2405 | In Heaven will we know each other as now | 1 Cor 13:12 | stjohn | 184785 | ||
Hi boyceowenby; 1 Cor 13:12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. I hope this helps you. I think we can safely assume that "we" can be used in place of "I" in this verse. as Paul is trying to instill this truth into the Corinthians. Although I don't ever really like substituting any words in the Bible. So... then "we" will know just as "we" also have been fully known. I don't know if that answers your question fully. Maybe someone can help with more? God bless stj |

2406 | EXPLAIN MATTHEW 24 VS. 1-10 | Matt 24:1 | stjohn | 184781 | ||
Hi JCARTER; I would like to say, that there are toughs who would try to tech you something other then the truth of God's Word. Please listen to me, this is so very important for your spiritual growth and well being. Please pray, it is vital for you. And ask GOD, to reveal his truth to you. ask and He will, through The Holly Spirit He will make His Word real to your heart. There are toughs who will try to tell you that Jesus Has come already. And that the world will continue in the condition that it is in, and that GOD will just continue to harvest, if you will, His chosen out of the world. Please believe me. That is not the truth. Ask God to show you and he will. God has a much better plan then that. He will make a New Heaven, And a New Earth, just as the Word of God Promises. And Please, don't let Prophesy frighten you, God Promises to keep His Children from the wrath to come, AND HE WILL. And I pray that you are one of His. Here is some good advice and I say this with a humble heart. Please don't think that I'm condescending to you. If someone cant answer a question without making it complicated and hard to understand, take another look. FATHER GOD, open our hearts, and our eyes, and our minds, to the beautiful truth and wonder of your Holly Word. In Jesus name we pray, Any way we can help we will. I know that there are many here that can bless you with a better understanding of the Bible, but the main thing to do is Pray and ask God. God bless stj |

2408 | EXPLAIN MATTHEW 24 VS. 1-10 | Matt 24:1 | stjohn | 184755 | ||
Hi JCARTER; Notice in v,3 that the disciples are really asking our Lord more then one question. "Tell us, when will these things happen, (and) what will be the sign of Your coming, (and) of the end of the age?" The destruction of the temple is (part) of His prophesy. When we read on, we can see that our Lord is answering all there questions, such as, what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" Not just, when will be the destruction of the temple. v.21 "For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred "since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will." Now, granted, the destruction of the temple was a very terrible time, to say the least, but, sense then there have been many equally horrible events, such as in World war 2, the atom bomb for instance, Hitler's killing of the Jews, and lets not forget Noah's flood, and, we could mention many others, you can be sure. Notice our Lord says in v, 21 "tribulation, such as has not occurred (( SENCE THE BEGINNING )) of the world until now, (( NOR EVER WILL. )) AD 70 doesn't seam to fit the (whole) bill if you ask me. What do you think? It does answer one question, but not all. As we read the whole of chapter 24 we see that our Lord is giving us a preview, of what God is telling us in John's Revelation of Jesus Christ. I pray that helps you. May the Lord open our eye's and our hearts, to the truth of His Word. God bless stj |

2409 | Balaam: dilemma or disobedience? | Num 22:18 | stjohn | 184724 | ||
Hi kudos; That is a very good question: balaam; is one of the most perplexing, and, wondered about characters in the Bible. He has been called the prophet for profit. And some would say. Was he a prophet of God? After all; God did speak to, and through him. didn't He? But, as you said, God had told him not to curse them. So, why did he ask again? Notice what Balaam says in this verse..... "Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything, either small or great, contrary to the command of the LORD my God." Now that sounds very pious and good doesn't it, But ok, who brought up, "silver" or "gold"? Balaam did thats who. It was greed... Greed was the reason he asked again, and thats why God was angry with him. In many places in the Bible you will find that God will allow something though He does not approve it, as if He were saying, you have my answer, but if you insist go ahead. Sort of like a parent would do with a spoiled child, so they can learn the hard way. It looks to me like Balaam, was seeking some kind of reword, but God, of corse had other plans. Didn't He? When we read the whole story, it looks like maybe there where two asses prophesying that day. May God open our eyes to the wonder of His truth. God's peace stj |

2410 | Who are these 2 verses referring to? | 1 Pet 3:19 | stjohn | 184665 | ||
Hi Scott; 1 Peter 3:19, is referring to toughs who lived in the time of Noah that He preached salvation to, but of corse the people that lived in his day did not believe Noah or God, Noah being His profit was speaking for God. They did not believe God, Unbelief is a sin, so, they were disobedient. Therefor, when the flood came they perished, and it is there spirits that Peter is referring to. Jude; is referring to fallen angels. God bless stj |

2411 | The fruit and leaves of the tree of life | Gen 2:9 | stjohn | 184643 | ||
hello Jonp; Talking of Israel. "There is no suggestion anywhere that they reign ON the earth". These were your words! Now! May I make a suggestion? It appears that this is more then a SUGGESTION! THIS IS A PROMIS! Gen13:14 The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, "Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward; Gen 13:15 for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your descendants forever. And I Know. that forever according to you, probably does not mean forever, Nor does land mean land. i.e. "scripture according to Jonp"! God's peace stj |

