2981 | Healing through prayer? | James 5:14 | EdB | 145617 | ||
Is James talking about pysical or spiritual sickness in these verses? Or both? Both, but the emphasis in this case is physical healing. If you follow this proceedure, will you be pysically healed if it is God's will? Yes, but the key words here are 'God's will'. God often has a reason for us to walk through infirmities and afflictions. Many don’t want to trust God and feel every sickness, every affliction is not in their best interests but God has promised to make all things work to the good of those that love Him and are called to His purpose. Rom 8:28 EdB |

2982 | Does sin cause sickness? | James 5:14 | EdB | 145683 | ||
newoldstock I think Pastor Glenn answered your question for you. However notice one thing there is an "and" in verse 15. Prayer offered in faith will restore the sick "and" if he has committed sins they will be forgiven him. See it is two thoughts tied together not saying one caused the other. EdB |

2983 | who are the spirits in this verse? | 1 Peter | EdB | 21260 | ||
Lydia Be very careful with what Casiv said, it simply not supported scripturally. Also what Rhoades said is a allegorical view of what might have taken place. I agree with with the first two responders but they fail to mention that Jesus also preached to the lost not to give them a second chance but to show them justice of their rejection of Him. EdB |

2984 | If we ask for healing does God answer no | 1 Peter | EdB | 39214 | ||
Cody The verse you quote "By his stripes we are healed is found two places in the bible. In Is 53:5 and 1 Peter 2:24 and both have been the subject of much discussion particularly since many TV evangelist teach on this. 1. The question is are these verses talking spiritual healing or physical healing? Context around 1 Peter 2:24 insists that it is talking about spiritual healing. However the meaning in Isaiah is not so clear. 2. To add to the confusion Matthew 8:17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: "HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES." Here the quote comes from Is. 53:3 just 2 verses preceding the verse in question. However notice here the Matthew says Jesus is fulfilling it even before the crucifixion. 3. Then there is argument since our spirit was dead in sin would healing be the answer won’t rebirth be required, therefore this passage has to be talking physical rather the spiritual healing. 4. Another passage that must be added to the mix is found in James 5:14-16. It tells a Christian what they should do if they become sick. Now let me address those points. 1. Since 1 Peter 2:24 is a quote of Isaiah and context of the Peter proves he is talking of spiritual rather than physical healing this adds credence to Isaiah’s passage as also talking of spiritual rather than physical healing. If not then we would have to conclude Peter under the unction of the Holy Spirit took a passage that meant one thing to mean another. God is not the author of confusion 1 Cor. 14:33 2. Isaiah was giving us a list of things the Messiah would accomplish or should be recognized by. Jesus did in fact meet every one of those. However since it was a list it does not mean we have to consider context (the fact Isaiah was talking about physical healing in verse 3 does not have to mean he is talking about physical healing in verse 5). 3. This is man’s logic and really a play on words. Many times our unsaved spirit was referred to as needed healing, or made right, or to be reborn. I believe it is not proof of anything and again nothing more than a play on words. 4. If Jesus provided healing by his stripes then logic would say we should have perfect health upon salvation and James would be unneeded. However God does nothing for nothing and James was included. Therefore we must have a need for it. I believe Jesus’ death gave us the right to ask for healing and if it serves God’s purpose and pleasure we will be healed. However I also think if it serves God purpose and pleasure that we remain afflicted than I belief that will be the case. We should always ask expecting to be healed, but knowing if we are not, God has promised to make all things work to our good for those that love Him and are called to His purpose. Romans 8:28. I myself have been healed of many things and I have seen others healed. But to insist that God has to heal us because Is 53:5 is just not correct. EdB |

2985 | Christ enterng in to hell | 1 Peter | EdB | 53123 | ||
Rrwal9510 Here I go reading more into a question than is there. Understand the KJV translates 4 different words in the word hell. The first word is Sheol found only in the Old Testament and representing the holding place for the dead both the righteous and unrighteous. The next found in both testaments Hades again is talking about the holding place for the dead. Gehenna and Tartaros is talking about a place of eternal punishment. Tartaros is only used once and in reference to fallen angels. When we say Jesus entered into hell it does not mean he entered the place of eternal punishment but rather Sheol or Hades the holding place for the dead. We know from the parable in Luke 16:20-25 that Sheol or Hades (Hell as translated in KJV) has two sides a hot dry place where the unrighteous that die go awaiting final judgement at the Great White Throne of Judgement Rev 20:11 and Abraham’s Bosom or Paradise where the righteous before Christ died went. Jesus then went there and lead them to heaven. I Pet 3:18-20 and Ephes. 4:8. Today if a rigtheous die they go directly into Jesus’ presence. 2 Cor. 5:8 By the way Satan does not occupy or rule Hell, Sheol, Hades. We know he roams upon the earth seeking victims. He will eventually end in the Lake of Fire (Gehenna) Rev 20:10 I pray this answers your questions. EdB |

