82 | How do I deal with Hatred toward God? | Bible general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 36353 | ||
Dear gnuheart, Is there a way that you can ask the person you are referencing why they hate God? If you truly want to be involved and try to help, you and I will need more information. A really hard lesson for me has been to leave people alone once a seed is planted. Scripture teaches we need to allow the Father to grow the seed. So if you have talked with this person and shared the good news, give it to the Father and allow Him to do according to His will. I sense your concern for this person and can relate through my own experiences and when I feel the way I sense you may be, I read my Bible and find verses like the following, Rom 11:7-11 7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded 8(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompence unto them: 10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. 11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. KJV Also, Rom 11:25-32 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. 29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. 32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. KJV Please read the whole Chapter of Rom 11 for a better understanding. Hope this helps. Bless you, Love Fountain |

83 | what is the state of the dead in Christ? | 1 Cor 5:8 | Love Fountain | 36290 | ||
Dear Mommapbs, Thank you for the thoughts and the response. Please find attached commentary notes below, for another thought, Deut 34:1-8 Deuteronomy 34:1-8 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan, Verse 1-8. 1 a. Moses went up ... unto mount Nebo (ASV). Moses walked alone the ascent of no return, away from the promised land to the top of the mountain ridge on the west of the plains of Moab, opposite Jericho, to Mount Nebo. The panorama of Israel's sworn inheritance is described as it appeared looking first towards the northeast, thence westward and south, back to the plain stretching between Jericho and Moses. 2. The Western Sea (RSV); i.e., the Mediteranean, lying beyond the hills of Judah, is not naturally visible from Nebo. 4 b. Thou shalt not go over thither. Cf. Deut 1:37; 3:26; 4:21-22; 32:52. Though not now able to enter the land, Moses beheld its northern mountain peaks, on one of which he, with Elijah, was afterwards to stand and speak with the Mediator of the New Covenant concerning the exodus he must accomplish at Jerusalem before he might cross over into the heavenly inheritance (cf. Matt 17:3; Mark 9:4; Luke 9:30-31). It was necessary for Jesus to die before entering his rest, because he was the true Mediator who came to reconcile his sinful people unto God; Moses must die without entering the typical rest because as the OT mediator he had by official transgression disqualified himself for completing the mission which prefigured that of the sinless Son of God. Unlike Moses, who after his death was succeeded by Joshua (Deut 33:9), the Messianic Mediator would succeed himself after his death because it was not possible that death should hold him. 7. Nor his natural force abated. Moses, though 120 years of age (cf. 31:2; 7:7), did not expire of old age, but by the command of God, who by His sovereign word creates and destroys (Deut 34:5). On the location of Moses' burial (v. 6), see 3:29; 4:46. On its sequel, see Jude 9. (from The Wycliffe Bible Commentary, Electronic Database. Copyright (c) 1962 by Moody Press) and, Deut 34:6 Deuteronomy 34:6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. [No man knoweth of his sepulchre] Hardly, lest the grave of Moses should become an object of superstitious honor, because the Jews were not prone to this particular fore of error. Bearing in mind the appearance of Moses at the Transfiguration (Matt 17:1-10), and what is said by Jude (Jude 9), we may conjecture that Moses after death passed into the same state with Enoch and Elijah; and that his grave could not be found because he was shortly translated (transported) from it.

84 | what is the state of the dead in Christ? | 1 Cor 5:8 | Love Fountain | 36286 | ||
Dear Mommapbs, You say,"There are two individuals in Scripture who did not experience physical death (Enoch - Gen 5:24 and Elijah - 2 Kings 2:11)." I was reading in 1Cor 15:35,36 as follows, 1 Cor 15:35-36 35 But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?" 36 You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies; NASU Please don't take offense, I am not name calling here. My point is that in the verses above in 1Cor 15 and in the verses to follow as we read the remainder of Chapter 15 we are told that unless the natural(flesh) body dies it will not be raised into a spiritual body. How does this fit into what you have stated regarding Enoch and Elijah? Also, many believe that Moses and Elijah are the two witness in Rev 11. It appears you believe Enoch to be in place of Moses, but what about the fact that the dead body of Moses was buried by Jehovah and was never seen? Deut 34:5-6 5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. 6 And He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor; but no man knows his burial place to this day. NASU What do you think? Bless you, Love Fountain |

