4801 | will the world end soon | Matt 25:13 | EdB | 17335 | ||
CDBJ Come on be a honest admit it you were looking for an opportunity to expound on your belief on mid trib rapture and really didn't read what I had said. Don't make it sound like I was rejecting your "facts", which I wasn't. The issue of pre trib, mid trib or post trib is not a big concern to me since I get through each and every day by and in the grace of Jesus Christ. However you did make a great point which is now all but lost. That point being that many Christians can be so shaken by some event that they will even turn to false teachers for answers. CDBJ please don't try to make me look like fool because you didn't read what I first had said. |

4802 | When may a church compromise the Bible? | Hebrews | EdB | 17324 | ||
Kelkat you can and may disagree but unless you believe God as Jesus went to hell and allowed Satan and his demons to torment him, then you do not believe in the same god as these other individuals. Unless you believe God acts in much the same way as a parking valet waiting to run to answer your every beck and call, you do not believe in that same god as these individuals. Unless you believe God is approx. 9 feet tall and has a hand approx 10” across, you do not believe in the same god as these individuals. Unless you believe God tricked Satan and sneaked upon the earth through the birth of Jesus, you do not believe in the same god as this individuals. Unless you believe God lost control of the earth at Garden of Eden and did not regain it back until the death of Jesus, you do not believe in the same god as these individuals. If you do not believe God exists to make you healthy, wealthy and generally without problems, you do not believe in the same god as these individuals. If you do not believe God has to perform everything you speak in faith, you do not believe in the same god as these individuals. Yes you can and may disagree but then you don’t believe in A Sovereign, Almighty, Owns the Cattle on a Thousand Hills, Does What He Wants, Awesome God who is a spirit and must be worshipped in Spirit and Truth, you believe in the god of these individuals.

4803 | Can a christian be cremated? | 1 Sam 31:12 | EdB | 17328 | ||
Actually the handling of the body is what is important. If the body is being disposed of with little or no respect then there is a problem. However if the body is being treated with dignity and respect then there isn't. Decomposition is process of oxidation, fire is just a rapid form of oxidation, so the process is the same, only the time element is effected. |

Put your soap box away and read what I said. I really don't care which position you support. Pre trib and mid trib have been discussed at great length here. All I said was, what you said about "Christians" flocking to false teachers when something rattles their world is true and should be alarming to the church in general. | ||||||
4805 | When may a church compromise the Bible? | Hebrews | EdB | 17235 | ||
Kelkat How in the world can you mention Focus on the Family and D. James Kennedy in the same sentence with those other names. Focus on the Family and D James Kennedy talk of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Creator of all, the Most High God, A Sovereign God, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, the God of Hebrews 11. The others talk of a god of their own making. A created god, An almost as high as us god, a god that panders to their will and whim. A god that wants earth perfect (healthy, wealthy and happy) for his followers so we can call this home, so they are no longer consider themselves aliens and pilgrims, they no longer look for a better place, but rather they consider this home and become home bodies. People who will pay no attention to Hebrews 11. |

4807 | Rev. 18:9-19 sounds like WTC? | Rev 18:9 | EdB | 17230 | ||
Scroggs Many hold that the Babylon of Rev. is in fact Babylon rebuilt. They further believe Isaiah was seeing the immediate future with the Medes destroying the city and the distant future where God will destroy it. Others see this prophecy as coming to past gradually, where it will finally become desolate. Many Arabs will not spend a night in the city believing it is haunted. In any case for New York and the WTC to fulfill Revelation prophecy the devastation would have to been even more extensive. The devastation described in Revelation is the total collapse of commerce, economics, and trade in general for the City Babylon. While all of this was severely impacted by the WTC attacks we know none of the destruction occurred to such completeness. Again not trying to downplay the horrendous nature of what took place, or to minimize the seriousness or violence of the attacks we tend to hold an overly magnified view of America in relation to rest of the world. Especially in light of Biblical prophecy which is devoid of any mention of United States or America. David Wilkerson explained this lack of mention of America in prophecy as being caused by a previous financial collapse of America either through reckless manipulation of the financial market or by internal anarchy. That to me is a far more likely scenario, especially in light of the house of cards we call Wall Street, designed and built by men that cared for little more that today’s profits. |

4808 | Rev. 18:9-19 sounds like WTC? | Rev 18:9 | EdB | 17214 | ||
Scroggs Your theology has a problem. You said, It can be Babylon of Iraq since Isaiah 13:20 says the original Babylon will never be inhabited again. Saturday evening there was program on TV showing the festivities of the modern city Babylon build on the ruins of Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon. To me it looked pretty much the same as Las Vegas here in the US. By the way the city was rebuilt in the late 80’s early 90’s using our gas money. Since we know scripture never lies you may want to rethink you interpretation of Is. 13:20 |

4809 | Did Jesus spend 3 days in hell? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 17210 | ||
Rextar Hell or Hades changed dramatically after the death and resurrection of Jesus. Before it was the resting place of both he righteous (paradise side or Abraham’s bosom) and the unrighteous ( traditional hell hot dry place). After the Cross and resurrection Hades became the holding place for only the unrighteous. Abraham’s bosom no longer existed, everyone that was held there was lead captive by Christ to Heaven. In Acts 2:31 Luke is still referring to the pre resurrection Hades that contained both righteous and unrighteous. 1 Pet 3:19 tells us again that Jesus went to the pre resurrection Hades where he preached the Good News. Phil 2:10 I believe is a picture of the second coming of Christ where every “creature” will kneel and confess Jesus is LORD. |

