481 | Concept of a 'just war' Biblical? | Bible general Archive 4 | Tamara Brewington | 203859 | ||
What is the truth about the "just war" concept? Is there such a thing as a "just war". Luther and Calvin thought there was based on a need to remove tryanical kings in order to relieve the people of bodily harm. Some Reformed theologians think so, they base their concept on Hebrews 11:32-34 because these saints who had faith were commended for fighting on behalf of Israel and on a father protecting his family in times of war, they call this the morality of war. Scriptures and opinions please. | ||||||

484 | Wisdom as Evangelism? | Not Specified | Tamara Brewington | 203845 | ||
I came across a stituation in which I was evangelising with someone. They are more educated than me by a long shot, two seminaries, one big degree and such. I did not know this person very well and was taking class from them, we went out to the park for class credit. This guy was trying to catch fish by asking passers by if they would like to discuss The Moral Argument, The Cosmological Argument, The Anthroplogical Argument, The Teological Argument and so on. Passers by who were caught would be presented with an argument for that God exists as The Absolute Moral Law Giver, The Uncaused Cause, The Creater of Man in His Image, The Intelliegent Maker of Creation and so on. Then this guy would point out the fatal flaw in the rational of the passer through setting an intellectual trap by showing them how their veiw was hypocritical, lacked rationality or otherwise did not measure up to the logic and wisdom of what he had presented as his argument. This was an Apologetics course and the point was to learn how to apologize for the faith. After pointing out their fatal flaw he would then try to get them to admit God existed, if he could get them to do that, then and only then would he give them the gospel message of Christ's atoning death. He invited me to something called,"spiritual munchies", a get together of believers and nonbelievers to hear a bit of Jesus wisdom from the gospels. The scripture was Mathew 7:1-5. I sat there for two hours while we ate and discussed the elements of the text, like what is a log in your eye and what is a measure of judgment. The unbelievers were never given the gospel message of Christ's atoning death. I confronted this guy and asked why he didn't just give them the message that could save and that it bothered me that we were being unequaly yoked with unbelievers studying scripture that has the power to equip the saved with wisdom, but which does not have the information necessary to save. He said the wisdom of Jesus has the power to draw people salvifically to God and that he was doing pre-evangelism. He said there is a mandate to use wisdom to evagelize. I said the aposltes never used wisdom to evangelize in fact Paul talks a lot about not using wisdom to evangelize because they are seeking wisdom and that Christ and His atonement are our wisdom according to Paul. He accused me of hiding behind the gospel and being unwilling to deal intellectualy with people who can respond to rational,logical wisdom in order to get saved and that my methods of giving people the scriptures and the message of Christ's atonement was running away from the world. I Corinthians 2:1-8, 1:18-31, Colossians 2:2-10. Scripture to support his point if you think it can be validated, opinions please. | ||||||

