61 | identifying modalism: church prevalence? | Not Specified | Reighnskye | 135524 | ||
How prevalent is the doctrine of "modalism" in the church? And how is it precisely identified? If I am understanding correctly, "modalism" partly involves the idea that the Old Testament appearances of God are actually Jesus the Son appearing, as if the Father and the Son were one single being, that changed form now and then. For example, when God appeared to Moses in the burning bush. Was that the Father or the Son, or both? Can't be both, right? - In contrast, here are some references to the Holy Trinity in the context of divine scripture: Matthew 28 19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, (NAS95) 2 Corinthians 13 14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. (NAS95) - And here are some verses in the New Testament, wherein we have the divine appearance of all three members of the Holy Trinity simultaneously. Matthew 3 13 Then Jesus *arrived from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John, to be baptized by him. 16 After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, 17 and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased." (NAS95) Mark 1 9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him; 11 and a voice came out of the heavens: "You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased." (NAS95) - And here are some verses from both the New Testament and the Old Testament, wherein the Father and the Son directly and simultaneously interact with each other. John 12 23 And Jesus *answered them, saying, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 28 "Father, glorify Your name." Then a voice came out of heaven: "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again." 29 So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, "An angel has spoken to Him." 30 Jesus answered and said, "This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes. (NAS95) Daniel 7 9 "I kept looking Until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days took His seat; His vesture was like white snow And the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with flames, Its wheels were a burning fire. 10 "A river of fire was flowing And coming out from before Him; Thousands upon thousands were attending Him, And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; The court sat, And the books were opened. 13 "I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. 14 "And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed. (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

63 | Are angels sinful? | Heb 12:26 | Reighnskye | 135509 | ||
Are angels sinful? Here the author seems to attest the sinfulness of man, by declaring the comparison, that even the angels are charged with error and the heavens themselves are impure. If the angels are charged with impure error, as high as they are, then certainly humanity is even moreso corrupt, beyond even the corruption of angels. Job 4 17 'Can mankind be just before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker? 18 'He puts no trust even in His servants; And against His angels He charges error. (NAS95) Job 15 15 "Behold, He puts no trust in His holy ones, And the heavens are not pure in His sight; 16 How much less one who is detestable and corrupt, Man, who drinks iniquity like water! (NAS95) In contrast, I have often heard what I consider to be a popular heresy, that says angels lack free will, and are therefore incapable of making sinful choices. But if that were the case how could Satan and one-third of the angels then fall from the heavens? - Blessings, Reighnskye |

64 | Am I bound by the Eight Covenants today? | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 135506 | ||
Kalos, Thank you very much for the reference. Am I bound by these eights covenants today? Are they all applicable for today? - "I. The Eight Covenants, Summary: (1) The Edenic Covenant (See Scofield "Genesis 1:26") conditioned the life of man in innocency. (2) The Adamic Covenant (See Scofield "Genesis 3:14") conditions the life of fallen man and gives promise of a Redeemer. (3) The Noahic Covenant (See Scofield "Genesis 9:1") establishes the principle of human government. (4) The Abrahamic Covenant (See Scofield "Genesis 15:18") founds the nation of Israel, and confirms, with specific additions, the Adamic promise of redemption. (5) The Mosaic Covenant (See Scofield "Exodus 19:25") condemns all men, "for that all have sinned." (6) The Palestinian Covenant (See Scofield "Deuteronomy 30:3") secures the final restoration and conversion of Israel. (7) The Davidic Covenant (See Scofield "2 Samuel 7:16") establishes the perpetuity of the Davidic family (fulfilled in Christ, Matthew 1:1; Luke 1:31-33,; Romans 1:3) and of the Davidic kingdom, over Israel, and over the whole earth; to be fulfilled in and by Christ (2 Samuel 7:8-17; Zechariah 12:8; Luke 1:31-33; Acts 15:14-17; 1 Corinthians 15:24). (8) The New covenant rests upon the sacrifice of Christ, and secures the eternal blessedness, under the Abrahamic Covenant Galatians 3:13-29 of all who believe. It is absolutely unconditional, and, since no responsibility is by it committed to man, it is final and irreversible. II. The relation of Christ to the eight covenants is as follows: (1) To the Edenic Covenant, Christ, as the "second Man," the "last Adam" 1 Corinthians 15:45-47 takes the place over all things which the first Adam lost ; Colossians 2:10; Hebrews 2:7-8. (2) He is the "Seed of the woman" of the Adamic Covenant Genesis 3:15; John 12:31; 1 John 3:8; Galatians 4:4; Revelation 20:10 and fulfilled its conditions of toil Mark 6:3 and obedience. (3) As the greatest son of Shem, in Him was fulfilled supremely the promise to Shem in the Noahic Covenant. (See Scofield "Genesis 9:1") Colossians 2:9. (4) He is the "Seed to whom the promises were made" in the Abrahamic Covenant; the son of Abraham obedient unto death Genesis 22:18; Galatians 3:16; Philippians 2:8. (5) He lived sinlessly under the Mosaic covenant and bore for us its curse. Galatians 3:10-13. (6) He lived obediently as a Jew in the land under the Palestinian Covenant, and will yet perform it gracious promises Deuteronomy 28:1-30:9. (7) He is the "Seed," "Heir," and "King" under the Davidic Covenant Matthew 1:1; Luke 1:31-33. (8) His sacrifice is the foundation of the New Covenant Matthew 26:28; 1 Corinthians 11:25. ____________________ (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/ScofieldReferenceNotes/) Footnote at Hebrews 8:8" - Do all of these eight covenants apply to us today? Am I bound if I break any of these covenants? - Blessings, Reighnskye |

