Yes, based on our belief in Jesus who is our judge. John 3:17 For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him. John 3:18 He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation--he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ's name.] John 5:24 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the person whose ears are open to My words [who listens to My message] and believes and trusts in and clings to and relies on Him Who sent Me has (possesses now) eternal life. And he does not come into judgment [does not incur sentence of judgment, will not come under condemnation], but he has already passed over out of death into life. John 5:25 Believe Me when I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the time is coming and is here now when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear it shall live. John 5:26 For even as the Father has life in Himself and is self-existent, so He has given to the Son to have life in Himself and be self-existent. John 5:27 And He has given Him authority and granted Him power to execute (exercise, practice) judgment because He is a Son of man [very man]. John 5:28 Do not be surprised and wonder at this, for the time is coming when all those who are in the tombs shall hear His voice, John 5:29 And they shall come out--those who have practiced doing good [will come out] to the resurrection of [new] life, and those who have done evil will be raised for judgment [raised to meet their sentence]. [Dan. 12:2.] John 5:30 I am able to do nothing from Myself [independently, of My own accord--but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders]. Even as I hear, I judge [I decide as I am bidden to decide. As the voice comes to Me, so I give a decision], and My judgment is right (just, righteous), because I do not seek or consult My own will [I have no desire to do what is pleasing to Myself, My own aim, My own purpose] but only the will and pleasure of the Father Who sent Me. |

JdthCstl, why do you present falsehood on a Bible Study website where anyone can do a word study that prooves falshood. you say "What went on inside the tabernacle no one knows " while Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy tell us what went on in the tabernacle. Please read Hebrews 10. |

263 | God IS love, what IS love? | 2 Pet 3:1 | meusing | 42264 | ||
That is what the Scriptures are: God's revelation of Himself to us. Specifically, His plan of redemption. Isa 38:17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back. Rom 5:1 THEREFORE, SINCE we are justified (acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God) through faith, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). Rom 5:2 Through Him also we have [our] access (entrance, introduction) by faith into this grace (state of God's favor) in which we [firmly and safely] stand. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God. So, if we want to know what love is, we should study the Bible to find out what God says. Jer 31:3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Ro 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Rom 8:37 Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us. Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, Rom 8:39 Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. |

265 | 1 Cor 13, the love of God. | 2 Pet 3:1 | meusing | 42214 | ||
1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is (springs) from God; and he who loves [his fellowmen] is begotten (born) of God and is coming [progressively] to know and understand God [to perceive and recognize and get a better and clearer knowledge of Him]. 1 John 4:8 He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love. 1 John 4:9 In this the love of God was made manifest (displayed) where we are concerned: in that God sent His Son, the only begotten or unique [Son], into the world so that we might live through Him. 1 John 4:10 In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins. 1 John 4:11 Beloved, if God loved us so [very much], we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4:12 No man has at any time [yet] seen God. But if we love one another, God abides (lives and remains) in us and His love (that love which is essentially His) is brought to completion (to its full maturity, runs its full course, is perfected) in us! 1 John 4:13 By this we come to know (perceive, recognize, and understand) that we abide (live and remain) in Him and He in us: because He has given (imparted) to us of His [Holy] Spirit. 1 John 4:14 And [besides] we ourselves have seen (have deliberately and steadfastly contemplated) and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son [as the] Savior of the world. 1 John 4:15 Anyone who confesses (acknowledges, owns) that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides (lives, makes His home) in him and he [abides, lives, makes his home] in God. 1 John 4:16 And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love God cherishes for us. God is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him. 1 John 4:17 In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love's complete perfection]. 1 John 4:19 We love Him, because He first loved us. |

268 | Predestination | Eph 1:4 | meusing | 41709 | ||
We do not know who God has or has not chosen. It is not up to us to decide. All we can say is that before we were Christians we heard the Word "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved." we believed. then we found out that we were forknown and predestined to be conformed to the image of Christ. Even John Calvin taught : As the ministers of the Gospel, and those who are called to the office of teaching, cannot distinguish between the children of God and swine, it is their duty to present the doctrine of salvation indiscriminately to all. Though many may appear to them, at first, to be hardened and unyielding, yet charity forbids that such persons should be immediately pronounced to be desperate. |

