181 | When did Jesus know He was God? | John 1:1 | ebrain | 166378 | ||
Thank you for your comments, however, I do not think that Joseph and Mary would have told Him for the following reasons. Mark 3:21, reads "And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, "He is out of his mind". Also John 7:5 reads "For not even his brothers believed in him", and Luke 2:19. makes me think that Mary kept all these things to herself, perhaps she was told by the Angel to say nothing?. In view of the above, I find it hard to believe that it was common knowledge in His family. |

182 | Does Satan Really Exist? | Bible general Archive 3 | ebrain | 166298 | ||
Thank you drbloor for your posts of 17th, and 19th of Jan 06. In reply let me comment as follows. You ask if Satan is a person or not, you then state that the word Satan means adversary, this of course is correct, you then go on to say "there was a adversary in Job, and I am certain he was a person", Thereby answering the very question you had just asked? You state that Isaiah Ch 14, and Ezekiel Ch 28 refer to to men only, and not to Satan, if this is so then please explain how the king of Babylon fell from Heaven as described in verse 12? In Ezekiel 28:13, how did the king of Tyre get into the "Eden, the garden of God"? Now regardind Divine permission, in my ESV Bibly, Job 2:6, reads, And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life", please tell me how this can be considered as anything other than Divine permission?. God also uses the personal pronoun "your". indicating that He, God is speaking to a person, and not something other that a person. |

Hi Susan. I think the verse you are looking for might very well be Isaiah 53:2b. The Lord bless you, and keep you safe. Edwin. |

185 | Ref to love slave in N.T. Is there any? | Ex 21:5 | ebrain | 165710 | ||
Hi Chris. Let me share something with you that the Lord showed me when I first read Ex 21:1-6, and also Deut 15:12-17. It was pointed out to me that the master is a type of God the Father, the servant a type of Jesus, the wife that the master gives to the servant, a type of the church (the bride of Christ). When the servant says "I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free". Then the master in effect says "you know that there is a price to pay don't you?" "yes I know that" says the servant. Very well then says the master, and he takes the servant to God ("the Judges", Amplified Bible), and from Judgment to a place symbolic of execution, the vertical wooden door post, the servant standing with his back to it, allows an awl (picture of a nail) to be driven right through his flesh into the woodwork. Jesus will serve the master forever, see 1st Cor 15:28. |

186 | is jesus god? | 1 Cor 15:28 | ebrain | 165389 | ||
You ask, what do I think. Well regarding Phil 2:5-11, I often wonder why almost all quotations of this passage stop at v 11, and do not continue on with vs12-13. A long time ago I was told that whenever the word "Therefore" appears, we are to ask ourselves what the word therefore is there for, I believe that Paul intended v 13, to be understood in light of vs 5-11, where it it quite clear that Jesus, as one might say took a back seat, and allowed His Father who dwelt in Him (John 14:10)to do the work, and that we likewise are to do the same. Note that in v 13 we are told that it is God in us who both wills (gives us the will, reveals His will, makes us willing), and to work, note it is God who works, not us, all we are required to do "Therefore" is to let Him get on with it. There is no other way, you carn't He can, so let Him, and letting Him is what the Bible calls faith, "For without faith etc, etc",,, Heb 11:6. Every blessing Mark. Edwin. |

187 | is jesus god? | 1 Cor 15:28 | ebrain | 165386 | ||
Mark. I also believe that Jesus and Jehovah are one and the same. Who do you think Isaiah saw,as recorded at Ch 6 vs 1-6, he tells us a v 6 that he saw Jehovah, the "King the LORD of hosts!". Whereas John tells us that Isaiah saw Jesus, see Ch 12 vs 37-41. How about that then. More later, must close now. In Him. Edwin. |

Thanks again Mark. Here is another one for you to comment on. Philippians 2:9. "the name that is above every name". How can you give someone what they have allready have? Mind you if you read the next verse, and also Isaiah 45:23, it might help. |

189 | Does anyone know whrn the beginning was? | Gen 1:31 | ebrain | 165327 | ||
Thank you Mark. You will most likely be aware of what follows, but others may not. We are left in no doubt as to the length of the Prophetic year in the book of the Revelation at Ch 12 v 6, 1260 days. Ch 12 v 14, time and times and half a time. Ch 13 v 5, 42 months. In Him. Edwin. |

190 | Does anyone know whrn the beginning was? | Gen 1:31 | ebrain | 165315 | ||
It would appear from Genesis 7:11,and 24, with Ch 8:3-4, that a 360 day year might very well have been in use at that time, as 150 days is exactly 5 months of 30 days each. | ||||||

