41 | Revelation told by the stars? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 19540 | ||
At the risk of getting stoned!! I heard Perry Stone (no pun intended) explain part of the theory of understanding revelation based on star constellations. It is not astrology but rather indicators that would point to the season of Jesus’ return. He mentions something about Virgo and Serpent. I assume he is referring to the woman giving birth in Rev 12 and the dragon or serpent standing at her feet ready to devour the offspring. He said (I didn’t hear it all so I could be very wrong) that when the star constellations line up with the serpent or dragon constellation under Virgo we could expect to see a fulfillment of this prophecy. Has anybody heard of this? Can you refer me to a website that intelligently explains this? |

42 | The different theories of Creation | Genesis | EdB | 19537 | ||
What are the names of the different theories of Creation. I'm not talking about evolution but rather, instant creation (7days), gap between Gen 1:1 and Gen 1:2, and extended day (day equals more than just a day) and any others? Also if you could point me to a web site that explains any of these I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks EdB |

43 | Book of Jasher | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 17705 | ||
I really hesitate to bring this up, but I’ll trust God to see it goes no further than He wants it. Is anyone familiar with the Book of Jasher mentioned in Joshua 10:13 and 2 Sam 1:18? I know there are various copies on internet but, none to me seem even remotely reliable. If anyone is knowledgeable about the Book of Jasher would you let me know. EdB |

44 | Company resources are they free? | Ex 20:15 | EdB | 15386 | ||
Let me ask another based on Norrie's response. Is it all right to use a company computer or any company resource for personal or non company activity without obtaining prior permission? |

45 | Should we be using company computers? | Ex 20:15 | EdB | 15284 | ||
Yesterday Labor I noticed a definite lack of forum activity. I pray it is because we were spending time with family and friends and not because we didn't have access to a computer at work. Question should Christians be using computers at work for things like the forum? Should Christians be doing forum type activity on company time? |

46 | Should the Bible be taken literally? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 15033 | ||
A while back I asked the question should the Bible be taken literally or should we bring in outside knowledge that may effect the meaning of the text. Everyone insisted on examples and everything I could think of was so inflammatory that the examples ended up being debated rather than the question that precipitated it. Yesterday on the Radio one of my favorite radio preachers (no I will not identify him as that knowledge could taint this thread so please if anyone else heard this please do not use his name.) This preacher was talking about the Prodigal son Luke 15:11-32, in verse 19 the son decides to return to his father. Luke 15:19 “I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired men." I read this as repentance and humbleness on the part of the son. And I think the rest of the story bears that out. However the Radio preacher said that this shows he still had a harden heart and wanted to come back on his terms. He explained his reasoning this way. In those times there were three classes of servants. Slaves, who had not choices in life, Bond servants that had no choices at work but for the most part were free after, and hired men that could choose their jobs and had total freedom after work. Therefore because this son came back and asked to a “hire men” shows he still wanted to do what he want to do. I say God did not intend man to analyze this story to that extent but rather wanted us to take it at face value. The son thought he knew best, went out blew everything he had, nearly starved, realized his dad wasn’t so dumb after all, and returned home. Knowing what he had done he said he wasn’t worthy of being a son again but would he please be allowed to work for room and board. I see total repentance, the radio preacher saw manipulation and rebellion. I’m not questioning the accuracy of the radio preacher analysis what I’m questioning is, should it have been done in the first place. Should we read this passage and take it for what it says without analyzing the son's motivates or must we analyze each point and find “hidden meanings”? What about the rest of the Bible? My question is: Is everything we need to know contained in the Bible? And if it is, then if when we try to use outside knowledge which effects the meaning of a passage are we doing a dis-justice or not? Does your answer apply in all situations? If not who chooses when it should apply and when it shouldn't? Be careful how you answer here, it may effect more than you think! |

47 | Why Papal rule all wrong? | NT general Archive 1 | EdB | 12764 | ||
I’m probably going to open a can of worms here but let me anyhow. There has been great debate over the Catholic church and the Pope and his speaking infallibly, check thread Evangelicals and Catholics. Briang made one point that has me thinking, the Pope is head of the Catholic church and what he says the Catholic church does, call it what you will that is what it nets out to be. Is that any better or worst than what Evangelicals have? They may make the decision based on a vote by the congregation, a presbytery, council of elders, pastor or whatever but the end result is the same what ever the decision is you treat it as gospel and live by it. It is not open to discussion and you either accept it or leave and find another church/denomination. In a sense you could say their decision is infallible as far as the group/denomination/church goes. Then there is a argument is the Pope from the line of Peter, I think not, but does it matter? He was chosen to head the Catholic church how does that make him any different than the governing board of any denomination, or Pastor of an independent church? We call the Pope the antichrist but he isn’t condoning homosexuals like the governing board of Methodist are. He is not condoning abortion as the governing board of the Presbyterian are. What makes the Papal form of government all wrong and everything else okay? This is not an endorsement of Catholicism in any shape form or fashion. |

