Tim I would like to find a tenth grade english book from 40 years ago or a website where I can reaquaint myself with the English Language. I should let you know I tend to talk in colloquialisms and over use the comma. We need to lighten up and smile occasionally. Jesus is a happy man. Now don't get down on me because I said Jesus was a man and not God/man. You either Hank |

Hank my brother At the time Paul was writing 2 Timothy 3:16 there was no New Testament. How could Scripture refer to something that didn't exist. 2 Peter 3:16,15 qualified Paul's writing as scripture. Hence that which is the New Testament is scripture. Read some history along with the bible, it is helpful. Paul wrote 2 Tim about 68 AD while 2 Pet was written between and around 61 to 65 AD. Do you think Paul knew he was writing scripture? Did John? Did James? Did Jude? Did Peter? That my friend is a heady thing. We, on the other hand, look back into the writings of the New Testament and we see scripture from our vantaqge point. How did the Bible we use come into the form we have today. By the way I never said the New Testament was not scripture. You are trying to put words in my mouth. |

Isn't your explanation of scripture according to your denomination. You know as I reread what I wrote "I think we need to keep in mind when questions of doctrine come up we should explain the doctrine of our denomination." I was trying (pitifully I might add) to say that our explanation is according to our denomination's doctrine and should reveal that. If you don't believe or adhere to your denominations doctrine then why do you belong to that denomination. Isn't that why we have denminations. To keep us separate. A friend once said, "to keep us from being unequally yoked." |

At the time it was written all scripture was the Old Testament. It was not until Peter wrote as you have rightly quoted that Paul's writings could be look at as Scripture. We must remember that the Bible is an Middle eastern book, written by middle eastern men. To understand it we must understand them and how they thought. It is dangerous to take the context and transpose it into the way we think today. Take the word fammine. When a fammine came upon the land in the Bible it meant an economic collapse. So to look at any prophecy that may be being fulfilled today we need to look at "fammine" as fammine and economic collapse. Just an example, not an explaination of some particular scripture. We need to understande grammar, yes sirree. I have often expressed woe that I do not remember how to diagram sentences to help me understand what I am reading. All this (education)is important and even essential to being a disciple of Jesus. However, (here is where I contradict myself)when the church was formed at Pentecost how many of the those 3000 that were saved do you think could read. How many of the apostles could read. Did everyone who met on the day after Pentecost have their bibles tucked under their arm? Scrolls of scripture were kept in the Synagogue. Most towns were lucky to have even a portion of the Torah. How were these trained up in the Lord. I wonder if we don't have too much and it causes us to become spiritually constipated. Thank you Tim for your insight every time I read a response It causes me to reflect on just what I believe and teach. I enjoy reading your notes. IN CHRIST Jeff |

I was just using similar language as Paul. Our zeal for the Lord is duplicated in those we encourage to seek after the Lord to be IN CHRIST not in Jeff. I would hope that your life and would be an encouragement to others to imitate your zest for God. The Holy Bible, Darby’s New Translation 1 Cor. 4:15 through 1 Cor. 4:16 (DNT) 15For if ye should have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the glad tidings. 16I entreat you therefore, be my imitators.

Tim here is Part 2 I have never heard that Kenneth Copeland or any other “Faith” preachers have attacked the doctrine of Tim Moran. Nor have I every heard or read any of the “Faith” preachers say they have the answer and all else is wrong. You may be confusing preaching with authority with exalting your own wisdom. Don’t you preach or teach with authority? Here is something to think about. You referred to 2 Tim 3:16. The scripture referred to is the Old Testament because there was no New Testament yet. Those who do not feel the need to be in the word are in need of conversion. I am mentoring a few men. One came to me because He wanted more of God in his life. He was under conviction that he was not doing what God wanted him to do. My role became to open the scriptures to him to encourage him to read them and ask the Holy Spirit to instruct him as to the true meaning not just what I say and to show him how to apply them to his life. It was his choice to seek after what God has for Him. If he wasn’t after him there is nothing we can do. I once had another man ask me to mentor him (actually it was his wife who wanted it) and I asked him to read the bible 10 minutes a day. We met once a week for over a month and he never did read the bible for even ten minutes a day. His choice. One man we can disciple and the other we can encourage. It is between God and the second man I cannot change the second man. God changed the first. I am encouraged by the tone of your answer. I think we need to keep in mind when questions of doctrine come up we should explain the doctrine of our denomination and let God show the questioner the correctness. After all we are told not to be of Appolos or Paul or Cephas. We are of Christ, you and me and all the others. Let us then call Him Lord, Lord and do what He says. |

