41 | Does God force His will on us ? | Mark 1:12 | jeremiah1five | 241653 | ||
Have you ever walked into a room and feel an oppression so thick and oppressive that you had to leave. Animals can sense them, too. Dogs especially can sense a great deal of attitude/countenance from their master. There are only angels and man in creation. If they were angels why the need to coin a new word to describe them in the NT? Why not just use "angelos?" Makes no sense. | ||||||
42 | Does God force His will on us ? | Mark 1:12 | jeremiah1five | 241652 | ||
Yes, I understand that. But where is the correlation that Satan is referred to as Lucifer? I don't see it. Please, identify "Satan's minions." What are they? Angels? Another created being? |

43 | Does God force His will on us ? | Mark 1:12 | jeremiah1five | 241651 | ||
Hi Doc. I don't believe Lucifer (aka Satan) is out loose doing anything. Man doesn't need him. The sin nature in man is enough evil in the world. There is no free will in any of God's created beings. Even the creation of man was such that in the Mind of God He knew the billions and trillions of evil thoughts one single person has in one lifetime compounded that with the billions of lives that have existed on the planet since Adam, and STILL God saw the result that was favorable to Him and would bring Him glory He went ahead and created angel and man just the same. | ||||||
44 | HCSB what's your opinion? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241639 | ||
Am I a born again Christian baptized into the Body of Christ by the Holy Spirit? (1 Cor. 12:13) Are you? Have I ever said I was a KJV-Only person? I use the KJV because I believe it is the Authorized - by God - Version for the English-speaking people. One cannot get higher than a king. All these committees that group together in order to bring more confusion to the Church don't have any authority to make a translation for the English-speaking people. God is a God of order. |

45 | Does God force His will on us ? | Mark 1:12 | jeremiah1five | 241638 | ||
Just a note....was it really Lucifer in Job, Matthew, "throughout the gospels" as you say? As for demons...I believe they are attitudes, not angels. The gift of discerning of spirits in the Church is a gift of the Spirit to discern the source of spiritual activity and phenomenon. The gift can only discern these three spirit-ual beings in creation- 1 the spirit of elect angels 2 the spirit of fallen angels 3 the spirit of man 4 the Spirit of God. These four and no more. Your thoughts? |

47 | Question about meaning of turning cheek | Matt 5:39 | jeremiah1five | 241623 | ||
QUOTE: "The 'eye for eye' philosphy would be to strike them back and avenge one's self of this affront. But, Jesus said to turn to him the other check as well and endure the insult again." RESPONSE: If this is what you say Jesus is teaching, then Jesus would be teaching amiss and teaching a change in the Law (of Retribution.) Any change in the Law would "destroy" the Law, and if this is the interpretation then the religious leaders would have this to accuse Jesus of (changing, or teaching a change in the Law), but there is no accusation in the Scripture that the "Jews" understood this as a change. What I believe is that Jesus is upholding the Law (of Retribution) of eye for eye and strike for strike. Jesus can't be changing the Law for any change in the Law would "destroy" the Law and this is tantamount to Jesus "destroying" Himself for the Law prophesied most about Israel's Kinsman-Redeemer. |

49 | Mark 1:12 ekbaino not ekballo, | Mark 1:12 | jeremiah1five | 241621 | ||
Most likely from the Received Text (Textus Receptus.) But what is interesting is that the Spirit "threw Jesus out like a ball" into the wilderness from the city. That act kinda removes the idea the Holy Spirit is a "Gentleman," don't you think? I read "force" and "intent" and "direction" in this act. And speaking from experience I've had this "Gentleman" do the same to me several times in my walk. Not complaining, mind you, but when it does occur I've learned to enjoy the direct guidance of the Lord and know that what happens will be for my edification and to accomplish His will and purpose (despite not always knowing at the time what that purpose may be.) | ||||||