4810 | Did Jesus spend 3 days in hell? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 17208 | ||
Kalos Well said, and let me add, this is a putrid doctrine. Hell is not the place of final punishment the Lake of Fire is. To manufacture the story that Jesus went to hell to be tormented is just that, manufactured, as there is no biblical support on which to base such a conclusion. To say Jesus went to hell to fight Satan is pure ignorance, obviously they don’t know where Satan is at, it sure isn’t hell. To make the work of the Cross with the presentation of Christ’s blood in Heaven any less than what was needed for our full salvation is pure heresy and attempts to cheapen what Jesus did. My question is, can a person that would teach this junk be anything other than a false teacher/prophet? |

4811 | will the world end soon | Matt 25:13 | EdB | 17200 | ||
CDBJ The battle of pre trib and mid trib has raged for years, I have an opinion as does everyone. However you said one thing that to me is prophetic, ‘if anything occurs contradictory to what their Pastor has said many Christians will run in all direction even into the arms of false teachers and prophets.’ Maybe it is time for Christians to step up and become responsible for what they believe because they have studied and prayed and this is what the Holy Spirit has shown them. |

4812 | Can I trust this Pastor? | Hebrews | EdB | 17174 | ||
Jensen Yes you are correct almost any verse in the bible can be refuted with another, when taken out of context. Your also right some men in the pulpit have been preaching their own gospel by doing exactly this, taking scripture out of context. However there are honest and trustworthy men in many of the this world’s pulpits. Men that have an honest desire to do nothing more than to preach the Good News. Do they have all the answers? No. Will they be wrong at times? Yes. Do they have human failings? Yes. Can you trust them? Yes, even with your life! Does that relieve you of responsibility for your spiritual well being? No, we are to still study to show ourselves approved. I say all of this to get to this point. You will never find a perfect pastor, but if you are willing you can find a man you can receive from. Trust will then have to be established and built. However of this I am certain if you stop looking, you will never find a man to pastor you. And that my beloved friend is a very dangerous place to find yourself. Keep looking, not all pastors are out to prove something, impress someone, or even to dazzle you with many words. Many are honest men with an honest love, seeking to help, instruct and encourage the flock God gave them to shepherd. God Bless you and I pray your search will continue Ed |

4813 | will the world end soon | Matt 25:13 | EdB | 17099 | ||
Please! Do not misunderstand me! I’m not minimizing the tragedy that took place Sept 11, 2001 in any way! Again let me say this what took place in New York and Washington DC and in the hills of Pennsylvania was a terrible tragedy, a hideous crime, and a cowardly act! Anyway you look at it 7000 plus people dead is a disaster. However that many and more have died in other countries in one day and went unnoticed by anyone in the America. There was no talk of God’s judgment, no talk of end of time, in fact most of the time it never made our news. Because it happened here we start talking about the end of the world. The inverse is also true if a revival break out we claim it to be the beginning of the World wide revival. Yet in Argentina they have been having longer and bigger revivals than the US has ever seen. The Christians in America have got to start getting a world perspective of what God is doing. We are so self centered that if it happens to the US it is God, if it happens to any other country it is a yawn. God is God of the world not just the United States of America. Again I am not in any way trying to minimize the tragedy that just took place. |

4814 | Should this verse apply today? | Matt 15:4 | EdB | 17098 | ||
Micah Okay we both agree we are not under the law spiritually. But this commandment carried a societal punishment which was death. I understand Jesus paid for our spiritual punishment but are you also saying he paid for our societal punishment? By that I mean if we catch a murderer should we just allow them to go free once they accept Jesus? I don’t think your saying that. So what are you saying? If someone breaks the this commandment two things happen, first he is in rebellion against God (sins), which is the spiritual aspect of this commandment. However there is also the societal aspect. Which is the second and carried a condemnation of death, this nothing to do with his salvation, he can be very much saved, but commandment says he should not be allowed to live among people. Now I realize our society would never stand for that, and I think this is what makes this question so interesting. By ignoring God’s command do we find ourselves in opposition to God once again? |

4818 | Can I trust this Pastor? | Hebrews | EdB | 16957 | ||
Jensen I can not tell you how my heart goes out to you. But I caution you don't let the failure of a man keep you from the blessings God has for you. Don’t let your past dictate your future. Once we come to Christ we become new creations, the old passes away 2 Cor. 5:17. From that point on we have a choice, hang on to the past or move on. I pray you will move on. Keeping yourself away from like minded believers steals so much of your Christian life, I pray you will reconsider and seek out a pastor you can trust and a church that will love you. You are in my prayers Be blessed and be a blessing EdB |

4819 | The Glory of Israel | Num 23:19 | EdB | 16911 | ||
Ray for some crazy reason when I answered your previous question to me I could not see this response. | ||||||
4820 | The Glory of Israel | Num 23:19 | EdB | 16876 | ||
Ray First I think the passage you refer to in Hebrews is Heb 2:6, is that correct? If it is the Psalm you then refer to would be Ps 8:4. If those two assumptions are right and I believe they are, then passage could be talking about Humanity "son of man" of Jesus "Son of Man". At first blush when I read it I see humanity and therefore the passage should be "son of man". After reading it over and over I can see Jesus but, I think that is still forcing the interpretation. In both Hebrews and Psalms the writer is comparing humanity to deity, or the position of man in reference to God. To Capitalize "son of man" here would bring in another completely different thought, and one I would say that is not supported by context. However the issue of the capitalization of this Heb 2:6 is sticky even the NLT offers it as an alternative. Be blessed my Brother EdB |