85 | Can a person's spirit visit the earth? | Bible general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 36282 | ||
Dear Johnny, You have quoted verses pertaining to the second death, which has to do with the death of the soul. If the soul is dead then I would agree with you that they will no longer visit earth. However, I believe that Suzanne was asking about the first death or death of the physical body and if the spirit ever returns to the Earth for a visit. This can be answered as yes, because of the mount of transfiguration, where we see Moses and Elijah with Jesus returned to Earth from Heaven. Bless you, Love Fountain |

86 | Who was Jesus asking God to forgive? | Luke 23:34 | Love Fountain | 36182 | ||
Dear Searcher, Thank you for your "IMHO". Are you also asking me a question? In response to what you have said,"Jewish leaders - yes, they knew He was the Messiah." If they knew Jesus was the Messiah, why in Luke 23:35, did the rulers or leaders doubt and mock Jesus saying,"...He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God." KJV Had they known Jesus was the Messiah I would believe they would not being saying "IF" he be Christ".Since "IF" is stated, there is an obvious element of doubt from the leaders. What do you think? Bless you, Love Fountain |

Dear Searcher56, You have said,"Elohim always means more than two, Elah means two." I am concerned, in Gen 1:1 the Bible says," In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." The word for God in Gen 1:1 is Elohim. Are you saying that Gen 1:1 should say In the beginning "Gods" created the heaven and earth? Huh? Please explain. Bless you, Love Fountain |

88 | nephillim offspring of fallen angels? | Gen 6:1 | Love Fountain | 35645 | ||
Dear Makarios, Based on what you had said, I am under the impression that you are saying angels or spiritual bodies only manifest themselves within a human flesh body. So, based upon this impression of what you are saying, this is why in Gen 18, that Abraham washed the feet of the Lord and the feet of two angels in Gen 18:3,4 is because they were in flesh bodies and this is also why they ate together under a tree in Gen 18:8? Is my impression of what you are saying regarding the physical and spiritual existence of angels correct? Bless you, Love Fountain |

Dear Makarios, If I am understanding what you are saying, then would this also apply to Gen 32:24-32, when Jacob wrestled with God and God made Jacob's thigh come out of joint?

91 | Where are the people of Dan 11:32 in NT? | Dan 11:32 | Love Fountain | 35222 | ||
Dear Benjamite, Thank you again for your response. In the Bible we have many examples of things to come which happen in the past so that we are not left untold of what is to come or what has been. History repeats itself into existence of a future occurrence time and time again. So with this in mind, my question still stands, where are the people in Dan 11:32 in the NT? History leads us to believe the Macabbeans in that time as you have stated , but how about the future, which is what my question is focused on? What do you think? Bless you, Love Fountain |

92 | satan allowed to blind minds? | Mark 4:15 | Love Fountain | 35218 | ||
Dear believer57, Thank you for your love! I do study, in depth and read the Bible almost everyday. You have taken this to many places in Scripture that I also find much hope and love within too. I agree satan was defeated at Calvary, but I do not believe we are done with him just yet because of all the hate and filth that we are surrounded by in this day in time. Every single day is yet filled by more tests that I am needing to overcome. Scripture says that God does not tempt so that leaves satan who is the daily tempter. One reason I have asked this question is because I think people in general totally underestimate the enemy we are up against. In Matt4 satan offered Jesus all the nations of this world, as if they are his to give. In 2Cor 4:4 satan is called the god of this world able to blind minds, as if he controls this world. He is also called the prince of the power of the air, air which is what you and I breathe. I do not believe satan is one to be feared, but one to be challenged with love, a love that he has forgotten, the love that allows even him to exist also. I always try to remember God is love and anything that is not love is not God. Knowing that God is love and anything that is not love is not God, has led me to a feeling of sickness within my heart and soul when I hear that unbelievers are going to hell. Scripture clearly states that satan has blinded minds and caused their unbelief(2Cor 4:4). Since God is love, please tell me where love is found in condemnation of an unbeliever, through the judgement of a believer towards anothers salvation. In other words, who are we to judge? Do we not spread fear and in turn push people away from the Church when we condemn others for their unbelief, instead of searching for the understanding of why they are allowed to have unbelief? Then you also have the true God that has blinded people in the following, Rom 11:7-11 7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded 8(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompence unto them: 10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. 11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. KJV What do you think? Bless you, Love Fountain |

