141 | what is separation actually? | Lev 15:19 | Jesusman | 118921 | ||
This is speaking of the female menstral period. According to the Hebrew beliefs, this was a period when the woman was concidered impure. As such, for someone, particularly a Man, was for them to be concidered unclean until they fulfilled whatever was required to be concidered clean. During this period, the woman would often live/sleep in a separate room in order to prevent her husband or others to become unclean. Quvmoh |

142 | When Is pentecost | Leviticus | Jesusman | 118613 | ||
Hello, It's been a while since I've posted on here. So, I'll announce my return by answering your question. The Answer is given in Leviticus 23:15-16 In summary: The day of pentacost begins Seven sabbaths plus one day after Passover. So, the counting begins on the day after the last day of passover, ie: Sunday. The Last Day of passover is normally a Sabbath. When the counting begins, count for seven saturdays, and the day of Pentacost will start the very next day, ie: Sunday. I hope this helps. Jesus Loves you! Jesusman |

143 | Who is Jesus' God? | John 3:16 | Jesusman | 112041 | ||
If this is a discussion over whether or not Jesus declared himself to be God, then you need ton debate further, because he did. Althroughout the Gospels, Jesus is referred to as God, and never once does he correct them. Also, IN John 8:58, Jesus in reference to Abraham calls himself the "I am". The holy name for God that was told to Moses on the mount at the burning bush, what "Jehovah" actually means. Why do you think the Pharisees and Sadducees blaimed Jesus for committing blasphemy? Because Jesus declared himself as God. So, Thomas' statement of declaring Jesus as God incorrect? No, because Jesus declared it of himself before. As for Angels being Gods, that is simply false. Also, Jesus is not a created being, as it seems like you are implying. "Begotten" does not always mean "birthed", but "unique". That is an accurate description of Jesus, especially given the Doctrine of the Trinity, and Jesus being the Son within the Tri-une Godhead. As for the worship of Angels, Paul clearly denounces that In Colossians chapter 2. Besides, Hebrews chapter one raises Jesus higher than the angels, and lowers angels far below humans in status. The Bible makes it very clear that Angels are not gods and are not deserving of worship. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

144 | a question I could not answer | Luke 16:22 | Jesusman | 109254 | ||
Hello, Prior to the coming of the Messiah, people entered heaven believing in the coming Messiah, and the work he WILL do. After the coming of the Messiah, entrance into heaven is by believing in what the Messiah DID do. The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus sheds light on this. When the beggar Lazarus dies, he goes to what is identified as "Abraham's Bosom" or Paradise. When asked if he could return to warn his brothers so that they don't go to Hell, Abraham tells the Rich Man that they have Moses and the Prophets. As this parable points out, people went to both heaven and hell prior to the death, burial, and resurrection of the Christ. The proof is found in the Old Testament, which foretells the coming of the Messiah. Salvation is possible through faith in the Messiah by the Grace of God. Before the coming of the Christ, it was faith in his future coming. After his coming, it is faith in what he did on the cross. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

145 | did jesus go to hell | 1 Pet 3:18 | Jesusman | 106405 | ||
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Jesus went to hell. Jesus finished the payment of sin, and the defeat of death on the cross. His own words were "It is finished!" He didn't say "It will be finished in three days after I return from Hell." Also, as he died on the cross, he said "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." He didn't say, "Satan, into thy hands I resign my being." He told the thief on the cross, "Today, you will be with me in Paradise." He didn't say, "I'll join you in paradise after I kick satan's butt in hell for three days." Jesus went to be with the father during the three days his body was in the tomb. You can tell that from his own words. "It if finished!" John 19:30 "Today, you shall be with me in Paradise." Luke 23:43 "Father, into they hands I commend my spirit." Luke 23:46 Jesus Loves You!

