61 | Roman guard myth? | Matt 28:11 | Norrie | 122240 | ||
OK, I reread the acct in the historical novel of Pontius Pilate by Paul Maier. For each chapter, in back he has the historical data from where he got his info. This is what it says: "THE GUARD AT THE TOMB: There is some contraversy as to whether the Jewish temple police or Pilate's Roman auxiliaries were used to guard the sepulcher. The Greek of Matthew 27:65 cites Pilate's statement simply as: "You have a guard," though grammatically this could also be translated. "You may have a guard." But the first translation seems perferrable, since the watch reported the empty tomb directly to the chief priests rather than Pilate (Matt 28:11), which the temple police would certainly have done. Pilate's auxiliaries would clearly have reported to him and only to him. Terullian, "Apologeticus" xxi, 20, also speaks of Jewish military guard at the tomb." |

I'll think on it. I'll try to find that part in Pontious Pilate book too, see what that says. Thanks. :) |

But they weren't Roman, why would a Roman say they were there when they weren't? | ||||||
64 | Church requirements for helping others? | Gal 6:10 | Norrie | 121263 | ||
I agree w/you. Plus I don't expect anything from anybody. But my mil is another story...:) | ||||||
65 | Church requirements for helping others? | Gal 6:10 | Norrie | 121243 | ||
I think you grasped the situation exactly. We do help her, Mike thinks his sister should help too but it's just us. Oh well again. :) There are some individual members who help her but she said the pastor when he did bring a few things over, didn't even get out of his car to come in a pray w/her, just sent his daughter up. That's seemed kinda cold...they are a small church where they all know each other. I go to a large church so atmosphere is def. different. |

66 | Church requirements for helping others? | Gal 6:10 | Norrie | 121240 | ||
Thanks. I guess what concerns her is she's been at that church from conception, been active when she's physically able but since this last time when she was down, they took away her SS class w/o having a board meeting, things like that. I think many of the older members are fixing to go including her. But I do think she thinks people owe her more than they do, but churches should help their members when they are in trouble...oh well. | ||||||
67 | Church requirements for helping others? | Gal 6:10 | Norrie | 121176 | ||
These are kids that when they have church dinners, which this church does a lot, beats everybody to line and sticks there fingers in food to where others refuse to eat after them. They are old enough to know better. They are unrestrained. Sorry if the description of them offends your sensibilities but it's the truth and sometimes the truth hurts. This is what my mil tells me and is not my church. I've been there before and saw these kids in action, it's not an exageration. They fill up on everything, including cake, cookies...drinks lots of soda. They are not fat from not having enough of right kinds of food but from gorging on wrong stuff. |

68 | Church requirements for helping others? | Gal 6:10 | Norrie | 121175 | ||
My mil does not meet requirements as she is less than 60 then and has kids and is not a widow but has been divorced 3 times, she's also in 100 percent disability. But the pastor taking the food and that other family who makes lots more than she does w/the fat kids who gobble like unrestrained hogs aren't widows and orphans either. They give food from food bank to any who are needy supposedly, not just widows and orphans but there's no food since those 2 families already ate them out of the food bank. I do think she expects the church to do too much for her but I can't say that to her or else I'd get in trouble, you know how mils are! But I send home food with her and we pay many of her extra expenses, like dentist, we bought her a car even! Then she expects us to maintain it. My husband gets sick of spending his money on her all the time. She gets as much per month as my mom but we don't have to supplement my mom... |

69 | Church requirements for helping others? | Gal 6:10 | Norrie | 121174 | ||
We help her out as much as we can but that woman is a walking disaster area! If something can go wrong, it will for her. You'd have to experience her to understand...believe me, it's not pretty...but we try. She is planning on leaving that church tho. |

70 | Who was Pilate's wife? | Bible general Archive 2 | Norrie | 119631 | ||
There is a book called Pontius Pilate by Paul Maier that deals w/Pilate. He had references for all his chapters. It is basically an historical novel but he did a lot of research to get it right. Her name was something like Porcula, I don't have the book here. :) |

From Brett. Our Delphi forums are easier to get around on. :) Norrie, I jumped onto that other forum last night late. I don't like it...hard to navigate and post. John 10 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. Again I agree with Hank on John 10:27-29 above, but he is missing the point. Yes, no man can pluck you away from Christ. However, you can pluck yourself away, by "falling away" on your own. Once you do this, you can NEVER seek repentance again. To do so would mock Jesus. You may seek repentance, but he will rebuke and not forgive you......UNFORGIVABLE SIN....case closed. Notice Jesus says he will give eternal life IF the sheep that hear his voice do what??? FOLLOW HIM. If you fall away and the Holy Ghost leaves you, you are NOT following him anymore....again, the UNFORGIVABLE SIN!!! See Hebrews 6:4-6, Luke 8:12-14. It is apparent based on doctrine that you MUST follow Jesus after accepting him. If you don't, the Holy Spirit may leave you. Why would he leave unless He was blasphemed? Once He does leave, the unforgivable sin has occurred. It is "impossible" to reverse this as we see below: Hebrews 6 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. I hope this better explains it.....You can post this on the other forum if you think it has merit. I wonder what Judah's thoughts on this are!

