Hi 561joshua01 This is the connection between Moses, Jesus, and baptism, and what that baptism is. Jesus is "our" mediator as Moses was for the people. "It is DRY" Acts 3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. Acts 7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. Deuteronomy 18:15,16 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.

Hi brothersmith This message is not unique to this book. The same basic message was preached, to the other churches as well. From God through the indwelling of the Holy Ghost, we gain the gifts spoken of, as God is longsuffering towards us, we are also to be clothed in them towards the brethren. Romans 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Ephesians 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Colossians 1:11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Colossians 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Vintage68 |

Hi brothersmith A prayer for the fulfillment of this attitude in the Romans. Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Now may the God: The fact that Paul puts these words into the form of a prayer demonstrates that he recognizes that this is a work that the Holy Spirit must do inside us. The God of patience: Our God is a God of patience. We are often in so much of a hurry, and God often seems to work too slowly for us. Often the purposes of God seem to be delayed but they always are fulfilled. God's delays are not His denials, and He has a loving purpose in every delay. We love God's patience with His people we need Him to be patient with us! Yet we often resent God's patience with His plan we think He should hurry up. Nevertheless, God is patient both with His people and in His plan. That you may: The goal is to glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. We accomplish that goal by having one mind and one mouth - by unity in our thinking and speech.....David Guzik Here are some synonyms, - - continuance, dedication, determination, endurance Vintage68 |

Hi again Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Let every soul, Inasmuch as he so carefully handles this subject in connection with what forms the Christian life, it appears that he was constrained to do so by some great necessity which existed especially in that age, though the preaching of the gospel at all times renders this necessary. There are indeed always some tumultuous spirits who believe that the kingdom of Christ cannot be sufficiently elevated, unless all earthly powers be abolished, and that they cannot enjoy the liberty given by him, except they shake off every yoke of human subjection. This error, however, possessed the minds of the Jews above all others; for it seemed to them disgraceful that the offspring of Abraham, whose kingdom flourished before the Redeemer’s coming, should now, after his appearance, continue in submission to another power. There was also another thing which alienated the Jews no less than the Gentiles from their rulers, because they all not only hated piety, but also persecuted religion with the most hostile feelings. Hence it seemed unreasonable to acknowledge them for legitimate princes and rulers, who were attempting to take away the kingdom from Christ, the only Lord of heaven and earth. By these reasons, as it is probable, Paul was induced to establish, with greater care than usual, the authority of magistrates, and first he lays down a general precept, which briefly includes what he afterwards says: secondly, he subjoins an exposition and a proof of his precept. He calls them the higher powers, not the supreme, who possess the chief authority, but such as excel other men. Magistrates are then thus called with regard to their subjects, and not as compared with each other. And it seems indeed to me, that the Apostle intended by this word to take away the frivolous curiosity of men, who are wont often to inquire by what right they who rule have obtained their authority; but it ought to be enough for us, that they do rule; for they have not ascended by their own power into this high station, but have been placed there by the Lord’s hand. And by mentioning every soul, he removes every exception, lest any one should claim an immunity from the common duty of obedience. For there is no power, etc. The reason why we ought to be subject to magistrates is, because they are constituted by God’s ordination. For since it pleases God thus to govern the world, he who attempts to invert the order of God, and thus to resist God himself, despises his power; since to despise the providence of him who is the founder of civil power, is to carry on war with him. Understand further, that powers are from God, not as pestilence, and famine, and wars, and other visitations for sin, are said to be from him; but because he has appointed them for the legitimate and just government of the world. For though tyrannies and unjust exercise of power, as they are full of disorder, are not an ordained government; yet the right of government is ordained by God for the well being of mankind. As it is lawful to repel wars and to seek remedies for other evils, hence the Apostle commands us willingly and cheerfully to respect and honor the right and authority of magistrates, as useful to men: for the punishment which God inflicts on men for their sins, we cannot properly call ordinations, but they are the means which he designedly appoints for the preservation of legitimate order. ..... John Calvin All power (authority) is from God, the abuse of power is from what is evil in men, this is probably the reason why Paul does not set limits to the obedience required, we are to honor the position held, not necessarily the man holding it.

