Hi lighted steps, thank you for your comment, now I am totally in agreement with Beja. (o: I am glad there were others that got uplifted from our lively discourse. As I said earlier to Meta, My belief is that we are unable to pin the answer down, and come into full agreement, because neither one of us is right. The answer likely lies somewhere in between, or possibly outside of the box. We will know the answer soon enough, when we discover it in glory. Our Lord's thoughts are just that much higher than ours. confer Isa 55:9 Lord Bless, keliy |

62 | devils physical appearence | Bible general Archive 4 | keliy | 221591 | ||
No one has ever described him physically, because he can take on many forms. He can be as a serpent, or an angel of light. Whatever he deems to be necessary to deceive. His spiritual appearance is very noticable however, and we can be taught to recognize this by studying the Word of God. A place to start might be Book of Revelation, chapter 17 Might I suggest that you follow the reading of that chapter with a chapter out of Psalms, such as Ps 103? Ps 23? Blessings, keliy |

63 | God wants us to prospers in all things | Bible general Archive 4 | keliy | 221680 | ||
Yes it is true that God wants us to prosper. Just as parents love their children, and would love to see them prosper. Yet this is not the way things have been since Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden. What we live in now, is referred to as a "fallen state" because our original parents 'fell' from God's grace. |

Hello Azure, You have quite the discerning eye, and I commend you. I am sorry for any misunderstanding, but the problem is with Lockman's program, which is otherwise one of the best I have seen. I had gone to my brother's house and when I logged in as keliy on his computer, it does say, 'welcome keliy' in the log-out option box. But when I posted, the thread says that the post did not come from keliy It must be the cookie stored in the son of our mother's computer that causes the post within the thread to be identified as sonofmom. Please do not judge according to laws written by Lockman Foundation. to cause my brother to be in violation, and jeopoardize his privelege to enjoy this forum is not a problem with mis-posting. I might have to sign in under my brothers name to avoid further confusion, which would be dishonest, since this program does not allow two different users on his computer. please accept my apologies for any confusion. Lord Bless, keliy |

65 | I just started reading the Bible and.... | OT general | keliy | 211233 | ||
Pete, Hello again, Thank you for bringing up some very interesting points to ponder. One thing becomes obvious to me: what is happening here is a selection of passages that seem to be contradictory on the surface, but when lining them up with the whole of Scripture, God's wonderful plan becomes abundantly clear. Scripture will always prove Scripture. It is against God's nature for there to be a single contradiction. When there appears to be anything amiss, it is always us who possess the faulty wisdom and not God. What you are standing upon, is the letter of the law. Not the Spirit. God's Spirit verses ink. At the risk of over-simplifying, I want to give my opinion of the Ten Commandments: The Commands were not given in order to let God choose between the ones who could keep them, better than the ones who were unable to keep them. It is about Love more than it is about obedience. Since we are unable to give God anything that He did not give to us first, then how would God actually benefit from our efforts? This is would actually amount to salvation by works. Which we have been told, is utterly imposible: For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. (James 2:10 NASB) Since we will all fail, every one, the purpose of God's commands is not to keep us in line, but rather to teach us about who God is, that He is something we cannot be. God is holy, and we are sinful. 'For I am the LORD who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God; thus you shall be holy, for I am holy.' (Lev 11:45 NASB) Yet we will ALL fail, as implied in Romans: "even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; for ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a GIFT by His grace through the redemption WHICH IS IN Christ Jesus" (3:22-24, NASB, -emphasis mine) So then, where do we ever get our sufficiency for living a godly lifestyle? We are to recognize that our sufficiency will always fail in contrast to God’s sufficiency. Man’s sufficiency, the Bible makes clear, is not sufficient. We simply do not have the resources that make us capable to meet the task set before us. The task is godliness. We simply do not possess the adequate resources to undertake the task of godliness—despite the fact that such is the path in which we are required to walk. (So, Pray for strength! -The Lord's Prayer is found in Matthew 6) When we notice the contrast between our sufficiency and God’s sufficiency, we should also notice that this speaks of the differences between living by the old covenant of law and the new covenant of grace. You may remember while reading in Matthew, as you came to the Last Supper, where Jesus said, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood which is shed for you." This means that the shed blood of Jesus Christ, is actually purchasing for God's children an awesome new arrangement for walking with God. And Paul writes in his epistle to the Corinthians, "Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, (6), who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. (2 Cor 3:5-6 NASB) To sum up, We are to be servants, Yes, but New covenant servants. This means we, as Christians are to occupy ourselves in the service of God under the terms of the New covenant. The parable of the Talents was also in Matthew. Might I suggest you go back to re-read Matthew in a new light? Remember, the parable of the talents is among three farewell parables that Jesus gave to His apostles shortly before the Last Supper. This was obviously something that Jesus wanted to leave with His apostles before He departed. In Him, keliy |

