301 | Explaination of Mark 13:28-31 | Mark 13:28 | Jesusman | 34291 | ||
Hello, Tim pretty much gave you the answer. That the generation that would witness the beginning the return of Christ will also witness the end of it. As for the usage of the fig tree, Jesus is pointing out that there are signals that have been given to warn you that certain things are about to happen. He uses the fig tree's signals to reflect that. The whole chapter can be summed up in two words: Be alert! Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

304 | why Jesus called Chief corner stone | Ephesians | Jesusman | 33921 | ||
Hello, There are two parts to the answer to this question. The first involves the importance of the Cornerstone in construction. In construction, the cornerstone is among the most important pieces in matters of foundation and stability. Without a good, strong, and dimentionally straight cornerstone, the whole building could be ruined, uneven, or even dangerous. In brick buildings especially, the whole entire above ground construction is built upon the Cornerstone. The cornerstone sets the measurements for the rest of the building. So, in that regards, Jesus Christ is the pattern by which the Church is patterned after. Jesus is the cornerstone by which the Church rests upon. It his saving grace that has straightened out and lined up the Church of God. Now, for the second part. In Isaiah 28:16, Isaiah gives one of his messianic prophecies concerning God's cornerstone. Paul, in Ephesians, is establishing Jesus as that Cornerstone which Isaiah speaks of. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

Hello, Support? No! Something to look into? Yes! On a side note concerning Enoch's prophecy, it is clear that the Cain and his decendants were sinful. Couldn't his prophecy be concerning them? Jesusman |

306 | The Sons of God in Genesis 6:1-4 | Genesis | Jesusman | 33912 | ||
Hello, As for "banah adam", sorry don't see much there other than stating that the line starts with adam, but then again, Cain's line started with Adam as well. As for the NT references and their meanings being used in Genesis, true, I did use the New testament to prove a point. Then again, the point that I made is one that is used all throughout the Bible, not just in the New testament. What I did was to apply a meaning that is consistant throughout the Bible. As for obedience verses "totally depraved", a person can be a sinner, and still be obedient to God. Take Abraham for example. Abraham was human, a sinner, and totally Depraved by default. He started out being totally depraved, yet he still obeyed God when God told him to go. True, Abraham slipped up a time or two, but he was still obedient. Now, I'm not saying that the "Sons of God" in Genesis 6 were as perfect and obedient as Jesus. I'm saying that they were as obedient to God as a human could be, especially in comparrison to the "Daughters of Men". Jesusman |

307 | The Sons of God in Genesis 6:1-4 | Genesis | Jesusman | 33908 | ||
Hello, Hebrews 1 clearly says that angels are "ministering spirits". While they can appear to be in physical form, that does not mean that they are physical. It just means that they look like they are physical when in reality they are spirits. I can appear to look like a bunny, that doesn't make me a bunny. Jesusman |

Hello, The meaning of any phrase is dependant upon the context in which it is used. Certain generalities can be made about a particular meaing, but the definite meaning will depend upon how it is used in it's context. Jesusman |

309 | Why the Old and New Testament? | Bible general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 33906 | ||
Hello, The OT lifeless???? I wouldn't say that. Neither do I agree that the New Testament is more glorious than the Old. I would say that the New Testament is Glorious in a different way than the Old, but not more. Many of the passages that refer to the glory and majesty of God the Father are found in the Old Testament. I also don't agree that the OT is depressing. I find numerous uplifting and joyous passages in the Old Testament. At one point, I believed that all a person needed was the NT and that the OT was just for background information. I later read Philip Yancy's Book, "The Bible Jesus Read." It goes into the Old Testament and it's importance. During that time frame, I started studying the Old Testament phrases and passages being quoted in the New Testament. One that came to mind was Phillip and the Etheopian eunich. The Passage in focus was Isaiah 53:7-8. With that passage, Phillip lead the Etheopian to Christ. As I continued my studies, I soon realized that the 1st century church didn't have the New Testament completed and handy. They had the Old Testament availiable and had to utilize that. You see, the gospel message was designed such, through divine means, to be given, presented, studied, and seen throughout the entire text of the Scripture. Meaning that you can find the Gospel message in any passage in the Bible. You give me a text, and I'll present the Gospel message and how it points to Christ. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