2986 | Jesus in Hell? | 1 Peter | EdB | 53553 | ||
In the Andes First the words in Act 2:24 (the Greek word “Odin” means labor pains or birth pains) and talking more of the experience than of the actual pain. Acts 2:24 "But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power. NASB. Death here is talking about the separation from God. Whether you were in the hot dry place or in Abraham’s bosom you were separated from God. Peter is saying we no longer have to die but rather we have eternal life in Christ Jesus. The word in Rev 16:11 (is Ponos which is “pain”) and is talking of actual pain. Rev. 16:11 and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds. NASB As to Luke 16:22,23 we see both die. They both went to the place of the dead. This was called Hades. Jewish culture always taught there was two sides of Hades one Hot and dry reserved for the unrighteous and one paradise reserved for the righteous there the dead would wait for the Messiah (righteous) or Judgement (Hot dry). Jesus in telling this parable expanded on the Jewish knowledge of this place telling of the void or chasm that prevents moving about and he also called Paradise Abraham’s bosom which would have been a word picture to the Jews of Paradise. Remember Hell or Hades is not the final resting place of either the righteous or the wicked. The righteous, since the death of Christ, upon death go to be with Jesus. Paul told us that to be absent from the body was present with the Lord 2 Cor. 5:8. Also the wicked will stand judgement before the Great White Throne and then be cast alive into the Lake of Fire Rev 20:15. I pray this will clear it up for you. EdB |

2987 | What do you mean by separated? | 1 Peter | EdB | 53564 | ||
In the Andes Your absolutely right Jesus could not be separated from God for Him to do so would cause the Godhead to be separated. Jesus died physically but not spiritually. He was never separated from God. Jesus' words in Matt 27:46 is Jesus once more in love and grace showing Himself to be the Messiah. He is quoting the first verse of the Psalm 22 which details his crucifixion experience. Jesus was not crying out for God. God would never leave nor forsake Him, Jesus was once more demonstrating His fulfillment of the prophets. Jesus conquered spiritual death that is what this passage in Acts is saying Death could not hold him, He beat death. The price was paid, sin had no hold on Him so he could not be separated from God.

2988 | why do you think that jesus went to hell | 1 Peter | EdB | 80544 | ||
wwjdonuts Hades which is tranlated Hell is the holding place for the dead. Before Christ the righteous and unrighteous went to Hades. Jesus in Luke 16:19-31 gives us a picture of this. Since Jesus' death and resurrection the righteous in Christ that die go directly into the presence of the Lord. However the unrighteous go to Hades and await the Judgement. Hell is not a place of punishment with Satan in charge as many are lead to believe. The place of punishment for the unrighteous is the Lake of Fire. Where Satan will one day be placed there himself.

Theresa I'm not Doc but let me offer two scriptures for you to consider until we hear from Doc. Exodus 4:11 and 1 Cor 11:27-30. Also if I might suggest something once you are involved in a thread you don't have to keep making your posts a question to ask a question. When you flag your post as a question it then appears on the Question queue. If you just flag it as a note everyone following the thread will still see it and the one to whom you responded to will be notified by e-mail that you responded. We just try to keep the question queue for new threads or to post something that everyone needs to see. :-) EdB |

2991 | KJV | 1 Pet 1:3 | EdB | 145721 | ||
1:3-6 Do you need encouragement? Peter's words offer joy and hope in times of trouble, and he bases his confidence on what God has done for us in Christ Jesus. We're called into a living hope of eternal life (1Pe 1:3). Our hope is not only for the future; eternal life begins when we trust Christ and join God's family. No matter what pain or trial we face in this life, we know that it is not our final experience. Eventually we will live with Christ forever. —Life Application Bible Notes |

