21 | what does the word pentecostal mean | Acts 2:4 | eklektos | 154703 | ||
Hello Shema, Denominationalism is nothing more than carnal vanity. Paul, being called personally and intimately by Jesus Himself, was disgusted with this carnality (labeling). We read: 1Co 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? 1Co 3:4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? 1Co 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 1Co 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 1Co 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. There is a label referred to twice in the Scriptures - "Christian" - according to the King James Version: Act 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. 1Pe 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. Jesus said: Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. What are these fruits that Jesus is talking about? Man's vanity of their denomination? - No! but to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ! Is one to teach you why this is right and that is wrong, why you should follow Calvinism or Pentecostalism or any other ism that is out in the world? Is this the will of the Father? What is the will of the Father? 2Pe 3:9 "... not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. " And how are they going to come to repentance unless they hear the Word of God? Now, no doubt there any many that are chomping on the bit to rebut about how we need labels to define what they believe. Well, that's fine, but how many have they brought into the Kingdom with their preaching of labels? How many have edified the Church with their ism's? "Go ye into the world and preach the Gospel!" You are right, Shema, denominations are not of God, they are of man and his vanities. When I found my wife that I loved I told everybody I met how she was the light of my life. Have I done this with Christ? When I found a great friend I told everybody how great of a friend he is. Have I done this with Christ? Will I stand on the rooftops and proclaim the name of Jesus? No?, why, because I would look foolish and people would think I was crazy. That is the mind set today, what others might think of us - vanity. "By their fruit ye will know them"! They can be nicer than nice and full of pleasantries and even very articulate in choosing just the right words, and all full of knowledge, but if they don't produce fruit, fruit for the Kingdom, it is all vanity! Even in the beginning, as in the natural so is it in the spiritual, "Be fruitful and multiply". The first and last command. Denominations do separate the Church. And they are not the will of God! Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Blessed are you Shema for seeing the Mind of God. by Grace, eklektos |

22 | Which sacrifices have ended? | Acts 2:46 | eklektos | 174689 | ||
Dear Luke, I do not come to you with a sharp tongue but with a spirit of gentleness that you may have a better understanding to some of your statements. It was the purpose for God to let His Son go to the cross and to have the Jews do what they did. Jesus Himself says, "Father forgive them for they know not what the do." And they didn't, for we read in Romans 11:25 that God blinded the Jews to the truth. The cross was and is for all persons, Jew and Gentile. The root of the tree is Christ and the branches are His people, the Jews, and a wild branch, the Gentiles, has been grafted in so that we may partake of that root, that is Christ. We are admonished not to think of ourselves to highly lest we be severed from the tree as the natural branches were. The Scripture has to do with nations of people but it is also applicable to an individual for we are all accountable for our deeds also. (Rom 11:17-25 CEV) "You Gentiles are like branches of a wild olive tree that were made to be part of a cultivated olive tree. You have taken the place of some branches that were cut away from it. And because of this, you enjoy the blessings that come from being part of that cultivated tree. (18) But don't think you are better than the branches that were cut away. Just remember that you are not supporting the roots of that tree. Its roots are supporting you. (19) Maybe you think those branches were cut away, so that you could be put in their place. (20) That's true enough. But they were cut away because they did not have faith, and you are where you are because you do have faith. So don't be proud, but be afraid. (21) If God cut away those natural branches, couldn't he do the same to you? (22) Now you see both how kind and how hard God can be. He was hard on those who fell, but he was kind to you. And he will keep on being kind to you, if you keep on trusting in his kindness. Otherwise, you will be cut away too. (23) If those other branches will start having faith, they will be made a part of that tree again. God has the power to put them back. (24) After all, it wasn't natural for branches to be cut from a wild olive tree and to be made part of a cultivated olive tree. So it is much more likely that God will join the natural branches back to the cultivated olive tree. (25) My friends, I don't want you Gentiles to be too proud of yourselves. So I will explain the mystery of what has happened to the people of Israel. Some of them have become stubborn, and they will stay like that until the complete number of you Gentiles has come in." So brother, I have said that to say this, "If you speak against those that, 'rejected and demanded the crucificion (sp) of there own King', you are speaking against the plan of salvation itself. For Christ said, "I lay down my life". Brother, it would be best not to speak against the Divine plan of Grace that God Himself ordained. It is for this reason that He came into this world. We are to be at peace with our Jewish brethren that we may be held blameless. Salvation is a Gift for All that will accept it. With this Gift comes freedom from being in bondage under the Old Laws. We are to be a ”living sacrifice” unto our Lord. eklektos |