Hi Pete, thanks for responding, I have no problem with your timing, it is a non-issue with me, and it is always good to hear from you. Your questions are quite challenging, and thought provoking and that is why I come to this forum when I can. You asked: how then are we to know at what precise time our faulty wisdom is not faulty. That is an excellent question. But, if we could answer that, our wisdom would not be faulty, now would it? (o; What I said was, 'When there appears to be anything amiss, it is always us who possess the faulty wisdom and not God." -The key here, is "appears" and it suggests an impression that could be an erroneous one. (I think, therefore I err) In response to your next question, on Deut 13:10, you wrote, "He commands us to kill our brother or any other family member if they try to entice us away from Him" I would bring up certain rules of hermeneutics here relating to cultural context but time and space being limited, I will give you the short answer and if you still are at a loss, I would appreciate another reply. What the author is trying to get across here, concerns the dangers of idolatry. In the prior chapter (12:30,31) he had warned following in ways of the Canaanites. In this chapter he is warning against the rise of idolatry from among themselves. Satan often uses people that are closest to us as tools to draw us away from God. A stranger would be far less likely to have an effect, satan well knows. When the seducer does appear, as a brother, child, parent, or whatever, he must not only be strongly resisted, but also punished by the law of the land. In that culture, I believe it was getting stoned to death. This was to be done not hastily, or privately, but after proper trial and conviction; and you, as informer, would be given the duty to cast the first stone. So Pete, when you do have a question like this, it is good to go back into the time and culture of the original author and the original language to translate for yourself, -after praying for understanding, and God will be faithful to help your understanding become more complete. We are actually commanded to do this, in 2Tim 2:15: Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. (NASB) Is rendered in the (KJV) as, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Notice, for example, where the NASB writes "accurately handling", is in the Greek, "orthotomeo" Let us get an answer from: A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament, by Arndt and Gingrich (p. 584), The Greek word orthotomeo is found once only in the New Testament, hardly enough to dogmatically state it means "dissect," and the authoritative source—A Greek-English Lexicon—says perhaps it means "guide the word of truth along a straight path." This is ample proof that to translate orthotomeo as "dissecting" is STRICTLY AN INTERPRETATION. Furthermore, the Septuagint shows the King James Version translators correctly rendered it "divide." I need to split this into two parts for sending, -More to follow (o: keliy |

Pete, Sorry for the interruption, I exceeded the maximum characters. Here is the rest of my letter: You also asked, "why didn't God kill Lucifer way back in time before all of this mess began?" This goes back to the beginning of God's plan, and why did God, who knows the end from the beginning, ever create Lucifer in the first place? (?!) A parallel question would be, Why did God even put that tree in the midst of the garden if Adam and Eve were not to eat of it? Again, God knew beforehand exactly what would happen. These questions lead up to this: "Why did God even give us the Freedom of Choice? Without the alternatives I just mentioned, would there be a Choice? Could we possibly choose not to sin if sin did not exist, and therefore there was no temptation? Could we ever make a valid decision for ourselves? The answer is quite simple to understand, If there was no choice, there would be no true Love. We would be as robots. God could have made us into holograms that walk around saying, "I love You" all day long, (but I think you get my point.) You also stated, "The Mosaic law of not killing applies to everyone, so to use the argument that we are no longer under the law is baffling." Yes, baffling is a good word here. But Sometimes the laws are broken for the greater good, such as putting a murderer to death. I always try to remember that God is sovereign, He created life, and it is up to Him to decide if a certain life should continue or not. What we look at as a horrible tragedy might be a good thing in the big picture of God bringing His will to us. This is hard, I know, but His ways are higher than our ways. (Isa 55:9) On the other hand, being no longer under the law, I was referring to Jesus' 2 greatest commands. As Jesus said, If ye love me, keep my commandments. (John 14:15) There is no way we can keep the commands of Jesus and break one of the ten commandments at the same time. You mentioned your quote about Mark 10:21, "sell all that you have, give to the poor, follow him" and then you comment, "He died for all of humanity but only the Jews need to sell everything they own" This, again, needs to be looked at in context, what is God's purpose for that line being in the Bible. If we each interpret this passage on our own, well then we end up with as many interpretations as we have readers. God's Word is much more truthful than that. The context of this verse is a person coming to Jesus with a question: And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (Luke 18:18) Jesus responded as He did, because the man was asking what he could DO to inherit eternal life. Do you get this? There is nothing that we can DO to inherit eternal life, so Jesus gave this ruler something to do that Jesus knew was beyond his capabilities. That salvation by works is something that is beyond human capabilities is the message that Jesus is teaching to us all in these words. And also, any time we take Jesus words at face value, we are likely to interpret Him falsely, this is intentional, our Lord explains in Matt 13:15: For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.' I hope that many of your questions are sufficiently addressed, the ones that are not, are solved by using many of the same principles. Notice how I keep referring back to the Gospel of Matthew? May God continue to Bless you in your studies, keliy I have written this letter longer than I should, because I didn’t have the time to make it shorter. -Pascal |

