42 | Opposition of Holy Spirit? | Mark | John Ryals | 229847 | ||
Matthew Henry states, "Many of those who reviled Christ on the cross (which was a 'blaspheming' of the Son of man, aggravated to the highest degree), found mercy, and Christ himself prayed, Father, forgive them; but this was 'blaspheming the Holy Ghost, for it was by the Holy Spirit that he cast out devils, and they said, It was by the unclean spirit. By this method they would outface the conviction of all the gifts of the Holy Ghost after Christ's ascension, and defeat them all,after which there remained no more proof, and therefore they should never have forgiveness, but were liable to eternal damnation. They were in imminent danger of that everlasting punishment, from which there was no redemption, and in which there was no intermission, no remission. I would like to further comment on the question: First I believe Mark 3:22-27 is leading up to Mark 3:28 30.Verse (22) states "the scribes came down from Jerusalem," to me this means they came with purpose. To proselyte, to discredit Christs' doctrine, or just to prove they were more knowledgeable; could have been some of the possibilties. But when Jesus asked in verse (23, 'How can Satan cast out Satan?" I believe this prevented them from being successful with their agenda. After a series of more 'Parable thoughts' in verses 24-27 this is when Jesus' explanation of what the unpardonable sin included. To create more in the discussion thread; Verse (28 ) states, "Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherwith soever they shall blaspheme;" Is this not saying that 'blaspheming, can be forgiven? I pray my following comment will expand this discussion. I believe (only a Believer who has ceased to believe, in other words, ceases to evidence Faith in Christ, and a professor of religion, such as these Pharisees, etc., can blaspheme the Holy Spirit; an unsaved person, who has made no profession of faith, cannot blaspheme the Spirit; and when one does blaspheme the Holy Spirit, there will not be any desire to serve Christ, as there was no desire by the Pharisees, tc., to serve Christ) and this is an example of displaying 'Blasphemy'. |

43 | Forgiving Blaspemies! | Mark | John Ryals | 229897 | ||
Help me to undertand please! Jesus said in verse twenty-eight, "All Sins", and 'Blasphemies' In verse twenty-nine he says, "but is in danger of eternal damnation", (29)"But he who shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness" Does this not mean that I 'CAN' ask for forgiveness so I won't be in danger of eternal damnation? Is there an emphasis on, 'BUT' in vers 29? And does not, "Hath Never forgiveness" mean that you haven't repented? In Christ, John Ryals |

No need to apologize or have any gulity feelings. I believe it is God squeezing the grape to make Poured-out wine! | ||||||
46 | Forgiving Blaspemies! | Mark | John Ryals | 229911 | ||
Let me apologize if I offended you but this is type of thread is the very reason I chose to sepearate for a while just a few months ago. This type of Confrontation discussions is the fuel Satan needs for seperation of Love betwewen Christians! So I will excuse myself again and Pray for direction from the Holy Spirit. But remember this brother, 'The Greeks seek wisdom." Don't assume you know all and others do not! May the Holy Spirit Guide You! | ||||||
47 | Exactly what does Mark 15:42 mean | Mark 15:42 | John Ryals | 228147 | ||
Hello, It is my understanding, that it was approximately 3 p. m.----the evening would be at about 6 p.m. so they had about three hours to work, because("it was the preparation")meaning to prepare for the passover which would begin at 6 p.m. that evening. The High Sabbath of the Passover Feast, which was Thursday, and not the ordinary weekly Sabbath, which was Saturday [Lev. 23:6-7]; Jesus was crucified on a Wednesday, and not on Friday, as many think, spending three full days and nights in the Tomb, and rose on the first day of the week, even as He had said He would do, [Matt. 12:40]. With Humbleness, John Ryals |

48 | Exactly what does Mark 15:42 mean | Mark 15:42 | John Ryals | 228178 | ||
I'm 'THE PEOPLE' which entered the Wednesday note. I have considered, ('when the women went to anoint Jesus on the first day of the week,'); which would have been Sunday, Correct? Have you considered Matt. 12:40. If it would have been Thursday at 3:00 p.m., ('The Cruxifixion'); then that would have only been, two days, that Jesus was in his tomb. Matthew 12:40; "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the Earth." This is my reason for the entry of Wednesday being the day of The Cruxifixion. Our 3:00 p.m. would only be three hours before the start of the Jewish Thursday at 6:00 p. m.. I believe I'm correct in saying their days start at 6:00 p.m. our time, Correct? If I am misunderstanding what time of the day their day starts, please provide the correct information, so I may recalculate my entry of Wednesday being the day of Cruxifixion of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. May God Bless You, John Ryals |

51 | Can just anyone be a preacher? | Mark 16:15 | John Ryals | 227988 | ||
Ephesians 4:7-11 7) But unto every one of us is given Grave according to the measure of the Gift of Christ. 8) Wherefore He said, When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave Gifts unto men. 9) (Now that He ascended, what is it but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10) He Who descended is the same also Who ascended up far above all Heavens, that He might fill all things.) 11) And He gave some, Apostles; and some, Prophets; and some, Evangelists; and some, Pastors and Teachers. Our Lord does the calling. Verse 11 has reference to the fact that not all who are called to be Ministers will be called to be Apostles; this applies to the other designations as well; "Apostles" serve as the de facto leaders of the Church and do so through the particular Message given them by the Lord for the Church. "Prophets" stand in the 'Office of the Prophet', thereby, foretelling and forthtelling, the "Evangelists' are to gather the harvest, the "Pastors" are the 'Shepherds', and the "Teachers" are those with a special Ministry to teach the word to the Body of Christ; "Apostles" can and do function in all of the callings. I pray my opening statement,"Our Lord does the calling," helps with your question. May God Bless You! |

