21 | Saved by belief or belief and baptism? | NT general Archive 1 | jg8ball | 511 | ||
Is belief in Jesus the only requirement to be saved or is (water) baptism also required? I've always believed it was belief alone, but a friend of mine says it's both. We've found verses that support both theories. | ||||||
22 | What I am asking is baptism a requiement | NT general Archive 1 | jg8ball | 534 | ||
I think you misinterpreted what I asked (or maybe I didn't pose my question clearly enough). What I am asking is baptism a requiement for salvation? I realize that you should be baptized after believing but I feel believing is the only requirement for salvation while my friend believes that both believing and baptism are a requirement for salvation. This then could lead to other thoughts about infants that are baptized and whether or not full immersion is necessary. PS. We both are baptized. |

25 | JESUS'S DEATH | NT general Archive 1 | jg8ball | 635 | ||
I believe that Jesus died for ALL humanity and ALL humanity has the opportunity for salvation because of this great sacrifice. Acts 2:21 "And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:8-13 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." 1 Tim 2:3-6 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time. |

27 | Why did God put us on earth with satin? | Genesis | jg8ball | 508 | ||
Maybe God's using us to teach Satan a lesson. (just a thought) | ||||||
28 | What was the mark on Cain put by God? | Genesis | jg8ball | 509 | ||
I don't think it was ever specified as to what type of mark it was. It must have been something the people would have known about though. Why do you ask? | ||||||
29 | How long did Adam and Eve live in Eden | Genesis | jg8ball | 682 | ||
I can think of two posiblities. 1) Less than 128 years (and probably not too much less than that). When Adam and Eve left Eden, they had Abel and Cain. When Adam was 130 Years old, they had Seth. 2) Who really knows? It could be that they didn't start counting Adam and Eve's age until after they left Eden (after all they didn't age in Eden) so it could be they had Seth 180 years after leaving and had abel the first year upon being forced out. I tend to believe the second option but really can't say for sure. |

32 | did the cannaanites become black | Gen 4:15 | jg8ball | 782 | ||
The verse you referenced is incorrect. If you are referring to the mark put on Cain, son of Adam, then this has nothing to do with the Canaanites. The bible does not specify what the mark was. It could have been a mark on the forehead, on the hand, it could have been a overall skin color change (black, white, purple, green or whatever). No one can seriously say for sure. I would highly doubt though that the black race (or, more correctly, group - after all we are all of the human race) of people were cursed. If you are talking about Gen 9:25 when Noah cursed Canaan (his grandson) which later his descendents became the canaanites, the Bible does not mention what the curse was other than he will be slaves to his brothers. If you are somehow interpreting that because they were made slaves, they are black then you have assumed way too much. |

33 | Who were the son's of God in Job? | Gen 6:4 | jg8ball | 247 | ||
The NIV translates the "sons of God" to "Angels". The Hebrew word used is Ben-elohiym and roughly translates to "A group, sons of, or descendents of a mighty one or God" Because they were there with God and Satan would imply Angels rather than man. The Nephilim mentioned in Gen 6:4 could potentially refer to these Angels. This could explain why the children of the Nephilim and women were bigger and stronger than man. (also see Num 13:33, Num 13:28, Deut 1:28, Josh 11:22 and Josh 14:12 in this order) | ||||||
34 | God, Satan, and Job's sons discuss dad? | Gen 6:4 | jg8ball | 324 | ||
I admit I'm not a Hebrew scholar but in verse 4 (not 5) when it mentions Job's sons, it uses the word "ben" by itself. (translates to sons, children, descendents...") In verse 6 it uses the words ben-elohiym which translate to Sons of God. Putting this in context then tells us the Sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came with them. The Hebrew word for present themselves is "yasab" which translates "to stand before". This implies that the sons of God as well as satan were literally standing in God's presense. How could you interpret this as being Job's sons? Do you really think that God, satan, and Job's sons were standing around talking about Job's faith? Gen 6:4 does use the same "ben-elohiym" when talking about the Sons of God. Whether or not the Nephilim are the offspring of the Sons of God and the daughters of man, I haven't investigated thoroughly enough to make a definite conclusion. Keep in mind that the ASV and KJVs are a word for word translation while the NIV is a thought for thought translation. When doing a word for word translation you run the risk of loosing the original meaning because some words could have more than one meaining and also the the way the words were used together could have different meanings. A thought for thought translation tries to take this into account. Granted, you rely upon how the interpreter translates but same goes for what words the word for word translators choose. |

35 | God, Satan, and Job's sons discuss dad? | Gen 6:4 | jg8ball | 557 | ||
I'll try and further investigate the "sons of God" as to whether it means man or angels. As far as the NIV version, I believe that God also inspired the translators when pulling out the meaning of what the original authors wrote. I guess to really know, we'd all have to learn Hebrew and Greek and study the original manuscripts. But if I am remembering correctly, the New Testiment (or parts of it) was most likely written in Aramaic and was later translated to Greek. Since we no longer have the original, we must rely on those early translators. |

36 | Covenant to Abraham revoked? | Gen 17:7 | jg8ball | 1653 | ||
I don't remember the bible talking about canceling the old covenant in favor of the new. I've always interpreted as the new covenant grafted the gentiles onto the old covenant so that all would be included in God's plan. There are many verses that mention Jews and Gentiles... I don't recall anything implying any sort of cancellation. I was always told that contracts could be broken but not God's covenants (of course this could be oppinion). If you know of any verses that people use to state otherwise, I'd be curious to see them. | ||||||

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Note that it doesn't say some of our sins but implies all our sins. Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. If God could forgive the people that crucified His son, I don't think there's nothing He couldn't forgive. Hope that helps. |
