41 | Joshua 5:10, what date is that? | Josh 5:10 | benjamite | 35909 | ||
I'm not an expert in dating, as far as exact date. The Passover is in the spring (right around Easter - March or April). I usually date these events from the time of the Exodus (c. 1446 BC). 1446 BC - 40 years in the wilderness (BC counts backwards) so that would put us right around 1400BC. This is the third recorded Passover (cf. Exodus 12 and Numbers 9). Is that what you were looking for, or were you wanting something more specific? In Him, Benjamite |

42 | What does men in Eph. 4:8 mean? | Eph 4:8 | benjamite | 35885 | ||
I don't follow. We might say that "He gave gifts to 'people'". The greek is "anthropois", being the generic term. However, there are a couple points... 1) it doesn't say who got what gift. 2) it doesn't deregulate the usage of these gifts. The regulations are given in passages like 1 Tim. 2, 1 Cor. 11 and 14, among others. In Him, Benjamite |

Does this verse (with the next 3) answer your question? Well, okay I'm not reformer Joe. I checked to see to which post you were referring to, but couldn't find any of your other posts, to understand the context. In Him, Benjamite |

44 | Tabernacle/Sacrificial Animals? | Heb 8:5 | benjamite | 35647 | ||
1. The pattern for the tabernacle was given in Ex 25-27 The golden calf incident happened in Ex. 32. The tabernacle wasn't constructed until Exodus 35 - after the golden calf incident. I hope this helps on the first question, if you could provide specific verses, perhaps they would help to answer the last two questions. In Him, Benjamite |

46 | explain the first four verses of luke 4 | Luke | benjamite | 35642 | ||
Which question do you want to ask? The first four verses of Luke 4 - To show that He was God, Jesus needed to be tempted and be proven sinless. If He sinned, His ministry would be null and void. The first four verses of Luke - The first four verses of Luke indicate that this gospel was a letter written to Theophilus. Although Luke was not an eyewitness of Christ, verse 2 says that his information was given to him by eyewitnesses. Luke, however didn't just take for granted what was given to him by the eyewitnesses of Christ's life, but researched it (v. 3) and wrote it down from start (the birth of John the Baptist in Luke 1) to finish (the ascension in Luke 24). The first four chapters of Luke - Could you be more specific on the chapters? What needs to be explained? In Him, Benjamite |

47 | Why is Me capitalized? | Zech 2:9 | benjamite | 35640 | ||
"From verse 8, we see that the text reads, "For thus says the LORD of hosts..." In my Bible, the quote continues through verse 9 into 10, then picks up again with verses 11-13. It does not refer to Zechariah, but to God. It is interesting to note however that the Lord of hosts (from verse 8) is sent by the Lord of Hosts in verse 9. Do you think that this could possibly be an Old Testament revelation of the Trinity? In Him, Benjamite |

48 | What is the lesson from Lk 18:9-14 | Luke | benjamite | 35637 | ||
What is the lesson? It isn't the tithes and offerings that matter the most. It is the condition of the heart. "To obey is better than sacrifice" 1 Sam. 15:22 (The Pharisee thought he was righteous, but the Bible says that there is no one righteous Ps. 14:1-3; 53:1-3; and Romans 3:10ff.) "God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble" (James 4:6, 1 Peter 5:5) "It is not those who are healthy that need a physician, but those who are sick" (Matt 9:12) "But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness" (Rom 4:5) That seems to be the lesson I get from these verses. What kind of audience will you have? (Perhaps that will help with the illustrations.) In Him, Benjamite |

49 | would like to know more on these words | Rev 20:1 | benjamite | 35555 | ||
Gog and Magog are places named for people (and some might see Gog as the ruler of Magog - Ezek 38) I believe them to be somewhere around Russia. "Millennial" refers to the future earthly reign of Christ on the earth, see Rev 20:1-10. Called "millennial" because here in Rev 20 it is given the length of 1000 years. See also Isaiah chapters 11, 60-66, and Romans 8:18-22. In Him, Benjamite |

