Ray I think by capitalizing it changes the meaning. I have checked nearly every translation I could think of and none capitalize this, most agree it is a comparison between God and Man only. The Son of Man (Jesus) is never mentioned in this passage. Consider these two translations of the passage. Numbers 23:19 NLT God is not a man, that he should lie. He is not a human, that he should change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through? Numbers 23:19 God’s Word God is not like people. He tells no lies. He is not like humans. He doesn't change his mind. When he says something, he does it. When he makes a promise, he keeps it. For your consideration and thought Ed |

Ray I'm afraid you got tangled in my typo. I meant to say I don't think Son of Man should be capitalized here. As I said capitalization to me talks of deity. I think this passage is making a comparison between God and man. I bleieve the reference to son of man is referring to a natural man rather than the Son of Man (Jesus). I say this because Jesus never had to repent and again in this passage it is making a comparison between God and man that had to repent. I think the passage should read "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent;..." not as your stated "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a Son of Man, that He should repent;..." I'm sorry about the misunderstanding, sometimes I can type faster than I can think. Is that good or bad? EdB |

4827 | Violence against innocent Arab Americans | 1 Cor 16:14 | EdB | 16763 | ||
Vengence or revenge of any kind is wrong. Any action outside of justice is wrong. People that do things like beating up two Muslim girls are no better than the people that flew the plane into the Towers. If who ever did this is so brave and so outraged let them become soldiers and lead the first wave of action in defense of this nation. Imagine they are probably too YELLOW for that. | ||||||

Yes I think it does, perhaps the reading from NKJV makes it a little clearer. 2 Cor. 5:8 “We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.” If your not satisfied with that passage try Philip. 1:23 “For I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.” Here we see Paul saying he is torn between two choices, one to stay on earth or two depart and be with Christ. We see in Luke 23:43 “And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise." Jesus assured the repentant thief that he would be with Christ in Paradise. That is where Jesus went to preach the Good News and then lead them all to heaven “He lead captivity captive”. Finally if all else fails read 1 Thes. 5:10 “who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.” This is the promise that Jesus is never far from us either in life or death. I pray these will help you in your search for truth, I always keep Psalm 116:15 “Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His saints.” as food for encouragement. |

Charis I have to jump in here for just a moment, I can tell you for a fact unilateral disarmament will not turn the world around. How? The Bible tells me so. Jesus said in the last days there will be wars and rumors of wars. No matter what happens this world will never have peace until the Shiloh comes the second time. Be Blessed my brother Ed |

I won't think the Son of Man should be capitalized in Numbers 23:18. Capitalized to me speaks of deity and the deity I would call the Son of Man is Jesus. And Jesus never had to repent. I think the passage should read. "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent;..." |

Many beleive one of the sins of the Nicolaitans was their desire to exalt clergy over laity. I'm not saying any of you are Nicolaitans but I see no where in the Bible that says Baptism is anything other than Baptism or that it has to be done by any special person. As I answered Louder if both are believers and he feels God is giving him the permission to do so, then he should go for it. |

4833 | Spirit of the Lord Go to white house | Revelation | EdB | 16654 | ||
I believe this is exactly what the bible says it is in 2 Tim. 3:1-5 "But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. [2] For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, [3] unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, [4] treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, [5] holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these." Of this I am sure, each day we live is one day closer to the return of Jesus Christ! |

Sir Pent First let me say I do not think your a humanist. However you like most of us have been influenced to some degree by the humanist. I think the magnified value of human life many hold is based in humanism. While I believe in free will, I also believe God through the Holy Spirit plays a big past in salvation. I have prayed with and for many people that said to me they had no idea what made them come to saving knowledge of the Holy Spirit. I have seen people walk in from the street and say I don't know what I'm doing here but something told me to come in, I want to know Jesus! I have seen a man preach a whole sermon in English (he does not know Spanish) and have a woman come forward to receive Christ. He talked to her and she to him and together they prayed the prayer of salvation, it was only after the service did anyone learn the woman only talked Spanish and had heard everything in Spanish. How did she hear him and he her? I say the Holy Spirit. I know my life there was a time that I just knew that I knew I had to get right with the Lord. Do I think I could have done anything to mess any of these incidents up? I would have to say NO! I believe anyone that is going to come to Christ will have the opportunity before they die, I think this is what is meant by God wills that none would perish. Therefore to me your argument does not hold up. |

Let me post this again I have no idea how the first got so messed up. Sorry about that. To answer your question Brian. I think they can be Christians that have mistakenly accepted a humanist position. That position then puts them in conflict with the word of God. God clearly said that if "thou shall not kill" and if you do murder someone, you have then forfeited your life and are to be executed. If you justify the sanctity of life by saying you shall not kill you have to accept the punishment. If you justify the sanctity of life by some other value system you have just applied a humanist value, and have entered into humanist reasoning. When you enter into humanist reasoning you open the door which allow justifying various types of murder we see so common today. Murder where there was “extenuating circumstances”, “justifiable murder” (yea your guilty but the person deserved to die), “abortion”, and etc. Now I’m not saying all people that are against the death penalty accepts any these, they may and hopefully do stand strong against each one. The fact remains that by ignoring God’s definitions and values as it pertains to life and the penalties for one who violate them, they have opened the door that allowed humanist reasoning to come in and the results are what I speak about above. They are then by definition a humanist. |

This is basically on the lines of what I was taught, I just wondered if you had something more definitive. Of course we could ask old Joseph Smith (Mormon) he claimed them to be a pair of giant spectacles much like clowns wear, oh well perhaps another day. Blessed Tim and have a great Sunday EdB |

4839 | Did we witness a miracle this week? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 16430 | ||
Right on Steve!!!! Many talk of miracles but ignore the true miracle of salvation. If someone was spared by miracle from death that miracle will exist for a lifetime. However if someone accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and savior that miracle lives for eternity. Personally while temporal or physical miracles are exciting, I would rather see an eternal miracle of a rebirth in Christ any time. | ||||||

I agree with you entirely except that Humanist view of human life tends to be exalted above God's view. In fact many humanist believe they are "god". Their contention is there is good in everyone we just need to find it develop and bring it out. They completely reject that we are born in sin destined to death and hell. To a humanist life is far more important than salvation, righteousness or God. To a humanist life is above the law, and therefore the law be it biblical law or governmental law must conform to that belief. |
