203 | Are you convinced? | Mark 16:10 | retxar | 54816 | ||
Thanks Tim! Concerning Mark 16:16, if we go by what it says rather than what it does not say, it presents no doctrinal conflicts with the plain Biblical teaching of salvation by grace thru faith. It actually supports Eph. 2:8-9 very well! To me, Mark 16:16 is a strong witness that water baptism is NOT a salvation requirement, because those do not believe are condemned, not those who aren’t baptized. retxar |

204 | Are you convinced? | Mark 16:10 | retxar | 54782 | ||
Ray, I don’t doubt Mark 16:9-20 as being inspired at all. Your post presents strong internal evidence of its originally. Here’s another bit of evidence that I think might convince others to believe it is authentic also! In his book “Against Heresies” by Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyons, he says; "Also towards the conclusion of his Gospel, Mark says; "So then, after the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sits on the right hand of God." This is, without a doubt, a quote of Mark 16:19. What is interesting is the fact that “Against Heresies” was written in about A.D.180. This precedes the Vaticanus and Sinaiticus manuscripts by about 200 years! If Mark 16 is supposed to end at verse 8, and verses 9-20 were added hundreds of years after the Vaticanus and Sinaiticus, what in the world was Irenaeus reading? Do not be unbelieving, but believing! retxar P.S. PLEASE don’t take my word for this. Check out my source at www.ccel.org/fathers/ANF-01/iren/iren3.html#Section10 (paragraph 5). |

205 | what is meant by work out your own salva | Philippians | retxar | 54433 | ||
1Co 1:18 says "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." Just as those that are perishing have not actually perished yet, those of us who are "being saved" are not yet completely "saved" from sin. We have been saved from the PUNISHMENT of sin. We have been saved from the POWER of sin. But we are yet to be saved from the PRESENCE of sin. I think that is the context and meaning of the phrase "work out your own salvation" found in Phi 2:12 that you were questioning. retxar |

207 | Could the "2 witnesses" be ... | Heb 11:13 | retxar | 54224 | ||
Heb 11:5 says that Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death. 2Ki 2:11 says Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 1Th 4:17 says that those who are alive and REMAIN will be caught up and will forever be with the Lord. By all scriptural accounts, Elijah and Enoch have already been "caught up" and are already forever be with the Lord. Therefore, tho they are indeed alive, they do not “remain" and, as I see it, will not be sent back to Earth to live as a natural person again. Listening for the trumpet! retxar |

Johnny, Would you agree, according to 1Co 15:51-52, that not all will actually keep the appointment of death? retxar |

Are these loop's and hoop's? What you are asking? What do you mean? Are you questioning the referred post or are you endorsing it? If you are endorsing, I agree. This is the WORD! retxar |

210 | Could the "2 witnesses" be ... | Heb 11:13 | retxar | 53357 | ||
1Co 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Even tho Heb 9:27 says "it is appointed unto men once to die" the above verses prove that not all will actually die. Many, for sure (I hope myself!), will enter eternity with the appointment of death remaining a forever broken appointment. With that said, I don't think the 2 witnesses in Revelation will be Enoch and Elijah or anyone else who has lived before, but will be prophets that God will "raise up" that will be born natural manner. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! retxar |

211 | dead bury the dead? | NT general Archive 1 | retxar | 53096 | ||
I don't think the statement the man made of "let me first go and bury my father", has anything to do with the man actually making preparation for his father's funeral. I think this was a statement the man made to put Jesus off, similar to a statement we might hear today such as, "when pigs fly". Well, we aren’t actually waiting for pigs to take flight, but rather we are saying to not expect us to do this or that for a long time, if ever, in respect to the request someone may be making of us. I hope this helps! retxar |

212 | "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" | Acts 16:30 | retxar | 52684 | ||
I don't discount John 3:5, but I do prefer Jesus's interpretation, and not man's, as with the parallel He gave us in just the very next verse! Grace thru Faith! retxar |

213 | "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" | Acts 16:30 | retxar | 52593 | ||
Why did Christ come? TO SAVE: Matthew 9:13; Luke 19:10; 1 Timothy 1:15. How did He save? NOT BY BAPTISM: John 4:2, HOW THEN? BY BLOOD: Ephesians 1:7; 1 John 1:7; Revelation 1:5. What is the gospel? 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. TO ADD WATER IS HERESY: Galatians 1:8,9. How can one be saved? THROUGH FAITH -- BELIEVING: John 3:14,16,36, 6:47, 8:24, 11:25, 14:1, 20:30,31; Acts 10:43, 13:38; Romans 1:16, 4:3, 4:5, 10:9,10; l Corinthians 1:21; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 1:13; 2 Timothy 1:12; 2 Peter 2:7. Who then should be baptized? THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN SAVED: Acts 2:41, 8:37, 10:47, 16:31-33 | ||||||

