81 | Is tithing a command for chriatians? | 2 Cor 9:7 | Vintage68 | 214863 | ||
Hi Beja My addendum to your post, is only for the purpose of placing a scripture, with your most eloquent dialog. The two following scriptures, clearly demonstrate the teaching of Jesus, on our obligation to be keeping the moral law, as per your statements. Brackets have been added Matt.19:17-19 17.) And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, (keep the commandments). 18.) He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, (Thou shalt do no murder), (Thou shalt not commit adultery), (Thou shalt not steal), (Thou shalt not bear false witness), 19.) (Honour thy father and thy mother): and, (Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself). Matt.22:37-40 37.) Jesus said unto him, (Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind). 38.) This is the first and great commandment. 39.) And the second is like unto it, (Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself). 40.) On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Vintage68 |

Hi Val Israel is the apple of Gods eye. Therefore, anything that has, or will happen to Israel, God has allowed. Nothing that happens to Israel is out of the control of God. No unforeseen disaster, such as the giving of land, to the Palestinians, will put Israel into any danger that God would not be aware of. It's all in Gods plan. Vintage68 |

83 | scripture on why we go through trials | 2 Cor 12:10 | Vintage68 | 215604 | ||
Hi John Thank you for all of the help, you have been most understanding. I am soooo thrilled that you agree with everything. In that you have not refuted anything. But I am curious about one thing, you have a post, I am supposing was to me. What could you have said, that would have gotten . . . One last thing if I may, I do not remember posting any atonement, convoluted or otherwise. Vintage68 |

84 | Rapture | 1 Thess 4:17 | Vintage68 | 216814 | ||
HI CDBJ I reiterate. Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. With this now in mind, what makes you think, you will find in scripture where it says (when) he will return? Do you think there is scripture that tells us these things, so we can figure it all out before hand? If so, why do we have 3 different viewpoints? Wouldn't that be kind of counter productive for God to tell us that we wouldn't know, then give us all of the information so we could then know? Gods Elect will definitely know that the time is close, God will make sure when we should have the information, there won't be doubt, that is what we have now DOUBT. Where we are today, is no different than what has been happening for the last 2000 yrs. don't you think that people asked the same questions as the Spanish Inquisition was taking place? Aren't there a lot of events that need to be accomplished before the rapture? Are they happening? In answer to your question "When the Scripture says "the day or the hour" that is being relatively close don’t you think; how about the times and the seasons, that leaves us an approximation?" Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Acts 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. First it says, (YE,YOU) know not the hour. That does mean us doesn't it? Then there is this. Matthew 24:40,41 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. One man, and one woman were saved weren't they, apparently they didn't know the hour. Then in Daniel it says. Daniel 2:21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: Therefore, Can you depend on the (times) or the (seasons)?

85 | Rapture | 1 Thess 4:17 | Vintage68 | 216817 | ||
Hi John -- Thank you! Your question: "Implying that somethings need to be accomplished before the Rapture can happen. I cant say for sure of course and I don't believe for a moment that anyone else can either, but I don't believe there are. :-)" Your question, kind of drags it pack out on the field of speculation. It stands to reason, at least to me, if everything was accomplished, we would not be here:-) Everything Jesus needed to do is finished, as he said. But time is marching on until the time of the end. As you have said, we just don't know. I concur on your non - belief of the single event. Vintage68 |

86 | Rapture | 1 Thess 4:17 | Vintage68 | 216844 | ||
Hi CDBJ A few questions for clarification. Why would it have been necessary, and of the utmost importance for Paul, and Peter to have these things understood by the Thessalonians? Were they at the center of the universe, as far as the Christendom was concerned? My point is, why is it so important for "them" to know just how these things are going to take place, if it is "US" who these things will be happening to? Both Paul, and Peter "neglect" to tell the Thessalonians, that these things are not for them personally, but for us 2000 yrs. in the future. Wouldn't that be instilling fear in the hearts of men? But then on the other hand, Jesus Himself did say in. Matt.24:34 Verily I say unto you, (This generation) shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. brackets are mine If these things are for us then why wouldn't there have been a prophesy to us (the church) the same as Daniel was to the Jews.