193 | Context versus what is translated. | 1 Sam 25:22 | ebrain | 165037 | ||
I have been told that LXX was available at least 250 years B.C. I do not know of any English Translation before adout the middle of the 2nd Centuary A.D, in outher words at least 1700 years plus years after LXX was in existance. You refer to the Jewish Scriptures, whereas LXX is a Greek Translation of the Hebrew?. |

194 | explain the doctrine of predistination | Rom 9:13 | ebrain | 165035 | ||
Predestination, or their understanding of it is indeed part of Calvinist Teaching, that however is not the point. If you are saying that Calvinism/Arminianism is not to be discussed on this website, then I agree with you wholehartedly, however, Predestination/Election is a Biblical Doctrine, and I see no reason why it should not be discussed here. |

195 | explain the doctrine of predistination | Rom 9:13 | ebrain | 165006 | ||
Thank you Tim, for your post. In my Bible (ESV) John 6:65, reads "no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father". What is the point in saying this, if God calls everyone?. In Romans 8:30, He only calls thoes that He has predestinated, and predestination is as a result of Devine foreknowledge, why say this, if He calls everybody?. All cannot possibly mean all mankind, otherwise the Word of God would contradict itself, and that is impossible. I have no problem with Rom 3:23. At 2 Peter 3:9, the words are "not willing", which means that there is no energy raidating from God pushing people away from Him, and salvation. John 6:37 reads "All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out". What is the point in saying this if God calls everybody, and Jesus never casts anyboby out, in this case all mankind would be saved, and this is clearly not the teaching of Scripture, see below. Matt 7:13-14, clearly indicates that only a few are saved, and that many are lost. As I have said before the Bible does not contridict itself. In Him. Edwin. |

All in this verse menas all without distinction, and not all without exception, in other words all kinds, or sorts of people, not everybody. If it ment everybody, then it would make nonsence of John 6 vs 44 and 65. Continuing now with my last post. John 3:16, and the first 8 verses of this Chapter are better understood against the background of the following verses. 1 Cor 2:14, Matt 19:25-26, and Matt 16:16-18. "Born again" is a spiritual concept, and as 1 Cor 2:14, indicates spiritual things have to be spiritually discerned, and the unconverted are spiritually dead, and cannot understand them. This leads to the problem that humans have as expressed at Mat 19:25, "How then can any flesh be saved", our Lord assures them "That with men it is impossible, but that with God all things are possible". An explanation of just how God does this is illustrated at Matt 16:16-18, where Jesus makes it quite clear that Perer was only able to say "You are the Christ, the Son of the livind God" as a result of direct Devine intervention, and not as a result of "flesh and blood", i.e. human ability. In John Ch 3 Jesus is talking about two kinds of life, physical life, and spiritual life, and the method by which you get into each one, i.e. by birth. Now how did you get into the physical world, well by birth of course, and how much contribution did you make to your physical birth?, non whatsoever, you owe your existance entirly to the activity of your human father. Strange though it may seem your entry into the spiritual world is also by birth, and again you are not able to make any contribution to it, this time it is due entirely to the activity of the one who thereby becomes your Heavenly Father. This is your second birth, the first time you were born of woman, the second time, you are born from above, born of God, and now that you are living in the spiritual world, you can understand for the first time spiritual things, and are able to receive Jesus as your Saviour. To be continued. God bless you all. Edwin Brain. |

My understanding of 1 John 5:1, is that everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ, has been born again, in other words, one has to be born again in order to believe. I do not see how any other interpritation is possible. John 3:16, is probably the most well known of all verses in the Bible, now please tell me how many converts do you think there would be if you were to quote this verse to a crowd of lets say 100 non christians? More later, must close now. In Him. Edwin. |

200 | Paul had problems? No one acts good? | Matt 11:28 | ebrain | 164897 | ||
Hi Lelah-ann, and welcome to this forum. It is concluded that Paul had poor eyesight, possibily myopia, this is arrived at in the following way. If you read Romans 16:22, you will see that Paul did not write this letter, but dictated it to Tertius his Secretary, who wrote it down for him. Now have a look at Galatians 6:11, where Paul indicates that this last part of the letter was written by him personally, "large letters", might indicate myopia. Regarding the additional problems to which you refer, other contributors to this website will I am sure be able to help you. May the Lord bless you Lelah-ann, and keep you safe. Edwin. |
