Hi John, From your statements, 1 "I'll bet that priest was one man who was very relieved that Luther had embraced his theology of righteousness through faith and not works, like, twenty-five trips to the confessional" 2 "Putting aside our tendency to externally legalize our walk with God," Are you inferring that Luther (stopped going to confession), when he embraced the theology of righteousness through faith, and not works? Are you saying also, that confession is our tendency to externally legalize our walk with God? Vintage68 |

But Doc, the context of the vs'. you cited, (Matt.13:14,15) are referring to the Jews, of that time, and why they were being spoken to in parables. These vs' are not referring to anyone else after them at all as you suppose. Especially those who are living today. This was Jesus direct answer to a question He was asked by the disciples, about the Jews. If you would take note in vs. 14 it says (Brackets have been added) ( "In their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled ), which says, You will keep on hearing, but will not understand; You will keep on seeing, but will not perceive. Then in vs. 15 it says ( For the heart of this people has become dull ), with their ears they scarcely hear, and they have closed their eyes, otherwise they would see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand with their heart and return and I would heal them.

Hi rakpak How do your statements answer the questions I asked? These are the questions. 1.) By what measure were the Gentiles, deemed to be sinners? 2.) Were the Jews' different than the gentiles, before they received the law by Moses? 3.) By what law were the gentiles held to be sinners? Was it only by the law of sin, and death, having been passed down from Adam? Vintage68 |

Hi John Thought you might like a good read. Part 1 of 2 Matthew 13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias… In (Isaiah 6:9,10) which saith, which runs, or may be read thus, by hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive. The words are a prophecy concerning the people of the Jews, which began to be accomplished in the times of Isaiah; and were again fulfilled in the times of some after prophets; and had been in part fulfilled under the more plain and easy ministry of Christ; and was to have a further accomplishment under this parabolical way of preaching; as it also was to have, and had, a yet further completion under the ministry of the apostles; (Acts 28:26-28) 26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: 27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. Romans 11:7,8) 7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded 8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. and the judicial blindness here predicted was to go on among them, until the land of Judea was utterly destroyed by the Romans, and the cities and houses thereof left without any inhabitants; all which accordingly came to pass: for that this prophecy refers to the times of the Messiah, and to the people of the Jews, is clear from this one observation made by Christ himself, that Esaias foretold those things when he saw the glory of the Messiah, and spake of him, John 12:39-41) 39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, 40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. and because it was to have, and had, its accomplishment over and over again in that people, therefore the word (anaplhroutai) , which may be rendered "is fulfilled again", is made use of. The sense of the prophecy is, with respect to the times of the Messiah, that the Jews, whilst hearing the sermons preached by him, whether with, or without parables, should hear his voice, and the sound of it, but not understand his words internally, spiritually, and experimentally; and whilst they saw, with the eyes of their bodies, the miracles he wrought, they should see the facts done, which could not be denied and gainsayed by them, but should not take in the clear evidence, full proof, and certain demonstration given thereby, of his Messiahship. In the prophecy of Isaiah, the words run in the imperative, "hear ye, see ye"… but are here rendered in the future, "shall hear, shall see"… which rendering of the words is supported and established by the version of the Septuagint, by the Chaldee paraphrase, and by many Jewish commentators; who allow, that the words in Isaiah may be so understood, which is sufficient to vindicate the citation of them, by the evangelist, in this form of them.

