21 | how can you get many spirits in one body | Mark 5:9 | DPMartin | 234461 | ||
Nothing in scripture I have ever found that would say anything remotely close to that. As far as more then one spirit in one body the only reference to that I recollect is legion (Mk:5:1-19) were Jesus cast the many in one person into many swine. |

22 | Who really deserves to go to Hell/Heaven | Eph 2:8 | DPMartin | 234458 | ||
The same happens to the murderer/rapist and the person deemed good by his fellows around him. (Eccl:2:14) They both die, or maybe better said return to the ground from which they were made. Therefore only God can change that, which requires a agreeable, peaceful relationship, which God has given through His Son Jesus Christ. Grace isn’t merited by deed, it is given of God through Faith. And even so, the Lord explains His view when questioned about the woman washing His feet with her hair.(Luke:7:36-50) He who has been forgiven much is thankful much, he who has been forgiven little is thankful little and if you noticed the Lord didn't turned away the woman's affections as to His Lordship. So it is apparent that the Lord likes repentance and the penitent. Those that are not Humble and think to have earned their own way into Heaven will find out that it is otherwise. Isa:57:15: For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. |

23 | John 8:24 | John 8:24 | DPMartin | 234446 | ||
Don’t confuse the issue of being saved, (Jesus Christ is your Salvation), and the understanding of “trinity”. Jn:3:18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Believing in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, is the only begotten Son of God is sufficient. The thief on the Cross acknowledged Him as Lord, the Lord, and if you notice, it was sufficient for the Lord to promise him that He would see him in paradise that day. Understanding the relationship of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, is some thing you come into the understanding of in your relationship with the Lord. The aggravation with the entities that preach and teach “trinity” never seem to have the answer for the understanding thereof. The usual bailout or back peddle is “it’s a mystery” meaning they don’t know what they preach. |

BradK You have to be way incorrect, in your assumption "We get to know our faith- our Saviour through the written Word, not experientially." Though it is true that faith comes by hearing the Truth of God but no one believes what he don’t know, nor follows what he don’t know, hence knowing the Presence of God is required in order to follow. What bible did Abraham read, or was the Lord God with him? Did Abraham read some book and then followed or went to the land that is now Israel? Or did Abraham experience the Presence of God, and believed (note: God speaks in His Presence)? Or what book did Noah read when he followed instructions to build and ark? Or what book did Moses read? Was God’s deliverance of Goliath into David’s hand theory or experience. Was Job theorizing or experiencing, or was it, his friends were theorizing and Job was experiencing. And who was it that the Lord had a relationship with, Job, or Job’s friends? These people walked with the Lord their God, and documented that relationship (The Bible). The Way of the Lord God is to be with His People. Anyone who would think or say that it’s theory or theology (the Bible) doesn’t believe it is fact, or the truth. Such mind sets think to be superior to the Truth. (Please note that all my questions in this conversation have been rhetorical in nature, I am not looking for you to have, or expect you to have answers.) thanks |

BradK Thanks for the reply To put it plainly, a witness (in the case of Christianity) has experienced the Presence of God via the power of the Holy Spirit and his daily walk that the Lord is with him, and a theist knows his own thoughts on a matter, not necessarily based on personal experience. And the ignorant theist is correct about his own thoughts, or adopted theory/theology, therefore that makes him correct in his own eyes, but what he thinks isn’t correct. Jesus is always correct on and in all things, and in all matters, and anything else is contrary to that. So what “maturity” is there in holding on to something that may be contrary to what the Lord God thinks and knows? In most cases the theist believes his perception supercedes the Truth of God, and argues against the Truth of God with the gainsaying. And without a relationship with the Truth of God how can the theist know? And Jesus Christ being the Truth of God revealed in the flesh in the world wouldn’t withhold the Truth of God, unless one doesn’t have that relationship. The theist has a relationship with his own thoughts, and imaginations, and those who agree with him. |

Beja If you noticed, theology is a house of cards maintained by the intelligent, therefore they are more righteous then others who are not as intelligent.(Rom:10 the whole chapter)You can’t control scripture, but you can create theology and manipulate how people see and read scripture. The trouble is, theology makes people ignorant of the Lord God’s Presence. The religious leaders back in the day when Jesus walked with Israel had many different theologies some more influential in the culture then others by virtue of who many have had power and influence and what theology they were associated with. For example Pharisees Sadducees. But it was the fishermen and tax collectors and thieves that understood who Jesus is. Hence the intelligent was so smart they never recognized the true Presence of God. To what good is the gainsaying of one follower of one theology and the gainsaying of another in response, when it is Jesus the Christ that is the agreement? There is no theology in Heaven, and there is no disagreement with the Lord our God in Heaven. This statement that is presumed to be by King David isn’t theology, it is his experience with the Lord his God in the Lord God’s Presence with him. Ps:18:2: The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. |

