161 | How can this be? | Luke 1:15 | kalos | 57075 | ||
How can this be? "He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb." Luke 1:13,15 (ESV) But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. [15] for he will be great before the Lord. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb ("even in and from his mother's womb" Amplified Bible). ------------- "...filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb"? How can this be? I thought one had to be baptized BEFORE he could receive the Holy Spirit, according to advocates of water baptism. Either: a) the Bible is in error here and John the Baptist was NOT "filled with the Holy Spirit while yet in his mother's womb"; or b) somebody forgot to tell John or his parents that you're not supposed to receive the Holy Spirit until you've been properly dunked while the proper "formula" is being said over you; or c) God didn't know that He was violating the gospel according to the water salvation people; or d) None of the above. |

163 | Where are they taken? | Luke 17:34 | kalos | 44672 | ||
NASB Luke 17:34 "I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left." In the passage quoted below, where are they taken? Luke 17:26-37 (ESV) [26] Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. [27] They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. [28] Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, [29] but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all— [30] so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. [31] On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. [32] Remember Lot's wife. [33] Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it. [34] I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. [35] There will be two women grinding together. One will be taken and the other left." [36] [37] And they said to him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the corpse is, there the vultures will gather." |

164 | WHERE are they taken? | Luke 17:34 | kalos | 44979 | ||
WHERE are they taken? (Question re-worded) Question (full): NASB Luke 17:34 "I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left." "One will be taken" implies that one will be taken someWHERE. So the question "WHERE are they taken?" is a reasonable one. In the PLAIN TEXT and in the immediate context (Luke 17:26-37), WHERE are they taken? Note: Luke 17:[36] [37] (ESV) And they said to him, "WHERE, Lord?" He said to them, "WHERE the corpse is, there the vultures will gather" (emphasis added). In the text the question is, "WHERE, Lord?" In the text the answer to the question is, "WHERE the corpse is, there the vultures will gather." I ask: "WHERE the corpse is" -- does this sound like heaven and rewards? Or does it sound like hell and judgment? I ask: WHERE the vultures will gather -- does this sound like heaven and rewards? Or does it sound like hell and judgment? ************* Luke 17:26-37 (ESV) [26] Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. [27] They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

Has everyone seen the following exchange of posts (ID# 46919)? tomn posted: "Words, spoken or written, are ONLY symbols which contain an idea that we are trying to get others to understand. Such as the idea that "the Bible IS the TRUTH" ONLY in that it has words which contain the ideas of God about what is TRUTH. Ideas like as the rain of vs10 has an effect on that which it drops, so will God's ideas have ALL the effect He wants them to have on those who hear His ideas." kalos posted: "It is not true that the Bible merely contains the Word of God. The Bible IS the Word of God." tomn posted: "kalos,please don't reply to me unless you do more then mindlessly repeat what you have been taught." |

168 | Messiah's name in OT period? | John 1:1 | kalos | 111471 | ||
Emmaus, Hank, Makarios, Morant61, EdB and anyone else who cares to reply: I believe with all my heart that the Son of God, the Logos (John 1:1), is eternal, that he was in the beginning. But I sincerely would like to know: technically, when did Jesus become Jesus? I.e., would it be technically correct to refer to the Son of God in the Old Testament as Jesus, since he was not named Jesus until after his incarnation, his birth? Again, I am not doubting the eternality or deity of the Son of God. I am just wondering, is it correct to refer to him in the OT period as Jesus, Messiah or some other name? Thank you in advance for your help. --kalos |