Matthew shows the facts about John's beheading. To call his death premature is to pre-judge the facts. But it does show the rection of some people to the truth. that is why Jesus warned his disciples not to give pearls to swine, or they would turn and rend them. |

270 | Was Jesus Christ the God of the Old Test | 1 Cor 10:4 | meusing | 41698 | ||
The LORD God explained why He chose the children of Israel. Deut 7:6 For you are a holy and set-apart people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a special people to Himself out of all the peoples on the face of the earth. Deut 7:7 The Lord did not set His love upon you and choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the fewest of all people. Deut 7:8 But because the Lord loves you and because He would keep the oath which He had sworn to your fathers, the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Deut 7:9 Know, recognize, and understand therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, Who keeps covenant and steadfast love and mercy with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations, Deut 7:10 And repays those who hate Him to their face, by destroying them; He will not be slack to him who hates Him, but will requite him to his face. |

271 | Two Creation Stories? | Gen 1:1 | meusing | 41688 | ||
There are many books writen to try to show that God does not exist,and that because he does not exist He did not inspire Moses to write Genesis. What you fail to mention is that from verse 4 on that it is the LORD God (Jehovah Elohim) that is mentioned. It was God (impersonal) that created the world. Now Moses introduces the fact that God is not just impersonal but He is Jehovah Elohim (personal) in his history of the world and God's relationship with man. I think J.N. Darby expreses it better that I can... (please excuse any spelling mistakes) "In chapter ii we have man's relationship with God, and his own portion as such. Hence the LORD God is introduced: not merely God as Creator, but God in relationship with those He has created. NOTE -- that is Jehovah Elohim, a personal name as well as Godhead. It was important too that Israel should know that their God was the original creator of all. Still it is only used when special ways and connection with man is introduced. THE DISTICTION OF JEHOVISTIC AND ELHISTIC DOCUMENTS IS THE MEREST CHILD'S PLAY, AND FLOWS FROM ENTIRE IGNORANCE OF THE WAYS AND MIND OF GOD. There is always a reason for on or the other. Elohim is simply God; Jehovah is the acting governing person in time, though self-existing, who abides ever the same and having to do with others, who is, and was, and is to come." J.N.D. Synopsis of the Book of Genesis. p.12 |

I am not sure I am saying this right, but here goes ... Just as we in 3 dimentions can see the beginning and ending of a line (2D) and every point (1D) along it, so God can see the beginning and the end, and every choice we make at one glance as it were. That is not to say that every move we make is fixed, but that God can see the full quantum possibilies of every action. Imagine a being of over a thousand dimentions, and then multiply that by another million and we won't begin to know the immensity of God. All we Know is what He has told us. John 20:31 But these are written (recorded) in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of God, and that through believing and cleaving to and trusting and relying upon Him you may have life through (in) His name [through Who He is].

Hi, if I may, my wife and I have often been under attack with doubts about our salvation. I know the Bible says: "I know whom I have beleved and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day." 2 Tim. 1:12 I do not have to be busy trying to keep my salvation for it is in His hands. I like the old hymn that goes: From whence this fear and unbelief, If God, my Father, put to grief His spotless Son for me? Can He, the righteous Judge of men, Comdemn me for that debt of sin Which, Lord, was charged to Thee? Complete atonementThou hast made, And to the utmost farthing paid Whate'er Thy people owed ; How, then can wrath on me take place, If sheltered in God's righteousness And sprinkled by Thy blood ? If Thou hast my discharge procured, And freely in my place endured The whole of wrath divine ; Payment God will not twice demand, First at my bleeding Surety's hand, And then again at mine. --- PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME --- Turn, then, my soul, unto thy rest; The merits of thy great High Priest Speak peace and libery ; Trust in His efficacious blood, Nor fear thy banishment from God, Since Jesus died for thee. Kept in Christ's love |

