Hi big.. Spirit and soul are probably more, then less, intertwined, so, I think, both, go to wherever one goes, after death. Of course a spirit/soul apart from God has no real life in it, or light of, or from God, so, we consider it, dead. God bless John |

22 | Ammonites and Moabites today? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 196895 | ||
Hi Cheri, I found this at, http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01431b.htm -- "Justin Martyr refers to them as a numerous people in his day, but in the course of the next century they vanish completely from the view of history." -- There is much more to read about them of course, but it looks like as far as; who they might be related to today?... They are dust in the wind. However, you can probably find more and varied opinions, as to, where they may have gone or even if they are, somehow, still around. :-) God bless John |

24 | strongs concordance mediums | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 197818 | ||
Hello silvercoins, Welcome to the forum! I don't think that Strongs has the word mediums because Strongs is compatible with the King James, and I don't think the word mediums is in the King James. Try using the word witch or witchcraft. The NASB does use the word mediums. I don't think any translation uses the word psychics, but, of course, I could be wrong about that. God bless John |

25 | What does anyone know about the Institut | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 198606 | ||
Hi servant, Welcome to The Bible Study Forum. The Institute In Basic Life Principles, I believe, happens to be a cult, based on extreme legalism. By the way this is a Bible study. Do you have a Bible question? God bless John |

26 | . God, who is omnipotent, could have us | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 198668 | ||
Hi jingjing, Welcome to the forum! That is a good question. I think though that we do have something pretty extraordinary, 66 books, God's Word. God the creator of all, has given us all we need to get to know Him. Thats pretty amazing don't you think? And in it are histories and wonderful true stories of many truly extraordinary events, and yet He has given all this to ordinary men to spread through the lost world. And it is the power of that Word that saves men's souls, not those who spread it. Even from the mouths of ordinary men He is able to save. That my friend is truly extraordinary! oh and by the way, I don't know why... :-) God bless John |

28 | seers and prophets | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 199205 | ||
Hi nandi, Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! Seers and Prophets can be the same, but that would depend greatly on, to whom you are referring! Mic 3:7 The seers will be ashamed And the diviners will be embarrassed. Indeed, they will all cover their mouths Because there is no answer from God. See verse above too. God bless John |

29 | seers and prophets | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 199207 | ||
oops! Sorry. The other verse I was referring to is, 2 Kings 9:22 When Joram saw Jehu, he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, How can peace exist as long as the fornications of your mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many? It may not be in context with your question, but I think it reveals God's heart on the matter. God bless John |

Hi Gb Sence God is soveren, and, being soverin means He is the controller of everiething, and, everiething would be includeing evil, and, God is love, and, scripture says, love does no evil, and, it also says God is Good, and, sence good is antonim for evil.... etc. Well. as you can see, it can be argued both ways. God is Good, and, perfectly good. No, He does no evil. God bless John |

36 | An interesting look at John 3:5 | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 200788 | ||
Hi ChildofGod; Welcome to the forum! May I ask, what is your friends "way" of looking at this? To my knowledge, there are several ways, by the way, and I don't happen to agree with natural birth, I don't think John 3:5 refers to the water of natural birth at all. Eph 5:25b-26 "just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word," The Holy Spirit, works through the word of God to bring forth a change in the heart of man that we may Believe in Him. The Word of God is the water. John 4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." John 7:38 "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'" When we speak the word of God it is the rivers of living water that flows from our hearts. Water, is referring to the Word of God that flows from our hearts. It is that very Word of God, the water of the Word, that "washing of the water with the word" that brings the lost the gift of faith in Him who is sufficient to save. Rom 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. Christ; is the living water, and it's by the Holy Spirit working through the word, that is the water that He is referring to in John 3:5 to be "born again". He is not speaking of temporal things, but spiritual things. John 3:12 "If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? God bless John |

38 | Should the Bible be free? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 202536 | ||
Hi imreoux; Welcome to the forum! This is really not a bible study question, though I think it has merit, so, I will entertain it without followup, so as not to encourage such. The copyright restrictions on the Bible are there to guard against those that would copy and sell them for profit. You or anyone else may freely read, study, copy and distribute, The Word of God, as much as you want! I have never nor do I believe you will ever hear that the use of God's Word, would be encumbered by strict copyright rules, other then for sale or profit. So feel free my friend, use, read, study, and give out the Word of God as much as you like, any and all may be used to your hearts desire and delight! That is, those that are accepted as orthodox. :-) As to breaking mans law: There are times when God's instructions trump mans laws! Mark 16:15 "And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." Thats God speaking, by the way. Who are you going to listen to? Note: to your question on this; I believe the reason the KJ is not under copyright law, is that, it has been around so long, it is indeed in what is called the "public domain". Just like some songs can be sung and recorded by anyone without paying someone else, because that someone, is long gone. God bless John |