146 | what do you understand by this verse | Rom 6:15 | Jesusman | 106319 | ||
Stop and think about what you are saying. Then think about what I am saying. Justification is NOT salvation. It is different. It is only one aspect to Salvation. Salvation includes Justification, Sanctification, and redemption. Justification is being declared without sin. YES, there is only one way to be saved, that is through the grace of God. However, there are two ways to be declared Justified. A) Through strict and perfect adhence to the Law. The problem is that, as James points out, if you mess up on one tiny point, then you have broken the whole law. It is impossible for man to accomplish, but it is one way to be declared Justified. B) To have Justification placed on you by another who is genuinely Justified. That is what happens with man. Man is unable to adhere to the Law as perfectly as God wants. So, when a man repents, God extends the justification of Christ onto the repentant man. Jesus needed a way to be justified. To be declared without sin. As Paul put it in 2 corinthians, "he who knew no sin ..." Does it make sense for Jesus declared justified due to his own genuine justification being extended to himself? No it doesn't. What does make sense? That Jesus followed the Law as strictly as God desired, and was declared just as a result? Yes, that does make better sense. Jesus is the exception to the rule. Why? Because he was both God and Man. He was human in order to be a personal sacrifice for man. He was God in order to be without sin, and to follow God's law without sinning. No man in existance can ever accomplish what Jesus did. Only Jesus is capable of following the Law to justification. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

147 | what do you understand by this verse | Rom 6:15 | Jesusman | 106225 | ||
If following the Law doesn't lead to justification, then why were the Israelites commanded to follow it? Justification isn't salvation. Salvation includes justification, not the other way around. Jesus needed to be declared justified, meaning without sin, in order to be the sacrifice for sin. Paul points that out numerous times. Now, how was Jesus declared sinless? 1) Did Jesus have faith in his own pending death, burial, and ressurrection, and declared justified by the grace of God? or 2) Did Jesus follow the Law and God's will perfectly and declared without sin as a result? Remember, Jesus was both God and Man. Due to being divine, he was born without a sin nature. Without that sin nature hindering him, Jesus could continue on with a life in perfect adherence to the Law. Thus becoming justified. After living a life of sinlessness and perfect adherence to the Law, Jesus died as the perfect payment for sin. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

148 | what do you understand by this verse | Rom 6:15 | Jesusman | 106215 | ||
2 Corinthians 5:21 He made him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in him. James 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. As you can see from these verses, one must keep the law in it's entirety in order to be declared without sin. In fact, these verses indicate that Jesus kept the law precisely and entirely. In order for Jesus to be declared one "who knew no sin", then he must've kept the law precisely and entirely. Since he did it, then it must be possible to be justified if the law is kept precisely and entirely. However, as you have pointed out, and as I stated briefly, such a task is impossible for us. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

149 | what do you understand by this verse | Rom 6:15 | Jesusman | 106205 | ||
Hello, Under the Law, the only way to be declared justified is to follow the Law exactly, and precisely. Which, by the way, is impossible. Under Grace, however, one is justified through their faith in Jesus Christ and God. There isn't the strict adherence that is demanded by the Law. As a result, the belief circulated, which is still believed today, that you can be a christian, live like the devil, and still be saved. Paul, in his own unique way, is saying that that isn't so. Because you're not under the authority of the Law does not mean you can live like the devil. On the contrary, it means that you must live as one who belongs to christ. Paul goes into this in detail further in Romans. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

151 | Should Christians remarry? | Bible general Archive 2 | Jesusman | 104498 | ||
Since Jesus and Paul both say no, then we shouldn't remarry after divorce. Why? Because it is concidered to be the same as adultry. Now, why do we? I don't know. Jesusman |

152 | Was Jesus claiming that he was God? | Luke 18:18 | Jesusman | 104017 | ||
Not really. It would seem to me that Jesus is trying to get the Rich young ruler to understand what he just said. Calling Jesus "good master" or "Good Teacher" was a simple, but careless greeting. It was a simple way of greeting a Rabbi or teacher, but it was careless because of how much depth such words carried. Jesus reminds him of this. By reminding the youn man that only God is good, Jesus is basically asking an implied question, "Are you putting me on the same level as God?" One thing to notice about this passage is that it isn't the comment about No one being good but God that disturbs the young man. It's Jesus' comment that he should give everything away that troubles him. Jesusman |

153 | choking on a gnat | Matt 23:24 | Jesusman | 104015 | ||
This is the chapter where Jesus rebukes the Pharisees and Scribes. Actually, "rebukes" is putting it mildly. Each verse is an outlandish example of things done by them. In this particular section, Jesus is using opposites. In the preveious verse, Jesus essentially says that they majored in the minor aspects of the law, while ignoring the major and more important aspects of the law. Jesusman |