276 | Is my sin any less ugly ? | Matt 7:6 | meusing | 41316 | ||
I agree with you. Like the old SS song 'Who Killed Jesus?' says in the last verse and final chorus : "When I think of Jesus And the Way he died, How upon Him All my sins were laid, All the other people Fade away from view. It's for me the sacrifice was paid. I no longer wonder any more. I have found what I've been looking for. My sin demanded Hell. On Him the Judgement fell. I am guilty, It is plaind to see, That it was really me. However, that is not the point of the discussion. There are people to whome the gospel is a thing of loathing and hatered. Remember, right after John 3:16-17 He said (Amplified) John 3:19 The [basis of the] judgment (indictment, the test by which men are judged, the ground for the sentence) lies in this: the Light has come into the world, and people have loved the darkness rather than and more than the Light, for their works (deeds) were evil. [Isa. 5:20.] John 3:20 For every wrongdoer hates (loathes, detests) the Light, and will not come out into the Light but shrinks from it, lest his works (his deeds, his activities, his conduct) be exposed and reproved. Election does not enter into what Calvin was talking about ... "those who, by clear evidences, have manifested a hardened contempt of God" Paul wrote to Timothy " 2 Tim 4:14 Alexander the coppersmith did me great wrongs. The Lord will pay him back for his actions. 2 Tim 4:15 Beware of him yourself, for he opposed and resisted our message very strongly and exceedingly. I think for one to be judged 'swine' by Calvin's doctrine as you say one who, as the writer to the hebrews says " Heb 10:29 How much worse (sterner and heavier) punishment do you suppose he will be judged to deserve who has spurned and [thus] trampled underfoot the Son of God, and who has considered the covenant blood by which he was consecrated common and unhallowed, thus profaning it and insulting and outraging the [Holy] Spirit [Who imparts] grace (the unmerited favor and blessing of God)? [Exod. 24:8.] |

277 | Different Claims On Joseph's Father | Rom 1:3 | meusing | 40994 | ||
Actualy the word Luke uses could be also translated son-in-law. A. T. Robertson in his Word Pictures of the Greek New Testament said : The two genealogies differ very widely and many theories have been proposed about them. At once one notices that Luke begins with Jesus and goes back to Adam, the Son of God, while Matthew begins with Abraham and comes to "Joseph the husband of Mary of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ" (#Mt 1:16). Matthew employs the word "begot" each time, while Luke has the article tou repeating huiou (Son) except before Joseph. They agree in the mention of Joseph, but Matthew says that "Jacob begat Joseph" while Luke calls "Joseph the son of Heli." There are other differences, but this one makes one pause. Joseph, of course, did not have two fathers. If we understand Luke to be giving the real genealogy of Jesus through Mary, the matter is simple enough. The two genealogies differ from Joseph to David except in the cases of Zorobabel and Salathiel. Luke evidently means to suggest something unusual in his genealogy by the use of the phrase "as was supposed" (hws enomizeto). His own narrative in #Lu 1:26-38 has shown that Joseph was not the actual father of Jesus. Plummer objects that, if Luke is giving the genealogy of Jesus through Mary, huios must be used in two senses here (son as was supposed of Joseph, and grandson through Mary of Heli). But that is not an unheard of thing. In neither list does Matthew or Luke give a complete genealogy. Just as Matthew uses "begat" for descent, so does Luke employ "son" in the same way for descendant. It was natural for Matthew, writing for Jews, to give the legal genealogy through Joseph, though he took pains to show in #Mt 1:16,18-25 that Joseph was not the actual father of Jesus. It was equally natural for Luke, a Greek himself and writing for the whole world, to give the actual genealogy of Jesus through Mary. Adam Clarke wrote : That St. Luke does not always speak of sons properly such, is evident from the first and last person which he names: Jesus Christ was only the supposed son of Joseph, because Joseph was the husband of his mother Mary: and Adam, who is said to be the son of God, was such only by creation. After this observation it is next necessary to consider, that, in the genealogy described by St. Luke, there are two sons improperly such: i.e. two sons-in-law, instead of two sons. As the Hebrews never permitted women to enter into their genealogical tables, whenever a family happened to end with a daughter, instead of naming her in the genealogy, they inserted her husband, as the son of him who was, in reality, but his father-in-law. This import, bishop Pearce has fully shown, nomizesqai bears, in a variety of places-Jesus was considered according to law, or allowed custom, to be the son of Joseph, as he was of Heli. The two sons-in-law who are to be noticed in this genealogy are Joseph the son-in-law of Heli, whose own father was Jacob, #Matt 1.16 ; and Salathiel, the son-in-law of Neri, whose own father was Jechonias: #1Chron 3.17 , and #Matthew 1.12 . |

