43 | Purpose of the parables? | Matt 13:1 | lookinforacity | 204999 | ||
Hi Tamara: To answer your question, the parables are only about ONE thing. The Kingdom Jesus was preaching the GOSPEL of the KINGDOM ! From the time of his showing to Israel, to his crucifixion.All of the prophesy's were about the (Messiah, and his Kingdom.) He was going about setting it up, Establishing it, in the hearts of men. That is why the Disciples asked him. Acts 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? ,Matthew 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. Read this PARABLE, it is about the Kingdom , NOT Salvation as people think. Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Here is an example, of the unbelief. Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. The same thing is happening today, by the Churches. How many Churches actually teach the Kingdom? In Christ JIM |

Hi stjohn: Thank you for the quick response, but he didn't really say the gospel of salvation did he. What it does say is the gospel, not his message of salvation. Thanks anyway Have a GOD BLESSED DAY |

47 | Salvation message of Jesus | Mark | lookinforacity | 204434 | ||
Hi again John: You have very conveinently put The Gospel, and Salvation together, in such a way that you, are either assuming, emplying that they are in fact one in the same. Clarify it for me, if I say Godpel, I am infact saying (Salvation)? Is this something you have found on your own, or are you quoting someone that tought you this. I fully agree with you, (one) of the underlaying messages of the Bible is Salvation. Where in the Bible can we find, Jesus actally saying Gospel of Salvation, where there isnt any shadow of a doubt, as to just what he did say? SHALOM to you |
||||||
48 | Salvation message of Jesus | Mark | lookinforacity | 204441 | ||
Hi John: I don't want to delve into implication, speculation, assumption. From what you have just replied, " And isn't this what we call the Gospel of Salvation" Doesn't that fall into the area of speculation? Isn't that what the Church has done, ( and you just used the correct word, thank you )the Church has" Dogmatically" taught, the doctrine of the Gospel of Salvation, as though it WAS in the BIBLE. Just got your note: Your right I found it also, Eph.1:13, but that also is taking things to the area of, speculation, Just what is the word of truth, and the Gospel of your Salvation, comes close, but I can see where there is still room for doubt. That could mean, something else we could call (Gospel) (Good News).. I figured I could, do exactly as I asked you to do, so I looked up Gospel of Salvation. These are the Scriptures that came up. Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, But alas, as you can see there is not, anywhere in the whole Bible where it does actually say, Gospel of Salvation. Even so we can still agree, that it is one of the messages throughout the Bible. Shalom again |

49 | Salvation message of Jesus | Mark | lookinforacity | 204457 | ||
Hellow John: Yes I am serious, gospel of salvation is the doctrin, of the Church, as though Jesus gave us a commission to preach it to a lost world. The term gospel of your salvation, in relation to the way it has been used, could mean another (Gospel) GOOD NEWS Eph. 1:13 All I have been trying to do is, understand the wording, if we are taught something that contradicts the actual words that have been spoken, (written) then aren't we at that moment being taught the beliefs of a Person, such as the Pope, (infallable? I don't think so!) Couldn't there just be someone that has a false teaching, Like I have heard in this Forum (DARBY) Lastly the Church itself, if the Church teaches something as fact, when it isn't, then your whole belief is then slanted in the direction of that teaching, everything else becomes untrue, I have heard some here talk about the teachings of Calvinism. Get my point? There is in all of us, a hostility, towards anything that does, or may possably threaten our, beliefs, we inherrantly do not want to find out, we have been in error, especially when it comes to our Christian Beliefs. Are we not to talk about, debate, argue these very beliefs, maby perchance, we might find we have a belief, that is not correct, then we should thank GOD for revealing it to us. I could go on, but won't Definitions FORUM 1 b : a public meeting place for open discussion 2 : a judicial body or assembly : COURT The term (open discussion), isn't that debate, in a Court, aren't there differing arguments made? In our own Congress, and Senate, don' t they, argue their points, in debate, discussion? DEBATE 1 a : to argue about b : to engage (an opponent) in debate 2 a : to contend in words b : to discuss a question by considering opposed arguments All I have been trying to do, is engage you in debate, (YES) according to the definitions set forth. A debate on questions of, Christian belief VS Christian truth. If I am mistaken on this , I am truly sorry. Please then, explain to me the rules, of the forum, on how I am to post, without debate. Have a GOD BLESSED DAY |

