64 | Is the bride of christ the church? | Eph 5:32 | alanh | 144459 | ||
The bride of Christ and the body of Christ are two among many metaphors used to discribe the church. The metaphor is used in the 5th chapter of Ephesians and the 21st and 22nd chapters of Revelation. | ||||||
65 | Is the Holy Spirit apart of God? | John 14:16 | alanh | 141322 | ||
The Holy Spirit is God Acts 5 verse 3 states that Ananias lied to the Holy Spirit and in the very next verse that he lied to God. Although they are separate personalites they are yet still God. As is with Christ He is separate but yet God John 1 verse 1.In the Old Testament the term Elohim is used for God this term is a singular plural word and aptly describes God. | ||||||
66 | Pact with Death Isreal an the Antichrist | Dan 9:27 | alanh | 136508 | ||
Ezekiel 38.11 says nothing about Maygog. Taken in context it is clearly speaking of the invasion of Egypt and Judea by Antiochus. Cf. Daniel 11.31 to 32, 36. This Calmet interprets of Cambyses, his cruelties in Egypt and his evil design to destroy the Israelites. According to John the antichrist existed in the 1st century, and were no more than those whom ..deny the Father and the Son.. In Matthew 24 Jesus is answering two questions posed by His disciples. First, ..When will these things happen.. referring to the statement made by our Lord in verse 2, and ..What will be the sign of Your coming and the end of the age.. ,referring to the Christian age or the end of the world. He answers the first question in verses 4 to 35 and the second question in verses 36 to 41. Marks account of these events makes two interesting statements. First, in verse 10 he says, .. the gospel must first be preached unto all the nations.. Paul in his letter to the Colossians states, .. the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven.. Colossians 1.23. The second statement is in Mark 13.30 and says, .. This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished.. A generation is 65 to 80 years. As for ..the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not.. this is none other than the raising of the Roman standards in the temple by Titus in 70CE. There is no evidence in Scripture that a third temple will be built. As for Daniels prophecies in chapter 9 verses 24 to 27 he is merely stating three things. First, when Messiah will come, secondly when He will be cut off, i.e. crucified, and thirdly, what punishment will be imposed on the Jews for their participation in the second event. The book of Revelation which is where I am sure you get the term Magog from is als a book of figurative speech. There are four important things to remember about Revelation. 1. It is a revelation. 1.1 2. to seven churches in Asia. 1.11 3. in signs. He sent and sign.i.fied it. 1.1 4. of things that must shortly come to pass. 1.1 This book like Matthew 24 is about the destruction of Jerusalem in 70CE. |

71 | The Old Covenant lingers? | Heb 8:13 | alanh | 135347 | ||
Jeremiah says the covenant was to be replaced. Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: If something is replaced that means it is done away with. The Old Covenant was a shadow of the new. The new covenant was better (kreitt¨n,¦Ê¦Ñ¦Å¦É¦Ó¦Ó¦Ø¦Í) than the old. According to Hebrews the new covenant is based on "better promises" and a better hope" (7:19'22; 8:6). Inherent in the better covenant are "better sacrifices" (9:23), a "better possession" (10:34), a "better country" (11:16), a "better life" (11:35), and the blood of Jesus which "that speaketh better than that of Abel" (12:24, NEB; cf. 6:9; 7:7; 11:40). |

72 | Could someone explain Job 4:17-21? | Job 4:17 | alanh | 135335 | ||
Job 4:17-21 The word servants here refers to angels; and the idea is, that God was so pure that he did not confide even in the exalted holiness of angels - meaning that their holiness was infinitely inferior to his. God had the highest possible holiness, such as to render the holiness of all others, no matter how exalted, as nothing - as all lesser lights are as nothing before the glory of the sun.How much less - (àó 'aph). This particle has the general sense of addition, accession, especially of something more important;” yea more, besides, even.” Gesenius. The meaning here is, “how much more true is this of man!” He puts no confidence in his angels; he charges them with frailty; how much more strikingly true must this be of man!In them that dwell in houses of clay - In man. The phrase “houses of clay” refers to the body made of dust. They are destroyed from morning to evening. man’s life is excecdingly short, so short that he scarce seems to live from morning to night. They perish forever - Without being restored to life. They pass away, and nothing is ever seen of them again! Without any regarding it - Without its being noticed. How strikingly true is this! What a narrow circle is affected by the death of a man, and how soon does even that circle cease to be affected! Doth not their excellency - go away! - Personal beauty, corporeal strength, powerful eloquence, and various mental endowments, pass away, or are plucked up by the roots; they are no more seen or heard among men, and their memory soon perisheth. They die, even without wisdom - If wisdom means the pursuit of the best end, by the most legitimate and appropriate means, the great mass of mankind appear to perish without it. But, if we consider the subject more closely, we shall find that all men die in a state of comparative ignorance. |

