Moran61 Well thank you very much for that! I went looking through a tool I have that shows all the places a Greek word is used and that word did not show up at all, now I am wondering why. Nothing beats actualy going somewhere for about three to four years to learn the language thoroughly which I do not have time to do, so thank you Jesus, that you did. No tool is going to beat knowing the ins and outs of Greek though. http://www.greekbiblestudy.org/gnt/greekWordStudy.do?id equal sign 112981 and sign greek equal sign false Let he who has been taught share with him who teaches.

62 | Lead us not | Luke 5:18 | bowler | 206644 | ||
AllenRhoades I apologize for not getting back to you again sooner. Yeah without a book is pretty amazing isn't it? Next time I will not assume my little tools have all the answers! I really am thinking about trying to find the time to study this language though because I get frustrated sometimes that I do not know more about how it really works. Please enlighten me, LSJ? Which tool is this, I am always collecting a new tool in the hopes of learning more. Is this tool going to be over my head? Please advise. The reason I would be most eager to have such a tool is that from what you are saying it will have a listing of Greek sources that are Extra-Biblical? That is most important, to find out how other authors were using the same words in other concurrect literature. Off this subject, I am currently seeking the usage of several Greek words for an off line discussion I am having about their Biblical and Extra-Biblical usages. Again, I would like to know what tool this is please. I see what you mean about the "fit" with 1 Timothy 6:7. There is room in the body of Christ for a diversity of gifts, I am likin yours. blessings abound, bowler |

Allen Rhoades Oh God bless your soul Pastor! Thank you Thank you very much. It looks like it is going to take some doing to navigate around this site, but it will be worth the travel. I shared this with another Pastor in here for sharing his Greek with me, I am sure you already have this - http://www.greekbiblestudy.org/gnt/greekWordStudy.do?id equal sign 112981 and sign greek equal sign false The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him.

64 | WHAT MADE LOT A RIGHTIOUS MAN? | Luke 8:13 | bowler | 206386 | ||
GBzones We are so much like Lot! We often go the wrong way into trouble spots and it is God who plucks us out! By faith, by listening to God when He does speak, as Lot did when God sent His angels to tell Lot to come out. Which according to you, not fighting here just pointing out, he did not, but according to the account he did come out. Abraham made a few major mistakes himself concerning God and his wife, but like Lot, despite his mistakes, it is the example of faith of both men that we emulate, not either of their mess ups. God bless you in whatever you endeavor to do for Christ Jesus here, or anywhere. blessings abound, bowler |

65 | Why Could He Not Do Many Miracles? | Luke 9:42 | bowler | 207043 | ||
I have been pondering about the following - There are a number of instances where Jesus healed people who did not necessarily exhibt faith from what we could tell by what was written. That is not to say definitively that they did not have faith, we just don't know for sure. Some instances where Jesus Heals - Mathew 4:24, 8:16, 17, 12:15 – 21, 12:22, 14:14, 15:30, 19:2, 19:14, 21:14, Luke 5:15, 9:42, 22:51, John 5:1 - 9. Here are some instances where Jesus healed those who it was written did have faith and were healed - Mathew 8:8, 9:2-8, 15:22 – 28, Mark 10:47-52, Luke 7:44-48, 17:17-19, Here is my question - Why is it that Jesus did not do many miracles at Nazareth because of their unbelief? Mathew 13:58 And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief. I can see that the context is that "they" were saying that He was a local with family there, but they admit that He was doing the miracles, but then they took offense at Him. Seeing as how Jesus did miracles of healing when around the unbelieving Pharisees and Scribes and Sadducees, I am trying to understnad why it made a difference there at Nazareth that they were full of unbelief? Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

Steve I pray to the Lord my God not to get people to wrangling about my questions, God forbid! I understand your concern here, in seeing it as you see it I could wish I had phrased it much better, because as you so succinctly point out the wording is causing, well it is causing. I did try to include the following scriptures as part of my question, they are all instances where "apparently" He healed and we don't know who had faith and who did not. Mathew 4:24, 8:16, 17, 12:15 – 21, 12:22, 14:14, 15:30, 19:2, 19:14, 21:14, Luke 5:15, 9:42, 22:51, John 5:1 - 9. I get what you are saying here - we should just take it at scripture value that the Lord Jesus made judgment call and that He said it was because of their unbelief, not that "He couldn't". Bad wording. What I was seeing looking at all those other scriptures is a lack of evidence that those crowds and groups had faith, there are instances there where He is definitely dealing with lookers on who had no faith. We know Jesus power came from being God, and not from mass hysteria, or from the recipients as if He needed something from them to accomplish anything. We have too many instances where demons were cast out, infirmities healed, and in none of them does He say their sins are forgiven, nor does the Bible say they had faith. I was trying to see what the difference was. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

