281 | Who is "the disciple whom Jesus loved"? | John 21:20 | Radioman2 | 81987 | ||
jswife: NASB John 21:20 Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had leaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?" Basically, there are three steps involved in Bible study. We must ask: 1) What does the passage SAY? 2) What does it MEAN? 3) How can I apply this in my life? We know what the Bible means by what it says. We need to be careful that we don't get carried away when we start spiritualizing the narrative portions of the Bible. In the immediate context of John 21:20, "the disciple whom Jesus loved" means John and only John. If it referred to "all Christians", then the verse would mean that: All Christians leaned back on His bosom at the supper. Of course, no such thing happened. As far as we can determine from the biblical account, there were no more than 13 people present at the last supper. All Christians of all ages were not even there. My point? When the plain sense makes good sense, seek no other sense lest it be nonsense. Grace and peace, Radioman2 |

282 | Why Jews are always persecuted? | Ex 22:21 | Radioman2 | 81984 | ||
blinkie8: Why are the Jews always the ones to be persecuted? Basically, it is because true adherents to Judaism have always stood for righteousness. The world hates righteousness. Therefore, the world has throughout history persecuted Jewish people. The user Acts 22 has given an excellent, accurate answer to your question. He is to be commended. Grace and peace, Radioman2 |

284 | Did Jesus die on Wednesday or Friday? | NT general Archive 1 | Radioman2 | 81882 | ||
"If Christ was crucified on a Friday, and His resurrection occurred on the first day of the week, by Hebrew reckoning this would qualify as 3 days and 3 nights." "ALL SORTS OF ELABORATE SCHEMES HAVE BEEN DEVISED TO SUGGEST THAT CHRIST MIGHT HAVE DIED ON A WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY" - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Three days and three nights. (Matt 12:40) This phrase does not necessarily require that 72 hours elapse between Christ's death and resurrection, for the Jews reckoned part of a day to be as a whole day. Thus this prophecy can be properly fulfilled if the crucifixion occurred on Friday." (Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1976, 1978) "'Three days and three nights' was an emphatic way of saying "three days," and by Jewish reckoning this would be an apt way of expressing a period of time that includes parts of 3 days. Thus, if Christ was crucified on a Friday, and His resurrection occurred on the first day of the week, by Hebrew reckoning this would qualify as 3 days and 3 nights. "ALL SORTS OF ELABORATE SCHEMES HAVE BEEN DEVISED TO SUGGEST THAT CHRIST MIGHT HAVE DIED ON A WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY, just to accommodate the extreme literal meaning of these words. But the original meaning would not have required that sort of wooden interpretation (emphasis added)" (MacArthur Study Bible, p. 1415, Word Publishing, 1997). |

absent from the body...at home with the Lord Here is the answer in one sentence: The Jehovah's Witnesses are incorrect. '"We are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord," (2 Cor. 5:8). I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third heaven," (2 Cor. 12:2).' 'The Bible teaches us that we have an existence away from our bodies once we die. The Jehovah's Witnesses are incorrect. We continue on after death." (www.carm.org/jw/annihilation.htm) |

These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. [14] For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. [15] If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. [16] But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

'Branham prophesied that by 1977...the Rapture would take place, and that the world would be destroyed.' tjkathiresan: Question: You asked: "Can u show me one prophecy that is failed that was spoken by William Branham. "if not u have to accept him as a prophet and his message" Answer: Yes, I can show you not one, but three prophecies of Branham that have failed. Therefore, we do NOT have to accept him as a prophet. "Branham proclaimed himself the angel of Revelation 3:14 and 10:7 and prophesied that by 1977 all denominations would be consumed by the World Council of Churches under the control of the Roman Catholics, that the Rapture would take place, and that the world would be destroyed. He died in 1965, but many of his followers expected him to be resurrected, some believing him to be God, others believing him to be virgin-born."

