41 | Jesus' sense of humor? | Not Specified | cwade | 68824 | ||
Jesus’ sense of humor? Why did Jesus nickname James and John the “Sons of Thunder”? Our Lord used an Aramaic term: “Boanerges” to refer to James and John: Mark 3:17 and James, the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, which means, "Sons of Thunder"); Was it because of their request in Luke 9:54? Luke 9:54 When His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?" I apologize if this offends anyone, but I find it somewhat humorous. I know Our Lord had a very serious reason for coming to earth and I would never make light of that. However, it seems that at least on this one occasion during His 3 years together with His disciples, Jesus was being humorous in his choice of surnames. James and John seemed to be somewhat “boisterous” and probably deserving of some good-natured teasing: Mark 10:35: James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, came up to Jesus, saying, "Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You." Then, they tried to put themselves ahead of the other disciples: Mark 10:37 They said to Him, "Grant that we may sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory." They even got their mom to help them out: Matthew 20:20 Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him. If I am wrong in finding humor in the name Jesus chose for James and John please chastise me sternly. I find pleasure in imagining that Jesus might have laughed a few times while he was here on earth. If that is in any way disrespectful please point that out to me. |

44 | "Age" of our resurrected/glorified body? | Not Specified | cwade | 67015 | ||
Age of our resurrected/glorified bodies? Does the Bible address (in any way) the "age" of our resurrected bodies? For example if an infant dies at 2 days old, when it's body is ressurected is it resurrected as an infant? Note: This is not an attempt to reopen the so-called "Age of Accountability" issue :-)! |

46 | offspring of Adam and Eve | Gen 5:4 | cwade | 66944 | ||
Freebyrd, (from the Lynard Skynard song?) Welcome. As Johnny said in his post to you: Their wives were their sisters. Some people think this was not so, because of this verse forbidding incest: Leviticus 18:9 "The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover." But this commandment was given much later (after the flood). In Adam and Eve's day the bloodline of the human race was much more pure and marrying one's sister did not produce offspring with the kinds of defects that would cause today. God allowed this back then so that mankind could obey His command to "be fruitful and multiply." |

47 | Everyone origianlly in the Book of Life? | Rev 3:5 | cwade | 66925 | ||
Shortstop, "May Peace and Grace be Yours from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ"! "...clothed in white garments" means to be set apart for God. The names of those whom God has chosen are written in the Book of Life. "...I will not erase his name from the Book of Life" means that those who belong to Christ will never be "plucked from His hand." John 10:28-29 "And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." Take a look at the post (by kalos) listed just above yours titled: Book of Life "will never be altered". Kalos' post will shed more light on the verse. God bless you, cwade |

48 | "God said"? ...The VERBAL voice of God? | Ex 20:19 | cwade | 66849 | ||
I neither want nor need anything more than God's Word my Brother. From time to time I do benefit from the teaching of my Spiritual Elders so I thank God for this forum. I too am suspicious of anyone who says they heard God's verbal voice. That is why I posted the question. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. Your reply has been very helpful! I am curious however about the last 2 verses you posted. Do you feel that someone who claims to have heard God's verbal voice may actually be hearing the voice of a demon? Your Weaker Brother, cwade |

