21 | Isn't Prophecy a Spiritual Gift? | Isaiah | casiv | 24530 | ||
Dear Tim, In humbleness and my disbelief of what I keep seeing and hearing, I will again repeat Luke 16:16. Please note Jesus says "every man". every is defined as - being each individual or part of a group without exception. Luke 16:16 - The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and everyman presseth into it. When I am proven wrong, I admit it and move on. I was trying to think of a word for people that don't concede and was led to Jeremiah and I was saddened for how Jeremiah must have felt as he was reaching out for people to help themselves. Jer 7:26 - Yet they hearkened not unto Me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers. Jer 7:27 - Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee. Jer 7:28 -But thou shalt say unto them, "This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth." 1Cor 8:7 - Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. 1Cor 8:8 - But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 1Cor 8:9 - But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 1Cor 8:10 - For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols? 1Cor 8:11 - And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died. 1Cor 8:12 - But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 1Cor 8:13 - Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. Ecc 3:18 - I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. I am a beast in the flesh and can admit it in humility of Faith, Hope and Love within the sincerity of my heart. IN Humbleness and Hope I write these words, Peace, casiv |

Qouted from Dr. E.W. Bullinger, How to Enjoy the Bible." My intent is not to claim any mans work as my own, this is my error for not stating the reference and for this I apologize. I will stand alone accountable for my actions, and the Father knows there is not a bone or thought of malice nor deceit in me. With regrets, casiv |

Dear charis, In humblness sir it is your statement that is not in accord with Scripture. John 1:1 - IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1John 5:7 - For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one. Jesus is not a prophet He is God! Luke 16:16 - The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and everyman presseth into it. Luke 1:17 - And He shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias(Elijah), to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. Matt 17:12 - But I say unto you, That Elias(Elijah) is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them" Matt 17:13 - Then the disciples understood that He spake unto them of John the Baptist. John the Baptist appeared to have been the last prophet, by the Word of Jesus, but he was Elijah, by the Word of Jesus and they killed him therefore since John was Elijah that makes Malachai the last prophet. Anything beyond this is a direct denial of the Word of Jesus, Who is God. Please see that the words you are denying are not mine. Peace, casiv |

24 | What does "3" stand for in the Bible? | Isaiah | casiv | 24307 | ||
Speculation..............................In all humbleness you're speculation is lacking proof and you cannot prove one number wrong that Bullinger has proven. Bullinger didn't invent numbers in the Bible, the Father did. You challenged me in Biblical mathematics with Idol Worship, Jacob, and Gideon, I prepared a very good example of Biblical mathematics, met your challenges and you disappear? Now you speculate against a man who has contributed to the understanding of our Fathers letter beyond many who exist today because who knows why but you. Jesus says in Love we are to admonish each other not put each other down. If someone is wrong please prove it with scripture the way that you have been proven back with scripture not speculation and insult. What are your thoughts regarding both Hebrew and Greek having numerical values for each letter of their given alphabets? The whole Bible is one big matrix of numbers. What is your thought on that? May the Father show you the way through Jesus. In Peace and Faith in Jesus and the Father, casiv |

continued..................It is a great mistake to suppose that Eph. 2:20 refers to the Old Testament Prophets; and that the Church is built upon them! There is abundant evidence as to the New Testament order of Prophets; and that they were charged with quite a different mission, though they were God's spokesmen: Barnabas (Acts 4:36), Stephen(Acts 6:10,15), Agabus(Acts 11:28,21:10), Silvannus, Silas, and Judas(Acts 15:32), Manaen and Lucius of Cyrene(Acts 13:1), timothy(1Tim 6:11; 2Tim 3:17), the daughters of Philip(Acts 21:9), and others, unnamed(Acts 8:17; 10:44-46; 19:6). The Exhortations addressed to and connected with the prophets are also special. "Despise not prophesyings" shows that the word "spirit" int he preceding clause refers to the spiritual gift of prophesying(1Thes 5:20); and "Quench not the spirit" means, Do not stifle or suppress such spiritual gifts in others. Examples of this prophetic power in action and teaching, etc., are seen in Acts 5:4; 13:2; 21:1-14; 1 Cor 14:24,25; 1Tim 1:18; 4:1. Thus the first occurrence of the word "prophet" leads us into all this line of teaching, and shows us that the Preposition (pro,Grk), before, is not used with regard to time, but to manner; not to speaking beforehand, or telling-before, but telling forth. Moreover, we may note there was no place for the ministry of prophets till the priests had failed in their mission, which was to teach the Word of God. When the priests became absorbed in their ritual, then God raised up prophets as His spokesmen. Kindly agree that Malachai is the last prophet. Peace in Faith and Hope, casiv |

