641 | Will there be marriages in heaven? | Matt 22:30 | humbledbyhisgrace | 180206 | ||
Greetings minister summers! Praise God for your humbled spirit and your desire to share and learn God's word with others! This is truly a good place to do both. I've stuck around here myself because I have learned much from others on this forum. There are many here to learn from and it will become obvious to you who they are in a short period of time. You might also be surprised at the countries they live in. By that I mean it's fascinating to see how God has brought together many of His people from around the world to study His word together. I look forward to you sticking around and both of us learning from them and from each other. I would like to encourage you to continue to participate in this forum. Also, if you would take the time to add a little information about yourself in your "Personal Profile". You can access it by clicking on the link "Update User Info" found on the left side of the page under the Resources section. It's not required but it would be nice for all to know a bit about who they are talking to. You mentioned you are new at this so I would recommend that you view some of the other user profiles and get an idea of the type of information others provide. Too much detail might not be a good idea in a public place. By that I mean too much personal info like phone numbers, street address, credit card numbers, PIN numbers etc... ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Steve |

642 | list the four responses in verses 12-13 | 2 Tim 2:15 | humbledbyhisgrace | 180164 | ||
Greetings Anita! Welcome to the forum! I'm curious if you have read Romans 6:12-14 yourself. If so and your just struggling with it let us know. If not and your just seeking answers to a test or study questions, well... let us know that also. Here's a hint. See what you can do with this. Verse 12 contains one of them and verse 13 contains the other three. What would you say they are? God bless, Steve |

643 | Will there be marriages in heaven? | Matt 22:30 | humbledbyhisgrace | 180153 | ||
Greetings once again minister summers! First let me say I apologize for my post. After reading it again I wish I would have read through it more carefully before posting. It comes across a bit mean spirited and that was not my intent. Please forgive me if I offended you. I can appreciate what you say as your "main point" but your original post does not reflect what you say your main point is nor does it line up with what the scripture says. Consider the scriptures once again in context. Is not the answer Jesus gave the Sadducees in verse 30 a direct answer to their questions from verses 24-28? I know the main point of this passage of scripture is not the marriage thing but rather the resurrection. However, not only does He silences them on the resurrection issue, He addressed the marriage issue, as well. It was important enough to God to include it in His word so it must remain important to us to teach it correctly. Would you agree? God bless, Steve |

Greetings minister summers! Based on your statement I would say your version of the "truth" appears to conflict with scripture and fall more in line with the Sadducees. My intent is not to offend but as you have offered your version of the truth which in my opinion clearly contradicts scripture, can you help us understand your version of the "true answer"? Take into account verses 24-28 and tell us who's wife would she be? God bless, Steve |

646 | Passages about beleiving in God | Bible general Archive 3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 179671 | ||
Hello Denny, Could you clear a few things up please? Part of your post you say "The central theme is faith - not one faith, just faith in general" What do you mean by faith in general? Latter on you go on to say " I'd like to start her off listening to a passage that conveys my main theme (in a Christian context)" I'm curious if you are attempting to compare the Christian's faith in God to anyone's faith in something else. What say you? When you say "I'm looking for a passage saying that one must believe in God before one can expect anything from Him" can you explain what you mean by "expect anything from Him"? Thanks! God bless, Steve |

647 | Paul, the Answers Are? | Luke 5:8 | humbledbyhisgrace | 179551 | ||
Paul, You said: "Jesus told Judas 'that thou doest, do quickly.' (John 13:27) When confronting Jesus before the throne of judgement could Judas reply, 'I did what you told me to do'?" Are we now going to blame God for our sins? Matthew 26:24 (NASB95) "The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born." I wonder Paul, how many of us will actually be able to say those words to our Lord, "I did what you told me to"??? To His Glory, Steve |

