221 | Why was his heart hardened? | Ex 4:21 | ebrain | 163747 | ||
Thank you Steve for your post. I thought I was sending one to you, but sent it (3:14pm to day) to Mark in error, so please read same, and it will put this post into persoective. Ezekiel, and 2nd Peter were refered to as a contrast to John 12:40, this latter verse was drawn to my attention by Mark, who I in turn asked to reconcile it with E and P above. At first glance, it would appear that these verses disagree with each other, and that is exactly why I used the word "appear" in an eairler post. Of course Scripture does not dissagree with itself, and whats more it cannot be made to do so. There must therefore be another explanation, and that is what I wanted when I asked for a reconciliation of these verses. Yours because I am His. Edwin. |

222 | Why was his heart hardened? | Ex 4:21 | ebrain | 163742 | ||
Yes you are correct in your understanding of what I was attempting to convey. Take for example the verse to which you drew my attention, i.e. Ex 4:21. in this verse our Lord not only says that He will harden Pharaoh's heart but reminds Moses to be sure to perform all the miracles that the Lord had put in his power. Now why do you think it is put this way?, because it is as a result of these miracles that Moses must perform that Pharaoh's heart will be hardened, after all it is God who performs the miracles, Moses is just the agent through whom it is done. P.S. I will deal with your question on Ezekiel. and 2nd Peter seperatly. Every blessing. Edwin. |

223 | Why was his heart hardened? | Ex 4:21 | ebrain | 163721 | ||
Thank you Steve for your post. I have never said that the Lord did not harden Pharaoh"s heart, What I am concerned with is the implications of this, and how it was done. The means employed by the Lord is made clear in Exodus 7:13. 8:15, and 32. 9:7, and 34. Five times, it is clear that Pharoah hardened his own heart, before at 10:1, the Lord says to Moses "I have hardened his heart". Anyone can harden another persons heart, just try preaching the Gospel to a crowd of unconverted people, and see what reacation you get. At Ex 4:21, the Lord tells Moses what is going to happen at 10:1, If the Holy Spirir has caused it to be recorded five times that Pharoah hardened his own heart,before one reaches 10:1, then there is a very good reason why He has done so. The above is how I understand it was done, the implications thereof I hope to deal with in a another post. I hope Steve that this is of help to you, If you would like further clarification, then please ask. |

Eve was allways a part of the human race, but is not herself the human race, she is mearly, with her husbands help, the mother thereof. I am sorry about any missunderstanding. Christian love. Edwin. |

No I am not saying that, in fact I am supprised that you should ask such a question. | ||||||

227 | Why was his heart hardened? | Ex 4:21 | ebrain | 163496 | ||
Thank you for your post. Would you please read Ezekiel 33:11, and 2 Peter 3:9, and tell me how it is possible to reconcile "I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked", and "not wishing that any should perish, but but that all should reach repentance", with John 12:40, which you quote? Please explain why the Lord who has made it clear that He does not will that any should perish, then appears to be saying that He hardens hearts to stop them from being healed? |

228 | Does Sin mean the same in Old and New | Rom 5:14 | ebrain | 163493 | ||
Sin no matter how it is described, is against God, and that is all that matters. Salvation from sin no matter how it is described, is allways by the same method. |

229 | Jesus laying down of His powers | Luke 5:22 | ebrain | 163357 | ||
Jesus knew the Pharisees thoughts, because His Father revealed them to Him, this the Father was able to do because Jesus allways maintained an attitude towards His Father of, "Not my will, but thine be done", however, it does not follow that if you do the same you also will be able to read other peoples thoughts. All that you would be doing, is giving God permission to use you in any way He may wish. The manner in which He manifests Himself through you, and what He reveals to you, is entirely up to Him. |

231 | How To Hear The Lord | Rom 10:17 | ebrain | 163153 | ||
Heb 11:6, not only requires you to acknowledge His existance, but also believe that if you seek Him then you will indeed be rewarded. Can you in fact truthfully say that you do know that seeking Him, you will find Him? If you can say yes, then He will most certainly make contact with you, I have no Idea how, or when, but it is impossibile for God not to do what He clearly says in His Word He will do. |

232 | if you are saved are you always saved? | Bible general Archive 3 | ebrain | 162936 | ||
It is clear from Scripture that the Lord does not save everyone, but in fact only a few (Matt 7:14). In John 6:65, it is written "no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father". Are you saying in fact that God grants salvation to persons that He knows in advance will loose it? That He is not able to do what He says He is able to do at Jude v 24? |

233 | Where in verses is Jesus God | Bible general Archive 3 | ebrain | 162074 | ||
May I also add Isaiah Ch 48 v 16, and Isaiah Ch 6 vs 1-5, with John Ch 12 vs 37-41, and of course the three claims to be "I AM" found in the 8th chapter of John, at vs 24, 28, and 58. note "he" is not found in the original Greek. | ||||||

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness As above, See also Rom 2:15, 4:13, 4:16, and 8:3. I do hope that this is of help, God bless you. |

236 | Is the name Christian being ridiculed? | James 2:5 | ebrain | 161688 | ||
My understanding also is that the word Christian was used by Jews, and other none Christians as a term of contempt to describe the followers of Jesus. Belivers in the early days of the Church called themselves "the way". |

237 | What is a Nephilum? | Gen 6:4 | ebrain | 161672 | ||
Thank you Doc, you are of course right, I should have prefaced my remarks in the way you suggest, and not allowed speculation to be considered as fact. What was in my mind at the time was attempting to answer a question that was mearly academic, and in no way could it be considered as Basic Foundational Christian Doctrine. Your point is taken, however, and I shall in future endeavor to be more carefull. Thank you again for your fellowship. Every blessing. ebrain |

239 | Explain A Normal Christian Life? | Col 3:5 | ebrain | 161447 | ||
I can strongly recommend a book entitled "The Normal Christian Life" by Watchman Nee. He also wrote "Sit Walk Stand", and another book that I think was called "What Shall This Man Do". Every blessing. ebrain. |

240 | What is a Nephilum? | Gen 6:4 | ebrain | 161401 | ||
The only verses that I can bring to mind which appear to support my view, are found at 2nd Peter Ch 2 vs 4-5. It would appear that the Jews who produced the Septuagint, when looking for a suitable Greek word to represent what they understood the Nephilim to be,chose Titan. If you Doc can quote a Scripture to indicate that my conclusion is incorrect, then please do so, or otherwise give me your considered opinion as to who you think the Nephilim were?. Respectfully yours. Edwin Brain. |
