61 | Who cares to discuss this verse? | Rom 8:19 | ischus | 115579 | ||
Make sure you read the entire section in context of the verse. You will find that it is talking about God's natural creation (the earth), and us, his children. ischus |

No. I think he would mind if the Christian left God for a cult though. | ||||||

EdB, No offense taken, and I make the same apology for any rudeness on my part. God did give David all of Saul's wives, who were mostly pagan. Anyway, I think we know where each other stands here, and I respect everything you have said, and I will not press this issue any longer. Thank you for your patience and willingness to discuss. Praise God for his grace in every way! ischus |

I truly believe that the bible is God's work, but are you going to deny the fact that many additions, changes, and curruptions have been involved over the thousands of years of translation? In the current bible we have, there are hundreds of variant texts on hundreds of verses, and several entire sections that are either misplaced, mistranslated, or completely false and not a part of the original MSS. God has his part in the bible...so does man. Let's be honest here. I am not suggesting anything other than what I said here- don't read into it. The bible is God's word. God is sovereign. ischus |

JJ-KIDD, No one can be certain of the answer to this question, but if you are wondering if he descended into hades, the answer is definitely no to that. ischus |

By the way, are you sure that Ezra even wrote this text while under inspiration, or is this a record of his journal written by another person? ischus |

68 | Sexual sin in the corithian church | 1 Corinthians | ischus | 115568 | ||
Tren't, basically, it was a part of their culture. Many people in their city were active in fornication and temple prostitution as a way of life and worship. They were struggling with coming out of this lifestle and going against the customs of their people. ischus |

Brendac, It sounds like you would be most benefitted by a bible dictionary or encyclopedia. You can find many of these online, or at a theological library. If you still can't find the info you need, I would be glad to email some good stuff on several of the names. ischus |

EdB, ---"Either the Bible is the inspired word of God or it is not. I believe it is the inspired word." ***Amen, it is!!! What you fail to distinguish between is the "inspiration" of God and the "revelation" of God. All of scripture is inspired by God, yes, but not all is His revelation. The bible is full of texts that are not "thus says the Lord" texts. Ezra 9 is one of them. God inspired this to be in the bible exactly because Ezra's words were not his revelation. It was to teach this exact lesson of taking scripture out of context to make it say what you want it to, just like everyone is doing here. ---"Marriage is covenant and you see in this passage God strictly forbids any covenant. Giving the reason that once they do they will start messing with pagan gods. It is not real hard to see." ***What god did Jacob's wives worship? What god did David's wives worship? What god did Solomon's wives worship? Did God have a problem with these marriages? What nationality were the wives of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob's sons, Moses, David, Solomon....? Did God have a problem with these marriages? The answer is no. What he has a problem with is worshiping other gods, not believing in them. ***What is the first of the ten commandments? "Have no other gods before me." Why not say 'don't believe in other gods,' or 'don't worship other gods,' or 'don't associate with people who believe in other gods?' BECAUSE HE WAS FINE WITH THEM JUST HAVING HIM FIRST. HE DIDN'T EXPECT MONOTHEISM. HE DIDN'T LIKE IT, BUT HE DIDN'T EXPECT EVERYONE TO STOP BELIEVING IN OTHER GODS. HE KNEW THEY WOULD MESS UP; HE JUST WANTED THEM TO KEEP HIM FIRST. SOLOMON FAILED TO DO THIS. MANY PEOPLE DID NOT FAIL TO KEEP GOD FIRST. DO WE PUT OTHER THINGS BEFORE GOD???? YES. DOES GOD WANT THIS???? NO. BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS, HE WANTS US TO REFOCUS AND PUT HIM FIRST AGAIN. ---"If you want to believe differently fine but don’t insult our intelligence or the word of God by trying to convince us you right." ***Thank you for this comment. I just can't support something like divorce or racism, both of which clearly insult the word and nature of God. ischus |