Greetings Tim We come into this forum either as a seeker (one desiring to understand the things of God, but still part of the world, an unbeliever) or as a believer (One who believes God, believes Romans 10:8,9,10, or if you prefer, one who has said "The Sinners Prayer"). When you believe you are changed (2 Cor 5:17,18a, Romans 3:21,22, Romans 8:15-18, and many others). The seeker is looking for a new way but does not know the way. The believer has found it. They come to the forum to receive Godly knowledge, Godly understanding, and Godly wisdom. If you are concerned that new believers do not dig deep into the Word of God your concern is correct. It our job to make disciples not believers. We were all believers at one time. God changed us into disciples. Our commitment to God surpassed our commitment to all else. We chose and He responded. As we progressed in our discipleship a time came where we duplicated ourselves. The Forum is a place where we can duplicate ourselves. We must teach those we teach to be like the Bereans. Take it to the Scriptures. Read the Scriptures. But we should not become so entrenched in the literal that we have fail to take Paul’s warning. 2 Cor. 3:6 (KJV) 6Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. God gave us a picture of how He works in Exodus. The pillar of fire and the pillar of smoke lead the people to where God wanted them. The pillar may not have moved for months but one day it would start and we either followed and went to a new place or stayed where we were comfortable and familiar with the terrain. Example: The church preaches that you get to heaven by paying for it. Buying ones loved ones out of purgatory and into heaven is church doctrine. Then comes Martin Luther. How many of the preachers of the day defended the faith against this doctrine of saved by faith. They had the same Word as Luther yet they did not see what He saw. The pillar of fire had moved but they had not moved with it. We do the same thing. Are we teaching that we know everything that the Bible says and understand everything that there are no mysteries left to be revealed. Do we teach how to rightly divide the word. Are we responsible for guarding the body of Christ from outside or erring influences. Are we not to be imitators of Paul who had judizers following Him everywhere he went teaching false doctrine. Does He attach them in any of His letters outright or does he teach the body in the truth. Isn’t God capable of brining us out of error. It is our job to be “ASIS DEFENDER OF THE FAITH”, or is our job “DISCIPLEMAKER TEACHER OF THE FAITH.” Point 2) is that God stuff can only be discerned by the spirit. When I was conformed to the world, I used my mind to reason what God was doing. I was never right. I finally had to let go and let God. I do not battle against the world’s wisdom. That battle belongs to the LORD. When I believe God, I have turned away, repented, from the world view and turned to the God view. If I am converted (new heart) and have not just made a decision (and many who become converted start out with just a decision) I am after the God stuff not the man stuff. The man stuff never seems to satisfy any more. The God stuff is in the Bible. The Spirit leads me to spend time in the word. Learn the word, the will of God. As I put the word in God renews my mind. He uses His word as a two-edged sword cutting asunder the division between soul (mind will and emotions) and the spirit (that part of me that was born again). I begin to think like Him. His will and my will become the same. My mind thinks thoughts that are His word. It is my spirit that begins to lead my life. Before it was my flesh, my mind, will, emotions and body. Through the renewing of my mind I am lead by my spirit which is lead by the Spirit of God. It is through God’s Spirit that I can have the mind of Christ. 1 Cor. 2:12-16 |

