21 | Psalm 22 Revisited......... | Not Specified | ischus | 115977 | ||
Hello Everyone!!! I was reading through the different posts on Psalm 22 and noticed that most people said something to the extent that God turned his back on Jesus. I know that was a couple years ago, but does anyone still believe that this is true? I am not seeing how this can be an accurate interpretation of Jesus' death. Any ideas?????? |

how is it that baptism would be considered a work, and that Titus 3 does not refer to baptism when speaking about washing in the Spirit? | ||||||
24 | How can moses say about his burrial? | OT general | ischus | 115975 | ||
BradK, I agree with these general statements, and I do not subscribe to Welhaussen's views on the bible. It is clear that Moses was not the only author of the Pentateuch however, and to say that he was ignores both internal and external evidence. ischus |

25 | How can moses say about his burrial? | OT general | ischus | 115969 | ||
BlackDiamond, obviously Moses did not write this part. He did not write a lot of Deuteronomy- see how it is talking about Moses from the third person for the most part. Many think that Joshua was recording these words of Moses... but the final person to write in it was many many years after Moses. See how the last few verses talk about how there has "never" been another "prophet" like Moses in all of Israel? Why would someone write this about him right after he died? This was written long after Moses, and after several prophets had come and gone, giving this person someone to compare Moses to. ischus |

26 | who benefits most from prayer? | Bible general Archive 2 | ischus | 115962 | ||
Three things: 1) I think that when someone engages in conversation with God they are blessed by God, God is Blessed by them, those who they pray for are blessed by God, and God is blessed by being a blessing to them. So...if you want to go by the tally system it is God who is the most blessed in prayer. 2) I truly believe in the power of praying the word of God recorded in Scripture. There is great power in using God's word for healing, strength, comfort, etc. BUT- I think that prayer is more spiritual that physical, meaning that it is not necessarily the words spoken, but the heart that it comes from- the faith that it comes from. Even if someone doesn't speak a single word, when they meditate or internally pray God's word, they are praying words of power. Even the HS tells God what is in our heart if it is not able to be communicated with words. 3) As far as this whole conversation goes, it truly depends on one's worldview and where they are from. In the Western part of the world we are so naturalistic and scientifically enlightened that we miss out on a lot of the spiritual realities and powers of prayer. Those cultures which are non-western have greater insights into prayer, and their advice should be taken well. ischus |

27 | feast | Luke 22:17 | ischus | 115954 | ||
Sure- The best book that I would recommend for an introduction to Jesus and the Passover/Lord's Supper would definitely be "Christ in the Passover" by Ceil and Moishe Rosen. This book will answer all your questions, and give you a deeper meaning to the Lord's Supper. The Rosen's are a husband and wife who are Messianic Jews. Besides doing many church presentations about this topic, they have written a small, yet informative book. Although it is just over 100 pages, it is one of the best books I have ever read on the Lord's Supper or the Passover. I am pretty sure that it is still in print. The copy that I have is from 1978, but one of my friends just bought one recently and so you should be able to find one. If not, let me know and I will help you out- You definitely need to read this book! ischus |

29 | cups? | Luke 22:17 | ischus | 115903 | ||
The Church of Christ wanted to immitate the passages of everyone sharing the same cup, and therefore partaking in a worthy, biblical manner. Also, the cup in Luke 22:17 is not the same cup that we celebrate in the Lord's supper. The one that we celebrate is the next one, in 22:20, which mentions nothing about dividing it. Obviously, this is a very legalistic approach to the scriptures, although there is nothing wrong with using one cup. If you study the Jewish Passover you will find that each person typically has their own cup. Since Jesus requested that the room be prepared for them to celebrate this feast, it is most likely that each had his own cup (as seen in Lk.22:17) ischus |

I think you should find what you are looking for in Judges 21 if you read the whole chapter. It refers to the tribe of Benjamin. ischus |

34 | How is the Bible the Word of God? | Ezra 9:2 | ischus | 115870 | ||
Tim- I agree totally with all of this. my case is strickly for our english bible today, certainly not for the original autographs! I do take 2 Peter to be referring to "prophesy" and not "all scripture"(as in Tim.) I know the definition of prophesy and I know that it is not just "prediction and foretelling," but I take this to be the "thus says the Lord" comments of scripture. clearly there are many scriptures that were the interpretation or commentary of men about a particular situation, especially in the OT. ischus |

36 | Who wrote II Samuel? | 2 Samuel | ischus | 115862 | ||
Hello KABBAK, Originally, 1st and 2nd Samuel were one book. Jewish tradition says that the author of this book is Samuel, but as you have pointed out, this is not possible. Samuel has some part in the authorship (1 Sam. 8:1ff) but the majority of the book(s) can be attributed to sources such as the book of Jasher, Nathan, and Gad. The completion of the book is at least 400 years after Samuel lived (1 Sam. 14:18). Samuel did have a part in this book(s), but it was minimal. ischus |

37 | Is it right to say Judas's heart was har | John 17:12 | ischus | 115858 | ||
TREN'T, Although there was a prophesy for someone to betray Jesus, that does not mean that Judas was born for this purpose. It would be against his free will for God to make him do this. God does not harden peoples' hearts against their own will, and the same is true for Judas. Jesus had several opportunities before Judas' betrayal to be killed, and I'm sure that he would have had plenty of opportunities in the future. He simply chose this betrayal as the time to fulfill his mission. He knew Judas' heart, and despite trying to keep Judas from sinning, Judas went away and betrayed him. Jesus cared for Judas- he didn't want him to harden his heart. He was a chosen disciple, a beloved friend. ischus |

38 | This seesm to point to preordination (I | Eph 1:4 | ischus | 115841 | ||
Hello kimberlyann ! Welcome to the forum. There have been many conversations and many different views about predestination expressed on this forum, which you can find in the quick search box. My view is that God chooses/elects all to salvation, but we have the free will to either accept or reject him. This is demonstrated throughout the bible, from Adam to Noah to Abraham... all the way to Judas and Saul(Paul). ischus |

39 | Intermarriage | Ezra 9:2 | ischus | 115812 | ||
Steve, I think that neither of us can see the others point to be very convincing. I think that the people were heavily influenced by Ezra's behavior, and they felt guily only after his prayer and other comments. They saw nothing wrong with what they were doing. They just came out of captivity, they knew what was right and wrong, Ezra over-reacted in an attempt to honor God, the people felt bad that they made Ezra upset, so they broke up their families and did what Ezra told them to. Keep in mind that God never said anything in this situation- Ezra and others only used previous scripture to support their actions. Think about this: What does God value more- heart or actions? I know that you can use this to support your view as well, but I truly think that God knew their hearts, and that he wanted them to live with the Gentiles, not just use them or cast them out of the city. ischus |