73 | how to enters the kingdom of GOD | John 3:5 | alanh | 135293 | ||
Baptism. Gal 3:27 says we are baptized into Christ. 1Co 1:2 "says unto the church of God which is at Corinth, even them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their Lord and ours" and Ephesians 1:3 states, "who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ" is the not the same as in God's kingdom. | ||||||
74 | what does the water refer to in john 3:5 | John 3:5 | alanh | 135267 | ||
Some allege that the baptism commissioned by Christ was not a rite in water. Rather, they contend, it is an immersion in the Holy Spirit. What are the facts regarding this matter? “How would you respond to those who make the claim that passages such as Galatians 3:27; Romans 6:3,4; Colossians 2:12; 1 Corinthians 12:13, and 1 Peter 3:21 – refer to a ‘Spirit’ baptism, rather than to ‘water’ baptism?” The baptism mentioned in Matthew 28:19 had human administrators. Christ commissioned the apostles to go and make disciples, baptizing them into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Inasmuch as an apostle could not baptize “in the Spirit” (only Christ could do that – Mt. 3:11), one is forced to conclude that the baptism of Matthew 28:19 is water baptism, not Spirit baptism. I am unaware of any reputable Bible scholar who contends otherwise. If, then, the other passages that mention baptism (see above) are of the same import, it follows that they likewise refer to water baptism, not Spirit baptism. Both Romans 6:3-4 and Colossians 2:12 make it clear that the baptism of these passages involves both an immersion in “something,” and a “being raised” from the same substance. This makes perfectly good sense if water baptism is in view. On the other hand, if the “Spirit” is the element of the baptism, this would suggest that one is buried in the Spirit, and subsequently “raised from” the Spirit. This would imply further that the new convert would not have the Spirit, and therefore, would not belong to the Lord (Rom. 8:9; Gal. 4:6). This conclusion obviously is wrong – thus demonstrating that the element of the baptism in Romans 6:3-4 and Colossians 2:12 is not the Holy Spirit. By default, it must be water baptism. Water is specifically associated with baptism in 1 Peter 3:21. If the allusion here, then, is to water baptism, and yet 1 Peter 3:21 refers to the same sort of baptism as the other passages cited, then clearly they speak of water baptism as well. The passage that would come closest to teaching a “Spirit” baptism would be 1 Corinthians 12:13, but, the fact is, a careful analysis of related passages reveals that not even this text teaches a baptism in the Spirit. Note the following logic: The baptism of 1 Corinthians 12:13 puts one into the one “body,” which is the same as the “church” (Eph. 1:22-23; Col. 1:18,24). But the church is identified with the kingdom of Christ (Mt. 16:18-19). Thus, the baptism of the text under consideration introduces one into the Lord’s kingdom. However, a related passage demonstrates that it is through the birth of “water” that one enters Christ’s kingdom (Jn. 3:3-5). One is forced to conclude, therefore, that the baptism of 1 Corinthians 12:13 is water baptism. In this connection, one should also carefully study Ephesians 5:26, and note the reference to the “washing of water.” |

75 | what does the water refer to in john 3:5 | John 3:5 | alanh | 135168 | ||
this One will baptize with *holy *spirit and fire. and thus He did on Pentecost and in 70CE and an obvious allusion to hell fire. To have the Spirit come upon oneself is to be baptized by the Spirit. Jesus spoke of being baptized of the water and the Spirit, but in know way said everyone must be baptized thus. Christians today are baptized by water because it is commanded in order to become a Christian and be saved (Mark 16:15-16; Mt 28:19-20; Acts 2:38; 1 Peter 3:21). According to Ephesians 4 there is only one baptism today and that is water baptism. |