In it he went and preached to the spirits in prison,[33] 1 Peter 3:19 New English Translation 33 study note. 'And preached to the spirits in prison. The meaning of this preaching and the spirits to whom he preached are much debated. It is commonly understood to be: '(1) Christ's announcement of his victory over evil to the fallen angels who await judgment for their role in leading the Noahic generation into sin; this proclamation occurred sometime between Christ's death and ascension; or '(2) Christ's preaching of repentance through Noah to the unrighteous humans, now dead and confined in hell, who lived in the days of Noah. 'The latter (2) is preferred because of the temporal indications in v. 20a and the wider argument of the book. These verses encourage Christians to stand for righteousness and try to influence their contemporaries for the gospel in spite of the suffering that may come to them. All who identify with them and their Savior will be saved from the coming judgment, just as in Noah's day.' (www.netbible.com) |

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. 1 Peter 3:18-20 (ESV) NASB 1 Peter 3:19 in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, AMPLIFIED 1 Peter 3:19 In which He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 'This means that Christ preached by the Holy Spirit through Noah to unsaved people in O.T. times (compare 1 Peter 1:10-11), their spirits being now in prison. The theory that the Lord Jesus, after His crucifixion, preached to the unsaved dead in hades and gave them a second chance is not found in Scripture' (New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967). 'Most likely this is a reference to the preincarnate Christ preaching through Noah to those who, because they rejected that message, are now spirits in prison" (Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1976, 1978). |

296 | What did Jesus mean in John 5:24? | John 5:24 | Radioman2 | 81625 | ||
"Our salvation is not verified by a past moment." A time of decision doesn't necessarily prove or disprove the existence of saving faith. Regarding John 5:24 you ask: "Is he teaching that a Christian should be able to look back to a time when they passed from death unto life?" 'A Time of Decision 'So often people say things like: "Well, I know I'm a Christian, because I remember when I signed the card," or "I remember when I prayed a prayer," or "I remember when I walked the aisle" or "went forward in church." A person may remember exactly when it happened and where they were when "it" happened, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Our salvation is not verified by a past moment. Many people have prayed prayers, gone forward in church services, signed cards, gone into prayer rooms, BEEN BAPTIZED, and joined churches without ever experiencing genuine saving faith.'

297 | Not begotten? | John 5:24 | Radioman2 | 81624 | ||
[9] No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. [10] By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother. 1 John 3:9-10 (ESV) - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1 John 3:6-10 (Amplified) 6 No one who abides in Him [who lives and remains in communion with and in obedience to Him—deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] commits (practices) sin. No one who [habitually] sins has either seen or known Him [recognized, perceived, or understood Him, or has had an experiential acquaintance with Him]. 7 Boys (lads), let no one deceive and lead you astray. He who practices righteousness [who is upright, conforming to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action, living a consistently conscientious life] is righteous, even as He is righteous. 8 [But] he who commits sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil [takes his character from the evil one], for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done]. 9 No one born (begotten) of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, for God’s nature abides in him [His principle of life, the divine sperm, remains permanently within him]; and he cannot practice sinning because he is born (begotten) of God. 10 By this it is made clear who take their nature from God and are His children and who take their nature from the devil and are his children: no one who does not practice righteousness [who does not conform to God’s will in purpose, thought, and action] is of God; neither is anyone who does not love his brother (his fellow believer in Christ). |

They went out from us...none of them were of us 1 John 2:19 (NKJV) They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. 2:19 "They went out from us...none of them were of us. The first characteristic mentioned of antichrists, i.e., false teachers and deceivers (vv. 22-26), is that they depart from the faithful. They arise from within the church and depart from true fellowship and lead people out with them. "The verse also places emphasis on the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints. Those genuinely born again endure in faith and fellowship and the truth (1 Cor. 11:19; 2 Tim. 2:12). The ultimate test of true Christianity is endurance (Mark 13:13; Heb. 3:14) The departure of people from the truth and the church is their unmasking" (MacArthur Study Bible). |

300 | Can you fall from grace? | John 5:24 | Radioman2 | 81618 | ||
No, no and no. No one who is begotten (born) of God can "fall from grace". After you are saved, you cannot become unsaved. After you are saved, you cannot go to hell instead of heaven. Eternal life, by definition, is not temporary. "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life." NASB John 5:24 AMPLIFIED 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. AMPLIFIED John 10:27-29 The sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice; and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never lose it or perish throughout the ages. [To all eternity they shall never by any means be destroyed.] And no one is able to snatch them out of My hand. My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater and mightier than all [else]; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father's hand. AMPLIFIED Romans 8:35 Who shall ever separate us from Christ's love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword? AMPLIFIED Romans 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, AMPLIFIED Romans 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. AMPLIFIED Philippians 1:6 And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you. AMPLIFIED 1 Peter 1:4-5 [Born anew] into an inheritance which is beyond the reach of change and decay [imperishable], unsullied and unfading, reserved in heaven for you, Who are being guarded (garrisoned) by God's power through [your] faith [till you fully inherit that final] salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time. |