310 | Did Satan know God's plan for salvation | Bible general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 33352 | ||
Hello, You asked, "Why not just have him stoned to death?" The answer has to do with the messianic prophecies and the sacrificial laws. The Prophets clearly speak of the Messiah being Crucified some 500 years before the Romans invented crucifixion. Second, the Sacrifical Laws state that the Sacrifice is to be slain, not stoned. The Blood needed to be shed in order for the Sacrifice to be lawful. The way to accomplish that in Jesus' time was through him being crucified. On top of that, you have the humiliation, pain, and torment that Jesus went through. Jesus had to suffer the payment of the cumulated total of the sins of the entire world throughout history. Stoning wouldn't have even scratched the surface. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

311 | Did Satan know God's plan for salvation | Bible general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 33345 | ||
Hello, I'd have to say that Satan does know God's plan for Salvation, or at least he knows part of it. Satan maybe a fool for trying to go against God, but he not dumb. Satan and his demons all have acknowledged Jesus as the Son of God. Look at Legion's statement in Mark 5. I love this passage. :-) Before Jesus even approached him, Legion runs up to Jesus, falls down on the ground in submission, and says to him, "What do you have to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me." Before Jesus even says anything, Legion acknowledges Christ's deity, his authority, and requests mercy from him in the name of God, who he (Legion) has rejected. Then Legion turns around and asks permission from Jesus to enter into the pigs nearby. This event tells me that Satan at least knows a little-bit about God's salvational plan, and that his demons know enough about Jesus to fear him. Jesusman |

313 | TNIV: How Will It Affect Us? | Bible general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 33330 | ||
Hello Hank, Personally, I think it really won't make that big of a difference. I used to sell bibles. When I told them of the ESV when it came out, many of my customers asked rather sarcastically, "Now What?" It was clear that while many were interested about what the translation was about and what my opinion was of it, a majority didn't care one way or another. They would take a flyer or maybe even buy a copy, but that was about it. I'd say that we wait a few months or even a year after the translation is out, then see what effect it's having. Jesusman |

314 | Why the Old and New Testament? | Bible general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 33321 | ||
Hello, The Old and New Testaments are connected. IN fact, they are more connected than they are separate. As another poster commented, "testament" means "covenant". The Old Testament speaks of the Old Covenant or the Law. Since Jesus died on the Cross, the believers of God and followers of Christ are now under the grace of God. That does not mean that the Law is null and void. It is still very much in effect. When Jesus came, died, and ressurrected, he finalized the covenant, or completed it. The Old Covenant wasn't complete. Jesus completed it. So, what you have in the Bible isn't an Old Covenant and a New one, but One completed covenant. So, if you just read the New Testament, you are only reading a portion of the Covenant. To read the whole Covenant, you must read the Old Testament as well. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

