21 | Was Jesus born a Pharisee? | NT general Archive 1 | newoldstock | 96226 | ||
Was Jesus born a Pharisee? Were the religious views of Joseph and Jesus basically Pharisee? | ||||||
22 | I don't understand how we can interpret | Matt 2:23 | newoldstock | 95291 | ||
Ray, thanks. I agree with you about (Rod) and (He). I am convinced that Isaiah is prophesying about Jesus the Messiah. I don't understand how we can interpret that (branch) is (Nazarene). It almost seems like biblical scholars came up with this reference verse to make something fit when they could not find a direct match. God Bless. Jim | ||||||
23 | Even if the root word is branch, how did | Matt 2:23 | newoldstock | 95268 | ||
Thanks Emmaus. Amplified says in brackets "branch or Separated One". I think that separated one would be Nazarite. Such as one who has taken a Nazarite vow.I appreciate your help, but to me it looks like the commentators are really reaching out on a "thin branch" for this one. Even if the root word is branch, how did Matthew get "He shall be called a Nazarene" from "then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse,And a branch from his roots will bear fruit."? Perhaps this quote is from a book that is missing or didn't make it into the Cannon. Jim | ||||||
24 | "He shall be called a Nazarene."? | Matt 2:23 | newoldstock | 95216 | ||
I am doing a detailed bible study of Matthew and can not find a reference in the Old Testament for "He shall be called a Nazarene." The Amplified I notice says the ref. is Isa. 11:1 Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse,And a branch from his roots will bear fruit. I don't see how it can be the proper reference. I can't see how I could pull "He shall ge called a Nazanene" from Isa. 11:1. Do you know of any other reference? | ||||||
25 | Effect on a "Seekers" service? | 1 Cor 5:12 | newoldstock | 93429 | ||
Makarios,perhaps you are aware that Bill Hybles and the Willowcreek Church have what is called a "Seeker" service and have a "Followers" service on Wed. evenings. Might not many of the "Seekers" still be "living in sin"? My guess is that several of the "seekers" in this church are living together and not married. What effect would this scene have on them? Would it drive "Seekers" away from the Church, before they become born again "Followers"? I am not disagreeing with you. These questions have been asked of me concerning this situation. |

26 | How do we discipline church members? | Matt 18:15 | newoldstock | 93408 | ||
This question is concerning a true event that was recently related to me and is not hypothetical. A woman told her husband, a church deacon, that she could not longer stand being married to him. She moved out and within two weeks moved in with another man. She continued to attend the church with the new boy friend. The pastor spoke to her about the unappropriateness of her continuing to attend church under the circumstances. She replied that she loved the church and the congregants and had no intention of leaving their fellowship. The minister next visited her with several other deacons to discuss the situation, but she still continued to attend services with her new man. Finally, the minister brought the situation up in a church service attended by the woman and the man, and she ran out the door in tears and never returned. These are the only details that I know. Was this the correct way to handle this? How would your congregation have handled it? | ||||||

28 | What is the meaning of Matthew 11:12? | Matt 11:12 | newoldstock | 93394 | ||
What is the meaning of Matthew 11:12? I have heard several theories, but it is a confusing verse for most. I'm am not so sure about the Amplified's brackets on this one. I am studying Mat. tonight and decided to ask you kind folks your interpretation. Many thanks. Jim. | ||||||
29 | Should a divorced person remarry? | Matt 5:31 | newoldstock | 92518 | ||
Should a divorced man or woman remarry? Mat.5:31-32 has perplexed me. I am married to a woman for 33 years now who was previously married and divorced for reasons other than unfaithfullness. We are Christians so I know that God has forgiven this "sin" (was it?), but do we continue to sin by remaining married? Would it be a greater sin to now divorce due to continuing to make each other Adulterers and Adulteresses? | ||||||
30 | Effect of Christian Universalism ? | John 14:6 | newoldstock | 92068 | ||
How do you feel about what I would call Christian Universalism creeping into the Mainline denominations? One year ago I left the UMC that I had been a member of for 20 years. The main reason was because both senior and associate pastors believed that everyone will go to heaven. What do you think. 1st. post. | ||||||
