82 | Where did the Holy Spirit go? | 2 Cor 5:21 | Asis | 83206 | ||
Here is the rest. James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. [KJV] Acts 2:24 through Acts 2:32 (DNT) . . .31he, seeing [it] before, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither has he been left in hades nor his flesh seen corruption. 32This Jesus has God raised up, whereof all we are witnesses. Jesus was born of the Spirit and man. He was the only man living who had His spirit born again. He also was the only man whose soul (His mind will and emotions) was in subjection to His spirit. He was a man filled with the Spirit and so able to perform the works of the Father. He was sinless because His body was in subjection to His soul which was in subjection to His spirit which was in subjection to the Holy spirit. This is the postion God wants us to be in. He wants us to follow or be led of our spirit which is led by His spirit. Jesus is the picture of the Kingdom Man, something we cannot attain in entirety until we are free of our bodies influence. What does this have to do with what happened when Jesus died? This: Jesus gave His life his body for us. He gave up the spirit and died. The same death that we will die if Jesus’ return is after our bodies wear out. James 2:26 says, “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. [KJV]” Jesus hung on the cross as a natural man our substitute. He died as we die. His inner man was separated from His outer man. His outer man was placed in the tomb and His inner man went to Hades… Hell. Alfred Barnes says of the word hell, “In hell—. The word “hell,” in English, now commonly denotes “the place of the future eternal punishment of the wicked.” This sense it has acquired by long usage. It is a Saxon word, derived from helan, “to cover,” and denotes literally “a covered or deep place” (Webster); then “the dark and dismal abode of departed spirits”; and then “the place of torment.” As the word is used now by us, it by no means expresses the force of the original; and if with this idea we read a passage like the one before us, it would convey an erroneous meaning altogether, although formerly the English word perhaps expressed no more than the original. The Greek word “Hades” means literally “a place devoid of light; a dark, obscure abode”; and in Greek writers was applied to the dark and obscure regions where disembodied spirits were supposed to dwell. It occurs only eleven times in the New Testament. In this place it is the translation of the Hebrew. “I have the keys of hell and death.” In 1 Cor. 15:55 it means the grave: “O grave (Hades), where is thy victory?” In Matt. 11:23 it means a deep, profound place, opposed to an exalted one; a condition of calamity and degradation, opposed to former great prosperity: “Thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell” (Hades). In Luke 16:23 it is applied to the place where the rich man was after death, in a state of punishment: “In hell (Hades) he lifted up his eyes, being in torments.” In this place it is connected with the idea of suffering, and undoubtedly denotes a place of punishment. The Septuagint has used this word commonly to translate the word.” (Think like a Hebrew when trying to understand thinks spoken by Hebrews) We have established which part of Jesus went to the grave and where His soul and spirit went. All this is very interesting, but the question was “Where was the Holy Spirit during all this?” It is obvious that Holy Spirit was in the bleachers supporting the work of Jesus. Goooooo Jesus! Jesus preached the good news, Holy Spirit yelled 'PREACH IT'. Jesus led the captives captive, Holy Spirit yelle Amen, Jesus then defeated death so we no longer have to be concerned about the second death. And all of Heaven erupted in PRAISE. All the while God’s Spirit was encouraging Jesus and propbably doing the wave while satan and death cringed and groveled on the ground. The when the devil was made powerless, Christ was united with His body, His resurrected body, the one that is flesh and bone. The One whose life (force[used so you know what I’m talking about]) is the Holy Spirit (this will get a response). We who live in the earth now are flesh and blood. Our blood brings life to the members of our body. Ressurrected Jesus said He was flesh and bone. Only the Spirit of God could be giving life to His members. (Doesn’t He do that now with believers?). So the question of Where did the Holy Spirit Go is answered. Now we know the truth and are finally free. If this has offended anyone, I ask your forgiveness it is not my intent to offend. It is just the way I is. You'll just have to accept me Asis |

