241 | Believing in the Bible | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 64987 | ||
Greetings SalvoPete and welcome to the forum! The first thing that you need to do is get them to believe that the bible is real. They will not believe in what it says until they believe that it real. I use many different examples. One I use is the Dead Sea sScrolls. The Scrolls were found in caves near the Dead Sea that were identical to what the bible says now. Another is the bible code. In the bible a Isrealian mathematician has found different events encoded in the bible. For instance, the names of all the WWII leaders (Roosesvelt, Churchhill, and Stalin)have been found encoded in the bible in the same place along with all the major countries (Germany, England, France, Russia, Japan and the United States). The year, 1939, was also found with the above information. The possibility of man writing the bible is mathematically impossible. Many other events have also been found, including 9/11. There are so many other examples. I recommend the book "Signature of God" by Grant Jeffries. It will give you many more examples. Hope this helps. prayon |

245 | Egnatain Way? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 66147 | ||
Greetings Emmaus, Idon't think that that is what this is referring to. I have "Holman Bood of Biblical charts, Maps and Reconstructions" and on the maps of the missionary journeys of Paul it has a route mapped on it from the Adriatic Sea through Thessalonica, Apollonia, Philippi to Byzantium on the Black Sea. On the key to the map it labels it "Route of the Egnatain Way". This would have to be, I believe, around the time of Paul. St Ignatius was much later. prayon | ||||||
246 | Egnatain Way? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 66169 | ||
Greetings Emmaus, Thanks a lot for the info. I wonder why Holman's put the route on the maps of Pauls missionary trips which were done in the 1st century when the Egnatain Route was not built until the 2nd century? prayon | ||||||

254 | Which prophecies were fulfilled? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 70545 | ||
Greetings, In addition to what scriptures EdB told you I suggest that you go to Isaiah 52:13 and 53:12 as you will find many verses that were fulfilled by Christ. 52:14 speaks of His beating before He was crucified. 53:3 - He was despised and rejected, a man of suffering and aquited with infirmity. Chap 50:6 tells of His sufferings on the cross. These are just a few of many prophesies that were fulfilled. prayon |

255 | Is the devil a personification of my sin | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 72094 | ||
Greetings Torch81, Satan is very real. The bible is clear on this. This is what the Smith's Bible Dictionary has to say about Satan: The personal existence of a spirit of evil is clearly revealed in Scripture; but the revelation is made gradually. In the beginning Satan is referred only to the serpent. In Job we find for the first time a distinct mention of “Satan,” the “adversary” of Job. The NT brings plainly forward the power and the influence of Satan. From the beginning of the Gospel, when he appears as the personal tempter of our Lord, and throughout the NT, it is asserted or implied, again and again, as a familiar and important truth. Of the nature and original state of Satan, little is revealed in Scripture. He is spoken of as a “spirit” in Eph. 2:2, as the prince or ruler of the “demons” in Matt. 12:24-26, and as having “angels” subject to him in Matt. 25:41; Rev. 12:7, 9. The whole description of his power implies spiritual nature and influence. We conclude therefore that he was of angelic nature, a rational and spiritual creature, superhuman in power, wisdom and energy; an archangel, and one of the “princes” of heaven. We cannot conceive that anything essentially and originally evil was created by God. We can only conjecture that Satan is a fallen angel, who once had a time of probation, but whose condemnation is now irrevocably fixed. As to the details of his fall Scripture tells us scarcely anything; but it describes to us distinctly the moral nature of the evil one. The ideal of goodness is made up of the three great moral attributes of God—love, truth, and purity or holiness; combined with that spirit which is the natural temper of the finite and dependent creature, the spirit of faith. We find, accordingly, that the opposites of these qualities are dwelt upon as the characteristics of the devil. The power of Satan over the soul is represented as exercised either directly or by his instruments. His direct influence over the soul is simply that of a powerful and evil nature on those in whom lurks the germ of the same evil. Besides this direct influence, we learn from Scripture that Satan is the leader of a host of evil spirits or angels who share his evil work, and for whom the “everlasting fire is prepared.” Matt. 25:41. Of their origin and fall we know no more than of his. But one passage—Matt. 12:24-26—identifies them distinctly with the “demons” or “devils” who had power to possess the souls of men. They are mostly spoken of in Scripture in reference to possession; but in Eph. 6:12 they are described in various lights. We find them sharing the enmity to God and man implied in the name and nature of Satan; but their power and action are little dwelt upon in comparison with his. But the evil one is not merely the “prince of the demons”; he is called also the “prince of this world” in John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11, and even the “god of this world” in 2 Cor. 4:4; the two expressions being united in Eph. 6:12. This power he claimed for himself, as a delegated authority, in the temptation of our Lord, Luke 4:6; and the temptation would have been unreal had he spoken altogether falsely. The indirect action of Satan is best discerned by an examination of the title by which he is designated in Scripture. He is called emphatically oJ diavbolo", “the devil.” The derivation of the word in itself implies only the endeavor to break the bonds between others and “set them at variance”; but common usage adds to this general sense the special idea of “setting at variance by slander.” In the application of the title to Satan, both the general and special senses should be kept in view. His goal is to break the bonds of communion between God and man, and the bonds of truth and love which bind men to each other. The slander of God to man is best seen in the words of Gen. 3:4, 5. They attribute selfishness and jealousy to the Giver of all good. The slander of man to God is illustrated by the book of Job. Job 1:9-11; 2:4, 5. IV. The method of satanic action upon the heart itself. It may be summed up in two words—temptation and possession. The subject of temptation is illustrated, not only by abstract statements, but also by the record of the temptations of Adam and of our Lord. It is expressly laid down, as in James 1:2-4, that “temptation,” properly so called, i.e., “trial,” is essential to man, and is accordingly ordained for him and sent to him by God, as in Gen. 22:1. It is this tentability of man, even in his original nature, which is represented in Scripture as giving scope to the evil action of Satan. But in the temptation of a fallen nature Satan has a greater power. Every sin committed makes a man the “servant of sin” for the future, John 8:34; Rom. 6:16; it therefore creates in the spirit of man a positive tendency to evil, which sympathizes with, and aids, the temptation of the evil one. prayon |

Greetings Bunty, The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift to us from Jesus. To get the gift of the Holy Spirit all you have to do is ask for it and believe that you then have it. It is a done deal.If you want evidence then according to Acts speaking in tongues follows the baptism of the Holy Spirit. prayon |
