81 | "Be ye perfect." | Matt 5:48 | keliy | 214608 | ||
Thank you Searcher, for the correction of my blunder. Yes, it was the multitudes that flocked to Jesus, but the Pharisees are not mentioned here. Actually I should have wrote that Jesus was speaking 'of' the Pharisees, and not 'to' them. The only standard of righteousness that the Jews would have known about during that time was the standard that was being taught by the Scribes and Pharisees. The foremost question in the mind of the Jews of the day would likely have been, "Am I righteous enough to enter God's kingdom?' Jesus was answering the question, and correcting the current teaching of the religious leaders, who may or may not have been actually present. Good eye, Searcher. I stand corrected. keliy |

F.C.S. Yes I agree completely, I don't think it was God's intention for there to be denominations. And you hit the nail right on the head when you mentioned the word, Relationship. It is not about Religion. The very fact that you felt led to post those remarks attest to your relationship. Lord Bless, keliy |

Hi Diane, Sorry, I had to split this into two parts. Actually, Deu 14 Is a part of the Torah. In a somewhat limited sense, Torah refers to the 5 books of Moses, that we call the pentateuch, (penta means 5), which of course includes: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. God had chosen the Jewish people to bring His Word into the world, so actually the Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew language, -with a little Aramaic too. The laws concerning food begin in Leviticus: 'Nevertheless, you are not to eat of these, among those which chew the cud, or among those which divide the hoof: the camel, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you. (Lev 11:4) But, thankfully, for non-Jews at least, these laws end in the New Testament. -So we are not hindered from enjoying bacon with our eggs. (-: See Acts 10:5 and 11:9. Lord bless, keliy |

Thank you, Diane. There is little in this life that is more fulfilling than helping to enlighten someone who is trying to find ways to learn the Bible. I enjoy audio sermons and place wireless speakers around my house to listen whatever room I'm in. An excellent site to look at is blueletterbible.org I actually heard of it first here at SBF., around 8 years ago, and I use it on a daily basis. You can type any verse or book into the search box, or even a group of words to find a verse. then you can click on audio or textual commentaries and you get more information that is related to that Book, maybe like historical or cultural backgrounds. You can compare about 17 Bible versions, including Hebrew, Greek and Latin languages, so you can see there is a lot of info. I am happy that you joined a Bible study web site. Nine years ago I was in your shoes, so to speak and I took a correspondance course that started at Gen 1:1, and continued to a college level course with a personal instructor. Praise God that He provides people to help us all grow. You mentioned overseas... were you there in the military? Lord bless, keliy |

88 | Actual bodies in heaven? | 1 John 3:2 | keliy | 213936 | ||
Dear Doc, I know Chuck Smith to be a Good And Godly man who remains very close to God's Word. And by Implication, close to our Lord. I read the list in your post of verses you pasted out of the London Baptist's Confession of Faith, and they do little, if anything in responding to the question of what our bodies will be like, they only give reference as to where our body will be. Our bodies are unable to be unchanged in the state we are to become. Therefore, In Pastor Smith's exposition, he stated that it is unwise to speculate upon the true nature of our resurrected bodies, since no one really knows. Can I ask you to give one verse to support that our bodies will be unchanged, or the same as we know them in this life? Sorry, -I just prefer anticipation above speculation (o; In Him, keliy |

89 | Actual bodies in heaven? | 1 John 3:2 | keliy | 213934 | ||
Dear Doc, You Wrote: "There is an erroneous teaching that is common today that believers will receive "new bodies" in glory. We believe in the resurrection of the body, not the creation of a brand new body." I am of the mind that our resurrected bodies will not have flesh that requires blood. We may be identical in appearance, but our cells will likely not be reproducing at the rate that replaces our entire body every seven years, and we will most likely not be dependent upon 14 psi of atmosphere that contains approx 19 percent oxygen. The following verses are what Chuck Smith used to support his views: For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself. ( Phl 3:20-21) "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, it doesn't yet appear what we're going to be, but we know that when He appears we are going to be like Him" (I John 3:2). And as is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, so shall we also bear the image of the heavenly (1Cr 15:48-49). But flesh and blood can't inherit the kingdom of heaven, so I've got to have a new body. A new body that will be fashioned like to the body of Jesus Christ, His spiritual heavenly body. That's what my new body will be like. (Chuck Smith) flesh and blood can't inherit the kingdom of heaven (1Cr 15:50) Now behold, I show you a mystery; We're not going to all sleep, [we're not all going to die,] but we're all going to be changed, in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality (1Cr 15:51-53). In anticipation, keliy |

