Good point, Brother BradK, also, though it requires a bit of speculation on our part, The Voice of God, from the cloud, giving His, unquestionable approval. ? Just two cents.... God bless John |

Ah! That does bring it to focus! Some say the grossest understatement of all time, is when peter said, "Lord it is good for us to be here!" :-) | ||||||

Hi parpar Thanks for your response. Well, if, (John 6:62) is in reference to the original question, ("During the transfiguration how are we reminded that he could have returned to Heaven at that time?") I'd have to say it doesn't really support it. (John 6:62) is, I believe, in reference to His actual ascension. There's really no reference to His ascension at the transfiguration found in matthew 17:1-8 and I think, It would have to be assumed that, it somehow could be that, He (couldn't) have ascended, in the first place, in-order to ask the question; ("During the transfiguration how are we reminded that he could have returned to Heaven at that time?"). in my humble opinion, I don't mean to be pedantic, that is. (John 6:62) Does however, validate, to some degree; answering the original question with the question; ("But where do we get the idea, that Jesus, "couldn't have" returned to Heaven?") I don't believe Scripture ever infers that He couldn't have returned, though it is clear that, He was here to do the Father's will; and in no way, was He going to return, until that was completed! Matt 26:42 He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done." Thanks again for your input, parpar. God bless John |

Amen Doc, that's just what I've been trying to say. Perhaps I've been too wordy? That's also why I asked: What, is the focus of the study, and, what are it's goals? Personally I don't really trust those kind of questions in the first place. The goal of the like, seems to be to confuse. | ||||||

Hi parpar Yes, I can see were it could (though it may be a stretch) be taken like that in a broad view of the whole counsel of Scripture, but we should be careful to look first at it's immediate contextual interpretation before we take it (outside) of that interpretation. I believe John Gill's expo, on v 62 tells it pretty well. By the way, you can get it free, on line, at, http://www.freegrace.net/gill/ I should point out too, that John was a baptist and, of course much of his exposition reflects Baptist doctrine, though this particular view in v 62, has no seemingly overt nor obscure baptist slant. (Not that I have a problem with that) God bless John --"Ver. 62. [What] and if ye shall see the son of man,.... Meaning himself then in a state of humiliation, and was taken for a mere man, though the true Messiah, and Son of God: ascend up where he was before? for Christ was, he existed before his incarnation, and he was in heaven before; not in his human nature, but as the word and Son of God: and he intimates, that when he had done his work, and the will of his Father, for which he came down from heaven, by the assumption of the human nature, he should ascend up thither again; and which would be seen, as it was, by his apostles; and which would prove that he came down from heaven, as he had asserted; see Eph 4:9; and that his flesh and blood were not to be eaten in a corporeal sense; in which sense they understood him: and he hereby suggests, that if it was difficult to receive, and hard to be understood, and was surprising and incredible, that he should come down from heaven, as bread, to be eat and fed upon; it would be much more so to them to be told, that he who was in so mean and lowly a form, should ascend up into heaven."-- John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible. |

Yes Sir, you are so right! And I really have to wonder again about motivation, when straightforward questions are asked and there is no response! Hmm? .... It'll be interesting to see if Velda, returns, as promised, with yet another, "challenge"! Bless You, Doc. John |

Hi Sister Cheri That does seem to fit very well! Good work! :-) I think somewhere in the cobwebs of my, alleged mind, I've heard of, but not heard, a performance of Stainers' The Crucifixion, accompanied by a narration from Psalms. God bless and Shalom John |

48 | does this sound familiar? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 200723 | ||
The historian Gibbon, (1737-1794), concluded that there were five reasons for the decline and fall of The Roman Empire. Gibbon was by no means a Christian, but this is why he was convinced Rome fell: (1) The undermining of the dignity and sanctity of the home, which is the basis of human society. (2) Higher and higher taxes; the spending of public money for free bread and circuses for the populace. (3) The mad craze for pleasure; sports becoming every year more exciting, more brutal, more immoral. (4) The building of great armaments when the great enemy was within; the decay of individual responsibility. (5) The decay of religion, fading into mere form, losing touch with life, losing power to guide the people. |

