21 | What year did Jesus die? | Bible general Archive 1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 51139 | ||
Greetings songbird!! Well, the best way to answer your question is this: We cannot be sure in this day what His exact dates of birth and death are, because of the many, many changes to the calender over the centuries. The closest I have heard is that He was born(bodily) in about 4 A.D. So assuming he lived(bodily) for about 33 years, I would say he died on the cross in about 37 A.D.

22 | Is salvation that difficult? | Bible general Archive 1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 51142 | ||
Greetings justmee!! To answer your question, I would have to of course agree with billk. gaining salvation is EASY!!! Read II Corinthians 11:3. It is perservering, leaving the world system behind, and trusting in God instead of ourselves that is the hard part. I once read a tract that said salvation is as easy as ABC: Admit we are sinners Believe Jesus died for our sins Confess His name I agree with you justme. We(people) do make it sound more difficult than it really is!!! May the Grace of Our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

23 | books on how they lived and believed? | Bible general Archive 1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 51359 | ||
Greetings Browser!! There are many, many books on the Apostles and their contemporaries. I do not know the exact titles, but one idea would be to go to Amazon.com or bn.com(Barnes and Noble's website) and type in the subject you are looking for. To make it easier, you may want to add the word "apostle" (if indeed they are one). That way, you don't come back with 8 billion titles/authors with the name Paul or Peter..:) May the Grace of Our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

24 | interracial origins and marriage/child | Bible general Archive 1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 51362 | ||
Greetings consumedbythecall!! God does command the children of Israel not to marry(or give their children in marraige to) groups like the Canaanites, Amalekites, etc. BUT that is only because they worshipped other gods. If any of these people came to worship the LORD God of Abraham, then they could marry them. Take Boaz(a Jew) for example. He married a Moabitess(Ruth), who had accepted the LORD as God. She begat Obed, who begat Jesse, who begat David. Also, we learn in Numbers 12:1 that Moses himself had married an AEthiopian woman. ------------------------------------ Furthermore, consider this: Matt 19:17c but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." Matt 19:18b Then he said to Him, "Which ones?" Matt 19:19b YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."(NASB) [edited for space] Now, compare this passage with some verses from 1 John-- 1 John 2:4 The one who says, "I have come to know Him," and DOES NOT KEEP His commandments, is a LIAR, and the truth is NOT in him;...(NASB)[emphases mine] ------------------------------------ 1 John 2:9 The one who says he is in the Light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now. 1 John 2:10 The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 1 John 2:11 But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes. (NASB) We are commanded in Matthew 19(and Leviticus 19) to love our meighbor. So, according to I John 2, if we do not love our neighbor, we have not kept His commandments, and the truth is not in us. In my opinion(and I dare say the opinion of all in this forum), anyone who perverts Scripture to try to justify bigotry and hatred deserves whatever punishment the Judge has waiting for him.

26 | why can't a christian dink or dance | Bible general Archive 1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 51475 | ||
Greetings ENS!! First off, I would like to commend you for your strength in resisting your peers' pressures on you to do something you do not feel comfortable doing. To add to the excellent posit offered by SSprln, I would offer the following: 1 Pet 2:13 Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, 1 Pet 2:14 or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right In other words, God(through the Apostle Peter) is commanding us to obey the laws of the land.(I am assuming that you are in high school? If not, then I apologize) And in all 50 states, you must be 21 to drink alcohol(although there are some people well over 21 who should not drink at all. But I digress) So, you have Scripture on your side there. As far as dancing itself, no there is no biblical prohibiton as long as it is done in a dignified manner. However, when it is done in a lewd and lascivious manner, then it does become disgraceful. May the Grace of our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

27 | Was it complete? | Bible general Archive 1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 51477 | ||
greetings, mommapbs!! I just wanted to throw a few verse out there, to show that it is repentance, Grace, and faith that save, not water: Luke 7:50 And He said to the woman, Thy FAITH hath saved thee; go in peace.(KJV) Luke 18:42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy FAITH hath saved thee. 43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.(KJV)[note: no mention of baptism] Acts 15:11 But we believe that through the GRACE of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved.(KJV) Rom 5:9 Much more then, having now been justified by HIS BLOOD, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. (NASB) Eph 2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, Eph 2:5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by GRACE you have been saved)(NASB) Titus 3:4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, Titus 3:5 He saved us, NOT ON THE BASIS OF THINGS WHICH WE HAVE DONE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, but according to His MERCY, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, (NASB) I could go on, but I think that pretty much sums it up. May the Grace of our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