29 | Which is first, wrath or Grace? | Rom 2:2 | DPMartin | 234409 | ||
EdB Its very simple, God made the man and then made the garden and then placed the man in the garden. What is the life that God chose for the man? And now what is the life Adam and Eve have after they made their own choice? Hence we are born into that life, that is the place of sin, guilt, shame, blame, condemnation, and the choice to judge what is good or evil. Therefore, Jesus restoring us to God’s choice, which is Jesus His Son, hence the son ship shared, or given as John speaks of in 1 John. If one rejects restoration into the Presence of God via the Holy Spirit, then the result is not happiness with the Lord God. And since we are in the earth, in the world, if some one rejects the Presence of God in the place they be, (that was given to them) then that person should expect the Lord Jesus to not welcome that person into Heaven where He is. There are many who honor sin and insist in it’s power, to guilt, to shame to blame to condemn to judge another with and to bring men to death. When it is the Lord who is Life, Life eternal that says to fear Him. Hence honor and respect the power of God’s Grace which has always been, because God has always been. There is no doubt in the mind of Christ, of the Father’s Love for Him. Aren’t we supposes to seek the mind of Christ to replace our own? Isn’t the Father’s Love, before anything, since it is true that "God is Love"? thanks |

Beja thanks for the reply How can it be that we don’t need mercy when scripture says this: (KJV) ******************** Mt:5:7: Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Mt:9:13: But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Mt:23:23: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Lk:1:50: And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. Lk:1:54: He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; Lk:1:72: To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; Lk:1:78: Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, *************** Why it is that the “Mercy seat” covers the ark of the covenant, and the law therein, and the Lord God said He would appear (Ex:25:22) and meet with them, meaning Israelites, if Mercy isn’t needed? Theory isn’t Truth, at best it is merely what men imagine something they don’t know to be, and in that, is no revelation that is of the Lord God, is there? And scripture is all about the Living Almighty God and His relationship with His People, which is revelation of the Lord God to His People, not theory. I do believe even in philosophy circles, theory is theory, and knowledge or knowing, is revelation, but don’t hold me to that. You said : “we know that God's wrath comes in response to sin” Sorry its your belief that God's wrath comes in response to sin. If that were true then what is Jesus’ offering on the Cross all about? Granted, Jesus suffered in our place, but wasn’t that act the Mercy of God to have His Son His only begotten Son suffer in our place? And isn’t it so that all manner of “sin” shall be forgiven unto men, (Mt:12:31) How is that is a response of wrath to sin? The Lord God’s response to sin through His Son is Mercy and Forgiveness to the point where the forgiven’s sins are forgotten. Nobody said there isn’t wrath, but most of that has been men to men, not God to men. At least as of yet. It would seem that the wrath would be toward the refusal of the Presence of His Holy Son our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the world. |

32 | Which is first, wrath or Grace? | Not Specified | DPMartin | 234396 | ||
Which is first, wrath or Grace? And consider: why is it, that we are required to know, and believe (Jn:6:29). I mean we are born into the world we have no problem with the fact that the world is, and learning how things are and work in the world, but the Kingdom of Heaven, few if any understand. Jesus witnessed the Father to us (Mt:7:21) that we may know and believe, and what would that accomplish, unless grace is first? Because if wrath was first, who would survive? Noah found Grace in the Lord God’s sight (Gen:6:8:), note that your made to know that, via the scripture. And in scripture it is the first place Grace is mentioned. Also, when the Lord heard the case of Adam and Eve in the Garden (Gen:3), (note nothing was asked of, nor heard from the serpent) was it Grace that was in action there? If wrath was first would they even made it out of the garden? Even before the Spirit of God came into His creation, there was nothing to be perceived until He did come into creation and said let there be light. If His Presence never came into creation, would there be light? And note, there was still darkness, and God separated the two. Didn’t Jesus (the Light of men)(Jn:1:4) come into the world to deliver use from the wrath of God (Jn:3:36)? And the darkness comprehended it not, hence there is still darkness in the world even though the Light of the world came into the world. And let us not confuse Judgement of God as wrath, according to the Lord God it is something to live by. (Gen:18:19, Lev:18:4-5) Is it the lack of knowledge of, and believing in, God’s Grace that would, or could result in wrath? |