Dear Biblicalman: Sorry for the confusion, but my question was to 'soconfusedinthisworld', I wanted to know how old were the children she was going to be teaching in Sunday School? Should have structured the question better. Sorry! |

53 | Jesus was born in 4 bc | Luke 2:7 | John Ryals | 227967 | ||
The scripture I chose only supports the birth of Jesus. As to the answering of your question: B.C. stands for 'Before Christ', and A. D. means 'Anno Domini' which is a Latin Translation which means, 'in the year of our Lord.' | ||||||
54 | Please expain John 1:1 in layman's terms | John 1:1 | John Ryals | 230067 | ||
"In the Beginning" (does not infer that Christ as God had a beginning, because as God He had no beginning, but rather refers to the time of Creation [Gen 1:1] (The Holy Spirit through John descibes Jesus as the 'Eternal Logos'). "And the Word was with God" means that Jesus was in relationship with God,and expresses the idea of the Trinity. 'And the Word was God,' meaning that He did not cease to be God during the Incarnation; He 'was' and 'is' God from eternity past to eternity future. This very Person was in eternity with God; there's only one God but manifested in three Persons---God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. | ||||||

From my research, Basically there are two schools of thought on this matter . One is Calvinism and the other is Armenianism. Both are based on Scripture, but their conclusions diverge dramatically. 'Calvinism emphasizes the Sovereignty of God and His Divine Prerogative. Armenianism stresses man's free will and responsibility. The doctrine of unconditional eternal security accepts the Calvinistic perspective and states that once a person has been saved and accepts the atoning Blood of Jesus Christ, he can never be lost afterward no matter what he might do. The Armenian view is that man has a free will and it is the free will of man that determines his condition. According to his free will, he determined to accept Christ when the Holy Spirit moved on his heart. As well, free will coupled with the Grace of God maintains his position in Christ; however, if he so desires, God forbid, he can, through his free will, elect to cease believing what got him in, which is Faith in Christ and what Christ did at the Cross. If that happens he will revert from a saved condition to a lost condition. | ||||||
57 | Is my friend still going to heaven? | John 3:16 | John Ryals | 227953 | ||
First let me say that God determines who goes! Now in reference to your question, I like the scriptures in the Book of Revelation where John is sending the letters to the churches. (Revelation, Chapter 2, verses 1-7.) 1 Unto the Angel of the Church of Ephesus write; These things says He who holds the Seven Stars in His Right Hand, Who walks in the midst of the Seven Golden Candlesticks; 2 I know your works and your labour, and your patience, and how you cannot bear them which are evil: and you have tried them which say they are Apostles, and are not, and have found them liars: 3 And have borne, and have patience, and for my Name's sake have laboured, and have not fainted. 4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against you, because you have left your first love. 5 Remember therefore from where you are fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto you quickly, and remove your candlestick out of his place, except you repent. 6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate. 7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the Churches; To him who overcomes will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God. You notice In the first part of the letter the Angel is saying He knew their good works but in the latter part of the letter he was not so satisfied and was instucting them to return to their 'First Love." If we fall away we must repent and return to our Lord and Saviour. FYI: The 'Nicolaitans taught the doctrine of 'Balaam" and "Balaams'" time era began in (B.C. 1451). Balaam was the Son of Beor a man endowed with the gift of prophecy, (Numbers 22:5). The word "Nicolaitanes" means "laity-conquerors." They are Preachers who exploit the people instead of Spiritually developing them, which all false doctrine does. The Lord hates this, and so should we! Try to get friend to come back to "The Cross of Christ!" On a personal thought I am having a hard time believing she believes in Christ making such ludicrous claims. May God Bless you and give you strength to approach your friend and try to get her to return to Church. |

58 | Is my friend still going to heaven? | John 3:16 | John Ryals | 227979 | ||
Matthew 6:24 states, "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon," (This is flat out, stated as, an impossibility; it is total devotion to God, or ultimately it will be total devotion to the world."Mammon" is derived from the Babylonian "Mimma," which means "anything at all"). May I make another suggestion, You, knowing the provided scripture, and it's exegesis, If you can just get your friend in an enviroment of believers, then just let the Holy Spirit do his work and you can just continue to show 'Love.' Thereby fullfilling the 'Law of Christ'. May God Bless You, John Ryals |

59 | believing and being born again? | John 3:16 | John Ryals | 227983 | ||
Not an argument note just to expound on your final question: "Is more than belief required for one to be saved?" James 2:19 states; You believe that there is one God; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble. For an explanation of why I shared this with you, there are millions that hold a type of Faith which there is no saving Grace. Simply believing there is a God says no more than what demons believe. "Proper Faith' will accept the Lord as one's Savior. Again, this is not an argumentive statement, just some thoughts to expound on. May God bless You John Ryals |
