21 | Heaven is our home. | Mark | Aspilos | 62080 | ||
CDBJ You've got my attention. I'm listening! Bendiciones! Aspilos |
||||||
22 | Heaven is our home. | Mark | Aspilos | 62100 | ||
Okay CDBJ, you're killing me with curiousity. You asked me about, "a person" but I'm not sure I'm following your question. I don't know if this is where you're going or not, but this is a verse that comes to mind. Ephesians 2:6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, Bendiciones! Aspilos |
||||||
23 | Heaven is our home. | Mark | Aspilos | 62116 | ||
May I add to that last verse? 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. Bendiciones! Aspilos |
||||||
24 | Heaven is our home. | Mark | Aspilos | 62118 | ||
CDBJ That's an interesting point. As for Christ sitting on the throne, won't that take place when all things are finished? Bendiciones! Aspilos |
||||||
25 | Heaven is our home. | Mark | Aspilos | 62119 | ||
EdB I hope you don't mind me asking you this question. I do so, more out of curiousity. When you said, "any place our Lord and Savior resides is Heaven" were you including the Spirit making His abode in the believer? Bendiciones! Aspilos |
||||||
26 | Heaven is our home. | Mark | Aspilos | 62413 | ||
CDBJ I did understand what you where talking about. I guess I was just changing the subject. I don't believe the Lord is ever far from us, and of course this is all speculation, but do you believe that if it is possible for the Spirit to open someones eyes to see what they normally could not (as He did with Stephen), He could also give them the abliliy to see much further than normal? Just a thought. Bendiciones! Aspilos |

27 | Heaven is our home. | Mark | Aspilos | 62578 | ||
Elice, May God bless you! I was wondering, from what version is the above John 14:2-3 that you included in this post? I don't believe I'm familiar with it. Aspilos means, spotless. It is translated in the following scripture as, "without spot". 2 Peter 3:13-14 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. We are commanded to, "be diligent" because of the adversary's attempt to deceive us. Therefore, I believe we should pay close attention to the interpretation of others and judge if it is of the truth or not. It is my goal that I be, "found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless". Bendiciones! Aspilos |

28 | Why the eye? | Luke 11:34 | Aspilos | 61447 | ||
The Pharisees didn't exactly accept the Lord with open arms. Is is possible too, that he may have seen darkness in the form of hatred in their eyes? | ||||||
29 | Why the eye? | Luke 11:34 | Aspilos | 61449 | ||
Thanks for your reply BB. I believe your reply was accurate, but I guess what I was wondering was whether the Lord was pointing out that the eye reveals something about the soul. For example, when someone is hateful it usually shows up in the eyes. Bendiciones! Aspilos |

30 | Does the Bible predict Christianity? | Luke 18:8 | Aspilos | 177897 | ||
Mark, thanks for the answers. I thought this over a bit before I posted the question and was already thinking along the same lines before I received any replies. It seems like the early Christian writers actually predicted more of a decline in the church than growth. Even as Paul was bidding farewell to the Ephesians in Acts he stated, "...after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock." I know he was talking about false teachers entering and polluting the truth. Two millenniums later in time, the deceit must be at an all time high. No? I think Doc's example of Genesis 22:17 could be in reference to the church all throughout the ages from beginning to end. Bendiciones! Aspilos |

31 | Does the Bible predict Christianity? | Luke 18:8 | Aspilos | 177908 | ||
Hank, I didn't make it clear in the question but I was aiming more toward end-time prophecy that pointed to a Christian movement of great numbers. Bendiciones! Aspilos |
||||||
32 | What is Dominion Theology? | Luke 18:8 | Aspilos | 177938 | ||
Doc and Mark, thanks for the explanation. Now I see why you brought that up. I'd say that even the scripture examples that Mark gave earlier disagrees with that idea. Doc, you did well. Bendiciones de paz y alegria, mi hermano en Christo. Bendiciones! Aspilos |

33 | Is this heaven or the family? | John 14:2 | Aspilos | 61822 | ||
Speaking of heaven, I do hope to meet you there also Hank. I don't want you to think that I was insinuating that I do not believe in such a place, for indeed I do. I'm sure understanding it is as you say, beyond our comprehension. I don't however, believe that understanding the Lord's message is necessarily that difficult. I often hear persons refer to the Lord's statement in the above verse, (I go to prepare a place for you) as though He was on His way to heaven with a hammer in his hand. I just don't see it. Was I wrong in pointing out that Jesus and the Father would come to us to make their dwelling? Your answer surprised me. Not that you did a bad job or anything, but I usually find your replies to be a bit more intriguing. Bendiciones! Aspilos |

34 | Is this heaven or the family? | John 14:2 | Aspilos | 61835 | ||
Greetings Hank! Thanks at least for your honesty. I have to tell you though, whether it be your intention or not, your replies generally are quite intriguing. I think it's the way you artistically combine wit with wisdom, but I'm not here to flatter you. :-) On an ending note: It doesn't seem that the Lord is talking about heaven here, but rather about you and I being the habitation of God. I don't believe this requires any speculation. Bendiciones! Aspilos |

35 | Is this heaven or the family? | John 14:2 | Aspilos | 61836 | ||
CDBJ Greetings! I don't want to leave anyone with the impression that I don't believe in heaven because I do, but I don't think this scripture is speaking of heaven, but rather you and I being God's habitation. If you read further into the chapter you'll see where the Lord tells His disciples that He and the Father will make their abode with them. Paul later shared this same message with the Ephesians. Ephesians 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. Bendiciones! Aspilos |

36 | Is this heaven or the family? | John 14:2 | Aspilos | 61863 | ||
Ray, thanks for the assurance! The comparisons make absolute sense. I'm amazed at how so many fail to see exactly what this scripture is all about. I looked at it the same way for years. It was right under my nose and I didn't know it. Thank the Lord for His Light! Bendiciones! Aspilos |

37 | Is this heaven or the family? | John 14:2 | Aspilos | 61902 | ||
Tim, thanks for the reply and your comments are always welcome as far as I'm concerned. Sorry for not getting back sooner, but my schedule doesn't always allow me time to repond so promptly. The more wisdom I read from the members of this forum can only help to further my understanding. But, if I may, I would also like to reply to your statements. 1) "I am going" in v. 20 indicates a physical journey. True, because that physical journey was to the cross. 2) "Where" is the paricle 'hupou', which has the basic meaning of a physical location. Again true, since that location is in our hearts. "I am" 'eimi' is present indicative, so the Lord is saying to His disciples, “where I am” not where I will be, “there you may be also.” It is obvious that He was there with them at that time, but he meant something more. 10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? Again He says, "I am" 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 3) V. 4 again speaks of a physical location by saying, 'You know the way to the place where I am going...'. The way of course is Christ (although He is not a road in the physical sense), which further strengthens what I believe. He is the only way to becoming a son of God and a member of the Father's family. Bendiciones! Aspilos |

Ray, thanks again for the words of encouragement. Here's another one that you may have overlooked. KJV 1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Bendiciones! Aspilos |

Elice, I think you're on to something. Thanks for the remarks. Bendiciones! Aspilos |

Greetings CDBJ, I'm a firefighter by trade, not a scholar, but I have studied the Greek for a few years now. I probably know enough to get me into trouble. Just being honest. I don't believe it's everything though. There are many who know the original languages much better than I and still don't see the things that you and I share. Those things are given to us, as I'm sure you well know. To Him be the glory. God bless you my brother. Bendiciones! Aspilos |