Part 2 of 2 Matthew 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, Or fat, become stupid and sottish, and without understanding; and so incapable of taking in the true sense and meaning of what they saw with their eyes, and heard with their ears; for they had their outward senses of hearing and seeing, and yet their intellectual powers were stupefied. And their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; which is expressive of the blindness and hardness, which were partly brought upon themselves by their own wilfulness and obstinacy, against such clear evidence as arose from the doctrine and miracles of Christ; and partly from the righteous judgment of God, giving them up, for their perverseness, to judicial blindness and obduracy; John 12:40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. and are in the prophet ascribed to the ministry of the word; that being despised, was in righteous judgment, the savour of death unto death, unto them; and they under it, as clay, under the influence of the sun, grew harder and harder by it, stopping their ears, and shutting their eyes against it: lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart: Which may be understood either of God's intention, and view, in giving them up to judicial blindness, and hardness of heart, under such miracles, and such a ministry, as a punishment for their wilful contempt of them; that so they might never have any true sight, hearing, and understanding of these things, and be turned from the evil of their ways, have repentance unto life, and remission of sins; which seems to be the sense of the other evangelists, (Mark 4:12) That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. (Luke 8:10) And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. (John 12:40) 40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. or, as if these people purposely stupefied themselves, stopped their ears, and pulled away the shoulder, and wilfully shut their eyes; fearing they should receive some conviction, light, and knowledge, and be converted by the power and grace of God: and I should heal them; or, as in Mark, " and their sins should be forgiven them"; for healing of diseases, and forgiveness of sins, are, in Scripture language, one and the same thing; and this sense of the phrase here, is justified by the Chaldee paraphrase, which renders it, (Nwhl qbtvyw) , "and they be forgiven", or "it be forgiven them", and by a Jewish commentator on the place; who interprets healing, of the healing of the soul, and adds (hxyloh ayhw) , "and this is pardon"- - - www.searchgodsword.org Vintage68 |

Hi MJH Thank you for your answer. Your answers to the ( 3 ) questions I asked, did give a clear understanding, even without any scripture references. I fully understand what you were saying. The thrust of these questions, were to see if it could be determined from the whole canon of scripture, wether or not there was a Spiritual difference as far as sin was concerned, between the Jews' as a people, when they were in Egypt, and the people the Jews' called Gentiles, after they had received the Law, and inherited the Land promised to Abraham. My query was wether or not "all men" were only under the Law of Sin and Death, inherited from Adam. I personally don't believe there is any definitive verse, or verses that give the answer, that's why I asked the questions the way I did. It would come to more of an educated school, of thought, understanding, and knowledge of the scriptures, rather than just a pat answer out of some one's commentary, or doctrine. Thanks again Vintage68 |

Hi Lionheart Rabbinic law was based in scripture, but that is where they ceased to resemble each other. The Rabbis added to the simplest of laws given, thereby making them very complicated, and hard to follow. Case in point is the law about not working on the Sabbath, I heard a very devout Jew one day, relating this with PRIDE, "we not only are not supposed to work on the Sabbath, but the law says we should put away our paper, and pencils, so that we wont even touch them, because they represent work, if we do touch them we are then guilty." That is the letter of the law, if I have ever heard it. But I was only pointing out that we just don't know, I felt the people, God had chosen to speak to, would have a better handle on it than we would, because it isn't anywhere in the New Testament. I don't want to give credence to Rabbinic law, but the Jews have a longer tradition, of separating themselves from such things. Takeing it in a literal sense, in my mind, tattooing is not of God. It is defacing Gods property, we are told to keep ourselves unspotted from the world, I believe tattooing is from Satan, and of the world. As God has said, "come out from them and be ye separate." You can now see, I have come back to my original statement, it would all be speculation, nobody knows. Vintage68 |

Hi Julia Marie In going back to your original statement. You can now place that scripture in John 16:23 alongside this scripture which is totally within context. As a matter of fact the context of this scripture is only about PRAYER. Luke 11:1-13 But in order to find the full context of John 16:23, we need to also look at the following verse. John 16:24 24.) Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. So we can see from verse ( 24 ) your within the grounds of context. But there is that troubling piece at the beginning of verse ( 23 ) John 16:23 23.) "And in that day ye shall ask me nothing." This part of the verse actually refers to the preceding thought, which is about the disciples asking Him questions before His crucifixion which would be the next day. As far as your statement about Eph. 6:18 you judge it for yourself wether your belief is really correct, given that it says in 1 Cor. 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. If you are praying in the Spirit, praying in unknown tongues, then you are the only one that is being edified. I fully understand what you are trying to say about praying at all times, our (Language), is inadequate, besides when you are praying in the Spirit, you are being prayed for by the Holy Ghost, your also praising, and worshiping God. It isn't just our asking for things, how would your getting a new job edify you in the inner man? That would bring no edification at all would it. I believe Satan cannot understand the tongues of a prayer language God has given to His people for the sole purpose of their edification. Otherwise we may as well pray using our own language, and understanding. Those are the times when the Holy Ghost, takes the opportunity to pray with groaning's which cannot be uttered Rom. 8:26 Vintage68 |

