321 | Am I ignorant | 1 Cor 12:1 | Val | 212058 | ||
Merry Christmas Doc, I am sorry you are feeling bad. My husband had the stones long time ago and he had bad memories of it. Hope yours are not that bad. I see you still have a good sense of humor. By the way I am trying to understand this but haven't read the whole thread. Is this prophetic gift like what we see on TV where they pray and say I see this and that sickness and the person who is watching is supposed to figure out if it is them and they are healed. I think they call it a word of knowledge. Is that what is being talked about? I didn't grow up in a denomination that taught this so it is foreign to me. Your sister in Christ - Val | ||||||

Greetings Cheri, What things "folks seem to think are done away with" are you referring to? I am sorry if I may be misunderstanding you. The book of Hebrews contrasts the Mosiac covenant with the new covenant. Specifically Hebrews Eight says Heb 8:1 Now the main point in what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, Heb 8:2 a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man. Heb 8:3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer. Heb 8:4 Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law; Heb 8:5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, "SEE," He says, "THAT YOU MAKE all things ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN WHICH WAS SHOWN YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN." Heb 8:6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second. Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, He says, "BEHOLD, DAYS ARE COMING, SAYS THE LORD, WHEN I WILL EFFECT A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH; Heb 8:9 NOT LIKE THE COVENANT WHICH I MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS ON THE DAY WHEN I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND TO LEAD THEM OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT; FOR THEY DID NOT CONTINUE IN MY COVENANT, AND I DID NOT CARE FOR THEM, SAYS THE LORD. Heb 8:10 "FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MINDS, AND I WILL WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS. AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. Heb 8:11 "AND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH EVERYONE HIS FELLOW CITIZEN, AND EVERYONE HIS BROTHER, SAYING, 'KNOW THE LORD,' FOR ALL WILL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST OF THEM. Heb 8:12 "FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR INIQUITIES, AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE." Heb 8:13 When He said, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear. Cheri, how would you interpret Hebrews 8:13? Also we can look to the council at Jerusalem where the apostles met and ask the question concerning the gentiles "did they have to become jews to be christians". The answer was no they didn't but that they did need to abstain from certain things. Help me to understand what things we think are done away with and provide some scriptures to back up what you are talking about. Right now I am totally confused. Your sister in Christ, Val |

324 | Did He Led Captives @ Death/Ressurection | Eph 4:8 | Val | 212038 | ||
Greetings Searcher; I see no one is taking your bait. I'll give it a try. No I don't think so. It really doesn't say. It makes better sense to me anyway that it was that compartment referred to as Abraham's bosom where believers spirits were. The other compartment of sheol is still there. The one where the wicked rich man is. This is all speculation as the scripture does not elaborate on it. Since Christ was the firstfruit he lead the rest of the fruit to heaven. I believe those you are talking about in Matthew probably went on to die again. We are told in Hebrews that some received their dead back. I believe its chapter 11. Blessings - Val | ||||||

Greetings kamschoolgrad, I would urge you to read and study the whole bible and you will learn the answers to your questions. I would also suggest you obey our government and the laws of our country. In the books of Moses the Israelites served Jehovah God and His laws. This was the law enforcement of that society. In our society today, God has ordained government and law enforcement to uphold justice. A good christian is a law abiding one. There are many topics you might study on your quest for answers. Among them are the covenants, gentiles, the law. Your sister in Christ - Val | ||||||

Newwine my friend, I have studied Jonah in depth. I see you think your view is the correct one and that is fine. We will just disagree on this topic. We have each voiced our views so lets move on. Your sister in Christ - Val |

329 | Did Jonah die in the belly of the fish? | Jon 2:2 | Val | 211938 | ||
Hello Newwine my friend, I was looking at Jonah where he himself says in verse 3 "You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the floods surrounded me; all your billows and your waves passed over me." Please look up the defination of "billows". Also at this time the description of waves pounding him or just the sheer weight of the waters and possibly the undercurrent took him under the surface of the water. He went down as you see in verse 6. In Jonah's distress and sure death he calls to the only One who can help him, the Lord who rescues him. In Chapter 3 verse 3 Jonah begins his walk through Ninevah. As a result of Jonah's proclamation Nineveh believed God verse 5. Then down in verse 10 God sees their repentance and relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it. In Chapter 4 verse 8 Jonah wished death for himself. Because of the context I rendered Jonah depressed. Earlier he had cried out to the Lord to save him. Now he is so downtrodden he wants to die, verse 8 "It is better for me to die than to live". In the book of Jonah nowhere does it say God distroyed Ninevah instead it says quite the opposite verse 10. Your sister in Christ - Val |