648 | soaking ,,,in praise and worship | Bible general Archive 3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 179425 | ||
Greetings! Taken from the soaking.com web site "WHAT IS SOAKING? " "To "soak" in God's presence is to rest in His love rather than to "strive" in prayer. As the person who is soaking connects with the Holy Spirit (receiving a touch from God begins to connect you with the reality of the Holy Spirit's presence), they often respond by falling or simply lying on the floor. As they rest expectantly waiting in God's presence, the Holy Spirit hovers over them to reveal more of God's love. God will also use these times to renew and repair areas of a person's life." "As the believer soaks God takes control and begins to draw their attention to His word either in the bible or through internal audible impressions or pictures they see in their mind's eye." Based on this information I would say your not going to find scripture to back up the practice. You say you have been taught this, have you ask those that have taught you this for scripture reference. It would be interesting to see the scriptures they use to base this practice on. Here are the scriptures that the soaking.com web site use as reference to say soaking is biblical. Psalm 23:1-3 Psalm 131:2 Psalm 4:4 Psalm 37:7 Matthew 11:28-30 Hebrews 4:9-11 Isaiah 40:29-31 Psalm 27:14 Proverbs 1:33 Luke 10:39 Hosea 2:14 I'm only giving you my opinion here but I would say based on what they offer, well...... NO! scripture does not teach this! If you want to experience God, read His word, Pray to Him, Worship Him, Follow His commandments (Found in His word), find your place in a God fearing Bible teaching church and engage by using the gifts He has given you. God bless, Steve |

649 | The sin offering - why a female lamb? | Lev 4:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 179236 | ||
Greetings Apollos! Here is a portion of Ray Steadman's take on it. You can view more information on his sermon here http://www.pbc.org/library/files/html/0505.html "The first distinctive of the sin offering is that it provided for both public and private sin. There were offerings available for those who had sinned as a group, and those who had sinned as individuals. You find this clearly delineated in this chapter. When it was offered for the sin of a group, or a public individual representing a group, then the offering always had to be a male. When it was an individual sin, the animal was a female. Verses 1-3:" And the LORD said to Moses, "Say to the people of Israel, if any one sins unwittingly in any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and he does any one of them, if it is the anointed priest who sins, thus bringing guilt on the people, then let him offer for the sin which he has committed a young bull without blemish to the LORD for a sin offering." (Lev 4:1-3 RSV) "And, again, in Verses 13-14:" "If the whole congregation of Israel commits a sin unwittingly and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they do any one of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done and are guilty; when the sin which they have committed becomes known, the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting;" (Lev 4:13-14 RSV) "In the case of a ruler or king, the requirement is given in Verses 22-23: " "When a ruler sins, doing unwittingly any one of all the things which the LORD his God has commanded not to be done, and is guilty, if the sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish," (Lev 4:22-23 RSV) "But then when the common people sinned as individuals, Verses 27-28:" "If any one of the common people sins unwittingly in doing any one of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and is guilty, when the sin which he has committed is made known to him he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has committed." (Lev 4:27-28 RSV) "In Verse 32 another provision is made:" "If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish," (Lev 4:32 RSV) "So once again the distinction is made between the male, as the symbol of the ruler or the dominant one -- i.e., man in his right to have dominion over all things, as always symbolized by any functionary, any government official (a priest, a ruler, a king, etc.), or the whole group together -- and the female, as the symbol of the common person, the individual acting on his own, who is therefore in a relationship of support, of undergirding or following." God bless, Steve |

650 | Is there any scripture regarding whether | Gen 3:15 | humbledbyhisgrace | 179136 | ||
Greetings Edwin! I have no problem comprehending what you say. I just disagree with it! “Let me try once more to make my position clear. At Matthew 26:53, Jesus said "Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father" (ESV), please tell me Steve would I be right in interpreting this as "I can appeal to my Father", I am able to do it, it is not impossible for me to do this , however, although I can, I will not, as if I did, how would Scripture be fullfiled?, (verse 54). Please, Please tell me Steve, have I completely misunderstood what Jesus was saying, and if so how then should I have understood it?” No, I would not agree with your interpretation. Where you and I differ is where you insert “however, although I can, I will not”. This to me is a stretch and misses the point of why He said what He said. “If Jesus were to have done what He clearly said He could do, and thereby have prevented Scripture from being fullfiled, would He have sinned?, Yes, or No.” If Jesus had done as you say, what He said, do you think the following verse would say what it says? It’s obvious we see this differently. But trust me, it’s not because I don’t understand what you are saying. As I said, I just disagree with it. Right or wrong in interpretation, I will always try and submit to His Holiness and with His grace do my best not to make God into our image just because I cannot grasp His word or His ways. To me, it is foolishness of us to apply the wisdom of man which seems to, if not always make God into our own image. You find strength in that you say the Lord Jesus could have sinned but didn't. So be it! I on the other hand find strength that The Lord God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) is Holy and sin never has been, is not, and never will be a threat to corrupting His Holiness. God bless you Edwin! Steve |

