81 | Do all little ones believe? | Matt 18:6 | retxar | 66605 | ||
Greetings charis, I gave the Mat 18:2 reference to show the context, framework, and circumstance in which Jesus was speaking in Mat 18:10 and Mat 18:14 (the verses Cyclist brought up). I gave the reference to show that when Jesus said what He said in Mat 18:10 and Mat 18:14 that the child He had called their attention to in Mat 18:2 was still “in the midst of them”. If not, where did the child go? If not, when did Jesus send him away? His words applied all who had representation in heaven, and this child was the perfect example. Jesus did not say this child was any different from any other child, so I have to conclude that His words apply to all since God is no respecter of persons (Mat 22:16, Act 10:34, Rom 2:11 Gal 2:6; Eph 6:9). We are taught to be the same way (no respecter of persons) in James 2. Please consider, In Jesus name, retxar |

Mat 18:2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them Jesus is using the little child He still has "in the midst of them" as an exapmple of those who who have representatives right in the throne of God! This would defiantly includes believers, and of coarse this child, and also children in general, as part of this group. retxar |

84 | Worthy of Honor but not of Respect | Eph 5:33 | retxar | 65754 | ||
Your original post was plenty clear to me and I don't understand why there was any misunderstanding on what you were saying. I guess I have been guilty of shooting 1st and reading latter myself at times, so I would just brush the criticism you received as that, if I were you. As far as your question of whether submissiveness requires a woman to accept physical abuse and live in an atmosphere of fear of life and health; absolutely not! retxar |

85 | Worthy of Honor but not of Respect | Eph 5:33 | retxar | 65700 | ||
The scripture you gave as reference (Eph 5:33) speaks of a great need that women have; her need to know that someone loves her and her need for the security that someone is hearing from God on her behalf. It also speaks of a great need that men have; for him to know that someone respects him and has the convidence in him to make the right decisions and for him to know he is trusted to hear from God on situations concerning his family. Eph 5:22 says “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.” This is a high calling! But the previous verse says believers are to also submit to one another. This is an even higher calling! A believing husband and wife are brothers and sister in Christ first. Being husband and wife is a relationship that will exist “until death do they part”, but being brothers and sisters in Christ is a relationship that will exist for eternity! Mutual submissiveness has to happen in different situations in order for a marriage to work. Based on Eph 5:22, wives are to submit to their husbands “as to the Lord”. This simply means she trust God to speak to her husband on her behalf. I know of no Godly women who’s husband is following the Lord and also loves her enough to die for her, having any problem at all with this! Man’s role as being the scriptural authority in the home is a role of strength and service, not dictatorship and dominance. The only way for a man to meet this God-given role and to have the right attitude of doing what God requires, is to consider it a duty, not a right. If the husband is not hearing from the Lord, it is obvious that God never intended for the wife to go against His Word to fulfil her role as submissive wife, but she should never question God’s perfect family model and the God-given office that God has given the husband in the home, whether he is fulfilling that role or not. God bless you! retxar |

86 | Joe, | Luke 23:43 | retxar | 64372 | ||
I thought you might have misunderstood what I said. I guess I was just looking down to vs20 which seems to describe the disobedient ones that missed the boat, not the eight who made it. I am in total agreement with what you said about no second chance after death, as the bible no where suggest this is possible. If Jesus did preach a message there (pre-hell), I don’t think it was one of salvation, but rather one to declare His victory and Lordship to those “under the earth” (Phi_2:10). retxar |

87 | Joe, | Luke 23:43 | retxar | 64312 | ||
Thanks Ed, One claification tho. I asked "Also, did Jesus not also preach to the wicked over on the "hot side" of Hades (1Pe 3:19)?" I quess that may have been worded funny, but what I meant to say was that 1Pe 3:19 seems to say to me that Jesus did indeed preach to those in the hot dry side of Hades. Maybe you thought I meant something different because your response was "Your exactly right Jesus did not preach to those on the hot dry side of Hades." Was that what you meant to say (which is actually disagreeing with what I meant to say), or did you indeed agree with what I said? retxar |

Ed, What about the teaching that Jesus, not wanting to be detained by Mary Magdalene (John 20:17), was on His way to present the blood sacrifice to the Father in heaven? If this be true, it would have occurred outside the 3 days. But as you have said, the blood presented upon the altar in heaven would have logically occurred before the captives were set free, so that would mean it would have occurred outside the 3 days also. Also, did Jesus not also preach to the wicked over on the "hot side" of Hades (1Pe 3:19)? thanks, retxar |

You're not wrong here my friend. Thank you for reminding me how much my sin hurts God. Your brief words here have really spoken to me bro. Thanks! retxar P.S. Don't worry about having to wait to get to heaven to get corrected for being wrong. We have plenty of correctors around here to insure that ain't go'na happen! |

