61 | Are modern services merely a tradition? | 1 Cor 14:29 | Aspilos | 60651 | ||
prayon, thanks for your reply. Indeed we should search to see if what the speaker says is true, but what if it isn't? Should we speak up and question that person or let it go and let all the listeners fall prey to his error? Bendiciones! Aspilos |

62 | Are modern services merely a tradition? | 1 Cor 14:29 | Aspilos | 60650 | ||
Searcher, I'm not sure that I agree with your statement about two or three prophets speaking being part of the problem, although it may be a problem with the way services are conducted today. Paul actually seems to be in favor of it by saying, "Let two or three prophets speak..." Perhaps it would be better than one person dictating to the people. You are absolutlely correct in saying that we'd better pay attention. Speaking of the Bereans, Acts 17:11 says that that they were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Why are speakers insulted today when someone questions their message? Even Paul went through this, yet he apparently found these people to be, "of more noble character." Today, not many will consider you doing a good thing if you question the preacher. Bendiciones! Aspilos |

63 | Are modern services merely a tradition? | 1 Cor 14:29 | Aspilos | 60497 | ||
Are modern church services merely a tradition? Whether you're Catholic or Protestant and the services are conducted by a priest or a preacher, one thing seems the same. Most often, one person will deliver a message to the congregation, and that said without dispute. So what about, "let the others pass judgment?" Does anyone really do that? KJV 1 Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, rethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. |

65 | is there 2 kinds of tongues if yes need | 1 Corinthians | Aspilos | 60474 | ||
Berean49, I don't see the distinction between these two. In chapter 12 he says, "different kinds of tongues" referring to that which is foreign or unknown to the speaker. If you continue to read verse 10 he also adds, "to still another the interpretation of tongues". 1 Cor 12:10 NIV to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. If a tongue or language is not unknown, there would be no need for interpretation, so this would still be in the same catagory of the unknown tongue. If you're reading from the KJV, you'll notice that the word unknown is in itilics in chapter 14. That's because it is added, [rightly so] to clarify that the writer is speaking of an unknown language. Though I would like to know what you mean by describing one as a, "Prayer Language" and another as, "different Languages"? Is this scriptural? Bendiciones! Aspilos |

68 | From where is the KIngdom Lydia? | Dan 2:31 | Aspilos | 60356 | ||
Ateo, you wish to think that the fourth empire is that of the Greek's because, as you stated, "Daniel 2:41 claims that the empire will be divided" but in chapter 7 the four empires are again mentioned, but this time as beasts. Note the description of the third one. Dan. 7:6 NIV "After that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard. And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. This beast had four heads, and it was given authority to rule. As you stated, "His empire [Alexander the Great] was then divided up among his 4 generals." Four seems to be the description of the third beast. The heads representing rulers of authority and the wings for the swiftness in which the conquered. Surely the writer wouldn't have written something to contradact himself only a few chapters later. Don't forget also that Rome was divided. Note the fourth beast in Dan. 7. Bendiciones! Aspilos |

Loran, there's a lot of knowledgeable people here that I'm sure can do you a lot of good. More than I, I must humbly say! Test you knowledge and stay with EdB. Bendiciones! Aspilos |

70 | What does the statue symbolize? | Dan 2:31 | Aspilos | 60351 | ||
Are the descriptions of these beasts not chronological timelines from Babylon to Rome? If so, the beast in Revelation could be none other than the Roman Empire. And what about that woman on his back in Rev. 17? What I find most amazing about her is the title, "THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES". So then, who are her daughters? Bendiciones! Aspilos |

71 | What does the statue symbolize? | Dan 2:31 | Aspilos | 60314 | ||
I know I'm asking you a lot of questions about this subject, but you seem to have studied it somewhat. The beast coming out of the sea in Rev 13 is said to, "resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion". Theses are the same images of the first 3 beasts in Dan. 7. Coincidence or the same? Bendiciones! Aspilos |

inheavenseyes, thanks for your reply. I would also like to know if the four kingdoms in Dan. 7 are the same kingdoms. What have you studied about that? | ||||||

74 | Is the new Jerusalem the chruch? | Rev 21:2 | Aspilos | 56939 | ||
J.Wishart, Thank you for your reply. You said, "i find this part is particularly detailed and can not really find any reason to consider it not to be real..." Even if it is symbolic of the church, would it not be symbolic of something, "real?" Why is the holy city said to be, "prepared as a bride adorned for her husband?" Also, why in verses 9-10 does the angel say to John, "Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife" and John continues saying that, "And he [the angel] carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God?" God Bless! Aspilos |

prayon, what or where is the new Jersalem? You say that the redeemed of the Lord will live there with Christ. I'm not saying that I disagree, but I would be curious to know what scripture you use for your emphasis. | ||||||
77 | What are the "works of God"? | Rom 6:4 | Aspilos | 56803 | ||
Aspiring Overseer, there is no doubt that actions are a result of faith. I really couldn't express that any better than Hank did in the following quote. "The crowds who heard Jesus' teaching about the messianic kingdom misunderstood his points, not an uncommon occurence then, or now. They ask Him in v.26 "What shall we do that we may work the works of God." Their obvious thought pattern then, and the thought pattern of some people today, including some Christians, was that God required them to do some works in order to earn everlasting life. So, correcting them, Jesus responded that the work of God (of God, not man) was (simply put) "Believe in Him (Jesus) whom He (God) sent. Belief (faith) therefore was not connected with or dependent upon work, and work was not a requisite for salvation. --Hank" |

Hello Hank! Excuse me for intruding here, but I would like to know your view of the two verses I have included below. It seems that these two verses are implying that faith is a type of work. I have read several of the messages that you have left in this forum and I perceive that you are a person of great intellect. If anyone can give me a suitable answer, I'm sure you can. You say, "There is absolutely nothing that man can do, no action of any kind that can or does contribute in any way to his salvation" and who can argue with that? After all, it is scriptural. God Bless! Aspilos 1 Thessalonians 1:3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. |
