181 | Mark 1:6 ? | Mark 1:6 | Jensen | 20021 | ||
Dear Brother Casiv.... As a young earth creationist, your quoting Psalm 19:1 is the way the Lord has used you to soften my heart toward you. But I'm still not going for the number thing, and I will fight this teaching with gentleness and respect. God Bless....Jensen |

182 | Enter the Dragon! | Gen 3:1 | Jensen | 20020 | ||
Dear Lionstrong...Thanks for your reply. Oh please, I do not subsribe to the Gap Theory. My goodness!!! How did you get that. I am sorry for not being more clear. No, I do not deny Ex 20:11. My goodness again!!! Satan was outside time when he fell. Spirits are not shackled in our time. The spiritual battle rages on for "ages" but the ages are ours. The spiritual battle is, ...timeless. "Nice try, Jensen", you wrote. But I was not trying anything, really. But do you believe that God created evil? Do you not believe that it was the choice of Satan to "fall." A result of his free will. (Did Adam, then, have free will?) I did re-read my post and I am not sure of where we disagree when one considers that I do not deny your interpretation of the Sciptures you offered. My point was simply that our perception of "time" is not the same as how God views time, which is just a small part of His creation in the final analysis. God created time and put us in it. Like a painter is not a part of his painting yet he leaves a little of himself on the canvas, God has left His image, on us. But He is not the picture, He is not in time or concerned with time, at least like we are. He already knows how things will come to pass. He already knows my future and what choices I will make, and the "times" He will pick me up:) The spirit world is outside of time. Mat17:3 "Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus." A long amount of time had passed from the death of Moses to the life of Jesus. But time is not important here. Time is relative. Elijah and Moses were not so old as to be unrecognizable by the apostle. Time had no effect on them the way we would think it should. They were not in their owntime, but "transported" to the time of Jesus. Time is our possession, and not necessarily that of the heavens. Satan could have taken a thousand years to fall if his time was measured by how we understand time. In our time, he fell quickly. But again, so did Adam. Science has demonstrated the effect of gravity on time, God has demonstrated in the above verse that time is relative. As for your main question; You may believe God created evil while I may believe God did not. But that would be our only point of disagreement. Or do we have a disagreement at all :) God Bless....Jensen |

183 | Enter the Dragon! | Gen 3:1 | Jensen | 19905 | ||
Dear Lionstrong... You asked concerning Satan, "If he were created good how did he fall and so quickly?" He was a murderer from the beginning, the beginning of time of course. But God and his angels are outside of time as man percieves time to be. I think that ISA 14:12-15 "How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn!...." is how he fell. And I think that LK 10:18 "He replied, 'I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.'" is falling very fast :) But there is plenty of "time" that is outside of our time. And plenty of time to exercise free will. After all it did not take Adam very long either. God Bless....Jensen |

184 | I NEED A SERMON FOR "LOVE" | Bible general Archive 1 | Jensen | 19899 | ||
More Love Scripture...Song of Songs Depending on your congregation, this Book has all kinds of possibilities. Read it over with "youth" in mind and be led. Or read it over with "seniors" in mind and be led. Or husbands and wives, and then you may want to put a little in there for each in a mixed age group. God Bless....Jensen |

185 | lent..biblical or doctrinal? | Bible general Archive 1 | Jensen | 19893 | ||
Lent is one of the Liturgical Seasons. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC). "1168 Beginning with the Easter Triduum as its source of light, the new age of the Resurrection fills the whole liturgical year..." Scriptual support LK 4:19 "to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." Which is from, ISA 61:2 "to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn," The liturgy of any particular period of time depends on the circumstances. That is, either leading to, or following Easter. "...celebrating this annual cycle of the mysteries of Christ,..." as the CCC puts it. So here it is. LENT, which is this period of time leading to the Risen Christ Jesus is biblical. It is based on Scripture. It is also a church doctrine. The Catholic Church, among others, observe it.

Dear norrie...This note was sent to Steve but will not be of much help because I do not know what verses will lead Steve to the answer to his question. Hope you can help :-)......Jensen Here are the verses that contain "Salmon"; There does not seem to be any reference to two babies. At least directly. They all seem to be geneologies.

188 | Adam, Eve, plants, animals - what order? | Genesis | Jensen | 19883 | ||
Dear Steve....Genesis 2 does not present a different creation order than Genesis 1. The first three verses of Genesis 2 simply carry the narrative of chapter 1 to its final and logical conclusion, using the same vocabulary and style as employed in the previous chapter. It sets forth the the completion of the whole work of creation and the special sanctity conferred on the seventh day. Verse 4 then sums up the whole sequence that has just been surveyed by saying, "These are the generations of heaven and earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made heaven and earth." As we examine the remainder of Genesis 2, we find that it concerns itself with the description of the ideal setting that God prepared for Adam and Eve to begin their life in, walking with the Lord as responsive and obedient children. Verses 5-6 describe the original condition of the "earth" or "land", in the general region of the Garden before it had sprouted under the special watering system the Lord used. Verse 7 introduces Adam as a new occupant for whom Eve was prepared. Verse 8 records how he was placed there to observe and enjoy the beauty. Verses 9-14 describe the various trees and vegetation sustained by the water that flowed out of Eden to the lower regions beyond its borders. Verse 15 indicates the activity of Adam that was assigned to him as keeper. The first 15 verses of chapter 2 were never intended to be a general creation narrative. The animals are not even mentioned untill Adam is assigned his task (vv.18-20). But before this phase of Adams experience begins, he is brought into a covenant relationship with God, who grants him permission to eat the fruit of every tree in the Garden except one (vv.16-17) The structure of Genesis 2 was never intended to be a creation account at all, except as it related to the circumstances of man's creation as a child of God. Chapter 2 is built upon the foundation of chapter 1 and represents no different tradition than the first chapter. I hope this helps. Do not be surprised by Adams ability to name all of the animals in a short period of time. Since the fall everything has been deteriorating including our brains. Our capacity to think has been greatly diminished. It was Thomas Acquinas who said that our minds were exempt from this breaking down but the Bible says that all creation is affected. I relate this naming of the animals to todays computer speeds. It may just have been that our computers are no faster than Adams brain. You have heard that we use only a small percentage of our brains. We lose ability not gain it. Our tools are better not our brains. God Bless....Jensen |