488 | When was Revelations written. | Revelation | Tamara Brewington | 203840 | ||
Revelation not Revelations there is only one Revelation not several, that is first. Next, Johnn wrote Revelation about 95 AD, after the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD to the seven churchs listed in chapters 2,3. He was giving them prophetic warning of what would happen directly to their churchs in chapters 2,3, the rest of Revelation was referring to the distant future, contrary to some commentary. The warning contained in the rest of the book apply to the distant future. Some commentaries like to see Revelation as a duoble prophecy like some that occured in the OT, but it's not that. Their reason is that because Rome did fall they see the great harlot of Babylon as being both Rome then and Rome now. The other theory these theologians have that dove tails with this idea that it is mostly about Rome as a world power falling twice is because of the rise to power of the Catholic church through the centuries and they see this as the world wide political and religious machine that the great harlot Babylon represents because in chapter 17 this is talking about the destruction of the religious Babylon world system and chapter 18 is talking about the destruction of the economic Babylon world system which are both run by the Anti-Christ and then both ancient Rome and the Catholic church are seen by them as being the Anti-Christ. They see the Anti-Christ as being Ceasar of ancient Rome and the Pope of modern Catholicism. This overlooks that not enough of the prophey ever came true in the time of Ceasar when Rome fell and that the Anti-Christ must fulfill certain prophecies that have not yet come to pass, like dying for real and raising from the dead by the power of Satan, like the False Prophet arising and doing miracles in order to testify of the Anti-Christ by making an idol that speaks, like the absence seen in Revelation of the church no longer being spoken of as being on the earth after chapter 3, like smome of the seals of judgment falling to earth. But these commenators get around this by saying it has not yet occured to the Pope and the Catholic church that they have risen to this height of power and that the judgment has not yet fallen down to earth. The predictions are more about the destruction of the entire world before and during the rule of the Anti-Christ who is a real person and the False Prophet who is a real person and about the desctruction of the religious and economic system they will create and rule over and it is also about the desctruction of whichever actual city that the Anti-Christ rules from and about the destruction of all the unbelievers in chapter 19 than it is about the destruction of Israel. Israel has yet to rise to power as the Bible predicts it will in Revelation and then the Anti-Christ will desacrate a new temple that will have been built there. A lot of people see Israel as well on its way to having been risen to power already, but they miss the fact that God has not yet called all the Jews back to Israel in the way the Bible described it. People don't like to hear this neither Christians who are in favor of Israel at present nor Jews who revere their holy land. But the fact is Israel is going to be re-set up by the Anti-Christ and given back as a false gesture to the Jews who will flock to the holy land enmass in a way we have not yet seen. And it won't be accomplished by taking Palestine by force from the Palestinians. The destruction of Israel will be accomplished by the Anti-Christ who is the one who will turn on them and pour out his wrath because the Jews will refuse to worship him and he will defile their newly built temple. And this is why the Israel we see now is not the Israel that will come to power, the Anti-Christ is not yet on the scene and the temple has not been rebuilt yet. | ||||||
489 | Doc about that Us and Our wrong question | Bible general Archive 4 | Tamara Brewington | 203814 | ||
Thanks Doc... Hey thanks for spending the time with a new jack, been walking in the Lord for 10 years and trying to make sure I can find the scriptures for why I believe what I believe. I am going to school for the Bible but not seminary or college. I keep pushing myself because I literaly lost my mind and got diagnosed with all kinds of stuff for two years. The only thing that would clear up my symptoms was trying to craft sermons and articles, I would stop slurring my speech and be able to think straight. I finaly threw the pills away and dedicated the whole thing to God and got completely healed no more hallucinations etc. Now that I see that the Lord God is pushing me to study I can't give it up because every time I don't I get physically sick or mentally sick, this has been ever since I got out of the hopsital in 1995. I was in there because my kidneys imploded like nova stars. I was unconscious and Jesus was there and He said to me, you have not walked with me,and you don't konw me very well, but you got saved in 1982, do you want to come home, or do you want to go back out and bring me fruit? I said I want to bring you fruit Lord Jesus. I woke up and was told I was still dying and the Nephrologist came and said I am Catholic but I believe in the blood of Jesus. Who are you? I said I am a child of the most high God and I believe in the blood of Jesus. He said then pray for a miracle because there is no donor for you, they want to cut your kidneys out and dialyze you until you die in 7 years. I don't care what your denomination is tell me why you believe. I told him what happened while I was under and that I had asked Jesus for salvation after repenting in 1982 but never read the Bible or went to church to find out about how to walk with Jesus. He told me to start reading the NT and he dialyzed the junk out for 30 days and 30 nights. On the 30th day he says you aren't making it your organs are melting go back and ask the Father what to pray. I cried and went back to the room and prayed Father in the name of Jesus what should I pray. I heard a thought, pray to the Holy Spirit, for you know not what to pray as you ought to pray. I prayed Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus what should I pray? The thought came immediately, Pray to the Father that Jesus will heal your kidneys and do God's work in your body so that you can get out of the hospital and do God's work. Now, Doc, I prayed, but doubted, but the very next morning the doctors were surrounding my bed and the Catholic Nephrologist was there. And they kept on saying this cannot be her, where is the surgical scar? And the Catholic Nephrologist said I keep on telling you, it is not possible for her kidneys to have regenerated because there were no more compartments and the blood vessels inside were almost completely gone. And I keep on saying to you that this is a real medical miracle. That morning Doc, my kidneys were miraculously healed, and I was able to get out of the hosiptal on the 40th day as if I had been on the Ark. My story is longer than this and it was a long way to full recovery. But things come in seasons and for a long time I had a season of praise in song until my voice left. And for a long time I had a season of grace giving and now I am in a season of studing that God has seemed to require of me. I do it out of love, but I also do it out of obedience to love the Lord your God with all your heart all your mind and all your soul. God bless Doc tell me your testimony sometime I have more to tell, I had a season of miracles. By the way I am a Baptist not a Pentecostal(some think I am a charismatic, but I don't)www.whatdoyoubelieve@hotmail.com Tamara | ||||||
490 | Doc help me, textual criticism website? | Gen 1:21 | Tamara Brewington | 203811 | ||
I can see from going over my notes from class that my first question about wanting something on textual criticism was the right questions. I tried lookling at the Masoretic English transliteration and found it was the same as the Mamre text in its basic content. I will take your word for it that somehow the words Us and Our belong. I thank God I found someone (besides my pastor who is also one of my professors whom I bug to death, he says he doesn't mind)who is way way deeper in the word than I am... Thanks Doc God Bless, Tam | ||||||

