321 | The Gospel the sole means of salvation? | Rom 1:16 | meusing | 39391 | ||
Rom 2:11 (Amplified) For God shows no partiality [undue favor or unfairness; with Him one man is not different from another]. [Deut. 10:17; II Chron. 19:7.] 12 All who have sinned without the Law will also perish without [regard to] the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged and condemned by the Law. 13 For it is not merely hearing the Law [read] that makes one righteous before God, but it is the doers of the Law who will be held guiltless and acquitted and justified. 14 When Gentiles who have not the [divine] Law do instinctively what the Law requires, they are a law to themselves, since they do not have the Law. 15 They show that the essential requirements of the Law are written in their hearts and are operating there, with which their consciences (sense of right and wrong) also bear witness; and their [moral] decisions (their arguments of reason, their condemning or approving thoughts) will accuse or perhaps defend and excuse [them] 16 On that day when, as my Gospel proclaims, God by Jesus Christ will judge men in regard to the things which they conceal (their hidden thoughts). [Eccl. 12:14.] Note he is talking about doing the Law. he goes on to show Rom 3:23 Since all have sinned and are falling short of the honor and glory which God bestows and receives. If others talk about the unfairness of God it is because they have heard the good news or redemtion, and rejected it, wanting to go their own way, not God's. |

322 | HOW COULD JESUS BE A DESCENDANT OF DAVID | Bible general Archive 1 | meusing | 39389 | ||
Jesus did not say we would be judged and punished acording to our worth. John 5:22 Even the Father judges no one, for He has given all judgment (the last judgment and the whole business of judging) entirely into the hands of the Son, Note, not the Holy Spirit John 5:23 So that all men may give honor (reverence, homage) to the Son just as they give honor to the Father. [In fact] whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, Who has sent Him. John 5:24 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the person whose ears are open to My words [who listens to My message] and believes and trusts in and clings to and relies on Him Who sent Me has (possesses now) eternal life. And he does not come into judgment [does not incur sentence of judgment, will not come under condemnation], but he has already passed over out of death into life. John 3:18 He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation--he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ's name.] |

323 | HOW COULD JESUS BE A DESCENDANT OF DAVID | Bible general Archive 1 | meusing | 39386 | ||
Luke, and John show that Jesus, the Word of God became man. He was not the Holy Spirit. Nor is He the Father. Luke 9:12 says nothing about any incarnation. If you are refeing to verse 30, Moses and Elijah were men in their own right. Jesus is the Creator they were part of His creation. In respose to the other part of the question, His mother Mary was descended from David through the line of Nathan, so, so was He. So, Rom 1:3 is true He was born the seed of David according to the flesh. When Joseph (descended from the royal line) married Mary (descended from the leagal line) He gave to Jesus the royal title of descendant of David which He had leagally through His mother. |

324 | The Gospel the sole means of salvation? | Rom 1:16 | meusing | 39380 | ||
Ezek 18:23 Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord, and not rather that he should turn from his evil way and return [to his God] and live? Ezek 18:24 But if the righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds which he has done shall be remembered. In his trespass that he has trespassed and in his sin that he has sinned, in them shall he die. Ezek 18:25 Yet you say, The way of the Lord is not fair and just. Hear now, O house of Israel: Is not My way fair and just? Are not your ways unfair and unjust? Job 35:2 ....or are you saying, My righteousness is more than God's, |

325 | Threshing floor? | 2 Sam 24:16 | meusing | 39377 | ||
The threshing floor was considered Holy because the Angel of the LORD halted there. It is believed that this threshing floor later became the foundation for the temple. also where Abraham obeyed God being willing to sacrifice Isaac there because he believed God's promise so much that he knew that to keep His promise God would have to raise Isaac from the dead. John Gill on his comment on Gen 22.9 said : Mount Moriah. Maimonides (f) says, "it is a tradition in or by the hands of all, that this is the place where David and Solomon built an altar in the threshing floor of Araunah, the Jebusite, and where Abraham built an altar, and bound Isaac on it; and where Noah built one when he came out of the ark, and is the altar on which Cain and Abel offered; and where the first man offered when he was created, and from whence he was created.'' And so the Targum of Jonathan, and other Jewish writers (g). (f) Hilchot Beth Habechirah, c. 2. sect. 1. 2. (g) In Pirke, ut supra. (c. 31.) |

That is Paul's question : Now how can they call on one in whom they have never believed? How can they believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how can they hear unless someone proclaims Him? It is up to us to be faithful to Christ in proclaiming the Good News. |

327 | What Book ofthe bible means going forth? | Ex 1:1 | meusing | 39370 | ||
John Gill explained : This book is called by the Jews Veelleh Shemoth, from the first words with which it begins, and sometimes Sepher Shemoth, and sometimes only Shemoth. It is by the Septuagint called Exodus, from whom we have the name of Exodus, which signifies "a going out"; see #Lu 9:31, because it treats of the going of the children of Israel out of Egypt; and hence in the Alexandrian copy it is called the Exodus of Egypt; and so the Syriac version entitles it the second book of the law, called "the going out"; and to the same purpose the Arabic version. |