John my friend, since you spoke that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that Jonah was dead I would like see your research, cross references, how they relate to Jonah and how you came to that conclusion, otherwise I would recommend that we agree to disagree. I have done an in-depth study of Jonah and from beginning to end I had questions regarding the text. I would not call that vacillating. That seems to be an insulting remark. Its is not a sin to disagree on difficult passages. It is a sin to attack a persons view and make insulting remarks. I know that is not what you meant. When making dogmatic statements the burden lies on the person to thoroughly explain their concluding statement with cross references, historical and cultural background and provide the consensus within the christian community for the statement.

John my friend, could you supply a few verses from the old and new testament which you are using as cross references to make your point that Jonah was dead and raised to life. If you know of the specific show in which Dr. McGee changed his mind I would like to listen to it. Otherwise there are thousands of his teachings it would be impossible to find. I would like to see or listen to where he retracted his view on Jonah. Since you use this as your proof I would like to see the evidence. Also the many exceptions you noted as evidence to prove your point I would like to see those as well. Since you are dogmatic in your teaching it is expedient that you provide the references to which you cite. Otherwise you are being too vague for one to follow your evidence.

334 | Did Jonah die in the belly of the fish? | Jon 2:2 | Val | 211911 | ||
Azure, I agree with you. The verses say he sank to the bottom of the sea;"Into the heart of the seas, And the current engulfed me" It was a violent storm and the sailors were afraid they were going to die. That is why they cast Jonah into the sea. The fish the Lord prepared actually saved Jonah from drowning. It may have taken the whale the 3 days to take him back to land. I just love the way God uses animals, fish, and nature to accomplish his purposes. I can imagine Jonah saying after he got on land, Ok I don't want to go back in there again. He headed straight for Ninevah. Then he got depressed because the people repented. | ||||||
335 | Did Jonah die in the belly of the fish? | Jon 2:2 | Val | 211904 | ||
I have heard Dr. McGee say that research has proven that a man can live inside a large fish, whale I believe as they have a compartment in their stomach which contains enough oxygen for the person somehow to live. He said that Jonah's appearance was probably miraculous to the people of Ninevah and that helped his testimony to them. Being affected by the stomach acid of the stomach his appearance would be a testament to God's power. Although the bible doesn't say definatively if Jonah died there I have considered that God is able to raise men from the dead but I now have the opinion that Jonah did not die because he repented and the whale spit him out and Jonah continued the work the Lord had for him to do. Considering the passages that it is appointed for men once to die and then after that the judgement as well as the fact that one cannot repent after death and come back to life it would seem that these obvious passages would explain this difficult passage. I am sure Jonah had a lot of time to think in that dark smelly place for those three days. I think one fact of the story is that Jonah was to preach to a people that he actually hated. He did not want them to repent but wanted them to face judgement for the cruelty they imposed on their enemies in war. I think this is a great testament to those who think they have gone too far in sin and think there is no chance for them to be saved. Christ offers salvation to those who will repent and believe in Him. What a wonderful hope and healing for these types of people. It also sheds light on our attitudes and begs the question are there people Christ wants me to share the gospel with who I think should face judgment not redemption? Will I be obedient to proclaim the gospel to them? | ||||||

Hello kamschoolgrad, welcome to the forum. In replying to posts we mark our posts as a note and not a question. My answer to you in regards to the text of Deuteronomy is to ask you a question. Who was the passage in Deuteronomy addressed to? If you answered the nation of Israel. You would be correct. Therefore since it was addressed to the nation of Israel it would not be for your family. When we read the old testament we are reading a text that has been translated into English. The Hebrew and Greek languages have bible dictionaries that give further explaination as to the meaning of the words translated into English. These definations give us insight into the full thought of the original author. Sometimes when we read a bible text it may appear to mean one thing but when we look deeper into its meaning in the orignal language we see it has a deeper and different meaning in how we would apply it today. That is why a lot of people make fun of the old testament. They have no idea what the meaning and symbolism represent. There is a passage that says that in the later days there will come mockers of God's word. Its wrong to mock God and His word and to question God's integrity. If I did not know the answer to someone's question I would point them to God's character. He is holy, pure, righteous, just, creator, sustainer, eternal. I could go on. Do you see my point? | ||||||
