Hi big.. Spirit and soul are probably more, then less, intertwined, so, I think, both, go to wherever one goes, after death. Of course a spirit/soul apart from God has no real life in it, or light of, or from God, so, we consider it, dead. God bless John |

Hi Doc, You said in your post, "I'm not arguing" Well Brother; I sure cant see even a, hint of an argument! We are in total agreement! Scripture pants a fuzzy line at best, between the two! :-) I can see now that perhaps my post was too terse, that was pretty much what I was trying to say. Anyway thanks for the info, Doc, it does add a good deal to my understanding of the two, i,e. I don't really understand! :-) God bless John |

43 | Ammonites and Moabites today? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 196895 | ||
Hi Cheri, I found this at, http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01431b.htm -- "Justin Martyr refers to them as a numerous people in his day, but in the course of the next century they vanish completely from the view of history." -- There is much more to read about them of course, but it looks like as far as; who they might be related to today?... They are dust in the wind. However, you can probably find more and varied opinions, as to, where they may have gone or even if they are, somehow, still around. :-) God bless John |

45 | Ammonites and Moabites today? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 196906 | ||
Hi Cheri, Your welcome; also, I read somewhere, [may have been the same place] that it was because of there incestuous relationship with Israel through the incest of Lot's daughters, that, that was the reason for God's rejection of them. God bless John |

46 | Ammonites and Moabites today? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 196911 | ||
Amen Brother, I had to think about that myself and went back to the books. :-) After returning to my studies, I soon realized that that probably was indeed the case, and when returning was glad too, to find your post. The argument for this assertion, [i.e. God was rejecting them becaus of incest], is indeed quite thin, against it, is one fact that God had not given the law yet when Lot's daughters manipulated the situation to repopulate a world they thought was, void of other men. Although that could be, but not easily supported ether, I don't think. However, in favor, it is thought that God's rejection was after the law had been given. That's a pretty thin argument as well I think, and also, not supported by scripture, like you said, and I agree; even if it was, [i.e. suported by scripture] and, 'one' of the reasons, [which is speculative] it was one of many reasons, as you pointed out. Probably should have qualified my post with an, [of corse this is a theory], or something, but then I wouldn't have had the benefit of your post, with more incite on the subject. Thanks for your time Brother Doc! Me like kosher salt! :-) God bless John |

hey Doc, That was 'insight' by the way, not, 'incite', oops! although, my typo still applies to you, and the Spirit, in you, my friend,... [incite] to stir, encourage, or urge on; stimulate or prompt to action: Thanks Doc.... |

49 | "all good things come to those who wait" | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 197192 | ||
Hello Jamie Lynn, A warm welcome to the forum! It's encouraging to see you studying with Sister and Mom! :-) I thought I'd do a search on, ["those who wait"] in the, Search word(s) box, under the, Get Bible Text, to the right of your screen. After reading your question, and Brother Tim's response, it reminded me that I have often heard that expression. As a boy, from my mom, from teachers, and as an adult I still hear it from time to time. When we read the Scriptures that describe the "good things" that do come to those who wait, it's easy to see how this expression came to be popular among Christians. Here's some more Scriptures that you may want to share with Mom and Sis. God bless John [emphasis in CAPS is mine] : Hope you enjoy the forum! Ps 25:3 Indeed, none of those who WAIT for You will be ashamed; Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed. Ps 37:9 For evildoers will be cut off, But those who WAIT for the LORD, they will inherit the land. Ps 69:6 May those who WAIT for You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts; May those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel, Ps 119:74 May those who fear You see me and be glad, Because I WAIT for Your word. Ps 147:11 The LORD favors those who fear Him, Those who WAIT for His lovingkindness. Is 40:31 Yet those who WAIT for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary. Lam 3:25 The LORD is good to those who WAIT for Him, To the person who seeks Him. |

50 | strongs concordance mediums | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 197818 | ||
Hello silvercoins, Welcome to the forum! I don't think that Strongs has the word mediums because Strongs is compatible with the King James, and I don't think the word mediums is in the King James. Try using the word witch or witchcraft. The NASB does use the word mediums. I don't think any translation uses the word psychics, but, of course, I could be wrong about that. God bless John |

Hi servant, Welcome to The Bible Study Forum. The Institute In Basic Life Principles, I believe, happens to be a cult, based on extreme legalism. By the way this is a Bible study. Do you have a Bible question? God bless John |

Hi Dr. Steeno Pardon me sir but you have me kinda confused. Are you suggesting that somehow the cross has rendered the Lords pryer inconsequential and ineffective because of Christ's work on the Cross? And that somehow God is not going to look with favor and Grace and Mercy at a penitent heart? I would suggest, If I may, that you read Ps 51 with special attention to verse 17 "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise." I don't think Our Father who art in Heaven, minds at all when we confess "with contrition"! Even in a court of law, a confession with no sign of sorrow often leads to a maximum sentence! Oh no my friend, contrition, is always good for the soul! God bless John |

Dear Dr. Steeno, We know that Jesus' suffered in our place and made it possible for us to have our sins taken away, and so, we can have fellowship with God. We also know that we must confess our sins in order for our sins to be forgiven, that is we must turn away from sin and turn too God (i.e. repentance) We know too that God looks at the heart, and to suggest that, "asking for forgiveness," will somehow, "insult God," just because we know that the work has already been done for that to be possible, would render repentance as nothing but a mechanical act with no heart in it at all. Read the story of the prodigal son my friend and see how God feels about one of His own falling away in sin and living as the world, and then seeing his sin, and asking his Father, with a penitent heart, to take him back. Luke 15:20 "So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him." It's a two way street my friend, yes, the work of The Cross is past tense, but that work is still being done today in the heart of the believer, and it depends on wether we ask for forgiveness. Confession, without contrition, is only a mechanical act, and really, no confession at all. God judges the heart, not just the words, words without love, are just noise. Rom 12:9 1 Cor 13:1 God bless John |

Hi Dr... sorry, I'm not going to get into, what I believe brother BradK called. "scriptural ping pong" You are not helping your case, nor are we edifying "anyone", by continuing, into debate, as it is quickly becoming obvious that, that, is where this, is headed. I have stated IMHO what I believe. You have a right to your opinion, sir, but I'll thank you to let it go, please. God bless John p.s. please familiarize yourself with the "Terms of Use" You can click on it at the top of the home page. |

57 | . God, who is omnipotent, could have us | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 198668 | ||
Hi jingjing, Welcome to the forum! That is a good question. I think though that we do have something pretty extraordinary, 66 books, God's Word. God the creator of all, has given us all we need to get to know Him. Thats pretty amazing don't you think? And in it are histories and wonderful true stories of many truly extraordinary events, and yet He has given all this to ordinary men to spread through the lost world. And it is the power of that Word that saves men's souls, not those who spread it. Even from the mouths of ordinary men He is able to save. That my friend is truly extraordinary! oh and by the way, I don't know why... :-) God bless John |

Hello Dr. May I ask, whom are "you" talking about? is it those who "WILL NOT" believe God, or, those who fall down and need a hand up? if it is the later, then, read the next verse, or two. It is God who judges, not us! You say it is about the whole bible. Well then, I agree, it is indeed. I truly hope we can have a discustion about God's Holy Word, and do so in a manor that gives glory to God, and, shows forth His "Grace and Mercy". If it is the former, then, I agree. God bless John |

Mark 11:24-25 "Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. 25 "Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions. | ||||||