Pete, you are getting a little free with your quotes of mine, but that is OK, it helps to state your case, and helps me to know your thoughts. I will not be strict with you, but in trying to straighten it out, I will say that when you said, "Your argument of time and culture as a reason God allowed rogue family members to be killed goes against God's nature" that: No, I did not say anything was a reason that 'God allowed rogue family members to be killed' The thought I tried to convey was God ordered that he must not only be strongly resisted, but also punished by the law of the land. Stoning to death was a cruel way to die, but it was the law. The adulterous woman brought to Jesus was about to be stoned to death, but she received a reprieve through the grace of our Lord. That is where the differences of time and culture come in. No, it does not go against God's nature. God often killed people in the OT for what we might call 'minor infractions'. For example, look at 2 Sam 6:3; 6:6 and 6:7. So they set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart. ...And when they came to Nachon's threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by the ark of God. God killed Uzzah, who thought he was doing a favor when the ark teetered, Uzzah reached out his hand to steady it and God took his life on the spot. Can you now See it? Another example is Lot's wife, in Gen 19:26 But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. God killed her for looking back. What did you say about God's nature? Again, we are living in a completely different culture than in OT times. In a different country, over 2400 years ago, things were way different. We are living now in a new Covenant with God, the Covenant of Grace. Just because God does not wipe people out for minor infractions in our lifetime does not mean it never happened, it did. It continued in the NT, in acts 5:3, 5:5, 5:6, But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him. And in 5:10, his wife who was his accomplice in the lie, walked in and suffered the same fate. Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband. Now, really Pete, Ananias and Sapphira sold a possession, and lied about the price they received and were killed without trial. Are you still standing on the grounds that no one would ever be killed for trying to sway a family member into idolatrous practices, because it is against God's nature? How about a single angel wiping out 185,000 assyrians in one night? (2 Kin 19:35) That should change some people's perception of nice, gentle golden-haired angels, should it not? In the Old Testament God appears overly harsh but His reason could likely be to demonstrate the exacting requirements of the Law. This also demonstrates the need for grace that would eventually be manifested on the cross. In the relative comfort of our modern society much of this violence seems reprehensible yet we can conclude that this harsh requirement was a necessary legality to instill obedience. I really hope your comprehension of God's character and propensities is growing, and you are not just becoming more thoroughly confused. (o: In His service and yours, keliy |

Pete, I really feel like I am getting to know you, but there is no personal profile on record for you. Can you write a small paragraph to tell us on the Forum what church you attend, if you do, and where are you in your walk? When you wrote, "There are many people in the world today who do not sin." I would like to ask you to name one of them. We never have to be taught how to sin, just think if you ever saw a two-year-old scream "NO!" to its parents. I heard a sermon once where the speaker, an instructor at a Bible College, said that everyone of us breaks every one of the Ten Commandments every single day. Hearing this, a student in the front row piped up, "Professor, how could we break the commandment of keeping the Sabbath Day holy, when today is Tuesday?" The Prof responded with, "Young man, the 4th command states, 'Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work. But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God' Now, when you are sitting in your chair, goofing off when you are supposed to be learning, you are breaking the 4th Commandment!" So, do you see? The standard of God is perfect holiness. We are completely unable to ever attain that standard. We are completely insufficient to even be in God's presence without the righteousness of Christ. It would be like fire and water trying to occupy the same space. There is only one person on earth who never sinned. And that is Jesus. Amen and Lord Bless. keliy |

