161 | Amazement functioned in Mark? | Mark 1:22 | Tamara Brewington | 204588 | ||
My Dearest RC, There is absolutely no offense taken at all. I am very sorry to hear what happened to you and can see how it might color how you view some things, hard to remain unjaded I know.:) Wondering if you would care to enlighten me about the erroneous teachings of Dispensationalism? Not looking for a debate I promise you, I will be open to a new view than mine. Please email me at whatdoyoubelieve@hotmail.com. I am a Dispensationalist who believes in an Historical Futuristic view of Revelation based on Revelation 1:3,9, I am also a Pre-Millenialist. However, there are elements of what people call Dispensationalist, Historical Futurist that I don't agree with as they are currently being taught. As I said, I am not looking to debate, maybe just ask you questions since you have been around for a while and try to understand your views. Just a thought, hat lady |

165 | What is the theme or themes of Luke? | Luke 1:1 | Tamara Brewington | 204582 | ||
Dear Searcher, The threads don't say anything about the theme or themes of Luke whatsoever. Did you check them out before writing me? Is this a well intentioned joke or something? Humor me, just try typing in luke in the search engine up there and you will find a ton of things with the word Luke in them, but none about the theme of Luke. Humor me some more, try typing in the theme of Luke you will find nothing there about the theme of Luke. I tried doing this before I posted my question. Thank you anyway God Bless hat lady |

167 | What do we learn about prayer here? | John 17:1 | Tamara Brewington | 204579 | ||
Dear Steve, Please forgive me, I am interested in knowing what others think on things that I may have learned about but didn't agree with what I learned or wanted a different take on it. And some of my questions had nothing to do with anything other than studying about something and wanting to know what someone else thinks about it. I went through the threads before asking this question... Brain teaser about nouns anyone? Bare bones outlines? An exploration into verse 1-5? I was looking for a bit more than that... Thanks anyway hat lady |

168 | REV 11 The Temple stands yet destroyed | Rev 1:11 | Tamara Brewington | 204577 | ||
Yeah John I do find it very interesting as we are currently near the end of studying Revelation at church on Wednesday nights. I welcome the enlightenment John, I really do... :):):) I have been thinking a bit about elements of the Preterist view and thinking about how Jesus talked about both the fall of Jerusalem and the end times at once in Mathew or so they say, I mean some say... My trouble has been when regarding any type of view that espouses any part of of Revelation past chapters 2 and 3 has happened yet is that the rest of what is supposed to happen rather consecutively seems to have been broken up by more than 2,000 plus years. The problem with saying that the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD is that it is supposed to coincide with an appearing of Christ which did not happen, contrary to the veiws of those who like to say it was Christ appearing as Christ's judgment appearing. I like to take the tack as someone so graciously directed me to do and which my pastor gently reminded me of to not read into a passage double prophesies that the author never intended, or which logically can be refuted based on historical and or Biblical evidence. I like it when you do this John, make me think I mean. :):):) God Bless hat lady |

170 | Amazement functioned in Mark? | Mark 1:22 | Tamara Brewington | 204553 | ||
My dear RC, I always forgive you. I say what follows in respect and love. I am not in college at all, just a Bible school. and yes I went checking although I didn't say that for each question and didn't find an answer so I posted the questions. These are not class questions per say, some of them did not stem from hearing things I did not agree or disagree with in class, but came from looking at some passages. But some of them did come from taking class and being left wondering more about the subject, or just plain frustrated with what I have been taught. But I never, ask something because I need an answer for class and look for the answer here. I often ask forum members what they think about a take on a subject that I already have researched and don't agree with what a professor taught, but not to be able to take that to go pass a class. These are professors who decided to devote their time to a Bible School for lay people. Does it really matter what my motive is in asking a question other than a real desire to study everything about the Bible? As long as I am not tryint to get a grade by doing it what is the harm to anyone? God bless Tamara |

171 | Retain or forgive sins? | John 20:22 | Tamara Brewington | 204552 | ||
Dear Val, I am trying to see your point here... That the if a person believes and unites with Christ in hearing the word and are forgiven, having recieved the Holy Spirit the apostles perhaps agree with them in Christ? And that if a person does not receive the word then the apostles retain their sins because they have rejected Christ? This rather makes a lot of sense to me... I had in mind perhaps if someone went and said Jesus did His works by the power of the devil don't forgive them. Here is what was niggling around in my brain; we know that only Jesus has the power to forgive sins. So how is that He breathes the Holy Spirit on them and gives them the power to forgive or retain the sins of any? He did do it, but then that means He gave them power He has given to no one since. Catholics believe that the laying on of hands confers the power and the authority of the apostles, starting with Peter, upon whom I will build My church, and that these powers include the forgiveness or retaining of sins. And this is why they confess to the priests and not to Jesus. I believe the apostles may actually have been given the authority to decide as you point out if someone is saved and forgiven, or that Jesus actually gave them the power under His authority to forgive or retains sins, but only to them and not to any successors. I don't know what you think about this and realize that I should be doing some foot work on this in terms of demonstrating that the Bible states that only Jesus has the power to forgive sins. But why would Jesus give them the power to do something only He could do? It is not really necessary for anyone to see if anyone forgives them other than Jesus. But the fact remains Jesus told them to go do something very specific. God Bless, Tamara |

