221 | Where there Gen 1:24-31; 2:18-20; 4: 17? | Genesis | biblicalman | 228593 | ||
Man was probably alive during the dinosaur age compare genesis 1.21, 24, 26. Gen 1.26 describes the first creation of man, and that was Adam. so no, there were no true men before him After the resurrection true Christians will have a spiritual body (1 Cor 15.44). |

222 | Is sinless perfection possible on earth? | 1 John 1:8 | biblicalman | 228591 | ||
To fall short of the glory of God is sin (Romans 3.23). Not to love God with heart, soul, mind and strength is sin (Deut.6.5). To know to do good and do it not is sin (James 4.17). Not to love the stranger as ourselves is sin (Lev 19.34). To fail to do to others what we would have them do to us is sin (Matthew 7.12). Can anyone really say they observe all of these? I have met people who believed in sinless perfection, but I observed sin in them when they did not observe it themselves. And I have never known anyone who lived by the standards described above. That is why John said, 'if we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us' (1 John 1.8). Compare James 3.2, 8; Jeremiah 2.35. It is possible in the power of the risen Christ to achieve a state where we live for a while without known sin, in the sense of avoiding what we know to be sin. But that is very different from being sinless. Indeed Isaiah said, 'all our righteousnesses are as defiled rags'. That is why Paul could say, 'I am carnal. Sold under sin.' (Romans 7.14). He was not speaking of what we might call sin. His sins were probably a failure sometimes in prayer or the overlooking of an individual's needs. But it was still sin. To come short of total perfection is sin. If such a man lived his prayers would be so powerful that the world would see and know. But such a man would be aware of the deceitfulness of his own heart. Thus yes our aim should be total sinlessness, total positive perfection, but we will never totslly achieve it in this life. |

223 | How can the Son at the end be subject be | 1 Cor 15:28 | biblicalman | 228585 | ||
seektruth (but unable to find it) says: Because the Son not only has complete divine nature, but also complete human nature, not only did He speak as being God, but He also spoke as being man. That meant He spoke of God as we all should - referring to God as "God", as well as with those male-pronouns "He", "His" and "Him". Answer: This is perfectly true. seektruth but unable to find it) says: This is where we largely see differently. I say this is Jesus speaking as a man, whereas you say this is the second person speaking to the first person Answer: This is were you go astray. You are making Jesus two persons. But two 'natures' does NOT indicate two persons. It is the divine Spirit of Christ which is manifest through both natures. Thus when Jesus speaks to the Father it IS God speaking to God. Jesus could never speak 'just as a man', for He was God manifest in the flesh. Even when He spoke as a man He spoke as God. |

224 | How can the Son at the end be subject be | 1 Cor 15:28 | biblicalman | 228584 | ||
seektruth (but unable to find it) says: Look at John 1:1... You can't interpret that to me without changing the definition of God each time He comes up. You'd say that the Word was with God (the Father), and was God (the Son), right? Answer: No you are not right. The Word was with God (in interaction with God), does not refer to His interaction with the Father but His interaction with the Godhead. And the fact that He was God emphasises His participation in the Godhead. So there is no change of use. |

225 | How can the Son at the end be subject be | 1 Cor 15:28 | biblicalman | 228583 | ||
seektruth (and unable to find it) says: Most assuredly, Jesus is God. The Son is the Father manifest in the flesh. Answer : Nowhere does Scripture say that the Father was manifest in the flesh. It says GOD was manifest in the flesh, and then finally taken up in glory, clearly referring to the SON in distinction from the Father.. seektruth (but unable to find it) says: The Father is not the Son, but He is in the Son. There lies the difference. Answer: your statement is correct although not in the sense in which you mean it. It is true that the Father is not the Son. There are personal distinctions within the Godhead. It is true that the Father is in the Son, and that the Son is in the Father, for they are one God and in constant inter-communication. The difference lies in the fact that they intercommunicate and inter-react. seektruth (but unable to find it) says: And, Jesus was certainly not praying to Himself. Jesus was fully man, and as a man He had to pray to the Father. Answer: Jesus was fully man, but He was more than fully man. He was God become man. Thus while our human spirit manifests itself through our body, in His Case it was His divine Spirit which was manifest through His body. Thus when Jesus prayed to the Father, it was God speaking to God. |