The Father means 'Father' Jesus is God (John 1:1) He is the life giver and EQUAL to God (the Father). He chose to submit Himself under the Father's authority. Phil 2:6 Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained, Phil 2:7 But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being. Phil 2:8 And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross! Phil 2:9 Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, Phil 2:10 That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, Phil 2:11 And every tongue [frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. |

Hunn?? what do you mean Rev 11:8 was back in Moses time? Rev. 11 it about the two wittnesses in Jesursalem "which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt". Rom 5:14 is the continuation of Paul's thought in verse 13 Rom 5:13 [To be sure] sin was in the world before ever the Law was given, but sin is not charged to men's account where there is no law [to transgress]. Rom 5:14 Yet death held sway from Adam to Moses [the Lawgiver], even over those who did not themselves transgress [a positive command] as Adam did. Adam was a type (prefigure) of the One Who was to come [in reverse, the former destructive, the Latter saving]. [Gen. 5:5; 7:22; Deut. 34:5.] |

280 | Does someone have an answer? | Luke 22:36 | meusing | 40816 | ||
Adam Clarke said : Verse 36. He that hath no sword... Bishop PEARCE supposes that the word macairan, sword, has been inserted here from what is said in ver. 38, as it is evident our Lord never intended to make any resistance, or to suffer a sword to be used on the occasion; see #Matt 26.52 . The word stands rather oddly in the passage: the verse, translated in the order in which it stands, is as follows: And he who hath none, let him sell his garment and buy-a sword. Now it is plain that the verb pwlhsatw, let him buy, may be referred to phran a scrip, in the former part of the verse: therefore if, according to the bishop's opinion, the word sword be omitted, the passage may be understood thus: "When I sent you out before, #10.1 , etc., I intended you to continue itinerants only for a few days, and to preach the Gospel only to your country-men; therefore you had but little need of a staff, purse, or scrip, as your journey was neither long, nor expensive; but now I am about to send you into all the world, to preach the Gospel to every creature; and, as ye shall be generally hated and persecuted for my sake, ye shall have need to make every prudent provision for your journey; and so necessary will it be for you to provide yourselves victuals, etc., for your passage through your inhospitable country, that, if any of you have no scrip or wallet, he should sell even his upper garment to provide one." Others, who are for retaining the word sword, think that it was a proverbial expression, intimating a time of great difficulty and danger, and that now the disciples had need to look to themselves, for his murderers were at hand. The reader will observe that these words were spoken to the disciples just before he went to the garden of Gethsemane, and that the danger was now so very near that there could be no time for any of them to go and sell his garment in order to purchase a sword to defend himself and his Master from the attack of the Jewish mob. Judea was at this time, as we have already noticed, much infested by robbers: while our Lord was with his disciples, they were perfectly safe, being shielded by his miraculous power. Shortly they must go into every part of the land, and will need weapons to defend themselves against wild beasts, and to intimidate wicked men, who, if they found them totally defenceless, would not hesitate to make them their prey, or take away their life. However the matter may be understood, we may rest satisfied that these swords were neither to be considered as offensive weapons, nor instruments to propagate the truth. The genius and spirit of the Christian religion is equally against both. Perhaps, in this counsel of our Lord, he refers to the contention about supremacy: as if he had said, Instead of contending among yourselves about who shall be the greatest, ye have more need to unite yourselves against the common enemy, who are now at hand: this counsel was calculated to show them the necessity of union among themselves, as their enemies were both numerous and powerful. |
