41 | Knowledge of Messiah | John 3:1 | YenIsaRap | 218976 | ||
Did the Priests, Pharisee, Sadducees, Scribes, all know Jesus was the Messiah? Is there scripture which would back up such an assumption? YenIsaRap |

42 | universalism? | Luke 23:34 | YenIsaRap | 218957 | ||
Dear Brad I'm sorry, but I have to say I totally disagree with your quote as far as who Jesus was praying for. "Jesus evidently is praying for the Roman soldiers, who were only obeying, but not for the Sanhedrin." This statement of Mr. Robertson's is rather limiting considering the work Jesus accomplished, in reading the prophesy of Isaiah 53:10-12 where Jesus v.10 becomes an offering for sin, v.11 by His knowledge He shall justify many, v.12 He was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. All three of these verses indicate Jesus was asking forgiveness for all mankind, for all time. For even we today do not know what we have done. In Him YenIsaRap |

43 | Free Will | Gen 1:1 | YenIsaRap | 218914 | ||
Dear Doc These two statements 1.) Lost men may choose to do and be all those things which comprise their nature. 2.) Saved men may choose to do and be all those things which comprise their nature. Are you saying? 1.) Lost men cannot choose to do good, because it is not in their nature? 2.) Saved men cannot choose to sin, because it is not in their nature? Gods Love YenIsaRap |

44 | Creation of Angels | Ex 20:11 | YenIsaRap | 218876 | ||
Dear Brother Tim Thanks for your reply You are right of course, I hadn't thought of that. "OOPS " I was concentrating on the 6 days thereby getting lost. Could you then make a comment on the question. If according to Moses, God created Heaven, and Earth within the 6 day period of time, does this mean, there were no Angels until the first day of creation? God Bless Yen |

45 | Creation of Angels | Ex 20:11 | YenIsaRap | 218875 | ||
Dear John Are we told by Moses in the following verse that (Heaven, Earth, Sea and all that in them is.) were all created within the six days? Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is. Since there is the account from Job 38:4-7 it is therefore understood that Heaven, and the angels were created first, but are we to assume it was within the six days of creation? If we have the understanding, that God created everything in a literal six days, and according to Moses, Heaven was created at that time, aren't we then constraining God to TIME? Brother Yen |

46 | Free Will | Gen 1:1 | YenIsaRap | 218872 | ||
Dear Doc In my endeavor to define (free will) for the purpose of qualifying my question. I submit the following definitions on the grounds, they have been the definitions most widely used in the study of the bible. I concede the definitions used, are in relation to human beings, for there are none for angels, but for the purpose of further discussion, and understanding. I ask that these be accepted as valid definitions for the purpose for which they are to be used. If you have definitions for these two words, that would be better suited for this discussion, I ask that you submit them so that they could be used in place of the ones I am posting. The words themselves, and their definitions are part of the reason the question was asked in the first place. Free: Strong's no. G-1658 Unrestrained (to go at pleasure), that is, (as a citizen) not a slave (whether freeborn or manumitted), or (generally) exempt (from obligation or liability): - free (man, woman), at liberty. Will: Strong's no. G-2307 A determination (properly the thing), that is, (actively) choice (specifically purpose, decree; abstractly volition) or (passively) inclination: - desire, pleasure, will. Thank you for your reply Be Blessed YenIsaRap |

48 | Creation of Angels | Ex 20:11 | YenIsaRap | 218867 | ||
In reading Ex.20:11 then comparing it to Gen.1:1 God created Heaven, and Earth within the 6 day period of time, does this mean, there were no Angels until the first day of creation? If this is the case, Satan must have fallen within that same 6 day period, in order for him to have been present in the garden for the temptation of Eve. YenIsaRap |

49 | Who is a Jew? | Acts 21:39 | YenIsaRap | 218796 | ||
Addendum to an old post Romans 2:25-29 25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. 26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? 27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? 28 FOR HE IS NOT A JEW, WHICH IS ONE OUTWARDLY; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 BUT HE IS A JEW, WHICH IS ONE INWARDLY; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. Ephesians 2:11-22 11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

51 | Should "lost" people come to church? | Luke 5:31 | YenIsaRap | 218721 | ||
Dear Edd It is fully understood, Jesus is the chief Shepherd. Nobody is taking anything away from Jesus. 1Pe 5:4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. But look at the basic component of this question, in this thread, should unbelievers come to church to get saved? My illustration, is a description of the dynamics of birth in the natural world, an example from nature so to speak. Jesus used the metaphor of sheep, and shepherd, I just filled in the blanks. Be Blessed Yen |

