221 | Evangelism in Prisons? | Matt 28:19 | Tamara Brewington | 205832 | ||
Dear Forum members, Evangelism is a Biblical concept. When I tried to post before the book of the Bible I choose for a reference did not remain when I finaly hit "submit". The Forum says this; Postings must be Biblically based and not opposing the Bible's sole authority (sola Scriptura), Christianity, or the deity of Jesus Christ. Whenever possible, postings should include supporting Bible references. Please note that it says Biblicaly based not scripturaly based please... And to include a scripture where possible. Does any body know what Christians are allowed to present in prisons? Are they allowed to preach the gospel, is there a restriction not to proselityze openly or something? Evangelizing is Biblical... I have a reason for this, but it is not whether or not I plan to do prison evangelism. God Bless Tam |

224 | Salvation message of Jesus | Mark | Tamara Brewington | 204439 | ||
Lookinforacity, This is Tamara, I am going to jump in on this one, there is an answer to your dillema here and it lies in the nature of what is called progressive revelation. Jesus, when He was walking around on the earth was telling people to repent of their sins and to believe that the kingdom of God was in their midst and to belive that He was God - that was the first and the only gospel message that was being preached by Himself and the apostles before He was rejected and crucified. Then He was rejected, that message was rejected and He was crucified and then resurrected. He went and showed Himself to the disciples and told them to wait for the Holy Spirit to come on them with power so that they could go be witnesses of Him (spread the good news). The disciples after Pentecost began to preach a new message than the one they were preaching before Jesus died. This is called progressive revelation - the new message being preached by the apostles and disciples became the repentance of sin, the crucifixion and the resurrection. Both messages had the power to save, it is just that the message changed in nature a bit. John is absolutely right to tell you that the gospel Jesus was referring to in the passage you originaly cited was the message of salvation, it was just a bit different than it is now. There are several areas of viewing the Bible that constitute what the word gospel encompasses and each one of these views leads or has lead to salvation and is the gospel. You can't separate the history from the message and you can't separate the work and words of Jesus to save people while He was alive from the message we now preach or the history of how it got that way. It all fits together into one message delivered in three different ways. A)There are three definitions of what we can call the good news or the gospel; 1.The Gospel as the whole life and death story of Jesus culminating in a final proof that He is God. 2.The Gospel as the message we preach to: demonstrate that people are sinners, demonstrate the need for salvation, present the means of salvation. 3.The Gospel as the ministry of Jesus. B)A break down of what A) is talking about using scripture; The Gospel As The Whole Life And Death Story Of Jesus Culminating In The Final Proof That He Is God The Early Years Of Jesus Mathew 1:1 – 4:11, Mark 1:1 – 13, Luke 1:5 – 2:52 Jesus Begins His Ministry Mathew 4:12 – 22, Luke 3:22 – 4:15, 1:19 – 4:45 The Galilean And Judean Ministry Mathew 4:23 – 20:34, Mark 1:14 – 10:52, Luke 4:16 – 19:27, John 4:54 – 12:11 Jesus At Jerusalem Mathew 21:9 – 27:66, Mark 11:1 – 15:57, Luke 19:28 – 23:56, John 12:12 – 19:42 The Resurrection And Ascension Mathew 28:1 – 28:20, Mark 16:1 – 16:20, Luke 24:1 – 24:53, John 20:1 0 21:25 The Gospel As The Message We Preach The Mandate To Preach The Gospel Mathew 10:7, Mark 16:15, Acts 1:8, II Timothy 4:2 Romans 1:3, 4, I Corinthians 15:1 – 4, II Timothy 2:8, I Corinthians 1:23, Acts 2:23, 24, Acts 10:39, 40, Acts 4:2, Acts 4:12, Acts 9:20, Acts 17:3 Demonstrate That People Are Sinners Romans 3:10, Romans 11:31, Psalm 14:1, Psalm 51:5, Ecclesiastes 7:20 Demonstrate The Need For Salvation Ephesians 2:1, Ephesians 4:18, Hebrews 10:31, John 8:24 Psalm 7:11, Revelation 20:11 Present The Means Of Salvation Romans 10:9, 10, John 3:3, 5, Acts 16, 30, Acts 17:30, The Gospel As The Ministry Of Jesus The Sermon On The Mount Mathew 5:1 – 7:29, Luke 6:20 - 49 The Parables Mathew 5:14 – 16, 7:24 – 27, 9:16, 17, 13:3 – 23, 13:24 – 30, 13:31, 32, 13:33, 13:44, 13:45, 46, 13:47 – 50, 18:12 – 14, 18:23 – 35, 20:1 – 16, 21:33 – 45, 22:2 – 14, 24:32 – 44, 25:1 - 13, 25:14 – 30, Mark 4:26 – 29, 13:33 – 37, Luke 7:41 – 43, 10:30 – 37, 11:5 – 13, 12:16 – 21, 12:35 – 40, 12:42 – 48, 13:6 – 9, 14:16:24 – 35, 15:8 – 10, 15:11 – 32, 16:1 – 13, 16:19 – 31, 17:7 – 10, 18:1 – 8, 18:9 – 14, 19:11 – 27.