51 | willful nonpayment of debts? | John 14:15 | jeremiah1five | 241614 | ||
I think you err when you say that taxes are a debt. And then you apply school loans gym membership contracts, cell phone and home phone contracts hospital services and court judgments with taxes which confuses the issue. At the time of the founding of this Republic and the writing of the US Constitution the Colonies were at war with the British Crown and the inclusion of taxes in the Constitution (Art. 1 Sec. 1) was to fund the war against England "[A]nd to do other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do," and it should be said here that the inclusion of taxes in the Constitution was a necessity that may not have been supported by the people back home in the Colonies had there been no war. At any rate, it is a contradiction to equate freedom and independence with collection of taxes for any purpose. Taxes are not a debt but a levy, a fee or a charge for one purpose or another. Applying this to Biblical doctrine, if Christ was the Substitutionary sacrifice in my place and He paid the penalty for sin and God accepted that payment, then I am free of the debt (which requires my death). Still, I will one day die (if the LORD tarries) for I am still under the penalty for sin - death. But this is my default end for man was not created eternal, nor was I born eternal, and instead this alone shows my sinful-ness before God even in my justification (not in my sanctification.) If you make a vow to do such and such, then keep your promises (just as your Father keeps His.) But as citizen of this United States taxes are fees and charges that may or may not have won your support when the law was passed in the Document and still in effect. You can study law and the history of taxes in this country and sue the government that taxes are unconstitutional and violate the preamble to that same Constitution, for how you be free enjoying liberty when the application of a taz(es) has been levied against or upon you by the government? That is not freedom. Christ doesn't make you pay taxes in your justification, does He? And it is not impossible to know a heart. All you need to do is be born again, know the Scripture, and listen carefully what comes out of a persons mouth. It always betrays their heart. There comes a time in a believers life that prayer stops and DO[ing] what one already knows is what is necessary. There is a time for everything...a time to pray and a time not to pray...a time to forgive and a time to not forgive... Knowing those times are in the Bible. |

54 | Woman's place in Heaven | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241597 | ||
Hello wdc. Come now, let us reason together, saith the LORD (Isa. 1:18). If I may... Gen. 1:1 the word is "shamayim" which is plural and means "to be lofty" "sky." Gen. 1:6-8 has this "heaven" as under and above - two expanses. This one was created by God but He divided them into under and above - two. The ministry of Lucifer is on earth: Isaiah 14:13 (KJV) 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God - I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: Ezek. 28:14 - If Lucifer is the "outstretched" cherub that "covers" what did he cover? It appears he covered or "outstretched" above the throne or Presence of God on the mountain of God (Jerusalem?), and this would mean he was "hovering" a few inches to several yards above the throne/Presence of God in the first heaven or expanse. The text says he wanted to ascend into second heaven above the clouds (where the planets reside - for some reason). This is the second heaven. Since man had not been atoned in TIME the curtain in the Tabernacle prevented an unatoned person to be in the Holy Presence of God so no one in the OT ascended in death to God but were in another place: the grave - Sheol/Hades or Paradise/Abraham's bosom [generally to the Hebrew mind meant the Presence of God, but not actually IN the Presence of God] Where did Moses and Elijah come from at the Transfiguration? Were they kept in Eden where a cherub with a flaming sword kept it from being entered let alone found? And Paul, did he go to an "expanse" [heaven - third or otherwise,] that was on the planet? Maybe Eden? If He went into the Presence of God Himself then this heaven is not a place, but a Person. As I hold with God creating man sin-ful being that God cannot reduplicate His attributes of nature into created matter, the same follows with a "place" or "location." If third heaven is a place or location, and it is eternal, then God reduplicated His eternal-ness into a location, and again, if one is to possess one attribute of God they must by necessity possess ALL attributes of Deity. To date, I prefer to believe first and second heaven as part of creation. "Third heaven" is not a place, but a Person - God. |