Hello KcabmI4 I agree with you that the person writing to the paper doesn't have a clue. But neither do the ones who are reading his blather. Many who have unformed opinions will agree with him. You asked what was the agenda, There it is. The sad part is, you can't unring a bell. Yes, the words have been unleashed, and whatever damage is done, our Lord knows. But there is something you can say to answer him. We are not defeated. You said if we answer him, satan will only bring more. Exactly. That is our service in this world, and our service will be judged in the refiner's fire. I once wrote a reply to a local column by Joel NcNally, and the paper published it. My reply was longer than his original column, and I prayed over my submission, that my bell would ring louder than his. I felt I had done my part. Most of the other times that Joel raised my ire, I let my fellow christians know about it, and that accomplished nothing. Is anything known about the author, you ask? No, and it does not matter. His name is printed as Solmon Smith,and he is just one in a long line, prowling about while serving the enemy, who seeks out whom he may destroy. Remember, "we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]. " (Eph 6:12) The only way to defeat this foe is by using the Word of God. It was the only weapon used by Jesus in Matt 4, when the tempter came to him after a 40 day fast, In an attempt to lure Jesus into sin, said, "If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread" Jesus simply answered, "It is written...." -to all 3 powerful enticements, and satan was defeated. So as Solomon Smith said in his published letter, "Can Christians be any more clueless about what the bible says? This is the fault of Christians, not Mr. Smith. We as the Lord's servants are ordered to "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Tim 2:15) And the Old Testament Command: "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. "You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. "You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. "You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. (Deu 6:6-9) This is how we must answer people like Smith who call us "shallow" as he proclaims,"The truth is human decency and compassion are what guide us in following the universal law of love. It comes from the heart." We as Christians know "The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?" Jer 17:9 So, we must be diligent in our studies. Thank God for forums such as this, where we can fortify ourselves against these relentless onslaughts. God Bless, and Bless God! keliy P.S. if, as you say, we are unable to legislate morality, then lets take all police officers of the force, because they are wasting taxpayer's money. |

Amen Brother John. Thanks for the illumination St.Paul makes also makes an awesome statement in Romans 8, where he declares: "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (ROM 8:2-4) Notice that the law was fulfilled in us. Paul is Not saying that it is fulfilled By us. Jesus is the only One who ever fulfilled all of the law. Jesus said, "I do always those things that please the Father." (John 8:29) and He asked the Jews one day, "Which of you convinceth Me of sin?" (8:46) "Which of you can find a fault in Me?" Then said Pilate to the chief priests and [to] the people, I find no fault in this man. (Luk 23:4) Truly we may find rest in Him. Thank you Jesus! Enjoy this 'Lord's Day' keliy |

75 | dead sea scrolls and the return of Chris | OT general | keliy | 221157 | ||
The manuscripts generally date between 150 BC to 70 AD, so therefore are of great religious and historical significance. Being identified as around 40 percent biblical, 30 percent apocryphal and 30 percent Sectarian, they seem to have more historical significance than prophetical. By now I am curious to see what your own answer to this question will be. |

78 | Does a baby go to heaven | NT general | keliy | 215887 | ||
Hello princeofpeace24, Yes, a baby is unable to make a choice, unable to repent and is unable to place its faith in anything, which causes a pause to consider the doctrine of infant baptism. What I have learned since then is that God really could not care less about the teachings and doctrines of man concerning His Church, which is Christ's Body. Mat 19:14 But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven." Our Creator loves ALL His children, and those who do not choose against Him are unlikely to be guilty of the unforgivable sin, and thereby are certainly covered by the Blood of Christ. This has always been an ongoing debate, which just shows our lack of wisdom and lack of trust. John 20:31 says, "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name." We would best be served by striving for our own salvation and worrying less about those who are only in the hands of God (o: Lord's Blessings, keliy |

80 | IS BAPTISM NECESSARY | NT general | keliy | 221093 | ||
Being 'born of water' refers to natural childbirth, in Jn 3:4, and baptism is not there, but mentioned earlier, in chapter 1. Being born of water, is meaning when the mother's 'water breaks' before birth. We can see in the surrounding text that this was not understood as baptism. Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born, can he?" Another view is that the water is in reference to the water baptism of repentance taught by John the Baptist. Contextually, the Gospel of John mentions John the Baptist in 1:6-8 and vss. 19-36. So, John's ministry has already been in view here. If the case was for baptism in Jn 3:5, then Jesus would have been speaking of the "baptism of repentance" preached by John the Baptist. Some additional proof should be offered, to those who might say that they are not convinced that John 3:5 does not teach the necessity of baptism. The proof is found in God's word. In Him who there is no shadow of turning. The following passages may be used to prove that baptism in not necessary for salvation. Rom 3:22, 26, 28; 4:5; 5:1 Gal 3:8, 24 Eph 2:8 Personally, I feel that salvation through baptism is salvation through 'works' and therefore denies the sufficiency of Christ's blood to save us from our sins. If we could be saved through baptism, then why, oh why, would Jesus have to have been crucified for us?? |
