61 | 2 CORITHIANS 10 VS3-4-5 | Eph 6:13 | Praise Be To God | 132162 | ||
It is talking about spiritual warfare. Every day, in prayer, I "bind" my mind to the mind of Christ, so that I will bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. And I "loose" imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. It is all part of putting on the armor of God. | ||||||

Here is the answer I got from a respectable and reliable source, BBN Radio. Thank you. Dear Janae, Thanks for your question about how the Apostle Paul was executed. We gain some light on it from his statement in Second Timothy 4:6 "For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand." A very good commentary, Jamieson, Fawcette, and Brown says of this of Paul's statement here: "2Ti 4:6. Greek, "For I am already being offered"; literally, as a libation; appropriate to the shedding of his blood. Every sacrifice began with an initiatory libation on the victim's head (compare Note, see on JFB for Php 2:17). A motive to stimulate Timothy to faithfulness--the departure and final blessedness of Paul; it is the end that crowns the work. As the time of his departure was indicated to Peter, so to Paul (2Pe 1:14)." Their note on Phillipians 2:17 says, "I be offered--rather as Greek, "I am poured out." "I am made a libation." Present, not future, as the danger is threatening him now. As in sacrifices libations of wine were "poured upon" the offerings, so he represents his Philippian converts, offered through faith (or else their faith itself), as the sacrifice, and his blood as the libation "poured upon" it (compare Ro 15:16; 2Ti 4:6)." Remember, Paul had Roman citizenship, and as such the law required he be treated with the respect given to a citizen of Rome. Crucifixation would not be permitted, neither would the cruel pracice of tie a human being to a post and pour tar on the person and lighting it to consume the person, or the equally cruel practice of tying the person in a sack and having wild animals devour the person in an arena. Beheading was considered a more "merciful" and thus more fitting execution for a Roman citizen. I hope that helps you, Janae. Thanks for your question.

65 | N.T. circumcision? | Col 2:12 | Praise Be To God | 131771 | ||
Water Baptism is a sign of the New Covenant because it is an outward show of dying with Christ and rising with him again in victory. The Holy Spirit does the circumcizing of the heart; our role is to desire it. If we yield ourselves to the Holy Spirit, obey God's commands, and are holy (Be ye holy, for I am holy, saith the Lord), the Holy Spirit can circumcize our hearts. But, we must be holy. We cannot yield to sin and expect the Holy Spirit to circumcize our hearts. We recently had a service at my church where we asked the Holy Spirit to do just that. Those desiring to have God circumcize their hearts went forward for prayer and the work was begun. It is being accomplished still. It is an ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. I can only speak by my own experience. | ||||||
66 | Yet another baptism question! | Col 2:12 | Praise Be To God | 131782 | ||
We were justified at Calvary, by Jesus' death on the cross. Baptism is an outward show that we, as Believers, make to God and to the world to say that our "old man" has died with Christ, and we are raised to life again together with Christ. The way you can tell whether the word "baptism" means with water or with the Holy Spirit, is to look at how the verse(s) read(s). For example, Acts 19 is obviously talking about the Holy Spirit. |

74 | is the archangel bad? | Jude 1:9 | Praise Be To God | 140757 | ||
Michael and Gabriel are God's messengers. They even war in the heavens against Satan and his powers of darkness. (See Daniel 10:13 - "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.") Satan is an angel, and he is bad. But Michael is not. Janae |

76 | Revelation 3 v 15 | Rev 2:6 | Praise Be To God | 136174 | ||
Dear Effpomens, According to the commentary note in the Full Life Study Bible, page 2038, the Nicolaitans (see also Rev. 3:15) probably affirmed, as did the teaching of Balaam that sexual immorality did not affect one's salvation in Christ. The New Testament clearly states the contrary; such persons shall not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Cor. 6:9-10). God hates the doctrine that teaches we can be saved and at the same time live immoral lives. To hate what God hates is an essential characteristic of those loyal to Christ (Ps. 139:21; Prov. 8:13). Janae |