Azure With all due respect to you and your point the fact that it is a gift is not because "we would be pleased to accept a gift" and God does not give the "gift" to please us, but Himself. Paul - Romans 3:24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus. Romans 5:15-17 But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of God of the one Man Jesus Christ, abound to the many. The gift is not like that which came throught the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from the one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification. For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who recieve the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One Jesus Christ. The gift of the grace of God, salvation, God was pleased to give - 1 Corinthians 1:21 For since in the wisdom fo God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well pleased throught the foolishness of the message preached to save those who beleive. Those who are repentant and seeking Christ for forgivness of sins and entrance into eternal life are receiving the free gift of God's grace - but it is not their reaching and receiving the gift that is the focus of the word "gift" as it appears in referrence to "grace" in the Bible. The focus is on what God is doing. When people humble themselves and come to Christ God will work on them through the Holy Spirit and they will come to understand the greatness of the "gift of grace" they have received. I completley agree with you that when we understand that we need grace our heart and mind will be changed. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

BradK I do believe I have finally heard a really good answer to my orginal question in this post of yours. Everyone had excellent answers, however this does very much cover all the bases here - 1 Their unbelief was out of His hands. 2 He knew that they would not be profited by His continuance. 3 He Himself states that He was least received in His own home town, a place where it is likely He would have been willing to do much. I would not disparge the thoughts of all the others here, each of them contributed valuable insights. Thank you. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

Immanuelsown Two things, how could we even begin to compare Benny Hinn and people's response to him to Jesus Christ and people's response to Him? I don't for one second think you are supporting Benny Hinn, far from it! I simply cringe at the two being used to illustrate a mode of response by anybody in the same sentence, which I realize is all you were trying to do. I would ask you, what you would do with some of the original scriptures I provided that dealt with individuals and not with the crowds? In these accounts Jesus healed them and they exhibited absolutely no faith, as oppossed to the other batch of scriptures I provided where those who were healed had faith. It is apparent regarding healing individuals from my first batch of scriptures that they had no faith, faith was not mentioned, was not a factor, and Jesus did not address it saying they had faith. So it is not true, I am not saying you said exactly so, that people got healed because they had faith and sought Jesus. He often walked up to them, healed them, finished and walked off and they did not get saved, or have faith. Just a thought. Just a worthless son. blessings aboung, bowler |

72 | once saved always saved? | John 10:28 | bowler | 207503 | ||
Progolfer190 I am trying to follow your logic and here and I am not suceeding. You said the following - "I don't think so because you can die without repenting of your sins ad getting a bad heart and (i believe) go to hell but if you repent of your sins at the end of your life and you die with a good heart then you will go to heaven." In response to - "once saved always saved?" I am trying to break down what you are saying into parts here - "because you can die without repenting of your sins" This begs the question; How in the world could you get to heaven unless you did repent of your sins and take Jesus Christ as your savior and Lord? Is there some other way to get to heaven than to do that? Is it that you believe that you get saved sometime early in life, or at all, and then because you don't repent of your sins after that "event" when you got saved, that you will "get a bad heart" and go to hell? How does that work really? Is it really possible that a Christian who is truly saved would not repent of their sins on an ongoing basis, is that a Christian? The whole premise of salvation is that the human heart is infinitely wicked and we cannot get to heaven becuase "we have a good heart" becuase we don't have one. Once saved always saved means that once you repent of your sins to Jesus alone, nobody else, not His mother, not to God the Father, not to the Holy Spirit, not to the dead saints, or live angels, but just to Jesus - once you do that for real with a sincere heart, your salvation is complete. There is no waiting around until we see how good you lived when you finally die, or waiting for a man to tell you you are saved after you pray a certain way and go to him to repent of your sins. Salvation is a work of Christ, not of you - you don't have the power to effect salvation by your good works or your bad works, it is not possible, that is why Christ had to do it. The way to salvation is simple; believe Jesus is God, repent of your sins, confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord, believe in your heart that He died and rose from the dead and you will be saved. There is no such thing as getting saved and then going to your death and not making it to heaven, it doesn't work that way. Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace. blessings abound, bowler |

