181 | Define wine, please? | Rev 17:2 | Tamara Brewington | 204399 | ||
Dear Lionheart, I have been reading Colossians now for a few days and am wondering if you took my reply the first time to read when I said OK to mean I was offended, or being short with you. That was not the intent, I was trying to let it go Lionheart, not be short tempered. 1)keep seeking that which is above. still doing this. 2)put aside all anger, malice, wrath, abusive speech, slander. was never angry just disapointed and dismayed and did not use abusive speech nor slander anyone. 3)put on compassion, kindess, humility, gentleness, patience, bearing with one another, forgive one another. I did stumble a bit there, but examined myself and tried to the best of my ability to come around to the right veiw of things with all of your help. Why am I seen as not having come around yet? Open to further instruction from you on this... 4)whatever you do, do your work heartily giving thanks to God, fearing the Lord. this is why I am here and continue to participate. Is there somethig you see that I am doing that I need to be corrected about? I am open, feel free to be specific please... I sent something to John as he felt it necessary to enlighten me for the second or third time about what he calls speculation. I replied that all areas of Bible study are ultimatel about Christ and the final message of the Bible. I am interested in all the various facets of how that message progressed, the players and the stage, the authors intent, their audiences, how they differently treat the same subject, as well as every thing that the Bible has to say about all of its aspects and information. There is no part of what the Bible says about anything that is not profitable to study. You said yourself that II Timothy 2:15 was a very important point.It takes every aspect of exegesis to do that, the critical forms; redaction, literary, textual, grammatical and others are all part of the process. Not everything is self explanatory without using the different parts to arrive at a clear picture of seemingly differing accounts, use of words, or scriptures. If we have moved beyond the elementary things then the central message qualifies as an elementay thing as is laying on of hands and some very complicated areas of theological study that Hebrews mentions in that scripture. Some of the things mentioned there are being milk are pretty deep. I think according to the qualifications, we are all somewhere in between milk and meat. We see washings laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, repentance of dead works, eternal judgments. Two of those things are not simple doctrines or teachings. After receiving some messages that something should be dropped, to one of which I replied, I can see that you are not interested in a rebuttal, which is a straight forward observation and not an attack, or an insult or slander, others have chosen to discuss the original matter some more and do not agree with that view, that it should be dropped. I think as I tried to point out to John that there is room for diversity in the body of Christ and that people view things from their own theological lens. I don't think subject matter itself, as long as it is about something in the Bible, is necessarily frivolous material. And I don't think that we should all just be requried to view an aspect of studying a subject according the the rules of exegesis as speculation. There are others here who would agree on this. I am more than willing to stop exploring a matter with someone who does not see the point, that does not mean there is no point, just that there is not one to them. I think it is fair to say that my shorter replies left you all wondering if I was harboring ill will, I was only trying to drop it, not insult. Forgive me won't you? God Bless, the hat lady |

182 | How do these accounts reconcile? | Bible general Archive 4 | Tamara Brewington | 204396 | ||
Dear John thanks for the further clarification as to where you are at. This is not an adomonition to you John, just an observation. Lionheart said something interesting to someone about reconciling things... He said that it is important to reconcile what appear to be conflicting accounts, or scriptures because of what Paul was saying to Timothy; II Timothy 2:15, 3:16,17 and II Peter 1:19-21. I hear you about not speculating and that you don't engage in it. But there is nothing unBiblical (not that you were saying there was) about attempting to reconcile accounts, or apparently conflicting scriptures based on who the author was, his intent in writing, who his audience was, what the subject matter was and how different authors in the Bible address the subject. It is all part of proper exegesis John (not trying to push you around here, sincerely). I am not offended, every one sees things through the central motif of their own theologial lens... I hear your concern about the over arching message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. There are plenty of concerns a person could legitmately have about the Bible than just the end message. The Bible has a lot of parts and there are a whole lot of areas of study concerning the Bible that go into varying aspects of the message. The history in the Bible, the actors in the play, the long progression of how the end message came to be, and on and on. I personally am interested in every facet of these things as they all pretain to or have bearing on the central message you are concerned with. There is room in the body of Christ for a great amount of diversity in all things pretaining to Christ and everything you could possibly study about the Bible is ultimately about Christ. I respect your point of view and it accounts for the content of a whole lot of your replies in answer to some of my questions and notes. Thank you for the clarification for the second time (I think). Ephesians 1:9,10 He has made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fulness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heaven and things in the earth. All things will be summed up in Christ, us together as members of one another and the body of Christ and each of our own dedication to understanding the word of God to the full. God Bless, the hat lady |