226 | How can the Son at the end be subject be | 1 Cor 15:28 | biblicalman | 228567 | ||
you say you believe in the full deity of Christ? Do you believe in the full deity of Jesus? If you do how do you explain that Christ Jesus prayed to His Father. Was He talking to Himself? | ||||||

228 | How can the Son at the end be subject be | 1 Cor 15:28 | biblicalman | 228565 | ||
well seektruth (unbiblical) i'm glad you chose 1 John 3.1-5 you will note just before that it says quite clearly 'No one who denies the Son has the Father'. 'And the Word became flesh and dwelt among and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only Son of the Father' (John 1.14). This clearly indicates that it is the Son Who became flesh. But take warning with your attitude you will never see the truth. You are in danger of blaspheming against the Holy Spirit. I am sorry, you are not seeking truth. You are fighting it. |

229 | Will all have chance to accept Christ? | Rev 14:6 | biblicalman | 228553 | ||
We could also add to Romans 1.19-21, (which is confirmed in Romans 10.17-18), Romans 2.14-16. Best wishes |

230 | We do what we can and God does what we c | Rom 8:28 | biblicalman | 228548 | ||
Well the nearest I can think of is 'God makes all things work together for good to those who love Him'(Rom 8.28). But the principle is right as long as we are walking in His will. There are many Biblical examples where that is exactly what happened. One example is Jonathan's foray against the Philistines (1 Sam 14.6) |

232 | old city names to current city names | Genesis | biblicalman | 228535 | ||
Edom and Idumea were not cities. Edom was the land in which the Edomites lived. Idumea was the region of southern Judah that they settled in when they were driven out of Edom. Jerusalem was sometimes called Zion. |

233 | can a christian lose their salvation? | John 10:28 | biblicalman | 228532 | ||
This is a question which has been asked many times before and can be researched. However, I will deal with it briefly. Salvation is a privilege and a gift from God (Romans 3.24; Ephesians 2.8-9). It is not thus ours to gain or lose. Our dependence is not on ourselves but on our Saviour. 'My sheep hear My voice and I know them and the follow Me, and I give to them eternal life, and they will never perish and none will pluck them from My hand.' (John 10.27-28). But it must be noted that inherent in being saved is that we follow Him. We cannot receive the LORD Jesus Christ as our Saviour without receiving Him as our LORD. See also 1 Corinthians 1.8-9; Philippians 2.6; 2 Timothy 1.12; Titus 3.4-7; Jude 24. |

234 | ... | Bible general Archive 4 | biblicalman | 228524 | ||
Jehovah is not God's Name. It is impossible Hebrew. God's Name was YHWH. And we are not sure how it was pronounced. In order that people reading the text might not pronounce the sacred Name the vowels of adonai (Lord) were added to the four consonant. It was pronouncing this in ignorance that produced the corrupt name Jehovah which is impossible in Hebrew. As no one knows how the Name of God should be pronounced, and as Jesus chose not to enlighten us (demonstrating that He did not see it as important) it would clearly not be possible for us to use it today because we would not be sure that what we were pronouncing was His Name. |

235 | SIN | 1 Cor 5:10 | biblicalman | 228515 | ||
Yes, there are some sins that are worse than others. Murder and adultery are two. But the only sin that is unforgiveable is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. This involves resisting the Hoy Spirit as He points to Christ so often that the person becomes hardened and unreachable. We are told to flee from sin and heretics, not from sinners. It is quite reasonable that your friend lives with his family as long as they are not putting pressure on him to turn from Christ (see 1 Corinthians 5.10). Indeed he has a responsibilty to seek to win them for Christ. |

236 | How far was it from Canaan to Egypt | Exodus | biblicalman | 228510 | ||
By the Via Maris (the way of the Philistines) it was about 150 miles from Gaza to the Egyptian border towns (Aharoni). It depends of course where you start from and where you see the borders. The Israelites took a much longer route in order to avoid the Egyptian army and forts, but they still accomplished it in just over a year (excluding the nine months at Sinai). Best wishes |

237 | why 5 stones for david's sling? | 1 Samuel | biblicalman | 228508 | ||
Possibly because he counted them on his fingers. Possibly because 5 is the number of covenant. But most likely because that was all that would fit into his pouch. While an expert slinger he was not arrogant and took into account that he might miss. | ||||||
238 | First apostle killed for his faith? | Acts 12:2 | biblicalman | 228506 | ||