315 | The Sons of God in Genesis 6:1-4 | Genesis | Jesusman | 33320 | ||
Hello, Seth was the appointed offspring through the prophecy in Genesis 3:15, not appointed through being the firstborn. The prophecy in Genesis 3:15 states that an offspring from the woman will bruise the head of the serpent, which identifies Christ. Dr. Luke provides the geneology that takes Jesus through Solomon's brother nathan, thus fulfilling the prophecy of the messiah being of David's line, then takes it back through Abraham, then to Noah, then to Seth, then Adam, and finally God. The line could not have been through Cain due to him being cursed. It could not have been Abel due to his death. Therefore, it must have been through Seth, and Genesis 4:25-26 tells us that Seth was "appointed" to begin the messianic line since his birth. As for Genesis 4:26, and the "proclaim" meaning "profain". I haven't been able to find any support for that. In fact, the same language has been used in Psalms 116:13-17, Zephaniah 3:9, and Zechariah 13:9. All of these passages refer to believers and followers of God calling out to him in worship and through salvation. It is more likely that the usage in Genesis 4:26 is similar in meaning to these others that are mentioned. As for Seth being a Godly line, there is evidence that his descendants were followers of God. Enoch, and Noah for example are two that are listed as obeying God. So, since these two obeyed God, and that there are some listed between them, it is reasonable to assume that the belief and obedience to God was passed down from Father to Son, possibly beginning with Adam, Eve, and Seth. This can be also supported with Eve's comments concerning Seth's birth. She attributes his Birth to God. An unbeliever and sinner wouldn't openly do that. Therefore, there is some support for thinking that Eve, and possibly Adam as well, reformed their belief and obedience to God. Then you have the meaning of "Sons of God" and "Daughters of man". While this is referring to Male offspring and Female offspring, I believe it also carries an implied meaning as well. Declaring that you are "of 'someone" did not always mean that you were related to him. It also meant that you followed that person in allegience or in thought, belief, and etc. A perfect example of this is found in the Pauline epistles. I think it was to the Corinthians that he said something like, "there are those who say, 'I am of Paul. I am of Apollos. I am of Cephas.' I say be none of that, but be of Jesus Christ." I think this is implied into Genesis 6:1-4. On one hand, You have the male members who were obedient to God and Worshipped him. They were "of God". On the other hand, you have the female members who indulged in the desires of the flesh, and disobeyed God. They were "of Man". The males saw the females as beautiful, and took them as wives.

316 | What is "ESV" all about.... | Bible general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 33052 | ||
Hello, The ESV is a translation that is to be "essentually literal". From what I have seen thus far, it is to rival the NASB in literal accuracy. I have looked into it in the NT, and am pleased to find it very accurate. I haven't done much studies into the OT of the ESV yet, so I can't give an opinion one way or another. However, it is promising. As for the NIV, I use the NIV occasionally. I just stay away from the gender neutral versions. As for the New Living Translation, I hate to say this about any translation of the Bible, but throw it away. It is horrably inaccurate and misleading in many crucial passages. Making a translation that is readable is one thing. To totally mistranslate a passage and say something that isn't there is something else. The New Living Translation does the latter on many occasions. I can even provide a listing of NLT passages if neccessary. Jesusman |

317 | Burnt offering, Sin offering-symbolize? | Bible general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 33048 | ||
Hello, The answer to your inquiry can be summed up in just two words: Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was the ultimate sacrifice, the perfect sacrifice, and the final sacrifice. Hebrews chapter 10 really spells it out. Basically, since Jesus died on the Cross for our sins, the Old Testament practice of ritual sacrifices are no longer needed. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

318 | What attitude toward chastening? | OT general | Jesusman | 33033 | ||
Hello, Chastenment was a form of disipline, not in the sense of punishment for wrong doing, but in the sense of control. To control your child, you would chasten the child. This aided in preventing your child from becoming an uncontrolable brat. In the sense of divine chastening, it is the way that God molds the believer to do His will. Now, David, in Psalms 6:1, asks the Lord not to Chasten him in wrath. Psalm 6 is a psalm for mercy. David is praying for mercy from God. God is angry with David and is punishing him. David is asking God to be gracious and not to punish or chasten him in anger. It's not that David is rejecting God's guidence, but rather that he is wanting more of God's mercy to be shown to him during this troublesome time. Jesusman |

319 | Is this a false prophet? | Job | Jesusman | 33029 | ||
Hello Jensen, Remember the words of John the Beloved in 1 John 4:1-3 (1 John 4:1) Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. (1 John 4:2) By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; (1 John 4:3) and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. A true prophet who speaks in the name of the Lord will speak that which coincides with God's holy word dictated in the Bible. A prophet who does not speak such things is not sent by God. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |
