582 | Explain eye for eye/turn cheek? | Matt 5:1 | Pastor Glenn | 60578 | ||
Here is a quote from a previous post: "Searcher: "Matthew 5:21,22 *You have heard.... But I say to you.* See vv. 27, 31, 33, 38:, 43. The quotes are from Ex. 20:13; Deut. 5:17. Jesus was not altering the terms of the law in any of these passages. Rather, he was correcting what they had 'heard' -- the rabbinical understanding of the law." "Matthew 5:38 *An eye for an eye.* The law did establish this standard as a principle for limiting retribution to that which was just (Ex. 21:24; Lev. 24:20; Deut. 19:21). Its design was to insure that the punishment in civil cases fit the crime. It was never meant to sanction acts of personal retaliation. So again Jesus made no alteration to the true meaning of the law. He was mere explaining and affirming the law's true meaning" (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). Grace to you, John" The key is "...Its design was to insure that the punishment in civil cases fit the crime. It was never meant to sanction acts of personal retaliation. So again Jesus made no alteration to the true meaning of the law. He was mere explaining and affirming the law's true meaning" (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). ..." The old testament law concerning this was a guide for the Israeli government (after the cops are called). But people were using this as a bases for taking PERSONAL revenge (vigilante or mob justice).

583 | ALL christians in speaking out on sin? | Matt 7:2 | Pastor Glenn | 60572 | ||
Prayon, Excellent comments. As a followup question: So far we have talked about preachers. But, what is the responsibility of ALL christians in speaking out on sin? Is there a difference? Also, I would like everyone's permission to print your responses for bible class discussion. God bless, Pastor Glenn |

New Creature, Very well said. How about this verse that you posted? 1 Cor. 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. It appears to refer to "THOSE INSIDE". Does that mean that it is OK to eat with this person AFTER he is excommunicated? Also, do we treat this person differently than those sinners that have not called themselves "Christian"? God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

585 | Is it wrong to preach against sin? | Matt 7:2 | Pastor Glenn | 60552 | ||
Does this verse mean that we should not preach against the sins of others because we will be guilty of "Judging" others? I have heard this scripture quoted many times from "church go'ers". John the baptist was beheaded after preaching against sin. Was he wrong? Pastor Glenn |

586 | Where did the jewish nation come in? | Gen 35:10 | Pastor Glenn | 59930 | ||
Genesis 32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. Genesis 35:10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. Exo 1:1 Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob. Exo 1:2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, Exo 1:3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, Exo 1:4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. Exo 1:5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already. Exo 1:6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation. Exo 1:7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them. Pastor Glenn |

Very well said Debbie, However, about Hitler; Hitler and everyone like him in history matches up well to the following scripture (the dragon): Rev 12:17 So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. Bless You, Pastor Glenn |

Hank, Why was prophecy written? I understand the concern of many Christians that dogmatic speculations can be bad for the spread of the Gospel. But it is also bad to ignore prophecy for fear of being wrong. We may be wrong about how we match up current events to scripture. But the scriptures are never wrong. Everything that was written will happen. You seem to be saying "dogmatic or not just stay away from prophecy". 2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; Apparently this scripture is wrong. It should say "...all scripture 'except prophecy' is profitable for teaching..." Maybe this is bad advice too: Acts 5:38 "So in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men, it will be overthrown; Acts 5:39 but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found fighting against God."

Very well said EdB, I understand the concern of many Christians that dogmatic speculations can be bad for the spread of the Gospel. But it is also bad to ignore prophecy for fear of being wrong. We may be wrong about how we match up current events to scripture. But the scriptures are never wrong. Everything that was written will happen, no matter how often we interpret things wrong. You mention a number of very interesting observations of your own. Scripture indicates that a world wide monetary system and a world wide government will be ready for the Antichrist to assume command in the end. But Christ will take it all back! Praise God. Dan 2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. God Bless, Pastor Glenn |

John and Makarios, You ask:"How would it profit the furtherence of the Kingdom of God? " The real question is how would it profit the furtherence of the kindom of God by using personal attacks, intimidation, and control the way John did to EdB?

Brother John, You said:"Speculation in itself is can be a dangerous exercise. It can lead to the sinful practice of reading the scripture in the "light" of man's wisdom." Does this mean that it is wrong to ask the question as to whether Al-Qaeda or others that hate the Lamb (Christianity and Israel) and the Harlot that rides the beast could be part of Rev 17? It is true that God has not revealed everything we would like to know: Revelation 10:4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. 1Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. However, we already know that the spirit of antichrist is with everyone that denies that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh: 1John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 2John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. If there is something wrong with comparing todays events to Revelation scripture then why were these prophesies written? Some things were sealed and not written while others were written. Why? "...spin it however they want." Huh? Who really was it that held the Christian Missionaries hostage in Afganistan last year? And who really destroyed the twin towers in New York? Or did these things really happen? Pastor Glenn |

594 | Danger in "revelation theory" only. | Rev 17:16 | Pastor Glenn | 59580 | ||
Debbie, I think you are right about the dangers of having "revelation theory" as the only interest in our Christian study. I also agree that God does not want us to live in fear of the antichrist. However, we do need a healthy fear of the warnings of God as Noah had: Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. As for Al-Qaeda, maybe they are not the ten kings, but there is indication that they may represent a part of the beast himself, while those that provide funding are "as kings" for one hour with the beast(Rev 17:12). 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength(money?) unto the beast. It is important to identify all personallities here: the Ten kings, The Harlot, and the beast. While they are all enemies of the Lamb, the Ten Kings are also enemies of the Harlot that rides the beast. Bless you- Pastor Glenn |

595 | Isn't every word of God vital to us? | Rev 17:16 | Pastor Glenn | 59536 | ||
Debbie, You said "Speculation will do nothing for the Kingdom - action w/prayer will! " Should we then ignore all other prophecies except for the promise of Jesus' return? Jesus said: Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Isn't every word of God vital to our lives? Deuteronomy 8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Was it "speculation" that allowed the wise men to recognize Jesus' star at His birth? Or was it a deep analysis of every word of the Hebrew scriptures(the Old Testament). |

596 | Can these Ten Kings be "Al-Qaeda"? | Rev 17:16 | Pastor Glenn | 59486 | ||
Can the "Al-Qaeda" be the Ten Kings? Who else do we know today that makes war with the Lamb(Christians and Israel), while also hating the prostitute(those that are very rich, proud, and selfish)? | ||||||
597 | Ten kings identity related to verse 14. | Rev 17:16 | Pastor Glenn | 59481 | ||
Verse 14 seems to identify the ten kings by who they make war against. However, this verse identifies them by who they hate. | ||||||
598 | Ten kings identity related to verse 16. | Rev 17:14 | Pastor Glenn | 59480 | ||
This verse seems to identify the ten kings by who they make war against. However, verse 16 identifies them by who they hate. | ||||||
