21 | The APOCALYPSE CODE. | Bible general Archive 3 | InGodITrust | 189774 | ||
Kalos, My sincerest appology. Unfortunately "after" I posted a response is when I realized it was part of the MacArthur quote. I am a staunch defender of dispensationalism and Dr.John MacArthur. Like so many things in Christianity what started out as Biblically based truth, that of the original dispensationalist teaching, has been all turned around and twisted to where, now, it is being attacked without qualification. I too realized after looking at your personal profile, that there is no way I have known MacArthur longer than you've been alive (I'm 59) Again, my apology, not beena an easy day for me. Hank Hanegraaff has stirred up all kinds of problems for Biblical dispensationalism. Also, I am a die-hard to the death defender of the Jews and Israel to a fault.... We (remember I used to be a gentle) owe everything to God's chosen the Jews, as the gentiles were grafted in to the original roots of Judaism. Many, if not most, of America's churches are turning their back on the Jews and making claims that "the church is spiritual Israel." Of course this has been prophesied but it sickens me and scares me that America is headed for doom. God bless America as I too fought for her and our freedoms in Southeast Asia. Anyway Kalos, I violated my own sacred rules and was unfair and unkind to your first response. Please forgive me and let's move on. (I love John MacArthur, have followed him since he graduated from Talbot.) InGodITrust |

22 | The APOCALYPSE CODE. | Bible general Archive 3 | InGodITrust | 189768 | ||
kalos, My friend, obviously you don't understand what I do about dispensationalism. I have followed John MacArthur probibly longer than you have been alive. Honestly, your own words before you quote John MacArthur condradict what MacArthur is stating. You apparantly don't understand the balanced Biblical view of dispensationalism as I and MacArthur do. I couldn't agree more with John. I firmly believe that the church and Israel are completely seperate, "I am Jewish and born again." Please "don't judge a book by it's cover." (and if you do please read mine) If I misunderstood you please except my appology but your initial statement contradicts what MacArthur and a correct position on dispensationalism is all about. Sincerely at your service, InGodITrust |

23 | what bibile say about islam | John 10:1 | InGodITrust | 189729 | ||
Greetings bill 1973, Or, is it dhill1? You addressed your response to bill but it came to me. The question was "does the Bible say anything (specifically) about Islam. The answer is no it does not. Thank you for the input though. Colossians 4:6 Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person. InGodITrust |

25 | Wandering in the Desert | Exodus | InGodITrust | 189305 | ||
chaplin, I know the feeling. Those who are earnestly trying to serve the Lord, I'm convinced, will have many desert experiences. The pie in the sky theology of today leaves many of us thinking that we have missed God somehow. Anyone who reads through the Bible will find out God's choicest servants "were not on easy street." If we can be of any more help feel free to let us know. There are many folks on the Forum "who have been there and done that." "I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the poor. Surely the righteous will give thanks to Thy name; the upright will dwell in Thy presence." Psalm 140:12,13 May God richly bless you brother chaplin, InGodITrust |

Goodmorning John, Thank you for the info. Yes I am well aware that one must be very cautious when using any source. However, in my case, I use Wikipedia simply to refresh my memory. It is so bad I have to keep a photo ID in my wallet to remind me who I am and where I live! May the Lord of Glory be with you today, InGodITrust |

29 | Who are the "sons of God" in Genesis 6? | Gen 6:2 | InGodITrust | 189226 | ||
Greetings OldPilgrim, You got me "flat-footed." My knowledge and studies are confined to New Testament doctrine. I am very weak in the Old Testament. Found out about my Jewish heritage only 5 months ago. I am anything but a scholar, but thank you for the thought!! Also, it is my understanding that the Jewish authorities did not translate the Septuagint into Greek until sometime around 500-600 bc. As far as a suitable Greek word one can only speculate. Right or wrong, whenever I am trying to draw a conclusion to controversial Scriptural issues, I try to look back through history to what those of reputation interpreted it to be. That, in light of what modern scholars of good reputation have found discovered in their studies. With all the technology we have today it behoves us to compare that with history. Usually, if a present day Bible teacher or scholar does not have "most all of his ducks in a row," I don't consider them necessarily reliable. A big mistake Bible students make is that they don't compare "the source." Just because so and so said it, does not make it worthy of consideration. We live in a day and age where "every Tom, Dick, and Harry," have their own opinion. Usually to the great detriment of Scriptural accuracy. Unfortunately, here on the Forum, that is too ofton the case. My opinion or yours or anyone else's is not worth much if we do not balance everything out and consider, most of all, the source in which we conclude our opinion. Wow, I did not mean to get on my high horse, guess I did so as I just came in from church! Sorry I could not be of help in your sincere quest to find an answer. Frankly when it concerns this subject, there may not be one. You have a really good point though, one should very seriously consider Jewish sources, no matter if Messianic or not, when it concerns Old Testament interpretation. Much blessings to you my friend, InGodITrust |