Hi Doc. If that was the case then wouldn't it be translated that way by the KJV scholars that translated the KJV? It would seem the word is only saying that she bare again, not that she conceived again. |

56 | How do you share Jesus with others? | Eph 4:12 | jeremiah1five | 241583 | ||
Here is the Scripture Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV) 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. This command was given to the eleven. They were given specific instruction what to do, an d later the Holy Spirit would bring "other things" to their remembrance of what Jesus said and done that was relevant to their on-going walk with Him. As I said, and as you can read, the command is for the eleven disciples to fulfill. It is not meant for everyone in the body of Christ as the church teaches new believers when they become saved and begin attending fellowship in a good church. However, the Scripture is for [our] training and admonition, as well as for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness (and that righteousness we are trained and instructed in means we interpret the Scriptures correctly and not take specifics from the Word as is found in Matthew 28:19-20 and wrongly interpret them as the church does today (and in the past). However, being that we have the Scripture for our training and admonition and that God speaks to us through His Word by the Holy Spirit if God ever chose to call someone and gift them it will be through His Word, and a person can have the same call and instruction as the eleven, or the can have just the call and another instruction. It depends on the will of God for that person. It is in this that it "goes forward." We are not all apostles with the same call and instruction as the eleven disciples. But that is what the church teaches in general, to go out and evangelize, preach, etc. and they err in this also because they half step. Part of the instruction is to go to Jerusalem, Judaea, Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the [then known world - east - the Orient.] But the church doesn't obey this part of Jesus' instruction to the eleven, do they? (Acts 1:8). So, to interpret this in Matthew and say everyone is supposed to do what the eleven were specifically commanded by Christ to do is error in and of itself, and it is error because they pick and choose what part they want to obey (omitting the go to Jerusalem, Judaea, Samaria part, etc.), and this is wrong too. As you can see from the text Jesus is commanding the eleven to do those things, not everyone in the body of Christ. Are you following me? One can be called to be the royal baker and given specific instruction of whether or not to teach another, it depends on what God and His Christ reveal to the person in the body of Christ. He is the Head and He determines who does what and with what gifts and instruction. We are all parts on the body of Christ. We are not the whole. Our call will be in part, our instruction will be in part, our gifts will be in part, etc. I know of an older brother, a senior, who's only instruction is to speak as led "to the Jew first and also to the Gentiles." I don't know his calling, but I am aware and know what he is to say when in his gift. As long as he is obedient (and I believe he is), then God will use him as the Lord leads. But to go and do and say what God and His Christ gave specifically to another in the body of Christ is to short-circuit your own call and instruction because while one thinks they are supposed to do what Christ gave specifically to the eleven to do and mimic their call and instruction is to be disobedient and Christ cannot use a horse that has no bridle or bit in his mouth. You understand uncontrolled, yes? Mavericks. So, who is really leading and guiding this Christian??? That is what I am saying. We are to be taught by those called to teach. We are to be shepherded by those called to shepherd, we are called to wait on the Lord, to read and study His Word, and when the Lord is good and ready He will reveal to the person (all persons individually) their call, their gifts, their instruction, etc., that they may serve Him obediently and fulfill their part in the body. |

