24 | Would like comment on Matt. 10:16 | Matt 10:16 | RCSCROLL | 13255 | ||
Our Lord warned his disciples to prepare for persecution. They were to avoid all things which gave advantage to their enemies, all meddling with worldly or political concerns, all appearance of evil or selfishness, and all underhand measures. Christ foretold troubles, not only that the troubles might not be a surprise, but that they might confirm their faith. He tells them what they should suffer, and from whom. Thus Christ has dealt fairly and faithfully with us, in telling us the worst we can meet with in his service; and he would have us deal so with ourselves, in sitting down and counting the cost. Persecutors are worse than beasts, in that they prey upon those of their own kind. The strongest bonds of love and duty, have often been broken through from enmity against Christ. Sufferings from friends and relations are very grievous; nothing cuts more. It appears plainly, that all who will live godly in Christ Jesus must suffer persecution; and we must expect to enter into the kingdom of God through many tribulations. With these predictions of trouble, are counsels and comforts for a time of trial. The disciples of Christ are hated and persecuted as serpents, and their ruin is sought, and they need the serpent's wisdom. Be ye harmless as doves. Not only, do nobody any hurt, but bear nobody any ill-will. Prudent care there must be, but not an anxious, perplexing thought; let this care be cast upon God. The disciples of Christ must think more how to do well, than how to speak well. In case of great peril, the disciples of Christ may go out of the way of danger, though they must not go out of the way of duty. No sinful, unlawful means may be used to escape; for then it is not a door of God's opening. The fear of man brings a snare, a perplexing snare, that disturbs our peace; an entangling snare, by which we are drawn into sin; and, therefore, it must be striven and prayed against. Tribulation, distress, and persecution cannot take away God's love to them, or theirs to him. Fear Him, who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. They must deliver their message publicly, for all are deeply concerned in the doctrine of the gospel. The whole counsel of God must be made known, Acts 20:27. Christ shows them why they should be of good cheer. Their sufferings witnessed against those who oppose his gospel. When God calls us to speak for him, we may depend on him to teach us what to say. A believing prospect of the end of our troubles, will be of great use to support us under them. They may be borne to the end, because the sufferers shall be borne up under them. The strength shall be according to the day. And it is great encouragement to those who are doing Christ's work, that it is a work which shall certainly be done. See how the care of Providence extends to all creatures, even to the sparrows. This should silence all the fears of God's people; Ye are of more value than many sparrows. And the very hairs of your head are all numbered. This denotes the account God takes and keeps of his people. It is our duty, not only to believe in Christ, but to profess that faith, in suffering for him, when we are called to it, as well as in serving him. That denial of Christ only is here meant which is persisted in, and that confession only can have the blessed recompence here promised, which is the real and constant language of faith and love. Religion is worth every thing; all who believe the truth of it, will come up to the price, and make every thing else yield to it. Christ will lead us through sufferings, to glory with him. Those are best prepared for the life to come, that sit most loose to this present life. Though the kindness done to Christ's disciples be ever so small, yet if there be occasion for it, and ability to do no more, it shall be accepted. Christ does not say that they deserve a reward; for we cannot merit any thing from the hand of God; but they shall receive a reward from the free gift of God. Let us boldly confess Christ, and show love to him in all things.lOVE YOUR BROTHER IN CHRIST,RC.Scroll |

27 | Who Killed Goliath? | 2 Sam 21:19 | RCSCROLL | 12565 | ||
David did ELHANAN killed a brother of Goliath. (1.) A warrior of the time of David famed for his exploits. In the Authorized Version (2Sa 21:19) it is recorded that "Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath." The Revised Version here rightly omits the words "the brother of." They were introduced in the Authorized Version to bring this passage into agreement with 1Ch 20:5, where it is said that he "slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath." Goliath the Gittite was killed by David (1Sa 17). The exploit of Elhanan took place late in David's reign. (2.) The son of Dodo, and one of David's warriors (2Sa 23:24). Love in Christ RC.Scroll |

29 | what is the difference. | Gen 1:1 | RCSCROLL | 11836 | ||
As we see Paul talking of himself here in Corintians, the fact remains that the heavens described in Gen would be anything beyond our atmosphere. In 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 Paul talks of three, the first being our atmosphere, second being the universal galaxies and stars, and the latter being the place where God dwells heaven.

