41 | Acts 16:33 and infant baptism. | Acts 16:33 | Huron | 125066 | ||
Interesting angle, but I'm not sure that Peter, Paul, and the rest of the Apostles endorsed, or even allowed people to baptize themselves for their loved ones. Actually, it's a little unclear exactly what Paul meant in this verse. In any case, as far as I can tell, it's the only time in the NT that that phrase is used. Huron |

42 | Threatens to leave if believer attends | 1 Cor 7:15 | Huron | 117506 | ||
This is in the United States. The spouse would know if the believer went to church. I think you are right about talking to a counselor. |

43 | Threatens to leave if believer attends | 1 Cor 7:15 | Huron | 117259 | ||
Yes, we are talking about a spouse. The spouse tends to threaten to leave whenever a situation that demands some cooperation/communication comes up. In this situation, the believer explained to the spouse before marriage that he/they would be going to church at least twice a month. They didn't go for a while due to various factors, but now the believer wants to attend. The spouse told the believer that they would leave if the spouse attended church. Should the believer attend and let the chips fall where they may? Huron |

44 | Reconciling Rom 8:39 with Heb 10:26 | Rom 8:39 | Huron | 116605 | ||
I'm comfortable with that. I think that it is a reasonable position when you look at the verses mentioned along with Luke 8:13, John 10:28,29. Where exactly the line is, I guess only God knows for sure. The best we can do is to look at all the related scriptures,say that God will never forsake us, but on the other hand we must be careful to not fall away. Huron |

45 | Reconciling Rom 8:39 with Heb 10:26 | Rom 8:39 | Huron | 116509 | ||
I kicked this topic around a little more yesteday and concluded that maybe this apparent dilemna won't be solved this side of eternity. Reading 2 Pet 2:20, Hebrews 6:4 and Luke 8:13 also seem to support the possibility of leaving Christ. On the other hand John 10:28,29 could be construed to support the other viewpoint. To sum up, I've come to the conclusion that: A) we could leave Christ if we chose to and B)short of leaving Christ, our sin won't separate us from his family. Huron |

mommapbs, Thanks for the insight! I would not have thought of that. Mike |

48 | Who is Jesus' God? | John 3:16 | Huron | 112038 | ||
Tara1 Thanks for your reply. The versions I respect (NASB, KJV) support the meaning I provided. NWT may support your view, but that version isn't widely respected. Seems we have to both go with a version we respect. I would like to use NASB, you would like to use NWT. Let's use KJV. Jesus was very clear. In John 10:30, He said that I and the Father are one! In Isiah 44:6, God says, "Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and beside me [there is] no God" Jesus say's the same thing in Revelation 1:8, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." To prove that this is Jesus speaking, Revelation 1:18 say's, "I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." |

49 | Who is Jesus' God? | John 3:16 | Huron | 111949 | ||
The Bible makes it clear that Jesus is God. Read Hebrews 1:8 that shows the Father talking about the Son "But of the Son He says, "YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER, AND THE RIGHTEOUS SCEPTER IS THE SCEPTER OF HIS KINGDOM" Notice how Jesus is called God. |

I'd like to recommend a book if I may. Recently read Metzger's The New Testament: It's Transmission, Corruption, Restoration, Excellant book! If you want to understand how documents were copied, and how the NT got from the original manuscripts to today, read this book. Regards, Huron |

53 | Water, baptism and John 3:5/Titus 3:5 | John 3:5 | Huron | 110517 | ||
Tim, Thanks for that very illuminating thought! Okay, I guess I have to agree that it is a possibility that has some definate merit. At this point I have to admit that I really, really wish that I knew how to read Greek to dig into this one a little deeper. Some very good points have been brought up on this thread. Now I'm going to ponder Acts 2:38 for a bit. Huron |

54 | Water, baptism and John 3:5/Titus 3:5 | John 3:5 | Huron | 110457 | ||
terrib, Thanks for sharing that point of view. Would Jesus even need to mention being born of the water then to Nicodemus? He was after all, already born physically, so the breaking of the amniotic water requirement was already fulfilled in his case. While I agree your suggestion has to be considered as an optional interpretation rather than baptism, can you understand why I would be puzzled by this? Regards, Huron |

55 | Water, baptism and John 3:5/Titus 3:5 | John 3:5 | Huron | 110454 | ||
Rowdy, I want to make sure I'm hearing you accurately. Are you saying that the "regeneration" takes part in water baptism? Regards, Huron |

56 | Water, baptism and John 3:5/Titus 3:5 | John 3:5 | Huron | 110427 | ||
Searcher 56, I've kicked this issue over in my mind for a few days now and believe that the preponderance of evidence shows that the "water" does not represent baptism. After all,if Jesus was saying that you must be baptized, he would not have been able to say what he said in Luke 23:43 "And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." to the criminal dying next to him on the cross! Think about it - the criminal didn't have time to be baptized. Now, having said that, I'm not sure what you meant when you asked,"In verse 8, "born of the Spirit" (no mention of water this time) is likened to the wind blowing. Is being born of the Spirit and being born by the wind are not two different things? Then why think being "born of water" and being "born of the Spirit" are different?" Regards, Huron |

KJ, How the NT has been preserved and transmitted to us is a fascinating story. I wholeheartedly recommend Metzger's book - although he mainly deals with differences in the manuscripts. There was another book "The New Testament Documents, Are They Reliable?" by F.F. Bruce that I was looking at in Barnes and Noble yesterday. Here is a quick look at it http://www.discerningreader.com/newtesdocffb.html Huron |

8788, It is doubtful that the verse in question was ever written by John. If it had been in the earlier manuscripts chances are it would have been quoted by the early church fathers to defend the Trinity. It was likely added by a well meaning scribe! Huron |

Tim, Thank you! The transmission/preservation of the NT is something that has been catching my attention more and more lately. I love the KJV for it's flow and sound, but if I had to pick one all around Bible translation it would be the NASB. As I'm sure you noticed, I still have more questions than answers! Regards, Huron |

The account in Acts that you are mentioning does not exist in the oldest, most reliable manuscripts. The KJV is good - I have one and use it, BUT it was written over 400 years ago. We have found many manuscripts since then that are much older than those used in the TR, which is what the KJV is based on. If you would like an in depth discussion on this issue, read Metzger's Commentary on the Greek New Testament. | ||||||
