I'm not serious. the verse says 7I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, and that is where golf is played on a course. isn't it. We must be careful how we look at the words in scripture. Always using the meanings of the time not present day meanings. | ||||||

Back at you. Look at Luke 4:22 to find out Jesus' last name. Must use the King James. Also Paul was a golfer. 2 Timothy 4:7 again KJV. Peace of God to you and yours Jeff | ||||||

Humor is acceptable. If offense is taken then I'd better look inside and find out why. Did you know that Rebekah of Genesis smoked cigarettes? Gen. 24:64 (KJV) 64And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. I beleive Jesus had a hearty laugh. He was not the picture of seriousness seen in so many of the Jesus movies. Thank you for your kind words. God uses the foolish to accomplish His ends. There was no bigger fool than me. As John Wimber said, "I'm a fool for Jesus! Whose fool are you!" yours in Christ Jeff Asis |

No Jesus is the only way. They were chosen to be the lineage that the Messiah would come from. They were to be God's representatives on earth. But it is impossible to be God's representative through your own power. We needed Jesus. | ||||||

I too am a Messianic Jew and agree there is only one way. That is Jesus. There is a movement of God in Israel among the youth that is very encouraging. | ||||||
251 | Why is (was) it good to be a Jew? | Eph 2:12 | Asis | 82903 | ||
Dan58 How ya doin Paul is talking to gentiles (those who do not believe in Jehovah) in this verse. Of course since he is writing them they now believe in Jehovah but they didn't before they met Paul. Confused? Let me put it this way. God sent His Son to redeem (pay the price) for the world. To the Jew first then to the non Jew (this you know). Paul is talking to non Jews who have embraced Jesus, the Messiah, and Jehovah, His Father. Barnes makes this clear in the begining of his commentary on Eph. 2:12. Title: Barnes’ Notes on the New Testament Author: Barnes, Albert "Ye were without Christ—You were without the knowledge of the Messiah. You had not heard of him; of course you had not embraced him. You were living without any of the hopes and consolations which you now have, from having embraced him. The object of the apostle is to remind them of the deplorable condition in which they were by nature; and nothing would better express it than to say they were “without Christ,” or that they had no knowledge of a Saviour. They knew of no atonement for sin. They had no assurance of pardon. They had no well-founded hope of eternal life. They were in a state of darkness and condemnation, from which nothing but a knowledge of Christ could deliver them." Remember "Christ" is Greek for the Hebrew "Messiah". Jesus was born a Jew. I count it of great worth (things look a bit different to me than they do to you) to be a member of those whose lineage Jesus came from, a direct decendent of Abraham. Is there something special about being a Jew? Not in the eyes of God. There is neither Jew nor gentile . . .Holy Bible, New Living Translation Gal. 3:28 (NLT) 28There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male or female. For you are all Christians—you are one in Christ Jesus. Yet it through the Jew that the scriptures were given to us. Holy Bible, New Living Translation Rom. 3:1 through Rom. 3:2 (NLT) 1Then what’s the advantage of being a Jew? Is there any value in the Jewish ceremony of circumcision? 2Yes, being a Jew has many advantages. First of all, the Jews were entrusted with the whole revelation of God. The Jew who is one inwardly is one who believes in the Messiah. Because He believes God. Holy Bible, New Living Translation Rom. 2:28 through Rom. 2:29 (NLT) 28For you are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the Jewish ceremony of circumcision. 29No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true circumcision is not a cutting of the body but a change of heart produced by God’s Spirit. Whoever has that kind of change seeks praise from God, not from people. In the days if the first church all the believers in the Way were Jewish. God is bringing His people, all the people, back to Him through His Son, Jesus. That is what is really important. We are all the same Jew, non-Jew, Greek, Barbarian, male, female, slave, free everybody the same to God. We should look at each other the same way God looks at us. The same. His sons and daughters all of us. |

If you believe you already have Him dwelling in you. He is the One who dwells in your heart when you ask Jesus to come in. You have become the sanctuary, temple of the Holy spirit. the Bible says: Holy Bible, New Living Translation 1 Cor. 6:19 through 1 Cor. 6:20 (NLT) 19Or don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 20for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. So young one YOU GOT HIM. He dwells in YOU. PRAISE GOD. |

