401 | The Restrainer - Revisited! | 2 Thess 2:7 | retxar | 17530 | ||
I agree that the restrainer is the Holy Spirit or the Church. I lean very much toward the church because vs7 says "taken out of the way" not "gets out of the way". The church would have to be "taken out of the way", but the Holy Spirit would need no help. Also, the Holy Spirit cannot remove His presense from the Earth as some have said, because: 1. He is omnipresent 2. There will be a great work of the Holy Spirit done on earth after the a-christ is revealed. However, "taken out of the way", does not have to mean the Holy Spirit's presence would be removed from Earth, just that His restraining power upon the a-christ would be lifted. Anyway, I'm staying with my first answer (c). Good teaching, bro retxar |

402 | Can we agree? | Hebrews | retxar | 17522 | ||
I question my taste and selectiveness by jumping in the middle of this thread! Man, it's hot in here! I don't watch much TV, period, but when I do, it is usually Christian, but I admit that's not a whole lot, so I'm not on top of the scene by any stretch of the imagination. I don't guess I'm tuned in on the same channel as you are talking about :-). I don't pay much attention to the antique news published about people who have been in the public eye for a while. If I did I would have to count all as heritics because ANYONE you can name who has done or is doing a work for the Lord, including you and I, could be on the list, if ANYONE so desired. There's plenty of dirt to go around! People even throw it on God's Word, so mere men and women are not immune! You do what God has called you to do, bro, but I think He is telling me to get out of here and get some air. Jesus Saves, fixes, mends, repairs, and restores! God bless, retxar |

403 | Can we agree? | Hebrews | retxar | 17461 | ||
OK. I was just going by what I saw. I know nothing about the other stuff you brought up. It just seemed to me that Kelkat was saying something different than what your post was addressing. I have never even heard of the teachings you are talking about. I don't know if you are talking about current beliefs or, as I have saw so many times, a 10 year plus statement someone has made in error, and later refuted. I think it would be wise to make sure what you are saying here is what is currently believed and taught. In Christ Jesus |

404 | Can we agree? | Hebrews | retxar | 17435 | ||
Please don't twist what a brother/sister has said here. Kelkat did not say satan got anything from man. Clarify with Kekat, but I think in your haste to rebuke, you read something into what was actually said. Go back and read again. It seems to me Kelkat is saying man's sin was what opened the door for satan to become ruler of this world (John 12:31,John 14:30,John 16:11,Eph 2:2,Eph 6:12,Col 1:13,1John 4:4, 1John 5:19) and under the authority of God who is all powerfull as Kelkat stated and you confirmed. Forgive me for butting in if I have mis-understood either of you here. In Christ Jesus, retxar |

406 | Did Jesus spend 3 days in hell? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 17154 | ||
Good teaching here, bro! Jesus was glorified on the cross not in the grave! When He said “It is finished” He meant ”It was finished”, NOT “I going to hell now to get beat up some more!” I agree with what you said of Jesus going to Paradise and declaring the Good News (1Pe 4:6) and then took the captives to heaven (Eph 4:8). What's your thoughts concerning Acts 2:31 that says “His soul was not left in Hades”? How or does that tie in with 1Pe 3:19 that says “He went and preached to the spirits in prison”? How or does that tie in with Phi 2:10 that says “at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those UNDER the earth”? Does this mean Jesus went to Hades, along with going to Paradise, and proclaimed the Gospel? Thanks, retxar |

407 | who did Cain marry? who will kill him? | Deut 29:29 | retxar | 17150 | ||
Sorry, I didn’t realize your lack of knowledge of “who did Cain marry” was a situation of such perishable consequences. I know it may be tough, but I don’t really think you will perish over it! Try to hang in there my friend! Actually, contrary to what you said, I DID supply scripture that answered your question, even if it did not support my wise-crack of an answer for this old, tired, dead end, and utterly worn out question. Deu 29:29a “ The secret things belong to the LORD our God”. Look again, maybe you will see. Here’s the deal I would like to make with you, if it sounds OK to you. In the future I will try to answer all your questions with solid, scriptural support, if, when you wish to call me a “fool” again, you will also supply solid scripture that you see allows you to do so. I’m kind of skiddiest of that “hell fire” stuff Jesus warned us about in Mat 5:22 myself, but you make up your own mind. In Christ Jesus, retxar |

408 | what does rev6.6 refer to | Rev 6:6 | retxar | 17012 | ||
This is referring to the hard times of famine for those who are left to endure the great tribulation. The ingredients needed for a loaf of bread will cost them a day's wages. Jesus is coming soon! retxar |

409 | How did the sins of adam and eve differ? | 1 Tim 2:14 | retxar | 17011 | ||
1Ti 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. Eve was deceived, Adam was not. Adam was not deceived because he KNEW what he was doing! Therefore, we received the curse of sin thru Adam, not Eve (Rom 5:12). Because of the headship that God set up from the beginning, God confronted Adam in the garden (Gen 3:9) and ultimately held him responsible for both his sin and Eve's. retxar |