Dear Lookinforacity, The Content of the Gospel as a title over the verse and verses that go with it below, inadvertantly got left out when I posted you last where it says; Romans 1:3 etc. as a second set of verses ending with Acts 17:3, as a paragraph under the mandate to preach the gosel. Tamara |

226 | What is the Gospel? | Mark | Tamara Brewington | 204459 | ||
Dear Brother Tim, I found something within the concept of what I was referrig Lookinforacity to about what the Gospel consists of. Mathew 4:23 Jesus was going throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people. This concept of what the Gospel is comes from Isaiah 61:1, 2 where Isaiah says the good news is bringing the good news to the afflicted, sending to bind up the broken hearted, proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to prisoners, proclaiming the favorable year of the Lord and this description of what the good news is gets repeated by Jesus as a fulfillment of prophechy in Luke 4:18-19. Jesus says again that the time has come as a fulfillment of prophecy that the kingdom has come and to repent and in believe in the good news, referring to the fulfillment of prophecy that the kingdom has come. Mark 1:15 and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel. I found something interesting in the OT; Isaiah 52:7 How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news of happiness, who announces salvation, and says to Zion, your God reigns! According to this verse Isaiah is saying that the good news of happiness is the announcement of salvation and saying that God reigns. What is the most interesting part of what Isaiah says though is that the good news is the news of happiness because of the announcement of salvation. This is clearly the Bible saying that salvation is the Gospel message. Now, let's turn to the matter of what the disciples were preaching as the content of the gospel message and how that contrasts with the content of what Jesus preached. We will be able to conclude that both messages were preaching salvation through Jesus Christ, just in different ways. Acts 13:32 Now, Paul says a couple of things here; 1) Jesus was raised up by God to be His Son, meaning Jesus is God (the kingdom is at hand)as a fulfillment of prophecy, 2)God raised Jesus from the dead, part of the new message the apostles began preaching after Jesus rose, 3)unlike David who died Jesus inherited His eternal throne,4)the forgiveness of sins through Jesus continued to be a part of the Gospel message. Acts 2:22-36 Peter's first preaching echoes the elements of Paul's preaching in Acts 13. In verse 23 Peter mentions the predetermined plan and foreknowledgd of God which indicates that God raised Jesus up according to a plan to be curcified. Verse 24 speaks about God raising Jesus from the dead death being impossible to hold Him in its power. Verse 29-35 speaks of David dying and Jesus having conquered death being the heir to the throne next to God in heaven and implies co-rulership of God's kingdom. The elements are the same 4 elements Paul used. Acts 10:34-48 Peter takes elements from Jesus ministry that the sick were healed and the captives freed which was an old element, the crucifixion of Jesus and His raising from the dead which was a new element, and the forgiveness of sins through Jesus which was an old element. Acts 4:2 Peter and John preached the resurrection of Jesus. I Corinthians 1:23 Paul preached Christ crucufied as the salvation message a new element. II Corinthians 4:5 Paul preached Jesus as Lord an old element. Romans 1:26 Paul says that the Gospel is the power of God for salvation an old element. Ephesians 1:16 Paul says that the Gosel is the message of truth of salvation. Ephesians 6:15 Paul says the Gospel is peace meaning peace between God and man. The over all understanding we can take away from all this is that the Bible says specifically that the Gospel is the message of salvation. It was first preached in the OT at various times by various men in several ways (too long to get into here and now). Then it was preached a second way by Jesus as the kingdom of God is at hand meaning Jesus is God with all the attendant signs, the repentance of sins through Jesus, and believing that Jesus is God. Then it was preached a third way through the apostles as mainly although with varying elements; Jesus is the Son of God, Jesus was raised from the dead by God, Jesus did not undergo decay like David but was raised from the dead and rules on His throne eternally, men must repent of their sins through Jesus. I hope I answered the question right, please correct me if I didn't. God bless Tamara |