84 | Jews saved without Christ? | John 14:6 | Asis | 82910 | ||
No Jesus is the only way. They were chosen to be the lineage that the Messiah would come from. They were to be God's representatives on earth. But it is impossible to be God's representative through your own power. We needed Jesus. | ||||||
85 | Why is (was) it good to be a Jew? | Eph 2:12 | Asis | 82903 | ||
Dan58 How ya doin Paul is talking to gentiles (those who do not believe in Jehovah) in this verse. Of course since he is writing them they now believe in Jehovah but they didn't before they met Paul. Confused? Let me put it this way. God sent His Son to redeem (pay the price) for the world. To the Jew first then to the non Jew (this you know). Paul is talking to non Jews who have embraced Jesus, the Messiah, and Jehovah, His Father. Barnes makes this clear in the begining of his commentary on Eph. 2:12. Title: Barnes’ Notes on the New Testament Author: Barnes, Albert "Ye were without Christ—You were without the knowledge of the Messiah. You had not heard of him; of course you had not embraced him. You were living without any of the hopes and consolations which you now have, from having embraced him. The object of the apostle is to remind them of the deplorable condition in which they were by nature; and nothing would better express it than to say they were “without Christ,” or that they had no knowledge of a Saviour. They knew of no atonement for sin. They had no assurance of pardon. They had no well-founded hope of eternal life. They were in a state of darkness and condemnation, from which nothing but a knowledge of Christ could deliver them." Remember "Christ" is Greek for the Hebrew "Messiah". Jesus was born a Jew. I count it of great worth (things look a bit different to me than they do to you) to be a member of those whose lineage Jesus came from, a direct decendent of Abraham. Is there something special about being a Jew? Not in the eyes of God. There is neither Jew nor gentile . . .Holy Bible, New Living Translation Gal. 3:28 (NLT) 28There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male or female. For you are all Christians—you are one in Christ Jesus. Yet it through the Jew that the scriptures were given to us. Holy Bible, New Living Translation Rom. 3:1 through Rom. 3:2 (NLT) 1Then what’s the advantage of being a Jew? Is there any value in the Jewish ceremony of circumcision? 2Yes, being a Jew has many advantages. First of all, the Jews were entrusted with the whole revelation of God. The Jew who is one inwardly is one who believes in the Messiah. Because He believes God. Holy Bible, New Living Translation Rom. 2:28 through Rom. 2:29 (NLT) 28For you are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the Jewish ceremony of circumcision. 29No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true circumcision is not a cutting of the body but a change of heart produced by God’s Spirit. Whoever has that kind of change seeks praise from God, not from people. In the days if the first church all the believers in the Way were Jewish. God is bringing His people, all the people, back to Him through His Son, Jesus. That is what is really important. We are all the same Jew, non-Jew, Greek, Barbarian, male, female, slave, free everybody the same to God. We should look at each other the same way God looks at us. The same. His sons and daughters all of us. |

If you believe you already have Him dwelling in you. He is the One who dwells in your heart when you ask Jesus to come in. You have become the sanctuary, temple of the Holy spirit. the Bible says: Holy Bible, New Living Translation 1 Cor. 6:19 through 1 Cor. 6:20 (NLT) 19Or don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 20for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. So young one YOU GOT HIM. He dwells in YOU. PRAISE GOD. |

88 | Am I in danger of hell fire? | Matt 25:46 | Asis | 82395 | ||
If you believe in your heart and have confessed with your mouth that Jesus is your Lord and that God raised Him from the grave, you are saved (Romans 10:9). If He is the Lord of your heart you will have compassion for the poor, the prisoners, those who are without. If you act on this compassion it will be as if you are doing it for Jesus. If in your heart you truly do not want to hear Him say Matt. 7:21 through Matt. 7:23 (NIV) 21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I NEVER KNEW YOU. AWAY FROM ME, YOU EVILDOERS!’(CAPS are mine for emphisis) We must establish a relationship with Jesus. A personal relationship. Talk to Him. Read about Him. And most of all do what He says to our heart. If our citizenship is in heaven that is where we must go when we are no longer citizens of the earth. Phil. 3:20 through Phil. 3:21 (NIV) 20But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. Colossians 1:4-6 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints—the faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth, the gospel that has come to you. How can we receive it if we do not go there to get it. He will one day return and all that is in heaven for us who are here on that day will receive what He has promised. This is our hope. The fact that you are concerned shows your heart is right towards our Savior. Go after Him, talk to Him, Love Him with all your heart and He will give you peace. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6). |

89 | What benefit does Paul afford the Jews? | Rom 3:1 | Asis | 82280 | ||
The Jew brought forth the word of God. Everything we call the Bible came from the Jew. Yeah yeah Luke was a Greek but he wrote down what he knew from the Jews. Yes some of Acts was personal expirience but the rest came from those who were Jews. Paul, Peter, James, Jude, Barnabas, John, Mark, all were Jews. And we have become Jews. For it is not a circumcision outwardly (physically) that makes one a Jew but it is one whose heart is circumcised who is a Jew. Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. If this is true then it is a great benefit to be a Jew. Welcome to the family u all. |

