661 | twenty-second prayer | 1 Cor 15:3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 188298 | ||
Greetings yosevuk! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! I'm not aware of anything in scripture referred to as the "twenty-second prayer". My guess is, the song was referring to a prayer of salvation. In what way I'm not sure, I don't know the song :-) Steve |

Greetings truthteller! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! You said “I know how very wrong this is and I want to minister to her in love.” Good! Be blunt (Romans 1:16) with her and present the gospel of Christ to her! You may find some valuable information on this web site about this subject (http://www.carm.org/wicca.htm). God bless, Steve |

663 | Death God's friend or enemy? | 1 Cor 15:25 | humbledbyhisgrace | 207461 | ||
Joe, Adam and Eve did not receive eternal life for their sin (Genesis 2:17, Genesis 3:13-24). The word clearly teaches us "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23 NASB). Salvation is a gift of God, it is by his grace through faith that we are saved, not our sins (Ephesians 2:4-8)! Steve |

664 | Death God's friend or enemy? | 1 Cor 15:25 | humbledbyhisgrace | 207488 | ||
Joe, Did you respond to me by mistake? I was pointing out to you what Scripture teaches us about sin and salvation in direct response to your statement "but she and Adam received everlasting life for their sin." Regardless of where one might believe Adam to be it does not change what is taught in scripture regarding sin and salvation so I'm a little confused on your response to me and thought perhaps you responded to the wrong post???

668 | why suffer in pain | 2 Cor 4:17 | humbledbyhisgrace | 191461 | ||
Greetings Sister! Great stuff! It is this heart that we should have for all those we see each day! Just like we once formally walked in sin, desperate for a Saviour and not even knowing it, so too are many we see in our daily life. We should see each one of them as they are, lost and hopeless without the Lord Jesus! Knowing what we know because of the gift we have been given, let us not rest while so many are in desperate need of a Saviour, our Lord and our God Jesus Christ! Steve |

669 | What happens when we die? | 2 Cor 5:8 | humbledbyhisgrace | 197633 | ||
Greetings KeKe! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! The information below is taken from my notes. Unfortunately, I failed to note (in my notes) where I got this from so I can't point you to the original author. Sorry about that! Also, you may want to do a search for "soul sleep" on this site. It has been discussed before and you may find some good discussion to help you with this. "The Bible uses different language in different places to describe what happens to us when we die. Often it refers to death as 'sleep' (e.g. Psalms 13:3; John 11:11-14; Acts 13:36; 1 Corinthians 11:30; 15:6,18,20,51; Ephesians 5:14; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-15; 5:10) -- this is the regular way Kings and Chronicles refer to the deaths of kings. In all these cases, 'sleep' is simply a euphemism for 'death.' It is not to be taken literally, as if it indicated 'soul sleep.' "John 11:11-14 provides a good example of 'sleep' as 'death' rather than as 'soul sleep.' When the disciples misunderstood Jesus' reference to Lazarus' death as 'sleep,' he corrected them not by saying that Lazarus soul was asleep, but rather by stating that Lazarus was dead. "One of the more confusing passages in this regard is 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, where Paul speaks of the dead in Christ as being asleep, and as rising only when Christ returns. This may at first give the impression that they are rising from sleep when Christ returns, and that prior to that they are not with him. However, 'rise' (from the Greek anistemi) is not the normal word the Bible uses to describe those who cease to sleep -- 'awake' is. 'Rise' generally refers to the simple act of standing up, but it also refers frequently to the general resurrection when our bodies will rise from the grave (Mark 9:9; 9:10; 12:25; Luke 16:31; 24:46; John 20:9; Acts 10:41; 13:43; 17:3,31). In these cases, the point is not that our souls wake up or rise, but that our bodies do. This being the background of the language of 'rising' (anistemi) in the church, the Thessalonian church would have understood 'rise' (anistemi) in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 to refer to the bodily resurrection, not to awaking from soul sleep. "There is no explicit teaching in Scripture that outlines any doctrine of 'soul sleep,' but it is an inference drawn from the metaphor/euphemism of death as 'sleep.' The Bible does explicitly teach, however, that our souls are immediately present with the Lord upon our deaths. For example, Jesus told the thief on the cross that the thief would be with him that day in paradise (Luke 23:43). Further, Paul explicitly taught that to be absent from the body was to be present with the Lord -- he mentioned no third alternative such as soul sleep (2 Corinthians 5:6-9). Moreover, we have actual examples of people who died but did not experience soul sleep: Moses and Elijah (Matthew 17:3; Mark 9:4; Luke 9:30-31); perhaps Samuel (1 Samuel 28:3-20); and of course Jesus himself (e.g. Luke 23:43). Some would add the debatable example of Abraham, Lazarus and the rich man in the parable of Luke 16:19-31. "When we die, it is fair to speak of us 'sleeping' insofar as we are no longer walking the earth, and insofar as our bodies are not active. In our sleep of death, however, we are conscious and active in the presence of Christ." --Ra McLaughlin Other thoughts: Rev. 6:9-11 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: [10] And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? [11] And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. God bless, Steve |

