23 | how did satan survive the flood? | Gen 7:23 | terrib | 147769 | ||
Hi 29602004, First to recall is, angels, fallen or otherwise, are not omnipresent. You wrote: "that means satan cannot cross the boundries that god set from the thrid heaven which lets me know this is how he survived the flood.he is limited from earth to the thrid heaven" If he were bound to the third heaven, then how did he possess the serpent and appear to Eve? If he were bound to the third heaven, he could not have tempted Christ in the wilderness. And, when God asked him where he had been, he said, (Job 2:2) "...From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it." How did he touch Job? (Job 2:7) "So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown." So, upon leaving the "presence of the Lord", he came to earth and touched Job. The devil being here, on Earth: Joh 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. Joh 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. I don't see any indication that Satan is bound to the third heaven. It is agreed that he and his do fear the Lord, (Mat 8:29) "And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?". Interesting to note that the demons requested the swine, the dirty detestable creature, and, at the time, forbidden to eat. Kinda tells us the nature of these creatures, doesn't it? (rhetorical). So, to answer your question directly, "how did satan survive the flood", Scripture does not say, directly. And lastly: You are absolutely correct, Jesus is our well spring of Living Water. terrib Maybe you would like to fill-in your profile. It is always interesting to know about other brothers and sisters and some of their experiences. |

24 | OT LAW ?? | Gen 26:5 | terrib | 150569 | ||
Hi Merv, Well, there was a law of good and a law of evil through knowledge to know the difference. And this came into play in the garden. Noah found grace because he was perfect (upright) in the eyes of God. Noah lived according to the law of good; of conscience; the same with Abraham. There is no place before Moses that there is a mentioning of any written law. And we can suppose anything we want. And yes, God rested on the seventh day, but the Sabbath was not imposed until Exodus, as far as it is written. The Ten Commandments and sundry laws were given to the Israelites in Exodus and they were to keep all the law, whither inside the ark or outside. The ark is called the Ark of the Covenant or testament, but Christ brought in a new testament: Mat 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. So the old is now superceded by the new; the law of Christ. The old was a natural law and the new is spiritual law and being made higher than the natural has now taken the old law's place. I know your driving point, and I do believe in a Sabbath, but the day I appoint unto God may be different than the day you appoint unto God. But Paul says, if I regard a day, I regard it, if I don't, I don't. Do you make a sandwich and eat it on your Sabbath? Do you do laundry on your Sabbath? Do we break the law on the Sabbath? I am not under the law of the Sabbath. I regard the Sabbath to the Lord whatever I am doing. The Sabbath is for me, for my rest. That is me. My conscience is clear because I do it in faith. terrib |

Dear EdB, Maybe we should revisit Eph 4:1 - 13. Eph 4:1 Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, Eph 4:2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, Eph 4:3 being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Eph 4:4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; Eph 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, Eph 4:6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. Eph 4:7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift. Eph 4:8 Therefore it says, "WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN." Eph 4:9 (Now this expression, "He ascended," what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth? Eph 4:10 He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.) Eph 4:11 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, Eph 4:12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; Eph 4:13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. Eph 4:8 The "Therefore" definity ties it to the preceeding thought, verse 7, the gifts. "The conqueror leading the conquered (death, sin, principalities) and distributing gifts of grace to men. As in verse 11, He wouldn't be giving these gifts to the dead. Eph 4:9,10 talks of his death and resurrection. Eph 4:11 "And He gave some...", some what? He gave some the gifts referenced in verse 7. And what were these gifts? The gifts of the Holy Spirit to be an apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher for the equipping of the saints for work of service. Paul is preaching on preserving peace and unity and the gifts that make up the different offices of the church. I find no connection with Lazarus and the rich man in Luke. with grace, terrib |

