21 | Jewish law during the millenium | Bible general Archive 4 | keliy | 221344 | ||
Well, I think I am aware of what I am saying. The problem I believe is the nature of this electronic format, which eliminates body language which projects the mood of what we are saying. I actually believe that God is in heaven smiling as we toil over His Word, trying to get it straightened out in our feeble minds. This should not be a divisive issue and we should not reject anyone for how they interpret these things. The basic point is that we are saved by His Blood. We will find out one day that the answer is not one or the other, but somewhere in the middle, or maybe even outside the box. However I do believe that we should study, and be diligent in our studies. We should scrutinize what we are taught, as the Bereans did. So shall we use discernment with our teachers. I am not trying to say anyone is right or wrong, but I will say if someone is saying something that is contrary to what I believe the Bible is saying. And it is alright for us to imply that someone is staining gnats because that is how we learn. We are here to learn. This is how we grow. In Him, keliy |

Very interesting, Beja So the way I have believed is that we are in spiritual warfare (Eph 6:12) and the three enemies that attempt to dissuade us are: our flesh, the world, and satan. My belief is that we are nearing the end of the church age, and satan is ramping up his forces in this world because he knows that he does not have much time left. The way I understand you, is that satan is presently bound (in the abyss), so that presently, we have two enemies that war against our soul, which are: our flesh and the world. Am I reading you correctly? In Him, keliy |

Hi Beja, so I thought, too, that Rev 20 laid it out pretty well. May we look at vss 1-3: "Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and satan, and bound him for 1000 years; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time." If as you say, that we are presently in the millennial reign of Christ, then is that different or the same as the 1000 years mentioned in the first 3 verses of chapter 20? shalom, keliy |

25 | How do I tell if she is Christian? | John 1:17 | keliy | 221320 | ||
What I see in the parable is that when the servant with one talent buried it, he was saying, "I don't care about your money, I never wanted to be bothered with it. That is why I buried it to keep it safe. I did not care enough about you, my master, to care whether your money increased or not. The connection I see, is I am trying to find out whether she is concerned about God's Word, or just going through the motions. shalom, keliy |

Azure, Shalom. I just read your profile once again and I think you understand what I am going through, since you are still praying for your husband's salvation. I will join you in prayer for if two agree in prayer, (Matt 18:19-20) Shalom aleichem |

You both answered very beneficially ((o: I am going to take her through the parable of the talents when she is done with work tonight, and see how she reacts, without making any rash decisions. |

Thanks again doc, will look next at those charts. But, just because the dispesational theology is relatively young, that is no reason to discount it, is it? The geographic reference should not limit its validity either, should it? Is not America blessed by God? I understand that to be fascinated by prophetical issues could be unhealthy, but -is it unhealthy to study the Book of Revelation, since it is the Only Book to come with its own divine blessing? Did not God disclose these things through John to be revealed to His servants for them to be used by Christ in extending and advancing His cause among men? I understand the matter is not a simple one, which is why I continue to study. Thanks for your help. keliy |

Good verses, Doc Thanks for the support! I recognize Beja as a spiritual man, and a faithful supporter of the SBF. But how can anyone miss the things that are told in Revelation, such as what happens before the 1000 yrs? First what must happen is there needs be an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the abyss and having a great chain. Then satan is bound for 1000 yrs. and those who had part in the first resurrection will be reigning with Christ for 1000 yrs. This is my reasoning for believing the 1000 yrs have not begun yet. Is it possible to be misled in the chronology? |

Hi meta, I don't want to come across as gruff, but when you said: "Christ and His Church sounds good to me" -in reference to the new temple, I believe: That is a misleading statement that will lead to misleading doctrines. Because, if we are THE temple, then what seat does the antichrist sit in and claim to be God? I know that Scripture teaches that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, but is that not saying that there are many temples besides the one spoken of? Don't get me wrong, I understand, and sympathize w/you. You said you have more questions than answers. And that is good. We all do that. Or, at least we should, because it has been said that the only barrier to the truth is to think we already know it. To challenge the word millenium because of the fact that it does not appear in Scripture is a weak argument. Sorry, but the word trinity does not appear there either, do you believe in the Trinity? -nor does Missionary, Rapture and Bema Seat. Yet they exist. Apostle Paul instructs us to: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2Tim 2:15) It is my belief that this is where amillenialists fall short. By not studying and learning the correct meaning of passages, we can come up with as many interpretations as we have Bibles. Do you understand, meta? I also posted to beja, for clarification on his term, so please, remain in touch. I would like to continue this discussion, because we are all here to learn, and you pose some interesting avenues (o: keliy |