50 | All reasons Pharisees confront Jesus? | Mark 12:13 | lookinforacity | 204549 | ||
HI again Tamara: This is a good reason for doing what they did, not sure if scripture, says anything else about reasons for confrontations, but this is how it all ended. Vs. 1 names them all, as being present. Mark 15 1Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedren, reached a decision. 9"Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate, 10knowing it was out off ( ENVY ) that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him They bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate. GOD BLESS Jim |

51 | Evidenc of Signs in 2008 Valid? | Mark 16:17 | lookinforacity | 205713 | ||
Hi Tamara: Mark 16:17,18 17) And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18) They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Are we to take this verse in Mark literally? The question I ask is, If not for today, then why after the 4 Gospels were written, was it still taught? If these were the words of Jesus to the Disciples only, for the BUILDING of the Church, then why write letters to other Churches, (1 Cor.12) teaching them on the proper use of these gifts. Why the in depth explanation, GOD knew this book was going to come down to us, was it so we could argue pro, and con. for 2 millennia. I don't think so. As far as them ending, Jesus said "Them that Believe" aren't we believers? Jesus did not say, there will be an end of these gifts. Anything other than the Cold Hard Fact, of (A)meaning(1) Scripture that explicitly states they were to end, after the Disciples died, then any belief in that direction is pure conjecturer, ( Aren't we Disciples Also) Continued End of 1 of 2 |

Continuation 2 of 2 Now, as far as picking up serpents, and drinking poison. I could say, God will watch over us, the same as he did for PAUL, on the way to Rome, (Acts 28:3-6) 3) And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. 4) And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. 5) And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. 6) Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god. But take a look at this. Kind of a different light. Or Luke 10:17-20 17) And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18) And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19) Behold, I give unto you power to tread on (SERPENTS and SCORPIONS), and over (ALL) the (POWER) of the enemy: and (NOTHING SHALL) by any means (HURT YOU). 20) Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Thinking of what Luke has just said, could this food be poison to us as Christians? 1 Corinthians 8:3,4 3) But if any man love God, the same is known of him. 4) As concerning therefore the (EATING) of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. OK, I know it says (EATING), but I am thinking on the lines of anything that could be construed a food, or drink, something that we would consume. (NOW) Think of how many different ways, we can consume something How about false teachings that have, and still come into the Church? They could be considered POISIN to the hearer, but not (DEADLY) to the true believer. "Be careful what you hear". James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, (FULL) of (DEADLY POISON). Psalm 140 1) Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; 2) Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war. 3) They have sharpened their tongues like a (SERPENT); (ADDERS' POISON) is under their lips. Selah. 4) Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. We are to keep ourselves, unspotted from the world. James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Matthew 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. 1 Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot (DRINK) the (CUP) of the Lord, and the (CUP) of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's (TABLE), and of the (TABLE) of devils. "GOD WILL PROTECT YOU" 1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye (EAT), or (DRINK), or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Tamara, all I am saying is, if we look at Mark 16:17,18, trying to make sense out of it literally, and cant, are we then to just throw our hands in the air, saying "We cant understand it"? Leaving it there. Or are we to SEEK, KNOCK, ASK . I have tried to stretch my brain, into every direction I could think of, trying to get some understanding of the verses in question. I do not believe we are supposed to take at face value, what something might appear to say. That is all I have tried to do. Maybe with these other scriptures I have posted here, they will spark something, allowing you, to look at things from a different perspective. IN Jesus Name Jim |

Hi Tamara: I didn't get anywhere. I was trying to tell you , look in every direction you can. That's all. As far as the portion of Mark belonging or not, it's in the book, and it has been for a long time, it will be there for a long time to come. We as believers better get a handle on it. Just posted in the hopes of help. Have a good evening Jim |

54 | so spiritually minded no earthly good? | Luke 10:33 | lookinforacity | 203976 | ||
Hi Brother: My feelings on the question, the way you asked it would be a resounding YES ! I have to also assume that you were talking about the Priest, and the Levite. The quote you used, I believe could be understood this way, in relation to them. They were living by the LETTER of the LAW, not by the SPIRIT of the LAW. Being devout, they were probably worried that they might get BLOOD on them, and then they would be defiled, they would then have to go through days of sepperation, followed by ritual baths, for clensing. The positions they held, would have made it impossable for them to conduct their daily buisness. Soooo, now we come to the Smaritan, as far as the blood was concerned, it didnt bother him, because according to the Jews, he was already unclean. Im sure he wasnt thinking that when he helped the person, that was beaten. He just reacted as a person that kept the LAW in his heart, thus becoming a Law unto himself, by doing unto others as he would have done unto himself. Being uneducated, in heavenly things, as the Priest, and the Levite were, he acted righteously. In conclusion, they had so much learning, on the spiritual, that they could, or would not do those things we should do as mere men. " They were so spiritually minded, they were of no earthly good " |

