21 | Did Jesus pre-exist before his birth? | Gen 1:26 | Greg Martin | 44895 | ||
Also John 8:58 Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." And John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. |

John 8:44 These are excellent questions LadyK. I don't think I can answer in the context of your Genesis question. Had you not asked this question first, I believe I could have answered your question. But when put in the light of your creation question, I confess my inadequacy. Jesus said in John 8 that Satan is the father of lies and a murderer from the beginning. So those abiding in lies (not believing in our Lord and Savior) are sons of the father of lies. Jesus also said (John 10:4) "And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice." and (John 10:27) "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." So clearly those who don't believe do not know His voice - that is they can not comprehend the light (John 1:5) or know the truth. the lie lives in them and so they are sons of the father of lies. In the context of your original question, I don't know how to answer. When we are born again we are born of the Spirit, and the Spirit lives in us. In this sense we are sons of our Father, and are created in His image. We know that Paul tells us the Christ also lives in us. If Christ, then also the Father. It's the "from birth" part that gives me trouble. |

"1) Every non-Christian that I know considers it wrong for a Christian to drink. What does drinking do to our testimony?" Hmmm... 1) Every non-Christian that I know considers it wrong for a Christian to condemn homosexuality. What does condemning homosexuality do to our testimony? or 1) Every non-Christian that I know considers it wrong for a Christian to claim the only way to Heaven. What does claiming the only way to Heaven do to our testimony? This is no point at all. We are not to be judged by the world, but only by God and fellow believers. |

Luke 7:33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, "He has a demon.' 34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, "Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Jesus drank wine. 1 Timothy 5:23 No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities. The Bible tells us wine is healthy and to drink a little bit. The Pilgrims drank beer because they thought it to be more healthy than water. George Washington's favorite brew was made with pumpkin. Today we know that wine is healthy in small doses. Medical science shows it to clean the arteries and prevent heart attack and stoke. The Bible tells us that wine is good "for your infirmities" 2000 years ago. Who is more advanced? |

No offense taken, and I was not referring to you when I said some get mad and crinkle their nose. It's just a general observation I've noticed here. Some apparently think we can't discuss lighter points or engage in curiosity. That is not to accuse you, as I said, just a general observation. | ||||||

As opposed to the shape of the cross? You've got a good point if you're not one who likes to dig into details and trivial points much. Clearly it is not important what the shape of the cross was, but as a point of interest. I know some get mad and crinkle their nose at discussions that don't tackle earth shattering revelations in doctrine. But some like it, as do I. Important? No. Interesting? Yes. |

Question: How could they possibly nail both hands and also his feet to a stake? In order to do this the hands would have to be behind the stake, palm side up or above the head. In either case the intent of asphyxiation would not be possible. Try it. You'll prove it to yourself. | ||||||

All instances of the word cross in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are the word "stauros". This is generally translated "cross" but can mean "stake". In all four gospels, and in every translation, this word is translated as cross in all instances. This will not satisfy a Thomas, because there is no indication by context or useage whether stauros should be translated as cross or stake. However, unlike the quotes from the website cited, that "It never means two pieces of timber placed across one another at any angle, but always of one piece alone." The actual text says it can, and generally does. stauros (stow-ros') from the base of 2476; TDNT - 7:572,1071; n m AV - cross 28; 28 1) an upright stake, esp. a pointed one 2) a cross 2a) a well known instrument of most cruel and ignominious punishment, borrowed by the Greeks and Romans from the Phoenicians; to it were affixed among the Romans, down to the time of Constantine the Great, the guiltiest criminals, particularly the basest slaves, robbers, the authors and abetters of insurrections, and occasionally in the provinces, at the arbitrary pleasure of the governors, upright and peaceable men also, and even Roman citizens themselves 2b) the crucifixion which Christ underwent |

Where'd I get that information from? The Bible. Figuratively stoned. Or are you harping on a single word, "all", taking me more literally than you do the Bible? Luke 13:34 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!" The keepers of the Law are the keepers of the field. They were entrusted with the Father's property. When He sent the messengers (prophets) they killed them. (Don't get all semantical about the use of the word stoned or all - just because I didn't write a thousand words to explain it.) So the Father sent the Son. They were more brutal with Him than with the messengers. They killed Him also. 9 "Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vinedressers, and give the vineyard to others. The Temple was destroyed, the Pharisees and teachers of the Law were utterly cast out, and the Kingdom given to others, mostly gentiles. In my post I said "Therefore God gave the Church to the gentiles. (or at least to those who were not teachers of the Law and Pharisees)" So I made exception for the Jewish believers. You seem to have a chip on your shoulder about ethnicity, race and color. No one ever mentioned those. What is in your heart that you would come from such a perspective? Why do you rage at me and say for the most part what I have already said? You said “It has nothing to do with race, creed, color or national origin” That you include "creed" in that list, is absolutely ridiculous! Creed is a belief. Then you rail on about those who believe are saved. This is true. So why do you say it has nothing to do with creed? Are you parroting some liberal, humanist line or do you not know what is the meaning of the word creed, or both? Main Entry: creed Pronunciation: 'krEd Function: noun Etymology: Middle English crede, from Old English crEda, from Latin credo (first word of the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds), from credere to believe, trust, entrust; akin to Old Irish cretid he believes, Sanskrit srad-dadhAti Date: before 12th century 1 : a brief authoritative formula of religious belief 2 : a set of fundamental beliefs; also : a guiding principle But the fact remains. Israel was blinded in part and the Church given to the gentiles. Read Rom 11. Their branch was taken out. We were grafted in. Don’t be proud of it, you may be taken out just as easily. This is the summary of Rom 11. See also Isa 52:15 Rom 11:7 What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded. Rom 11:25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. |

God sent the prophets but the keepers of the Law and the Temple stoned them all, each one of them. Then He sent His Son and they brutalized Him and killed Him. Therefore God gave the Church to the gentiles. (or at least to those who were not teachers of the Law and pharisees) Jesus became the Capstone, or Cornerstone of the Church. |

John 2:10 And he said to him, "Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!" The good wine is strong drink. Luke 7:33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, "He has a demon.' 34The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, "Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'

1 Timothy 5:23 No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities. The Bible tells us wine is healthy and to drink a little bit. The Pilgrims drank beer because they thought it to be more healthy than water. George Washington's favorite brew was made with pumpkin. Anyone thinking they are "more spiritual" or "holier" than the Pilgrims or George Washington (the most righteous man who ever set foot on this continent) I quote to you Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. Luke 7:33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, "He has a demon.' 34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, "Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Jesus drank wine. But to you, top, I caution you Prov 20:1 Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise. Prov 21:17 He who loves pleasure will be a poor man; He who loves wine and oil will not be rich Eph 5:18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, Romans 14:21 It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak. So in other words, no it is not wrong to drink beer or wine in very small quantities and not in public, nor in the company of the weak or offended. |

Absolutely. If He demanded us to know He'd have told us. (Just as He kept the secret of the Western World from the earth until the time of His choosing) But even Engineers love the Word of God! It is our nature to seek out what is there and understand why. I don't suggest accountants and farmers do such study! Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. |
