361 | is jesus god? | 1 Cor 15:28 | ebrain | 165251 | ||
This question has not come out as I at first wrote it, it was as follows. How can Jesus who is coequal with God, also be subject to God? Jesus said at John 8:24, "unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins". Note. I am convinced that Jesus is God, I have no problem with the Deity of Christ, it is just 1 Cor 15:28, that I have a problem with. |

No it would not be incorrect. The question asked, and the answer given were academic only, and in no way could the information sent be considered as detrimental to a persons standing before God. Please explain what was your reason for asking this question?. |

364 | was Jesus "the Word"? | John 1:1 | ebrain | 165210 | ||
Jesus is indeed the Word, or perhaps better, the Word of God, that is to say, God's verbal declaration of Himself to man, as opposed to His written revelation of Himself, the Bible. You will find it helpful in this context to read John 1:18. 5:19, and 30. 7:16-17. 14:9-10. and Acts 2:22. Jesus is the vehicle through whom His Father was made visible, and spoke. What you must understand of course is that here we are considering Jesus's true humanity, and not His Deity. I hope this makes sense to you, if not, then just ask. Reconciling the Deity, and humanity of the second person of the Godhead, is one of the major problems that Bible students encounter. |

Joseph's action described here at Matthew Ch 1 vs 18-19, indicate that he was not responsable for Mary being with child. Read also the NASB text at Luke 3:23, and you will see "as was supposed". |

366 | What is the difference ? | Acts 2:17 | ebrain | 165144 | ||
Verse 18, is mearly a continuation of v 17, and goes on to the end of v 21. In fact all that Peter is doing is to quote from Joel 2:28-32. To get this into perspective read Acts Ch 2 v 22-41. I hope that this is of help to you. In Him. Edwin Brain. |

367 | Is "come as you are" in the bible? | Matt 11:28 | ebrain | 165098 | ||
Have a look at Matt 19:14, "come as a little child", innocent, trusting, open hearted, without preconcived ideas. I think this is probably what you had in mind. Welcome to this Forum, and may the Lord bless you. Edwin Brain. |

368 | Context versus what is translated. | 1 Sam 25:22 | ebrain | 165037 | ||
I have been told that LXX was available at least 250 years B.C. I do not know of any English Translation before adout the middle of the 2nd Centuary A.D, in outher words at least 1700 years plus years after LXX was in existance. You refer to the Jewish Scriptures, whereas LXX is a Greek Translation of the Hebrew?. |

369 | explain the doctrine of predistination | Rom 9:13 | ebrain | 165035 | ||
Predestination, or their understanding of it is indeed part of Calvinist Teaching, that however is not the point. If you are saying that Calvinism/Arminianism is not to be discussed on this website, then I agree with you wholehartedly, however, Predestination/Election is a Biblical Doctrine, and I see no reason why it should not be discussed here. |

370 | explain the doctrine of predistination | Rom 9:13 | ebrain | 165006 | ||
Thank you Tim, for your post. In my Bible (ESV) John 6:65, reads "no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father". What is the point in saying this, if God calls everyone?. In Romans 8:30, He only calls thoes that He has predestinated, and predestination is as a result of Devine foreknowledge, why say this, if He calls everybody?. All cannot possibly mean all mankind, otherwise the Word of God would contradict itself, and that is impossible. I have no problem with Rom 3:23. At 2 Peter 3:9, the words are "not willing", which means that there is no energy raidating from God pushing people away from Him, and salvation. John 6:37 reads "All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out". What is the point in saying this if God calls everybody, and Jesus never casts anyboby out, in this case all mankind would be saved, and this is clearly not the teaching of Scripture, see below. Matt 7:13-14, clearly indicates that only a few are saved, and that many are lost. As I have said before the Bible does not contridict itself. In Him. Edwin. |