50 | What does this verse mean?Mark 16:16 | John 3:18 | benjamite | 35531 | ||
There is a lot to be said about baptism. (So please forgive the length.) First, notice the contrast between "believes" and "does not believe". Unbelief is what condemns. In Scriptre, water baptism usually went along with belief - note Acts 8:36ff. What does "baptized" mean? What kind of answer are you looking for? In the Greek (the original language) the word is baptizo (in other words, different people will say different things - sprinkling, emmersion, etc.). My understanding of early church practice is that it meant imersion. See Mark 10:38-39, I think that in that passage Christ is speaking of His death. What does water baptism symbolize - Rom 6:3-4, "baptized into His death" (In my opinion, immersion is a better picture.) Depending on your background, baptism can mean a lot. I know of some who, when they got baptized, were shut off from their family, because baptism was seen as a stand against their heritage. I hope some of this helps, I would reccommend doing a search on "bapti" (without quotes) in either the New Testament or the whole Bible, to see how it is used in the various places. (this would give you baptism, baptize, baptized, and baptist (as in "John the")). I would also encourage you to look at those verses which do not link baptism with belief. (John 3:16; Acts 16:31; among others.) In Him, Benjamite |

51 | Where are the people of Dan 11:32 in NT? | Dan 11:32 | benjamite | 35126 | ||
According to two distinct commentaries, Daniel 11:21-35 refer to the time of Antiochus IV Epiphanes - during the time of the Apocryphal Writings - I believe in the Maccabees (c. 175-150 BC). 11:36 then begins the description of the Antichrist's career. In Him, Benjamite |

52 | Is sanctification a joint effort? | Bible general Archive 1 | benjamite | 34674 | ||
Hello Again Zach, I just chimed in on your "Limited Atonement" discussion, elsewhere. 1) I think the answer to this is "Yes" and "No" 2-4) Positional sanctification - we are justified (declared righteous), Romans 4:25; 5:9; 1 Cor 1:2; Heb 2:11 (complete) Progressive sanctification - Philippians 1:6 "He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus..." (incomplete, cf. 1 Thess 5:23) 5) If we have the ability to be holy apart from God's help (1 Peter 1:15-16), then Romans 3:10ff isn't true. Eph 2:10, "We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." In my mind, the answers to your questions are found in the scriptures given, without much more comment from me. (However, since you cannot read my mind, feel free to ask for further clarification if you would like it.) In Him, Benjamite |

53 | Is Limited Atonement Bibical? | NT general Archive 1 | benjamite | 34672 | ||
Hello Zach, I will answer your question, but I will say that this will never be resolved here. It is too easy for emotions to get in the way (for those on all sides). I do not intend to persuade you. I only want to present my view. (Do watch yourself, you are not at fault, but you aren't the first person to bring this up.) I do not agree with those who hold to particular redemption (aka "limited atonement"). I base this on verses like John 3:16; Romans 5:6; 1 John 2:2; et al. I do, however see strong Biblical support for the other four points. The definitions come primarily out of "The Potter's Freedom" by James White (good author, and I thought the definitions were good, but I disagree with his view of Particular Redemption). Total Depravity - Man is dead in sin, with every aspect of his being affected by the fall, unable to save himself. (Romans 3:10ff; Ephesians 2:1) Unconditional Election - God's choice is not based on anything man has done, but on Himself, alone. (Romans 9:15-16,18) Limited atonement - I touched on why I disagree with Particular Redemption at the top. Irresistible Grace - Luke 14:23, John 6:44. Note that God "compels" them to come in. "nobody comes to me unless he is drawn by My Father" Perseverance of the Saints or Eternal Security - Philippians 1:6 - He who began a work will perfect it until the day of Christ. Romans 8:28-39 - As far as God is concerned, even our glorification is assured, and that hasn't happened yet. (I view "glorified" as being proleptic (past tense to describe something that is assured, even though still future)). I would love to hear your thoughts. In Him, Benjamite |

54 | what is meant by work out your own salva | Philippians | benjamite | 34459 | ||
Philippians 2:12 is an interesting verse. It was pointed out to me that it doesn't say "work for" but "work out". Here, Paul seems to be speaking about obedience. If you are saved, show it. You represent God, not yourself. What do you think? Benjamite |