Thank you Brother WOS, that really does sum it up! I was looking for some good verse to go along with that but gave in too soon. I just wanted to get it up on the board for all to see where we are headed if we don't turn to God as a country, and I fear it's down hill. Excellent choice of Scripture! Nice to have you back in the mix here at the forum by the way. :-) God bless John |

Thanks bb, fortunately, I didn't need to take my shoes off for that! :-) though you underestimate my curiosity, (and the fact that nerds like research!) I had googled it already, but Hank had an answer first and it seemed satisfactory. I did glean this additional info however from: http://www.deafmissions.com/tally/bkchptrvrs.html Although this is not exclusive to KJV and is just an average compilation. Note: these figures do not account for verses "dropped" from some Bible translations (example: Matthew 18:11). Also, many of the Psalms have title/author information that is not numbered among the verses. Numbered Verses: 31,103 Unnumbered Verses: 137 Total: 31,240 I suppose I'm insufferably boring everyone with, superfluous details. Good to have you onboard here at the forum, by the way, and I appreciate your contribution. :-) God bless John |

55 | could raised from the dead be spiritual | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 201258 | ||
Hi holyours, Welcome to the forum! In relation to your original question, I believe you are correct, that is if I understand what you are asking. Ephesians 2:5-6 does indeed refer to our spiritual rebirth. So in that case, (raised from the dead) is spiritual. "even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus," This should not however, be taken into our thinking when we read accounts of those actually being, physically, raised from the dead, such as in the case lazarus, who was raised from the dead, physically. Although both should be taken literally, one is spiritual, and the other physical. God bless John |

Hi Brother Doc, I think I could use your help, please, it just occurred to me that in Eph 2:5. there is a parenthetical insertion, as we find of course, plenty of instances of them being used in Scripture. This question posed itself: While reading along, I omitted the words in (parentheses), and it seemed to read better to me, and the parenthetical phrase seemed better perhaps, as a side-note, so was wondering if, the words of scripture found in parentheses, in general, are part of the original autograph? Now I know of course that, it is most common to read, words added, for, translation prepossess, in italics. But then, I seemed to remember that you had posted something about the proper understanding of (them) and their use, some time ago at SBF, but alas, it escapes me, and now I'm wondering if you could help me find that information? Thanks Doc. oh, in case I'm mistaken about what they are called, I'm talking about, these things ( ) .... :-) sorry, just one of those stones I trip on from time to time. Sorry too, if I may seem to harp on this a bit much, and many apologies for my redundancy, but something I missed as a youth, was, paying attention when some of these, fundamentals, of education were being given, and then, avoidance of the written word for much of my adult life! Not to worry though, I've learned to be a quick student,... Thanks to Him! :-) Funny what desire will do for a feller. God bless John p.s. I wasn't thinking of using this as a rule of thumb, (i.e. using parenthetical phrasing as a side-note) in my studying, unless it is proper, and, when their use is understood. So was interested in knowing what a proper understanding of their use, would be. |

Dear Brother Doc: That was very helpful! Thank you! Without missing the info in the first paragraph, I especially love your colorful depiction of Paul, in the second, pacing back and forth, lapsing passionately from teaching, into praise and prayer! However well imagined that picture may be; it's a great picture. He certainly was zealous for God! What a blessing it is to have his letters! Thanks again Doc. God bless John |

Dear Justme, Mike; you show a great deal more grace in your last post, then I think I could muster in a month of sundays. You claim that your english is that of an adolescent, but your message comes through clear and clean in this mater, showing too, what is the important thing; love and forgiveness is the wisdom of a mature elder. I'm proud to call you brother, Brother! God bless John |