173 | What does "In the name of Jesus" mean? | John 14:14 | kalos | 56267 | ||
'It doesn't take a rocket scientist to draw the conclusion that we are, first, to pray in the name of Jesus, and second, praying in the name of Jesus doesn't mean ending your prayer with the phrase "In the name of Jesus. Amen," because it is never done in the New Testament.' ------------- 'The "name of God" or "in the name of Jesus" means something different than repeating those words. 'Read the New Testament. It says "Anything you ask in my name, that will I do." We have presumed that what that means is that we must add a phrase after ...prayer...in order to make it work. ... 'Just about every time we finish praying we tack this phrase on at the end, "In the name of Jesus. Amen." We do that because we were told to pray in the name of Jesus and God would answer. We expect that in doing so it seals the power of the prayer. I think that is superstitious because praying in the name of Jesus doesn't mean saying, "In the name of Jesus." (...) 'One thing you will notice when you highlight every prayer, every supplication towards God that is uttered in the text of the New Testament is that you will never see a New Testament prayer that ends with the phrase "In Jesus' name. Amen," even though the same text teaches you to pray in Jesus' name. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to draw the conclusion that we are, first, to pray in the name of Jesus, and second, praying in the name of Jesus doesn't mean ending your prayer with the phrase "In the name of Jesus. Amen," because it is never done in the New Testament. 'Ending prayers with that phrase might do nothing whatsoever to the efficacy of your prayer. I even submit that it might be hurting your prayer, depending on what you mean by the phrase. 'What does it mean to pray in the name of someone if it doesn't mean saying, "In the name of..."? Here's what it means. 'The name of someone, in the sense that the Bible authors used it, was what the person stood for, the substance of their character, or their authority . . . When we pray in the name of Jesus . . . what we are doing is acting in [his] authority, in [his] stead, according to [his] command, and consistent with [his] desires.' 'When we pray in the name of Jesus it might be better for us to drop the phrase "In the name of Jesus" altogether because generally we don't mean, "I am praying in the authority of Jesus Christ." You know what we probably mean when we say "In the name of Jesus. Amen" ? Practically speaking, it means the prayer is over. That is the Christian exit. Amen. Translated it means, the prayer is over, let's go do what we were doing, or let's eat. 'There is power in praying in the authority of Jesus Christ, by the authority He has given you, consistent with His character, His desire, and His will. It's like when we say, "Stop in the name of the law." The policeman is saying that because he is standing in the place of the law and speaking on behalf of it. To the degree that he speaks for the law, then he can enforce the law and he has authority. When he steps outside of the law, he has lost his authority even though he still says, "Stop in the name of the law." (...) 'If you are praying in a group and you don't want to leave people mystified as to what is happening, you could just simply say, "The prayer is over, let's eat," or, "We're done, let's go on." The important thing is not what you say with your mouth. Dispense with the empty words. Get rid of them. Instead, approach the throne of God based on the authority of Jesus Christ. If you are thinking that way and that is your attitude, it doesn't matter what you say at the end of the prayer. God will hear you according to His promise.'

If Acts is a blueprint for all church history, where in the Book of Acts does one find INDIVIDUALS SEEKING for the Holy Spirit and EXPECTING TO RECEIVE TONGUES as the sign that He's come? This is a SPECIFIC question that calls for a SPECIFIC answer. Cite the chapter and verse in Acts where one finds INDIVIDUALS SEEKING for the Holy Spirit and EXPECTING TO RECEIVE TONGUES as the sign that He's come. If an answer to this question does not include chapter and verse, then the question has not been answered. [DO077-1] |

Where Does It Say That In Acts? If Acts is a blueprint for all church history, show us: where in the Book of Acts does one find INDIVIDUALS SEEKING for the Holy Spirit and EXPECTING TO RECEIVE TONGUES as the sign that He's come? This is the standard way the "baptism of the Spirit" occurs among Pentecostals, but it has no parallel in Acts. In Acts, the Holy Spirit always falls on entire groups who are not expecting tongues (or any other sign). [Note: This question IS intended for ANYONE who cares to answer it.] [DO077-1] |

178 | Two House Teaching--T or F? | Acts 4:10 | kalos | 166960 | ||
Two House Teaching--T or F? [Defined below is the "Two House Teaching" or "Two House Movement". Do you agree or disagree with this teaching? Why or why not? I'm not testing anyone with this question. I really want to know; what do you all believe about this subject? --Kalos] 'The "Two House Movement" claims that many Gentile Christians, especially in Western Europe and America, are in reality descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of the Northern Kingdom of Israel (the house of Israel), and that now is the prophesied time for them to accept their true identity and join together with their brothers the Jews (the house of Judah) through observance of the Law of Moses, and in this way to bring the Jews to belief in Messiah Jesus. This teaching has several features in common with Anglo-Israelism, which is considered a cult by most Christian groups. '...the real issue here, and what separates the two house teaching from other Christian groups, is their conviction that Gentile Christians (or what they prefer to call Ephraimites or Israelites) are required to obey the Law of Moses in some way.'