24 | dear friend | 1 Cor 14:29 | eklektos | 173625 | ||
Greetings Hank, You reference Heb 1:1,2 as tied to the dialog about prophets. The context of what Paul is saying in these verses is the explaining of a Higher authority, compared to the prophets of old, that has now come from God and has spoken to us. And the answer to the context of Hebrews 1 is explained in Hebrews 2:1, "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard...". For now, it is not man, moved by the Spirit, speaking the things of God but Jesus Himself, God's only begotten, that has spoken the things of God. Hebrews 1 is talking about authority not prophets per say. Also my brother, you state: "Can you, in fact, produce incontrovertible scriptural evidence that prophets exist in the this age?". I would ask, since Scripture says that they do where is the Scriptural evidence when they stopped. I know this has been around the barn a few times but mainly I was concerned with the Hebrews reference. by Grace eklektos |

25 | dear friend | 1 Cor 14:29 | eklektos | 173627 | ||
Hi Hank, The gist of your dialog with Mark has been whether or not prophets are a function of the church today and what Scriptural evidence is there if any. You stated to Mark, "I happen to be a sola scriptura guy, and as such view the likelihood of meeting a prophet this side of heaven with an enormous amount of skepticism based on my study and understanding of Scripture; as, for example, Hebrews 1:1,2." I took your reference to Hebrews to mean that there are no prophets in present day. Although, I also would be skeptical and would have to hear what the prophet was saying. I am also aware that just because the lightening does not strike in my back yard does not mean there are no storms in the rest of the world. For I find nowhere in the Scriptures that the Holy Spirit has stopped using any of the gifts given to man. by Grace eklektos |

26 | The letter of the law. | Gal 3:21 | eklektos | 174113 | ||
Hi Searcher, In John Chapter 5, we find an impotent man by the pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem (v2 and 5). Jesus heals the man and tells him to walk (v8,9). The Jews see the healed man carrying his bed and they finally find out that it was Jesus that told the man to rise, walk, and carry his bed. In addition, all this is happening on the Sabbath. The Jews confront Jesus but Jesus tells them, "My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working." (v17). Jesus tells the Jews of the Greatness of God and how He, the Son of God must do the work of the Father and that in Him was life; "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life."(v24). Now we get to the significant part: (verses 36-40) Joh 5:36 "But the testimony which I have is greater than the testimony of John; for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish--the very works that I do--testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me. Joh 5:37 "And the Father who sent Me, He has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form. Joh 5:38 "You do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He sent. [[Joh 5:39 "You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;]] Joh 5:40 and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life. The Jews were very passionate in reading and searching the Scriptures (v39 bracketed above) but with all their knowledge and with all their writings they still didn't know who Jesus was even though the Scriptures declare Him thoroughly and through the Scriptures God has testified of Him.(v37). The point here is that without discernment by the Holy Spirit a person can read and study until they are 'blue in the face' and never really come to know Christ. The letter of the law kills - the written words on a paper or in a book have no life to them unless the Spirit opens ones understanding. Jesus also demands this same principal from Nicodemus, "Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things?" John 3:10. And in another place we read: 1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: [neither can he know them,] because they are spiritually discerned. (brackets are mine) 1Co 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. Again the letter is dead without the Spirit. eklektos |

Hello Wild Olive Shoot, Hermeticism is that which treats some universal principles. Hermeticism does not always indicate sorcery. Only in today's culture is this term held to its worst degree. Biblically, we could look at: Rev 4:1. John was on the island and the voice said "Come up hear" and immediately he was in the spirit. 2 Cor 12:2 "...whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth...", Paul mentions some wonderful revelations which he had received from the Lord, 12:4, "heard unspeakable words". Being in an ecstatic state wouldn’t you say?. by Grace, eklektos |