172 | Interpretative Schools? | Rev 1:1 | Tamara Brewington | 204546 | ||
Hi, Dear Val, Perhaps you can see from what I found by googeling the words why I was asking Doc if he was joking? But perhaps this is not the only partial preterist view out there. I went first to your site preceptaustin.org, then I went to gotquestionss.org, then I went to wikipedia, but eventually I setteled on somehthing bigger I found while googeling from a non discript site. The jist of what I could get out of it was that Partial Preterism is about; Those who hold to partial preterism believe that the prophecies in Daniel, Matthew 24, and Revelation, with the exception of the last 2-3 chapters of Revelation, have already been fulfilled and were fulfilled no later than the first century A.D. However, the partial preterist view may not have good biblical support. Those who hold this view do not interpret these Scripture passages books in a normal sense, but rather interpret them allegorically. As an example, Daniel 9:26-27 refers to Christ rather than to the antichrist beast who will appear in Revelation, for the beast, see 11:7 and chapters 13 thru 17, with 13 being quite extensive. In Daniel 9:24-27, Daniel is given a message from God by Gabriel 9:21 Daniel is told that God had decreed 70 weeks for his people, the Israelites, and that these 70 weeks were to 1 finish transgression; 2 make an end of sin; 3 make atonement for iniquity; 4 bring in everlasting righteousness; 5 seal up vision and prophecy; and 6 anoint the most holy place. Per Daniel 9:25-26, 62 plus 7 of these weeks 69 times 7 is 483 years passed and ended with the crucifixion of Christ Messiah will be cut off, v.26, with 1 week 7 years left to finish God's decree. Verse 26 also says, The people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. This speaks of the Roman Empire destroying Jerusalem and the temple, which occurred in A.D. 70. It should be noted that the prince was yet to come; only the people of the prince were the ones who destroyed Jerusalem. This also tells us that the antichrist/beast will come from a future revived Roman Empire. Verse 27 tells us more about this future world ruler. It says that this prince will make a covenant with many for one week, the 70th week is 7 years. Halfway through these seven years, he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering. This indicates that temple worship will be revived by Israel in the latter time, and he will put a stop to it. The last two phrases in verse 27 are what Christ referred to in Matthew 24:15. Christ called this future ruler the abomination of desolation. From Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, and Revelation 13, we discover that this ruler will set himself in the future temple, proclaiming himself to be God, and demanding that the world worship him. Revelation 13:5 also confirms that it will happen at the midpoint of the seven-year tribulation period, for it says that he will be given authority for 42 months which equals 3 and 1 half years. Those who hold to partial preterism twist that which is recorded in Daniel 9:26-27, saying that it refers to Christ, not to the antichrist beast. A normal reading of Daniel 9:24-27, Matthew 24, and Revelation 13 will clear up a lot of the confusion. Those who hold to partial preterism also do not read Matthew 24 in a normal sense. Christ spoke of the destruction of the temple in A.D. 70 24:2. But much of what He spoke of did not occur in A.D. 70. Note that Daniel foretold that the people of the prince to come would destroy the temple and Jerusalem. Christ speaks not of the people, but of the prince to come, the abomination of desolation. Christ describes that future time as one of great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened Matthew 24:21-22. Christ also says, Immediately after the distress of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory Matthew 24:29-30. In order for the events of Matthew 24:15-30 to have already occurred, Christ would have returned bodily in A.D. 70, He did not. The partial preterist believes that this does not refer to a bodily return of Christ, but rather an appearing of His judgment. This is not what a normal reading of the text would lead anyone to believe. Tamara |

175 | Embrace the truth and rejoice! | 2 Tim 2:15 | Tamara Brewington | 204484 | ||
Oh No my dear your question was crystal clear! Sometimes we can't come up with the right wording for a scriptur we know exists. Don't be discouraged now, it is out there, or in there rather. You will find it, in between things I am going to keep on searching for it, you just have to try and supplant some words for others there in your search, words that mean the same thing. Here is what you could try with that search engine, try typing in the word God. Now, granted that will take you to a whole lot of scripture, but if you are sure that the word God is in your scriputre, then you will find what you are looking for. So far I tried, the word rejoice, and the word truth and the word embrace. You can rule those out if you want too. You were really clear, just keep searching! God Bless, Tamara |