Yes, it is helpful. Thank You! I asked the question because a man claimed in his testimony recently that he heard the (verbal) voice of God inside his jail cell saying: "You will go home tomorrow". I wondered if that was Biblically possible. In Christ! cwade | ||||||
51 | Unforgivable sin | Romans | cwade | 66787 | ||
Hank, I am striving for a more mature understanding of the Bible. I'm sure that many of these disagrements on points of doctrine are really just contrasting sides of the same truth. Maybe we should all try to reconcile the differences between what appears to be contradictory doctrine by searching for a way to better understand both sides. For example, on this issue of baptism; Is it Required for salvation: NO. But a true believer out of love for the Lord and a desire to please Him will always be baptized. Does this not make the point moot? Am I right in this way of thinking? | ||||||
52 | "God said"? ...The VERBAL voice of God? | Ex 20:19 | cwade | 66767 | ||
"God said"? The VERBAL voice of God? When we read the phrase "God said" Did it always mean God spoke verbally? Let me clarify my question: I know that during the Patriarcal Age there were occasions where God spoke to Abraham, Moses, Job, etc, verbally. In the Age of the Prophets, when he had a conversation with one of the prophets was He speaking verbally, or placing the information "in their minds"? I know of instances in the New Testament when the verbal voice of God was heard. Does the Bible preclude the possiblility of someone actually hearing (with their ears) the VERBAL voice of God today? | ||||||
53 | MEANINGS TO ALL THE NAMES IN RUTH | Ruth 1:1 | cwade | 66766 | ||
I'm sorry, I don't have the full sermon. | ||||||
54 | Meanings of names in Ruth | Ruth 1:1 | cwade | 66729 | ||
This is from a sermon by Dr. Chet Haney. I hope it helps: Ruth 1:1…And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. So here you have the setting for the book of Ruth. The time is a time of judgment where God sees the good and the bad and the secrets. During this time, a hunger rose and a man from Bethlehem went to Moab where there was bread and took his two sons and his wife with him. Now what is the meaning of Bethlehem? It is where Christ was born of course, but interestingly the name Bethlehem means "house of bread." So this man got up from the house of bread and left because there was no bread there in the days when people were being judged. He took his wife and his two sons. Vs. 2 The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion. The names in the book of Ruth like names generally throughout the Old Testament have prophetic meaning. Elimelech means, "God is my King." And Namoi means, "kindness, splendor and grace" (also refers to the sensual pleasure of physical intimacy in marriage). So "God is my king" married "Kindness, Splendor and grace." And where did they live? In the "house of bread" – Bethlehem. So God is my King, who lived in House of Bread, married Kindness, Splendor and grace, and bore two sons. What were there names? The first who would become the husband of Ruth was named Malhon. That is kind of a strange thing to name your son because that word means "Sickness." His brother Chilion, had an interesting name as well, meaning "Grieving yourself away, or destruction" So during the days of God’s chastening and supervision, there was a famine in the land and from the town of house of bread, God is my king married the splendor of grace, and they had two sons, sickness and grieving destruction." They all moved away from the house of bread because there was no bread and they moved to Moab in order to find something to eat. But they did not just go there to eat. They went there to stay. While they were in Moab, a terrible thing happened for Naomi. Her husband died. Vs. 3 Then Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons. Personally I can’t imagine what it would feel like to travel off somewhere with your spouse and children and then be left there alone after the death of your mate. That must have been a terribly cruel and lonely feeling for Naomi. Some people in our church know what it’s like to lose a mate. Personally, I thank God that I do not. God is my King died, and the splendor of Grace was left with sickness and grieving destruction. Vs. 4 Now they took wives of the women of Moab: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth. And they dwelt there about ten years. Hebrews were forbidden to take foreign wives for themselves, but Sickness and Grieving away decided to get themselves wives from the Moabite women. Orpah, which means "stiff-necked" became the wife of destruction, and sickness married "Ruth" a "female friend." And so they lived there for about ten years. |

One and Cyclist. My Brothers, I just read both your profiles and I realize you are both my spiritual elders. That being so, I humbly and respectfully withdraw from this discussion. I apologize and ask your forgiveness if I have seemed impertinent in any of my responses. I still believe the conclusion I reached in studying this topic, but I don't feel qualified to state the case properly. I fear that I am missing the connection some of your quoted verses have to this topic and I realize that is probably due to my spiritual immaturity. I thank you both for the ability to learn the things I have from this thread. God bless you both. Your weaker brother, cwade | ||||||

Praise God! Yes! My brother it is wonderful to be a child of God! And yes I am so blessed to be able to participate in this forum. I have learned much in just a few days. I pray for a "teachable spirit" and for humility. I will indeed answer your question(s) and respond to your comments to the best of my limited ability. Please know however that I am still a baby in Christ and my interpretation of Scripture is limited by that. With Brotherly Love, cwade | ||||||

My friend One; Psalms 58:3-5 "The wicked are ESTRANGED FROM THE WOMB (my caps), they go astray AS SOON AS THEY BE BORN, (my caps) speaking lies. Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely." Is this not God's word clearly saying at what age He sees sin in children and when He holds us accountable (at birth)? We may not like calling cute little babies 'snakes' but who are we to argue with God? Proverbs 20:11 "Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right" Does this not say implicitly that a child's doing can be impure? To me, God's Word is very clear on this. The verses being quoted here in opposition to this viewpoint are falling miserably short! These verses are just too clear. As soon as I see a verse quoted that says Children are innocent at birth, or that children are not held accountable for sin, I will reconsider my conclusion. I welcome any Bible verse that clearly says: a person has to be old enough to realize that he is a sinner, or be able to understand Gods salvation befor he has real sin. |