PART TWO Romans 5:12 (KJV) 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 7. If it is the act(s) of sin by which man was made a sinner, then one cannot have the Doctrine of Imputation which declares that imputation is a nature-swap: 2 Corinthians 5:21 (KJV) 21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. if it is our act(s) of sin that made us sinners, then the Scripture might say, "For He [God] made Him [Christ] to be the acts of sin that we might be made the righteous acts of God" which would leave our sin-ful nature still within us and truly offensive to God. The Doctrine of Imputation states that we are imputed the righteousness of God (Peter says "divine nature" 2 Pet. 1:4) and this occurred when Christ was imputed our sin-ful nature (2 Co. 5:21) on the cross and the decree of God that the penalty for sin is death, this is what killed Him. It wasn't the acts of sin that killed Christ, but the sin-ful nature the Holy Child of God was imputed (laid on Him) that killed Him, and if one is to be accurate and honest with Scripture it wasn't sins-many that Christ died for, but sins-ONE that He died for: the sin-ful nature of man in Adam when he was created. John says: "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world" John 1:29 (KJV) in which the word "sin" is singular (meaning ONE sin that Christ died for - and this would mean the sin-ful nature that man was created with because as Scripture says, "there is only One God, there is none like Him, He gives His glory to no one." If God's Elect people were contemplated in the Mind of God as Holy and Righteous [they were], then He contemplated us as Holy and Righteous in Him because there is no death in God, there is no sin in God, then while we were an "idea" in His Mind, it was by virtue of being created with a body formed from dirt/clay, from created matter (by-product) and any "thing" outside of God is sin or sin-ful for the only Person(s) that can stand before a Holy God is God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Christ died twice on the cross for the sin-ful nature of man which was the "default" existence of man because there is only One God, there is none like Him, and He gives His glory to no one. Christ died twice on the cross to atone for the two deaths in man [Adam]. Bear in mind that God is just. God does not lay the penalty of death for sin upon the innocent. If death was decreed by God in the garden for sin, then since the animals did not sin and yet they die. They, too, were created sin-ful, or as the word is defined, "missing the mark" [of the glory of God.] Here is one more thing to consider: we are STILL under the penalty for sin. Cemeteries all over the world testify to this truth. I hop I have answered your statements and questions. |

58 | Why do we have ""Free-Will"? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241579 | ||
PART ONE: Hello Beja, Romans 5:12 (KJV) 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: I used to believe that it was the act of sin by which one is made a sinner, but that understanding did not line up with Scripture. Then that means that if man (hereinto meaning Adam unless suggested otherwise), became a sinner because he sinned, then one would have to have the following as conclusion: 1. man was created holy and/or righteous and sin comes from holy [or that which is holy.] 2. God reduplicated or shared or gave His glory to another (Isa. 44:6; 45:22.) 3. The Law(s) of God are His Commands, and the Commands of God are Law as God means what He says and says what He means, and if it is the Law which shows us to be sinners (Paul said, "I had not known lust except the law said thou shalt not covet" the same can be applied to God's command to man "thou shalt not eat of it..." revealing the existence of a "thou shalt not" in the garden which shows man to be a sinner before he actually performed the act of sin. In other words [applied to man], "I had not known disobedience except the law [God] said 'thou shalt not eat of it.'" 4. If God is the standard by which everything and everyone is judged, and the only two Persons that can stand before a holy God are the Son and the Spirit, then man was eternal BEFORE he sinned and the Scripture saying, "Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever..." would mean man was not eternal and since eternal-ness is an attribute of God and man was not eternal, then in this alone he fell short of the glory of God and Scripture calls this "sin" ["missing the mark."] If man needed the Tree of Life to "live forever" then man was "[fallen] short of the glory of God," or as the word is defined, "sin," or "sin-ful" ["missing the mark," that "mark" being the glory of God.] 5. If man was holy or righteous or eternal (all attributes/nature of God), then man was created with Deific attributes/nature of God [God reduplicated/shared His glory], and if one is to possess one attribute/nature of God then they MUST by necessity possess ALL attributes/nature of God else the man would still fall short of the glory of God for one cannot be half-human and half-Deity. There is no such thing as being "half-pregnant." 6. In Romans 5:12 there is no mention of an act of sin by which man became a sinner, but it does state that by one man [existing, created] sin entered into the world and death by sin..." man would have eventually died even if he did not perform any acts of sin in his life, but that was impossible for the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil did not change man and make him a sinner, the tree only served to give man the KNOWLEDGE of his sinful-ness. |