90 | Were priests electrocuted? | 2 Tim 2:15 | keliy | 213462 | ||
Well no, I don't watch that network anymore either, it did not seem to be based on biblical truth. My friend who I consider to be a very strong Christian was raving about the show, and how the host of the show backed it up with science. There was something about the placement of the choice of metals that would cause enough electrical charge to kill the priest. I was just looking for some sort of response to give to my friend, but since this was first posted last Oct, I must apologize at this point for not remembering more of the details.

Thank you, Azure. No, I never pictured you as a feminist. (0: I guess what I was trying to say, was that your choice of words "ruling power" somehow rubbed me wrong. I guess you are right in the rule sense, but it is not with power that Adam possessed in himself, but he was to rule through the power that he received from God. Does this make more sense? We can relate this to king Solomon, who was offered anything he could possibly desire by God. Yet the one thing he asked for was the wisdom to rule God's people. -I think that was a request containing much wisdom, don't you? (o; joyful blessings, keliy |

Shalom pastor Beja, I would like to comment on some details in your post, if I may. In reading your words, I see that you refer to 1Cor 11:8 as a highly disputed passage. ( I agree, and think how these verses are played out may never be resolved to everyone's satisfaction) -Although God's word is very clear. But I see the basis for man's authority going beyond what you have mentioned in verse 8. Near the end of Gen 2, when God formed every kind of animal and bird, He brought them to Adam to choose a name for each one. This was prior to woman ever being mentioned. What this says to me is that God had a relationship with man, and He bestowed upon this man a knowledge of His will. So, this actually is saying less about who was 'older' per se, but brings into play the rank of the 'firstborn' and the relationship that the firstborn has with the father. It is the same reason that I see for why a woman is not allowed to have authority over man. It is no different with my older brother, and I would be wrong to try to exercise misplaced authority over him (not that I never try ;o) And it actually has less to do with gender, because I have an older sister too, and I defer to her out of respect, without feeling that I am disobeying Paul's command. This has nothing to do with the fall, or the creation, but as you said, Paul was setting forth what took place in creation prior to the fall. Just my viewpoint, and I thought I would add a little 'flavor' to your post. blessings, keliy |

95 | How Holy Is Marriage? | Matt 16:6 | keliy | 213410 | ||
Hi Robert, just a note about your pondering of why the term “gay” was invented. In my eyes, it is the enemy who tries to avert our eyes from the truth. 'Gay' has always been a readily accepted word in the English and the homosexual agenda is trying hard to become accepted by society. This is no different from the pro-choice agenda that uses the word fetus instead of baby. satan is the master of deception and these are just tools he uses because he knows them to be successful. As to your words about the afflictions, I can only say that my heart and my prayers are with you. Lord Bless keliy |

May I suggest you look into: Literal Translation of the Holy Bible - LITV -This is another 'translation' that aims for accuracy, but it also leaves much interpretation up to the reader. This is why it is always best to pray before we read the Bible. The argument of which ancient manuscript is superior is in itself an ancient argument. Primarily, we have two sources of documents to choose from when we attempt to translate from the original manuscripts. There are Alexandrian texts and Byzantine texts. Each have their own set of followers, (called 'prioritists') with their own justifications for their loyalties. One side goes with the case of majority (sheer number of documents in existence), and the other side proclaims age is the factor, (since 'theirs' was on the scene first.) The argument that the original manuscripts are without error is a moot point, since there are simply no original manuscripts in existence today Both sets of documents have errors, however. Yet many of these can be corrected by lining up with the 'other' set of documents. The argument needs to be studied at great length and is referred to as, Westcott and Hort vs. Textus Receptus. Which is Superior? That is up to personal preference, but myself, I think that they support each other and neither one is perfect. May our Lord Bless you in your search for His truth. keliy |