The water in John 3:5 is baptism and the Spirit is the Holy Spirit. Just as Jesus when baptized of John was baptized of the water and the Spirit (the Spirit descended upon Him in the form of a Dove). | ||||||
77 | Millions led by Satan equal Goat Nations | Rev 20:8 | alanh | 126125 | ||
The point is if the beheading is figurative then the 1000 years is figurative and if the 1000 years is literal then the behheaded souls on the throne is literal. Think about it. You cannot have part of this passage literal and part of it figurative. Also, If the reigning ends with the thousand years, the living ends with a thousand years, that is not a millennium I would look forward to. I prefer the idea of eternal life espoused in the Scriptures (Mat 19:29; Joh 3:15-16; Heb 5:9; 9:15; 1Jo 2:25; 5:13; Jud 21). | ||||||

My fellow Bible student you are reading things into the Scriptures that are not there by taking prophetic language and reading it literally. The book of Revelation is a book that tells of the coming destruction of Jerusalem in 70CE. When you read the first chater you find that it is (1)a Revelation (1:1); (2) to the seven churches of Asia (1:11); (3) in signs (He sent and sign-i-fied it) (1:1); (4) of things that must shortly come to pass (1:1; cf. 1:3; 22:6,10). The 1000 year reign of Christ. The text says, "they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." The pronoun "we" is a personal pronoun of the first person, but "they" is a is a personal pronoun of the third person; the verbs "lived" and "reigned" are verbs of the past tense, but "shall live and reign" are verbs of future tense. No person can claim the right to change the sentence of the text from the third personal pronoun "they" to the first personal pronoun "we," nor to chage the verbs "lived" and "reigned" of the past tense to "shall live and reign" of the future tense. That is too much change for any man to make who has an ounce of respect for the word of God. In his vision John "saw thrones" and the ones that "sat on them." And those whom he "saw" were the "souls" of the "beheaded." They had not "worshipped" the beast. They had not "received" the mark, and they "lived" and "reigned" with Christ. First: "They lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." It does not mention the second coming of Christ, a bodily resurrection, a reign on earth, or a literal throne in Jerusalem or elsewhere. It does not mention us, and it does not mention Christ on earth. Revelaton 20 mentions none of these things, and a curse was pronounced on the one who add to the words of this book (revelation 22:18). Second: "They" lived and reigned with Christ. It says "they"-the souls of the martyrs who were beheaded. Only those who were beheaded entered the 1000 yrs. If the 1000 yrs is literal then the behading is literal, and only those literally beheaded entered into that millennium. If the beheading is figurative, the 1000 yrs. is figurative, and that cuts us out; for there could be no literal millennium. If a literal 1000 yrs, then a literal behading; if a figurative beheading, then a figurative 1000 yrs, and either way there is no millennium for us. Third: They "lived" and "reigned." If the term "reigned" is limited by a thousand years, the verb "lived"is also limited by those thosand years. If the reigning ends with the thousand years, the living ends with a thousand years, and the millennium will end with everybody in it ceasing to live. That would be quite a hopeless millennium. There is no millennium. |

80 | The Ten Commandments in the Bible | Ex 20:1 | alanh | 126012 | ||
The Ten Commandments were a part of the old covenant and were nailed to the cross (Col. 2:14). Although many of the commandments are repeated under the New Covenant one is not: "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy." (Exodus 20:8-11; Deut. 5:12-15). We are no longer to worship on the Sabbath. The covenant of the Ten Commandments were given only to the Jews Moses said,"Jehovah our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. Jehovah made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day" (Deut. 5:2-3). The Ten Commandments were indeed that covenant of which he spoke, notice the following, "And he was there with Jehovah forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments" (Exodus 34:28). In summary the Ten Commandments were nailed to the cross. The maral laws can all be found in the New Testament writings after the church has begun. The fourth law is no where to be found in the New Testament after Acts 2. |
