181 | Bible, book and verse Steppenwolf locat | Bible general Archive 2 | srbaegon | 119921 | ||
Hello cpowell, Rowdy was joking around. "Magic Carpet Ride" was a song done by the rock group Steppenwolf back in the early 70's. None of this conversation is in the Bible. Steve |

182 | God allows/causes? | Bible general Archive 2 | srbaegon | 121905 | ||
Hello Mark, If I may jump in... This is a difficult subject. As has been pointed out, God does cause "evil" to befall man. Another example: Amos 3:6 (ESV) Is a trumpet blown in a city, and the people are not afraid? Does disaster come to a city, unless the Lord has done it? Isaiah 45:7 (ESV) I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the Lord, who does all these things. You say questioningly, "For instance...the murders that took place at Columbine in Colorado...9/11 at the World Trade Center...drunk driver killing an innocent person...etc... this would be stuff that the Lord allows by our free will...He doesn't cause such stuff, right?" What we know for certain is that God will cause things to happen because they need to be accomplished in order to complete what God has in His overall plan. Look at this: Proverbs 16:4 (ESV) The Lord has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble. God made the wicked man (although He didn't make the man wicked). It's in His plan, and I don't pretend to know how it all works out. Steve |

183 | Jehovah's Witness Question | Bible general Archive 2 | srbaegon | 124900 | ||
Hello victorA, I'll let Emmaus give his own answers but... 1) How would you define angel? The literal definition is a messenger. 2) How would you define archangel? The literal definition is a lead- or head- messenger. 3) Is Jesus the "only begotten god" of Jehovah as John 1:18 says? Yes. 4) Is Jesus the "only begotten son" of Jehovah? Yes. 5) How many heavenly sons does Jehovah God have? All believers and the unfallen angelic host. 6) Was Satan a son of God before he rebelled? Yes. Steve |

185 | Question: ESV or NASB Update | Bible general Archive 2 | srbaegon | 125322 | ||
Hello Marathonman1025, I used NASB for 20 years. When ESV came out, I switched because I liked the way it read. Part of this was being brought up with RSV, so it was familiar to me. Steve |

187 | What does God feel? | Bible general Archive 2 | srbaegon | 128137 | ||
Hello nallon, Is your question: What emotions does God feel? The answer is: all that we feel. Because we are made in the image and likeness of God, we can assume He has the same emotions as we do. Also, there are specific places in Scripture that tells us those emotions: regret, sorrow, anguish, joy, etc. Steve |

Hello New Creature, I just spotted this. Here's my response: 1. Holy Spirit's conviction 2. Repentance 3. Faith/Regeneration/Salvation Steve |

Hello New Creature, Yes! And now you're wondering what I mean by that. God is the one who does the regenerating (John 1:12-13; 3:5). We are required to believe (John 3:14-15). Steve |

Hello following him, This is off topic. I read your profile and notice you had studied cults but chose to stop as not worthwhile. I run into people that have a passion for studying these things. Most of them get so caught up with cults that they forget their Bibles (so it seems). I was wondering if you would send me a private e-mail at srbricker@hotmail.com to discuss this. Steve |

Hello New Creature, I would say that repentance precedes regeneration, because one can repent of his actions without turning to God in faith. I would not say that faith is subsequent to regeneration but concordant or congruent. They happen together with salvation. That's why I put them together as the last step. Steve |

Hello Country Girl, Ed is correct. Look at Rom 2:12-16 in the context of Rom 1:1-3:20. Paul builds the case that regardless of where we stand in relation to the Law, we are guilty before God as concluded in 3:9-18. It isn't that Gentiles would be saved by their life, but that they had an understanding of what the Law entailed. Steve |

Hello chesed, It's not hard to read Jesus Christ into the Old Testament since the NT writers do it as well. :-) Matthew 1:22-23 (ESV) All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: [23] "Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel" (which means, God with us). Matthew 2:3-6 (ESV) When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; [4] and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. [5] They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: [6] 'And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.'" Matthew 2:15 (ESV) This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, "Out of Egypt I called my son." Matthew 4:13-16 (ESV) And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, [14] so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: [15] "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— [16] the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned." Jesus says the OT speaks of him: Luke 22:37 (ESV) For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: 'And he was numbered with the transgressors.' For what is written about me has its fulfillment." Luke 24:25-27 (ESV) And he said to them, "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! [26] Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?" [27] And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. I can give more if you like. Steve |

Hello chesed, So it appears you are saying that God simply did not yet reveal himself as a triune being in the OT but waited to do so in the NT. Is that basically it? Steve |

Hello chesed, As Hank stated, what you purport is quite controversial. If at any time, you would like to communicate about it privately, you can e-mail me at srbricker@hotmail.com. And any of those wanting to jump into a private communication are welcome. :-) And yes, you can disagree. I have two difficulties with calling these simply typological interpretation: 1) Several of the OT passages attributed to Christ were clearly Messianic and the people acted accordingly. For instance: Matthew 21:6-9 (ESV) The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. [7] They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. [8] Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. [9] And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" The crowd understood the symbolism of Jesus' actions. The prophet had declared that the future king would ride into town on a donkey, and the crowd acknowledged this as fulfillment. 2) There were those who didn't even believe on him who knew how the prophesies were to be fulfilled: Matthew 2:3-6 (ESV) When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; [4] and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. [5] They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: [6] " 'And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.'" Your statement: "Plus, Jesus was a 1st century Jew- that was a common hermenuetical method." I'm not sure of your meaning here. Lastly, my question to you would be: Must a prophecy give the name of a person before it can rightly be applied to him/her? Steve |

Hello chesed, Emmaus' definition was quite good. More simply stated, God revealed himself a little bit at a time (spoon-fed us basically), with the intent of giving the full revelation of the work in the NT. Steve |
