinking, feeling, choosing, and worshiping. In Jewish thinking human beings are not bipartite or tripartite creatures. Dividing of the various components is such a difficult thing, that no human can untangle the parts or even find the dividing lines. (Hence the surgical imagery of Hebrews 4:12.) Just as today we'd not be able to find the dividing line between our minds and our bodies. The trichotomy of man was an idea introduced by the Greeks -- Aristotle in particular. (Not that it isn't "true" -- only that it has its origins from extra-Biblical sources.) Later Gnostic thinking liked this idea, as they deemed that pure reason was higher, more noble, and distinct from baser attributes. Even later, Augustine argued that the image of God's triune nature was reflected in a triune nature of man. The Roman Church still holds to this perspective, although with a bit of a Gnostic twist. Even our language reflects some of our opinions regarding the components of a man. The ancient Hebrew thought of the heart the same way the average American thinks of the brain. The modern man does not expect to cut into a brain and find the real person. In the same way, the Hebrew would not have expected to cut into a heart and reveal the real person. Yet both understand that a blob of tissue exists, but both tend to think of it as somehow containing a person's essence. This is a deep and complex subject. Theologians and philosophers for multiple millennia have discussed it. The Scripture tells us things that we could not have known by introspection. However, it does not entirely settle all of the questions. What we can say definitively, though, is that man is a being who thinks, feels, acts, and communicates. Furthermore, we know that the soul/spirit can be separated from the body in death, but that that is an abnormal state -- one that won't exist when God restores creation, for every soul/spirit will be joined with their resurrected body.” -- DocTrinsograce |

Hi jsolomon, welcome to the forum! The only one who ever saved anyone is Jesus Christ. Of all the untold millennia that have been saved, throughout the history of man, all have been saved by the sacrifice of one person who is God our saviour, Jesus Christ.-John |

153 | Is it wrong to call one on earth Father? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 230043 | ||
Hello janierudack2, welcome to the forum. I am unawares of any scripture that says not to call our earthly fathers by the title of father. In fact there are many places in scripture that say otherwise. Genesis 12:1, Genesis 2:24, Matthew 10:37, Matthew 15:4, Deuteronomy 27:16, Proverbs 3:12, I would guess that whoever told you that could use a Bible lesson. -John |

154 | Is it wrong to call one on earth Father? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 230070 | ||
Hi janierudack, there is a correction for my previous post. You can find what you are looking for in Matthew 23:9. I believe John Gill gives a good explanation for this.-John "Ver. 9. And call no man your father upon the earth,.... Not but that children may, and should call their natural parents, fathers; and such who have been instrumental in the conversion of souls, may be rightly called by them their spiritual fathers; as servants and scholars also, may call those that are over them, and instruct them, their masters: our Lord does not mean, by any of these expressions, to set aside all names and titles, of natural and civil distinction among men, but only to reject all such names and titles, as are used to signify an authoritative power over men's consciences, in matters of faith and obedience; in which, God and Christ are only to be attended to." |

Hi, tulip, and welcome. The Bible doesn't really say, tulip, but I for one do not believe our loving and gracious Father, our "Daddy in Heaven", would not give His children, -the very ones that He died for- something that would be so easy for Him to do, do you?-John | ||||||

157 | Heaven what it will be like! | Bible general Archive 3 | stjohn | 183823 | ||
HI mae68; The bible doesn't tell us exactly what heaven will look like but I hope this helps. In heaven the blessedness of the righteous consists in the possession of "life everlasting," "an eternal weight of glory" (2 Cor. 4:17), an exemption from all sufferings for ever, a deliverance from all evils (2 Cor. 5:1, 2) and from the society of the wicked (2 Tim. 4:18), bliss without termination, the "fulness of joy" for ever (Luke 20:36; 2 Cor. 4:16, 18; 1 Pet. 1:4; 5:10; 1 John 3:2). The believer's heaven is not only a state of everlasting blessedness, but also a "place", a place "prepared" for them (John 14:2). Also look in revelation 4:2-6 keep looking up and God bless stj |

158 | Age of those entering Promise Land | Bible general Archive 3 | stjohn | 184055 | ||
Hi jaykay; There is some debate as to what is the age of accountability, some say as young as 10, some say 20, I think it varies from person to person, so after the 40 years in the wilderness and I think that 20 being the youngest that one would be called to battle, perhaps the oldest would be about 60 and the youngest 20. can someone add to this? I'd like to know too. stj |

159 | are fish sinless | Bible general Archive 3 | stjohn | 184062 | ||
Hi gizbeth; Adam and Eve where the first Humans to sin when they disobeyed God. God commanded them not to eat of the three of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. God never commanded fish or birds or beasts of any kind whatsoever that crawl or fly or swim. what they do they do by instinct. sort of like they are preprogramed or something like that. We all, being of the seed of Adam and Eve, we have a sin nature, so it is natural for us to sin. We are sinners. So, Romans 3:23 obviously is not addressed to fish it is addressed to men God in His word which is the Bible is talking to us sinners. therefor fish are not sinners they are (sinless) I hope that helps God's peace stj |