Dear Benjamite, ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION. Interpreted by premillennialists as the idolatrous image to be set up by the final Antichrist (the "beast," or "man of lawlessness" of 2 Thess 2:3-4) in the restored Temple at Jerusalem in the latter half of Daniel's seventieth week (Dan 9:27; 12:11). For the first part of the three and one-half days (years) of the prophetic week of years, the Antichrist keeps his covenant with the Jews. At the beginning of the last half of the week he breaks it (Zech 11:16-17), compelling the Jews to worship his image. This is "the abomination (idol) of the desolator" or "the idol that causes desolation" (cf. Dan 11:31; 12:11), inaugurating the period of "Jacob's trouble" (Jer 30:7), a time of terrible suffering to Palestinian Jews of the end time, of which our Lord spoke (Matt 24:15). In Dan 11:31 the reference is to the act of Antiochus Epiphanes, prototype of the final Antichrist, who, in June 168 BC desecrated the Temple at Jerusalem. He built an altar to Jupiter Olympus on the altar of burnt offering, dedicated the Temple to this heathen deity, and offered swine's flesh. Premillennialists maintain that neither Antiochus Epiphanes nor the Romans under Titus in A.D. 70 AD exhausted Daniel's prophecy, which still awaits fulfillment. Amillennial interpretation, however, sees a fulfillment in the advance of the Romans against Jerusalem in A.D. 70 AD with their image-crowned standards, which were regarded as idols by the Jews. (From The New Unger's Bible Dictionary. Originally published by Moody Press of Chicago, Illinois. Copyright (c) 1988.) ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION A despicable misuse of the Temple of the Lord during a time of great trouble-an event foretold by the prophet Daniel. The phrase is found in Matt 24:15 and Mark 13:14 as a quotation from Dan 11:31 and 12:11. In Daniel, the words mean "the abomination that makes desolate." In other words, Daniel prophesied that the Temple would be used for an "abominable" purpose at some time in the future. As a result, God's faithful people would no longer worship there-so great would be their moral revulsion, contempt, and abhorrence at the sacrilege-and the Temple would become "desolate." According to the verses in the gospels, a similar misuse of the Temple would take place in the future. This would show that a time of great trouble was coming on Judea. People should take warning and flee to the mountains (Matt 24:16; Mark 13:14). Some believe Daniel's prophecy was fulfilled about 165 BC when Antiochus IV (Epiphanes), Greek ruler of Syria, polluted the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem by sacrificing a pig on the holy altar. This sacrificing of an UNCLEAN pig was the worst kind of abomination that could have taken place. These people also believe the prophecy in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark was fulfilled when the Romans sacked the Jewish Temple about A.D. 70 AD. But others believe just as strongly that neither of these prophecies has yet been completely fulfilled. They insist that the abomination of desolation refers to the idolatrous image or the "man of sin" who will take over God's place in the Temple and make people bow down and worship him (2 Thess 2:3-4). According to this interpretation, this will be the final act of sacrilege that marks the beginning of the end time.

Dear believer57, You say,"How do we know that in v. 21 it is the antichrist who is called a "vile person" (KJV) or "despicable person" (NASB)?" Regarding the "vile person", the prophecy concerning him continues to the end of the chapter. It is parallel with Dan 7:8, 8:9, and 9:26,27. He is not another successional king of the north, but a totally different and unique personage, still future. He comes in by flatteries and is attacked by both a king of the north and king of the south in verse 40. In Matt 24 we are told of the end of the world and what will be the signs. Antiochus is not the abomination of desolation at the end of the world. Matt 24:3 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? KJV Matt 24:15 15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) KJV Dan 12:11 11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. KJV Dan 11:31 31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. KJV I don't see a difference in the abomination that maketh desolate in Matt 24, Dan 12 or Dan 11, are they not all the antichrist in referrence to the end of the world? Also, is the taking away of the daily sacrifice in Dan 11:31 and Dan 12:11 different or how is there a difference in Dan 9:27? In Dan 8:12 we also find referrence to the daily sacrifice which belongs also to the time of the end and was not fulfilled by Antiochus. The career of Antiochus was only a foreshadowing of the fulfillment to come by him who is known as the "little horn". Bless you, Love Fountain |