We are saying the same thing. I beleive that it is God speaking through you when you preach under the unction of the Holy Spirit. Not you but Him. You have given over your "self" died to self and only He remains. His power and might. All youv'e done is open your mouth (and done alot of studying). You said "But, there are many who believe that Scripture is not the absolute authority in faith and practice, and that God will still give people today a 'new' revelation which can 'replace' or 'add to' the Bible." Isn't what they are really saying is "here is a new interprtation of scripture, an addition to what man has said it means before". Not new scripture, "Add this to the Book God Has Spoken." Who's saying that? Are you saying that God has not revealed a meaning of His word to you, personally. He has never opened up a scripture to you that has been confirmed by two or three witnesses? This is not a new scripture nor does it replace scripture but new Light like Luther got. He wasn't an apostle of old and God gave him (my words) revelation about "saved by faith." It became the crux of what we beleive. Now I'm not asking if God has revealed to you something as great as he did Luther, but all is the same in His eyes. Hasn't He opened scripture to you so you are the one writing the commentary using the words He gave you. Isn't that preaching. Aren't we actually expounding on our expiriences with Jesus as He renews our minds and perfects us into His image by being in Christ. I guess I'm not understanding. Only that which has been expounded on in the past is correct and only that which can be seen with the eye is to be relyed on? This is not my expirience. sun shining 60 degrees here. In Christ Jeff |

I would advise you to get a bible like the New International Version (NIV) or the New living Transtationand read the New Testament. These are plain english versions especially the New Living Translation. Just read it. Ask the Holy Spirit to instruct you as you read. Ask Him to explain if you don't understand. Don't get hung up if you still don't understand just keep reading and you will. God Bless | ||||||

Good morning Tim I hope this day is as pleasant where you are as it is here. You said, "However, what I preach is not inspired in the sames sense or to the same degree as something that the authors of the Bible wrote. Their words were infalliable, mine are not." If you are speaking as you said, "an inspired message," is not the same Holy Spirit speaking to your congregation that spoke through the writers? Scripture says, "all scripture is inspired", now I'm not saying that what you preach is scripture (take this the right way). However, is not just as inspired as the writers, when you preach under the unction of the Holy Spirit. God has given us all the instruction He choses until the return of our Lord. The Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit could not go against God's word any more than God could or Jesus could. God is no respecter of persons, so are the writers more inspired than us, when we are speaking under the power of the Holy Spirit? Paul said over and over that he came not in his power but by the power of God (the Holy Spirit). Haven't we received the same Spirit, the Spirit with the power that raised Christ from the dead. Doesn't He reside in us. If so for what purpose? To use us to continue the work of Jesus on the earth or to keep us company when we pray. Isn't He the way Jesus abides in us? Aren't there times when your preaching is so powerful that the only explaination is, it must have been the Holy Spirit talking through you. No way could I, we, ever have had that effect on the people. I think that God gave us His word so we would be able to tell when He is speaking to us and through us. It is not the ultimate. Jesus is. My sheep will know my voice. When I know He has spoken to me It will be by the fruit that others will know that I have been with Jesus. I KNOW. At least I'm getting better at recognizing His voice. And sometimes I might think it was Him and it was really my soul talking and I will make an error then the Holy Spirit will convict and I will repent and I will make right what was spoken. I will learn the difference in the voices. but when He speaks to me I know it is Him. Look at hoe the Lord taught the disciples. has he changed His method? I digress. We cannot separate God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and God's written word. The are kinda like the checks and balanaces we have in our government. Only these are working to the same end. They NEVER contradict one another. By the way do you study the Greek? In Christ Jeff |