Greetings Edwin! You said “Your problem as I see it is one that is all too common with a lot of christians, that is an inability to reconcile the Diety of our Lord Jesus, with His true humanity.” Interesting comment. This is basically what I was thinking about you ;-) I don’t mean to sound arrogant here but looking at your statement and then the scripture references and follow on questions it appears to me you fail to understand what you accuse me of not understanding. Regardless, I want to be sure and take the right approach to this discussion. It appears the discussion has been restricted from public view which I guess is a good indication we are on thin ice ??? Moving on cautiously, looking back at your scriptures and questions, can you think of any scripture where God calls Jesus God? Just had to through that one in :-) Back to the subject, two natures, fully God and fully man, united in one person! God cannot sin, Mankind can sin, Jesus has both divine and human nature united in one person, if Jesus is God and we both agree with that as the scriptures clearly teach it, then in my opinion the human nature of Jesus could not have sinned because it would have involved the person of Jesus which as we have both agreed with scripture clearly teaches both divine and human nature in the one person of Jesus. God bless, Steve |

Greetings Brother! You said "If He said He could do this, which He did in fact say, but it was impossible for Him to do so, then you are calling Him a lier, and as I have said in my post to "NewPilgrim" on this topic, (which post I suggest you read), "my Jesus is not a lier"." Let's please be careful with our accusations. Accusing me of calling our Lord a liar is unacceptable. I'll leave it at that and let you address your own motivation for such an accusation against a brother. If my original post instigated such anger in you I apologize and ask you to forgive me. That was not my intent! You ask "What is the point of His saying this, if as you maintain He was incapable of doing it?, it just does not make sense." I humbly admit I probably don't make good sense most of the time. Let me try and explain. Matthew 26:51-54 (NASB95) 51 And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear. 52 Then Jesus said* to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword. 53 "Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels? 54 "How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?" I don't for a second think I can speak for Jesus but in MY OPINION and with confidence I might add, the point of him saying this was not to prove he could sin which you teach! Based on the scriptures, I would say his point is clear in the above passage paying close attention to verse 54. Is he not teaching that what was taking place and would take place was the will of God. Notice in verse 54 it says, "it must happen this way". Is it possible to find conflict in the triune God? Let's look back at exactly what I said. My version not yours :-) I said "I think we can agree that He had the ability to call on the Father, but how does this prove He could have been disobedient to the Father?" You pointed to the scripture as evidence that Jesus could sin. In my opinion this is a worldly view placing Christ on the same level as man, completely over looking the fact He is God and well teaching that God himself could sin. You attribute the nature of mankind (sinful) to Jesus. To this again I ask, How can it be? As the son of God I believe he could do anything but sin! It goes against the nature of God to sin so how is it possible that He could have sinned? If the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one God, how is it possible that any of the three persons in the triune God could sin? You ask "Please tell me what Coll 2:9 has to do with this? "in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily", so what, how does this relate to what Jesus said at Matthew 26:53?." It was a reminder to you who this Jesus was who you attributed the ability to sin. God bless, Steve |

Greetings Brother! If he would have done so? Surly we cannot pass this off as proof of such a teaching! I think we can agree that He had the ability to call on the Father, but how does this prove He could have been disobedient to the Father? Is the "If" not assumption on your part? How can it be? Colossians 2:9 (NASB95) For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form |

