2941 | Beast system, what do you think it is? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 21022 | ||
Casiv Before you ask a question why don't you explain the meaning of the mark of the beast? You said in the thread "Only seal and horse in same verse Rev6:5", you could explain it and you never have. You provided us with a scenic tour of the Bible, to have given mystic and troubling responses but to date you have never answered the question. What is the mark of the beast and provide biblical support for your answer? |

2942 | name of lost book in Bible | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 21006 | ||
Skot Hi and Welcome to the forum! From time to time there are have been those that pop up and say they have found a lost book of the Bible. However God in His faithfulness has completed and preserved the Bible through centuries without fail. Or in other words there is no lost book of the Bible. Those that have claimed to be are the Gospel of Thomas, Book of Enoch, Book of Jasher, Book of Isaiah II, and at one time or another most of the books of the apocrypha. However after close examination all have been found to fail to meet the requirements of the Cannon of the Bible. And many have been declared actual frauds. As I said the Bible is complete. Hope this helps. EdB |

2943 | no redemption without shedding of blood | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 21001 | ||
Truthstudent Hi and Welcome to the forum! The verse you looking for is Hebrews 9:22 with Leviticus 17:11 the Old Testament precursor to it. Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.' Hebrews 9:22 And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. |

2944 | Who dose not belive in the TERM Trinity? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 20620 | ||
Mincc Welcome to the forum. You asked a very difficult question to answer. You said you believed in the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit but did not believe in the Trinity. From that I assume you believe there are three Gods. Is that correct? You then asked to be directed to a Christian minister that believed like you. That is a problem. By definition a Christian is a person that believes and follows the teachings of Jesus. In the Gospels Jesus repeatedly stated there was but one God. That He and God were one, if you saw one you saw the other, if you loved one you loved the other and etc. For a minister not to believe in the Trinity means he does not believe in what Christ said and that by definition that would put him outside the parameters of a Christian. Hence the difficulty in answering your question. EdB |

2946 | How can we tell figurative from literal? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 19606 | ||
Sir Pent The Bible must be taken literally unless the text itself shows it is speaking figuratively by using metaphors, allegories and other such figures of speech. Or unless a literal interpretation would violate common sense or contradicts scripture in other places. One of the biggest problems I see in scripture interpretation today is we are too quick to apply our ideas to the scripture rather than studying to find the real meaning. Many times this results in a surface or feasible explanation but at the cost of the actual or more in-depth meaning. Also many men rather than study on their own will repeat other men’s teachings on the passage. By doing this, errors are often repeated. I think this is one of the reasons we have so many people quoting and holding to promises made only to Israel. It sounded good and they never looked to see what it meant in context. |

2947 | Does Jeremiah 14 and 15 relate to U.S. | Jeremiah | EdB | 19268 | ||
Ihavefavor Hi, and welcome to the forum, I don't believe I talked to you before. United States in particular and the Western hemisphere are simply not mentioned in the Bible. To try to make a connection is forcing scripture. As far as nations go, God only wrote about nations that directly effect/effected Israel. The rest of the world (most of Europe Australia, Arctic Antarctic, most of Asia , most of Africa, North and South America is not mentioned or is included in the generalized term Islands. While we have a great nation, one which we all are proud of it is kind of presumptuous to try to place the US in Biblical prophecy in light of all the other nations that are not mentioned. I hope this answeres your question EdB |

2949 | Did the Holy Spirit depart from Christ? | Matt 27:46 | EdB | 18981 | ||
Absolutely not. Jesus did not die spiritually! This is created theology based on 9 words spoken in passion that happen to be the opening of the messianic prophecy. There is no Biblical proof to support such a supposition. Jesus was God if he had died spiritually then God would have been dead or separated from Himself. Jesus repeated the opening to Psalm 22 to lead any LISTENER to what was taking place. It was His last attempt to open the eyes of the blind and ears of the deaf. We won't know this side of heaven how many people got saved that day by this action. Everyone says God can't look upon sin yet in Job we see the pinnacle of sin Satan standing before God giving an account. Also notice God reaches out to us when we are deepest in sin and despair. If God will call us out of sin wouldn't he stand by His Son? Give me a break! This whole thing of Jesus dying spiritually on the cross is just made up nonsense and if you study you will find it started with some of the most unsavory of preachers. EdB |