40 | RESTRICTIVE KINGDOM | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 202896 | ||
Hi openmyheart: Welcome to the forum! "Universal Kingdom" is a term used outside of scripture that simply means all of God's creation. --"The kingdom of God embraces all created intelligence, both in heaven and earth that are willingly subject to the Lord and are in fellowship with him. The kingdom of God is therefore, [universal] in that it includes created angels and men. It is eternal, as God is eternal, and it is spiritual—found within all born-again believers. We enter the kingdom of God when we are born again, and we are then part of that kingdom for eternity."--excerpt from; www.gotquestions.org/kingdom-of-God.html I too, have not to date heard of the term 'Restrictive Kingdom' I suppose that it could be argued that sense everything is part of God's creation, no-one or no-thing is outside of God's creation, that all things are in the Kingdom of God, or [Universal] Kingdom of God; although that would be stretching it quite a bit. Here is some more commentary that I hope proves helpful. God bless John --"Kingdom of God (In Matthew, generally, Kingdom of Heaven). In this expression the innermost teaching of the Old Testament is summed up, but it should be noted that the word kingdom means ruling as well; thus it signifies not so much the actual kingdom as the sway of the king . We find the theocracy sketched in Exodus 19:6; in the establishment of the kingdom, 1 Samuel 8:7: "They have not rejected thee, but me, that I should not reign over them." Still more clearly is it indicated in the promise of the theocratic kingdom, 2 Samuel 7:14-16. It is God Who rules in the theocratic king and Who will avenge any neglect on his part. The Prophets dwell on the thought that God is the Supreme King and that by Him alone all kings rule; And when the temporal monarchy has failed, this same thought of God's ultimate rule over His people is brought into clearer relief till it culminates in the grand prophecy of Daniel 7:13 to which the thoughts of Christ's hearers must have turned when they heard Him speak of His kingdom. In the New Testament the speedy advent of this kingdom is the one theme: "Do penance: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand", said the Baptist, and Christ's opening words to the people do but repeat that message. At every stage in His teaching the advent of this kingdom, its various aspects, its precise meaning, the way in which it is to be attained, form the staple of His discourses, so much so that His discourse is called "the gospel of the kingdom". And the various shades of meaning which the expression bears have to be studied. In the mouth of Christ the "kingdom" means not so much a goal to be attained or a place -- though those meanings are by no means excluded; it is rather a tone of mind (Luke 17:20-21), it stands for an influence which must permeate men's minds if they would be one with Him and attain to His ideals; It is only by realizing these shades of meaning that we can do justice to the parables of the kingdom with their endless variety. At one time the "kingdom" means the sway of grace in men's hearts, e.g. in the parable of the seed growing secretly (Mark 4:26. Matthew 21:43); and thus, too, it is opposed to and explained by the opposite kingdom of the devil (Matthew 4:8; 12:25-26). At another time it is the goal at which we have to aim. Again it is a place where God is pictured as reigning (Mark 14:25). In the second petition of the "Our Father" -- "Thy kingdom come" -- we are taught to pray as well for grace as for glory. As men grew to understand the Divinity of Christ they grew to see that the kingdom of God was also that of Christ -- it was here that the faith of the good thief excelled: "Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom." So, too, as men realized that this kingdom stood for a certain tone of mind, and saw that this peculiar spirit was enshrined in the Church, they began to speak of the Church as "the kingdom of God"; cf. Col., I, 13; I Thess., ii, 12; Apoc., I, 6, 9; v, 10, etc. The kingdom was regarded as Christ's and He presents it to the Father; cf. I Cor., xv, 23-28; II Tim., iv, 1. The kingdom of god means, then, the ruling of God in our hearts; it means those principles which separate us off from the kingdom of the world and the devil; it means the benign sway of grace; it means the Church as that Divine institution whereby we may make sure of attaining the spirit of Christ and so win that ultimate kingdom of God Where He reigns without end in "the holy city, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God" (Revelation 21:2)."-- excerpt(s) from: www.newadvent.org/cathen/08646a.htm |