Dear Tim, I believe first occurrences are generally essential to the interpretation of words, expressions, and utterances and have never yet found it to fail. The first occurrence of the word Prophet is in Gen 20:7, and is used by God to Abimelech king of Gerar, of Abraham - "Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet and he shall pray for thee." This first occurrence of the word shows that it is used in a very different sense from that in which we use it today. Of course, even apart from this, our present usage is of no account in determining the Biblical usage. We use it of one whose sole mission is to foretell future events. But, here, it is used in connection with Abraham, who foretold nothing; and of whose prophecies, as such, we have neither mention, allusion, or record. The only thing associated with the prophets, in Abraham, here, is prayer! This first occurrence, therefore, speaks to us if we have ears to hear; and, being so contrary to our current usage, tells us to search further and see what it teaches us in connection with its other occurrences. We soon learn from Ex. 7:1 that the same God calls Aaron, Mose's "prophet." This takes us a step further; and leads to another question: How could one man be another man's "prophet"? The answer is found in Ex.4:16, where God, referring to the same matter, says of Aaron, to Moses,"He shall be thy spokesman." Here,then, we learn that the essential interpretation of the word "prophet" is spokesman. so that the prophet was one who spoke FOR God, whether by way of Exhortation, Instruction, Reproof, Warning, Correction, Reprobation, or Judgement. Foretelling was only a very small part of his duties. There was "no prophet greater than John the Baptist"(Matt11:9-11). He prophesied that Christ that Christ should baptize with pneuma hagion, but where are his prophecies, as we understand the word today? Not one is recorded. But he was God's spokesman, prepared, equipped, and sent forth by God to prepare the way of the Messiah(Luke 1:13-17,75-79). The prophet, therefore, was essentially God's spokesman; and his sole mission was to speak only those words which were given him to speak. In this sense Moses was the great prophet typical of the Lord Jesus. Seven times in the closing words of Exodus we find the refrain associating Moses's words and deeds with his obedience,"as the Lord commanded Moses" (Ex.11:19,21,23,25,27,29,32). Even so the Lord Jesus was "the prophet like unto Moses." Why? Not because of His foretelling future events, but because "He whom God sent speaketh the words of God"(John3:34; compare John3:32; 7:16,26,28; 15:15,etc.). for the same reason "prophets" were bestowed upon the church at the beginning (Eph 4:11);"for(pros,Grk) the perfecting of the Saints with a view to (eis, Grk)the work of the ministry for (eis,Grk) the building up of the body of Christ." This was the special object of the New Testament prophetic ministry(compare Eph2:20, Rom. 16:26."prophetic writings," 2Pet 1:19."the prophetic' word"). The work of these prophets was specially connected with the making known the "Mystery" or the great secret, which had been "hid in God". continued.......................... |

Yes Ed you're right, The point of my comment is my belief that through the Spirit is life and through the flesh is death and death is not to be feared. Regarding Heb 2:14, Jesus did not die, if he did die then the Father would not be the Father of the Living. My opinion. Peace, Casiv |

Ed, Forgive me for bringing this into this conversation but I feel it is relevant. You have asked do we pay too much attention to physical death, more than spiritual? I believe yes, if you believe Job's children were killed. That I do not believe is sowing to the spirit and at the end of Job his children are restored to him. I believe Job is a lesson in Faith. Physical death is not to be feared, only spiritual death, Matt10:28, makes it very clear that we are to fear the one that can destroy both body(spiritual body 1Cor15) and the soul). Spiritual body, because that is the uncorruptible that the Fathers Children wear in the eternity. With all due respects I find nothing enviable about death, I thought death was satan and envy is one of his traits we mark as a signal of his trail, in my opinion. I do care what satan does, because I rebuke him in Love, as does the Father(Matt4) for the things he has done and continues to do. Satan is accountable to the Law and he will assume his responsibilty for that which he has done. Ed, I think we are to help each other in Love, and Love our Father and each other as He would, according to His will it shall be done. Peace, casiv |

Malachai is the last prophet. Dear Tim, Thanks for your patience! In the Spirit of Love and Faith and Hope, I will show why Malachai was the last prophet, within the King James Version of the Word and anyone after him who says they are a prophet, is not. Lets start with Malachai. Mal 4:5 - "Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: Mal 4:6 - And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." In Luke 1, an angel appears to Zacharias, John the Baptist's father, and tells him about his son to come. Luke 1:16 - And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. Luke 1:17 - And he shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias(Elijah), to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." Matt 11:13 - For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. Matt 11:14 - And if ye will receive it, this is Elias(Elijah), which was for to come. In other words, Luke 16:16 - The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and everyman presseth into it. As it is written the "the law and the prophets" were only until John and since that time the Word is only preached. The following verses leave no more question to who John the Baptist was, as Jesus tells His disciples. And I also believe this verse clears up the questions in regards to 1 Cor and the spiritual gift of prophesy to be understood as "preach" which in the right context in Greek is evangelizo meaning to announce a joyful message; having regard to the matter announced, not the manner, which is contained in the Greek word kerusso which means to proclaim(as a herald), from kerux, a herald, without reference to the matter proclaimed (which is contained in evangelizo); and without including the idea of teaching but in context of spreading the "Good News". Matt 17:10 - And His disciples asked Him, saying," Why then say the scribes that Elias(Elijah) must first come?" Matt 17:11 - And Jesus answered and said unto them,"Elias(Elijah) is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall the Son of man suffer of them." Matt 17:13 - Then the disciples understood that He spake unto them of John the Baptist. As it is written John the Baptist was indeed Elijah and they knew him not and since the law and the prophets were until John and John was Elijah, that would make Malachai the last prophet because Elijah was before Malachai by the Word of Iesous. IN the Love of the Father and His Son, casiv |

