461 | Is the name Christian being ridiculed? | James 2:5 | ebrain | 161685 | ||
No they were blaspheming the name of God. The one by whom you were chosen, and whose name you now take see verse 5. Remember you are now called the children of God, and by adoption you have taken His name. As Scripture says you do not take His name in vain, in other words it will not be a mistake to take His name in the sense of becomming a member of His family. They were making fun of the name by which you were called, ie, God's name. |

462 | Were do angels go when they die. | Matt 22:30 | ebrain | 161677 | ||
As far as I am aware Angels do not die, but have eternal life as we Christians do. My understanding of the verse quoted is that as we humans are subject to death, there is a need for us to reproduce our own kind, but when we get to Heaven we will be like the Angles, who because they live for ever, have no need to reproduce there own kind. I may of course be wrong, but like Paul, I give my opinion as one who (I believe) has found favour in our Lord's sight. (1 Cor 7:25). |

463 | What is a Nephilum? | Gen 6:4 | ebrain | 161672 | ||
Thank you Doc, you are of course right, I should have prefaced my remarks in the way you suggest, and not allowed speculation to be considered as fact. What was in my mind at the time was attempting to answer a question that was mearly academic, and in no way could it be considered as Basic Foundational Christian Doctrine. Your point is taken, however, and I shall in future endeavor to be more carefull. Thank you again for your fellowship. Every blessing. ebrain |

465 | what it is to be born again? | 2 Cor 5:17 | ebrain | 161612 | ||
What our Lord Jesus was refering to in John Ch 3 vs 1-8, was two different types of life, physical life, and spiritual life. Now how did you become a member of the human race?, you were born into it, how much contribution did you make to your own physical birth?. none whatsoever, you owe your existance entirely to the activity of another person, namely your human father. Likewise your arrival into the spiritual world will (if you have not allready arrived there) also have nothing whatsoever to do with anything you can do. See Matthew Ch 19 vs 25-26, it will be entirely due to the work of another person, who will then be your Heavenly Father. See Matthew Ch 16 v 17, 1 cor Ch 2 v 14, John Ch 6 vs 44, and 65. To sum up therefore, "Born again" is not that which you become when you receive Jesus as your own personal saviour, but is an act of God beforehand which enables you to acept Jesus as your Saviour. Have a Look at Isaiah Ch 53 v 10b, "When you shall make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days". This means that when you offer to God the Sacrifical death of Jesus for your sins. Then He Jesus sees the fruition of the seed that He had beforehand planted in you, He is then able to prolong His days by taking up residence within you in the person of His other self, the Holy Spirit, See Ephesians Ch 1 vs 13-14. I do hope that this is of help to you. May the Lord bless you,and keep you safe. Christian love. ebrain. |

466 | Explain A Normal Christian Life? | Col 3:5 | ebrain | 161457 | ||
Hi there Sheila, I can strongly recommend a book by Watchman Nee called "The Normal Christian Life", he also wrote "Sit Walk Stand", and "What Shall This Man Do?". All the above can be obtained from www.Amazon.com May the Lord bless you, and keep you safe. ebrain. |

467 | Explain A Normal Christian Life? | Col 3:5 | ebrain | 161447 | ||
I can strongly recommend a book entitled "The Normal Christian Life" by Watchman Nee. He also wrote "Sit Walk Stand", and another book that I think was called "What Shall This Man Do". Every blessing. ebrain. |

468 | What is a Nephilum? | Gen 6:4 | ebrain | 161401 | ||
The only verses that I can bring to mind which appear to support my view, are found at 2nd Peter Ch 2 vs 4-5. It would appear that the Jews who produced the Septuagint, when looking for a suitable Greek word to represent what they understood the Nephilim to be,chose Titan. If you Doc can quote a Scripture to indicate that my conclusion is incorrect, then please do so, or otherwise give me your considered opinion as to who you think the Nephilim were?. Respectfully yours. Edwin Brain. |
||||||
469 | What is a Nephilum? | Gen 6:4 | ebrain | 161358 | ||
The Nephilim were the product of sexual relations between fallen Angels, and human females. The expression "sons of God", when sons is spelt with a small "s" is a reference to Angels. In the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Hebrew OT) made about 300 BC, Nephilim is translated "Titan". The Titans in Greek mythology were reputed to be the result of the Greek gods comming down to earth, and having sexual relations with human females. The word Titan is normaly translated giant, which is why the ocean liner which sank in 1912 was called Titanic. A more accurate translation of titan would be grotesque, rather than giant. |

470 | Sexual Sin | Gen 2:18 | ebrain | 161092 | ||
Further to my last post. Please read Matt 19:4-6, where we have our Lord Jesus's comments on the Genesis verses shown above. | ||||||
471 | Sexual Sin | Gen 2:18 | ebrain | 161090 | ||
Sexual sin is any sexual activity other than God allows. He requires, One man, one woman, to the exclusion of all others untill the death of one of them. Any sexual activity other than as permitted above is sexual sin. |