150 | Jesus followed Jewish laws until His cru | Col 2:16 | Asis | 81797 | ||
Jesus is Jewish and is obedient to the commands of His Father. The commands like Exodus 12:14 (speaking of the Passover) And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. This command was to the Jew, the descendants of Abraham. Even to those, Jews, who recognize that Jesus is the Messiah and follow Him, NOT to non Jews who follow the Messiah. The law was fulfilled in Jesus. He is the culmination of the Law and the prophets. He is the Passover, He is the Yom Kippur, He is the Rosh Hashonah, He is the sabbath, He is the new moon, He is all in all. |

151 | Are all interpretations equal? | Rom 3:4 | Asis | 81735 | ||
Peter received his knowledge of scripture by some arcane mode of special revelation. Paul received his understanding of scripture by some arcane mode of special revelation. If God is the same yesterday, today, and forever Then He will renew my mind (Romans 12:2) like He renewed theirs. I put it in and He writes it on the heart of flesh He transplanted for my heart of stone. Peter: Acts 4:13 (NASB) 13Now as they observed the confidence of Peter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and began to recognize them as having been with Jesus. Acts 2:14 through Acts 2:36 Paul: Rom. 16:25 through Rom. 16:27 (KJV) 25Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: 27To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. 1 Cor. 14:6 (KJV) 6Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? Gal. 1:10 through Gal. 1:12 (KJV) 10For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 11But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Gal. 2:1 through Gal. 2:2 (KJV) 1Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also. 2And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain. US: Eph. 1:17 through Eph. 1:18 (KJV) 17That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, Jesus revealed the scriptures to the men on the road to Emmaus. Luke 24:25 through Luke 24:27 (NASB) 25And He said to them, “O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26“Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?” 27Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures. Now we have the Holy Spirit to instruct us. It is important for us to read the word of God in english and greek and Aramaic and MacCarther and Stanley and Capps and Hagin and Barnes and Finney and Wesley and Fox and any other version. But when I open my mouth, I want to teach, preach what Jesus teaches, preaches - The unshakeable kingdom of God and the unchanging person of Jesus. I want to die to self and let God use me as an instrament of rightousness. Lord speak through me, teach through me. Not I who live but You in me |

152 | Are all interpretations equal? | Rom 3:4 | Asis | 81713 | ||
Radioman2 I guess, maybe I didn't understand your question. I've come to rely on the word of God instead of others to tell me how to think. Any higher education, and I don't know exactly what that is, should teach us how to think not what to think. How to question. Any professor has a point of view and teaches his subject with the idea that his point of view is the correct and true point of view. Unfortunately they are mere men and if they move to another point, their point of view changes. My God sees all points of view and has the only correct view because He made all the points. We do not teach our students to think we teach them to regurgitate. If they think - they fail. So they come to believe that there is no absolute truth. When it comes to the way (Christianity) there IS absolute truth. It is what God has said. When this is refuted, when a relative truth is made doctrine, then it is not Christianity. If I have been saved, converted, filled with the Holy Ghost, made righteous, made a new creation, made a child of God, a joint heir with Christ, etc. Then I KNOW what the TRUTH is and am set FREE. So "Are all interpretation equal?" NO |

153 | What does "the kingdom of God is at hand | Matthew | Asis | 81681 | ||
This is the gospel that Jesus preached. Matthew 4:23 (NIV) 23Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. It was why He was sent. Luke 4:42 through Luke 4:44 (KJV) 42And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them. 43And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. 44And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee. Jesus' life exemplified Kingdom living. If we want to know what Kingdom life is, all we have to do is look at the life opf Jesus. He tells how we are to BE in the Kingdom in the "Be Attitudes". Jesus said He is the door. The door into the kingdom. No one cane see the kingdom unless they be born again. He told us to first seek His kingdom (Matt. 6:33). We need only read the New Testament to know the secrets of the Kingdom. Matthew 13:11 through Matthew 13:12 (NIV) 11He replied, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. We are in the Kingdom NOW. Colossians 1:13 through Colossians 1:14 (NIV) 13For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14in whom we have redemption,£ the forgiveness of sins. There is much, much more. Matthew 24:14 (NASB) 14“This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. |