Hi brothersmith 1 Peter 2:12-16 12.) Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. 13.) Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 14.) Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. 15.) For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 16.) As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. You are not to be disturbers of the peace; you Christian people are to cultivate the spirit of conciliation wherever you dwell, submitting yourselves, “for the Lord’s sake,” even to come things which you do not like. We are to obey kings, and governors, and magistrates, even when they may not be all that we wish them to be: “Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake:” — True Christians give no trouble in the State they are not law-breakers, but they strive to do that which is honest and upright. Where the laws are not righteous, they may cause trouble to bad law-givers and lawmakers; but when rulers ordain that which is just and righteous, they find that Christians are their best subjects. In Peter’s day, the king was a poor creature, and something worse than that. Indeed, I might say of the bulk of the Emperors of Rome, who were the chief “kings” of that day, that they were monsters of iniquity; yet the office was to be respected even when the man who occupied it could not be much more should it be respected when the occupant is what a true “king” should be. Ignorance, you see, is a noisy thing. An empty drum makes a loud noise when it is beaten; and empty men, like empty vessels, often make the most sound. How then are we to silence this noisy ignorance? By argument? No, for it is not amenable to argument. Ignorance is to be silenced “by well doing.” Holy living is the best reply to infidel talking. Free in yourselves, free in your conscience, free in your mind and heart. .....C.H.Spurgeon Vintage68 |

28 | explain baptism into moses | Bible general Archive 4 | Vintage68 | 216390 | ||
Hi 561joshua01 Prototype of baptism in the Old Covenant The things which we have said, both of mortification and ablution, were adumbrated among the people of Israel, who, for that reason, are described by the apostle as having been baptised in the cloud and in the sea, (1 Cor. 10: 2.) Mortification was figured when the Lord, vindicating them from the hand of Pharaoh and from cruel bondage, paved a way for them through the Red Sea, and drowned Pharaoh himself and their Egyptian foes, who were pressing close behind, and threatening them with destruction. And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. Exod 14:13 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. Exod 14:14 God would save them but Moses believed a version of FAITH ONLY which Calvin calls fanaticism. On the other hand, when God has provided the MEANS and we reject His counsel then He will not give what we could never provide. And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: Exod 14:15 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. Exod 14:16 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. Exod 14:17 For in this way also he promises us in baptism, and shows by a given sign that we are led by his might, and delivered from the captivity of Egypt, that is, from the bondage of sin, that our Pharaoh is drowned; in other words, the devil, although he ceases not to try and harass us. But as that Egyptian was not plunged into the depth of the sea, but cast out upon the shore, still alarmed the Israelites by the terror of his look, though he could not hurt them, so our enemy still threatens, shows his arms and is felt, but cannot conquer. The cloud was a symbol of purification, (Num. 9: 18.) For as the Lord then covered them by an opposite cloud, and kept them cool, that they might not faint or pine away under the burning rays of the sun; so in baptism we perceive that we are covered and protected by the blood of Christ, lest the wrath of God, which is truly an intolerable flame, should lie upon us. The CLOUD literally covered them even though it was an OUTWARD SIGN of God Who gave it! Although the mystery was then obscure, and known to few, yet as there is no other method of obtaining salvation than in those two graces, God was pleased that the ancient fathers, whom he had adopted as heirs, should be furnished with both badges. (We are not by the rite of baptism set free from original sin, but by it we make confession of faith before men, 10-13) [Baptism does not free one from the propensity to sin.].........John Calvin Vintage68 |

Hi Asure From what the person said originally, from your own thoughts on their statement, then the responses you have received. It would appear as though everyone is only concentrating upon other Christians. How we relate to those closest to ourselves. If I am wrong in this please forgive. But in looking at the context of the chapter, the verse in question falls within a context of our relating to the people that might be persecuting us. Those that would in all respect be the hardest to relate to. This context runs from verse 14 all the way to the end of the chapter verse 21 Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Rom. 12:14-17 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 1 Corinthians 9:22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. As far as which one is the more important, there isn't any comparison made. But it is important that we also do these things with the lost . Vintage68 |

31 | I see alot of people are using the title | Acts | Vintage68 | 216214 | ||
Hi Hood Rat The people holding the cessationist belief always seem to wrap things up so neatly, stating all of the qualifications that one would need, in order for a person to be called an apostle. There are four other parts of what is called the five fold ministry, did they also have to meet this criteria? Special Qualifications: The qualifications of the apostles Acts 1:21-22. They must have been with Jesus during His earthly ministry (v.21), been baptized by John the Baptist (v.22), and been eyewitnesses of the resurrected Christ (v.22). Then conveniently they claim Paul was given a special exemption, so he could become an apostle, he was an eyewitness of the resurrected Christ This is the type of thing that is so often done, when there isn't any scripture to back up the argument. This is what happens when we all know for a certainty, PAUL "was" an apostle, so the only way the cessationist belief can come about is to pull up an assumption, that he was given an exemption, which cannot be documented. None of the other apostles were given any kind of exemption, they fulfilled this criteria, even Matthias had to fulfill this supposed criteria. Vintage68 |

