321 | Who is speaking in Luke 19:27? | Luke 19:27 | stjohn | 217958 | ||
Dear Yen... Even if Jesus had made it clear that He was speaking about Himself in the parable, it would still, by definition, be a second person narrative. Sort of like if I were to say: John said: "thus and such" speaking about something I had said, that is what is called a second person narrative. So, a parable 'cannot' by definition, be considered a first person narrative. I hope that helps. John |

322 | Who is speaking in Luke 19:27? | Luke 19:27 | stjohn | 217954 | ||
Hi Jim, Verse 25 is in the form of a question, so the contextual concept of the parable would not make sense to end on verse 25. Verse 25 being a question, certainly would beg an answer from the nobleman, which is in vv 26-27. Remember that this parable is giving us a picture of God/Jesus judging His servants, so it would also make sense that these words are spoken by Him in the first person in other verses/places found in the NT. I hope that helps. John |

323 | Sodom rebuilt again? EZEKIEL 16:53-55 | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 217951 | ||
I'm sorry, I have no idea what you are asking. What about what? Can you please be more specific? | ||||||
324 | Sodom rebuilt again? EZEKIEL 16:53-55 | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 217949 | ||
It's difficult to know if this passage is literal or allegorical. If you look around you, you might say, Sodom has already been rebuilt. | ||||||

Dear unction, You have a right to your opinion, as does saveedsence1980, but you don't have a right to attack his opinion, nor do you have a right to attack him personally. He did not attack you, or your opinion, and only asked you to please reread, and, perhaps reconsider your preconceptions. Please show some grace. John |

Okay, Doc, You don't have to rub it in. :-) I was one of that bunch. :-( John |

328 | Why is the ground declared holy? | Ex 3:5 | stjohn | 217877 | ||
Hi Cindy, Welcome to the forum! The post you are replying to is from 02/20/04 and the person who asked the question visited the form for one day and hasn't posted anything since. So, you probably wont here anything back from them. :-) By the way, the ground was declared holy by God. If God says something, it is true. God said it was holy, so it was holy. We don't really need any other explanation. :-) I hope you enjoy the forum! :-) John |

329 | Tithing before Mosaic Law | Gen 14:20 | stjohn | 217799 | ||
Saved, Yes, you did respond to the original post. I must say I'm a little lost as well. What does that have to do with Azure's query in the original post? Could you please expound from a scripturally based perspective of what you are espousing? |

Dear Sister Azure, Amen and amen. I just came from the wood behind the soup kitchen were I work, and the thing I love about some of those people (homeless drunkards) is that they get that; they know that they have no hope but that is in Christ, and what they do have is from Him, even though it isn't very much. Many of them are saved, but only as if by fire. My prayer and my goal for them is to remind, and perchance, convince them that they are grieving the Holy Spirit. And my goal for the others is to give out the word so the Spirit of God will convict their heart. Much prayer is needed. Sorry for getting off track here, and for not keeping to the subject at hand. Seems a bit far off tithing. :-) John |

Dear saved... Welcome to the forum! FYI if you click on any given username you'll see in their profile when the last time they posted was. This user hasn't posted since 02 so you'll probably not hear from them. You have posted some good biblically based posts by the way. Would you please tell us a little something about yourself by filling in the user profile? :-) Thanks! John |

Dear Azure, Did you notice that Jacob put himself in the position of the one doing the bargaining, after, God had already promised him these things, without, requiring anything from him? This indeed shows the condition of the heart of, Jacob the schemer, doesn't it. It wasn't until much later in life that Jacob began to see the light and understand it was only by the grace of God that he was blest by welth and not by his own crafty bargaining. :-) John |

Dear Mike, It takes a big man to admit when he is wrong, and it is a rare thing indeed to see. I'm proud and happy to see you are that kind of man. I haven't been around the forum long, but I have been around long enough to know that it doesn't happen too often. And I've also been around long enough to have made a few mistakes myself that I had to recant. It didn't take me long though to find out if I said something that was not Scriptural, I'd get it from every direction! And I'm glad of it too, because I've learned a lot since coming to this forum. We need to be careful not to think we've arrived at some lofty place of all knowledge though, because we are always learning, and I expect I'll make a few mistakes in the future too! The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man is he who listens to counsel. Prov 12:15. Shalom and God bless John |

336 | The Suffering of the Church | Acts 8:2 | stjohn | 217629 | ||
Dear Mike, The Bible tells us throughout it's Holy text that the discipline and suffering of the saint's decreed by God is for our good. The story of Joseph rings out this truth in his reply to his brethren when they were frightened of his reproach for their evil deeds. Mans intentions are evil. God in his sovereignty, disciplines us for our good. " But Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in God's place? "As for you, you meant evil against me, [but] God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive. "So therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones." So he comforted them and spoke kindly to them." Gen 50:19-21 Joseph learned this lesson well, as should we. And again the writer of Hebrews says: "and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, "MY SON, DO NOT REGARD LIGHTLY THE DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD, NOR FAINT WHEN YOU ARE REPROVED BY HIM; FOR THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES, AND HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES." It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom [his] father does not discipline? But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Hebrews 12:5-8 Not that it says: "HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES" There are many, many such texts throughout the Bible that teach us about God working in the lives of His own through suffering. Though suffering comes our way -by God's sovereign decree and perfect decisions- God does not do evil. This concept of all suffering being evil that you have is of man, and not God. Where did you learn these things? The Bible in no way teaches us that suffering received from God is evil. And He is indeed in charge of all things. To say otherwise diminishes His sovereign power, disparages Christ, and elevates man. John |

David, Amen. Not too far at all, Brother. Far to many, don't go far enough, and we end up with a, washed-out, weak tea of a gospel being taught from far too many a pulpit. And, the unfortunate end result is, we sadly end up with a bunch of washed-out weak tea Christians. John p.s. Many future blessings to you and your lovely (bride to be) Jennie. May you bare up well under the frustrations and tribulations of the world. May the sun always shine in your garden, may the wind be at your back, may the road home always be down hill, and may you be in Heaven, twenty minutes before the Devil even knows you are dead. |

Hi David, Thats sounds legitimate to me brother. No problem. :-) I'm looking forward to meeting your brother, if he's anything like you. We could sure use more users with sound doctrine that are able and willing to teach. Blessings to you, sir. John |

David, I think you'd do yourself well in straitening out the double identity issue. Lockman may revoke your right to post if you don't. Please familiarize yourself with the TOU before you post again, if you haven't already done so. It looks like Doc beat me to the punch and sent you the link to John Piper's website. :-) Do listen to his bio on Luther, John does an excellent job! You may also enjoy reading a short bio on Luther at the link below, It's less then 30 pages, so it's not very comprehensive, but it does have some pretty good info. Enjoy! http://www.tlogical.net/bioluther.htm John |