155 | Differing geneologies of Jesus? | NT general Archive 1 | Asis | 81192 | ||
The following is an excerpt from Fred John Meldau's "Messiah in both Testaments. (4 Christ’s Right to David’s Throne. Here is an intricate, involved puzzle: so involved it will take a little concentration on the part of the reader to follow the problem and its solution but it will repay the effort. Christ, the seed of David, must be virgin-born, and yet have a legal right to the throne of David despite the fact that one of Solomon’s descendants was a certain evil man named Jeconiah, of whom it was written that none of his descendants would ever rule in Judah (see Jeremiah 22:29-30); and despite the fact that in Israel the right to the throne was transmitted only through the male line: and Christ was born of a virgin! It is perfectly clear that Messiah will inherit “the throne of David” (Isa. 9:7; Jerem. 33:15-17; 25:5; Ps. 132:11; 1 Chron. 17:11,14). But, since He had to be born of a virgin, how can He get His legal right to the throne of David? And how can the roadblock erected by Jeconiah’s sin be circumvented? Who can untangle these apparently hopelessly confused predictions? Leave it to the Master Mind who both devised the strange prophesies and worked out their fulfillment. Remember, the prophet Isaiah said, “The zeal of the Lord of Hosts shall perform this” (Isaiah 9:7). Not only was the apparently impossible solved and resolved in JESUS THE CHRIST, but God has given us the complete record of how He did it in the genealogies of the New Testament. In Matthew’s genealogy, the genealogy of Christ through Joseph is given. This genealogy shows Christ to be “the son of David” so giving Him right to David’s throne and also “the son of Abraham” so giving Him the right to the Land of Promise, the territorial possessions given to Abraham and his seed. In Matthew’s genealogy, Joseph is seen to be in the REGAL line of descent from king David, down through Solomon. But Joseph was also a descendant through Jeconiah (also called Coniah) hence, succession to the throne for Joseph personally is barred. Matthew’s genealogical record is careful to show that Jesus was NOT, through Joseph, the “fruit of David’s body,” i.e., a direct descendant of David through Joseph. In Luke 3:23-38 Christ’s genealogy is given through Mary. (Heli was obviously Mary’s father, Joseph’s father-in-law, v.23). In the record Christ is shown to be the LITERAL “fruit of David’s body” through His mother Mary. But, and this is important: while Mary is in A ROYAL line from David, she was not in THE REGAL lineage, for she was a descendant of king David through Nathan, whereas the throne rights were to come through Solomon’s line (see 1 Chron. 28:5-6). Therefore, Joseph’s marriage to Mary before Christ was born was an absolute necessity and that is exactly what happened! “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. . . .And behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou SON OF DAVID, fear not to take unto thee Mary THY WIFE: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit” (Matt. 1:18-20). So, through Mary, Jesus the Christ obtained His literal descent from king David; and from Mary’s marriage to Joseph, who was also a “son of David,” He obtained His legal right to David’s throne, for Mary was Joseph’s wife before Jesus was born, so making Joseph Jesus’ legal father, His foster father. And, withal, the prophecy concerning Jeconiah was fulfilled too, for Jesus the Christ is NOT of the “seed” a direct descendant of Jeconiah. Can you think of anything more intricate and involved, and yet worked out with such precision. Joseph and Mary had to be the parents (foster father and mother) of Jesus the Christ: they were the only two people of that generation who could be, and fulfill prophecy about Messiah. And Joseph had to be married to Mary before Jesus was born, so He could get His legal right to David’s throne through Joseph. At the same time, Christ could not be a child of Joseph because of the bar against a descendant of Jeconiah. And though Joseph had to be married to Mary, yet Joseph could not “know” Mary as his wife until after Jesus was born, for He had to be born of a virgin! And the Divinely ordered fulfillment was perfect in every detail! This may explain why the two geneologies of Christ. |

