221 | did the wine from the water make you dr | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 47177 | ||
Hi Tim, I did not do a search as you advised Biynah to do, so forgive me if you have answered this question before. My question is, would there be ANY possibility that the wine Jesus created in John 2 was alcoholic at all. Since it was new wine that Jesus created, and wine only becomes alcoholic from fermentation and decay, how could new wine ever be alcoholic? thanks, retxar |

222 | Is speaking in tongues for today? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 47171 | ||
I'm not really interested in a flame throwing exchange with you here, bro. That is defiantly not my intent and I don't think that is the intent of this forum either. I think I’m a little confused tho. You keep referring to me asking the question of whether the spiritual gift of tongues is a valid spiritual gift for today. I can not remember or find that I ever asked that question anywhere on this forum. If I have overlooked something, please let me know. The relevance of the spiritual gift of tongues, along with all spiritual gifts, to remain until Jesus’s return was clearly and undoubtable answered for me thru the Word alone. This question was answered for me with no hint of any other conclusion. I read and believed what the Word revealed to me many years before I had anything I could feel, see, hear, smell, or taste to base it on. The Word always confirms or disqualifies our experiences and observations, not the other way around. retxar |

I am glad the truth of God's Word is not established by my experience, my lack of experience, my observations, or the way I try to live it. If it was, we would all be in trouble! retxar |

I guess I need to better clarify what I was saying. With no interpretation, the uninformed or the unbeliever could bring judgement on themselves because they might treat the manifestation of the Holy Spirit with scoff and ridicule (1Co 14:23) and the Holy Spirit would be mocked (Act_2:13). This is the only interpretation that makes since because, as you pointed out, words of understanding would be the only ones those who are uninformed or unbelieving would recognize as from the Lord (1Co 14:24-25). retxar |

1Co_14:22 says tongues are a sign to unbelievers, but to understand what that means, one must also look at verses before and after. Tongues spoken to the congregation must be interpreted for the benefit and protection of the uninformed and the unbelievers (1Co_14:23). Uninterpreted, the sign to the uninformed or the unbelievers would NOT be a sign of edification, as would occur with interpretation (1Co_14:5). The manifestation of the Holy Spirit would become a sign of judgement to them because they would scoff and the Holy Spirit would be mocked (Act_2:13). The Isaiah quote in 1Co_14:21 bears this out. retxar |

226 | What is the proper NT church government? | NT general Archive 1 | retxar | 46359 | ||
Thanks Mommapbs As I got responses for scriptural support for an Elder governed church, this is a follow up question asking for anyone that may have a scriptural basis for a Pastor or Congregation governed church, or for anything else concerning a proper NT church government structure. Thanks! retxar |

227 | Where does Jesus say He is God? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 46358 | ||
Thanks Nolan! It was an easy question to answer by just using Jesus’s own words when He at various times un-mistakenly proclaimed Himself to be the self-existing, ever-existing, great I AM! However, I hesitated to answer anyway, since Jesus did not always give an answer to those who already had their mind made up. We are not obligated to answer those who are just out to shut us down and promote themselves, as seems to be the case here. Jesus showed us that by example in Mark 11:27-33. Jesus always answered true seekers tho, as He demonstrated in John 20:24-29 with Thomas. Hopefully I.U. will become a true seeker like Thomas, and Jesus can show them the truth and proof they are looking for and they can be set free! I hope and pray so! Jesus is Lord! retxar P.S. I like you new screen name! |

I would also endorse Jack Hayford's book, "The Beauty of Spiritual Language". I know of no better resourse that would give a more biblical view of speaking in tongues and how it applies to us today. retxar |

230 | Omega Code 2...? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 45637 | ||
Are you talking about Megiddo? If you are, I think the title was mispelled. If should have beed called MEGA-DODO, and in my opinion was just a scam to steal Christian family's money. retxar |

231 | Local churchs appoint their own elders? | NT general Archive 1 | retxar | 45631 | ||
Thanks Steve, You said in reason #2 that the local churches did not appoint their own elders. I agree. Do you think that should be the model for today's church also? Most local churches today do appoint their own elders. retxar |

232 | What is the proper NT church model? | Not Specified | retxar | 45575 | ||
There are 3 basic forms of church government that we see in churches today; congregational governed typical in Baptist and Pentecostal churches, church hierarchy (Bishop/Pastor) governed typical in Episcopalian and Calvary Chapel churches, and elder governed typical in Presbyterian and Reformed churches. I know of no clear cut New Testament command for God’s exact church government preference, but which form of church government is best supported by New Testament witness and example? Please back up your answers scripturally. Thanks! retxar |

234 | Could satan be saved? | John 16:11 | retxar | 39769 | ||
No. John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. John 3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Salvation is only available to those born of the flesh and born again of the Spitit. This would rule out any hope for fallen angels salvation, even if their genuine repentance was possible, as they are created beings and were not born. Jesus Saves! retxar |

235 | Where can I find a scripture to validate | Eph 5:2 | retxar | 38745 | ||
Rom 5:8-11 (NLT) Rom 5:8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. Rom 5:9 And since we have been made right in God's sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God's judgment. Rom 5:10 For since we were restored to friendship with God by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be delivered from eternal punishment by his life. Rom 5:11 So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God-all because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done for us in making us friends of God. retxar |

236 | Flow out of WHOSE innermost being? | John 7:38 | retxar | 33489 | ||
Based on the context, and also if we allow scripture to interpret scripture (John 4:14), the one from who's "innermost being will flow rivers of living water" is no doubt referring to one who believes (John 7:37). retxar |

238 | Explanation on 1 John 5:7-8 please? | 1 John | retxar | 29809 | ||
Hi Ray, That's an astute observation Ray! I was not aware that the 77 NASB read so much different here, until I checked out what you told me. I think the 95 probably has the correct reading, or I guess I should say has the proper text in the proper verse. God did not inspire John to put in the verse and chapter numbers anyway, so I guess it would be hard to prove either right or wrong! I would really like to defend the NKJV here, but I don't I could do it honestly. Even Jay P. Green's LITV (Literal Translation) and MKJV (Modern KJV) have 7b and 8a in italics, and he is a hard nosed RT man. The 95 NASB matches up with the WEB, which is a Majority Text translation. That in itself does not prove anything, but the MT usually agrees with the Received Text that the KJV and NKJV were translated from, but here it agrees with the Critical Text that the NASB was translated from. retxar |
