201 | REV 11 The Temple stands yet destroyed | Rev 1:11 | humbledbyhisgrace | 204636 | ||
RC, The price is too high to discuss the scripture with you. I don't wish to take part in such rage and anger. I lived in that enough before I was saved! Sorry if I upset you! I don't wish to be a part of something that causes a brother to stumble. Steve |

202 | REV 11 The Temple stands yet destroyed | Rev 1:11 | humbledbyhisgrace | 204630 | ||
Oh but RC, it was a simple question in which you answered. Think of me simple if you will, I only wished to give you opportunity to clarify in hopes I was misunderstanding you and if not, that you would even see the fallacy in your reasoning. See, not only did the three churches crumble in the earth quake, but so to does your teaching on the matter! Or let me say, on this point and anything you rest on this! Steve |

Thanks for your response. As I said, I have not studied this subject all that much so I was looking for clarification of your statements. I didn't want to assume and/or put words in your mouth. From your response you are basing your arguments on 3 of the physical churches being destroyed by the earth quake. Does that not raise questions in your own mind about your position? At least on the parts you rest on your interpretation of Revelation 1:11? Let's say you were going to send a letter to my local church and it was destroyed by an earth quake. Does that mean no one is here to receive the letter? Of course not, unless of course everyone who was a member of the local church was destroyed with the building. Steve |

RC, I'm not much for debating this subject because the truth is I have not studied it that much. Reading along with this thread I have a question that comes to mind reading your post however so to help me understand your point of view could you please explain? Am I correct your response is in regards to what John pointed out in Revelation 1:11 when you said "Well as long as you know that all 7 Churches didnt exsist in 90 AD then thats just fine, in 63 AD three of them were destroyed by yes an earth quake. And believe it or not Laodocia wasnt rebuilt till 121 AD..."? The reason I ask is I want to make sure this is what you are addressing. If so then I need to ask you to explain if you would your understanding of what the physical churches that were destroyed have to do with Revelation 1:11? It appears to me your view is founded on 3 churches being destroyed by an earth quake. I fail to see what the physical church has to do with it. You don't mean the people of the church were destroyed in the earth quake do you? Am I understanding you correctly? If so, could it be your understanding is based on assumption the church was no more because the physical structure was destroyed in the earth quake and the fact is the writing was not intended for the physical structure but for the church (i.e. the people)?

207 | Creator upset -Gen. 6 do same-Matt.1:18? | Eph 4:4 | humbledbyhisgrace | 204361 | ||
TK, There is only One Creator! (Genesis 1) One Spirit, One Lord, One God and Father. Ephesians 4:4-6 (NASB) 4:4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 4:6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.

208 | so spiritually minded no earthly good? | Luke 10:33 | humbledbyhisgrace | 204322 | ||
Yes I know. I wrote it! And as I've tried to point out to you, the scripture is clear on the matter. Your response on the other hand contradicts what the Lord Himself was teaching . Like I said, I would encourage you to read the scripture and let me add, not read into it! Steve |

209 | so spiritually minded no earthly good? | Luke 10:33 | humbledbyhisgrace | 204266 | ||
"They were a Priest, and a Levite, they sure should be spiritually minded" Scripture gives a different picture in this account. "The quote that was used for the question, "They were so spiritually minded they were no earthly good " is what is called a back handed compliment. The quote itself, conceeds the spirituality of the Priest, and the Levite." The quote concedes a worldly view not a biblical view. In light of scripture, what do you make of the quote? Matthew 6:33 (KJV) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. "I can take from the assumption you made, that you couldn't give any reasion why they didnt't help, you only gave a resounding NO. In your mind they weren't spiritually minded at all. " Luke 10:25-37 (NASB) 10:25 And a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" 10:26 And He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?" 10:27 And he answered, "YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." 10:28 And He said to him, "You have answered correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE." 10:29 But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" 10:30 Jesus replied and said, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. 10:31 "And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 10:32 "Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 10:33 "But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, 10:34 and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 10:35 "On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.' 10:36 "Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers' hands?" 10:37 And he said, "The one who showed mercy toward him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do the same." Steve |

210 | so spiritually minded no earthly good? | Luke 10:33 | humbledbyhisgrace | 203996 | ||
I would encourage you to read the passage in context and drop the many assumptions. Take a look again starting at verse 25. Using your assumptions you have attributed to them you have defeated your own argument. What you have done is painted a picture of someone who is solely concerned with themselves. So how is it then you find them to be spiritually minded? Did not their actions contradict the law? Did not their actions contradict what the Lord was pointing out in the parable? Of course they did! Even your own reasoning indicate the Priest and the Levite only had an intellectual understanding of the law and no spiritual understanding. I know your intent was not to present it as such but none the less, the text of scripture and even your reasoning show just the opposite. Steve |