2993 | Can you prove eternal security? | 1 Pet 1:23 | EdB | 141292 | ||
Voice of Thunder after you get all the answers the "prove eternal security" ask them to explain Gal 5:1-5 where we see it mentioned that they fell from grace. Let me give an outline of a sermon on falling from grace written by Mitch Davis. Falling From Grace Theme: What grace is and knowing we can fall from it. Gal. 5:1-4 INTRODUCTION: A. We are currently looking at words and phrases that are important to understand as Christians or those needing to become a Christian. 1. In our previous lesson we looked at the word: justification. 2. Justification typically means to stand right…by way of law (a standard). 3. Yet, being justified before God comes apart from the law: both by faith and God’s grace. B. We shall now focus our study on God’s grace. 1. Like justification, many fail to see how one’s faith is connected to God’s grace. 2. The faith many espouse is one of word, but not deed. 3. This false teaching is known as “faith only” doctrine. 4. This teaching espouses that a person who is “saved” can never “fall” from God’s grace. C. Therefore, it is important to look at the subject of grace. 1. We shall look at what “grace” means and how it relate to our faith. 2. What the scriptures mean when it says “you have fallen from grace.” Gal. 5:4 3. How one’s faith…coupled with God’s grace can restore a person who has been “severed from Christ.” I. Grace and its Relationship to our Faith A. God’s Grace allows man to have fellowship. 1. Grace simply means “unmerited favor.” 2. It is in direct contrast to “debt.” Rom. 4:4 3. Because we have been guilty of committing sin our wages are death. Rom. 6:23 4. By God’s grace/gift we were able to stand (be justified) with God. Rom. 3:24-25 B. Yet, man’s faith is that which connects Him to God’s grace. Cp. Rom. 5:1-2; Rom. 3:21-26; Eph. 2:8 1. A person hears God’s word. Rom. 10:17 2. He believes in God’s word. Rom. 10:14 3. His conviction leads him to obey God’s word. cp. Rom. 6:17 4. Through faith, then, this person has access to God’s grace. Rom. 5:1-2 C. Receiving God’s grace. 1. Man must choose whether he will reject or accept – by faith – God’s will. cp. Josh. 24:15 2. This is true for the one who has never obeyed the gospel. Acts 2:40 3. Or, for the Christian who (chooses to) continue in his walk with the Lord. 2 Cor. 6:1 D. Growing in God’s grace (through faith). 2 Pet. 3:17-18 1. The idea of “growing in grace” and “growing in the knowledge of our Lord” comes through hearing/believing/accepting His divine word. Cp. 2 Pet. 1:5ff 2. Growing in grace is in contrast to one who is exhorted NOT to “fall from your own steadfastness.” 3. In other words, our growing in God’s grace comes by way of our faith. I. FALLING FROM GOD’S GRACE A. The concept of falling away. Matt. 24:10; Lk. 8:13 1. The fact that many will “fall away” is undeniable. 2. Spiritually, to “fall” synonymously equates with: a. Not being able to stand justified before God. b. To leave or forsake. Matt. 26:31 (cp. v. 33) c. “Apostasy.” 2 Thess. 2:3-4 B. To “fall” from God’s grace one must have had God’s grace to begin with. 1. While having grace Christians were exhorted not to come “short of the grace of God.” Heb. 12:14-15 2. Further, Christians – those who have received God’s grace – but who strive to be justified other than by God’s grace or by way of faith will “fall from grace.” Gal. 5:4 II. REPENTING BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE A. Just as one can choose to accept or reject God’s grace, one also has the ability to repent, so as to once again receive God’s grace. Cp. Lk. 15:11-24 B. If one doe not (choose to) repent, however, then he shall die in his sins. 1. This is Jesus’ warning to the churches in Asia Minor as they are told to “repent.” Rev. 2:5, 16; 3:19 2. This is true of any person who forsakes God’s grace by straying from the faith. CONCLUSION: C. We see how God’s grace is given to man and how man accepts God’s grace by faith. D. We also have seen how not only is it possible for people to fall from God’s grace, there are believers/Christians who were told that they have in fact “fallen from grace.” E. If you have rejected God’s grace – whether to become a Christian or as a Christian – you are urged to repent… that God’s grace may be upon you. EdB |

Imf I did not say healing wasn't available today nor did I say God won't heal you! I said, "to say God will heal you everytime is absurd." Don't put words in my mouth, I very much beleive in the prayer for healing and in divine healing. I have seen many healed and I have received God's mercy poured out in healing. I also believe there times, reasons and people that for reasons I do not always understand that God does not choose to heal. Your right Moses, Aaron, Enoch, and Elijah didn't die from injury or disease. I think they are the exceptions rather than the rule don't you? EdB |

