6621 | Both spirit and Spirit present within us | Rev 2:28 | Morant61 | 82234 | ||
Greetings Ray! No, I see a prophecy of the future infilling of the Holy Spirit. But, even if v. 26 refers to man's spirit, that still doesn't indicate that there is a holy spirit and a Holy Spirit. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6622 | Both spirit and Spirit present within us | Rev 2:28 | Morant61 | 82251 | ||
Greetings Ray! The reason I said that about v. 26 is simply that there are no descriptive terms, other than 'new', used to describe that 'spirit'. So, it could simply be referring to a new heart and new attitude (of man). Or, it could be referring to the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. In which case, I would not use lower case. Concerning Rom. 1:4, I would say 'Spirit of Holiness', since He was raised by this Spirit. Have a great day my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6623 | Both spirit and Spirit present within us | Rev 2:28 | Morant61 | 151680 | ||
Greetings Ray! I can't find any manuscript evidence for not including 'Jesus Christ our Lord', so I would definitely include it. As for v. 5, I always translate 'hos' as 'who' or 'whom'. So, I would could with 'through Whom' as my translation. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6624 | Both spirit and Spirit present within us | Rev 2:28 | Morant61 | 151685 | ||
Greetings Ray! 'Hos' is masculine, so it cannot be a reference to the Spirit of Holiness, since 'Spirit' is neuter. Even if 'Jesus Christ our Lord' were not in the text, 'Son' (in v. 3) could be the antecedent of 'hos'. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6625 | Both spirit and Spirit present within us | Rev 2:28 | Morant61 | 151805 | ||
Greetings Ray! "Gospel" could not be the antecedent since it is neuter as well. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6626 | Both spirit and Spirit present within us | Rev 2:28 | Morant61 | 152916 | ||
Greetings Ray! I doubt that anyone could ever say 'all' that there is to say about any passage of Scripture! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6627 | Book of Life "will never be altered." | Rev 3:5 | Morant61 | 67959 | ||
Greetings CDBJ! You made a very interesting point about Rev. 13:8. I hadn't noticed that before. I found out that either translation is grammatically possible, but I would cast my vote with your first selection and say that 'from the foundation' refers to the death of Christ. Here is why: First of all, the clause literally reads as follows: "He who not has been written the name of him in the book of the life of the Lamb who has been slain from foundation of world." While the phrase 'from foundation of world' could grammatically be associated with 'has been written', it is closer to another verbal idea - 'who has been slain'. Wait, can I change my mind? The phrase may go better with 'has been written'. Here's why! 1) Rev. 17:8 uses the phrase 'written from the foundation of the world'. If it had not been for Rev. 17:8, I would have said that the phrase 'from the foundation of the world' refered to Christ's death. After all, it is used in this sense in 1 Peter 1:20. However, the phrase is also used of believers in Eph. 1:4. And, Rev. 17:8 definitely indicates that the names are written or not from the foundation of the world. Whether or not they can be removed is a different question! :-) But, I'm not going to go there! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6628 | Blotted Out If We Reject Him | Rev 3:5 | Morant61 | 171548 | ||
Greetings Jeff! What is the point of God promising something that can't happen anyway? ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6629 | Blotted Out If We Reject Him | Rev 3:5 | Morant61 | 171566 | ||
Greetings Jeff! Let me see if I can clarify my question. :-) I used to write computer programs in my younger days. We would often use conditional statements to determine the action of a program. The statements could be written in a variety of ways, but one of them was the 'if then' statement. An example would be: "If someone presses 'A', then print 'A'" These statments could get quite complicated, but they followed a logical pattern. The promise in Rev. 3:5 is a conditional statement. Those who overcome receive the following: They will be clad in white garments, they will not be blotted out of the book of life, and Christ will confess their name before the Father. Logically, those who do not overcome will: Not be clothed in white, will be blotted out of the book of life, and will not have their names confessed before the Father. So, my question was this: Since Rev. 3:5 is a conditional promise, why would Christ promise that He would not do something for he who overcomes which He would not do anyway? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6630 | Blotted Out If We Reject Him | Rev 3:5 | Morant61 | 171567 | ||
Greetings Kalos! Heb. 13:5b is certainly encouraging, but there is a key difference between it and Rev. 3:5. Rev. 3:5 is set up as a conditional promise for those who overcome, while Heb. 13:5b is a general statement. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6631 | Blotted Out If We Reject Him | Rev 3:5 | Morant61 | 171583 | ||
