181 | is matted hair inappropriate for woman | 1 Pet 3:3 | Radioman2 | 86169 | ||
Your adornment must not be merely external--braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; 1 Pet 3:3 (NASB) AMPLIFIED 1 Peter 3:3 Let not yours be the [merely] external adorning with [elaborate] interweaving and knotting of the hair, the wearing of jewelry, or changes of clothes; If this verse prohibited women from braiding the hair and wearing gold jewelry, then it would also prohibit them from putting on dresses. Please read the verse in 1 Peter 3. Also notice the use of the word "merely" in the verse. |

182 | What could I possiblt do that's greater? | John 14:12 | Radioman2 | 85965 | ||
greater works John 14:10-12 New English Translation 14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you, I do not speak on my own initiative, but the Father residing in me performs his miraculous deeds.[8] 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me, but if you do not believe me, believe because of the miraculous deeds themselves. 14:12 I tell you the solemn truth, the person who believes in me will perform the miraculous deeds that I am doing, and will perform greater deeds[16] than these, because I am going to the Father. '[8] translator's note. Or "his mighty acts"; Grk "his works." 'study note. Miraculous deeds is most likely a reference to the miraculous signs Jesus had performed, which he viewed as a manifestation of the mighty acts of God. Those he performed in the presence of the disciples served as a basis for faith (although a secondary basis to their personal relationship to him; see the following verse). '[16] translator's note Grk "greater works." 'study note. What are the greater deeds that Jesus speaks of, and how is this related to his going to the Father? It is clear from both John 7:39 and 16:7 that the Holy Spirit will not come until Jesus has departed. After Pentecost and the coming of the Spirit to indwell believers in a permanent relationship, believers would be empowered to perform even greater deeds than those Jesus did during his earthly ministry. When the early chapters of Acts are examined, it is clear that, from a numerical standpoint, the deeds of Peter and the other Apostles surpassed those of Jesus in a single day (the day of Pentecost). On that day more were added to the church than had become followers of Jesus during the entire three years of his earthly ministry. And the message went forth not just in Judea, Samaria, and Galilee, but to the farthest parts of the known world. This understanding of what Jesus meant by "greater deeds" is more probable than a reference to "more spectacular miracles." Certainly miraculous deeds were performed by the apostles as recounted in Acts, but these do not appear to have surpassed the works of Jesus himself in either degree or number.'

185 | OT Laws - still apply today? | Lev 20:9 | Radioman2 | 85661 | ||
"...the law cannot be altogether invalid since the New Testament affirms its abiding applicability." The Law under the New Covenant. [Note: The following is an excerpt from the article "The Law". It is recommended that you go to the website given here and read the entire article.)] 'The New Testament's statements about Old Testament law are difficult to harmonize. On the one hand, some New Testament statements indicate that under the new covenant the whole law is in some sense abrogated (Rom 6:14, "you are not under law" Rom 10:4, "Christ is the end of the law" ).' ["For sin will not have authority over you; because you are not under legalism but under grace." Romans 6:14 (Complete Jewish Bible, David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1998) "For the goal at which the Torah (Law) aims is the Messiah, who offers righteousness to everyone who trusts." Romans 10:4 (CJB)] (...) 'On the other hand, the law cannot be altogether invalid since the New Testament affirms its abiding applicability. "All Scripture is … useful" (2 Tim 3:16-17), including Old Testament laws. Jesus came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it (Matt 5:17-20). The law is the embodiment of truth that instructs (Rom 2:18-19). It is "holy" and "spiritual, " making sin known to us by defining it; therefore, Paul delights in it (Rom 7:7-14,22). The law is good if used properly (1 Tim 1:8), and is not opposed to the promises of God (Gal 3:21). Faith does not make the law void, but the Christian establishes the law (Rom 3:31), fulfilling its requirements by walking according to the Spirit (Rom 8:4) through love (Rom 13:10). When Paul states that women are to be in submission "as the Law says" (1 Cor 14:34) or quotes parts of the Decalogue (Rom 13:9), and when James quotes the law of love (2:8 from Lev 19:18) or condemns partiality, adultery, murder, and slander as contrary to the law (2:9, 11; 4:11), and when Peter quotes Leviticus, "Be holy, because I am holy" (1 Peter 1:16; from Lev 19:2), the implication is that the law, or at least part of it, remains authoritative. (...) 'The New Testament writers also apply the principles in the law. From Deuteronomy 25:4 ("Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out grain"), Paul derives a principle that workers ought to be rewarded for their labors and applies that principle in the case of Christian workers (1 Cor 9:9-14). In 1 Timothy 5:18, Paul again quotes Deuteronomy 25:4, this time in parallel with a saying of Jesus (Matt 10:10) as if both are equally authoritative. Likewise, the principle of establishing truth by two or three witnesses (Deut 19:15), originally limited to courts, is applied more broadly to a church conference (2 Cor 13:1). The principle that believers are not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers is derived from a law concerning the yoking animals (2 Cor 6:14; cf. Deut 22:10). 'In 1 Corinthians 5:1-5, 13, Paul affirms on the basis of Leviticus 18:29 that incest, a capital offense in the Old Testament, is immoral and deserves punishment. A person practicing incest in the church must be excommunicated to maintain the church's practical holiness. Paul maintains the law's moral principle, yet in view of the changed redemptive setting, makes no attempt to apply the law's original sanction.' ------------- Bibliography. G.

