21 | why would God not want u with a believer | Bible general Archive 3 | srbaegon | 158082 | ||
Hello fwiaskycap, My apology for misunderstanding your intent. We have seen many postings in the past that were treating this forum like "Dear Abby." I will answer your question with these: Matthew 19:12 (ESV) For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it." 1 Cor. 7:25-28 (ESV) Now concerning the betrothed, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy. [26] I think that in view of the present distress it is good for a person to remain as he is. [27] Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife. [28] But if you do marry, you have not sinned, and if a betrothed woman marries, she has not sinned. Yet those who marry will have worldly troubles, and I would spare you that. 1 Cor. 7:32-35 (ESV) I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. [33] But the married man is anxious about worldly things, how to please his wife, [34] and his interests are divided. And the unmarried or be trothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about worldly things, how to please her husband. [35] I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord. So, yes, there would be reasons for not marrying a believer, but there are no commands to that effect. Steve |

Hi Tim, Thanks for this. ESV includes the verse in brackets, because they aren't sure whether or not to insert it. In context it likes like a title for the section that follows. Steve |

26 | Elders not a pastor should lead church | Bible general Archive 3 | srbaegon | 176480 | ||
Hello Bereaniam, I would not say that pastor is the same as elder/overseer. However, I am certain that elders/overseers are to be the spiritual leadership of the local church. As I see Eph 4, the pastor-teacher is an itinerant ministry. It's a gift to the whole church and not one local body. Steve |

27 | Mary's virginity remained intact | Bible general Archive 3 | srbaegon | 180587 | ||
Hello Parable, Under the Mosaic Law (applicable at the time that Mary became pregnant) adultery occurred when there was a sex act. There was none between God and Mary. You mentioned emotions, and that has some bearing since lusting after another woman was to be considered adultery. There was no lust of God for Mary. Conclusion: There was no adultery on any level. You speculate about impregnating a woman without intercourse. Since this was an impossibility, there is no point in mentioning it. And even if it was possible at the time, it is still not adultery since no intercourse nor the desire of it took place. You need to remember something of paramount importance here. God said that the two would become one flesh (Gen 2:24). That requires a physical act. It seals the emotional and spiritual bond between man and wife. Nothing like this happened between God and Mary.

28 | Mary's virginity remained intact | Bible general Archive 3 | srbaegon | 180594 | ||
Hello Parable, I'm sorry that I forgot about that reference. There certainly is spiritual adultery which Israel was guilty of. You are correct that there is an issue concerning the persons involved. In order to sin, one must be able to sin. God cannot because he is supremely holy (Is 6:1-3, et al). To say that God committed infidelity is to accuse him of the impossible. If God had committed an unlawful sexual act with Mary, he must be killed according to the Law. If God had the relationship with Mary that you are saying, then he is guilty of breaking his own eternal commandment, not once but twice: sexual impurity and defying the consequence. Steve |

Hello freedom... I agree that Jesus is the answer to life's questions, but we need to understand His word in order to know how those questions are answered. 2 Timothy 2:15 (ESV) Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

Hello freedom... Freedom comes from the truth of Scripture working in you. John 8:31-32 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." Steve |

32 | Stumpped by my son | Bible general Archive 3 | srbaegon | 191823 | ||
Hello Parable, I cannot agree that "love is not love if it ... is the only option available." With that logic, there was no love before creation, yet we know it is part of God's essence. Steve |
||||||
33 | Stumpped by my son | Bible general Archive 3 | srbaegon | 191833 | ||
Hello Parable, Again I must disagree, even in reference to us. Unbelievers know how to love and do love. This is part of the Imago Dei and being recipients of communicable attributes. The problem is that our love is not toward God until we are regenerated. Steve |

34 | Did He complete the Old Testament? | Bible general Archive 3 | srbaegon | 192327 | ||
Hello Cheri, I would turn here. Gal 2:14 (ESV) But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?" Paul's point is that Gentiles should never be asked to live under any part of the Mosaic Law as that was given to the Jews. Steve |

Hello Cheri, The theme of Galatians is: Why would Gentiles want to obey the Law? It's unnecessary, and you place a burden on yourself that not even the children of Israel could bear. The eternal aspect of these things is in Christ himself. He came to fulfill and is the fulfillment of the Law. Steve |

Hello Cheri, I understand what the scribes and Pharisees had done. My quote was from Acts 15:10. Believers from the party of the Pharisees were wanting Gentiles to be circumcised and keep the Law of Moses. Paul opposed the idea--not the oral traditions but the Law itself. As for Matt 23:1-5, Jesus was speaking to Jews, not Gentiles. I fully agree with what you say about the Torah. People think the God of the OT is angry and hostile. A thorough reading displays grace, mercy, steadfast love, and long-suffering beyond measure. Steve |

Hello cpowell, Rowdy was joking around. "Magic Carpet Ride" was a song done by the rock group Steppenwolf back in the early 70's. None of this conversation is in the Bible. Steve |

Hello victorA, I'll let Emmaus give his own answers but... 1) How would you define angel? The literal definition is a messenger. 2) How would you define archangel? The literal definition is a lead- or head- messenger. 3) Is Jesus the "only begotten god" of Jehovah as John 1:18 says? Yes. 4) Is Jesus the "only begotten son" of Jehovah? Yes. 5) How many heavenly sons does Jehovah God have? All believers and the unfallen angelic host. 6) Was Satan a son of God before he rebelled? Yes. Steve |