Yep, crack the books, to hit the mark, works every time, glory to God only. II Timothy 4:2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. Don't ever stop teaching people how to learn Pastor Moran. God Bless, the hat lady |

185 | NT canon in 1st century or 350 AD? | Ps 119:89 | Tamara Brewington | 204391 | ||
Wow, camping, great! Haven't gone since I lived in Washington state as a kid! Thanks a whole buch for getting back to me on this. I was required to go give my pastor an explanation of what my theology class was taught like and this came up. I did go on line trying to study and found out there was a letter from Athanasius that had a complete list of our present NT canon by 365 AD. What I was being taught in class was way off. I was being taught that all, every, book we now have in the NT was accepted as canon in the first century and that there was no contention on any level that they all belonged in the canon, which is clearly incorrect. It helps, thanks again. God Bless, the hat lady |

Say thanks Pastor Moran! So, Question, does the word wine that Paul uses in I Corinthians 11 refer to fermented or unfermented wine and do you believe based on the context of that part of his letter that the Corinthians were dying early because of getting drunk at the supper, or was that becuase they did not examine themselves?

You are being a bit obtuse, I understand the reference to making sure we spare our words and that we have to give an account for what we say to God. But somewhere in there you made one huge post about being banned from this site and it was fairly wordy. Are you choosing not to share what the real nature of what you call being "banned from this site" is? Let me try to encourage you. How about this, I Peter 3:16,17 and keep a good conscience so that in the thing which your are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than doing what is wrong. We are all here guilt of breaking the guidelines of this site in one way or another becuase we are all still sinners. Why not just forgive one another? I had to learn the hard way that I should have just forgiven every one hear rather than post my hurts and admonitions to conform all over the place. Mathew 7:1-5 watch out for that log in your eye brother and watch out for that measure of judgment you mete out, God will measure it back. Have some mercy here on us poor old sinners...

I don't understand, I have seen your other posts three times and fail to see how you could be banned and still post? Why didn't you include some scripture to back up this post, not judging, just curious. So you are William Robinson and now you are Sola Scriptura and you keep leaving posts about not chattering. Where are your scripture questions. You take the time to tell folks that something has been discussed enough and to follow the guidelines of the site. Where are your questions or answers to questions? If the site is obviously letting you participate, then particapte, I don't understand. God Bless, Tamara |

189 | Do we get saved by Baptism? | 1 Pet 3:21 | Tamara Brewington | 204348 | ||
Dear Doc, I have been working on this one for a while, I think I may have come up with a solution... Apparently conflicting scriptures; Galatians 5:4 You have been severed from Christ you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. The word severed is actually ceased to have effect. Ceased to have effect from annointed Christ were you who in law are being justifed, of the grace you fall out. That is the original wording and word order. Because it is impossible to lose one's salvation after once being saved, this is not saying that a believer who had been given grace fell out of salvation. It has to mean that one to whom the grace was offered who had been saved fell from grace and Christ ceased to have effect in thier life. In which case it is possible to be restored to a state of grace and for Christ to once again have effect in their life. Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The word order is not the important thing here, but the elements are. Peter was not trying to imply that the Holy Spirit is the result of water baptism. Peter was not trying to imply that that baptism confers forgiveness. Peter was saying first, repent and then be baptized, second you will recieve the Holy Spirit. Look at Ephesians 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of the truth, the gospel of your salvation - having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise. According to this passage once you hear the gospel and believe it you receive the Holy Spirit right away. See Acts 10:34-48 Peter is preaching the gospel and before he has a chance to finish and baptize every body, they believe, get saved and the Holy Spirit falls and they start speaking in tongues. Then Peter says nothing should prevent them from being baptized should it? The order of the events of salvation cannot be dictated as carved in stone based on Acts 2:38 or scriptures like it. I Peter 1:4,5 To obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. This passage shows that salvation is imperishable, it cannot be lost, or turned off. Believers are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed at the end. Romans 8:37,38 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of Christ, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Created things, angels, powers, death, principalities all these things involve sin and sin cannot separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus. Here is another one commonly used to mean that a believer once having believed can lose their salvation. Hebrews 6:4-6 For in the case of those who have once tasted the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted of the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. The passage is talking about those who are false prophets or apostate and both of these terms refer, in one sense, to those who were never saved, but professed to be. Consider Judas; did he not go out with the twelve healing, casting out demons all in the name of Jesus? Consider what Jesus says in Mathew 7:21,22 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform miracles? And I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness. According to this passage Jesus is saying that the folks who did do the works of Jesus in His name, if they don't do the will of the Father will be perishing. That means back up in Hebrews that it has to be talking about these same people who have made a false profession of Christ even though they used the name of Jesus to perform miraculous works and were given every opportunity at fellowship with God. I hope this qualifies as having reconciled the scriptures. I see that I originally left out the Acts 2:38 inadvertantly and in the same way put in Romans 11:2,3 by mistake. God bless, the hat lady |