2950 | U.S.A. in Bible Prophesy? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 18792 | ||
No the United States nor for that matter the western hemisphere are not mentioned in the Bible. Many try to find imaginary references to the US but most Bible scholars will agree there are no references. That begs the question why not? I see two possible answers. First through some disaster; natural, man made, or other the USA no longer exists as a major player in world affairs. Second the US is included in the references to the islands made in Revelation 6:14 and 16:20. The term island was commonly given to all land not directly connected to land mass containing Israel by the writers of the time. Another school of thought, is as you suggest; the US is merged into or included in 10 member confederation. In the whole scheme of things I don’t see God holding USA as important as we Americans feel it is. Jerusalem still holds the eye of the Father. |

2951 | Eternal fire | Deut 32:22 | EdB | 18789 | ||
Johnny I don’t think it is a matter of fairness, I think it is more a matter of what would be comprehended by the people of the time and what was recorded in Bible of what took place. Also the use of the word prominent does not mean it was not important. In the Old Testament the matter of righteousness was dealt with more immediate results, if you were righteous or unrighteous you opened yourself to the blessings and curses found throughout the Pentateuch. That is not to say the Old Testament people did not understand the resurrection or the importance of a redeemer (Messiah). All through the Old Testament we see the writers tell about the promised redeemer. Upon death the righteous who died before Christ went to Abraham’s Bosom. This is where Christ upon His death went and preached the Good News and lead captivity captive (took them to heaven). As to your particular reference in Ge. 3:19 We do not know the total of what God said to Adam and Eve just what was documented. God and Adam before the fall walked together in the garden they must have had some conversation yet it is not documented. God gave Adam and Eve a glimpse of the Messiah in Gen 3:15. Also after the fall we see where Cain and Abel went to offer sacrifices this apparently was explained to them as dealing with their worship of God and their redemption. Did Adam know about Hell? I can’t answer that. But God has declared Himself just and He can not lie so I think that there had to be some sort of provision for that matter. As to the Jude 7 issue let’s read what it really says "Jude 1:7 just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire." First it is not talking about the fire that destroyed the city but rather the fire (as in the lake of fire Revelation 20:15) that the unrighteous commended themselves to. Secondly the people that committed those heinous sins knew exactly what they were doing, notice they did it under the cover of night. Lot knew the evil of it, tried to talk them out of it. While hell was not talked about in the Old Testament the idea evidently had been conveyed and the righteous served God looking for their redemption, the unrighteous lived a life as they saw fit believing it would not happen to them. I hope this answers your questions. EdB |

2952 | Only seal and horse in same verse Rev6:5 | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 18785 | ||
Okay call me stupid, call me thick, but I have read all through this thread and I still don't know the answer to this question. I found the discussion between Casiv and Tim on 666 very interesting but again I don't know what Casiv is saying. I followed through with the Strong's even got the right copy :-)and I still do not understand. Please Casiv I never could do riddles and I'm really not that deep of a thinker, would you please tell me the answer to this questiona and the conclusion to the 666 story is. Thanks EdB |

2954 | Ending prayers in Jesus Nane. | Col 3:17 | EdB | 18547 | ||
Hi May I jump in. I always end my prayers in Jesus name. For that is the name in which my salvation is based and gave me access to the throne of God Acts 4:12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Like Charis I like to use the name of Jesus, I also like the NKJV’s handling of Philip. 2:9-11 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, [10] that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, [11] and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. NKJV places this passage into the present tense rather than the future like NASB. With the present tense it says every knee should bow and every tongue should confess Jesus Christ is Lord. I can think of no better time or place for this to occur than during prayer. By naming Jesus at the end of my prayer it is my way of showing this is what is spiritually taking place in my life at that moment. Many times I end my prayer by saying “in the MIGHTY name of Jesus I pray these things”. I also think we need to make heaven and hell aware of whose name we are making the request in. We certainly are not making it in our own, nor are we making it by some other being we are making it in the name of Jesus Christ, there can be no mistake. Lastly I was always taught to pray to God through the name of Jesus, since it is by that name and that name alone I have entrance to the throne of God. |