Hi EdB, Let us remember that this discussion is for Biblical teaching and not to turn it into a thread as long as your arm that ultimaley becomes a debate. You wrote, "and every creditable Bible scholar I know points to Eph 4:8 as fruition of that transference." Matthew Henry: "...Let us set ourselves to think of the ascension of Jesus Christ: that our blessed Redeemer, having risen from the dead, in gone to heaven, where he sits at the right hand of the Majesty on high, which completed the proof of his being the Son of God. As great conquerors, when they rode in their triumphal chariots, used to be attended with the most illustrious of their captives led in chains, and were wont to scatter their largesses and bounty among the soldiers and other spectators of their triumphs, so Christ, when he ascended into heaven, as a triumphant conqueror, led captivity captive. It is a phrase used in the Old Testament to signify a conquest over enemies, especially over such as formerly had led others captive; (see Jdg 5:12). Captivity is here put for captives, and signifies all our spiritual enemies, who brought us into captivity before. He conquered those who had conquered us; such as sin, the devil, and death. Indeed, he triumphed over these on the cross; but the triumph was completed at his ascension, when he became Lord over all, and had the keys of death and hades put into his hands..." - Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible - John Wesley: "...Wherefore he saith - That is, in reference to which God saith by David, Having ascended on high, he led captivity captive - He triumphed over all his enemies, Satan, sin, and death, which had before enslaved all the world: alluding to the custom of ancient conquerors, who led those they had conquered in chains after them. And, as they also used to give donatives to the people, at their return from victory, so he gave gifts to men - Both the ordinary and extraordinary gifts of the Spirit..." - John Wesley's Explanatory Notes - John Gill: "...he led captivity captive; which is expressive of Christ's conquests and triumph over sin, Satan, the world, death, and the grave; and indeed, every spiritual enemy of his and his people, especially the devil, who leads men captive at his will, and is therefore called captivity, and his principalities and powers, whom Christ has spoiled and triumphed over; the allusion is to the public triumphs of the Romans, in which captives were led in chains, and exposed to open view..." - John Gill's Exposition on the Entire Bible - Adam Clarke: "...When he ascended up on high - The whole of this verse, as it stands in the psalm, seems to refer to a military triumph. Take the following paraphrase: Thou hast ascended on high: the conqueror was placed in a very elevated chariot. Thou hast led captivity captive: the conquered kings and generals were usually bound behind the chariot of the conqueror, to grace the triumph. Thou host received gifts for (Paul, given gifts unto) men: at such times the conqueror was wont to throw money among the crowd. Even to the rebellious: those who had fought against him now submit unto him, and share his munificence; for it is the property of a hero to be generous. That the Lord God might dwell among them: the conqueror being now come to fix his abode in the conquered provinces, and subdue the people to his laws. All this the apostle applies to the resurrection, ascension, and glory of Christ..." - Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Also you mentioned 1 Peter 3:19: "by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, Tells us Jesus preached to those in prison (captivity)." You left off the rest of the context of that verse i.e. verse 20: "who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. " 'during the construction of the ark' is the key phrase here. These were those at the time before the flood. And the context of this passage is silent about the 'freeing' of the spirits that were in captivity only that He made "proclamation to the spirits"(NASB). It does not say that He brought those spirits to heaven. with grace, terrib |

Before my answers, where do you think Abraham is? 1. Do I think Abraham's bosom is still occupied? - Yes. Because it was used as an endearment term that the Jews understood because Abraham was the father of their nation. i.e.(to lay on the bosom of Abraham) Being in Abraham's bosom was-is to be in paradise. Jesus had yet to ascend to heaven at that time in Luke. After His ascension they were all there together in paradise as He told the thief on the cross. 2. Do I believe that a saint today upon death goes into the presence of the Lord? - Yes. with grace, terrib |