53 | no more animal sacrifice | Heb 8:13 | YenIsaRap | 218719 | ||
I would like for everyone to fully understand my position on this subject. I am a born again believer in Jesus Christ. The sacrifice which he made for me, for the forgiveness of my sins, and the Grace of God whereby I have received Salvation. I have not stated that I believe the sacrifices of the Law, conducted at the Temple by the Jews, should be reinstated, I do not advocate this practice for followers of Jesus Christ as something that we as believers should do, besides the fact we can't, even if we wanted to, on the grounds the Temple, the only place where sacrifices of that sort can be made, DOES NOT EXIST! The original question was posed. Because when Jesus was Crucified, the Temple was still standing, and would be for another 35 yrs. There were Jews that kept the old traditions, and the laws, during that time. Question: Did God honor those sacrifices until 70 ad.? Then I had the thought. The Temple will be rebuilt in the end times, the sacrifices will be reinstated, for a three and one half year period of time, until the Abomination of Desolation happens. Question: Will God Honor those sacrifices at that time? The answer does not negate, nor diminish anything that Jesus accomplished for all mankind. It's just a question about "A People", that did not believe the Messiah had come, and continued in the Law, until this day, and will into the future, until Jesus returns. On the Jewish calendar the yr.is 5770 their still waiting for Messiah. Just a question, not a new doctrine. Gods Love YenIsaRap |

Dear Edd Just speak up, don't be so shy with your viewpoint. When we differ with others, if we don't share the knowledge we possess we become likened unto the Dead sea, where fresh, life giving water flows into it, but without any out let it becomes stagnant. God Bless Yen |

Dear Searcher Thank you for the response, I to feel the answer is "yes" to that question. Thanks for the information about Ez.40-46 being the new Temple. Now, could you venture an answer on the question number (1) of the same post? Thanks Brother Yen |

56 | Is foot washing ignored? | John 13:34 | YenIsaRap | 218709 | ||
Dear justme It appears with this story of feet washing, that Jesus was speaking about being washed clean, through the sacrifice that would be made for them, (and us), more than a direct teaching, that they should wash each others feet. Or even that foot washing should become a doctrine for us to follow. He was also expressing to them that they should become servants, not esteeming themselves to highly, humbling themselves. There are some churches that do practice it as a way of keeping themselves humble, but the practice only takes place with the pastor, elders, deacons. Does this help Yen |

57 | Should "lost" people come to church? | Luke 5:31 | YenIsaRap | 218706 | ||
Dear fallen4shell There are two words we need to look at here. In defining them we will come to a better understanding. 1 SHEEP: Strong's def. something that walks forward (a quadruped), that is, (specifically) a sheep (literally or figuratively): 2 SHEPHERD: a shepherd (literally or figuratively): - shepherd, pastor. Jesus used the word sheep, in relation to His followers. Joh 21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. So at this point we know we are sheep, we are fed and protected. In the spring each year the SHEEP give birth to new sheep baby sheep, that become part of the sheepfold. This happens every year, and the sheepfold becomes bigger, because that is what sheep do, they reproduce. The protector of a flock of sheep is the shepherd. There has not been at any time a shepherd, that has given birth to a sheep. He may, upon a special occasion, when a certain sheep is having difficulty birthing, that the shepherd will assist in the birth, but it is physically impossible for the shepherd to give birth to one of his flock. The shepherd (pastor) is responsible for feeding , and protection of the sheep. Acts 20:28 "Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. There may be times when a shepherd will witness to a person that is lost, (not saved) but he does this in the capacity of a sheep, not a shepherd. God bless Yen |

58 | no more animal sacrifice | Heb 8:13 | YenIsaRap | 218704 | ||
This is a correction on my post, no more animal sacrifice ( 218700 ) until the final destruction of the Temple in 35 ad. That should have been 70 ad. Yen |

59 | Who was sacrificing in the temple? | Ex 30:13 | YenIsaRap | 218702 | ||
Dear WOS You have two questions. 1 Who was sacrificing in the temple before its destruction? 2 Were followers of Christ sacrificing in the Temple? Seems as though you are under the impression, when Jesus was Crucified, all activity at the Temple ceased. There were sacrifices taking place during the life of Christ. The sacrifices continued until the Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 ad. Therefor the direct answer to you first question is, the Jewish people. As to your second question, do you honestly believe, anyone with any sense would have a belief, that the disciples were still practicing the Law by sacrificing at the Temple? Gods' Love Yen |

60 | no more animal sacrifice | Heb 8:13 | YenIsaRap | 218700 | ||
Dear Tim You can't have it both ways Tim, in your first post you stated. "1) The animal sacrifices did not save anyone in the first place." And I concur, with your statement, but they did gain forgiveness of sin. Now in your second post you state. "You stated that forgiveness of sins and salvation are not synonymous, but according to Eph. 1:7, they are synonymous:" Again I concur with your statement, but that event only becomes a reality in the New Covenant, not the Old. That brings us to the crux of my question. My question is asked in reference to, and only to the people, the nation of Israel, those people that did not follow Jesus, but continued in the practice of Judaism after the Crucifixion of Jesus, until the final destruction of the Temple in 35 ad. I guess you are saying, the Jewish people were not granted forgiveness of their sins after 35 ad. No matter the fact they followed the laws set down. Was the forgiveness of their sins only dependant upon the fact something was sacrificed? Or was it because they believed God at His word, that if they did sacrifice in such a manner, they would gain forgiveness of sin? Gal 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Therefore if the people did continue to live by the law, did God honor their sacrifice for sin, thereby granting them forgiveness of their sins according to the law? Your Brother in Christ Yen |
