721 | He existed in the form of God, | John 17:5 | Radioman2 | 78897 | ||
Perhaps I missed something, but when I answered your Notes, they appeared to be stand-alone posts. That is, they were not connected to a thread. If they were connected to a thread, it would help me to see what it is you're getting at. This is not a criticism of you or your ideas. I am merely trying to understand. What is the primary question which you are trying to answer? Thank you in advance for your help and clarification. Good to see you participating in the forum. |

Yes, He did. | ||||||
723 | the son of man (talking aboutJESUS) | John 17:5 | Radioman2 | 78884 | ||
Hebrews 2:5-9 (ESV) Now it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. [6] It has been testified somewhere, "What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you care for him? [7] You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor, [8] putting everything in subjection under his feet." Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. [9] But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. |

727 | Is Saddam the anti-christ? | Revelation | Radioman2 | 78871 | ||
Welcome to the forum! Don't be deceived about the identity of the antichrist. Over time false prophets and sensationalists have been speculating as to who the antichrist will be. They have come up with everything from Hitler to Stalin to Prince Charles of England. No offense to you is intended, Orvee. But just because the Left Behind books seem to promote the doctrine of a pre-trib, pre-antichrist rapture, this does not mean the doctrine is true. On the other hand, it is absurd that someone on this forum (not you, sir) keeps making remarks about writers of fiction, remarks that imply that the Rapture, Great Tribulation, etc. are inventions of writers of fiction. To imply that these doctrines were unknown until the publication of the Left Behind series in the 1990s is absurd. It is totally ludicrous. |

728 | What is your point? | Rev 3:5 | Radioman2 | 78864 | ||
Thank you for the clarification. I did not actually think you believed that some Bible passages were not true. But I needed the clarification to be sure. What I do believe about you is that you have a high view of Scripture. It is clear from your other posts that you do believe in the inspiration and authority of the Bible -- all of it. Thank you. |

729 | Did Go call Himself, El Shaddai, first? | Gen 17:1 | Radioman2 | 78830 | ||
Actually, Searcher56 is in conflict with Genesis 4:26; 12:8; and 13:4. And actually Ryrie is in conflict with Searcher56. NASB Genesis 4:26 To Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of the LORD (Hebrew YHWH). NASB Genesis 12:8 Then he (Abram) proceeded from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the LORD and called upon the name of the LORD (Hebrew YHWH). NASB Genesis 13:4 "to the place of the altar which he had made there formerly; and there Abram called on the name of the LORD" (Hebrew YHWH). |

730 | Is God ONE or is God THREE? | James 2:19 | Radioman2 | 78798 | ||
If Jesus is God, then why did He not know the time of His return? In Matt. 24:35-36 (../kjv/Matt/matt_24.htm) Jesus said, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away. "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah." If Jesus is God in flesh, then shouldn't He know what the day and hour of his return would be? After all, God knows all things. Therefore, if Jesus doesn't know all things, then He cannot be God. This objection is most often raised by the Jehovah's Witnesses (../witnesses.htm) but is also echoed by the Christadelphians (../christadelphian.htm). It is a good question. Jesus was both God and man. He had two natures. He was divine and human at the same time. This teaching is known as the hypostatic union (../dictionary/dic_g-h.htm); that is, the coming-together of two natures in one person. In Heb. 2:9 (../kjv/Heb/Heb_2.htm) that Jesus was ". . . made for a little while lower than the angels . . ." Also in Phil. 2:5-8 (../kjv/Phil/phil_2.htm), it says that Jesus "emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men . . ." Col. 2:9 (../kjv/Col/col_2.htm) says, "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form." Jesus was both God and man at the same time. As a man, Jesus cooperated with the limitations of being a man. That is why we have verses like Luke 2:52 (../kjv/Luke/luke_2.htm) that says "Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." Therefore, at this point in his ministry he could say He did not know the day nor hour of His return. It is not a denial of His being God, but a confirmation of Him being man. Also, the logic that Jesus could not be God because He did not know all things works both ways. If we could find a scripture where Jesus does know all things, then that would prove that He was God, wouldn't it? He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus *said to him, "Tend My sheep" (John 21:17 (../kjv/John/john_21.htm) - NASB). Jesus did not correct Peter and say, "Hold on Peter, I do not know all things." He let Peter continue on with his statement that Jesus knew all things. Therefore, it must be true. But, if we have a verse that says that Jesus did not know all things and another that says he did know all things, then isn't that a contradiction? No. It is not. Before Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection He said the Father alone knew the day and hour of His return. It wasn't until after Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection that omniscience is attributed to Jesus. As I said before, Jesus was cooperating with the limitations of being a man and completed His ministry on this earth. He was then glorified in His resurrection. Yet, He was still a man (cf. Col. 2:9; 1 Tim. 2:5. After Jesus' resurrection, He was able to appear and disappear at will. This is not the normal ability of a man. But, it is, apparently, the normal ability of a resurrected and glorified man. Jesus was different after the resurrection. There had been a change. He was still a man and He knew all things. For further reading please see the two natures of Jesus. (../doctrine/2natures.htm) (www.carm.org/witnesses.htm) |