2998 | Through Cultural Eyes - or not??? | 1 Pet 3:1 | EdB | 124430 | ||
joyduncan I will let Tim Moran address the Greek issue but I would like to comment on the other aspect of your question. "I don't like the way that we are using certain "rules of interpretation" for certain verses, and totally different ones for other very similar verses. It is especially difficult given the fact that most of the people who seem to be making the decisions as to which "rules" to use are men. So this is what I think I need clarification on - why do we look through such cultural filters for certain passages, and not for others????" I agree when we try to explain a verse any verse away using what you call a 'cultural filter' I think we are on a slippery slope. The Word of God is for today the same as yesterday and for tomorrow when we say this only pertained to that particular societal custom we are actually modifying scripture. I think it also shows a lack of workmanship in that we didn’t attempt to find the meaning in today’s culture. There are many verses (I’m trying to avoid specific verses so this discussion doesn’t get lost in those issues) that people explain away saying this was a custom of the time and since that isn't practiced today it doesn’t pertain to us. Hogwash! What we are really saying was God was so shortsighted that He didn’t know using something that pertained only to a specific practice in a first century church would confuse those in the twenty first century. Lets face it, there are many things done by the Jesus and His disciples after him that aren’t recorded, why would God allow something be recorded that had no purpose for all generations and would actually lead to confusion? I believe everything was put in the Bible for a reason and that reason was to give us a standard for living. I also don’t believe God gave us anything to make one gender, or one people group second class, however I do believe He did give us things that if followed in the way God intended will protect us from many bad decisions and much turmoil in our lives. It also may explain why the church today has as much crime, divorce, child abuse, abortion, teenage delinquency as the world around it. We have dismissed to much as merely a “cultural issue” not something God wants us to “follow” today! For those that don’t understand what is being discussed here. I will agree we don’t have wineskins and we don’t grind our wheat with stone mills, but these aren’t the issues that are being dismissed as first century cultural or social customs. So yes JOYDUNCAN I think your right questioning who makes the decision, this is cultural issue to be dismissed in today's culture and this is all encompassing to which we need to conform to today.

2999 | Through Cultural Eyes - or not??? | 1 Pet 3:1 | EdB | 124434 | ||
joyduncan On other aspect of this discussion. We view terms in todays reference rather in generational reference. Take for example the word "leader". Today that means the person in charge, the boss, the person in command, the decision maker,the priveleged, the guy that hangs back and takes credit if it worked and sheds the blame to others of it doesn't. That is a corporate, industrial, millitary viewpoint. Viewed "generationally" it was a person that had exhibited enough wisdom, ability, courage, to have garnered enough respect for others to follow his lead. However the fact remained without his followers he was not a leader. He was usually the first to give his life. Credit for success as not his but shared with others and credit for all failure was his alone. You see it is almost a reverse of today. I wonder what would happen if we viewed these passages not using definitions of this generations but definitions that have existed for generations. Perhaps the "submitted one" would be the in the cat birds seat. :-) EdB |

3000 | What about reading the announcements? | 1 Pet 3:1 | EdB | 124488 | ||
joyduncan First the verse you discussing is 1 Cor. 14:34 “Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says.” What does it say, women should be silent. Then is says they are to be submissive and if we read on the next verse says if they have a question they should ask their husband at home. First women aren't to be submissive to all men just wives to their husbands and daughters to their fathers. Secondly if it was talking about all women what would those that have question and aren't married do? Therefore it can’t be talking about all women being silent in church, we have the whole thing wrong somewhere. But where? Now let us go back to context. In prior verse it says God is not the author of confusion but rather the author of peace. What would cause an unpeaceful situation in the church? Merely a women talking or something else? Let’s read on, it says women are to be silent and if they have a question ask their husband at home. Why would asking a question cause an unpeaceful situation? Well many said the women sat on one side and the men on the other and for a wife to ask a question she had to holler across the church. Hogwash. These were home churches and women probably passed through the gathering insuring the comfort of everyone. So what could it be? How could a question cause an unpeaceful situation? What if the question was asked in a way to embarrass her husband? Perhaps she was mad at him and rather than be submissive decided to publicly embarrass him. We know the man is to be the priest of the home, and was responsible for the religious education in the family. What if the wife in an effort to get even (as opposed to submitted) decided to ask a question that would make everyone question what the man was teaching his family. A question like, “do I really have to sweep the floors to be saved?” I imagine that would start a fight that could get real interesting. Doesn’t that make more sense to say a wife should be submissive to her husband not questioning him in public but to remain silent and if there is a question ask at home, than saying all women are forbidden to talk in church, or this was cultural thing where women were hollering across the church etc. EdB |