Hello BradK, Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary of American English Hermetic HERMET'IC HERMET'ICAL, a. [Gr. Mercury, the fabled inventor of chimistry.] 1. Designating chimistry; chimical; as the hermetic art. 2. Designating that species of philosophy which pretends to solve and explain all the phenomena of nature from the three chimical principles, salt, sulphur and mercury; as the hermetic philosophy. 3. Designating the system which explains the causes of diseases and the operations of medicine, on the principles of the hermetical philosophy, and particularly on the system of an alkali and acid; as hermetical physic or medicine. 4. Perfectly close, so that no air, gas, or spirit can escape; as a hermetic seal. The hermetic seal is formed by heating the neck of a vessel till it is soft,and then twisting it, till the aperture or passage is accurately closed. Hermetic books, books of the Egyptians which treat of astrology. Books which treat of universal principles, of the nature and orders of celestial beings, of medicine and other topics. -- end of my dictionary -- Observe, your information says the teachings are attributed to Hermes and my dictionary it is Mercury, the fabled inventor of chemistry and yours does not mention universal principles. This is why when anyone talks about Scripture and they are using theological wording we need to find out exactly what they mean by the same word. For some relate hermeticism to the occult and to magic and others relate it to the natural order and universal principles. The Biblical connection I was making was to a previous note (ID 153981) that referenced Reitzenstein, “Poimandres” which has to do with some magic. But the context of that specific paragraph was describing the 'state' one can get in when in the Spirit. That it is similar to being 'in the Spirit' as the Scriptures I cited to 'Wild Olive Root', (Rev 4:1 and 2 Co 12:2, 4) corresponded to that type or similarity of state. Does this clear things up for you? by Grace, eklektos |

Hello Wild Olive Seed, As was told BradK, these were used as a comparison or a similitude. I do hope that you can see this but if you are having a hard time understanding, possibly if you re-read all the posts you might see that the main ingredient is the working of the Holy Spirit and that Philo and Celsus has nothing to do with it. They are only put there for information and study. by Grace, eklektos |
||||||
33 | tongues | Eph 4:14 | eklektos | 154124 | ||
Hello Wild Olive Shoot, Pardon my tardy response but other matters required attention. You wrote: “…you used the writings of Reitzenstein, Philos and Celsus to support and uphold your view of what one will endure while under the influence of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues, am I mistaken on that point? My friend, even if what they claim is truth, the source of it is still evil, as their claims and teachings and lives were and are contrary to the Word of God.” Let us take this line by line: (1) As to Philo’s quote: “The best (ecstasy) of all is a divinely-infused rapture and 'mania,' to which the race of the prophets is subject.... The wise man is a sounding instrument of God's voice, being struck and played upon invisibly by Him.... As long as our mind still shines (is active)...we are not possessed (by God)...but ... when the divine light shines, the human light sets.... The prophet ... is passive, and another (God) makes use of his vocal organs.” This Philo observes of one that is filled with the Spirit of God and prophesies. (2) As to quoting Celsus’ : (the entire quote is offered here). Being a non-believer, this is what he observed of the early Christians. “There are many who, although of no name, with the greatest facility and on the slightest occasion, whether within or without temples, assume the motions and gestures of inspired persons; while others do it in cities or among armies, for the purpose of attracting attention and exciting surprise. These are accustomed to say, each for himself, 'I am God; I am the Son of God; or, I am the Divine Spirit; I have come because the world is perishing, and you, O men, are perishing for your iniquities. But I wish to save you, and you shall see me returning again with heavenly power. Blessed is he who now does me homage. On all the rest I will send down eternal fire, both on cities and on countries. And those who know not the punishments which await. them shall repent and grieve in vain; while those who are faithful to me I will preserve eternally.'" Then he goes on to say: "To these promises are added strange, fanatical, and quite unintelligible words, of which no rational person can find the meaning: for so dark are they, as to have no meaning at all; but they give occasion to every fool or impostor to apply them to suit his own purposes.” Though he did not understand the happenings, his observations are that of Christians filled with the Holy Ghost preaching and speaking in tongues. Even though he was not of the church, what he observes is supporting Biblical accuracies of the Corinthian epistle. (3) “of what one will endure while under the influence of the Holy Spirit” I never stated "will endure"; I stated "similar to". (4) My desire was not to judge good and evil but to compare historically what was observed in those days of the early church. Many historians have been most valuable in their views to those times. I do not praise these men nor do I condemn them but my eyes can’t see what they saw, thus by reading about times of the past, to me, is most helpful in understanding. If what they say conflicts with Scripture, the Holy Spirit witnesses the falsehood. If what they say supports the Scriptures, all to the better. These men are dead and in the hands of God but their experiences are still valuable, historically. Just as we read about some of the good-guys and bad-guys in the Old Testament; they are all written in history for us to learn. There is something to learn in everybody. If we are grounded and our roots have taken deep hold upon the Truth, the readings of historical documents, either of a believer or an unbeliever (insert the history textbooks of our schools here), in no way tarnishes the Word of God to us. In another post you say (pertaining to Celsus): “… thought Jesus was no more than a bastard … who acquired certain magical powers…”, even the Pharisees in the Bible voiced this, John 8:19, John 8:48. So, lastly, if one would read again my first post, it was offered for the reader to “compare” what was said by these people for a historical view as to a "state" of one being in the Spirit. by Grace, eklektos |