34 | christians thanksgiving view | Lev 7:12 | DPMartin | 234381 | ||
If you are thanking the Lord God in the name of Jesus Christ for provisions of abundance and blessing, or what ever you have, then why not? Besides who else would you be thanking anyway if you are Christian? Even in the Torah there is an offering of thanksgiving, that the Lord God establish. (Lev:7:12) And the Lord Jesus thanked the Father when He would break bread. | ||||||
35 | where does it say we have to chosen min. | Bible general Archive 4 | DPMartin | 234379 | ||
EdB is correct, Apostle Paul was a good example of this. In Damascus he preached and confounded the Jews until they sot to destroy him, while not associated with any particular ministry. And it was Barnabas who brought Paul before the Apostles for approval to be in the Ministry at Jerusalem. (Act:9) Hence at the approval of the Apostles. If the Lord Jesus set’s a church in the hands of a person then that person or persons are to ok any activity associated to that ministry. It is presumed that these who work in the name of the Lord seek the Lord’s guidance or directing on all matters. That is a presumption, but not necessarily true in all cases. |

36 | Jesus' death embody His ministry message | NT general | DPMartin | 234369 | ||
It all depends on, in who’s view. From the Lord Jesus’ view who was trying to be subversive to who’s governing? Jesus has the right/birth-right and He is Lord and Master. Who was trying to subvert who? Jesus being the Word of God who came into the flesh. The Word of God was already understood as the undisputed Lord and King of Israel. The Jewish leadership tried to prove that the Lord Jesus was not who He said He is. As far as the Romans, common sense would tell you they really didn’t care what Israelites believe, all they really cared about was their dominance in the region and maintaining that rule without calling out the troops from Rome. If it meant crucifying some one like Jesus to keep the peace then why wouldn’t they do so? Son of God , and Messiah is not something Romans cared about, unless it was something they had to deal with. There is no reason to believe that Pilot seen Jesus as a threat. On the contrary Pilot seen Jesus as a man that has done no wrong. It was the Jewish leadership that was the problem. Jesus was escorted into Jerusalem as the rightful King on Palm Sunday, (An Israeli tradition when a King of Israel is to take his place)which He is, that was what was being subverted, at least that is what the Jewish leadership thought they were doing, but in reality the Lord Jesus was offering Himself, by allowing these things to come to pass. Jesus came into the world as any son of man does and He left the world as one of the lowliest in the world does, but it is His Resurrection that is significant. His Ministry is about the Kingdom of Heaven of which there is Salvation, deliverance from death (His resurrection proving so) and Eternal Life that He has given us. |

You’re welcome, I was thinking that Apostle John might be one, but it didn’t look it up to verify, so I didn’t mention him. I keep thinking there is some one else in the OT who did the same as in eating a book or scroll that was sweet and was sour in the belly. Some have had a burning coal put on their tung, maybe that is it. | ||||||
38 | explain this in the new testament | Deut 25:11 | DPMartin | 234365 | ||
Why? Isn’t the explanation in the Old Testament sufficient for you? Deut:25:12: Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her. In the site of the Lord God apparently this is a offence or a trespass or a sin. According to the Gospel (NT), forgivable. |
||||||
39 | Is it possible to cease from sinning | 2 Tim 2:15 | DPMartin | 234363 | ||
Sure, but are you talking about the act, or what is in the heart? A criminal will stop committing crimes if he values his life more, or his freedom more, but that doesn’t mean his heart is not the same. And that is what the Lord Jesus is talking about more often then not. If what is in the heart isn’t replaced with what is in the Lord’s Heart then no, the sinner continues to contemplate the fulfillment of what is in his heart (Gen:8:21) even though he might not act on it, but if he perceives that opportunity presents itself and there is no risk or fear of losing what he values more, he might follow through with it. Hence fear of the Lord thy God, has its value.(Deut:17:19) If what is in man’s heart is replaced by what is in the Lord’s heart, then the desire and expectations are for the fulfillment of what is in the Lord’s heart. For example righteousness. When the Lord God referred to King David as a man after His own heart, can be perceived as one who seeks the love of God or God’s favor, but could it mean that King David wanted the same heart as his Lord and Master’s Heart, and detested that which was of his own? |