Dear rgarden1, We can't read into the text what is not there, it does not say if it ws just his friends or him too. But I would tend to think that the man did have faith too because how else could Jesus forgive the man's sins unless he believed in Jesus and repented? Hope this helped, God Bless, Tamara |

My dear RC, I always forgive you. I say what follows in respect and love. I am not in college at all, just a Bible school. and yes I went checking although I didn't say that for each question and didn't find an answer so I posted the questions. These are not class questions per say, some of them did not stem from hearing things I did not agree or disagree with in class, but came from looking at some passages. But some of them did come from taking class and being left wondering more about the subject, or just plain frustrated with what I have been taught. But I never, ask something because I need an answer for class and look for the answer here. I often ask forum members what they think about a take on a subject that I already have researched and don't agree with what a professor taught, but not to be able to take that to go pass a class. These are professors who decided to devote their time to a Bible School for lay people. Does it really matter what my motive is in asking a question other than a real desire to study everything about the Bible? As long as I am not tryint to get a grade by doing it what is the harm to anyone? God bless Tamara |

My Dearest RC, There is absolutely no offense taken at all. I am very sorry to hear what happened to you and can see how it might color how you view some things, hard to remain unjaded I know.:) Wondering if you would care to enlighten me about the erroneous teachings of Dispensationalism? Not looking for a debate I promise you, I will be open to a new view than mine. Please email me at whatdoyoubelieve@hotmail.com. I am a Dispensationalist who believes in an Historical Futuristic view of Revelation based on Revelation 1:3,9, I am also a Pre-Millenialist. However, there are elements of what people call Dispensationalist, Historical Futurist that I don't agree with as they are currently being taught. As I said, I am not looking to debate, maybe just ask you questions since you have been around for a while and try to understand your views. Just a thought, hat lady |

Dear RC, No problem I will be wanting to write you back of course don't worry I always write back, character flaw I think. You got me wondering already what it realy matters how old the theology is, that smacks of holding to the traditions of the church fathers and the chruch above the higher authority of the Bible. I could care very little how old it is, only if is correct, but we will be getting into that after you finish teaching me what you know if that is ok with you. email me HAT LADY GOD BLESS |

240 | Christians Demon Plagued? | Mark 16:17 | Tamara Brewington | 205646 | ||
Dear Forum members, I have a friend from school who is a minister in a Pentecostal church, I am Baptist always have been always will be. I went to a function at his church tonight to fellow ship with him and his lovely wife. I heard a number of things I have heard before that I wonder if some of you know more about than I do... Here is the deal; the visiting preacher was talking about a situation where a member of his church who had confessed the Lord Jesus and asked for forgiveness of sins was plagued by demons. Here is what she was doing that was the outward sign, she stripped naked to the nothingness of nakedness several times during services while he was preaching very quickly before the ushers could stop her. This man is an arch-bishop of a Pentecostal church, he had interviewed this woman to make sure she was saved as best he could and had baptized her immediately after her profession of faith and repentance the same day she confessed the Lord Jesus. The deacons in his church were highly upset saying how very fast she took all those clothes off, remarking that she never had any undergarments to hinder her haste and saying as how she seemed to be a demon plagued Christian and some said a demon possesed Christian. I am not so stupid or so new as to think that a Christian could actually have the spirit of the devil and the Holy Ghost at the same time. He never said she was possesed, he said she was demon plagued and that the demon had to be cast out of her in the name of Jesus before her sanity returned to her. We know from the Bible that folks who are saved can actually do things by the spirit of Satan, like Peter did and still be saved, which means the spirit of Satan is operating through them, working through them, even though they are sealed by the Holy Ghost. What do you all think of this? Do you see anything here according to what I have said that you could illuminate by the scriptures on? God's Blessings Tam |