Hi Morant61 There are many more scriptures saying basically the same as this one, but I feel one is sufficient to convey the meaning of what is being said. Would this scripture be a fair assessment of Kenneth Copeland ministries? In light of scripture, how is it possible to endorse a ministry that has clearly twisted scripture? James 3:12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. I love Dr. MacArthur, but he has a major blind spot when it comes to spiritual gifts. He has proposed several very unusual positions in his various books about spiritual gifts. Dr. MacArthur tries to hard to discredit tongues, and by doing so, he twists the Scriptures on this topic. I would take anything Dr. MacArthur says about spiritual gifts with several grains of salt. On everything else, he is awesome. Vintage68 |

Hi John Paul did not need to take 3 chapters on how tongues were to be used, in order for him to say, these Gifts of the Holy Ghost, this speaking in tongues, it's all wrong, please for Gods sake stop doing it! You, and others seem to be under the impression, that is exactly what he did say. Why not study the matter with the guidance of the Holy Ghost? The problem with this thread is, Paul did take 3 chapters to talk about the proper use of these Gifts. This whole discussion thus far, has only been about everyone trying to make their points, using all three chapters to do so. In order to do proper exegesis. Each chapter in order needs to be examined in the context of what is being said within that chapter. The discussion thus far has not been so, it has sadly been a putting forth of personal views, experiences, presuppositions, and the like. It would be nice if the people on this Forum, put aside their own personal doctrines, beliefs, prejudices. Then set about the task of doing the thing, this forum was designed to do. What I see needs to be done, is that everyone stop posting on this thread, step away from it, take off until Tuesday, whereupon a new thread would be started. During this time of rest, pray for an open heart, and mind, and a willingness to accept the truth from the WORD of God. Biblical exegesis is a critical explanation or interpretation of the Bible. The goal of Biblical exegesis is to find the meaning of the text which then leads to discovering its significance or relevance. (From Wikipedia) an explanation or critical interpretation of a text (From Merriam-Webster dictionary) critical explanation or interpretation of a text or portion of a text, esp. of the Bible.

Hi Morant61 No Tim, to the contrary, I believe you are the one that has misread my post. The use of Mr. Copeland's name, was an example of someone I felt you, would never recommend to anyone. I then used your own quotes, about Mr. MacArthur, to demonstrate the fact, he is not to be trusted either. Based on the same criteria, used to judge Mr. Copeland. The bible being the sole authority, You would do well to take everything Dr. MacArthur says with several grains of salt. In your correction of Asure, as to her mistaken beliefs. Because this man was not someone to be trusted, and your admonishing her to beware, he then looses all credibility. Your own words, demonstrate, this man has intentionally taken the Word of God, set it aside, or twisted it to mean whatever he wanted it to mean, then voiced his own beliefs above those of the bible in "several very unusual positions in his various books". Thereby making merchandise of the body of Christ. In doing these things he labels himself as a deceiver. A deceiver is someone that we are to beware of. Vintage68 |

Hi strts5 I have enjoyed your posts. Just as a possible help for you,Morant61 once posted that he was having trouble with loosing his posts before they would be finished, and he started to use an E-Mail then copying and pasting it to the forum. I find this to be a good way to do it, with the added advantage of a spell check, which a lot of people can also use:-) Hope this helps you Vintage68 |

Hi cmfrantz When dealing with the book of The Revelation, it is best to keep in mind, what Jesus said. Because people have been trying to figure it all out for 2000 yrs. Were not meant to know until it happens. Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Anyway back to your question, where does this vers fit with all of the calculations of the trumpets and the seventieth week. Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Wasn't Daniel's prophesy fulfilled in Christ? If so then couldn't it be possible "we" are in the last week? What I mean is the entire church period, from the Ascension to His glorious return, could be TRIBULATION:-) Vintage68 |

Hi justme I feel that James said it about as good as it can be said, no improvement necessary:-) These words, are inspired by God, they describe the end result first, connoting Hope - Faith which are uplifting to our spirits. Our Heavenly Father desires us to be always constant, never ceasing. For we already know, we have those things, we desire of Him. "I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth." "Offer unto God thanksgiving," for all He has done. "Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness." For we are the righteousness of God in Christ, knowing "he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Therefor we know that what soever we may ask in Jesus name believing, he hears us. James 5:16 The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Vintage68 |
