3321 | No speaking in tongues, no Holy Spirit? | Acts 2:4 | Searcher56 | 10401 | ||
woman of favor ... again -both passages are examples is the gift of known tongues. -we do not have the ability to do any of these gifts, because we may all choose to be an ear and not not an eye (1 Cor 12:16) -according to 1 Cor 14, which is superior - prophecy or tongues? Steve |

3322 | "The Disciple's Prayer"? | Luke 11:2 | Searcher56 | 10385 | ||
Nolan - I see danger in reciting anything. For it can become meaningless. But, we do need to memorize. It helps here and i life. Steve PS For me, when I pray the Disciple's Prayer, I say ... - Our Father, you are the Father of me and (I list people) - Holy is Your name, one is (I have a list of His holy names) and it is holy because (I give reasons) - Thy kingdom come ... You are my King, I want to increase and promote Your kingdom and return by (reasons) ... |

3323 | No speaking in tongues, no Holy Spirit? | Acts 2:4 | Searcher56 | 10376 | ||
Debbie, yes, without love for God and others we are nothing and breaking the greastes commandment. Tongues is a minor issue. I believe the gift on tongues is speaking in a known language without training (Acts 2:4-13). It has happened today. Satan has copied this gift. 1 Cor 14 says prophecy is better and tongues is a sign for unbelievers, so they can hear the Word in their own language ... if I connect the Pentecost passage right. In order for someone to interpret, they need to be trained and know the tongue being spoken. What language do the angels speak to men? How do we know what language they speak to God and each other? Of all the salvation accounts in the book of Acts, only twice did the new believers speak in tongues - the first Gentile (10:46) and the disciples of John (19:6), so it was not usual, as you (or your denomination) believe. No one has all the gifts, but we all have at least one. If we all chose to exercise our eye gift, we would be in trouble. Did the disciples receive the Holy Spirit before the ascension or at Pentecost? In John 20:22 Jesus breathes on the disciples and indicates that he is granting them the Holy Spirit, which fulfills a promise repeatedly made in John 14-16. Steve PS Sometimes I pray in Japanese, which I learned as a child. |

3324 | Would you of tried to stop His execution | John 19:23 | Searcher56 | 10293 | ||
JVH0212, I know you were not calling me wierd. I did that on my own. It fits in well with my work, as a system/ software test engineer. Anyway, I agree about Mary and John. There were many soldiers around the cross and the city. We do have examples of people dying trying to save their leader, when they death was 99.99 percent certain. But, it was our Savior's time to die ... and nothing was going to stop Him. Steve PS Are we allowed to call you by your given name? |

3326 | Would you of tried to stop His execution | John 19:23 | Searcher56 | 10256 | ||
Ed, Mary, His mother John were there. So why didn't they stop the crucifixtion? They did love Him. Plus there may of been other women. maybe men. Steve | ||||||
3327 | Did God Create Man Mortal? | Gen 1:26 | Searcher56 | 10151 | ||
JVH0212, Then what type of life did the Tree of Life provide? I am asking this again. -If spiritual, -- Did man have need of this tree, in the beiginning? -- Was he not created without sin - since he was not of the seed of man? -- Once man ate of the other tree, was he lost forever? I want you to answer these questions, then decide if the "experts" are missing something, or is it me? Steve |

3328 | Who is responsible for Jesus' death? | John 19:23 | Searcher56 | 10148 | ||
Debbie, thank you for the link. I think victory was won in the Garden, too. He was ready for His last 18 hours or so. Steve | ||||||
3329 | Excommunication applicable for today? | Matt 18:17 | Searcher56 | 10134 | ||
Nolan, I hope it is. Some churches don't kick anyone out and others have the board of elders remove people from the membership roles. There could even be places where the pastor decides who is in and who is out. However, I think the church should apply this passage. - Are will allowed to pick and choose what passages in the NT we follow ... as well as the OT? - 1Co 5 is Paul's direction to kick someone out. - 2Th 3:14-15 also gives instruction about dealing, at the very least, with gossippers and lazy people. I think we need to keep Galatians 6:1-2 in mind. I believe in all three passages the brothers were talked to. Steve PS What do the "experts" think? |

3330 | "Messiah" a reference to Deity? | John 1:41 | Searcher56 | 10131 | ||
Hank, you are right. There were many who were annointed ones. Most Jews are still looking for the Annointed One promised (Dan 9:25-26). However, being the Messiah is about His humanity. I do not think the false ones claimed to be God. If He did not become man, He could not of fulfilled this prophecy, nor the one (Isa 61:1-2) He claimed (Luk 4:16-21). Psalm 2 is about His future, when the kings of the world come against Him. I think the passage in Daniel is too. He did not come as the Conquering One of the physical world. Peter linked Jesus as the Annointed One with Him as Diety, by calling Him the Son of God (Mat 16:16). Steve |

3331 | Was Abraham a Muslim? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 9850 | ||
Questioner, the Bible has the same problem when it is translated into English. Can you read Arabic? If so please read the passages I cited. If not, use a lexicon, as I do, to see what the original says. Steve Butler |