Hello Hunting, It truly is refreshing to hear that the Spirit is working freely in others. For we are told not to quench the Spirit (1 Th 5:19). Yes, God is willing to bless us with these gifts and we should be willing to use them. In 1 Co 13, the raw, basic, total concept and context is Paul talking about how that love is eternal. Love, prophesies, tongues and knowledge are compared to this world and the next world. In this world we have all these things but when the "perfect comes" (1 Co 13:10) we will no longer need these gifts of the Spirit for we will see and know all things clearly but love will still exist. There is not a drop of instruction that prophecies, tongues or knowledge are to cease in this world. 1 Co 3:9 "For we know in part", true. We are still bound to earth. For if we knew all knowledge this forum would be useless and debates and discussions would not be necessary. When the "perfect comes", all this will pass away but not love. 1 Co 3:9 "and we prophesy in part", true. Because we know in part. When the "perfect comes", all this will pass away but not love. 1Co 13:12 "For now we see through a glass, darkly", because we are bound to earth, but then (when the perfect comes) face to face (truly being in the presence of the Lord), the limits of this earthly boundary will disappear, but not love. "now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known", again the "but then" references to the heavenly future. All these things will pass away but not love. Hunting is a good name also; keep hunting in the Word of God. You linked your response to me and I am responding.

37 | can we love unconditionally ? | Eph 5:25 | eklektos | 173815 | ||
Tim, The answer from brother BradK is well given. In reading your question and the response from your pastor i.e. "we must continue to serve our spouse when we get home." A perplexing thought came to mind, and that is by your pastor using these words does he believe that you are married? I only ask this because in a following sentence you use the word fiancé. Are you living with your fiancé? Dear Tim, with all due respect, the comparing of you to Christ by your fiancé is in itself not loving. If she is looking for a human man that has no shortcomings, I do believe she is in for a disappointment. Moreover, your pastor is right about servant hood, but it goes both ways, it is also incumbent upon the wife or fiancé. Altogether Tim, this is not a counseling forum and we can only see one side of a story, no offense, so, we press on toward the mark of what we may become. (Jam 3:17)KJV But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. by Grace eklektos |

Dearest Tim, Thank you for the kind words. Sounds like you are getting a hold on things and I would say to you to keep seeking the Lord with all your heart. The shepard that God has put in charge of your congregation is there to feed His sheep. Keep up with your Bible studies and believe with all your heart that God WILL solve your concerns and enlighten you and your fiancé with the kind of love for each other that will become one flesh. Bless the Lord! (Pro 27:17) Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. (Pro 18:22) Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. eklektos |