90 | Are all interpretations equal? | Rom 3:4 | Asis | 81705 | ||
Every man including you and I place a slant or bias on everything we say or write. There is only one absolute truth. We may try to explain what the Holy Spirit has revealed to us but as soon as we add commentary we introduce bias. I believe that the mark of a good teacher a teacher who is a gift from Christ does not add commentary, but teaches what God has revealed to Him. They do not teach what they have "figured" out. Their rule is Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. They live Romans 3:4. in fact we are not to be thinkers of the word but rather doers of the word. Our lives are to become the word. We are to be the word made flesh. not the commentary, not the website made flesh. We are to do what Jesus, God has said in His word. opr else we may hear Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. or Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? I want to hear Matthew 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. |

91 | Definition of Spirit | 2 Tim 1:7 | Asis | 81537 | ||
The greek word pnuema is translated as spirit in this verse. It's meaning is "CHARACTER (in this case), as being in itself invisible, and manifested only in one's actions, etc. Romans 8:15. (2 Timothy 1:7, etc.)" per E.W. Bullinger, The Companion Bible www.therain.org/appendixes/app101.html. By placing the word character in place of spirit we get "God has not given us a character of timidity but of power and love and discipline. Now that the gobbledigook is done consider this. Timothy was Paul's protege'. He was young (age) in comparison to those he was being sent to disciple in the faith. He was concerned and even a bit trepidacious about going to the churches Paul sent him to correct and guide. Paul is telling him that God has given us a charcter of fear but a character of power, love and discipline because of the character God has given us he will get through all that is coming. Remember Paul is in prison and Timothy and others are going to carry on the work. Paul is ecouraging Timothy to be strong stand firm. For you second question if the fear is a contolling fear that prevents you from being the way God wants you to be. Then that "spirit" is not from God. You can take authority over it, rebuke it, refuse to listen to it and tell it to go away. God has given you a character of power and ,love and discipline not fear. Tell it to leave you alone in the name of Jesus. |

93 | Ideas Urgent | NT general Archive 1 | Asis | 81195 | ||
Look about you. Look at the night sky. Look at the intricacies of your own body. When we look at the world and see the miracles of life. The animals, fish, insects, and us this cannot be the result of an accident. It is easy to believe what you can see. But God is not interested in us believing in what we can see. God wants us to walk by faith. He tells us faith is the only thing that pleases Him. To believe in what we can see does not require faith. John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. Why because we believe by faith. We walk by faith. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Here is a analogy to ponder. I live in brighton Mi, 16 miles from Ann Arbor, MI. From my room Ann Arbor is invisible to me because I can not see it. But it is there all the same. God is here I just cannot see Him. Think about it. |

95 | Emmaus, Are hope and charity gifts? | 1 Cor 12:31 | Asis | 79846 | ||
Hope is the result of trusting God. Rom. 5:2 through Rom. 5:6 (KJV) 2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. So what is hope? We in today's terms look at hope as a wish, "I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow, or I hope I get an A on the test." Biblical "hope" is the greek word elpis- a confident expectation with a sure basis. If we look at the scriptures above we see that hope is a result of truwstin God to see us through the trials and tribulations that come our way. and based on that experience we develop hope. God saw me through the last trial when I leqaned on Him totally to see me through, and God will see me through this time when I lean on Him completely so it is my expectaion on a sure basis HOPE that He will see me through now. Hope is a development in our having our minds renewed by God to His way of thinking and living. Charity as used in the King James version of the Bible is the word love. The way I am to love others as directed in the Bible is an impossibility for me to accomplish in my own ability. 1 Cor. 13:1 through 1 Cor. 13:8 (KJV) 1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. I cannot bring about that kind of love on my own. When God gives instruction He always provide a means to carry out that instruction, and He has in His instruction to love as indicated in the scripture above. It is by the fruit of the Spirit thast we are able to love with the God Kind of love. Live by the Spirit and the Spirit's fruit will show in your live. It is through submission that we allow the Spirit to live through us that His fruit come forth. Not a gift but a result of our surrender to the Lordship of Jesus. |

96 | Disciplerami, What does "obey Him" mean? | Acts 5:32 | Asis | 79431 | ||
Luke 6:46 Why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not [practice] what I tell you? Jesus answers the question right here. We are to do what He tells us to do. Obedient even unto death, even a death on a tree. If He says turn left, turn left. He says believe then believe. God uses scripture to instruct us on His will for our lives. He tells us who we are in Christ. His mother said it most succinctly in John 2:5 Whatever He says do it. | ||||||