3332 | Was Abraham a Muslim? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 9742 | ||
Questioner, the Quran tells us much about Christ. In Quran 7:158, Muhammad asked people to follow him. Elsewhere in the Quran, Muhammad testified that Jesus was among those nearest to God, held in honor in this world and the hereafter (Quran 3:45). Muslims understand this to mean that Jesus was sinless and all-righteous, something that the early Muslims never claimed for Muhammad. In fact, in several Quranic passages (16:61; 40:55; 42:5, 30; 47:19; 48:1-2) we read that Muhammad was exhorted to seek forgiveness for his faults, that not a single living creature would be left on earth if God punished everyone for their wrongdoing, and that one of Muhammad's military victories served as an assurance of forgiveness of his sins, past and future. It is pointless for Muslims to argue for Muhammad's sinlessness or to compare him to Jesus, whom Muslims consider to be both sinless and alive in heaven, near to God right now. The contrast could be more sharply drawn by pointing out that Muhammad's grave is in Medina today, whereas Christ is alive in heaven with God. In the Quran (2:253; 3:45-49; 4:158, 171; 5:49; 19:33; 89:22) it is noted that Jesus was called the Messiah; He was born of a virgin; He was among the righteous ones - those nearest to God; He received strength from the Holy Spirit; He could give sight to the blind, cure lepers, and raise the dead; He prophesied His own death and resurrection; He was called a Word from God and a Spirit from God; and finally, He is coming back with thousands of angels to judge the world. All these characterizations add up to a powerful picture of a Christ who was more than a prophet, and - on Quranic terms alone - superior to Muhammad. What do you think? Are you a member of the Sunnis, Shias or some other sect? Steve |

3333 | Result of sin physical or spiritual? | Gen 3:22 | Searcher56 | 9738 | ||
Lionheart, I think we are talking about two different things. I want to know about the Tree of Life. I think it is to live forever phyiscally ... based on my previous posts. Steve | ||||||
3334 | Result of sin physical or spiritual? | Gen 3:22 | Searcher56 | 9733 | ||
Lionstrong, you say "First, it assumes man would have died bodily if he had not sinned." I say that because we are all going to die (Heb 9:27) and there was nothing said that Adam and Eve would of lived forever - unless they ate of the Tree of Life. Then you said, "Second, it assumes that man gains knowledge by experience, rather than it being God. " I did not manke that assumption. However, the knowledge gain was not by experience - but, by eating of the tree. Next you said, "Third, which is the point at hand, it assumes that death does not apply to the whole man, body and soul." I was not looking at the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. They did not die phyiscally at the moment, so that tree was about spiritual life and the Tree of Life was for phyiscal. You said, "So man understood the words God spoke to him." However, do you understand all the words in the English language? Until you saw what ti die meant, you did not have a clue. There are somethings that you need an illustration to understand. I never said the Tree of Life condemned. Steve |

3335 | Please explain "double edged sword" | Heb 4:12 | Searcher56 | 9612 | ||
PK1776, Hank and Nolan did well. We also see this a part of the description of Jesus (Rev 1:16, 2:12). When He speaks, He is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Several times we read that He knew what people were thinking. Mark 2:6-9 is one passage. Others may not know what we think, but He does and the Word of God is His speaking to us - we are without excuse ... before or after salvation. Steve |

3336 | Baruch the author of Jeremiah? | Jer 36:4 | Searcher56 | 9539 | ||
Nolan, I just read what the Bible said. So except for the fisrt two verses and the last chapter, Jeremiah dicated to Baruch. I found the same about the letters by Paul, excpet he dicated the entrire letter, except for when he wrote his mark. BTW the people in the beginning may of been those with him when he wrote/ dicated the letter. Steve |

3337 | Joshua or Jesus? | Heb 4:8 | Searcher56 | 9538 | ||
Nolan, Thank you for the additional information. Steve | ||||||
3338 | Is God so shortsighted? | 1 Tim 2:11 | Searcher56 | 9434 | ||
JVH0212, So true. Dr. MacArthur is right. There are cultures without lambs, vines, fish and other things in the Bible. So we have to adjust the words, so they are meaningful. We need to talk their language, without changing the meaning of the Bible. Should the Bible be adjusted to fit the customs of the people? No, beacuse the Greek and Roman cultures were different than the Christian. For example, marriage, master-slave, men-women relationship had to be adjusted to fit it God's way. Steve |

3339 | Webpastor, are you a pastor? | Matt 28:19 | Searcher56 | 9433 | ||
SisterM, I agree with Nolan. He is not being boastful, nor is he attacking webpastor or anyone. Though we were close in times past - but it did take thought in what we said. I read Nolan's post to ask the background. It helps me, and I think him, to understand his point of view. Though if you knew my background and my theology on some issues - they would not match. If you read this thread you will see that I was the one who refuted webpastor. I took what Nolan said and added more Scripture to it. Then when he replied, I gave a reasonable answer. Plus webpastor still has not responded to my question. In closing, I will refute anyone who does is in error, in major theological points. In minor points, I am willing to discuss - but not to a point that will cause hardship. Steve |

3340 | Who killed Saul? | 2 Sam 1:10 | Searcher56 | 9413 | ||
Prayon, 1Sa 31:4 says Saul killed himself. Then in verse 5 says his armor-bearer killed himself. The Amalekite is telling a story in 2Sa 1:6-10. He may of claimed to of killed Saul, with hope of getting a reward. He was close enough to get the crown and armband (vs 10). Instead of a reward, he was executed (vv 15-16). Note that David was battling the Amalekites (2Sa 30) just before or at the same time as Saul was in battle with the Phillistines. Steve |