65 | Covenants in effect today? | Bible general Archive 2 | Reighnskye | 135504 | ||
Emmaus, I guess that I often see people getting the Old Testament covenants mixed up with the New Covenant of Christ's blood. Instead of interpreting the Old Testament through the greater revelation of the New Testament, I often see the laws and rules of the Old Testament projected by people over the New Testament. A reverse eclipse often takes place, of sorts. - As far as the Apocrypha might be concerned, I view the Book of Enoch as a valid apocryphal book, insofar as the Book of Jude quotes from it. Jude 1 14 It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, 15 to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

Tim, You stated: 1. "I am a real stickler when it comes to statements made about what the Bible 'says'. Thus, if you state that these passage are evidence of others being judged based upon the covenant with Israel, then the passage must actually say that somewhere! :-)" Uumm....I never ever stated anything about a covenant. You are the one who brought up "covenant", not I. You seem to be putting words in my mouth. How are you relating covenant with the Law of Moses? Since when does the enforcement of the Law of Moses mandate covenant? 2. "Otherwise, it is just speculation. All we know from these passages is that God told Israel to destroy certain nations. The basis of His decision is not mentioned in these two passages." However, if we take a look at the greater context of scripture, the basis of His decision can be found earlier on. Here is the original basis for God's destruction of ungodly nations. Genesis 12 1 Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father's house, To the land which I will show you; 2 And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; 3 And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed." (NAS95) And here is Christ's divine rulership over the nation of Israel. Matthew 19 27 Then Peter said to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You; what then will there be for us?" 28 And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My name's sake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life. (NAS95) And here is Christ again in that same judgment seat. Matthew 25 31 "But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. 32 "All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; 33 and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left. (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

75 | Why did God give ten commandments? | Heb 8:13 | Reighnskye | 135470 | ||
Kalos, And for what duration are you accounted to be a sinner? 1 Timothy 1 9 realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers (NAS95) Proverbs 28 4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, But those who keep the law strive with them. (NAS95) Proverbs 29 27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked. (KJV) Ezekiel 44 23 "Moreover, they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. (NAS95) Malachi 3 18 So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him. (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

76 | Why did God give ten commandments? | Heb 8:13 | Reighnskye | 135469 | ||
Tim, You ask: "Where do these passage say anything about enforcing the covenant?" That's just it. These passages say nothing about enforcing the covenant. Yet, the Law of Moses was still in effect to destroy them, insofar as they were judged to be unclean. In fact, these nations who were destroyed were neither members of the house of Israel, nor were they covenant-makers. Nonetheless, the Law of Moses dictated their destruction, even every man, woman and child. They were wholly judged as unholy and profane by the Law of Moses, in the absence of any covenant. Not only are covenant-breakers put to death under the Law of Moses, but also those who do not enter into covenant. I believe that you were the one who brought up the covenant. - Joshua 6 20 So the people shouted, and priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight ahead, and they took the city. 21 They utterly destroyed everything in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword. (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

77 | Why did God give ten commandments? | Heb 8:13 | Reighnskye | 135465 | ||
Kalos, Law is not made for the righteous, but is rather made for sinners. Do you consider yourself as being in this category? 1 Timothy 1 8 But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9 realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers 10 and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted. (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

78 | Why did God give ten commandments? | Heb 8:13 | Reighnskye | 135464 | ||
Pcdarcan, You ask: "But are Christians under the Law of Moses? -which btw is a subset of all the laws given to the Israelites and all these are referred to (not suprisingly) as "the Law" in Christain sciptures." Hhhhmmmm....interesting question. I've always been taught to obey the Ten Commandments (which would infer obeying the other 600 odd commandments too.) I'm stumped. - James 2 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. 11 For He who said, "DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY," also said, "DO NOT COMMIT MURDER." Now if you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty.

79 | Why did God give ten commandments? | Heb 8:13 | Reighnskye | 135463 | ||
Tim, You ask: "Where do these passage say anything about the Law of Moses?" Well, what other law might they be referring to, other than the Law of Moses? There's a judgment seat and blood and eternal condemnation and all that. Is there some other law that comes to mind? - Blessings, Reighnskye |

80 | "and on their heart I will write it" | Matt 5:17 | Reighnskye | 135462 | ||
Kalos, Here is post ID# 115286 as you suggested: "NASB Jeremiah 31:33 "But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD, "I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. "It takes unacceptable theological legerdemain to conclude that when God writes the Torah (law) on hearts he changes it into something other than the Torah" (Restoring the Jewishness of the Gospel, David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1988)! matt517" I fully agree. - Blessings, Reighnskye |
