Dear Doc, Yes, I think he already has one, he has quite a collection of books, and I'm pretty sure I remember him mentioning it. :-) If not, I'll be sure to ask him to buy one. It's really been very fortunate and providential for me since I've joined that Church, he's given me quite a few books to read already. Too bad I'm such a slow reader. :-( Thanks Doc! :-) John |

Setonahill, don't get your back up friend, I wasn't accusing you of assuming, just admonishing not to. :-) You are the one who asked if we can assume, and I only gave you advice that it's not a good idea to make assumptions. And I reiterate that scripture does not say whether they were jews or not, so I don't know what else to give you to answer your question. And since you put me to task (Acts 13:14; 16:13; 17:2) John |

Personaly I don't see that being so clear. It says that they were not a people meaning not a people of God or His elect. John Gill has this to say about verse 10 --"Ver. 10. Which in time were not a people,.... A "Loammi" being put upon them; see Ho 1:9 to which the apostle here refers: God's elect, whether among Jews or Gentiles, were, from eternity, his chosen people, and his covenant people; and, as such, were given to Christ, and they became his people, and his care and charge; and he saved them by his obedience, sufferings, and death, and redeemed them to himself, a peculiar people: but then, before conversion, they are not a people formed by God for himself, and his praise; nor Christ's willing people, either to be saved by him, or to serve him; nor are they, nor can they be truly known by themselves, or others, to be the people of God: the Syriac version gives the true sense of the phrase, by rendering it "these who before were not" Nwbvx, "reckoned or accounted a people"; that is, by others:" John |

You got me there. Im just quoting John Gill. But what he does say in english seems to say it well enough. :-) | ||||||
1690 | Jewish believers or not | 1 Pet 1:1 | stjohn | 224495 | ||
So I guess your saying it clearly speaks of gentiles must be out in left field somewhere. Which is correct? Who is doing the assuming? I think I'd rely on Gill's interpretation. Thanks John |

Dear Brother, BradK: That makes very good sense to me! Excellent post, Brother! I don't see how we can not see the truth in these verses and that part of the message in Romans, (Paul makes it very clear) or the fact, if we are 'honest' with ourselves, we know full well there is a war going on! God bless John |

"Heaven is attracting to itself whatever is congenial to its nature, is Enriching itself by the spoils of earth, and collecting within its capacious bosom whatever is pure, permanent and divine." Robert Hall I wonder if Joe and Rob were related? :-) |

1695 | who will receive the crown of glory | 1 Pet 5:4 | stjohn | 205960 | ||
Hi Tam: I kinda like the part where He gets them back! After all, they are His, anyway... Rev 4:10-11 :-) John |

1696 | who will receive the crown of glory | 1 Pet 5:4 | stjohn | 205979 | ||
Thanks Tam... I really don't much get into the philosophy of it, but yes, metaphorical crowns, would fit the three pictures of "Stephanos" or, perhaps a wreath would be an apt depiction for a prize to the winner(s). Nonetheless, the victory is His. John |

1697 | who will receive the crown of glory | 1 Pet 5:4 | stjohn | 205981 | ||
Tam: Added Note: post 205966: I'm not sure if your question(s) are rhetorical. They all conjure an image of His glory, and harken me always back to Him, being the rightful owner of it all: The Glory, is His: The Life, is His: The Righteousness, is His: But Ah! The Rejoicing, belongs to us all, that are in HIM! By the way, I think it was Barns (spelling?) that saw the, Stephanos, rev 9:7's (gold crowns, or, crowns of gold) as yellow turbans? I cant figure where he got that from. No matter, to each his own metaphor, I suppose. John |

1698 | can Satan plant thoughts into our minds? | 1 Pet 5:8 | stjohn | 214330 | ||
Dear sister Val, We should be careful not to make so bold an assertion that Satin can actually put thoughts in our head. Though Satin can certainly have a great influence on our thoughts; there is nothing in Scripture that say's he is omnitiant; Only God has this attribute. Satin cannot read or hear our thought's; though he is very powerful, he is still just a fallen Angel, and Angels do not have this power. So there is really no Scriptural reason to see that he can actually put thought's into our minds either. Here are some commentary that I hope will shed some light on this subject. About Acts 5:3 John Gill has this to say: "why hath Satan filled thine heart?" or emboldened thee, given thee so much spirit and courage to act in such an impudent and audacious manner; so the phrase is used in Esther 7:5 see the Septuagint there, and often in Talmudic writings. And on v 4 he writes: "Why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart?" for though Satan had an hand in it, and greatly solicited him to it, and spirited him up to do it, yet in conjunction with his own heart; and perhaps it began there, which Satan helped forward. It was not so of Satan as to excuse the wickedness of his heart. It was owing partly to the sin of covetousness, which reigned in him, and partly to a desire of vain glory, and being thought a very religious man, that he acted such a part, and was so notoriously guilty of lying and hypocrisy. Please note in v 4 Peter asks the question: Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God." So we ca see from scripture that Ananias actually thought of it quite on his own. And also about Ananias and Sapphira's sin, Matthew Henry writes: They were covetous of the wealth of the world, and distrustful of God and his providence. They thought they might serve both God and mammon. They thought to deceive the apostles. The Spirit of God in Peter discerned the principle of unbelief reigning in the heart of Ananias. But whatever Satan might suggest, he could not have filled the heart of Ananias with this wickedness had he not been consenting. Please note too that he twice repeats the phrase, "They Thought" John |

1699 | can Satan plant thoughts into our minds? | 1 Pet 5:8 | stjohn | 214337 | ||
Vintage, Sorry for my misspelling. The word is omnitiant, and it means: God has complete knowledge of all things, He sees/perceives, all things, He has complete understanding/cognizance of, all things; there is nothing that is hidden from Him. The context I was using it was; In order for Satin to put thought's in our mind, he would have to know our thoughts... He does not, only, God, can do that. Only God is, omnitiant. John |