154 | must be theologians? | Numbers | Jesusman | 103709 | ||
Hello, Yes, You still sound mixed up. First off, What's so strange about my name? Never heard of Jesus? Secondly, What is the big difference between "study" and "Search"? They seem like one and the same to me. "Search"? "Study"? What difference does it make as long as you get into the word of God? You're splitting hairs over nothing. Jesusman |
||||||
155 | must be theologians? | Numbers | Jesusman | 103676 | ||
Hello, Sorry to be blunt, but you are one mixed up person. How else is one supposed to know God and his will except he first study the Bible? The Bible isn't called the Word of God for publicity purposes. You claim that you don't study the Bible, and you also claim that we should not study it. If so, then you must not be familiar with Paul's command to study the Bible. 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to show thyself approved, a workman who needs not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. "Theologians" quote "Study to show thyself approved", because it's in the Bible. Look it up for yourself. In fact, let's take this a step further. Why did Paul praise the Berean church? They examined the scriptures daily. Look it up in Acts 17:10-15. While your at it, look up what John says in 1 John 4:1 Beloved do not believe every spirit, but test the spirit to see whether they are of God. How do you test except through studying the Bible? I do call your post ignorance. Why? Simply because you throw out one of the basic commands of the Bible. Also, you have your terms mixed up, you don't know what a theologian is, let alone what he does, and you even denied known biblical passages. It's apparent that you are either ignorant or heretical. Which is it? I do appologize for the bluntness, but something needed to be said. You prayed that people be granted wisdom and knowledge from God, yet said that one should not study God's word. You said that we should not listen to theologians, yet you expect us to heed your words. You accuse theologians of making up words, turning to the greek and hebrew, and say that it is confusing and non helpful. However, you seem to want clarification on "biblical words" such as sanctification. Where do you think the idea of sancitfication comes from except through the study of the original Greek and Hebrew? Aixen, your post is filled with contradictions, and misconceptions. Jesusman |

156 | Explain the Holy Trinity-verysimple form | Numbers | Jesusman | 103669 | ||
But I did hear that from Hank Henegraf. If you don't believe me, call him yourself and ask him. 1-800-ask-hank. That's the number to his radio program. Call about 5 pm central time. You say that it's not a difficult concept. If so, then I must think that you don't fully understand it to begin with. The trinity isn't merely a family, a group, or some team wirking together. The Bible describes God as one single being. I used the term "person" because it conveys the same meaning. However, The Bible also describes The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit as each being separate beings, or persons. The Bible further tells us that all three of these eternally distinct beings are the one and the same God. How do you resolve that? There is not one single "thing" in nature that even comes close to reflecting this. This is a concept beyond human understanding. The Trinity isn't a family like yours is. The Tinity isn't a group like AARP or the MOOSE lodge. The Trinity isn't a sports team like the Yankees. Hank describes the Trinity as three "Who's" in one "What". That, I have found, is the simplest and easiest to understand of every analogy, example, and formula that I have ever heard. I have heard the Trinity described as an Egg, A person with multiple personality disorder, a human with multiple responsibilities to multiple people, a sports team, and on and on it goes. All of them have their problems. Even Henegraf's example has it's flaws, but it's also the simplest, and closest to what the Bible teaches. Jesusman |

157 | Explain the Holy Trinity-verysimple form | Numbers | Jesusman | 103541 | ||
The problem in trying to explain the trinity is that it's a concept beyond human understanding. How can something be three distinct persons, yet all be one person? I like how Hank Henegraf puts it. There is only one "What": God. With in that one "What", there are three "Who's": 1) The Father 2) The Son, Jesus Christ 3) The Holy Spirit Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

158 | What is the role of the Spirit in the li | John | Jesusman | 103527 | ||
Hello, I believe that John 14: 16-31 answers this question effectively. Jesus refers to the Holy spirit as the Spirit of Truth, the helper, or the comforter in the KJV. The Spirit is sent to be an aid to the Believer. To remind the Believer what Jesus taught and to reveal the Father to the Believer. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

159 | Is our path already doomed? | Genesis | Jesusman | 103041 | ||
Hello, Welcome to the forum. Instersting question you have there. Let me ask another one to get the thought process going. If God predetermined that Adam and Eve would fall, then doesn't that make God the Author of Evil? You see, without Man's freedom of choice, both to choose to sin and to accept God's grace through faith, then God becomes the author of sin, and salvation is no longer a father and child relationship. Salvation becomes equivilent to a relationship between controller and robot. Adam needed to make the choice to sin. Jesusman |