189 | What about those who have never heard? | Bible general Archive 1 | Jensen | 19798 | ||
And then there is mercy.....the discretionary power of a Judge to pardon; the compassionate or kindly forbearance shown toward an offender. We do have a merciful God after all and, just as a possible example, mercy may be shown to a very young child or infant after their death. God Bless....Jensen |

190 | //////// | Exodus | Jensen | 19797 | ||
Personal Note...Ronscarpet I just happened to notice a pattern in the dates of your questions. Are you involved in an organized weekly Bible study on the Book of Exodus? Are these the questions that you were assigned to research? It just struck me that, with the way you ask your questions, you are educated enough so that you could have the answers yourself with a little effort. There really has been nothing controversial or very unclear contained in your questions. The answers to your questions could have been gleened from reading the passage. Are you just asking to confirm what you already suspect? I think the latter? Anyhow, it's a good study for me as I follow these threads :-) God Bless....Jensen |

191 | Why'd the author put it 1Kings 19 | 1 Kings | Jensen | 19792 | ||
Dear Ronda...Welcome to the Forum :).. You may want to clarify your question to include which verse(s) in 1 Kings 19 you are refering to. Or did you mean 1 Kings 1:19 where the details of the feast that was planned by Adonijah were given.... "He has sacrificed great numbers of cattle, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the king's sons, Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army, but he has not invited Solomon your servant." which should be considered an historical record of the feast plans with no particular hidden meaning that I can see :) God Bless....Jensen |

192 | Gap and Pre-Adamic Man theories | Rom 5:12 | Jensen | 19789 | ||
Dear Lambo...All of the thoughts you threw out are valid concerns. Your main concern however, considering the experience you had with your past church, is probably weather or not you can trust the teachers of your new church to line up with Scripture. That is something that we all must constantly check. But I just want to address one of your thoughts. The subjects being taught in your class are the "gap theory" and "pre-adamic man" theory. If there was a great "space of time" after creation that would mean that Adam and Eve, when they walked in the Garden, were actually walking on a graveyard. It would mean that death, which came about because of sin, had entered the world before Adam an Eve. If that is what they are teaching I do not think that the teaching lines up with the Bible because RO 5:12 says "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned--.." So when did death enter the world. It entered when sin entered the world according to the Word of God. Here are some sites that you may want to check for this subject and some of your other thoughts as well. www.answersingenesis.org www.icr.org www.creationscience.com God Bless....Jensen |

193 | Mark 1:6 ? | Mark 1:6 | Jensen | 19768 | ||
: Dear Casiv...The verse seems pretty straight forward to me. A good description of John. Since you connect it to 2 Kings 1:8, I suppose you might easily say that John and Elijah had similarities. But I am afraid to answer since you may take us on another wild ride. As for 2 Kings 1:8; Does the fact that the 2 and the 1 and the 8 add up to 11, and therefore indicate disorder according to your earlier posts, mean that you want to make some unapparent point? God Bless....Jensen |

196 | Salmon | Bible general Archive 1 | Jensen | 19761 | ||
Wait a minute Steve. I may have misunderstood your question. I have given you the passage where Solomon is going to split a single child in half to discover the real mother. The only thing I find on Salmon is where He is listed in the various geneologies. Nothing about Salmon and two babies. But my resources are not as good as some others here on the Forum so they may have something to add. God Bless...Jensen |

198 | Overcome by the power of God? | Bible general Archive 1 | Jensen | 19736 | ||
Dear Searcher...They did not fall backwards according to earlier posts. Does falling backwards have a more significant meaning than falling to the ground? I confess I do not know. If you served in Vietnam, in the field or not, then Welcome Home my brother but lets not talk anymore of Vietnam. At least on this thread. God Bless....Jensen |

199 | Peace with whom? | 1 Pet 3:11 | Jensen | 19733 | ||
"Whoever would love life and see good days..." must seek reconciliations that produce non-waring conditions. This armistice is pursued by all of us and with all of us. Individuals, groups, and nations would do well to heed this advice even if they must suffer for doing so. We pursue peace by living for God. Living for God will result in peace, a state of mutual harmony especially in personal relations. God Bless...Jensen |

200 | Overcome by the power of God? | Bible general Archive 1 | Jensen | 19726 | ||
Summary...Thusfar..... The KJV has "...they went backward, and fell to the ground." And has "I am" or "I am (he)" with a small "h". We have now looked at four translations. They are NIV, NASB, NLT, KJV. 1. The KJV has the best translation of the Greek according to the post of our own resident Greek expert(:)) Tim Moran. The NIV may be tied with the KJV. The KJV has "he" as a parenthetical and lines up with Tim's translation better for that reason alone. The NLT is furthest from the literal and, as an aside and only my opinion, is why the NLT should not be used for in-depth study. 2. There is no evidence, thusfar, that the detachment was "slain in the spirit." |
