81 | is how we use our talents to be judged? | NT general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 192360 | ||
I'm going to have to disagree slightly. First off, in this passage God separates from Goats and Sheep. The sheep, as Jesus states elsewhere, hear his voice and follow. They are the ones who would be counted as "Saved". The goats, however, are not "Saved". This is essentially a retelling of Revelations 20:11-15, the judgement of the Great White Throne. First, in the passage in Revelations 20, everyone is separated between "Saved" and "Unsaved", and their actions are judged. It has little to do with the talents and gifts God has granted and more to do with whether or not a person is "Saved" or not. So .. yes .. we are judged by sin. Jesusman |

82 | once "saved" always "saved" | NT general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 192408 | ||
For the record, Yes, I do believe that once one is genuinely saved, that he is always saved. Now .. which left field you are getting this from out of this passage I am still trying to figure out. Anyways, Read Matthew 25:31-33 carefully. Verse 31: Speaks of who is hosting this gathering. Said to be the Son of Man, that it will be at his "Glorious Throne". Verse 32: Says who is being gathered. "All the nations" are brought before him. This verse goes on to what will happen to them. He will separate them one from another. He uses the analogy of a shepherd tending his flock. Verse 33: How they are separated. Those who are his faithful, in other words "Saved", are counted as his "sheep" using the analogy, and will be placed on the right. Those who are not his faithful, in other words "Unsaved", are counted as "goats" using the analogy, and will be placed on the left. Now .. Verse 34 begins a new thought. He starts with this phrase "Then the King will say to those on his right ...". The first 3 verses of this passage already tells us that everyone was separated. Now he goes into why they were separated and how starting with verse 34. In verse 34, he is speaking directly to the ones on his right. He tells them what they will inherit in verse 34. Then beginning in verse 35, he goes through the ordeal of revealing what they did in life. Hence, as is reflected in Revelation 20, they were judged by their actions. This continues to Verse 41, where he begins a new train of throught. Now he is speaking to the others. Those on his left. He begins exactly as he did in verse 34. Telling us who he was speaking to and what they will inherit, in this case punishment in eternal fire. For the remainder of the chapter telling us what they did in life to deserve such. Hence, like with the ones on the right, they were judged by their actions. Now, it's nice that you bring up Romans 2:7. Did you read the context passage? Romans 2:1-16? The entire passage is about the Final judgement and how our actions will reflect upon it. Verse 5 of the passage tells that those who remain stubborn and unrepentant store up wrath and righteous judgement from God, such as is described what will happen to the ones on the left in Matthew 25. Another thing to note is that this passage immediately follows a passage in Romans that spells out a very detailed outline of a person's progress through sin and disobedience. In Romans 1:18-32, Paul writes about an unsaved person. That the Person is continuously given chances to repent, and if that person does not, that he will be granted what the person desires until finally he is brought to final judgement, death. Chapter 2 of romans is expanding on that thought. You then bring up Hebrews 1:26-27. Did you read also the context passage Hebrews 1:26-31? The author, through out the whole chapter, is speaking about the sarcifice made by christ on the cross in comparrison to the yearly ones made by the priests under the mosaic law. Look at verse 29. Here he basically clarifies what he said in verse 26 about the ones who recieve "the knowledge of truth". He gives a list of sins. 1) Trampling the son of God under his foot. 2) reguarded the blood of the covenant unclean. 3) and insulted the Spirit of Grace. This person basically is asking for God's judgement. The author is essentially saying that if you reject the sacrifice made by Christ, then you reject only sacrifice capable of saving you from death. All of these passages say the same basic thing. If you refuse the gift of Salvation from God, then you lose any and all chance at eternal life. Jesusman |

83 | Can a Christian reject God's grace | NT general Archive 1 | Jesusman | 192411 | ||
I believe it is impossible for one who is genuinely saved to reject God's Grace. In my mind, John 3:18 sums it up very clearly. "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." Jesusman |

84 | Rev 20:10 | NT general | Jesusman | 195751 | ||
Greetings, One thing you seem to overlook is that God isn't the one doing it. There won't be God or one of his angels with a demented look of enjoyment on his face sticking the Devil with a hot poker over and over behind iron bars. Those who are sent to hell aren't dragged their by the hairs on the head. God has provided a choice. Those who refuse to obey and love God deserve this. These aren't the misunderstood innocents who have been convicted by mistake. Those cast into the lake of fire will be evil, sinful, and those who hate God. How can I enjoy heaven when there will be people in the lake of fire? I will enjoy heaven very much, because I will know that I am safe from the evil and wicked. I will enjoy heaven because I won't have to worry about the evil and wicked. I will enjoy heaven because I will be in the presence of God. Remember, God isn't torturing them. They are torturing themselves. They chose to be separated from God. God is giving them exactly what they asked for. Jesusman. |

85 | Easter- two days later? | NT general | Jesusman | 199357 | ||
Part of it has to do with jewish way of counting a day. Part of a day is counted as being a day. So .. he died on friday. Day one. Spent saturday in the grave. Day 2. Resurrected on Sunday. Day 3. Jesusman |

86 | Why are the lists of the 12 apostles dif | NT general | Jesusman | 199404 | ||
Greetings, This can be easily explained by the fact that not everyone will know a person by a single name. To my friends, I am Bruce. Online, I am Jesusman. To my dad, I am skipper. To my mom, I was Bo pat. To those I know only via business, I am Mr. Richards. Take Bartholemew for example. He was also called Nathaniel. Paul was also known as Saul. Peter was also known as Simon. So .. the differences in the listings are simply put that they are known by a different name. Jesusman |