2955 | Ritually unclean? | Luke 7:14 | EdB | 18367 | ||
Jatfla I would say no the prohibition was against touching a dead person not their coffin. However without a more indepth study of Jewish law I would not go to the stake over that answer. It is a mote point anyhow since the young man was resurrected, since he was no longer dead nothing he touched or anything/anyone tocuhing him was not unclean. |

2957 | Please help me to understand these verse | 2 Thess 2:13 | EdB | 18361 | ||
Frank Satan has you on that proverbial greased slide. When you focus on Esau, Pharaoh, and Job things become less certain. However I believe it is because there is things there we simply do not know. Basically your teaching has been correct and taking the few hints of what you have gone through I can tell you, you have to hang on as Job did. Job 13:15 Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him… Each time I see a handicap child born I think to myself it could have been me. I almost feel guilty because it isn’t me. The someone always asks the enviable question, Why? I don’t know nor does anyone else but we have to trust God. We saw Joseph live and endure many hardships in life and of course the story has a happy ending, however I feel certain that even without the happy ending Joseph would have continued to serve the Lord. And that is what we must. We hear the story of Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah or as they are better know Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego and we think of what wonderful testimonies they were. But think about it they probably saw their sisters, mothers and aunts raped and enslaved, their grandparents slaughtered and they probably saw their fathers and brothers with hooks through their jaws dragged away. They themselves were castrated. But when all else failed them they hung in there and trusted God and continued to TEACH what they had been taught from their youth. I don’t have an answer to election/freewill and neither does anyone else but, this I know God is sufficient and we have to continue to trust in Him. I don’t know why some seem to a have a choice and others don’t. However you have been given a choice question God’s love or don’t. He loved you enough to give you that choice you need to love Him enough to trust Him. |

Kelkat First that we are God's equal. Second that God has to answer what ever we place our faith in. Third that God has to respond to anything we do. There are three for starters. But I thought you wanted to end this debate? |

2959 | Hell and Heaven teaching at Old Testamen | Deut 32:22 | EdB | 18266 | ||
Hi jlpangilinan The doctrine of future punishment is not prominent in the Old Testament, where rewards and punishments are chiefly connected with the present life. In a few passages (Psalm 49:14-15; Psalm 73:18-19; compare Isaiah 24:21-22; Isaiah 66:24), Dr. Charles (who wrote A Critical History of the Doctrine of a Future Life in Israel, in Judaism, and in Christianity) thinks that "Sheol appears as the place of punishment of the wicked". If so, there is no suggestion of escape from it. In Daniel 12:2, some that sleep in the dust are represented as awaking to "shame and everlasting contempt" (the word for "everlasting" is the usual one, olam). In the Jewish literature of the century before Christ, "Sheol is regarded," says Dr. Charles, "as the place of final eternal punishment, that is, it has become hell". Taken from ISBE EdB |

2960 | An end to the "string"? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 18261 | ||
Kelkat Your answer contains the basic elements of authentic Christianity, yet you defend individuals that teach a different doctrine. You imply you never heard them say anything wrong, yet I and many others have supplied countless examples of them doing just that. You included the word “context” so I assume your implying they were made to look bad by taking their teaching out of context. If that be true would you tell me why they and their teaching alone has been so scrutinized. Why hasn’t this same thing been done to individuals like Jack Hayford, John MacArthur, Adrian Rogers, Joe Stowell, Tony Evans, Kay Arthur, Josh McDowell, Erwin Lutzer, and the many, many others? That in itself should cause you some pause. Ask yourself why? Why do people that support genuine Christianity continually object to what these individuals say and do? Love you brother EdB |