190 | How do these accounts reconcile? | Bible general Archive 4 | Tamara Brewington | 204346 | ||
Dear John, Pondered what you said here for about a while I guess. Here is what I was able to try to peice together; 2)On context; Angels, Mathew has one angel sitting on a stone outside the tomb, Mark has one angel sitting to the right in the tomb, Luke and John have two angels inside the tomb. There may have been three angels. There were perhaps two or three angels around at first when the women came one was standing on the stone, they didn't see the other one, or ones inside the tomb. The writers only metioned the angel who spoke in some accounts. When Peter and John came they saw the two angels inside and maybe one was hanging out side and had moved off the stone and stood by the door. 3)On context; Mary sees Jesus first at the tomb and then goes and tells the disciples immediately in John, Mary sees Jesus first after leaving the tomb in Mark, The disciples see Jesus first at the place where they were away from the tomb in Mathew, the two on the road to Emmaus are the first to see Jesus in Luke. Perhaps Mary saw Jesus twice, once at the tomb and once on the way back to the disciples. Every account has someone different seeing Jesus first or in a differnt place because they were writing telling the story from a different point of view. 4)On context; Mary goes alone in John, Mary goes with the other Mary in Mathew, Mary goes with three women in Mark, Mary goes with a group of women more than three in Luke. All the women were there it's just that some writers only mention the woman who does the speaking and others simply only mention some of them. God Bless, the hat lady |

191 | Normalization in theology? | John 1:5 | Tamara Brewington | 204344 | ||
Dear Searcher, Had to think about what you said for a while... What do you think about normalization being the reconciliation of parties, like God and man, the darkness of the world to the light of God? Or what do you think about normalization being hte reconciliation of concepts like the scriputres for salvation by water baptism with the scriptures for spirit baptism? God Bless, the hat lady |

192 | Why Holy | 1 Cor 12:11 | Tamara Brewington | 204343 | ||
Dear Carlos, I have been thinking about this for a bit and this is what I came up with; The first group of people the Holy Spirit fell on at Pentecost in Acts 2 on the Jews gathered at Jerusalem who were disciples of Jesus and they were speaking in other languages to other Jews the great deeds of God. In the end of the chapter a great many of these Jew from other countries believed after Peter the apostle preached to them and they were baptized and they also recieved the Holy Spirit. That is the fist group to be included in the church. Then the second group of people the Holy Spirit fell on was in Acts 10:34-48 Peter goes to Cornelius a Gentile and he and all of his household heard the gospel and even before they got baptized in the Holy Spirit fell on them, they spoke in tongues and then they got baptized. The third group of people who got brought in were the Samaritans in Acts 8:4-18 who received the Holy Spirit after believing in the gospel and being baptized. The fourth group of people that got brought in whom the Holy Spirit fell on where those who had the baptism of John and once Paul had them baptized the Holy Spirit fell on them and they spoke in tonuges. So there was a reason people were having the Holy Spirit fall on them in this way and in some instances speaking in tongues. God was brining the four major groups into the church. After these groups; the Jews to whom the promises belonged, the Samaritans who worshipped the right God the wrong way, all the pagans the Gentiles, and those who had received the repentance and baptism of John were brought into the church, you don't find the Holy Spirit falling on people in the Bible making them speak in tongues quite like you do in Acts. In Acts people had tongues of fire fall on them and they spoke in real languages as evidence that the Holy Spirit had included a group. God bless, the hat lady |