71 | why don't people study the old testmant | OT general | ischus | 115554 | ||
Ok, so now I need to hear your view on the current status of Hell, Heaven, and the Kingdom of God. Are you saying that Hell and/or Satan no longer exists? How do you interpret the 1000 years in Rev. 20? What is your view of the "already, not yet" philosophy? ischus |

72 | Free will verses destiny? | Bible general Archive 2 | ischus | 115553 | ||
jjg, The issue in your title does not match the issue in your post. One is about free will/ predestination, and the other is about God's foreknowledge, all of which have been discussed in detail on many occasions on this forum, and can be found in the quick search box. ischus |

I would also be willing to discuss the theology of baptism (and its origin, significance of John's baptism, Jesus' baptism,etc.), but only from an exegetical standpoint from specific sciptures... I don't care for jumping around the bible and supplying invalid conclusions for salvation, nor do I care for classic theologies lacking in study and logic. ischus |

Emmaus, I appreciate your post here, and I respect your interpretation of Ezra. We simply differ here and that's ok. I really do believe in everything you have said about the troubles that these type of mariages can cause, and I am with you on all of your points. MY only point is that in the book of Ezra, God was not asking them to divorce their wives, and you have seen my reasoning for this. I think you are right in requesting another topic here. We have both done our part, and its time to move on. SO...... Here are some other books/topics that I enjoy to discuss: -Ps.22 and Jesus on the cross -1 Cor 2 and the HS -Divorce in the bible :) -Law and Grace in the OT -Ecclesiastes -The Pentateuch What are some things that you have on your mind? By the way, I used to have my age posted on my user information, but I have taken it off recently because of some comments that were directed towards my age. I am old enough to read, and young enough to still get around, so I think I'm doing pretty well. :) ischus |

75 | Get'g the right message from our Bibles? | Bible general Archive 2 | ischus | 115541 | ||
Rowdy, I really think that this message is vital and needed. Jesus Christ needs to be the focus, and everything else must grow out of our relationship with HIM. I think that in a forum like this, where we like to look at sub-categories of less importance, that we need to keep this in mind. I think that we sometimes struggle with our love for the word and the study of becoming more of a focus than the one Who the word is about. It is healthy to look at and admire a telescope, but if all we do is look AT it, we will never look THROUGH it to the thing it is designed to point to- Jesus. Great thoughts... ischus |

76 | Intermarriage | Ezra 9:2 | ischus | 115538 | ||
Steve, After Israel returns from exile, the is never another account of them falling into idol worship or polytheism. I am sure that those who took wives were well aware of what they were doing, and were fully commited to Yahweh when they married. Also, Do you have anything to say about the divorce that was "commanded" or the fact that God never has a problem with people marrying Gentiles as long as they remain faithful to him? |
||||||
77 | Intermarriage | Ezra 9:2 | ischus | 115537 | ||
EdB and Emmaus, I agree that God does not want people to practice the worship of foreign gods, but you need to look at to things here: First, God is not against marrying who are polytheistic- look at Solomon, David, Moses, Jacob, and others. The sins of Solomon had nothing to do with his marriage, but with his falling away from God instead of showing God to his wives. Second, The passages that you give in Nehemiah are descriptive of the people, not prescriptive Words of God. This is the case for many of the other verses as well. When you look at narritive material, you need to take into account who is speaking, God or man. |

A Few more for the list.... 1) what is your definition of the Kingdom that Jesus spoke about (and is it phys. or Spiritual) 2) What was Jesus' ministry about? What was his goal? 3) What did the cross accomplish, and what did it not accomplish? 4)What is God's view of the Jews and the Law today? I will look for your answers tomorrow- I am out for tonight. ischus |

Ok, you make good points here. Can you explain to me then, in light of everything that you have said, what exactly Jesus has done already, has yet to do, and where he is at this moment? Also, can you tell me how you interpret Rev.20? |