I'm glad you came back. I guess as they are pointing out here, you didn't say anything about the Holy Spirit specifically, thank God! I grew up Cath. so thought I was a Christian because that's what we were taught, but I never really accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior because I never knew about that. I guess when I became a heathen afterwards, I was mostly rejecting the RCC and their teaching because I didn't really know the Jesus of the Bible at all. I'll go read your testimony and thank you. :) |

The main one that I've always wondered about became a full fledged pagan and he used to be involved w/CCM music before, played backup with many famous artists. This person really renounced Christianity. I've met several like that but this was the one I mostly was involved with, had many discussions, were great antagonists. This wasn't a skeptic, this was a definate renouncer. I haven't had dealing w/them in a long time, just always wonder about them...how can so many who claimed to be saved turn like that...that sure is a lot who just gave lip service but I guess today anything is possible. I don't fool w/skeptics much anymore. I may just give them the gospel, if they reject it, I don't fool w/them. If they are on a forum I moderate, I usually ban them, I don't want their garbage polluting my playground. I figure it is our responsibility to tell them but if they don't want to listen, I'm not casting pearls and I will not put up w/them scoffing and ridiculing. If that's all they want to do, do it someplace else. |

Peter was more scared than actually making conscious effort to really reject, maybe that was the difference between Peter and those that say I truly reject all teaching I've had of Christ...but Jesus isn't Holy Spirit either so...Paul wasn't an example of someone who believed in Him, then left too, he just didn't believe to begin with. I hope you're right but somehow I think they may be more like those who get turned over to their base instincts thing then, like in Romans 1. | ||||||

Sorry, Brett and Hank, I see Brett is now here so I won't have to double forum. :) But I do get confused by the pagans I've met online who really believe they were Bible believing Christians and just later decided they were wrong. I know Jesus said that about you did works in My Name but I never knew you, if you think you are saved and doing works in His Name but aren't, it seems such a waste...how can you know you're not one of these??? |

78 | Blasphemy against Holy Spirit | Mark 3:30 | Norrie | 119056 | ||
Hank, what you say makes sense but on the other hand, I just have hard time reconciling all the pagans I've met online that claim to have been at one time Bible-beliving, spirit filled christians and turned away. We are saved thru faith, they believed they were, can they all have been mistaken about whether they were or weren't? And if they believe that they were saved but turned from their faith and flat out rejected, how can I know that I am strong in my faith? Would a better question be can one really believe they are truly saved and yet not have their name in the Book of Life? How can you truly know? There are people living like hell who truly believe they are saved because they walked the aisle and were baptized but they are def. showing no fruit, esp if they are sitting in jail. So how can you truly know if you really believe one thing but are believing wrongly? It sure seems complicated to me... | ||||||

Here's what Brett said-don't you love this double foruming: Norrie, I am not dogmatic about my interpretation, but I think Hank's scriptures quotes back up my point. If Hank is right, then I'm right. How can you blaspheme something you don't have or even understand? When you accept Jesus, He gives you the Holy Spirit for comfort and to be "taught all things". This would imply spiritual ignorance for those without the Holy Spirit. Why would any "non-believer" speak against "blaspheme" the Holy Spirit? To what end...for what purpose? Makes no sense. The non-believer is quite good at cursing God or saying J.C. at the drop of a hat...all forgivable. Have you EVER heard ANYONE in your life speak against the Holy Spirit? Of course not. That is because I believe it is an ACT...the one described in Hebrews 6:4. Whether or not Hank is right, or we're both right, is moot if we are believers. There is however a good 3rd possibility when you look up the meaning of blasphemy. It could also apply to those who exalt themselves as or above God...see #1b SYLLABICATION: blas·phe·my NOUN: Inflected forms: pl. blas·phe·mies 1a. A contemptuous or profane act, utterance, or writing concerning God or a sacred entity. b. The act of claiming for oneself the attributes and rights of God. 2. An irreverent or impious act, attitude, or utterance in regard to something considered inviolable or sacrosanct. Hank implies I have made up my mind and I'm finding scripture to back it up...on the contrary. I believe all 3 views mentioned have scriptural merit. Now look at Hanks verse Matt 12:31-32...then mine Hebrews 6:4-6. Notice there is NO repentance or forgiveness in both verses. They are a perfect fit! Matthew 12 31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Hebrews 6 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. And there you have it...accepted Christ...fell away...condemned to hell...CANNOT repent...obviously will never be forgiven.....UNFORGIVABLE SIN!!!!! I am openminded, but I believe my interpetation has scripural merit. |

"Therefore, the fatal sin is the denial of the Holy Spirit's testimony to Jesus as Savior and Lord." What about the number of times someone rejects but ultimately does accept. I know before I accepted, I would say I was pretty blasphemous but I got saved later on. I would think that now if I decided I was wrong, this bull, I was taken, there is no Jesus/Holy Spirit, then it seems I'd be condemning myself for sure then. Say some christians may do this when the time comes for taking marks... |