Perhaps you can help me. whatdoyoubelieve@hotmail.com I am praying that you are not being persecuted for your faith over there and that you are allowed to actualy worship Jesus in church and hear the gospel for real... God bless you. | ||||||

Thanks Doc, I have Stuart and Fee's How to Study the Bible for all its Worth and Stuart and Fee's Studying the Bible Book by Book and all of Norman D. Geilser's Systematic Theology and Wayene Grudem's Stematic Theology. I understand the principles of exegesis and hermeneutics and critical and literary criticism and am applying them all. So tell me, my dear brother in Chirst, I think you are probably deeper than me(pretty sure about that part), I just went into where you sent me with that link, problem that again is an English transliteration of Hebrew. Question Doc, realy seriously, are you certain that they didn't also add something that the literal translation, which looks and sounds choppy, did not have to make it readable, and where would I go on the web for some serious textual criticism on this? Beyond intrigued cause you might atcualy know where to go! |

496 | Thank you Lionheart but where is it? | Gen 1:21 | Tamara Brewington | 203794 | ||
Lionheart, I am thinking that the writers of the Greek Septuagint, which is the Greek version of the Hebrew Torah, from which we get our 5 books of the law in the Old Testament(as opposed to the Jews who do not use the Septuagint, but the Hebrew Torah) decided to translate the words make and likeness as, let Us make, and, in Our likeness, to fit their theology that Elohim is a triune God. But my God man, that is eisegesis isn't it? We are supposed to do exegesis, pulling out of the text the real meaning, not putting into the text our impression of what it should mean. The Hebrew Alphabet didn't change from then to now, it's still the same, the translation of the Ancient Torah says the exact same thing that the Strong's says it says and the Jews never changed the language of it to fit modern times, they speak other languages now, rather than Hebrew but kept the language of their holy books intact in writing and speech from then to now. My wonderment is if the Septuagint which is the Greek translation of the Hebrew Torah, which was written by first century Christians added Us and Our to jive with their beleifs in order to make the Bible conform to those beliefs... I get what you are saying about symbology and metaphors, but Genesis as narrative is historical literature in nature and does not employ the devices of symbolism like Daniel for instance and metaphors like in the Parables for instance (although some would disagree because they don't believe what it says happened word for word and say it is metaphorical myth with symbolic language to get people to understand that God created the world somehow or other, but not that way, they don't like talking serpents and trees that kill, or death from sin). I will keep trying to discover why this ambiguity exists... | ||||||
497 | which apostle in the bible payed rent | 2 Timothy | Tamara Brewington | 203793 | ||
Paul supposedly rented a room at Rome during an imprisonment there. But you wil not find that in your Bible because it is not there. Theologians have deduced that this was so perhaps based on Eusubius who wrote about Paul and commentators are pretty much in agreement that this is a fact. You won't find this in Josephus either, both Eusubius and Josephus were historians at the time. Which is how we know how the aposltes died. | ||||||
498 | Thank you Lionheart but where is it? | Gen 1:21 | Tamara Brewington | 203788 | ||
Yeah I hear you Lionheart already did that, that part was clear what is not clear is that the word Our and Us is not really there in your Strong's or in any other translation of the actual Hebrew, the concept is not the problem that the word was added by somebody and why is the problem. I am using the Esword and the Scriptureanalayzer4all and those words Our and Us are not actually there in Hebrew! Its fine to point everyone to that Elohim means gods plural, the triune God, but that does not adequately explain the Us and Our not realy being in the true text. | ||||||

Hey I have to prepare to do Bible Study tomorrow morning in case the teacher is ansent. Here is the question about Genesis... I was doing a word study and came across a puzzle perhaps someone deeper that me can solve this puzzle; Gensis chapter one, verse 1:26 in Hebrew it does not say the words Us or Our when talking about creating man as our English tranlations do... Does anybody know who added the Us and Our, was it the Septuagint or what and why did they add it because without it actualy reads in straight Hebrew; "and He is saying Elohim make mankind in image as likenss and they shall over the flyer of the heavens and in beast and in all the earth and in every moving the one moving on land"? | ||||||