31 | Who are the "sons of God" in Genesis 6? | Gen 6:2 | InGodITrust | 189174 | ||
Hopalong, As I indicated earlier, here is the traditional position on the matter: "Who were the sons of God and daughters of men in Genesis 6:1-4?” Answer: Genesis 6:1-4 tells us, "When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years." The Nephilim were on the earth in those days and also afterward when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown." There have been several suggestions as to who the sons of God were, and why the children they had with daughters of men grew into a race of giants (that is what the word Nephilim seems to indicate). The three primary views on the identity of the "sons of God" are that (1) they were fallen angels, or (2) they were powerful human rulers, or (3) they were godly descendants of Seth intermarrying with wicked descendants of Cain. Giving weight to (1) is the fact that in the Old Testament the phrase "sons of God" always refers to angels (Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7). A potential problem with (1) is the fact that Matthew 22:30 indicates that angels do not marry. The Bible gives us no reason to believe that angels have a gender, or are able to reproduce. Views (2) and (3) do not have this problem. The weakness of views (2) and (3) is that ordinary human males marrying ordinary human females does not account for why the offspring were "giants" or "heroes of old, men of renown." Further, why would God decide to bring the Flood on the earth (Genesis 6:5-7) when God had never forbidden powerful human males or descendants of Seth to marry ordinary human females or descendants of Cain. The oncoming judgment of Genesis 6:5-7 is linked to what took place in Genesis 6:1-4. Only the obscene, perverse marriage of fallen angels with human females would seem to justify such a harsh judgment. The weakness of view (1) is that Matthew 22:30 declares, “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.” However, this weakness can be overcome by noting that the text does not say “angels are not able to marry.” Rather, it indicates only that angels do not marry. Secondly, Matthew 22:30 is referring to the “angels in heaven.” It is not referring to fallen angels, who do not care about God’s created order and actively seek ways to disrupt God’s plan. The fact that God’s holy angels do not marry or engage in sexual relations does not mean the same is true of Satan and his demons. View (1) is the most likely position. Yes, it is an interesting “contradiction” to say that angels are sexless and then to say that the “sons of God” were fallen angels who procreated with human females. However, while angels are spiritual beings (Hebrews 1:14), they can appear in human, physical form (Mark 16:5). The men of Sodom and Gomorrah wanted to have sex with the two angels who were with Lot (Genesis 19:1-5). It is plausible that angels are capable of taking on human form, even to the point of replicating human sexuality and possibly even reproduction. Why do the fallen angels not do this more often? It seems that God imprisoned the fallen angels who committed this evil sin, so that the other fallen angels would not do the same (as described in Jude 6). Earlier Hebrew interpreters, apocryphal, and pseudopigriphal writings are unanimous in holding to the view that fallen angels are the "sons of God" mentioned in Genesis 6:1-4. This by no means closes the debate. However, the view that Genesis 6:1-4 involves fallen angels mating with human females has a strong contextual, grammatical, and historical basis. I rest my case, although it probibly won't sit still! InGodITrust |

32 | Who are the "sons of God" in Genesis 6? | Gen 6:2 | InGodITrust | 189166 | ||
Dear Azure, Thank you, but I do believe, that my reply (not because I think so) is the correct one. Anyone who traces all the uses of the term "sons of God," would have to conclude it is a generic term since God the Father of all creation would naturally refer to His creatures as "sons of God." The very term implies, all by itself, God is the Father, meaning the Begetting One, who created all things before sin ever entered the scene. I rest my case, even if (God forbid) I am wrong. Blessings abundantly to you Azure, InGodITrust |

33 | Who are the "sons of God" in Genesis 6? | Gen 6:2 | InGodITrust | 189158 | ||
Greetings John, I hate to throw a monkey wrench into your assumptions but I have heard several times over the years by Biblical scholars that the Bible refers to "sons of God" in a very general way at times. The way this is resolved is what God would have said "before" the fall. All of His creations were then referred to as "sons of God" This is the traditional view held by most going way back in Church history. I know it does not agree with what we normally would think of as sons of God, but in the beginning before sin, they we all "sons of God." The term "sons of God," is a generic term (usually) as God Himself created each and every one making them all "sons of God." I did not look up all the arguments over the last few days so forgive me if I "got in the middle." Much love and grace to you, InGodITrust |

John, God loves you and so do I; greetings my friend. I took the easy way out and responded with "the traditionl answer." In times past I had looked into this controversial issue and felt satisfied with the over all argument. It's my understanding that, at times, the Bible refers to "the sons of God," as His creations before the fall of Satan and those that followed him. Without going to (all the trouble) restudy this subject I will just let whomever follow up with their observations................Okeedokee?? God bless ya my friend, InGodITrust |

Cheri, Well Ok, "you take the heat!"..... The Name Above Every Name Jesus is the Light of men He’ll forgive you of your sin. God’s Word says He’s the Chosen One, On the cross His work was done. He’s Master, Teacher, and our Brother, What He’s done could be so by no other. He’s the Savior from our sin, By all of those who ask Him in. He’s our Shepherd and our Guide, If in our heart he does abide. He’s the Dayspring and Cleanser of sin, Wonderful Counselor has always been. As our Vine and Bridegroom Thee, It remains a mystery what we shall be. As God’s Beloved and Chosen One, The Anointed and only Son. As our Rock and purist Lamb, By His blood we’ll not be damned. Lord of Heaven, Son of God, Satan defeated by His rod. He’s the Savior of the world, From our life is Satan hurled. The Emmanuel and Holy One, Salvation only by the Son. We the branch and He the Vine, To love each other “is the sign.” Messiah the Prince and King of the Jews, Be it life and God, or the world we choose? The Bread of Life and our Governor be, His love and mercy all eternity to see. Lord of lords and God of gods, Let’s bow our heads in humble nods. By Rick InGodITrust |

CDBJ, Oh dear brother, I indeed sensed that you too faced a great loss. As you and I both now know, no words on earth can express the grief and sorrow that one experiences with the loss of their mate. And, especially I do believe, the loss of a godly and devoted spouse that you shared God's love and wisdom with. My dear friend, I ask you, "how do we go on without them?" I know God will and does provide and yet the very thought is unthinkable and unimaginable. Much, in a sense I would say, how the disiples must have felt when they put Jesus in the tomb. Thank you so much, you have truly blessed my heart and I sincerely hope you and I will continue a deepening friendship, InGodITrust |