2412 | The fruit and leaves of the tree of life | Gen 2:9 | stjohn | 184586 | ||
My prayer; First of all I would ask my brothers and sisters to please find it in there harts to forgive me. I know that as Christians you have the same love in your heart that I do so I also know that this will come easy. Some of you probably think that I’m a hot head, well, you’d certainly be right. But, if I may, let me plead my case. I am extremely passionate about the Bible, The Holly Word Of God. The Bible is alive, it reaches back in history and it spoke to the heart of man at his very beginning, and it was for him were he was at that time, it has traveled through time to the present, and it speaks to the heart of man were he is, and it is for him now. And, although the words have not changed, and, the message of salvation has not changed, we should not look at it as something that somehow some part of its message is not applicable for us because it was written in history, it is for us now, were we are, right now. And at some unimaginable time in the future, it will be for them, right were they are. It is the very heart and word of God almighty, the one who loves us. Every book, every chapter, every verse, every line, every dot, is important. Men throughout history have rewritten and retranslated it and I am confident, that God is saying to us just exactly what he wants us to hear. And I don’t give a hoot if someone says that in the original it didn’t have dots or vowels or whatever! It is for us right now as it is! I don’t care if someone says that at the time it was written that the book of the revelation of Jesus Christ doesn’t mean what it says because toughs’ poor uneducated people wouldn’t understand it, it is for us right now were we are in the 21st century. Now I don’t know about you but I’m glad to know when I look at the world and the sins of men, the hatred in the world, and the disregard for life. And although I know that it greaves our fathers heart, for His Word says that His will is that none should perish, I am glad to know that because He is a just God that He is going to judge this world, and I am sure, with tears in His Holly eyes, he is going to tear it down to it’s very foundation, and he is going to build a new earth, and a new heaven, just as His Word says. So, when someone takes a caviler attitude toward eschatology or any other part of the Word, It puts a bur under my saddle. I don’t happen to think that it’s ok. I don’t happen to think that this view or that view is ok. If God said it as far as I am concerned He means it. And when someone says that Ezekial is idealistic, well, that is what I hear the world calling Christians all the time. What, may I ask, is wrong with being idealistic? let me tell you the Bible is a lot easier for this poor sinner to understand if I just let "It" do the talking. So please be patient with me Jonp. And I hope you can understand me a little better. Peace stj |

And He was saying, "For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father." John 6:66 As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore. May I say that being a disciple does not mean that you are walking in the truth! Or with Christ. As pointed out in this verse. I am standing on the word my friend and I am quite comfortable! If your love is genuine then show it! Belittling your brothers is not the way. speaking truth in love. God bless stj |

Good grief!! Lets Keep it simple shale we. The word of God is not that complicated. when Jesus rejected Israel It was temporary. He then began to focus on building His Church. Which He is still doing today by the way. When He takes His Church Out of the world, via the rapture, He will then refocus on Israel during the Great Tribulation Represented by the 144,000 that are sealed to go through it. At that time He will set up His 1,000 year rain and after that comes eternity with God and all His children. Very simple really, and it does not take a so called scholar to drag what "he" thinks is the truth out of what God is saying. If you don't understand it, that is, why God is doing it that way, I don't know, It's His plan, He said it, not me. If you have a problem take it to God. God bless all. Peace stj |

Congratulations Doctor Pett! It seems Very clear to me, and I hope to others that have been following this thread, and, other threads that you have participated in, that you have once again made yourself and what I would consider your ridiculous teaching on eschatology the center of attention. Good job doctor! Very cunning indeed the way you say the important thing Is Jesus and the salvation he offers, but then you craftily keep the argument going by injecting words and phrases like "Absurdity" and "mythical hybrid kingdom" and things like "the apostles will be given amazing powers" (as if) God were not big enough to do again that which he has already done. After visiting your web site I find your commentary very much like your posts, long winded and vacuous of anything that truly edifies the body of Christ. So far my friend your words only seem to confuse and divide the body of Christ. May I say very frankly that this part of the body is sick of toughs words! An unending stream of disjointed gobbledegook! Garbage! You seem to take great pleasure in making others look stupid with your superior intellect and photogenic memory of scripture. To bad! You don't seem to have a Holly spirt led understanding of them! And really Doctor! Injecting national pride into the flow of your deception is a cheep trick! You could do so much more for God if you were not so inebriated by the felicitations of your own verbiage! May God richly bless you my friend stj |

Hi Jonp; Or should I say, Dr Peter Pett BA. BD (Hons - London) DD May I sugjest to You, if you are one and the same, and I strongly suspect that you are, that if you are looking for students in your liberal school of theology, that this perhaps is not the place to do so. Anyone interested can get all the information that they want on your secular philosophical liberal theology, at your web site. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/4027/And, All they need to do is Google (Dr Peter Pett BA. BD (Hons - London) DD and they can get a host of information. Realy Docktor! Is besness realy that slow? This is a forum. Not your classroom! God's peace stj |

2420 | why is Love greater than faith | 1 Cor 13:3 | stjohn | 184343 | ||
Hi Aminat: Good question; and beautifully answered Jonp, anything "I" could add would be in its shadow. So, if I may, I'd like to just reiterate what I think Paul is saying about faith in the list of gifts in which he is speaking here in 1 cor. He says that "faith" amoung and including that list, will fade away, but "love" will remain. I think what he is saying here, is that when we see Jesus face to face what purpos will there be for faith. part of what fiath is, is the blievief in that which we cannot see. So, I think he is saying when we see our Lord in heaven we wont need faith. Will we? And so, "Love" will remain forever, the flower of our faith. God's peace stj |