Azure, I was away sorry for the long delay in answering you. Why I do believe you are right in one sense and so am I! Question; could a person repent to God the Father without having "faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of their sins"? I doubt it. Which is more what I meant by saying you should repent to Jesus. So many people think they are saved who repented to God, but did not do it in the name of Jesus, do not believe in Jesus and so on - that is what I was referring to, that a person should not just repent to the Father and leave Jesus out of the picture. On the other hand if you repent to Jesus alone, He and the Father are one, you are repenting to God the Father through faith in Jesus. I think what I was trying to say and what you are saying actually kind of go together. But I do see what you are saying that the model we find in the Bible is repenting to the Father in the name of Jesus. John 6:40 "For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day." blessings abound, bowler |

Doc Thank you for more links! So very helpful! An asnwer to prayer. Actualy I was so fascinated with theologian Arthur Pink, whom I had never heard of before that I did take the time to read through it, although I admit to skiming through some of it to try to find what I was looking for, but I did go through it all in about 4 hours at one sitting. I should actualy go back and read it more thoroughly and see if I missed what you were referring me to. Laugh at me, I am. blessings abound, bowler |

76 | Praying to the Holy Spirit? | John 14:14 | bowler | 206285 | ||
Wild Olive Shoot My apologies to all! I missed this in what was sent to me by another. Having some trouble with theologian Arthur Pink's writing here. Aruthur Pink 30. Pray For Love Toward God Then had followed the prayer in 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 that they might be comforted and established by an effectual application to them of the glorious contents of the gospel. Next he had solicited their prayers for himself and fellow ministers (2 Thess. 3:1-2), after which he had declared, "But the Lord is faithful, who will stablish you, and keep you from evil. And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you" (2 Thess. 3:4). Note, the apostle did not say, "We have confidence in you" but "We have confidence in the Lord touching you." Paul was assured that God, having begun a good work in them, would graciously complete it. The Addressee of This Prayer Let us now consider the Addressee of this prayer. Who is meant by "the Lord" here? We answer unhesitatingly, the third Person of the blessed Trinity, the One who is designated "Lord" in 1 Corinthians 12:5, and "the Spirit of the Lord" in 2 Corinthians 3:18. First, this is clear from the fact that in our present verse He is definitely distinguished from "God" and "Christ," so that reference is here made to the Eternal Three. I understand his reference to another passage that the Holy Spirit is in the Godhead and deserves worship. What I am trying to see is his take on 2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17 because the prayer mentions Jesus and the Father but does not mention the Holy Spirit and then ends. Then Pink metions chapter 3 as if the prayer is continuing, with the Holy Spirit as the object deserving attention as the recipient of a prayer, but now Paul is speaking of asking the brethren to pray and is no longer praying, he stopped in chapter 2. I don't think I am a theologian by any means, and all credit due to the great men of yesteryear. I do however, respectfully wonder sometimes how they come to the conclusions they do. I appreciate, though reading him, and you sending the link. blessings abound, bowler |

Steve I meant no harm or self promotion at all. I did add that others also do the exact same thing and included myself, saying I try, implying "I don't always either". I was not judging her at all. There have been several posts lately where others oberved a lack of scripture attached, and I myself am guilty of this. "Guilt" may be the wrong word. Please don't judge me, my statements were not meant to judge her. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

78 | When and where, Last Words of Christ? | John 19:29 | bowler | 206331 | ||
Steve I had replied to lionheart but for some reason it got pulled. I tried there in keeping with clarity and in the spirit of Christian fellowship to say the following - My question was not about where in scripture we find the seven last words as the Biblical historical inception of them. My question was where in the history, say in the middle ages, did the preaching of the seven last words begin, where and when did this fine tradition of the church of preaching the seven last words begin? This is a Biblical question including a scripture as an example of what one of the seven last words was. In the Spirit of Christ. blessings abound, bowler |

Doc, I agree completely with you, as I think my post points out the "promises" given to each group were different, not meaning of salvation, but of various parts of covenantal dispesning of God's will "about His promises to Israel of a promised land in which to literaly dwell, of salvation from literal oppression, of a king to rule on the eternal throne". What I did not mean to imply is that they were saved any other way than be faith alone. Sorry for the misunderstanding. By the way, I think I mistakenly answered the same question again, thining that "doclinda2" was the one who posted this one. Hennie asked the same question a second time and I addressed your point here from the same viewpoint that you and I both hold about the salvation part as being by "faith alone" for both groups. blessings abound, bowler |
