1741 | What would make this allogory? | 1 John 3:2 | stjohn | 214243 | ||
Do I attended an interracial Church? Not too much, mostly white, though our pastor is half Mexican and has an African American uncle, and there are a few Asians and a few other Mexicans and some of Jewish descent. I honestly hadn't payed that close attention to that. Now that I think about it though, we are more mixed then I would have thought. I'm not trying to paint myself to be some kind of wonderful insightful kind of guy, (I'm most often not) but I do sometimes tend to pay attention to what people say about people, and check it out for myself. For instance, I've often heard that Mexicans are lazy, but I've worked with many of them, and I haven't really met that lazy one yet. And, the people who say those kind of things, are usually siting on their butt doing nothing but complain. I've heard too, that Blacks are inherently dishonest, but most that I know are markedly just as honest as anyone else, and hardworking too, I might add. And most of the Jews I know are fairly generous and certainly not any more stingy then the general population, though many would have us believe they are cheep. Of course there are those who are a discredit to any race or culture, and complainers tend to like to focus on just them. And I believe I'm not alone in this way of thinking. There are far too many in government and on the media who like to focus on the negative and say we are still so very divided, but I wish they would just shut up! Anyway, thats Just few of my observations. Just a friendly reminder bibleman, this is a Bible study and though I don't think anyone minds too much in our getting to know one another a little bit; After all fellowship is an important part of being a Christian and our Bible study should reflect that. But we do need to try to keep this site focused on Bible study as that is the wishes of our host and is clearly spelled out in the TOU. So here's a passage for us to contemplate; let us strive to emulate and imitate Paul, as he strove to imitate Christ. Phillippians 3:8-16 8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— 10 h that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. Straining Toward the Goal 12 Not that I have already l obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. 16 Only let us hold true to what we have attained. ESV John |

1745 | How many angels fell with Satan | Revelation | stjohn | 195012 | ||
Hi Michael, It's no big deal but, I'm wondering what rev 12:4 and Dan 8:10 have to do with how many of Satins minions fell with him? Rev 12:4 speaks of one third of the (stars) being swept away with the dragon's tail, and Dan 8:10 says that the horn of a goat knocks out (some stars).... Am I missing something, Is there a conection with stars and fallin angles? God bless John |

Hi holydiver, Welcome to the forum! Can you show in Scripture please, where there are 'other', brides? Don't bother, Christ has but 'one', bride. The story goes, that there were 10 'virgins', not, brides. Matt 25:1 God bless John |

Mike, I think you did a good job of explaining his position, and I think right along the same lines as you do. A lot of times we get a good teacher, who is teaching truth, but uses Scripture and analogy that just doesn't fit the situation. Thats why it is so important to teach expositionaly and not topically. When we teach expositionaly, we teach what the Scripture is showing us, i.e. we let Scripture interpret Scripture. When we teach topically, we have a position, and then we look for Scripture that backs it up. The problem with that is, we then use Scripture out of context and, the meaning gets twisted and, then we lose the intended meaning of said Scripture. Another thing is, we then don't really learn anything form Scripture, that we didn't think we already knew. John |

Awesome! My thanks to Barnes, and to you, Jeff, for providing us with that answer. I had to read it twice, but that just made it twice as nice when I finally grasped it's depth; and I think you may be right, I have my doubts that a better answer could be had! When we earnestly contemplate the awesomeness of the events that were unfolding before John, it truly boggles the imagination! It is but a little book, but behind it's seals are truths that will effect all of God's creation from the beginning of time and into all eternity; and yet, there is no one in heaven or on earth who can open it. John was probably in his nineties, and had spent all of his adult life following the Lord and doing His will. And John being the last of the twelve, so privileged to have spent three plus years beholding the face of the Lord Himself in the flesh; and being taught by Him personally. One might indeed say that perhaps John had a greater faith then any other man that ever lived, save perhaps our Lord, the man Jesus Christ Himself. I believe John had been waiting for the Lords return, and you could say by reading his and other of the Apostles writings that, he fully expected the Lord to return at any time. John must have contemplated many times, his whole life long, what it would be like and what should happen when our Lord finally returned. And here it was before him, and yet, no one, but no one, could open the seals that revealed this truth. John |

Amen! How indeed... can words alone, describe the indescribable? Thanks again Jeff. I have all my short life long had trouble forming words around even the most mundane of thoughts. It has only been a few even shorter years sense I've been saved, and only with the help of the Holy Spirit that, I've been even mildly successful. :-) All Praise and glory to God! John |

1753 | devil stil active, destroyed by death | Revelation | stjohn | 230352 | ||
Hi mancub, and welcome, I'm not sure, but I think that the Bible does not record the devil or Satan's death anywhere that I can remember. Can you please show me or tell me where to find in scripture that Jesus kills satan? Like I said I'm not sure, but I don't recall reading that, though if you find it, I'd appreciate it, thanks.-John | ||||||

Hi Tamara, I'm not lookin, lol I think your confusion may be that you saw someone here say that they couldn't paste a url address, but that is because some of them have characters that this site will not allow, not that it's against the rules. That other site sounds like a real cacophony by the way! NO thanks, lol I think I'll stay right here! Shalom John |

Dear Sister, Tamara: Now I know full well, that I fall short and fail, more then most, if not all: but there are many here, (myself included) that strive and work very hard indeed, to keep this place, SBF, a place were we can come to study The Word of God, with the honor, dignity, and respect, that it deserves. And to extend that same said, Honor, dignity, and respect, to all those who come here to study His Holy Word. Tamara, I am not judging dear Sister, but by your, obvious repetition, of a word that your Sister, in, Christ Our Lord, may have found offensive, you have demonstrated that perhaps, that was an off handed apology. I am saddened by this, Tamara, and if I were you I would offer our dear Sister, Val, a little better then a tongue in cheek apology. Shalom and God bless John p.s. it was not that the word was slang, that was offensive, it was that the slang word that you used, was offensive. It had nothing at all to do with the definition of the word itself. sheesh.. |