731 | One save always saved? | Rev 3:5 | Radioman2 | 78779 | ||
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life." NASB John 5:24 AMPLIFIED John 5:24 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the person whose ears are open to My words [who listens to My message] and believes and trusts in and clings to and relies on Him Who sent Me has (possesses now) eternal life. And he does not come into judgment [does not incur sentence of judgment, will not come under condemnation], but he has already passed over out of death into life. AMPLIFIED John 10:27-29 The sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice; and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never lose it or perish throughout the ages. [To all eternity they shall never by any means be destroyed.] And no one is able to snatch them out of My hand. My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater and mightier than all [else]; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father's hand. AMPLIFIED Romans 8:35 Who shall ever separate us from Christ's love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword? AMPLIFIED Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, AMPLIFIED Romans 8:39 Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. AMPLIFIED Philippians 1:6 And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you. AMPLIFIED 1 Peter 1:4-5 [Born anew] into an inheritance which is beyond the reach of change and decay [imperishable], unsullied and unfading, reserved in heaven for you, Who are being guarded (garrisoned) by God's power through [your] faith [till you fully inherit that final] salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time. |

732 | Why did Jesus say "never again?" | Matt 24:21 | Radioman2 | 78758 | ||
You write: "What covenant is God going to make with the Jews? He already made one with them and they blew it." - - - - - - - - - - "That Israel has not been forever set aside is the theme of this chapter (Romans 11). "(1) The salvation of Paul proves that there is still a remnant (Romans 11:1 ) "(2) The doctrine of the remnant proves it (Romans 11:2-6). "(3) The present national unbelief was foreseen (Romans 11:7-10). "(4) Israel's unbelief is the Gentile opportunity (Romans 11:11-25). "(5) Israel is judicially broken off from the good olive tree, Christ (Romans 11:17-22 ). "(6) They are to be grafted in again (Romans 11:23,24). "(7) The promised Deliverer will come out of Zion and the nation will be saved (Romans 11:25-29). That the Christian now inherits the distinctive Jewish promises is not taught in Scripture. The Christian is of the heavenly seed of Abraham (Genesis 15:5,6; Galatians 3:29) and partakes of the spiritual blessings of the Abrahamic Covenant." "But Israel as a nation always has it own place and is yet to have its greatest exaltation as the earthly people of God." (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/ScofieldReferenceNotes/) |

NASB Genesis 13:4 "to the place of the altar which he had made there formerly; and there Abram called on the name of the LORD" (Hebrew YHWH). EdB: Thank you for an excellent post. In addition, may I point out the following? 'God Almighty (Hebrew, El Shaddai), the strong or powerful God...The name Yahweh WAS KNOWN TO THE PATRIARCHS (Gen. 13:4), but its SIGNIFICANCE as the One who would redeem Israel from Egyptian bondage was not known until this time' (i.e. the time spoken of in Exodus 6).