Hello, Peace to you in Spirit and in Love. I do agree with you regarding the Father being able to assume control over satan at any time he chooses as I believe is suggested in Job, but why does He allow things to happen? I believe one of our answers is in Romans 11:25. In Romans 11:25, I believe He states that what He does or allows is set to an appointed time. I believe everything our Father does is done at an appointed time. With a careful and heartfelt search and study of the letter from our Father I believe all Children of the Living Father can come to understand His will as stated in Matt 13:14,15. But I, in humbleness, totally disagree that it is the Father's will that satan can take a life. I believe satan is allowed to be a great deal more than man, can or ever will be able to comprehend in the flesh and satan is extremely under estimated. I am not a fan of satan, don't take me wrong. But, it is written in "2Pet 3:9 - The Lord is not slack concerning His promises, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." And He has counted the hairs on our head, Matt 10:30. I believe that 1John 4:19 states the greatest gift the Father ever gave to any of His Children,"...He first loved us." His True Love is no less than perfect and that is what I believe He wants from us, including friendship, "Isaiah 41:8 - But thou, Israel, art My Servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham My friend." And in the New Testament by Jesus in John 15. John 15:12 - This is My commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. John 15:13 - Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:14 - Ye are My friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. John 15:15 - Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of My Father I have made known unto you. I believe the Father wants True Love and Friendship from all His Children and without freewill to make that choice, it will not be true if not done, from the sincerity of the heart and this is where I believe satan has erred, He has forgotten what is Love and that he is only allowed until an appointed time and he also will be washed away amongst the clay. These are my thoughts, and I thank you for the opportunity to share them. IN the true Rock of Faith and Hope, casiv |

34 | What scripture talks about alcohol | Hab 2:5 | casiv | 24155 | ||
Hello Mr. Jones, Please see the Bible talks about alcohol other than wine in Luke 1:15. Luke 1:15 - For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. (KJV) Please note that "strong drink" in Greek is sikera, meaning any intoxicating drink not from grapes. FYI, Peace in Faith and Hope, Casiv |

Ex 20:16 - Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. You say you are in Christ? Did Christ slander people and ignore them? Have you ever read the book Susanna in the Apocrypha and seen what happens to those who bear false witness. I am deeply saddened by those who say they are in Christ yet forget the second great commandment. If you wish to ignore me that is fine, but stop slandering me and saying you are in Christ. I don't want anything to do with your self inflicted demise.Peace in Faith and Hope, Casiv |

Hello CDBJ, Hope all is well with you! I was trying to tell Nolan that we need to be as much like Jesus as we possibly can which I believe is Love. The word Iesous is number 2424 in the Greek part of the Strongs Concordance and is Greek for Jesus. I believe it is important to learn what others believe and I used to have the Jehovah Witness' come to my house for a Bible study. In their Bible, in John 1:1 it says "the Word was a god" and in the KJV I read it says "the Word was God." I believe that Jesus was here as the One and only God and they believe that He was one of many gods. But the way they have written it in their Bible "was a god" is the same as if the "a" was not there. Because by putting the "a" into the text "a" became a transitive verb. I believe from memory, that a transitive verb relates back to the original object and subject of a sentence and the object of John 1:1 is God and the subject is the Word(Jesus). So anyway you want to look at it their translation or the KJV said the same thing grammarically which they chose not to acknowledge. They say with their mouth Jesus was a god but their book says grammarically that Jesus is God and they denied it. So I gave them their "a", but I didn't want to, they insisted. Hopefully I have not confused the issue further, please let me know if I did and I will try again. Thanks for asking for clarification, I want to be clear and understandable.Thanks. Peace in Faith and Hope, Casiv |

Hello may the Father bless you, In humbleness, please name one question you asked that was not answered and one issue you brought up that was not answered? You have jumped into this thread in an aggressive non productive incinuating put down matter which I have given to the Father for you and Him to talk about. If you have something intelligent to share or discuss regarding the Word, lets talk, if you want to play third party indirect games of put downs and follow up the double edged sword coming out of your mouth with a game of guilt, then I will step a side a give it also to the Father for you two to work out. In Faith and Hope, may Jesus show the way to Love which is the true Father, Casiv |

Nolan, I am not trying to intimidate you. I do not want you to leave. I am not leaving and you are entitled to your opinions. If you want to debate intelligently using the Word, which is what I want here, then please do so. No one is making you respond to me, again it is your choice. I said what I wrote you was in Love and you said it was not, therefore you are calling me a liar.(Name calling). Like Daniel I plan on walking into the fire, because that is what the Bible has taught me, that the believers in Jesus are supposed to do. Stand up for the Living Father and His Son against anything that is not Love. This fight is not men against men, please understand this. And you are hurting yourself everytime you are mean to someone by breaking the second great commandment. Peace in Faith and Hope, Casiv |