96 | satan allowed to blind minds? | Mark 4:15 | Love Fountain | 35198 | ||
Dear believer57, Thanks for your response. You said,"Belief is a matter of choice." How can that be if satan is allowed to blind minds? I agree with many of your points, however I do not agree with you when you say salvation is not available to unbelievers. Why are they unbelievers, is the first point that I was trying to make with reference to Mark 4:15. An unbeliever or a believer for that matter may hear the truth, but as soon as either one hears the truth, satan comes and takes the truth from out of their minds. Just because I am a believer does not mean I know or have the truth, does it? In 2Cor 4:4 satan is without a doubt called the god of this world and is stated as being able to blind the minds of them which believe not. It does not differentiate whether the referrence is to unbelievers or believers, just those that believe not. And keep in mind when they have heard the truth as stated in Mark 4:15 that satan comes and takes away the word that is sowed in them. An example would be a recent debate I was in regarding Gen 6 and whether the sons of God are angels or men. Both sides in the debate are believers, yet the truth of whether the sons of God are angels or men is being held in darkness by satan according to Mark 4:15(the truth is taken away) and 2Cor 4:4( the god of this world has blinded their eyes from the truth). One side has the truth and one side believes a lie, and yes there is a possibility that both are wrong, yet both sides are believers and yet it is obvious the truth has been taken away or blinded from their understanding. One of the sides debating the sons of God as angels or men is in unbelief of what the other believes, is it not satan, with 2Cor 4:4 and Mark 4:15 in mind, that is causing the unbelief? Another example can be about a believer who went to church all the time and then something terrible happens to them. The terrible thing that happens to them is caused by satan and causes them to no longer maintain their belief. If what you have said, unbelievers have no salvation, is true, then God would not allow this unbeliever who was blinded by satan to have salvation because the unbeliever who was once a believer was blinded by satan and therefore lost his or her salvation. Is this what you are stating when you say unbelievers have no salvation? How are you sure of the source of a persons unbelief? With all this in mind, my question is, how can we judge whether an unbeliever has salvation if the unbeliever is allowed to be deceived? I am interested in your thoughts. Bless you, Love Fountain |

Dear Benjamite, Thanks for your response. When you say,"11:36 then begins the description of the Antichrist's career." This is still future from OUR standpoint (as the rest of it was also future from Daniel's), this belief is confusing to me. For one reason is Dan 11:21 - Dan 12:3 is what I believed to be future for "us". Please read in verse 21 that the antichrist is called "a vile person" in the KJV, which is one of twelve titles given to the antichrist. Who else could this be? I also would like to know which two commentaries I can read that say future is from Dan 11:36 on and that Dan 11:21 - 35 are past. Many scholars believe that in Dan 11:31, "take away the daily sacrifice", marks the middle of the "week" or the last seven years. Many believe from this point the antichrist is energized by satan. My question still stands, who are the people from Dan 11:32 who know their God and do exploits and where are they in the New Testament with reference to the end time? Bless you, Love Fountain |

99 | Can angels have human babies? | Gen 6:4 | Love Fountain | 35096 | ||
Dear Discipled, This thread of whether the sons of God are angels or they are the sons of men is very interesting and as I have heard you say, provocative. Recently I have found myself in Genesis and was reading about Lot in Gen 19:1, when two angels came upon him in the gate to the city. The thought I have been having lately, and I would appreciate your insight, is the fact that Lot sees the two angels as angels and further on in the Text of the same chapter, within context, the men of Sodom told Lot to give them the men which came unto him. What do you think about Lot seeing the visitors as angels and everyone else(men of the city) as just men? Any thoughts? Bless you, Love Fountain |