If you believe in your heart and have confessed with your mouth that Jesus is your Lord and that God raised Him from the grave, you are saved (Romans 10:9). If He is the Lord of your heart you will have compassion for the poor, the prisoners, those who are without. If you act on this compassion it will be as if you are doing it for Jesus. If in your heart you truly do not want to hear Him say Matt. 7:21 through Matt. 7:23 (NIV) 21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I NEVER KNEW YOU. AWAY FROM ME, YOU EVILDOERS!’(CAPS are mine for emphisis) We must establish a relationship with Jesus. A personal relationship. Talk to Him. Read about Him. And most of all do what He says to our heart. If our citizenship is in heaven that is where we must go when we are no longer citizens of the earth. Phil. 3:20 through Phil. 3:21 (NIV) 20But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. Colossians 1:4-6 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints—the faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth, the gospel that has come to you. How can we receive it if we do not go there to get it. He will one day return and all that is in heaven for us who are here on that day will receive what He has promised. This is our hope. The fact that you are concerned shows your heart is right towards our Savior. Go after Him, talk to Him, Love Him with all your heart and He will give you peace. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6). |

Does this help? Title: Barnes’ Notes on the New Testament Author: Barnes, Albert TITUS 2:3 The aged women likewise—Not only those who may have the office of deaconesses, but all aged females. That they be in behaviour as becometh holiness—Marg, “holy women.” The Greek word is not found elsewhere in the New Testament. It means appropriate to a sacred place or person, or becoming to religion. Their conduct should be such as the gospel requires. Not false accusers——Margin, “make-bates.” Greek, —the word commonly applied to the devil—“as the accuser.” See it explained in the notes at 1 Tim. 3:11, where it is rendered slanderers. Not given to much wine—Notes, 1 Tim. 3. Teachers of good things—That is instructing the younger—whether their own children, or whether they sustain the office of deaconness, and are appointed to give instruction to younger females; compare the notes at 1 Tim. 5:2-6. Title: Barnes’ Notes on the New Testament Author: Barnes, Albert Not slanderers—compare Titus 2:3, “Not false accusers.” The Greek word is —“devils.” It is used here in its original and proper sense, to denote a “calumniator,” “slanderer,” or “accuser.” It occurs in the same sense in 2 Tim. 3:3, and Titus 2:3. Elsewhere in the New Testament, it is uniformly rendered “devil” (compare notes, Matt. 4:1), and is given to Satan, the prince of the fallen angels Matt. 9:34, by way of eminence, as “the accuser;” compare Job 1:6-11 notes, and Rev. 12:10 note. Here it means that they should not be women who were in the habit of calumniating others, or aspersing their character. Mingling as they would with the church, and having an opportunity to claim acquaintance with many, it would be in their power, if they chose, to do great injury to the character of others. Title: Barnes’ Notes on the New Testament Author: Barnes, Albert 1 TIMOTHY 5:2 The elder women as mothers—Showing still the same respect for age, and for the proprieties of life. No son who had proper feelings would rebuke his own mother with severity. Let the minister of religion evince the same feelings if he is called to address a “mother in Israel” who has erred. The younger as sisters—With the feelings which you have toward a sister. The tender love which one has for a beloved sister would always keep him from using harsh and severe language. The same mildness, gentleness, and affection should be used toward a sister in the church. With all purity—Nothing could be more characteristic of Paul’s manner than this injunction; nothing could show a deeper acquaintance with human nature. He knew the danger which would beset a youthful minister of the gospel when it was his duty to admonish and entreat a youthful female; he knew, too, the scandal to which he might be exposed if, in the performance of the necessary duties of his office, there should be the slightest departure from purity and propriety. He was therefore to guard his heart with more than common vigilance in such circumstances, and was to indulge in no word, or look, or action, which could by any possibility be construed as manifesting an improper state of feeling. On nothing else do the fair character and usefulness of a youthful minister more depend, than on the observance of this precept. Nowhere else does he more need the grace of the Lord Jesus, and the exercise of prudence, and the manifestation of incorruptible integrity, than in the performance of this duty. A youthful minister who fails here, can never recover the perfect purity of an unsullied reputation, and never in subsequent life be wholly free from suspicion; compare notes, Matt. 5:28. This may help as a start. |

I was asking if ". . . when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, . . ." happens today. I know and agree that God has written all He wants to. We (all who believe) now have God, the Holy Spirit within us to speak into our lives. He doesn't have to write any more. The question is does God speak through men today. Do you preach or your Pastor preach the Word of God and is it accepted as the Word of God not the pastor's words (this includes all he says in his message, the scripture and the explanation and application). More susinctly is God still talking through us by the power of the Holy Spirit? | ||||||