30 | Who is OUR? | Gen 1:26 | RCSCROLL | 11832 | ||
Hi, this is more than just God the father, it implies what we call the plural of majesty. Father , Son and Holy Spirit.Just as in the very first bible verse, we read God created the heavens and the earth, well this word for God in Hebrew is Elohym which identifies plural form of Eloah. Just as we read that Jesus was in the begining with God, and that all things were made by him and without him was not anything made.John 1:2-3 Also read colossians 1:15-17 These scriptures give us the very foundation to our claims of the trinity. Love in Christ RC.Scroll | ||||||
31 | Baptism of "Repentance" for Jesus? | Matt 3:14 | RCSCROLL | 11491 | ||
Perhapps since Christ wantd us to follow him, he was setting an example, he never asked us to do anything that he wasn't willing to do himself, I suppose it could also be an allagory to the baptism of the Holy Spirit John 1:33. The father had told John to baptize with water, John 1:33. So Jesus was just obeying what the father had told John to do. And apparently it was to fullfil all righteousness.Love your brother in Christ. RC.Scroll | ||||||
32 | Literal or Paraphrase Translation? | Bible general Archive 1 | RCSCROLL | 10210 | ||

33 | Foolish controversies worthless? | Titus 3:9 | RCSCROLL | 10017 | ||
Titus 3:9 is more about quibbling about issues of law than anything else, as we know geneologies get us no where, because what Christ has done it doesn't matter our bloodline. And another would be wether or not to worship on a particular day or not when we should every day.Any how it would be directly about the law, and since we have Christ we know that it is fullfiled amen .love in Christ your brother RCScroll | ||||||
34 | Question on Eden's rivers, Gen. 2:10ff | Gen 2:10 | RCSCROLL | 9795 | ||
Didn't the incredibly powerful, global catastrophe of the Flood obliterate not only Eden itself, but whatever rivers, mountains, and other geographic features might have existed previously? How could the same Tigris, the same Euphrates, and the places on land which Moses mentions have endured from the time of Eden until Moses? It almost seems that you don't beleive what it say's here, do you know that every year the mississippi floods some places become so flooded that they are under water sometimes for months, yet to the surrounding areas it doesn't lose it's shape nor do the peoples of the area see any other difference's other than structural man made items. So can a flood devestate an area yes, does it change all origanal area's no.When it resides the land masse's are generally the same. Love in Christ RCScroll P.S. in John 4:6-7 shows a well that is two thousand years old, and still giving water for a physical thirst. |

35 | No tattoos at all for any reason? | Lev 19:28 | RCSCROLL | 9777 | ||
Lets remember that in leviticus 19:28 , 'You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD. Lets remember that they are worshipping other gods with their, cuttings and tattoos. I would be under the impression that if one could bring glory to god with a tattoo, then with all do respect do so.Not to challenge your point of view of course. But shouldn't we take all in context, in order to bring glory to God, for if you are correct in your beleif then dont cut your beard or round the corners of your head LEV 19:27. love in Christ RCScroll | ||||||

37 | Can we violate the 4th or all 10? | Col 2:16 | RCSCROLL | 7740 | ||
Our Lord Jesus Christ changed the day, for he was ressurected on a sunday in order to fulfill the sacrificial lamb of the passover, since then we enter into his rest, knowing that our work is completed in him, this is truly rest. If you go to church on saturday praise god, if you do it not because of the law ,for if you do then fulfill the whole law, which means that you cannot start your car to go to church, for you are creating a flame,which is not allowed on the sabbeth. in the new testament the Lords day refered to in scripture is in deed sunday for it came to mean the lords day for that reason. love in Christ RCSCROLL REV 1:10 | ||||||
