183 | Who is they in Job 22:28?. | Job 22:23 | flinkywood | 135791 | ||
Pdcarn, a quibble and a question. The citation on iherited sin is from Romans 5:12, not v.5:5. Is Paul contradicting himself when he writes in v.12, "and so death spread to all men, because all sinned--" and in v.14, "Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam..."?

185 | Am I under Jewish Law? | Rom 8:4 | flinkywood | 135753 | ||
Reighnskye, Let me try to answer your opening question. “…You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Mat 19:19) "The commandments, 'You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,' and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. (Rom 13:9-10) In a sense, Jesus reintroduces us to the importance of the Law and its Spirit in Himself. He commands us to fulfill the Law by loving our neighbor as ourself. The only way to do this is through Him (John 15.5). Insofar as we are under the Law in Him, we are also given the Grace to do the Law in Him. This is Paul’s meaning in Romans 2:13: “For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.” Following Christ involves keeping the Commandments.

Doc, how is God's greatest attribute not love, but holiness? Colin |

189 | The gates of hell... | Not Specified | flinkywood | 135396 | ||
To all: A Protestant pastor I know once described the Catholic Church as "the devil's perfect masterpiece." I overheard another pastor of a large church describe Catholicism as "a garment of Bayblon". The current ugliness in this forum between Dalcent and Doctrinesograce is sickening. Could someone please put it in context? Where does it come from? Is it historical? Doctrinal? What is its essence, and what's it doing in the body of Christ? | ||||||

192 | Until | Matt 1:25 | flinkywood | 135271 | ||
Doc, The Essenes practised celibate marriage, so it was not unheard of. Also consider the converse of your argument: the marriage was abnormal because they were obedient to the Lord; it was, after all, the most abnormal conception in history. Colin |

193 | Did Jesus, have sisters and brothers | Matt 13:55 | flinkywood | 135263 | ||
It is not Biblically conclusive that Jesus had brothers and sisters. Even though the NT often mentions Jesus' brethren (MT 13:55; Mk 3:31; 6:3; Lk 8:19; Jn 2:12; 7:3; Acts 1:14; Gal 1:19), these were his relatives. Four points: 1) None of these is ever called the children of Mary, although Jesus Himself is (Jn 2:1, 19:25; Acts 1:14. 2) 2 names mentioned are sons of a different "Mary" (MT 27:56; Mk 15:40). 3) It's doubtful Jesus would entrust His mother to John at His crucifixtion if she had other natural sons to look after her (Jn 19:26-27). 4) The Greek word for "Brethren" (adelphoi) has a broader meaning than blood brothers. Because Ancient Hebrew had no word for "cousin", it was customary to to use "brethren" in the Bible for relationships other than blood brothers. In the Greek OT, a "brother" can be a nearly related cousin (1 Cron 23:21-22), a more remote kinsman (Deut 23:7; 2 Kings 10:13-14), an uncle or a nephew (Gen 13:8), or the realtion between men bound by covenant (2 Sam 1:26). The NT continues this tradition. Paul uses it as a synonym for for his Israelite kinsmen in Rom 9:3. (Attribution: Ignatius Catholic Study Bible) Note that we also call one another brethren in the New Covenant family of God, even though we're not blood relatives. This is a point of contention between Catholic and Protestant teaching. I favor the Catholic position on this one. Colin |

194 | Is the Bible itself evil? | 2 Tim 3:16 | flinkywood | 135058 | ||
Nevermind, you are asking good questions. I used to think that God, if he or it existed, had to be indifferent because of the nastiness of his creation, all that death, suffering, hypocrisy and degredation. A loving god couldn't make something so atrocious, and if he did, he certainly wasn't perfect. I had far more respect for those who courageously endured this lousy world than for the disinterested deity who supposedly created it. I also envied the simple, reverential faith of the "true" Christians I met and the soldier-like quality self-sacrifice I sensed in them. What turned me around was trouble in my life and asking the kinds of questions you are now asking. Keep on being boldly blunt; you might be surprised in a big way. Colin |

Me neither, Tim. Colin |

Tim, "Prayer is simply an expression of repentance and confession." With reams written on the subject of prayer, is this what it all boils down to? Colin |

Tim, Merci beaucoup. Colin |

198 | Verses where water alone means baptism? | John 3:5 | flinkywood | 134821 | ||
Tim, thanks for hanging in here. How do we integrate rejection of Christ with Mat 25:45-46? "Then He will answer them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.' "These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." Is Jesus saying that to the extent we do not do these things to Him we reject Him, and He us, eternally? Colin |

Tim, If a Christian rejects Christ, walks clean away and never repents of it, is he still saved? Colin |