211 | Acts 13:1 | Bible general Archive 4 | humbledbyhisgrace | 203834 | ||
Jamison, As you search this out, here is a brief Christian orthodox view by Ra McLaughlin of the subject at hand. "The Bible uses different language in different places to describe what happens to us when we die. Often it refers to death as 'sleep' (e.g. Psalms 13:3; John 11:11-14; Acts 13:36; 1 Corinthians 11:30; 15:6,18,20,51; Ephesians 5:14; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-15; 5:10) -- this is the regular way Kings and Chronicles refer to the deaths of kings. In all these cases, 'sleep' is simply a euphemism for 'death.' It is not to be taken literally, as if it indicated 'soul sleep.'" "John 11:11-14 provides a good example of 'sleep' as 'death' rather than as 'soul sleep.' When the disciples misunderstood Jesus' reference to Lazarus' death as 'sleep,' he corrected them not by saying that Lazarus soul was asleep, but rather by stating that Lazarus was dead." "One of the more confusing passages in this regard is 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, where Paul speaks of the dead in Christ as being asleep, and as rising only when Christ returns. This may at first give the impression that they are rising from sleep when Christ returns, and that prior to that they are not with him. However, 'rise' (from the Greek anistemi) is not the normal word the Bible uses to describe those who cease to sleep -- 'awake' is. 'Rise' generally refers to the simple act of standing up, but it also refers frequently to the general resurrection when our bodies will rise from the grave (Mark 9:9; 9:10; 12:25; Luke 16:31; 24:46; John 20:9; Acts 10:41; 13:43; 17:3,31). In these cases, the point is not that our souls wake up or rise, but that our bodies do. This being the background of the language of 'rising' (anistemi) in the church, the Thessalonian church would have understood 'rise' (anistemi) in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 to refer to the bodily resurrection, not to awaking from soul sleep." "There is no explicit teaching in Scripture that outlines any doctrine of 'soul sleep,' but it is an inference drawn from the metaphor/euphemism of death as 'sleep.' The Bible does explicitly teach, however, that our souls are immediately present with the Lord upon our deaths. For example, Jesus told the thief on the cross that the thief would be with him that day in paradise (Luke 23:43). Further, Paul explicitly taught that to be absent from the body was to be present with the Lord -- he mentioned no third alternative such as soul sleep (2 Corinthians 5:6-9). Moreover, we have actual examples of people who died but did not experience soul sleep: Moses and Elijah (Matthew 17:3; Mark 9:4; Luke 9:30-31); perhaps Samuel (1 Samuel 28:3-20); and of course Jesus himself (e.g. Luke 23:43). Some would add the debatable example of Abraham, Lazarus and the rich man in the parable of Luke 16:19-31." "When we die, it is fair to speak of us 'sleeping' insofar as we are no longer walking the earth, and insofar as our bodies are not active. In our sleep of death, however, we are conscious and active in the presence of Christ." --Ra McLaughlin Steve |

Will do Brother! May His peace be with you! Philippians 4:4-7 (NASB) 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! 4:5 Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Your Brother in Christ, Steve |

213 | Do we get saved by Baptism? | 1 Pet 3:21 | humbledbyhisgrace | 203827 | ||
Let's go back to your original statement. You said "Now the question is and I will say this off the get go that if we take any one of these things do you still have salvation?" You were speaking of these three things, baptism, faith and repentance. It appears you are saying that if we take any of the three away we no longer have salvation. Is that what you were saying? To me it appeared that is what you were insinuating. Then you pointed out that the church had not yet been established and since then that salvation comes by a different method then it did before the church. At least that's what I'm getting out of your post. If in fact this is what you are saying, please explain. If not, then forgive me for misrepresenting your comments. Steve |

My Dear Brother, what does the church add in regards to our salvation? And here dear brother, was the church established at this point and what of the three things might we find missing and of what do we find here of the church? Ephesians 2:8-9 (NASB) 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 2:9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 10:9-10 (NASB) 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10:10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. Am I misunderstanding you? Steve |

216 | alcohol scripturally wrong? | Eph 5:18 | humbledbyhisgrace | 203690 | ||
Doc, For what it's worth, I think your post was biblically sound and shows a godly wisdom. And the context and message was clear as I see it. In contrast, offering practices of a local church or something we enjoy doing as justification is neither biblical nor is there a hint of godly wisdom in it nor is this the measure of truth and godliness. I'm not debating the original question here nor do I take a position on the practice of the church in subject here but rather pointing out the danger in attempting to establish biblical truth based on what a local church practices. The practices and teachings of churches today are riddled with ungodliness and false teachings and certainly can't be trusted as our measure. Perhaps the mark in question is different all together therefore it only appears to some you have missed it :-) Steve |

217 | Swine possessed by demons | Luke 8:33 | humbledbyhisgrace | 203544 | ||
Hi allanm, Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! Scripture does not say they were released to possess someone else. To my knowledge, scripture does not give us reason to believe that they were. Considering they were commanded by the Lord and sent into the swine I see no reason to believe they have the power to do other then what the Lord commanded them to do. Steve |