48 | Are you talking exorcism or binding? | Matt 18:18 | EdB | 10312 | ||
Appleseed are you talking about freeing someone that wants free from a demon, or are you talking about binding Satan from a situation? Then yes we have the power of attorney to use the Name of Jesus Christ and by that name demons must flee. If your talking about binding Satan from some situation your talking the foolishness of the yell at Satan and make him afraid crowd. . |
||||||
49 | Tell me who unties them? | Matt 18:18 | EdB | 10276 | ||
Appleseed If we can in fact bind Satan and the demons tell me who keeps untying them? I have heard people bind the spirit of darkness over a situation, yet nothing changes. Until the next personn comes and says we have to bind whatever. The word says nothing about binding Satan but rather it says James 4:7 Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. |

51 | Is God so shortsighted? | 1 Tim 2:11 | EdB | 9428 | ||
Without trying to start a war is it fair to assume both yours and JVH0212's answer to my question is yes? Are you both saying I couldn't hand a pagan a Bible written in his own language, leave him alone to digest it all and then come back expecting him to have correct doctrine because God allowed some important details out? |

52 | Is God so shortsighted? | 1 Tim 2:11 | EdB | 9418 | ||
Prayon I have created this separate thread so as to not eliminate your question/comment. Let me give one point for you to ponder. I think we all agree the Bible was for all people, all societies, both past and present. Do you really believe we must understand a Biblical society to get the full revelation of the scripture. Your hypotheses is that we don’t take into consideration the situation of the time therefore we come to the wrong conclusion. Would God be so short sighted not to include an important piece of information, without which we would make a wrong conclusion? |

53 | Tree of Life can we say? | Gen 3:22 | EdB | 9407 | ||
Thanks to Steve, Nolan and THECROSS for your answers. I totally agree. Man as created was not going to live forever, he needed to eat from the tree of life to continue living. Can we then say physical death was not part of the curse of sin but rather a result of it? We don’t die because of the fall in the garden we die because we are separated from God’s presence and therefore from the ‘tree of life’ which would sustain life. I say this not to appear unorthodox but rather I see modern Christianity putting so much emphasis on the phyasical aspect of the fall. Modern man is focused on his physical situation rather than his spiritual situation. I think the adversary has successfully deflected Modern Christianity’s focus from the spiritual reality of the fall to the physical results to miss the spiritual truths. The reality of the cross gets lost as they seek after more physical fulfillment. Modern Christianity looks to God to make man wealthy, healthy, and wise. To feel good about himself, confident in his own capabilities and depend on his inner strength. Many look forward to eternal life and riches rather than a intimate relationship with God. |

54 | Some more questions? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 9401 | ||
Good word of encouragement. But the fact remains Mormons, Jehovah Witness, and other can motivate their people to get off the pew and out into the world. Why don't Christians have that same type of motivation? Jesus gave us the command to “Go”. Don't we have an obligation to do just that? Jesus said if you love Me you will obey Me. Does this lack of willingness to “Go” speak also of our lack of love for Christ? | ||||||
55 | Explain this to me | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 9356 | ||
Explain this someone. I just picked up a newspaper article, almost the full page. The headline reads, “PROMPTED BY THE SPIRIT” with a sub title of “Twelve young missionaries, many from the Midwest, go in pairs, knocking on doors throughout Carrollwood and declaring their beliefs.” Carrollwood is an upscale suburb of Tampa Florida. Then there is a 6x10 picture showing two young men on their knees praying. Under the picture is the caption. Elder Tyler Bigler, left and John Shields, right pray in their apartment before making rounds as missionaries for the Mormon church. The two have paid the church 10,000 dollars to serve two-year stints as missionaries in Carrollwood. The encourages all young men in the faith to serve.” What I would like explained is how the Mormon church is able to convince these young people to serve and even to pay 10,000 dollars to do so. When my wife could not convince any of the ladies in our church to go with her to a small apartment complex to invite the ladies that live there to upcoming ‘Ladies Fellowship.’ Yes I know Mormons make works part of the salvation experience and all. Why don't we see even a glimmer of this type of commitment in Christian church especially considering the last chapter of Matthew Jesus says, “GO”. |

56 | Hank your feelings on Ruth? | Ruth | EdB | 9352 | ||
Hank, you know its funny, I understand the Kinsman-redeemer relationship and can appreciate it but somehow seeing Boaz as a type of Christ has never set with me. I know many people hold to this, but I could never get it to square in my spirit. I see this more of a story of a righteous man and woman fulfilling the obligations that others placed on them. And as a reward for this righteousness God permitted them to take a place in the lineage of Jesus. What are your feelings on it? | ||||||

60 | Consider Rev 11:19 | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 9282 | ||
This is a good question, now consider Revelation 11:19, where we clearly see an Ark of the Covenant in the heavenly tabernacle. Many feel this is the original from which Moses patterned his Ark from. Ex25:9 That may be, but could it not also be the actual Ark that Moses constructed, kept safe in Heaven to one day return to earth? I would see no reason for an Ark of the Covenant to be in Heaven since the Covenant was between God and man. God needed no reminder of the covenant, but man did. Hence he was given the Ark and mercy seat. Now if there is an Ark in heaven could it be that God to preserve it removed the Ark from man’s presence? We see God’s Glory leave the temple in Ezekiel 10 is it not also be possible that God removed the Ark and mercy seat at that time? |