All in this verse menas all without distinction, and not all without exception, in other words all kinds, or sorts of people, not everybody. If it ment everybody, then it would make nonsence of John 6 vs 44 and 65. Continuing now with my last post. John 3:16, and the first 8 verses of this Chapter are better understood against the background of the following verses. 1 Cor 2:14, Matt 19:25-26, and Matt 16:16-18. "Born again" is a spiritual concept, and as 1 Cor 2:14, indicates spiritual things have to be spiritually discerned, and the unconverted are spiritually dead, and cannot understand them. This leads to the problem that humans have as expressed at Mat 19:25, "How then can any flesh be saved", our Lord assures them "That with men it is impossible, but that with God all things are possible". An explanation of just how God does this is illustrated at Matt 16:16-18, where Jesus makes it quite clear that Perer was only able to say "You are the Christ, the Son of the livind God" as a result of direct Devine intervention, and not as a result of "flesh and blood", i.e. human ability. In John Ch 3 Jesus is talking about two kinds of life, physical life, and spiritual life, and the method by which you get into each one, i.e. by birth. Now how did you get into the physical world, well by birth of course, and how much contribution did you make to your physical birth?, non whatsoever, you owe your existance entirly to the activity of your human father. Strange though it may seem your entry into the spiritual world is also by birth, and again you are not able to make any contribution to it, this time it is due entirely to the activity of the one who thereby becomes your Heavenly Father. This is your second birth, the first time you were born of woman, the second time, you are born from above, born of God, and now that you are living in the spiritual world, you can understand for the first time spiritual things, and are able to receive Jesus as your Saviour. To be continued. God bless you all. Edwin Brain. |

My understanding of 1 John 5:1, is that everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ, has been born again, in other words, one has to be born again in order to believe. I do not see how any other interpritation is possible. John 3:16, is probably the most well known of all verses in the Bible, now please tell me how many converts do you think there would be if you were to quote this verse to a crowd of lets say 100 non christians? More later, must close now. In Him. Edwin. |

375 | leader vs king of Tyre | Ezek 28:12 | ebrain | 164903 | ||
King of Tyre refers to Satan, whereas Leader, or Prince of Tyre as it is translated in other versions, refers to a man who might indeed have been from a human point of view King of Tyre, but as Satan is far far more powerfull than a mere human King, this man is for the purpose of this passage of Scripture reduced to a mere Prince as a comparison has to be made between him, and Satan. Therefore to sum up, verses 1-10, refers to a man, whereas verses 11-19, refers to Satan. |

Romans 8:29, tells you that Devine Predestination is acording to God's foreknowledge, but He does not reveal just what it is that He foreknows. No one can respond positivly to the Gospel message, without first being "regenerated" by the Lord, but why it is this one, and not that one, I don't know, and what's more neither does anyone else. One thing you can be sure of is that the judge of all the earth will do right, in fact He is incapable of doing anything other than what is right, and just. |

378 | Paul had problems? No one acts good? | Matt 11:28 | ebrain | 164897 | ||
Hi Lelah-ann, and welcome to this forum. It is concluded that Paul had poor eyesight, possibily myopia, this is arrived at in the following way. If you read Romans 16:22, you will see that Paul did not write this letter, but dictated it to Tertius his Secretary, who wrote it down for him. Now have a look at Galatians 6:11, where Paul indicates that this last part of the letter was written by him personally, "large letters", might indicate myopia. Regarding the additional problems to which you refer, other contributors to this website will I am sure be able to help you. May the Lord bless you Lelah-ann, and keep you safe. Edwin. |

379 | Matt 25:12 not know them?why | Luke 13:23 | ebrain | 164813 | ||
Have a look at Matthew 7:23. where Jesus says "I never knew you", whereas at 25:12 it is "I do not know you". In both cases He is saying, you do not believe in me, you are not saved. It is just His way of saying, I never entered your body in the person of my other self, the Holy Spirit. He is employing the Biblical use of the word "Know" as demonstrated at Gen 4:1, where it is written "Adam knew Eve his wife, and she concived", which refers to the entry by one person into the body of another person. I hope this is of help. Sorry about the duplication, just correcting a spelling mistake. Every blessing. ebrain. |