Hi Lionhead That isn't quite the context as to what that verse is saying is it? The aforetime mentioned, was aforetime to the one writing, referring to the "hope". While it is true we can have the same "hope", because we can read the same things they did. So which one is Thess. written to, them or us? If it's to them, what do we learn from it, in relation to the hope Rom.15. was speaking about? If it's to us, why did they need it? Vintage68 |

Hi Doc Then you have in your own inimitable fashion, answered in one fell swoop, all of the different beliefs about the rapture, when you say. "Nothing in Scripture ever means something other than what it meant when it was penned." Do you mean like this? Matt.24:34 Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. This truly of His then, really was a truly? Not a maybe these things will happen before this generation pass away. This verse should be kept within the context of the whole chapter though. Thanks for the clarification. Vintage68 |

91 | Un-repented Sin | Heb 6:6 | Vintage68 | 217505 | ||
Hi Lionheart un, a prefix freely used in English to form verbs expressing a reversal of some action or state, or removal, deprivation, release, etc. or to intensify the force of a verb already having such a meaning. repented, To feel remorse, contrition, or self-reproach for what one has done, be contrite. To feel such regret for past conduct as to change one's mind regarding it: To make a change for the better as a result of remorse or contrition for one's sins. To feel regret or self-reproach for: repent one's sins. OK it isn't a word, but it should be:-) I would then say. If Christians die with un-confessed sin, not having expressed their remorse for said sin, how will they be judged? A Christian commits a sin in the morning, then another sin at noon, but before they could confess these sins,asking for forgiveness, when they say their nightly prayers they die. Vintage68 |

Hi Doc I asked the question, looking for an honest answer. If you feel as though I was leading the exegesis into a direction, then I humbly apologize for any misunderstanding you may have had. The question, as stated originally, then amended for clarification, I will attempt to put into a perspective that would not give you any more problems, as far as to the intent of the question. I have from time to time, on this Forum, seen posts that say things like, "There are sins that I commit over, and over again, but I always make it a point to confess my sins, in my nightly prayers, before I go to sleep." Have these Christians then not deviated from the faith? So the question arose. If a Christian believing they are saved by Grace, and also believing in the doctrine of "once saved always saved", then confessing to having sin in their lives, whereby they confess, asking forgiveness for those sins committed on a daily basis. "What would happen to these Christians if they died, before they could confess those sins?" Is that not a legitimate question? I for one cannot understand how these things can be. As you have so aptly stated., "How fearful it must be to contemplate each night that one may have neglected to confess some sin or another." But you on the other hand have apparently reconciled this question, where upon you have made the following statement. "Repentance is continually manifested in the life of one who is regenerate." Could you direct me as to the place, or places in scripture where this teaching can be found? Vintage68 |

Hi dwilliamson, Thank you for the response, it is much appreciated. (actually Ireland is a bit ahead of us guys). About 5 hrs. In relation to your thoughts. "When we sin against our Father we are out of communion and need to be forgiven and restored to that communion, but our Union with Him as being in His Family is never broken." How does 1 John 3 - - and - - Hebrews 6:4 fit? I understand what your saying, and would like to agree with it, because it sounds right. But where is the scripture that says such a thing? Vintage68 |

Hi Doc You say, 'In theology this is an area called ethics. The notion of setting aside one command in order to achieve a greater good is called the teleological suspension of the ethical." Within this theological model, is it inclusive of all people? Or do we only consider those that are within the theological understanding of the theories put forth. In other words, are there people included within this model that do not have the spiritual capacity to understand spiritual truth, (Unsaved)? you say, "For example, we are commanded to obey the laws of the land." While this is true, Rahab was not in the position, of deciding whether to follow Mans' or Gods' command, such as the Apostle were. As far as Rahab was concerned, in the situation she found herself, I think she perfectly fits the "Machiavellian principle of "the end justifies the means." The fact that God in His Sovereignty used her to save the lives of the spies, she was unaware of, in her mind she was only thinking of herself, and what she could do to benefit herself and her family. I am of the belief that the society she lived in, was an "A" Moral society. The Canaanites were not a righteous people. So the "LIE" she told fell on deaf ears. My point is that she was not under the same law the Jews were. "No Law No Sin." But the fact remains that God revealed to this woman, something that nobody else in the entire city of Jericho understood. He did it for the express purpose of saving the lives of the spies, God has proven time and again that He will use any vessel at hand. In doing so, God helped her fulfill the law for her, thus becoming Righteous in His sight. She put her faith in the spies, that what they had promised was true, so her Faith then coupled with her works. She therefore unwittingly fulfilled Matthew 22:39 and Matthew 7:12 Vintage68 |