59 | HCSB what's your opinion? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241576 | ||
Hi Doc. Don't get me wrong, the use of other translations are helpful as I get to see and read how other linguists translate the Hebrew and Greek in their translations into English. I don't have a NASB nor a Holman's nor an Amplified (which I like) but I do have the ASV, BBE, GW, YLT, NIV, LB, NKJV, that I sometimes refer to. I also use a Strong's for assistance in the Hebrew and Greek and sometimes go online for assistance from other linguists for comparison or run into others that don't use a Strong's but maybe a BDB or some other scholar(s) for the same purpose. It's just that when I was first born again (even before that) I had always used a KJV. Later, as I learned more on the Bible I learned that no translation is the perfect copy of the original manuscripts. Even the KJV. But God has used this translation to teach me His Word through the years. |

60 | How do you share Jesus with others? | Eph 4:12 | jeremiah1five | 241575 | ||
PART TWO Acts 13:2 (KJV) 2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. My question when looking at this Scripture is: "What call?" For partial understanding given the amount of information contained in these passages of Scripture we can conclude the LORD said something more specific than what is revealed in general to Ananias (Acts 9:15-16), and Paul's testimony to the crowd (Acts 22:21). Anything the LORD may have said to Paul would have to be verified so that those who were part of the external witness may know that God actually spoke to Paul and was speaking to them in Acts 13:2. I believe the only verifiable way to test this "spirit" manifested through prophecy (Acts 13:1-2) was through the Old Testament Scripture. Acts 13:3 shows there was more time that passed as they fasted and prayed some more. If these things are true, then the command Christ gave to the eleven in Matthew 28:19 and Acts 1:8 was a command given specifically to the eleven, and that today (or after the events in Matthew and Acts) when one is called by God and Christ, God will speak in accordance to the written and revealed Word of God. I am not saying that only the eleven were ever given the Matthew 28:19 command to service, I am saying that this call was not given to everyone in the Body of Christ as it is being taught today, thus making everyone an apostle. But if the Holy Spirit were to ever speak to one of His own today (as is described in Scripture), there will be an internal witness (God speaking directly to His servant and through His Word), and as described in Acts 13:2 an external witness through prophecy that will speak to the church fellowship IF the gift of prophecy in the fellowship is given free rein and is exercised and part of Biblical practice. If one of God's servants were to be called today the Holy Spirit can and may well have used the Scripture in Matthew 29:19 (or Acts 1:8), to get His message across to His servant and to reveal such a persons call to the church as well. There may well be some in the past and some today who may have a similar calling as the eleven, or as Paul, or as Epaphroditus (Phil. 2:25), etc. To test the validity of such consequence when it does happen the Scripture is the basis and the source to which we go in order to verify what God may have said to a person and to a church fellowship. The Holy Spirit (I believe) will not speak anything that is not revealed in Scripture (Jn. 16:13-14). If and when He does speak to His people it will be found to be what is already revealed in Scripture. How will a believer know the voice? Because the words will be the Word of God. Recognize the Word and you recognize the voice. And of course, the Presence of the Holy Spirit will be there glorifying Christ (the Word). If Christ is King, then I believe in the Kingdom Principle. We all have gifts and pounds and talents and calling that is not the same for everyone. Just as there are many parts in the body so there are many members. The Kingdom Principle is that which says that the royal baker does not mosey on into the royal motor-pool, remove the keys to the royal coach and proceed to take the royal coach for a spin. If Christ is King (and He is), then He is the one to appoint in His kingdom who does what and who serves in which way, we do not mimic the gift(s) and calling of another in the body of Christ. We wait to be discipled and when God is ready He will reveal your place in the body of Christ and what gifts and talents He has given you to accomplish that service to Him. We do not interpret Scripture and take a specific command the King gave to one of His servant and make it our own (unless somewhere in our walk the King has spoken specifically to "you." And when one has been given a mission by the King it's best to get out of the way :) (2) This/these are my own understanding and conclusions. |