Hi Beja, I was wondering if you could answer a question for me on this post. Are you saying that the church age and the 1,000 years exist in the same time frame? blessings, keliy |

Hi Meta and Watchman, could you be thinking of Daniel 9:27? -not exactly the millenium, however it does suggest sacrifice has been resumed in the Temple. As to Daniel Zewditu, maybe the Jews law in question is referring to the "Mosaic Law" ? |

Sorry for the delay in responding, breaddown, I have been checking, but there was no notification of any reply to this post. However I was getting other notifications. Now I notice that the thread has been restricted from appearing on the homepage. I have no idea why they do that. Maybe you can email me to timaeus@ChristFocus.com for any response you might have. Yes you are correct, RCA is reformed Church of America. Interesting thought, but I do not know why the word "reformed" is in the title either. It is claimed to be one of the oldest churches in USA so that may be a clue. They have a strong Dutch influence, and the history is among the pilgrims and such. But I mostly go there to please my dad, because actually there still is a little influence of the Catholic Church in the service, such as they practice infant baptism. Oh well, no church is perfect, so I decided not to let it be a devisive issue. After going to Calvary Chapel I began going back to RCA w/ my dad after they got a new pastor, I wanted to see the 'new guy'. That is all I can do for now, I don't know if you will even get this. I guess I'll watch my email for you. charis, keliy / timaeus |

Hi watchman. I received the reply that I presume was meant for BradK, but it was under a note authored by Brad Meyers. I make the same mistake from time to time, when I don't pay attention to the line in the thread "branch" that is highlighted in yellow. It is that author that will be notified of your reply I am thankful that we (mostly) are all Christians here, and therefore (mostly) understanding, and forgiving, as we exercise the fruit of the Spirit. (o: remember, the fruit does not fall far from the tree. Grace and Peace, keliy |

God used Ester to prevent the extermination of the Jews, and her help averted what would have been the first holocaust "Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people." (EST 4:8) |

37 | Was Jesus crucified naked? | Matt 27:35 | keliy | 221100 | ||
Hello Watchman, thank you for your response. Your thought patterns are quite interesting, but may be a bit misleading. "there was no cover up for sin." ?? Absolutely, in Both Covenants: How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered! (Psa 32:1) Actually, this has nothing to do with how Jesus died. As I said before, it is why He died that is important. So, going along with your argument that we are clothed to cover up a sinful nature, since the second Adam, Jesus , had never sinned, why did He not spend His entire life sans clothing? And where do we read in Genesis that Adam was born naked? May I encourage you to dwell upon these words from C. H. Spurgeon: First, it is the glory of God to cover sin. Secondly, this is a great encouragement to penitent sinners; and thirdly, it ought to be a great stimulus to saints. It is the glory of God to cover sin: This is the expression which is commonly used in Scripture to describe the putting away of sin and forgiving it. God covers the very thing which the magistrate searches out—the guilt, the breach of His law, the aggravations, the multiplied repetitions of sin, the base motives, the many excuses and deceits with which sin is sought to be extenuated—all this God covers. Hear this and be astonished, O ye sinners: God can cover all your sins no matter how black they are, or how many, or how deep their dye, he can cover them all! From: sermon (No. 2838) at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington, on Lord’s Day evening, July 15th, 1877. |

38 | IS BAPTISM NECESSARY | NT general | keliy | 221095 | ||
Being 'born of water' refers to natural childbirth, in Jn 3:4, and baptism is not there, but mentioned earlier, in chapter 1. Being born of water, is meaning when the mother's 'water breaks' before birth. We can see in the surrounding text that this was not understood as baptism. Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born, can he?" Another view is that water is in reference to the water baptism of repentance taught by John the Baptist. Contextually, the Gospel of John mentions John the Baptist in 1:6-8 and vss. 19-36. So, John's ministry has already been in view here. If the case was for baptism in Jn 3:5, then Jesus would have been speaking of the "baptism of repentance" preached by John the Baptist. Some additional proof should be offered, to those who might say that they are not convinced that John 3:5 does not teach the necessity of baptism. The proof is found in God's word. In Him who there is no shadow of turning. The following passages may be used to prove that baptism in not necessary for salvation. Rom 3:22, 26, 28; 4:5; 5:1 Gal 3:8, 24 Eph 2:8 Personally, I feel that salvation through baptism is salvation through our own works and denies the sufficiency of Christ's blood to save us from our sins. If we could be saved through baptism, then why, oh why, would Jesus have to have been crucified for us?? |