Greetings NewPilgrim! The question was, "Is there any scripture regarding whether Jesus could sin?" You have offered much opinion but no scripture. This is dangerous when our opinion contradicts scripture. Keep in mind we don't want to mislead anyone. You said "It was entirely possible for Jesus to have sinned, elsewise the overcoming of temptation would be nonsense and his sacrifice would be an eternal joke, being little more than a token gesture." This is a bold statement. Is it wise to teach others so boldly with our own opinions with out being able to back it up with scripture? Are you talking about Jesus overcoming temptation or us? Either way, can you provide scripture proof of your teaching? You said "For Jesus to be fit to judge, the scripture teaches us, he lived as a man, with the temptations of man." Actually, scripture teaches us that Jesus is fit to judge us because God the Father has given Him this right! John 5:22-23 22 For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son, 23 so that all will honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. You said "If Jesus didnt have the potential to sin then temptation would not be temptation at all." Please, give us one scripture that teaches such a thing! James 1:13-15 (NASB95) 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. 15 Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. Can you show me in the scriptures above where it says anything about Jesus must have the potential to sin before we are tempted. Does it not teach we are tempted when we give into our "OWN" lust. Can you show any scripture that teaches such a teaching. In Christ, Steve |

I hear ya! But keep in mind, there is nothing wrong with telling them you don't know. It still doesn't mean they are right and it certinaly doesn't mean our faith is not based on the truth. Don't forget to smile at them ;-) Knowing in all their selfrighteousness they are actually the ones that are wrong :-) and if it pleases the Lord God to open their eyes He will! Oh yea, and don't forget to pray for them! God bless, Steve |

Greetings Murrai! Actually, It was Tim and Mark who responded with some great answers. All of it good but the point Tim makes regarding the inspired New Testament is something Christians need to keep in mind. In every attempt by a none believer to discredit the Word of God that I have seen, always falls short in light of the scriptures. This case is a good example of how one would have to disregard other scriptures in order for their argument to stand. Of course I'm convinced no argument will ever stand if it contradicts the Word of God :-) Let me take this time to invite you to continue to spend some time in this forum. I don't count myself in the mix but there are many others here that you can learn a lot from. You will find it is a good place to study and discuss the Word of God. God bless you in your study! Steve |

Greetings Brother Tim! " However, we know from the New Testament that there was an even greater fulfillment where a virgin would conceive without knowing a mn. Which, brings us to the final issue. The doctrine of the Virgin Birth does not stand or fall upon how one translates the term in Is. 7:14. Why? Because, the inspired New Testament specifically tells us that Mary was a virgin." Amen and Amen! Excellent point! God Bless, Steve |

Greetings once again Sister! Okay, we are moving on. I just hope you did not or do not misunderstand me. I would like to address something found in your post if I may. You say in your post "But I would appreciate if you read my other responses and you will get a better understanding. In all your getting get an understanding. In James 1:5 it says those that lack wisdom let them ask of God he will give it freely. I haven't had anyone else misunderstand me and if there is something that I wrote that wasn't understandable I am available to give a more inept discussion until there is an understanding." I noticed in some of your other post you use this same teaching regarding this scripture. Let me ask you this, is James 1:5 teaching one to ask God for wisdom that we may understand others or does this teach us to ask God for wisdom that we may understand Him and His ways? Is it not that we are to ask for wisdom that we may understand and know what it is He is teaching us through the trials we face? Consider the context of the verse. James 1:1-5 (KJV) 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. As you have taught it, is it accurate? If you believe so, will you explain please? Thank you and God Bless, Steve |

660 | Sin vs Love | Bible general Archive 3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 178641 | ||
Greetings NightJay! I believe your heart is in the right place dear brother, but I would encourage you to point to scripture so others might see what the word of God has to say about them. For starters, take a look at these scriptures. Sin actually started with Lucifer( Isaiah 14:12-15). God is Love (1 John 4:7-21) It's best if we use the word of God and not our own opinions. We need to be careful so that we not mislead anyone. God Bless, Steve |