30 | Any Hebrew translators out there? | Josh 22:22 | terrib | 147931 | ||
Hi Ray, I did a search in three versions of the Bible. KJV: Search phrase: "The LORD God of gods" (as it appears in KJV) One occurrence at: Jos 22:22 The same three words (El Elohim Yehovah) are used in Psa 50:1, but the KJV does not translate them the same as in Jos 22:22. NASB: Search phrase: "The Mighty One, God, the LORD" (as it appears in NASB) Two occurrences at: Jos 22:22 and Psa 50:1 American Standard(ASV) Search phrase: "The Mighty One, God, Jehovah" (as it appears in ASV) Two occurrences at: Jos 22:22 and Psa 50:1 Psa 50:1(KJV) «A Psalm of Asaph.» The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. Psa 50:1(NASB) A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God, the LORD, has spoken, And summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. Psa 50:1(ASV) The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, hath spoken, And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. Concerning the three words (El Elohim Yehovah), "Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible" does reference Psa 50:1 as does "Keil and Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament". Just something to think about. NOTE: I replaced the "greater than" and the "less than" symbols in the KJV of Psa 50:1 with « and » because the forum does not allow those characters. terrib |

31 | Dominion Miracles | 1 Sam 1:1 | terrib | 151184 | ||
Greetings Dahammer54, First we must remember before all else, Satan is an angel and a created being. Angels are not omniscient (all knowing) nor are they omnipresent (present everywhere at the same time). All things created are under the direct authority of God (Col 1:16-17). You could do a study on angels. Your first question: "1) Where in the Bible dose God give Satin Dominion over the world" The Bible does not say that Satan has dominion over the world, some have taken this from, (2 Cor 4:4)"...god of this world". Others take it from (Gen 3:14) "...thou art cursed above all ...upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life". God has set boundaries that Satan has to abide by (Jud 1:6) "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day". Your second question: "2) AS Satan works to lead people away from Christ does he have the power to heal and do Miracles." Satan can do only what the Lord lets him do, as in the Book of Job, he can inflict the body and has the power to take life. (Job 2:6) "And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life." If Satan has the power to put something onto a person he would have the power to take that away which he put onto them, which may seem to be a miracle to some. Remember, Jesus said the he comes as an angel of light, trying to deceive those he can. But, Christ has overcome all these powers and submitted Himself to the Father by going to the cross for the sins of the world, where He showed openly by His resurrection that He had the power to restore God's creation to Himself that we might have everlasting life with Him. (Rom 8:38-39) "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." It is an interesting study and should be done. For in the study one will come away with the knowledge that in God there is freedom and not bondage and that God does what He does for His creation that love Him. Psa 37:40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in Him. Hope this helps, terrib |

Dear members, I know this is not a trivia forum, but this is too amazing to pass up. Q: What is the shortest chapter in the Bible? A: Psalms 117 Q: What is the longest chapter in the Bible? A: Psalms 119 Q: Which chapter is in the center of the Bible? A: Psalms 118 Fact: There are 594 chapters before Psalms 118 Fact: There are 594 chapters after Psalms 118 Add these numbers up and you get 1188. Q: What is the center verse in the Bible? A: Psalms 118:8 Q: Does this verse say something significant about God's perfect will for our lives? The next time someone says they would like to find God's perfect will for their lives and that they want to be in the center of His will, just send them to the center of His Word! Psalms 118:8 (NKJV) "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man." Now isn't that odd how this worked out (or was God in the center of it)? terrib |

Hi Punkiedo, Being attacked (not happened yet) does not bother me for I know there are only two religions in this world - God's and Satan's. By the way, there will not be any Pentecostals in Heaven nor will there be any Baptists there nor any other branch by which they have been named, only Christians. So that part I understand and forbear. Eph 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. I have not checked out that piece of trivia either but thought it was interesting. I do know that chapter and verse numbering is not in the original manuscripts but interesting none the less. Thanks for your response. I did read your profile. Welcome aboard! terrib |