193 | Full of the Holy Spirit full time? | Acts 1:1 | Tamara Brewington | 204342 | ||
Dear Doc, I have been studying this again and here is what I found out; Only three people are said to have been full of the Holy Spirit. As Christians we have the ability to act by the power of the devil, or the Holy Spirit. We have the seal of the Holy Spirit as the promise of salvation, but we have not yet reached the final state of glory in which we will constantly operate under the power of the Holy Spirit as Jesus did. We need to be given doses of the Holy Spirit's power even though we already have Him as we are being moved from glory to glory. I believe based on the testimony of the three men, that they always acted under the power of the Holy Spirit and did not waver, did not have instances where the power of Satan moved through them: Barnabas, Stephen and Jesus Christ with the key is that the word full #4134, complete/full is only used only of these three in referrence to having the power of the Holy Spirit, or just the Holy Spirit - Acts 6:5,8 and Acts 7:55 for Stephen Acts 11:22 - 24 for Barnabas Luke 4:1 for Jesus Christ. What do you think? God Bless the hat lady. |

194 | Strong's context of verse in passage? | 2 Cor 5:14 | Tamara Brewington | 204340 | ||
Dear Doc, Came across another intreptation since you last wrote me about this... Here goes; The word control in II Corinthians 5:14 can aslo be translated as pushed out. From verses 15-19 Paul talks about who he will recognize, moves on to being a new creature, and then to the reconciliation to Christ. Then concludes this part of his discourse which section of the passage he began in verses 11-13 where he was talking about giving those to whom he preaches and teaches an occaission to be proud of him for doing so. See then down in II Corinithians 5:20,21 where it talks about him being an ambassador for Christ? See also verse 13 where he talks about being beside himself or of sound mind and how that is referring to being made manifest up in verse 11 and giving them an occaison to be proud of Pauls efforts as an apostle? Verse 14 talks in the second half and in verse 15 about the gospel that Paul has been made manifest for (verses 11,12) and that he is being "pushed out" to go preach as an ambassador of Christ (verse 20). What do you think of that interpretation Doc? Respectfuly the hat lady |

I think the feather ruffling is all me actually, maybe if I had left out the word ain't it wouldn't have seemed sarcastic, which was not the intent. The intent was resignation to your request and I think I was being sassy because I love to study a subject and just get to chewin on it. Seems like you guys have chewed up sooooo much stuff in here that its all good to you to stop jawing about a thing, I understand. I have not been around long enough in here or out there to have discussed any subject add nauseum to be ready to drop and go, every darn thing is sooooooo interesting to me.... That is what happens to new jacks. I will try to take note though of when Sola Scriputa cannot be applied to straighten something out... Soorrrrrrryyyyyyyyy Back, God bless, the hat lady |

Whatever you want to do about curtailing a discussion is fine, I won't bother to answer you then about it then... You ain't too interested in a rebuttal I can tell. I appreciate your insight, how's that? I do have to disagree with you though, I think it is important to have free discourse about Biblical concepts, doctrines and so on based on the scriptures and our intrepretation of them. But I respect your right to cut short any further discourse just the same.. Maybe next time if you don't want think it is profitable to discuss something further you could refrain form asking questions while at the same time saying let's let it go (we understand what a rhetorical question is..., but asking one and then saying let's not get into it may have an unintended barb in it somewhere).

I heartily agree Lionheart! Do you have the scriptureanalyzer4all? It has the original language word order for Greek and English with lexical components... You probably know of the esword and www.esword.net and have that. But do you have the legitimate modules for it that are not on their home page site? If you want, email me at whatdoyoubelieve@hotmail.com and I will send you three links... Oh wanna laugh? I rushed out the house this morning after leaving you a note saying I was late for first Sunday... Stupid git, went flying down the street in a white hat and suit for communion and was the only one wearing white in church!... OH MY Gosh, I was wilting all through service pondering seriously about externals............. Then it was time to usher and I felt stupid in white because the other usher was wearing black and had to remind myself I was serving the Lord, not there for a fashion show. Laugh out Loud.................... God Bless, the hat lady |