55 | so spiritually minded no earthly good? | Luke 10:33 | lookinforacity | 204030 | ||
HI STEVE: Yes there were some assumptions made, the way the question was asked, it was a light hearted answer, to a light hearted question, no harm, no foul. The answer was written in such a way, as to give some information, and possibly make it a little more enjoyable in trying to understand why the Priest, and the Levite didnt help in the first place. I dont believe I have contradicted myself in any way. If you cant see how they were so spiritually minded, then think about this for a moment, they were, a Priest, and a Levite. Teachers of the Law, studying all the time to find themselvs worthy. Making sure every Jot, every Tittle was in place. But they were not awair of the Love, Compassion,Charity,of God in his Law. They were only awair of the LETTER of the Law. Thats the point I made! I can take from the assumption you made, that you couldn't give any reasion why they didnt't help, you only gave a resounding NO. In your mind they weren't spiritually minded at all. They were a Priest, and a Levite, they sure should be spiritually minded, they were the ones that the people looked to for guidence. The quote that was used for the question, "They were so spiritually minded they were no earthly good " is what is called a back handed compliment. The quote itself, conceeds the spirituality of the Priest, and the Levite. |

Hi Steve: Just to clarify, I copied this for you. This is YOUR first answer to the Question. Go back and read the notes I posted, the first was my answer, the second was to you explaining the answer. These are your words. Have a GOD BLESSED DAY Question: "so spiritually minded your no earthly good" Luke 10:29-37 Parable of the Good Samaritan? Answer: If your asking and/or inferring if the priest and the Levite were so spiritually minded they were no earthly good the answer is a resounding NO! Neither showed any hint of being spiritually minded. Steve |

57 | Wisdom as Evangelism? | John 1:1 | lookinforacity | 203865 | ||
Hi Tamara Sounds like the person you are talking about is more impressed with himself, and what his students think about him, and his abilities,to argue religious questions. It seems more like he is saying watch me, I am smarter than the average person. Strangely though, the very scripture he put forth, speaks to what he does to others. 1 Cor 2:4 and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. Where in all he said, was the power of God demonstrated? It appears as though he was trying to convince others, by his knowledge, and his ability to lead (trick) people that he didn't think were as smart as he was. This is the demonstration of the power of GOD! John 6:44 "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day. Tamara: It looks to me, all of your feelings, on the matter of this persons methods, were from the leading of the Holy Sprit, to lead YOU to all Truth. The biggest part of learning is to let GOD SPEAK to YOUR HEART. Always take what others teach you,then Question it in light of Scripture,letting the Holy Spirit Teach you. |

Hi Steve: I found some interesting verses, that might shed a different light, on how we are to take what we read. We first have to look at the Disciples (Apostles), they were in a special position, they WERE the first, they were at the starting point, they will also have a different reward. Matthew 19:27 Peter answered him, "We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?" Matthew 19:28 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Luke 22:28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. Luke 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; Luke 22:30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. This is only to show you, we cannot apply everything, that Jesus said to them, (to OURSELVES.) Hope it helps. God Bless Jim |

Hi Brad: What I did say, was. I found some interesting verses, that might shed a different light, on how we are to take what we read. Please excuse my ignorance, but has everyone in this Forum seen, and understood these verses before? I will admit, until today, I did not. They surprised me. From now on, when I read I will keep them in mind. If the point of study, is to divide the word of God Righteously. Then I will have to go over everything I believe, and reapply this new information. What I am talking about is, they (the Apostles)had the responsibility of establishing the Church. (not us) Did Jesus tell them things, that they alone needed, in order for them to do that work? That we as Believers, Christians, Followers, Disciples have combined with other verses, to the Church in general, thereby giving us a wrong, BELIEF. (understanding) I for one would like to know, if I am following something that could cause me some difficulty in some way. In Answer: 1) I do not believe, the Church is Israel. 2) The ministry given to Paul, was the same as for the other 12. He said himself, "As one born, out of due season" Hope this clears things up. GOD BLESS Jim |