39 | Did Cain marry one of his sisters? | Eph 5:25 | eklektos | 174763 | ||
Greetings Magellan, Consider the following per you post 174645? Please observe that some of the following is not explicitly written in the Word of God. I am not adding to the Word of God but trying to expound on some given facts that are written. In the Scriptures the lineage of the genealogies that are mostly enhanced upon are those that point to Christ, and or, are instructional by example. Sometimes starting with the firstborn but mostly the more significant member of the lineage and the lesser prominent roles in God’s design of history are listed as other sons and daughters. For instance, Mat. 1:2, Jacob is mentioned but not Esau. Jacob being the significant in the lineage. Therefore, the least significant may not have even been recorded. When these lesser prominent ones were born is not always told either. This is most evident in the genealogies of Chronicles were some names are listed but not all have much of their history expounded upon. Moreover, sometimes the order of listings is yet different again. In 1 Chr 2:1 we see the tribe of Judah, the lineage of Christ, is listed forth in order. In (Gen 5:3) “And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:”. So, Adam was 130 years old when he had Seth. This could give way for many less prominent persons to be born within that period of time. Hypothetically, if Adam and Eve started having children at the age of 18 and if each male offspring mated with a sister and those in turn, had at least 4 children, and they in turn had children at 18 years old, the population would expand to be around 254 when Adam turned 126 years old. Therefore, Cain’s remark about being slain in Gen 4:14 has merit. If we calculate this formula until Adam was at the age of 576 and all the offspring had 4 children the population would be around 8 billion. That is just mathematically if all things remained constant. These are more likely possibilities that can be used as to Cain’s wife and his worries about ‘whoever finds him will kill him’. In Gen.4:4 it tells us that Abel took the firstlings (plural) of his flock. Now, two sheep with an offspring is not considered a flock. These offerings to the Lord most likely were at each season of the offspring and harvest. There had to be sufficient time for the use of the word “flock”. Therefore it could have been many seasons before this particular event took place for the Scripture says in Gen 4:3 “And in the process of time it came to pass”. This use of this phrase does not have a time period related to it. Some say it was a week some say it was a year but you can’t raise a flock in a week or a year, so the time span must have been many seasons or years. Therefore using this as a long period of time and the idea that Cain and Abel have offered sacrifices to the Lord each season, the event of the offering in Gen 4:3 has no basis that this is the first time they ever offered their sacrifices. Now concerning Adam’s other sons and daughters, in Gen chapter 5, it is listed as “The book of the generations of Adam. One will notice that Cain and Abel are not listed in the genealogies. This is also true in 1 Chr 1:1. The ‘lineage’ starts with Seth. Cain was outcast by God, and Able was dead, therefore the lineage that was of a concern toward Christ, was Seth and not being listed, Cain and Able, doesn’t mean they didn’t exist. This could also be true about the “other sons and daughters” during the times that Cain and Able were still living family members. In Gen 4:17 “And Cain knew his wife...”, ( Keil and Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament) comments: “ The text assumes it as self-evident that she accompanied him in his exile; also, that she was a daughter of Adam, and consequently a sister of Cain.” Notice in Gen 4:1 when Cain was born, Eve states, “I have gotten a man from the Lord” … a man, not a seed. When Seth was born Eve states in Gen 4:25 “God hath appointed me another seed instead of Able...”. Able was the “seed” but was killed. Seth became the “another seed”, used here to indicate a significant character in the lineage, which leads us to Christ (Luke 3:38). Division of families: Does not always include the listing of family members. Consider the separation of Abraham and Lot. (Gen 13:10) And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. (Gen 13:11) Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. This important family separation does not list Lot’s wife either or even if he had one at the time of separation or married and sired while in Sodom. Yet we know of their flight from Sodom being four of them. Thanks for your attention, eklektos |

Dearest Kalos and Doctrinograce, With all due respect, the next question to John MacArthur would be, "Tell me exactly how God works!" How does he know what one experiences in the privacy of ones closet? Ask David what he learned by his estatic times with God. May it be that Mr. MacAuthor has very had a personal experience with the Lord? I am not his judge, but NO one can say how God works. This is very well evident thoughout the dialogs in Job. "Who has been His counselor?" Hold me, I love you, eklektos |