Thank you for pointing out how easy it is to be sucked up in religion miss the truth of the Word of God. I see that God is even cooler than I thought. I do not have to renounce my flesh every day, God placed it on the cross with Christ. I searched for a scripture that would justify what I said and could find none, only 1 Corinthians 15:31 came close. That scripture in context does not fit what I said. I am glad that iron sharpens iron. | ||||||
157 | why do we sin when sin has no mastery? | Bible general Archive 1 | Asis | 80759 | ||
ABSOLUTELY. Dying to the flesh is not a one time act. We must choose to crucify the flesh daily. We must take on the attitude that sin has no power over us (RECKON OURSELVES DEAD TO SIN) since we daily die to the flesh. We choose to walk by the spirit. When I realize that Jesus destroyed the power of the devil, Heb. 2:14 through Heb. 2:18 (KJV) 14Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 18For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. then I know that the only power the devil has over me is the power I give him. If we believe this is true (Heb 2:14) our behavior should reflect our thoughts. I am glad that God has chosen to transform me/us into His good, accepatable and perfect will by the renewing of my/our mind. All I/we have to do is choose Him over the world. And BELIEVE. Rom. 3:4 (KJV) 4God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. Are you/we letting God be true in your/our life? |

158 | why do we sin when sin has no mastery? | Bible general Archive 1 | Asis | 80718 | ||
A believer sins because they want to. Look at our position as believers. We are the righteousness of God. Romans 4:19-25 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: [20] He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; [21] And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. [22] And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. [23] Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; [24] But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; [25] Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. We are made righteousness just because we believe God. Romans 5:17-19 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) [18] Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. [19] For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Jesus through His obedience to God made us who believe God righteous. What is righteousness? The ability to stand before God without any guilt shame or condemnation. Here is the point of Romans 7 sin had the power over our flesh. We had no choice but to sin as long as we lived by the flesh. After describing his situation of the conflict between his body, flesh, and his mind paul cries out Romans 7:24-25 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? [25] I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. Jesus is able to save him from the control his flesh has over him. Why? How? Romans 6:6-10 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. [7] For he that is dead is freed from sin. [8] Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: [9] Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. [10] For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. WE ARE DEAD TO SIN. SIN HAS NO MORE POWER OVER US. We live for God. If I am dead to sin and yet I sin it must be because I want to. James tells us how sin comes into being in a believer. James 1:14-15 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. [15] Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. The thought comes in as temptation. If we continue to think about it it will give birth to action, sin. Our God is so awesome and loving that He does not place in the world without the means to follow His commands. 1 Cor. 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Note carefully this promise of God. There is no tempatation that will come upon you that is beyond your capabilities to overcome. So God is telling us that we need never think the second thought over a temptation. We can nip it in the bud. Once we expirience the reality of this promise, overcome a temptaion, we know that this is not a promise anymore but rather it is a reality in our life. If I did it once I can do it every time. If God is true that we can overcome temptaion no matter what it is every time. God said so believe Him. My flesh or old man died with Christ on the cross. Anything the enemy tries to fling at me through my mind is thrown at a dead man and a dead man cannot sin. Thank you Jesus. All this just because I believe. |

Hello CDJB Let me thank you for your response to what I wrote. It has caused me to think about the times. Times are coming to a close. Not all prophecy is fulfilled with the snap of God's fingers. Jesus fulfilled Is 61 in part and we fulfill it in part. Don't the conversions of many Jews fulfill what is spoken of in Romans 11:25-26. Are we being blinded so we cannot see the move of God? I cannot prove by scripture what I said. 2 Cor. 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. We must be careful not to miss the spirit of the word and only live by the letter. It can be very easy to become legalistic and miss the spirit behind the word of God. Is the time of the Gentile coming to an end - Yes. Is Israel being restored by the Jew beleiving - Yes. Will Christ return Now - I hope so, could be, not for us to know. Are we ready? God will judge but my prayer is we are. 2 Cor. 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. The veil (vail) has been removed from my eyes and many other Jews. God calls on all of us to come to Him. |