Greetings Jeff! No problem my friend! I'm a big boy! ;-) Concerning Heb. 13:5b, where is the condition? This is what I meant by saying it was a general statement. It doesn't say, 'If you overcome, I will never leave you". :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6632 | Blotted Out If We Reject Him | Rev 3:5 | Morant61 | 171584 | ||
Greetings Jeff! I don't want to drag this topic out, so allow me to finish with this point. There are a lot of assumptions about this topic on both sides of the issue. I assume that a promise NOT blot out a name indicates that a name can in fact be blotted out. There are scriptural references in the OT to names being blotted out. Others asssume that a name cannot be blotted out, even though there is no Scripture that actually says this. I've got to get to bed now my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6633 | Where does Scripture say Jesus created? | Rev 3:14 | Morant61 | 95955 | ||
Greetings Truthfinder! You wrote: "After creating his only-begotten Son, Jehovah used him in bringing the heavenly angels into existence." Where exactly does Scripture say that Jesus was created? I know that you believe the term 'first-born' means 'first created', but where does Scripture clearly say that Jesus was created? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6634 | Are Footnotes Biblical Evidence? :-) | Rev 3:14 | Morant61 | 96074 | ||
Greetings Truthfinder! You're joking! Right? Your Biblical evidence that Jesus was created is a footnote found in a Bible translation!!! You'll have to do better than that my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6635 | Are Footnotes Biblical Evidence? :-) | Rev 3:14 | Morant61 | 96081 | ||
Greetings Truthfinder! Before we go down a different rabbit trail, I am still confused about your original response to my question. I asked where does the Bible say that Jesus is created! You responded with a footnote from a translation. What was the point? And, the original question still stands: Where does the Bible say that Jesus is created? Of course, I already know the answer to this one! :-) It does not ever say that He was created. But, it does say that He created all things. Now, as far as the NASV is concerned, I would have to say that it does not influence me in the least, since I never use it! ;-) When I was younger, I used the KJV. As I got a little older, I started using the NIV. I will very occasionally compare a verse in other translation, but not very often. For the most part, I go directly to the Greek for my serious study. Now, for the OT, I don't remember as much of the Hebrew, so I can't really read directly from it. I do remember enough to consult those who do know Hebrew though. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6637 | sound of a trumpet...'come up here' | Rev 4:1 | Morant61 | 13856 | ||
Greetings FatherChuck! I was wondering if anyone would bring up these verses. When I first asked this question, I wasn't try to trick anyone. I just wanted to see what range of thought there was about this issue. Personally, I believe that Rev. 14:14-20 is the best choice for the Rapture in Rev. I base this on several points. 1) I believe in the pre-Wrath or Mid-Trib view of the Rapture. The first 3 1/2 years being a the time of Jacob's Trouble and the last 3 1/2 years being a time of God's Wrath. 2) Rev. 14:14-20 takes place immediately following the sounding of the last of the Seven trumpets in Rev. 10:7. The events described in Rev. 10-13 all take place at the sounding of the trumpet, with the exception of Rev. 12, which appears to be an historical insert. 3) The description of Rev. 14:14-20 fits the description of the Rapture. The "good" are harvested, and the "bad" are thrown into God's winepress of wrath. Whichever view we take, it is wonderful to know that our God is going to take us home one day. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6638 | What are the seven Spirits of God? | Rev 4:5 | Morant61 | 7303 | ||
Greetings Gloria! Steve gave an excellent answer to your question. I would like to add another observation though. There is no way to be dogmatic about this phrase, but some feel that it is a reference to the Holy Spirit. The Greek of Rev. 4:5 literally says, "the seven spirits of God." Some think that the number seven may be a reference to Is. 11:2-3, which lists seven qualities of the Spirit: "The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD— 3 and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears;" I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

6639 | Crowns we cast at Jesus feet real or not | Rev 4:10 | Morant61 | 224158 | ||
Greetings Beja! Good point! :-) Another thought that I have had over the years is that many of the crowns are different ways of describing the same thing - salvation. As I have looked at these passages, I can really only see two distinct crowns, the Crown of life and the Martyr's crown. Personally, I believe that all of the 'other' crowns are just different ways of saying crown of life. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Doc! How would your 'leaning' toward 'Creationism' affect your view of depravity? If God creates a new soul for each fetus, does He create it 'depraved'? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