28 | Do we as men dictate the terms of Salv? | Bible general Archive 1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 51814 | ||
Greetings Grace and Truth!! Let me ask you these questions: Q: What did Jesus cry out before He said,"Father into Thy hand I commend my spirit"(Luke 23:46, KJV)? A: "It is FINISHED"(John 19:30, KJV) "It is finished" comes from the Greek "teleo" From Strong's-- 5055 teleo [tel-eh'-o] 1) to bring to a close, to finish, to end 1a) passed, finished 2) to perform, execute, complete, fulfil, (so that the thing done corresponds to what has been said, the order, command etc.) 2a) with special reference to the subject matter, to carry out the contents of a command 2b) with reference also to the form, to do just as commanded, and generally involving the notion of time, TO PERFORM THE LAST ACT WHICH COMPLETES A PROCESS, TO ACCOMPLISH, FULFILL 3) to pay 3a) of tribute [emhases mine] ---- "It is finished" John 19:30 Q: What was completed, fulfilled, finished? A: Our salvation Q: What has God ever started that WE can complete? A: Nothing!! Q: Can aything we do ever make us righteous in God's eyes? A: NO Q: Does even the keeping of God's commands make us righteous in His eyes? A: NO Q: If someone repents, and accepts Jesus as his Saviour on their deathbed, without the chance to be baptized, are they saved? A: Yes(Matt 20:16 "So the last shall be first, and the first last." (NASB)) Q: Does God make different rules for salvation for different people? A: No. Q: Should we be baptized as the outward sign of our inward faith? A: Yes My friend, I do not mean to sound as if I think baptism is unimportant. It is a commandment from God, and we should seek to fulfill His commandments. But it is not the keeping of His commandments that gets us into heaven(Galatians 3:3--...Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?). For if we believe that keeping ONE of His commandments brings us salvation, then we must believe in(and strive for) keeping them all. Our salvation comes only by the shed blood of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. May the Grace of Our Lord be with you!! 2nds Samuel 22 |

29 | Do we as men dictate the terms of Salv? | Bible general Archive 1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 51860 | ||
Greetings Grace and Truth!! Well, I see that neither one of us is going to persuade the other to change their position. You say baptism saves, I say baptism is the result of saving faith. So, like Tim Moran, I will also end my side of this thread. Let me just say in closing, though, that we will see each other in the Kingdom of Heaven. Just so you know, yes, I have been baptized..:) May the grace of our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

30 | Church choirs? | Bible general Archive 1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 52049 | ||
Dear Raven, James 5:13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him SING PSALMS.(KJV) Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with PSALMS AND HYMNS AND SPIRITUAL SONGS, SINGING with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Col 3:17 WHATEVER you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.(NASB) 1 Cor 14:15 What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also. Raven, you mentioned Malachi 3:6, how God never changes. This is true. And there may not be any SPECIFIC mention of choirs, all throughout Scripture we read about singing to the LORD. Look at the titles of so many of the Psalms. They are addressed "To the chief musician..." In Revelations, the angels and the 24 elders come before God with songs and harps. We are to love our God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Singing, if it comes from the heart, is pleasing to God, whether one person or an entire choir. May the Grace of Our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear fellow believers, According to some on this forum, it will be necessary to get rid of the following, since they are not found anywhere in Scripture: Sunday School Vacation Bible School Church breakfasts/suppers Rummage sales Wednesday evening services Nurseries Senior adult pastors Youth pastors College and Career pastors Marriage counselors Discipleship classes Altar calls Testimonies Prayerwalking Bibles(Hey, they aren't mentioned anywhere!!) Pews Sermon notes Church bulletins Church buses Crosses/crucifices in church Easter service/Passion plays Christmas service And hey, even if theses things are mentioned, and even if someone gives us proof, we'll just bury our head in the sand and deny, deny, deny.