Thank you Doc. I agree, Divine regeneration must happen first. Christian love. Edwin Brain. |

473 | calling all sinners | Matt 13:11 | ebrain | 160816 | ||
Thank you Doc for your post. As you will see from my post to WOS, if the greatest teacher the world has ever known, or ever will know needed to say what He did at John 7:17, then it goes without saying that all other teachers will need to do the same.. What we must not forget is that it is the same Holy Spirit who gives ilumination to both the reader, and the listener. May the Lord bless you, and keep you safe. ebrain. |

474 | calling all sinners | Matt 13:11 | ebrain | 160813 | ||
Thank you WOS for your post. I am well aware that God has apointed teachers in the church, (1st Cor Ch 12 v 28), and what's more I have been greatly blessed by such teachers. I was in no way implying that we don't need teachers, in fact the verses I refered to by way of trying to help some one to understand the written word, were in fact spoken by the Living Word, when teaching in the temple, See John Ch 7 vs 14-18. May the Lord bless you abundantly. ebrain. |

475 | calling all sinners | Matt 13:11 | ebrain | 160785 | ||
In support of what Doc has posted, let me add John Ch 6 vs 44, and 65, also Romans Ch 8 vs 28-30. This is a difficult subject. It is not my intention to explain what I believe these verses teach, but rather allow the Holy Spirit to do that for you as you read them. Make sure that you allways read Scripture verses in their context, and allways do what Jesus told you to do as revealed at John Ch 7 vs 16-17. If when you read, it is your will that God's will be done, and you really mean it, then you will know exactly what God is saying to you. Not "you will find out" as NIV translates, but you will "know" there and then as you read. God is awesome, boy is He awesome. Praise His Holy Name. ebrain. |

476 | the perfect couple deal with nakedness | Gen 2:25 | ebrain | 160784 | ||
There is nothing to be ashamed of about the naked human body that God had made. Shame did not exist when man was sinless, but came into existance as a result of man becoming a sinner. Only fallen mankind could regard as shamefull what a pure and Holy God had made. |

477 | Trinity | John 1:1 | ebrain | 160760 | ||
Understanding the Trinity is beyond human comprehention, however,the Lord does not require our understanding, but only that we take Him at His word, and believe Him. This we are able to do by exercising the gift of faith that He has given to each one of us. That is why Hebrews Ch 11 v 6, is so important. Matthew Ch 28 v 19, tells us to Baptize in the name (singular) not names (plural) of three persons. The Trinity is refered to right throught out Scripture, granted more so in the NT, but it is also found in the OT, let me give you just two OT, examples. Read Isaiah Ch 48 vs 12-16, but don't go all the way through v 16 just yet, read only the first two thirds of the verse, stop when you come to "I have been there". Now ask yourself the question, who is speaking?, the answer has to be none other that the LORD our God, read the rest of the verse and see who you think the first two thirds of this verse are refering to?. Look at Ex Ch 3 vs 6, 15, and Ch 4 v 5, three times He says "I am the God of three persons", and this He says three times, but v 16 of Ch 3 reads "the God of Abraham,of Isaac,and Jacob". The definate article "the" which is used three times in the other three verses is only used once in this verse 16, it is also the only verse of the four quoted above that includes "LORD". So there are 3 verses that indicate Trinity, whereas there is only one verse that indicates unity. |

478 | Christ waslking through hell | Ezek 31:1 | ebrain | 160710 | ||
There is no Biblical referance that I am aware of that speaks of Christ walking through hell. Just before He died upon the cross He said "it is finished", in other words "nothing further is frquired". There is a Scripture that some people think indicates this, ie, 1st Peter Ch 3 v 19, however, it refers to the Spirit of Christ in Noah proclaiming to the people in Noah's day, (who are now in prison) just what was going to happen to them if they did not repent. I hope this is of some help. The Lord bless you. ebrain. |

479 | Did Eve hope she would be Jesus mother ? | Gen 4:1 | ebrain | 160598 | ||
Thank you Mark, and Kalos for your input, perhaps Eve was overjoyed because she had produced the "seed" that would bruise the head of Satan refered to in Gen Ch 3 v 15. Thank's again for your help. The Lord bless you. ebrain, |
||||||
480 | Did Eve hope she would be Jesus mother ? | Gen 4:1 | ebrain | 160549 | ||
I have been told that the words 'with the help of' are not found in the original Hebrew, and that it should read 'I have gotten a man child, the LORD'. In other words she thought that she had given birth to the Messiah, however I am not sure that this is in fact the correct interpritation. I shall be glad to hear what others have to say on this matter. Every blesing. ebrain. |
