321 | Explanation on 1 John 5:7-8 please? | 1 John | retxar | 29809 | ||
Hi Ray, That's an astute observation Ray! I was not aware that the 77 NASB read so much different here, until I checked out what you told me. I think the 95 probably has the correct reading, or I guess I should say has the proper text in the proper verse. God did not inspire John to put in the verse and chapter numbers anyway, so I guess it would be hard to prove either right or wrong! I would really like to defend the NKJV here, but I don't I could do it honestly. Even Jay P. Green's LITV (Literal Translation) and MKJV (Modern KJV) have 7b and 8a in italics, and he is a hard nosed RT man. The 95 NASB matches up with the WEB, which is a Majority Text translation. That in itself does not prove anything, but the MT usually agrees with the Received Text that the KJV and NKJV were translated from, but here it agrees with the Critical Text that the NASB was translated from. retxar |

322 | The 'Kosmos' in 1 John | 1 John 2:2 | retxar | 19592 | ||
Hi Joe, Quick question. I claim neither Arminians or Calvinism. I don't want to get things cranked back up here, but I's just got ta know. If the Reformed teaching upholds the view that individuals can only die in their sins, because they are not atoned for, how does it explain Jesus extending forgiveness, personally, to the "non-elect", when no forgiveness was available? (i.e. Mat 19:21, Mar 10:21, Luke 18:22, Luke 23:34). How could Jesus say their sins could be forgiven and they could inherit eternal life, if what He was saying was not actually true and there sins were not atoned for? Thanks bro, retxar |

324 | What's the "seed" that keeps u from sin? | 1 John 3:9 | retxar | 69701 | ||
What about Luke 8:11? "Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God." ? retxar |

325 | Will we go thru the tribulation | Rev 3:10 | retxar | 28315 | ||
The word "these" in Rev 11:4 is referring to the previous verse, which speaks of the two prophets God will raise up, not churches. This was 1st prophesied in Zec 4. This corresponds with the two men God raised up in Zechariah’s day: Joshua and Zerubbabel. retxar |

326 | Will we go thru the tribulation | Rev 3:10 | retxar | 28352 | ||
Hi Serenetime, The lampstands (candlesticks KJV) are the 2 witnesses (2 individuals Rev_11:8). The olive trees suppling the never ending supply of olive oil to the lampstand (the light of the world) is symbolic of the Holy Spirit from whence their power to be witnesses will come (Act_1:8). Even if one were to believe the two witnesses were churches instead of individuals (can’t see it myself), Rev_11:4 would be before the rapture of the church as those with a pre-wrath/mid-trib view of scripture see it. In other words, the rapture of the church would occur at the same time or about the same time as the resurrection of the 2 witnesses (Rev_11:3 1260 days is 3.5 years minus 17 days). retxar |

Hello again, Serenetime In order for you to see a greater truth, let’s say the candlesticks in Rev 11:4 are churches. I think you originally presented this as proof that the church would not be spared the wrath of the great tribulation. Well if you read down to verse 12 you will see that the candlesticks (whether witnesses or churches) are called up to heaven. If you continue reading verse 13 and beyond, you will see that the wrath of the tribulation is just beginning and the “candlesticks” are spared from going thru it! Neat, huh? The Word is Light! retxar |

328 | Will we go thru the tribulation | Rev 3:10 | retxar | 28395 | ||
Serenetime, Please carefully consider all, in light of reason, and the scriptural evidence presented. Rev 1:10a I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day: "in the Sprit" means John was in a state where God could supernaturally reveal things to him in order for him to write the book of Revelation; "on the Lord's day" simple means it was Sunday, the 1st day of the week, the day Jesus arose (Mar 16:9). Could the two witnesses be Philadelphia and Smyrna? No, not the waty I see it, but if you see it that way, there is no way you can cling to the belief that the church will go thru the wrath of the great tribulation! If you see the two witnesses as churches, surely you can see that scripture is very clear in the fact that the witnesses are resurrected prior to the wrath of the GT (Rev 11:12). In light of that fact (you believing the witnesses are churches), would you consider changing you view to one that the church will NOT go thru the wrath of the great tribulation, considering there is no other conclusion, based on what you have told me you believe? Going on the 1st load! retxar |

329 | Are those drawn 2 Christ raised to life? | Rev 13:8 | retxar | 88544 | ||
"Assume" and "say differently" what ever works best for you, bro. I would prefer you just read and believe what I said without the slant tho. I don't read into this verse that all who are drawn, come to Jesus, simply because that is NOT what it says. I believe it means simply what it says and that is that all who come to Jesus are drawn to Him. Turn that around and you have turned around the Gospel. Jesus saves! retxar P.S. All who read this post are invited to respond. So we can know that all who do respond, were invited. So, by your reasoning, I guess all who are invited will respond? If that happens you will have convinced me that John 6:44 means something different than what it reads and I guess I will just need to learn a new way to talk, write, and read. |

The only way I could come to another conclusion is if the text actually said what you are saying it says. I will need to see John 6:44 turned around to say what you conclude it means, instead of what it actually says in every translation I know of. Then I would not need an interpretation, I could just read what it says. That’s what I do now, and most of the time it works well. What translation are you reading from that says "All who are drawn are raised up to eternal life"? All I have checked has it the other way around; All who are raised up are drawn. Are you trying to say that's the same thing? How come the rich young ruler, who was indeed drawn to Jesus, did not come to Him? Why did Jesus offer eternal life and forgiveness to someone who it was not available for? Why did Jesus make forgiveness available to those who crucified Him, when He knew all would not accept that forgiveness? |

This will be my last response to you on this subject. I don’t have a lot of time to spend here, especially if what I say is not being read anyway. You keep insisting that I have not stated what John 6:44 says. From my 2 previous post to you I will repeat what I have already said (and I really mean it this time!). From Post 1: “I believe it means simply what it says and that is that all who come to Jesus are drawn to Him.” From Post 2: “All who are raised up are drawn.” Or just read it from the WORD: Joh 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. Coming to Jesus requires one to first be drawn to Him, but being drawn to Him does not necessitate that one come to Him. Don’t take my word for it, read a true life example of this phenomenon in Luke 10! What else are you wanting me to say, bro? P.S. Your have took a couple of jabs at me accusing me of being “defensive” and “disrespectful” toward you. I have pretty much ignored them as your have not qualified any of those accusations with any specifics. Most of the time generalities such as this are just attacks and condemnation from the enemy to just create strife, so I try not to be drawn into that. I am still ignoring them, but I apologize to you anyway if there has been some misunderstandings between us (neither one of us knows the other). If you have any specifics you want me to address, I will be glad to do so. God bless you bro, retxar Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. |