36 | How is hope deferred? | Prov 13:12 | terrib | 112966 | ||
mommapbs, You asked, "how could it make the heart sick?". It doesn't make the heart sick in the physical sense but in an emotional sense; wanting the promise to come but having to wait for that which is promised, with a longing that sometimes comes to the tune of pining. Like wanting to be with your loved ones and at a time they are separated from you and your heart aches for them. Your heart is sick for them. You said, "Jesus said that He came to give us life - abundant life, right here, right now!" and "He gives us HIS desires", yes these are true and because we have these things now they are no longer a hope, they are a reality. Hope is something you wait for, something in the future. Spiritually we are seated with Him in heavenly places (Eph 2:6) but physically we are bound, for now, to this Earth, this dust. (2Co 5:6 KJV) "Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:" For as Moses knew God by voice and fire, his desire was to look upon His face but this flesh cannot contain the glory of His physical presence for the flesh is corrupt and nothing corrupt may enter into His presence. So we hope for the incorruptible. For if we hope in Christ only for the things of this life, or if our hope in Him is bounded with this life, and confined to the things of it, and does not reach to the things of another life, the things of eternity, the invisible glories of another world, to be enjoyed in soul and body; "...we are of all men the most miserable." (1 Cor 15:19) So, "exercising the hope that is within us" is no longer hope but faith, for faith is that of the present and hope that of the future. I guess sometimes I get a little melancholy, for I am ready to depart and soon the time will be, as with all of us, for as my youth was just yesterday my time will be as close as tomorrow. (Rom 15:13 KJV) Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. terrib |

38 | Such thing as a choice? | Eccl 6:10 | terrib | 153158 | ||
Hi Tim, The original question used the phrase "God changes His mind". It might have been better to use the phrase "God changes His plan of action". Either way, I do agree with your outlook as to the Jonah situation. The insert below has some good points to it: Can our prayers cause God to change his mind? (Exodus 32:14) God does not change, but he will adjust his decrees to fit our response. The Bible contains many examples of this — the Hebrews on the outskirts of Canaan (Num. 14:11-23); Hezekiah's repentance on behalf of Israel (2 Chron. 29:3-10, 36); the sparing of Nineveh (Jonah 3:1-10). God's will is dynamic. As with any interpersonal relationship, God's relationship with humanity involves give and take. God accommodates his responses to ours; we adjust our responses to God's. So it can be said on this level, God sometimes changes his mind in response to our prayers. At the same time, God's will is determined. There are decrees and promises he has made that do not change. He kept his covenant with the Israelites (Deut. 7:7-8) and keeps his new covenant with us (John 6:37-40, 44). God wants us to follow his will obediently. He has predetermined ways he would like us to respond, but we have the choice to do them or not (Psalm 143:10; Heb. 10:35-39; 1 Thes. 5:18-18; 2 Peter 3:9). These three aspects of God's will work together. It is not possible for us to understand how, but God is ultimately in control. We might compare the relationship between God, his will and his people to a chess match between a novice player and a master. The novice can make any move he chooses and the master will respond accordingly. But the master will always be in control of the game. The analogy is limited and cannot be pressed further: God's people "win" when the Master's will is done. (Quest Study Bible, page 121. Copyright © Zondervan. Used by permission.) You are right, if everything is scripted then there is no freedom of choice! It is amazing how some like to put God in a box. I think the Pharasees were doing the same thing. The letter, the letter of the law kills. Too much theology can kill the Spirit, for in time it is no longer the Spirit that is teaching, but man. Some only believe what is written. Well, is there anything in the Scriptures that tells us what God is doing today, no, it is not in the Scriptures? Well, if it is not in the Scriptures then today never really happened, give me a break! Did people pray today? Did God answer prayer today? It's not in the Scriptures! Are we living in a vacuum? The Bible teaches us the basics of God, not the end of God! Is everything written in the Scriptures, NO, (John 21:25 KJV) "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen." Where is mercy if everything is pre-planned? terrib |

Seeker1940 and Brothers, Eze 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. Ah...how this has hit a target in my heart. Thank you for opening this vision up to me again. For I see in me a certain complacency in the comfort in Christ. And I also see a time when I am not doing all that I can and am able to do for my Savior. "but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand". Thy judgment has come into my heart, Oh Lord. My God, my Father, forgive me for not doing all I can do. I see the sword coming and I have not sounded the alarm. I am worse than a worm. I have let my enemy overthrow me. Safe in my world I venture not out. I have betrayed my love. My God, my Father, forgive me. The tears are on my pillow and I put a cover over my head. I see the eye of the Lord upon me and He sees my workings. My God, my Father, forgive me. terrib |