87 | what was jesus's occupation | NT general | Jesusman | 199798 | ||
Greetings, Given that Joseph, the man who raised Jesus, was a carpenter, it would be safe to assume that Jesus was originally trained to be a carpenter. Given that Jesus often use construction terms in many of his messages, it can be safe to assume that Jesus at some point in his life relied on Carpentry as his occupation. Jesusman |

88 | Is Lamec a descendant of Seth or Cain? | Genesis | Jesusman | 26083 | ||
Ok, Since Lamech is mentioned in both places and also concidering that the Earth is still young and not heavily populated, it is reasonable to assume that both references are about the same person. Therefore, he must be the son of both Cain and Seth. Turn to genesis 6:1-4. Now, get the idea out of your head that angels married humans and produced superhuman giants, like some scholars have suggested. That's obsurd and doesn't follow context at all. Notice in verses 1-2. The population of the earth began to multiply and the "sons of God" saw the "daughters of men" and married them. Now, who are these two groups. 1) Sons of God. There are three possible identities to this phrase. the first is Jesus Christ, who is called the Son of God. However, due to the plural usage in Genesis, this option is cancelled out. The Second is that it is in reference to Angels. This idea stems from the same usage in Job chapter 1. In Job 1:6, 2:1, the "sons of God" are gathered before God, and Satan approaches God and Job becomes the topic of the conversation. Notice that the term "angels" is never used. The only reason that "angels" are given as a possible meaning is because Satan is there and they are gathered before God. In fact, no where in scriptue is "sons of God" clearly attributed to angels. The term "Sons of God" is almost always attributed to those who are in obedience to the will of God the Father. The largest protion is humans. Roman 8:1-17 comes right out and calls those who are saved as God's children. Israel is called the children of God time and time again throughout the Old Testament. Therefore, it is more likely that Genesis 6:1-4 is in reference to the group of human males who are living in obedience to God the Father. Now, as you have pointed out, there is a fusion of Cain's lineage and Seth's lineage. Many of the offspring are listed twice. Clearly, the two lines intermarried. Now, since Cain and his lineage were cursed by God, it is safe to assume that Seth's lineage are the "Sons of God". 2) Daughters of Men As stated above, Since Cain and his lineage was cursed by God, they cannot be the "Sons of God". Therefore, the "daughters of men" must be in reference to Cain's female offspring. Now, to explain the Niphillim, or Giants. No, these aren't the offspring. This is a time reference. As If I were to talk about Baseball history and say, "The Dodgers were playing in Brooklyn at the time,..." From that reference, you would know that I am talking about a time period before the 1960's. Also notice the phrase about the "niphillim". It says that they were in the land at that time when the sons of God came to the daughters of men. How can they be offspring if they were already there? Also, the "mighty men of old" and "men of renown" are the offspring, and these "men of renown" and "mighty men of old" are not the niphillim. So, as you can see the answer to your question is in chapter 6 of Genesis. Jesusman |

89 | How can we understand Genesis 3:15? | Genesis | Jesusman | 26984 | ||
What is there to understand? This is the first Old Testament prophecy about the coming messiah. A seed from the woman, namely the line of Seth, shall eventually produce an offspring who shall be the messiah. Jesusman |

92 | God's anger at Babel tower, why? | Genesis | Jesusman | 29215 | ||
They had the audacity to attempt to try and reach God on their own accord. Not only that, but they were trying to act without God. Basically, it all boils down to pride and selfishness. As a result of their pride and selfishness, God confused the langauges. This resulted in future college and high school students needing to fulfill a language requirement in order to graduate. :) Jesusman |

94 | Is our path already doomed? | Genesis | Jesusman | 103041 | ||
Hello, Welcome to the forum. Instersting question you have there. Let me ask another one to get the thought process going. If God predetermined that Adam and Eve would fall, then doesn't that make God the Author of Evil? You see, without Man's freedom of choice, both to choose to sin and to accept God's grace through faith, then God becomes the author of sin, and salvation is no longer a father and child relationship. Salvation becomes equivilent to a relationship between controller and robot. Adam needed to make the choice to sin. Jesusman |

97 | having vs. being a soul | Gen 2:7 | Jesusman | 40913 | ||
Hello, the context of "became a living soul" in this passage is merely confirming that at this time man became alive. To quote Dr. Frankenstine, "IT'S ALIVE!!!!" The person is composed of the Body, Spirit, and Soul. Jesus, Moses, Paul, and others confirm this. These three parts together form the person. Jesusman |

98 | Was Cain the son of Adam? | Gen 4:1 | Jesusman | 166701 | ||
Genesis 4:1 says it very clearly that Adam "had relations" with his wife Eave and that she gave birth to Cain. So, If he's not the son of Adam, then how do you explain Genesis 4:1? There have been numerous claims about Cain that are simply unfounded or speculative. Like Cain is the father of Vampires, and such .. |

99 | "whoever" . Who are these other people?? | Gen 4:14 | Jesusman | 194819 | ||
You seriously don't believe Eve was the only woman in existance until Noah's wife right? Adam and Eve had other children beside Seth, Cain, and Abel. There had to at least have been 2 daughters .. one for Cain and one for Seth. Also given how long lives were at that point, its not a huge leap of logic to assume that Cain is referring to his kindred that might find him. Jesusman. |