187 | The Rich Man and Lazarus... | Luke 16:23 | Radioman2 | 85508 | ||
Lazarus and the Rich Man, Luke 16:19-31 'In Luke 16:19-31 is the story of Lazarus and the rich man. Basically, Lazarus is a poor man who suffers during life. The rich man is, of course, rich. They both die. The rich man goes to Hades. Lazarus goes to Abraham's bosom, another term for paradise. In Hades, the rich man lifts up his eyes and sees Lazarus far off. He cries out to Abraham and asks for mercy because he is in agony in flame. Abraham says no. Then the rich man asks if someone from the dead were to rise and go tell his brothers not to come to this terrible place. Abraham teaches him that that will not be done either. 'Some say that this is a parable. However, if it is, it is unique because no other parable actually names a person. It isn't a story. It is history. It really happened. But many who believe in no consciousness after death will say it is still a parable. The question then is, if it is, What is it teaching? If hell fire is false and if self-awareness after death is also false, then Jesus is using false doctrines to teach a truth. Parables illustrate truth. If it is a parable what does the consciousness after death symbolize? Also, what does the agony in flame symbolize? Are they not real? Of course they are. 'Conclusion 'Hell is a real place. It is not mere unconsciousness. It is not temporal. It is eternal torment. Perhaps that is why Jesus spoke more of hell than heaven and spent so much time warning people not to go there. After all, if people just stopped existing, why warn them? If it was temporal, they'd get out in a while. But if it were eternal and conscious, then the warning is strong. 'Jesus said, "And if your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out, and throw it from you; for it is better for you that one of the parts of your body perish, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30"And if your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off, and throw it from you; for it is better for you that one of the parts of your body perish, than for your whole body to go into hell," (Matt. 5:29-30).'

190 | The "short " ending of Mark? | Mark 16:8 | Radioman2 | 85368 | ||
Just Read Mark: [Thank you for a truly excellent, stimulating question. The apparent discrepancy between Matthew 28 and Mark 16 is something I had never before noticed. Thanks for pointing it out. As a result, I went digging for an answer, found one at www.carm.org, and am quoting it here. --Radioman2] You write: "The angel proclaims the resurrection, but the 3 women fail to spread the news. This contradicts the other gospels. It also makes me question the truth of the witness: how reliable is their story if they, for instance, don't proclaim the news until much later? Is there something being overlooked here?" 'Did or did not the women tell what happened? 'Matt 28:8; Mark 16:8; Luke 24:9; John 20:18 '1. They told what happened '(Matthew 28:8) - "And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples." '(Luke 24:9) - "and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest." '(John 20:18) - "Mary Magdalene *came, announcing to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and that He had said these things to her." '2. They said nothing '(Mark 16:8) - "And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had gripped them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid." 'The best explanation is that the women initially said nothing (Mark 16:8) and then later told the disciples what they saw (Matthew 28:8; Luke 24:9).' [Matthew 28:8-10 (ESV) So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. [9] And behold, Jesus met them and said, "Greetings!" And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. [10] Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me."] 'It would make sense that they were frightened and didn't know what to do or say. But then later, of course, they spoke up. The John 20:18 account is chronologically later than the other references and is not relevant in this difficulty.

191 | What sacrifices? | Jer 7:22 | Radioman2 | 85152 | ||
21 This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "Away with your burnt offerings and sacrifices! Eat them yourselves! 22 When I led your ancestors out of Egypt, it was not burnt offerings and sacrifices I wanted from them. 23 This is what I told them: 'Obey me, and I will be your God, and you will be my people. Only do as I say, and all will be well!' 24 "But my people would not listen to me. They kept on doing whatever they wanted, following the stubborn desires of their evil hearts. They went backward instead of forward. 25 From the day your ancestors left Egypt until now, I have continued to send my prophets--day in and day out. 26 But my people have not listened to me or even tried to hear. They have been stubborn and sinful--even worse than their ancestors." Jeremiah 7:21-26 :: New Living Translation (NLT) |

194 | Why did Christ go after saying no. | John 7:10 | Radioman2 | 84998 | ||
'Did Jesus lie and go up to the feast or not? John 7:8 and John 7:10 'No, he did not go to the feast '(John 7:8) - "Go up to the feast yourselves; I do not go up to this feast because My time has not yet fully come." 'Yes, He did go to the feast. '(John 7:10) - "But when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as it were, in secret." 'As with many alleged Bible contradictions, when the context is examined the answer becomes clear. John 7 starts off with Jesus walking in Galilee. 'His brothers said in verses 3-4, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may behold Your works which You are doing. 4"For no one does anything in secret, when he himself seeks to be known publicly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world." 'We see that Jesus' brothers wanted Him to go into Judea publicly; but they did not believe who He was, "For not even His brothers were believing in Him," (v. 5). 'Jesus responded by telling them to go up themselves because His time had not yet come. The statement "His time had not yet come" refers to both Jesus revealing Himself to the world as well as the time of his death which the Pharisees would later arrange. He sent His brothers on their way. 'Then in verse 9 it says that Jesus stayed in Galilee. We do not know how long He stayed there but it is evident that Jesus did so for a while and then decided to go up to Judea in secret. "But when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as it were, in secret." 'So we see in verse 8 that Jesus meant that he was not going up to the feast "right then and there." Jesus then stayed for a time in Galilee and later went up to Judea. There is no problem. 'Furthermore, it is not a lie when a person decides to do one thing and then later changes his mind to do another. A lie would mean that Jesus knew He was going to do one thing but then deliberately said he would not with the intention of deceiving people. This is not the case and the text doesn't support it' (http://www.carm.org/diff/John7_8.htm). |