55 | How is the end really going to happen? | Bible general Archive 1 | benjamite | 34005 | ||
Hello, I don't know if, or when, you'll check this site again. Much has been said here since you asked your question. (As of this writing, not even 24 hours ago.) Was it too much? I don't know. I know I have said quite a lot. If it was too much, I'm sorry. The subject matter itself can be a bit overwhelming, (much less all the posts here - I know I got carried away). I would encourage you to read your Bible. Evreybody has an opinion, and Van Kempen, Irenaeus, LaHaye and Jenkins, do have their place, (If you haven't seen some of these names yet, you'll see these names in the rest of the posts.) Compared with Scripture, they don't matter (for that matter, neither do these posts). I don't know if this was necessary, but since I haven't seen your name pop up again, I wanted to check back in with you. Maranatha - "Come Lord!", Ben |

57 | How is the end really going to happen? | Bible general Archive 1 | benjamite | 33901 | ||
That is the question, isn't it. What verses pertain to the tribulation. I can give you quite a few, but others will disagree with me. Does human error play a part in the translation? It always does. (We don't have the originals. At least my Greek is sorely lacking. We're still looking "forward" to the end times. (Meaning only that it hasn't happened yet - hindsight is 20-20.) With that said, here's the verses. Daniel 9:27 (Some see a break in between the 69th and 70th week. Even one of the Church Fathers, Irenaeus, saw this as "yet future" from his time.) Other verses, I Thessalonians 4:13-5:11, note the change from the first person "us" and "we" to third person "they" and "them". Matthew 24-25 are sometimes seen as referring to the Tribulation period, but others see it as after that time, when the Lord comes back to clean up (at his 2nd coming). Revelation 6:1 through 16:21 (or there abouts) Daniel 11:36 to the end of the book. I do hope these don't overwhelm you these are more than enough to get you started. In Him, and Maranatha, Benjamite |

58 | Is the first resurection in Mat 27:52 | Rev 20:5 | benjamite | 33852 | ||
Matthew 27:52 might be a precursor to the first resurrection, but it is not complete. Look at what happens to the 'rest of the dead" in Rev. 20:11-15. The first resurrection primarily refers to those at His coming, 1 Corinthans 15:23. Daniel might fit into the Matthew passage, but I'd have to do more research. The thing with Matthew 27:52, is that it appears to be local, i.e., only in Jerusalem. (At least, those dead are all that is mentioned.) A couple points to note on the order 1) Christ's resurrection (and those who came out of the tombs - unless these died again, Matt 27:52). 2) (Time gap) 3) His coming (and 1st Resurrection) 4) (Time Gap) 5) The end (and 2nd Resurrection for the "rest of the dead" Rev 20:5,11ff. Others might think differently, but I think that this fits the best with Scripture. In Him, Benjamite |

59 | Thoughts on Romans 9 | Bible general Archive 1 | benjamite | 33523 | ||
Hi Curt, Fancy meeting you here. I guess we can focus our discussion on 9:11-18. Obviously this passage is true. One view is that even though God's "choice" in v. 11,17 happened before Esau and Pharaoh, it was based on God's divine foreknowledge (he knew what they would do and therefore chose on that basis). This seems an attractive position, but it would make it hard to explain v. 15-16, and 18. So you know where I am coming from, I go with the 4-point Calvinist view, as defined below. Total Depravity - Man is dead in sin, with every aspect of his being affected by the fall, unable to save himself. (Romans 3:10ff) Unconditional Election - God's choice is not based on anything man has done, but on Himself, alone. (queue Romans 9:15-16,18) Unlimited Atonement - here's where I differ from the "true Calvinists" and I cite verses like 1 John 2:2, speaking of Christ as the propitiation for the sins of the whole world. Irresistible Grace - Luke 14:23, John 6:44. "compel" them to come in. "nobody comes to me unless he is drawn by My Father" Perseverance of the Saints or Eternal Security - Philippians 1:6 - He who began a work will perfect it until the day of Christ. Romans 8:28-39 - As far as God is concerned, even our glorification is assured, and that hasn't happened yet. (I view "glorified" as being proleptic (basically defined above). This is probably more than you are looking for, but it gives any number of springboards. In Him, Ben |

60 | My question is did Solomon die in or out | 1 Kings | benjamite | 33430 | ||
We must add another verse to "muddy the water" a little. Nehemiah 13:26 says, "Did not Solomon king of Israel sin regarding these things? Yet among the many nations there was no king like him, and he was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel; nevertheless the foreign women caused even him to sin." God loved Solomon, despite what all Solomon did. I guess this speaks more of God's specific relationship with Solomon (instead of the other way around), but I thought it deserved mentioning.