178 | What does God want other than 'obedience | Bible general Archive 4 | Tamara Brewington | 204440 | ||
Welcome! Just adding my two cents in Try these Mathew 22:37-39 the two great commandments centering around love I John 4:15,16 about the need to confess Jesus and believing in the love of God and that abiding in love is abiding in God and God abides in the believer. The others are right too, we were created to worship God and to give Him glory. God Bless, Tamara |

179 | Salvation message of Jesus | Mark | Tamara Brewington | 204439 | ||
Lookinforacity, This is Tamara, I am going to jump in on this one, there is an answer to your dillema here and it lies in the nature of what is called progressive revelation. Jesus, when He was walking around on the earth was telling people to repent of their sins and to believe that the kingdom of God was in their midst and to belive that He was God - that was the first and the only gospel message that was being preached by Himself and the apostles before He was rejected and crucified. Then He was rejected, that message was rejected and He was crucified and then resurrected. He went and showed Himself to the disciples and told them to wait for the Holy Spirit to come on them with power so that they could go be witnesses of Him (spread the good news). The disciples after Pentecost began to preach a new message than the one they were preaching before Jesus died. This is called progressive revelation - the new message being preached by the apostles and disciples became the repentance of sin, the crucifixion and the resurrection. Both messages had the power to save, it is just that the message changed in nature a bit. John is absolutely right to tell you that the gospel Jesus was referring to in the passage you originaly cited was the message of salvation, it was just a bit different than it is now. There are several areas of viewing the Bible that constitute what the word gospel encompasses and each one of these views leads or has lead to salvation and is the gospel. You can't separate the history from the message and you can't separate the work and words of Jesus to save people while He was alive from the message we now preach or the history of how it got that way. It all fits together into one message delivered in three different ways. A)There are three definitions of what we can call the good news or the gospel; 1.The Gospel as the whole life and death story of Jesus culminating in a final proof that He is God. 2.The Gospel as the message we preach to: demonstrate that people are sinners, demonstrate the need for salvation, present the means of salvation. 3.The Gospel as the ministry of Jesus. B)A break down of what A) is talking about using scripture; The Gospel As The Whole Life And Death Story Of Jesus Culminating In The Final Proof That He Is God The Early Years Of Jesus Mathew 1:1 – 4:11, Mark 1:1 – 13, Luke 1:5 – 2:52 Jesus Begins His Ministry Mathew 4:12 – 22, Luke 3:22 – 4:15, 1:19 – 4:45 The Galilean And Judean Ministry Mathew 4:23 – 20:34, Mark 1:14 – 10:52, Luke 4:16 – 19:27, John 4:54 – 12:11 Jesus At Jerusalem Mathew 21:9 – 27:66, Mark 11:1 – 15:57, Luke 19:28 – 23:56, John 12:12 – 19:42 The Resurrection And Ascension Mathew 28:1 – 28:20, Mark 16:1 – 16:20, Luke 24:1 – 24:53, John 20:1 0 21:25 The Gospel As The Message We Preach The Mandate To Preach The Gospel Mathew 10:7, Mark 16:15, Acts 1:8, II Timothy 4:2 Romans 1:3, 4, I Corinthians 15:1 – 4, II Timothy 2:8, I Corinthians 1:23, Acts 2:23, 24, Acts 10:39, 40, Acts 4:2, Acts 4:12, Acts 9:20, Acts 17:3 Demonstrate That People Are Sinners Romans 3:10, Romans 11:31, Psalm 14:1, Psalm 51:5, Ecclesiastes 7:20 Demonstrate The Need For Salvation Ephesians 2:1, Ephesians 4:18, Hebrews 10:31, John 8:24 Psalm 7:11, Revelation 20:11 Present The Means Of Salvation Romans 10:9, 10, John 3:3, 5, Acts 16, 30, Acts 17:30, The Gospel As The Ministry Of Jesus The Sermon On The Mount Mathew 5:1 – 7:29, Luke 6:20 - 49 The Parables Mathew 5:14 – 16, 7:24 – 27, 9:16, 17, 13:3 – 23, 13:24 – 30, 13:31, 32, 13:33, 13:44, 13:45, 46, 13:47 – 50, 18:12 – 14, 18:23 – 35, 20:1 – 16, 21:33 – 45, 22:2 – 14, 24:32 – 44, 25:1 - 13, 25:14 – 30, Mark 4:26 – 29, 13:33 – 37, Luke 7:41 – 43, 10:30 – 37, 11:5 – 13, 12:16 – 21, 12:35 – 40, 12:42 – 48, 13:6 – 9, 14:16:24 – 35, 15:8 – 10, 15:11 – 32, 16:1 – 13, 16:19 – 31, 17:7 – 10, 18:1 – 8, 18:9 – 14, 19:11 – 27.