Hi Mommapbs Does God truly give us the bitter cup, for His glory? Are we to use Jesus as our example, for accepting physical, mental suffering? Jesus in the garden, submitting Himself to the will of God. Jesus knew what the plan of redemption was, He was not demonstrating to us how we are to accept disease, illness, physical suffering into our lives. He was accepting the will of God into His life, in order to complete the work He was sent to do here on earth. He was going to be taking upon Himself all of the sins of the world, as well as all of the sicknesses, diseases. That night in the garden, He was truly 100 percent flesh, with all of it's frailties, fears. We hear in His own words the anguish He was feeling, the same as we have all felt, being alone. He was being tempted to run away from tomorrow. As a man He did not want to go through with what lay before Him, He had to pray as a man for Gods will to be done. He had come to the point we all must come to, being totally alone in the world. He had to have Faith in God, that He would do what He had promised. Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness. (Jas.2:23) Jesus believed God, so that we would become the righteousness of God in Christ. (Rom.3:22) We are to believe God, to complete the work He has begun (Phil.1:6) Vintage68 |

37 | An Enemy Has Done This! (Matt 13:24-30) | Bible general Archive 4 | Vintage68 | 215542 | ||
Hi humility In order for you to be able to understand, the meaning to be found within this or any parable, you first have to understand, a parable was a tool Jesus used, to tell truth to the Jewish people, without them ever being able, to come to the knowledge of that truth. The use of the parables of Jesus were for the express purpose of Him fulfilling Prophesy. To be a teaching tool as some have espoused, is a false assumption. Jesus was speaking to the (Jewish people), knowing they (could not, would not, and did not), ever come to the knowledge to be found within His parables. Therefore how is it a teaching tool for their benefit? As far as it being a teaching tool for his disciples, it really isn't a teaching tool for them either, on the grounds, if Jesus was not speaking to the Jews, he would have given the understanding, knowledge and wisdom to be found in the parables, to the disciples in plain language, just as He had always done, with everything else He had ever taught them. The truth to be found in the parables of Jesus, are always, without exception, only about the Kingdom of God (Heaven). The following verses are for us, for the opening of our eyes to the knowledge about His kingdom. Matt. 13:10-17 10.) And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11.) He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12.) For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 13.) Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14.) And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15.) For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 16.) But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 17.) For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. With all of the ground work now done, we come to your question. First read the parable, remembering what a parable is, and what it is teaching. Jesus sets out the 4 parts of this parable, in his explanation. Read slowly, carefully, deliberately letting the Holy Spirit, speak to you personally, this will help you to understand. part 1: Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; part 2: the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. Part 3: As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. part 4: Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Question: "How could I uproot the wheat along with the tares" Answer: Do you now see, it isn't you that will be doing the uprooting? Question: "How could the wheat and the tares be yoked together?" Answer: Do you now see, they are not yoked together, they have been planted separately by the enemy. Hope this helps Vintage68 |

38 | books that are not pauls | NT general | Vintage68 | 215507 | ||
Hi LJ777 These are the books that are accredited to Paul, although there are some scholars that disagree as to who wrote some of them, I am of the belief, that Paul did write all of these books. On the grounds, first, they have been added into the canon of scripture with his name as author. Second, it really doesn't matter if he wrote them or not, because they are in the bible, and they are not about ready to be taken out. So taking this list, going to your own bible, you can find out for yourself which ones he did not write.

39 | holy spirit , speaking in tongue benfits | Bible general Archive 4 | Vintage68 | 215504 | ||
Hi Ron886 "Question: " how does speaking in a unknown tongue benefit our spirit." The answer to that is, we are not told how it does, but we are told it does happen, that we should pray in an unknown tongue, for the edification of our spirit, when we pray privately, and for the edification of the Church, when we prophesy. 1 Corinthians 14:2-4 2.) For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3.) But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 4.) He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. We see from these verses that a person that speaks in an Unknown Tongue, speaks only to God, and thereby is edified, but when he speaks in public, the whole church is edified. We are then told by Paul, the speaking in tongues should not be forbidden, but the gift of speaking in tongues should be in order, with his teaching. 1 Corinthians 14:39 39.) Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 40.) Let all things be done decently and in order. Vintage68 |

40 | no red letters in Revelation, why? | Rev 1:8 | Vintage68 | 215470 | ||
The term red letter edition is used to describe Bibles in which words spoken by Jesus, commonly only while he was on the Earth, are printed in red ink. The red letter edition was invented by Louis Klopsch, then editor of The Christian Herald magazine in 1899, and first published in 1900. This style of Bible instantly became popular, and is sometimes favored by Christians in the United States. Especially in King James Bibles, this format can be useful as quotation marks are not used. The idea of printing the words of Jesus in red originates in Luke 22:20, which says: This cup is the new testament in my blood, which I shed for you. This inspired Klopsch to ask his mentor what he thought of printing the words spoken by Jesus in red, to which he replied, "It could do no harm and it most certainly could do much good." - - - - - Wikipedia |
