161 | James commentary recommendation? | James | Huron | 142484 | ||
I'm going to be studying James in a couple of weeks. Can anyone recommend a quality commentary on James. (I have been using Eerdman commentaries, not sure if they have one on James or not) |

163 | Does God guarantee prosperity? | James 5:6 | Huron | 150525 | ||
Does God guarantee prosperity to the righteous? Reading from James 5:4-6 it appears that the righteous man was a laborer working in the fields that had his wages witheld by the wealthy landowner. Since he was living hand to mouth, he eventually died. If God did guarantee prosperity to the righteous this could never have occured. Is this a reasonable interpretation to this verse, or am I way off? Thanks! Huron |

164 | Sacking of Jerusalem by Romans in view? | James 5:7 | Huron | 241990 | ||
In this text I see James meaning God the Father when he uses "Lord," and the coming of the Lord being the destruction of Jerusalem in the year 70 A.D. as prophesied by Jesus in Matthew chapter 24. Anyone else ever come to this conclusion? | ||||||
165 | Sacking of Jerusalem by Romans in view? | James 5:7 | Huron | 241993 | ||
Doc, Thanks for the response. I knew that my question was a bit unusual, but there are reasons for my thinking the way I do about this text: James isn't consistent in his use of "Lord" in his letter. Sometimes it clearly means the Father, sometimes the Son, and some times it's ambiguous. Look at the similiar language James 5:7,8 and Matthew: so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door."Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. (Matt 24:33,34) Jesus speaking of the destruction of Jerusalem - Remember the disciples asked him two questions at the beginning of this chapter in Matthew. Jesus predicted something it either never happened, or it happened and no one knew if we apply Paul's use of the language surrounding parousia to James discussion of it. I believe that we have to let James speak for James. Thanks for entertaining the thought. Huron |

Doc, While I don't think my observation about this text really changes anything in the big picture, I did enjoy kicking it around with you. I'll check out the Rev. text you mentioned in context. Regards, Huron |

167 | Jesus' sake rather than in Jesus' name? | 1 Pet 3:14 | Huron | 193814 | ||
In my church the pastor ended the prayer with "for Jesus' sake," rather "in Jesus' name." Should I ask him about this, or am I quibbling over nothing? Thanks! |

168 | baptism and the appeal to God | 1 Pet 3:21 | Huron | 142090 | ||
My take on this is that back during Peter's time people where baptized shortly after conversion. They made a pledge or statement of belief on Christ at the time they were baptized. This was part of the "appeal to God for a good conscience" which is what actually allowed Peter to say that "baptism now saves you." Am I in the ballpark? Thanks! Huron |

170 | The dead in 1 Pet 4:6 | 1 Pet 4:6 | Huron | 142356 | ||
Is it possible to interpret this verse such that it's saying something close to the following: "The gospel has been preached even to those who are now asleep in Christ. Though they are now dead, perhaps due to persecution, they live in the Spirit. Though they are dead now, Christ will have the final say." Thoughts? Huron |

171 | Jude quoting OT? Apochrypha? | Jude 1:9 | Huron | 96803 | ||
Anyone know what OT reference Jude is talking about here? I can't seem to find the original account. Might just be the fact I don't have a complete concordance. Thanks! Huron |

172 | view of millenium -vs- view of rapture? | Rev 20:4 | Huron | 171991 | ||
If you are Amillenial, Premillenial, or Postmillenial, how does that affect your view on the rapture? Would a premillenial believer assume that the rapture would occur before the millenium, and the post millenial believe assume a post millenium rapture? |

173 | Not a Handbook | Rev 22:9 | Huron | 238566 | ||
That's great insight. While we might profit from using the Bible as a handbook, it's real purpose is to point us to Jesus so that we will trust in Him. | ||||||