735 | Does any body knows the 12 names of God | Bible general Archive 1 | Radioman2 | 78703 | ||
Nice try, trying to put words into God's mouth. Why does the New World Translation insert the word Jehovah in the New Testament when there are absolutely no Greek manuscripts that have it in there? Isn’t this playing with the text? |

You write: "Last but not lest, Acts 2:21; And everyone who calls on the name of JEHOVAH will be saved." As it is translated here, this statement is not true. It is false. It is a lie. In the Greek, Acts 2:21 does not say "Jevhovah." What is says is: NASB Acts 2:21 'AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD (Greek KURIOS, Strong's #2962) WILL BE SAVED.' |

'Let's take a look at one quote from the Watchtower. '"From time to time, there have arisen from among the ranks of Jehovah's people those, who, like the original Satan, have adopted an independent, faultfinding attitude...They say that it is sufficient to read the Bible exclusively, either alone or in small groups at home. But, strangely, through such ‘Bible reading,' they have reverted right back to the apostate doctrines that commentaries by Christendom's clergy were teaching 100 years ago..." (The Watchtower, August 15, 1981, p. 29). 'The Watchtower says that the Trinity, the deity of Christ, and the physical resurrection of Christ are all false doctrines. Yet, the Watchtower says that if you read the Bible by itself you will end up believing these doctrines. In other words, if you read the Bible by itself, then you will become a Trinitarian, believe that Jesus is God, and believe that Jesus rose from the dead physically. Why is that? Could it be because the Bible teaches these things? So I ask the Jehovah's Witnesses, what is it in the Bible that would lead someone to this conclusion? Again, what is in the Bible that reading it by itself would lead you to believe in the Trinity, the deity of Christ, and His physical resurrection? This quote from the Watchtower is proof that it is teaching contrary to the natural reading of the Bible and that it is controlling the beliefs of those who follow it.

738 | What is meant in Genesis 17, verse 1 - 7 | Gen 17:1 | Radioman2 | 78621 | ||
"Yahweh/Yah. YHWH, THE TETRAGRAMMATON BECAUSE OF ITS FOUR LETTERS, IS, STRICTLY SPEAKING, THE ONLY PROPER NAME FOR GOD. It is also the most frequent name, occurring in the Old Testament 6,828 times (almost 700 times in the Psalms alone). Yah is a shortened form that appears fifty times in the Old Testament, including forty-three occurrences in the Psalms, often in the admonition "hallelu-jah" (lit. praise Jah). English Bibles represent the name yhwh by the title "LORD" (written in capitals to distinguish it from "lord" [adonai]. The Septuagint rendered yhwh as kyrios (Lord). The line from yhwh to adonai to kyrios is significant for the Pauline statement: "And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord" (Php 2:11)" (Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology, http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/BakersEvangelicalDictionary/bed.cgi). |

739 | What is meant in Genesis 17, verse 1 - 7 | Gen 17:1 | Radioman2 | 78616 | ||
"We are told from the very beginning that people were making proclamation of the name of Yahweh (Gen 4:26; 12:8)." Then Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?" NASB Exodus 3:13 'There has been considerable debate about the name of Yahweh in the Pentateuch, primarily because of the source critical approach that tried to argue that the name Yahweh was not known in antiquity. The argument of this whole section nullifies that view. The idea that God's name was revealed only here raises the question of what he was called earlier. The word "God" is not a name. "El Shaddai" is used only a few times in Genesis. But Israel would not have had a nameless deity-especially since we are told from the very beginning that people were making proclamation of the name of Yahweh (Gen 4:26; 12:8). 'It is possible that they did not always need a name if they were convinced that only he existed and there was no other God. But probably what Moses was anticipating was the Israelites wanting to be sure that Moses came from their God, and that some sign could prove it. They would have known his name (Yahweh), and they would have known the ways that he had manifested himself. It would do no good for Moses to come with a new name for God, for that would be like introducing them to a new God. That would in no way authenticate his call to them, only confuse; after all, they would not be expecting a new name-they had been praying to their covenant God all along. They would want to be sure that their covenant God actually had sent Moses. 'To satisfy the Israelites Moses would have had to have been familiar with the name Yahweh-as they were-and know that he appeared to individuals. They would also want to know if Yahweh had sent Moses, how this was going to work in their deliverance, because they had been crying to him for deliverance. As it turned out, the Israelites had less problem with this than Moses anticipated-they were delighted when he came. It is likely that much of this concern was Moses' own need for assurance that this was indeed the God of the fathers and that the promised deliverance was now to take place. See the discussions of this passage in the commentaries on Exodus by Benno Jacob and Umberto Cassuto. ' (Study note at Exodus 3:13, The Net Bible, (www.netbible.com)) |