98 | Love for all, judge not anyone | OT general | keliy | 213173 | ||
Amen Brother John. Thanks for the illumination St.Paul makes also makes an awesome statement in Romans 8, where he declares: "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (ROM 8:2-4) Notice that the law was fulfilled in us. Paul is Not saying that it is fulfilled By us. Jesus is the only One who ever fulfilled all of the law. Jesus said, "I do always those things that please the Father." (John 8:29) and He asked the Jews one day, "Which of you convinceth Me of sin?" (8:46) "Which of you can find a fault in Me?" Then said Pilate to the chief priests and [to] the people, I find no fault in this man. (Luk 23:4) Truly we may find rest in Him. Thank you Jesus! Enjoy this 'Lord's Day' keliy |

99 | God always gets what he desires? T or F | 1 Tim 2:3 | keliy | 213158 | ||
Hi KcabmI4, You are asking some very good questions, Keep 'em coming :o) You are being clear enough to answer the question, but I might not give the right answer, so we are both human, ok? You ask why would God be having this desire? Well I would answer that since God had enough wisdom to give us freedom of choice, then it would grieve Him whenever we made the wrong choice. Also, (I am going out on a limb here,) words in physical nature are not the same concept in the spiritual realm. When God is said to have regrets, does it really mean what we think? The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. ( Gen 6:6) Since God knew what would happen, there must be some way to describe what God felt. Did God make a mistake? I believe that is against His nature. But for lack of a better word, the NASB uses 'sorry' So, I think you are right when you say how you understand it: "Because what Iam understanding is that there are then 2 apposing beleafs." Yes there are. This is called the debate between 'predestination', and 'free will' This has been debated before and will continue to be so. I say there is a little of both. How much of each is hard to say. But to claim that God uses only one to the exclusion of the other is unbiblical. God chooses people for His purpose, that is true. Examples would include King David, The race of Jews, and the Virgin Mary. Jesus used the Greek word 'eklektos to refer to those who were chosen by God. And He also told the Apostles, that He chose them, they did not choose Him. On the other hand, the Bible never directly tells us when or if people are predestined for hell. But God has used evil people to accomplish His holy purpose. In the Book of Romans, Paul says that evil Pharoah was 'raised up' to be an example of God's power. God also chose Jacob over Esau. God reserves His right to choose to have mercy on some more than others. John prophesies that God will turn over the kingdom of Israel to the beast to fulfill His Word. Yet the conundrum begins when we are told we have free will. In Deuterotomy God tells the people to choose to follow Him: "I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, (Deuteronomy 30:19) Joshua instructs likewise: "And if it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." (Joshua 24:15) There are other Old Testament verses telling us to choose to follow the Lord. Besides the verses that tell us to make choices, there are verses that say how we are to live. -Obviously, following this advice requires the ability to choose. Choice is not possible if everything is predestined. The Bible says that Jesus died for the sins of all and wants all to repent. I feel that we all are to exalt Jesus so that Father God may be glorified. I have given here a view of free will and of predestination. It is clear that the Bible does not favor either one. I believe that God fore-ordains history. I do not believe that He forces history. But, God puts people in places so that His will is done. There are also different aspects of God's will. Think about God's perfect will, then about His permissive will. I believe you will increase your understanding, but do not try to decipher everything at once. It all is in the Lord's time. joyful blessings to you and yours. keliy |

100 | God always gets what he desires? T or F | 1 Tim 2:3 | keliy | 213141 | ||
Hi KcabmI4, Thank you for your question. I saw this after I posted the 7 translations. My suggestion would be to look at the last definition for the Greek word "thelo" to take delight in, have pleasure I would definitely say that God would take delight in all men being saved. So then, that would be His desire. Yes, God can do as He pleases. Like Norton's reference to desiring a new motor for his boat. It would be simple for God to just command a motor to become new. God could also command us to love Him, but that would not be true love. In order for love to be true, there must be an alternative. Or else we would just be a race of talking heads. Without the capacity to decide, -can we possibly make a choice? Faith, and blessings to you. keliy |