Dear John Reformed, You must get confused with Reformer Joe quite often! Anyhoo, yes, my point is to quash legalism(Pharisaism, Dogmaticism, etc.) wherever it rears its ugly head. We are to love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strngth(Mark 12:30). And if you want to bang a drum, or gong, or strum a guitar to praise His Holy Name, then do it!!!! Unless you believe that poor King David(although forgiven for the whole Bathsheba incident) wound up in the Lowest Depths because he SANG for God. To turn the argument(from silence) around, nowhere does it FORBID us from playing instruments. hmmm Continue praising Him, lifting up holy hands!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

34 | what is a charismatic church | Bible general Archive 1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 52611 | ||
Dear EdB, I too would agree with Hank in saying that most Pentacostal churches(Holiness, Church of God in Christ, House of God, etc) must cringe when they see their doctrines perverted by Copeland, Hagin, Crouch/Crouch and Hinn. I have a friend in Chattanooga who pastors a House of God church, and although their services are different from Baptists, Presbyterian, and Lutheran, they are carried out with a love for God, and adherence to the true Gospel message. Unlike some other denominations, they do believe in divine healing. However(correct me if I am wrong), it's not the "Get up out of your wheelchair and dance" type some TV preachers deal in. God does heal, but in HIS time, His way, if we truly belive, through prayer and fasting and laying on of hands. I doubt you would see G.E. Patterson carry out the same kind of shenanigans as Ernest Angley or Ken Copeland. Again, if anything I have said is anything short of the truth, do not be offended. Please correct any inaccuracies. Thank you, and God Bless!! Continue in praise, lifting up holy hands!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear fellow believers, Not to be dogmatic, but has anyone noticed lately the flood of new members calling Jesus by the name(s) "Yashua", "Y'shua", "Jeshua", etc. I understand that "Jesus" was His name in Greek, and the others(however you want to spell them) are His Hebrew name. But it is awfully peculiar that we have had at least 3 new members calling Him by one of these names within the last week or two. There is a sect called the "Sacred Name" or "House of Yahweh", who DEMAND that we refer to Him by His Hebrew name. And when I used to(used to, that is) go to Christian chat rooms, they would pop in 2 or 3 at a time. I'm not saying this is happening here, but it is quite a coincidence. Again, I don't mean to ruffle feathers, this is just an observation. He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear Jeshuafreak, I hear what you're saying. And if we reeeeeally want to get technical, even spelling God's name "YHWH" is not correct, because those are not Hebrew letters. And He does have so many names: LORD Sabaoth, Father, Creator, Mighty, Sovereign, Merciful. I would run out of words before I would run out of names for my God!! You said--P.S. Jesusfreak was taken when I adopted this name, in case yooue wondered . "Jesus Freak" was one of the first songs my stepson listened to regularly after he was saved. He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear Steve, The people who believe this way don't realize one thing: That when the Jewish scribes copied manuscripts, there were so many steps they had to go through to do it. I found a website, detailing some. I won't go into all of them here, but they were pretty strict. He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

38 | Has anyone noticed? | Bible general Archive 1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 53529 | ||
Dear Hank, I do appreciate your concern over using the term "freak" to describe a follower of Our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. Let me explain a little about the song I mentioned: There is a Christian rock group(not to open a dissertation on THAT phrase) called DC Talk. There most famous song is called "Jesus Freak". They actually turn the tables on those who use that term derisively. The chorus goes like this: What would people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak? What will people do when they find out it's true? I don't really care if they label me a "Jesus Freak" There ain't no disguising the truth I think you get the picture.:) He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear Tim, While we are on this subject, I am looking into getting a Hebrew/Greek lexicon, and there are several I am interested in. I am leaning towards Vine's, and Nave's seems to be one I see frequently. I was considering Thayer, until I read some of his beliefs, and how they found their way into his work. Which one would you recommend? From reading your posts, and with your knowledge of Greek, I would greatly respect your opinion. Thank you. God is my Strength and Power, and He makes my way perfect!! 2nd samuel 22 |