328 | The Gospel the sole means of salvation? | Rom 1:16 | meusing | 39367 | ||
In your reply to Searcher, you quoted the reference he gave you in answer. The Gospel is the message of the means, NOT the means. Here is Rom. 10:8-17 in modern English : 8 No, the word is very near you, ON YOUR OWN LIPS and in YOUR HEART! It is this word, which is the burden of our preaching, and it says, in effect, "If you openly admit by your own lips that Jesus is the LORD, and if you believe in YOUR HEART that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." For it is believing IN THE HEART that makes a man righteous before God, and it is stating his belief by his own lips that confirms his salvation. And the scripture says: "Hos-soever believes in him shall not be disapointed." And that "whosoever' means anyone, without disinction between Jew or Greek. For all have the same LORD, whose boundless resources are sufficient for all who turn to him in faith. For: Whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved. Now how can they call on one in whom they have never believed? How can they believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how can they hear unless someone proclaims Him? and Who will go to tell them unless he is sent? as the scripure puts it : How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things! Yet not all have responded to the gospel. Isaiah asks, you remember, LORD, who hath believed our report? FAITH, YOU SEE, CAN ONLY COME FROM HEARING THE MESSAGE, AND THE MESSAGE IS THE WORD OF GOD. Philips p.328,329 |

329 | The Gospel the sole means of salvation? | Rom 1:16 | meusing | 39350 | ||
C. H. Spurgeon when He saw the Alps wrote Yet in all these how great soe'er they be, We see not Him. The glass is all too dense And dark, or else our earthborn eyes too dim. Yon Alps, that lift their heads above the clouds And hold familiar converse with the stars, Are dust, at which the balance trembleth not, Compared with His divine immensity. The snow crowned summits fail to set Him forth, Who dwelleth in Eternity, and bears Alone, the name of High and Lofty One. Depths unfathomed are too shallow to express The wisdom and the knowledge of the Lord. The mirror of the creatures has no space To bear the image of the Infinite. It is true the Lord hath fairly writ his name, And set his seal upon creation's brow. But as the skilful potter much excels The vessel which he fashions on the wheel, E'en so, but in proportion greater far, Jehovah's self transcends his noblest works. Earth's ponderous wheels would break, her axles snap, If freighted with the load of Deity. Space is too narrow for the Eternal's rest, And time too short a footstool for his throne. Even avalanche and thunder lack a voice, To utter the full volume of his praise. How then can I declare him? Where are words With which my glowing tongue may speak his name? Silent I bow, and humbly I adore. Treasury of David p.89 |

331 | The Gospel the sole means of salvation? | Rom 1:16 | meusing | 39306 | ||
The Gospel is the good news OF salvation. It is based on historical Facts 1. Christ died for our sins 2. Christ was buried 3. Christ rose from the dead 1 Cor. 15:1-5 if these three facts are not true, we have no gospel. (Barnhouse) The Source of the Gospel is God. (Heb 1.1) there can be no Gospel, not even a Gospel of God, apart from that which concerns His Son, the LORD Jesus Christ. Calvin in his comentary on Rom 1:3 said "This is a remarkable passage, by which we are taught that the whole gospel is included in Christ, so that if any removes one step from Christ, he withdraws himself from the gospel. For since he is the living and express image of the Father, it is no wonder, that he alone is set before us as one to whom our whole faith is to be directed and in whom it is to center. " |

332 | Does God punisg women for divorce? | Num 5:31 | meusing | 39191 | ||
I was responding to the question as to whether "God won't punish men for their wrongdoings of any kind? He will only punish women? " which seems to be in the present tense. I was showing we all deserve punishment, men and women. I was just sowing that Jesus took the punishment that we (men and women both) deserve on Himself. You are right, the context is about a woman caught in adultary and a jealous husband. Throughout the prophets the LORD uses the type of the unfaithful wife (Israel and Judah) and the jealous husband (the LORD) to show cause for punishment and also mercy (Hosea). But, I was responding to the ' God won't punish men, he will only punish women ' question. |

John 4:6 And Jacob's well was there. So Jesus, tired as He was from His journey, sat down [to rest] by the well. It was then about the sixth hour (about noon).7 Presently, when a woman of Samaria came along to draw water, Jesus said to her, Give Me a drink-- He was tired and thirsty. |

Eph 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [do not offend or vex or sadden Him], by Whom you were sealed (marked, branded as God's own, secured) for the day of redemption (of final deliverance through Christ from evil and the consequences of sin). He is called the HOLY Spirit OF GOD. |

We are all guilty before God and deserve punishment, Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. |

John 19:28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished (ended), said in fulfillment of the Scripture, I thirst. [Ps. 69:21.] Ps 69:21 They gave me also gall [poisonous and bitter] for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar (a soured wine) to drink. [Matt. 27:34, 48.] It means that he was thirsty. |

338 | is God and Jesus are one person? | Heb 1:8 | meusing | 39124 | ||
Please read the verses that I quoted Jesus is equal to the Father, He voluntalily took on the form of a servant. that is what submission is. Please read this verse. Phil 2:6 Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained, 7 But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being. 8 And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross! John 1:1 clearly said He (the Word) IS God. Phil 2:6,7 say that He is equal with the Father yet he submitted Himself. That is what the verses say. so, for the third time : Jesus is God the Son, not God the Father. they are equal yet separate persons - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The Bible says they are equal John 5:23 So that all men may give honor (reverence, homage) to the Son just as they give honor to the Father. [In fact] whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, Who has sent Him. |

"...The grave of Jesus forms the grand terminus of all. But the resurrection takes us beyond this terminus, and constitutes the imperishable basis on which God's glory and man's blessing repose forever. The moment the eye of faith rests on a risen Christ, there is a truimphant answer to every question as to sin, judgement, death, and the grave. The One who diviely met all these is alive from the dead, and has taken His seat at the right hand of the Majesty in the heavens" "God the Father, drew the plan, God the Son laid the foundation, and God the Holy Ghost raises the superstructure; and on this superstructure appears the inscription, "through grace, by faith without works of law."

I agree. I was just replying to a question that demaded that we worship on the seventh day and no other and was antaganistic to any who worshiped on the first day of the week. He called it a day of sun worship. I say it is a day of SON worship. I was just comenting that is our priviledge to assemble on the first day. |