216 | the best Manuscripts? | Acts | retxar | 49075 | ||
Thanks Tim, Keep me honest bro and see if the quote I posted checks out or not! To me (if it checks out) this would assure those who might wonder if Acts 8:37 is authentic or not, to believe that it is. I admit it’s not iron clad evidence that Acts 8:37 was dropped from the earlier known manuscripts, but I’m sure anyone would have to admit it is at least a possibility. God bless! retxar |

What's you take on the early church father's quote of Acts 8:37 that preceeded the earlest known manuscripts? What could they have been reading? thanks, retxar |

218 | the best Manuscripts? | Acts | retxar | 49039 | ||
Thanks justme! You said "Therefore if some verse or writing entry show up after the earliest manuscripts it would be a reasonable conclusion that writing entry, or verse was added later." I understand what you are saying, however, what were the early church fathers reading from in the 2nd and 3rd century that seems to be quotes from what is supposable only found in later manuscripts and not the earliest known manuscripts? Example: Cyprian in Treatise XII, Book III, 43 is quoted as saying "Lo, here is water; what is there which hinders me from being baptized? Then said Philip, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest." Cyprian became a Christian in A.D.246 and was martyred in A.D.258, so this quote occurred during this time. This date precedes all known manuscripts of Acts. What he quoted was as Acts 8:36-37 reads in the later manuscripts that the KJV and NKJV are based on, not the earlier manuscripts that the NIV and NASB are based on. If you care to dig into it, I think you will find that most of the early church father’s from the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, century, quoted scripture that consisted of the longer/additional verses as found in the later Antioch manuscripts instead of scripture that consisted of the shorter/missing verses as found in the earlier Egyptian manuscripts. Study to show thyself approved! retxar retxar |

219 | the best Manuscripts? | Acts | retxar | 48925 | ||
Greetings justme! The early church fathers usually quoted the longer or additional verses in question as the KJV/NKJV typically reads, rather than the shorter or omitted verses as most modern translations typically read. This would indicate, to me anyway, that the verses in question were from omissions rather than from additions. Check out http://www.geocities.com/lasttrumpet_2000/theo/kjv2.html (I’m not endorsing this site, only pointing you to a source of info). In the beginning was the Word! retxar |

220 | Is speaking in tongues for today? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 47948 | ||
Greetings Biynah I’m still at a loss of when and where I responded to any of your post other than those I answered as a direct response to what seemed to be an attempt to stir things up a bit. I know how easy it is to get confused to who you might be talking to here, so maybe you thought I was someone else, as your original response to me had no hint of addressing anything I had said in the post you were responding to. If you check the tree, I’m sure you will see that I am correct. If not, please show me where I have erred. Anyway, if you are a true seeker, I would be happy to show you what the Word revealed to me concerning the relevance of tongues being a valid spiritual gift today. Actually, since the Word does not say that any of the spiritual gifts given the church were temporary, the burden of proof would be on you to scripturally prove otherwise. The 1Co 13:8 reference you gave is a good reference that, when taken in context, is strong scriptural evidence that tongues WILL exist until Jesus’s kingdom is complete (1Co 13:10), and will not cease before that. If one insists that 1Co 13:8 is saying that tongues have already ceased, we must also say that knowledge has ceased. Are we living in the last days? The Word says that in the last days that knowledge would increase, not cease (Dan 12:4). The Word says the same thing about prophesies (Acts 2:17). If you wish to defend a “tongues have ceased position” by saying that “when that which is perfect has come”, found in 1Co 13:10, is referring to the completion of the NT, show me anywhere in the Word that the term “face to face”, as found in 1Co 13:12, ever means written words and someone’s face. Also, do you know everything completely, just as God knows you now? (1Co 13:12 ) I sure don’t! In 1Co 1:7 Paul said to the church at Corinth “Now you have every spiritual gift you need as you eagerly wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.” This scripture is clear that they NEEDED all the spiritual gifts they had until Jesus returned. We know for a fact that one of the gifts that Paul said they had and needed was tongues, so it does not make since that Jesus’s church today would not also need that gift, along with the others, until His return. Regardless of whether we ever agree of not, please remember what 1Co 13 is all about. Let’s not get so caught up in ourselves that we forget how we are to act toward one another. Love never fails! retxar |