410 | Unbaptized children | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 17009 | ||
You asked "if baptism isn’t water baptism (which I obviously lean towards) then what is it and where are the scriptures to show it?" Did you not read my post to you a few days ago that I gave to you to show that each time "baptism" is spoken of in Scripture that it is not always speaking of water baptism? I gave you 10 verses or so that speak of batism that can not be referring to water baptism. Is there ANY verses I gave that you think are referring to water baptism? I don't like reposting but I will repost the part I am referring to bacause I don't really think you saw it, as you are still asking for Scripture that speak of any baptism other than water. Repost: Eph 4:5 declares one baptism as you have quoted. However, Heb 6:2 says the doctrine of BAPTISMS not baptism, right? Look at Mat3:11b, Mat20:22-23, Mar1:8b, Mar10:38-39, Luk3:16b, Luk12:50, Acts1:5b, and Acts11:16b. Can we agree that none of these references mean water baptism? So, can we agree that the Word declares more than 1 baptism, as far as number goes? So, what does "one baptism" mean in Eph 4:5? Since the Word declares more than one baptism, as far as number, the "one" here must mean the one baptism that brings salvation. Not the baptism into the body of Christ PLUS water baptism, but baptism into the body of Christ ALONE (1Cor12:13). Jesus Saves! retxar |

The scripture references you gave is strong evidence that water baptism is NOT required for salvation, NOT support that water baptism is a requirement. Eph 4:5 declares one baptism as you have quoted. However, Heb 6:2 says the doctrine of BAPTISMS not baptism, right? Look at Mat3:11b, Mat20:22-23, Mar1:8b, Mar10:38-39, Luk3:16b, Luk12:50, Acts1:5b, and Acts11:16b. Can we agree that none of these references mean water baptism? So, can we agree that the Word declares more than 1 baptism, as far as number goes? So, what does "one baptism" mean in Eph 4:5? Since the Word declares more than one baptism, as far as number, the "one" here must mean the one baptism that brings salvation. Not the baptism into the body of Christ PLUS water baptism, but baptism into the body of Christ ALONE (1Cor12:13). You listed Acts 8:36-38. This is one of the strongest passages I know that shows that salvation and water baptism are 2 different acts, and that salvation is required for water baptism, but water baptism is not required for salvation. In verse 36 the eunuch asks, "What hinders me from being baptized?" Philip answer what would have prevented him from being baptized in verse 37. Then Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." The eunuch responds with, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." This lines up with Rom10:9. Verse 38, Philip baptizes him. Water baptism here could not be the "one baptism" unto salvation, because according to verse 37, salvation had already occurred. Jesus Saves! retxar |

413 | what is the oil in the lamps mean? | Ex 27:21 | retxar | 16452 | ||
The lamps were symbolic of God's people; the church. Example of lamps being the church: Mat 5:14 You are the light of the world. Rev 1:20 ....the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches. Oil is symbolic of the Holy Spirit. The lamps were the only light in the tabernacle and were to be trimmed and filled daily with special prepared oil. God’s people are the light in the world and we are to be constantly trimmed and re-filled with the Holy Spirit. In Zechariah chapter 4, Zechariah had a vision about the lampstands in the temple he had been commissioned to rebuild. He saw lampstands that had a never ending supply of oil. Zec 4:6 says “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” Says the LORD. Might and power here are referring to our own mental, physical, and materialistic capabilities. God is saying any work for Him will only be accomplished by the Spirit of God working through His people. Jesus Lives, retxar |

414 | Do you understand Islam vs. Christianity | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 16373 | ||
Thanks EdB. So Moslem would be as we would say Christian and Islamic would be as we would say Baptist, Methodist, etc., right? OK here's another question from the un-informed (that sounds much better than stupid!). You said, "Incidently Islamic followers by definition belong to the "Nation of Islam" therefore much of their loyalites are reside there." What exatly does this mean? Are certain middle east countries considered to be part of the "Nation of Islam" or is this just something Moslems say as we may say "Kingdom of God"? thanks, retxar |
||||||
415 | Do you understand Islam vs. Christianity | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 16367 | ||
Sometimes I hear the word Islamic and sometimes I hear the word Moslem. I am going to sound real stupid here, but are they the same thing? I have assumed they were. In Christ Jesus, retxar |

417 | So what is God's vs. Adam's image? | Gen 5:3 | retxar | 16249 | ||
Please consider how these verses speak of all people being created in the image of God. Gen. 9:6 "Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed; For in the image of God He made man. 1Co 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God Col 3:10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him Jam 3:9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Thanks, retxar |

418 | When did disciples receive the Spirit? | John 20:22 | retxar | 16149 | ||
Hi Ray, John 7:38-39 is pretty clear to me. Jesus's Words are quoted in verse 38 and John gives his Holy Spirit inspired commentary in verse 39. The Holy Spirit within Christians is the person of God the Holy Spirit. John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever; (another here means "another" but not another in the sense of being different, but another in the sense of being the same kind) John 14:17 "the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will BE IN YOU. thanks! retxar |