672 | Beware "Another" | 2 Cor 11:4 | humbledbyhisgrace | 156440 | ||
What did the Pope really say? Has anyone looked for themself? Is Doc's statment taken out of context? Or is this a hidden message from the Pope? You decide! Here is a portion of his statments. You will find in this portion what Doc is refering to. Then if you still don't get a clear picture. Try reading the complete Homily to get a clear picture of what this Pope has to say about the "true star". Here is a link to the complete Homily. http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/homilies/2005/documents/hf_ben-xvi_hom_20050821_20th-world-youth-day_en.html Portion of the Pope's Homily: Anyone who has discovered Christ must lead others to him. A great joy cannot be kept to oneself. It has to be passed on. In vast areas of the world today there is a strange forgetfulness of God. It seems as if everything would be just the same even without him. But at the same time there is a feeling of frustration, a sense of dissatisfaction with everyone and everything. People tend to exclaim: “This cannot be what life is about!†Indeed not. And so, together with forgetfulness of God there is a kind of new explosion of religion. I have no wish to discredit all the manifestations of this phenomenon. There may be sincere joy in the discovery. Yet if it is pushed too far, religion becomes almost a consumer product. People choose what they like, and some are even able to make a profit from it. But religion constructed on a “do-it-yourself†basis cannot ultimately help us. It may be comfortable, but at times of crisis we are left to ourselves. Help people to discover the true star which points out the way to us: Jesus Christ! Let us seek to know him better and better, so as to be able to guide others to him with conviction. This is why love for Sacred Scripture is so important, and in consequence, it is important to know the faith of the Church which opens up for us the meaning of Scripture. It is the Holy Spirit who guides the Church as her faith grows, causing her to enter ever more deeply into the truth (cf. Jn 16:13). |

My post is a little late responding to your question. I see several have already responded. Much of what I was thinking has already been said. Either way, I'll try and give my thoughts without repeating others that have responded. Well, I don't know much about this Pope and I have never followed any of his writings so I'm basing my opinion on his Homily and what I see in his written words. It appears throughout the Homily the Pope is pushing the importance of God, Son, Holy Spirit, God's Word, and urging the young people to get back in church. These are five things I believe in myself and think all Christians should spend much time pushing these things. In regards to your question "What do you think "the faith of the Church" is, and how does it open for us the meaning of Scripture?" Looking at the text, I can only assume he is referring to God, Son, and Holy Spirit when he talks about "faith". And as he goes on to say, "It is the Holy Spirit who guides the Church as her faith grows, causing her to enter ever more deeply into the truth ". For the sake of this discussion, what do you think he meant by "the faith of the Church" is, and how does it open for us the meaning of Scripture?" And, how do you think this relates to the original post about what the Pope said? |

Greetings jt! What passage of scripture are you referring to when you say... Christ "went back to being a spirit creature, when the need for a body came to an end". There are many passages of scripture that would strongly argue for a much different understanding. Here are a few passage of scripture that might help clarify... Read Matthew 28 1-15. Was Christ only raised spiritually? See Luke 24:3 also! Did He not eat after His resurrection? Acts 10:41 Did Thomas not place his fingers in Christ wounds suffered during His crucifixion? (See John 20:27) John 5:28-29 (NASB95) 5:28 "Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, 5:29 and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment. 1 Corinthians 15:13-14 (NASB95) 15:13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised; 15:14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. Read all of 1 Corinthians 15 The resurrection of the dead is not referring to only the spiritual man. Steve |

Hi again jt! See 1 Corinthians 15:42-44. What is it that is "sown in corruption" and "raised in incorruption" and "sown in dishonour" and "raised in power"? Our spirit does not die does it? Go back and read verses 35-37. We will be transformed to be like Him (Philippians 3:21) Steve |

jt, Are you a Jehovah Witnesses? They also contradict the biblical teaching of the resurrection of Christ. You do not seem to be willing to address the passages of scripture offered to you in this discussion for clarification. Why not? Here is something else for you to consider. John 2:19 (NASB95) Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." What is the temple He is speaking of? (See John 2:21). Surely you do not contend that mankind has the ability to destroy the spirit. So what temple is Christ speaking of and therefore, what was raised up in three days? Hope this helps! Steve |