Jesus’ And The Extent Of The Old Testament A statement by Jesus seemingly gives His belief in the extent of the Old Testament. Therefore I send you prophets, sages, and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town, so that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. Truly I tell you, all this will come upon this generation (Matthew 23:34-36). He mentions Abel and Zechariah as the first and last murder messengers of God that were murdered. Abel’s murder is mentioned in Genesis while Zechariah’s was in 2 Chronicles – the last Old Testament book in the Hebrew canonical order. The fact that these two are specifically mentioned is particularly significant. There other murders of God’s messengers recorded in the Apocrypha. Jesus does not mention them. This strongly suggests He did not consider the books of the Apocrypha as part of Old Testament Scripture as with the books from Genesis to 2 Chronicles. There Was More Testimony From Jesus Jesus gave further testimony of the extent of the Old Testament canon in the day of His resurrection. He said. How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! . . . And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself (Luke 24:25,27). Note Jesus’ emphasis on “all that the prophets had spoken.” Later He explained the extent of “all that the prophets had said.” He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms” (Luke 24:44). This is a reference to the threefold division of the Hebrew Scripture. They constitute “all that the prophets said.” There is no reference to the Apocrypha. It would not have been part of the threefold division of the Old Testament. Complete article at http://www.blueletterbible.org/faq/nbi/395.html retxar |

God actually did reject the Aprocypha as being uninspired. The Jews had already rejected the Aprocypha as uninspired before the birth of Jesus. Jesus never spoke of the Jews as being in error concerning its rejection. retxar |

92 | God is in control of every single atom? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 62042 | ||
OK, maybe partaking of the Holy Spirit does not have to mean the same as the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, as you say. I believe God can, and does, use the peace and joy unbelievers enjoy when they fellowship with Christians to draw them to Himself. However, this principle is a major stretch to apply to what Heb6 is talking about. Heb6 is speaking of true believers (whether hypothetical or actual). Otherwise how could a non-believer be renewed AGAIN unto repentance if no repentance has ever occurred? retxar |

Yes we agree, but how do you deal with the fact that the young mans decision went against what Jesus wanted him to do? (receive salvation and follow Him) | ||||||
96 | How can anyone be saved? | 1 Cor 2:14 | retxar | 61108 | ||
John, I agree totally with your conclusion of why this nice young man, who Jesus felt a special affection for, decided to, in the end, reject Jesus. It was, as you said, "He loved his wealth more than he loved Jesus". It was not that Jesus did not give him what he needed to believe. I also see, and you do too, that Jesus desired very much that this young man answer the call to salvation He had given him, and that Jesus was very sad when he decided, instead, to walk away. This young man was in the same boat as the ones Stephan spoke to before the Sanhedrin (Act 7:51). It was not that Jesus did not give him a genuine call to salvation. It was that he willfuly resisted and rejected God's call to salvation. retxar |

97 | How can anyone be saved? | 1 Cor 2:14 | retxar | 61067 | ||
Jesus gave a genuine offer of salvation to the rich young ruler (Mark 10:21), but him actually receiving it depended on the condition of his positive response to the gospel. Jesus provided forgiveness, and God really actually forgave those who crucified Him (Luke 23:34), but them actually receiving the gift of forgiveness, along with the gift of salvation, depended on the condition of their positive response to the gospel. Jesus made it clear to Nicodemus (John 3) that the plan of salvation He had laid out to him was dependent on the condition of his positive response to the gospel. Steven made it clear to the Sanhedrin that their rejection of the gospel was because they resisted the Holy Spirit (Act 7:51), not that He would not give them the faith to believe. “Whosoever believes in Him should not perish” Or was that “Whosoever should not perish believes in Him?” retxar |

No problem here bro. I understood exactly what you meant and no further explanation was needed for me. The point you brought up is something we (me) all need to examine as to whether we are pulling our own weight and not making others carry us. retxar |

Ed, I agree with your resolve that “where God guides, He provides". But I am not sure offering items for sell means a person is selling out their talents and cancels out any hope that their talents will be used for the Lord. Anything can be abused and manipulated, but it seems to me that if God blesses you spiritually thru someone’s ministry, that it would not be wrong for God to continue to bless you thru an item they might offer for purchase or donation and that the money they receive being considered as God’s provision, not money extorted from innocent victims. According to the law, the Jews were required to “pay for their seat” with the Jewish coin “half a shekel” (Exo 30:13). Since Roman currency was what was in current use, the money changers existed because of the required money exchange so the people would be paying their tribute with the proper coin as required by the law. There are several reasons why Jesus drove out the buyers, sellers, and money changers. In Mat 21:13 Jesus quotes the last part of Isa 56:7 which refers to the Temple as “a house of prayer for all nations.” He adds “you have made it a den of thieves” from Jer 7:11. The “all nations” part included the Gentiles. The outer court, where the buying and selling was taking place, was the only place that the Gentiles were allowed. This is where they met to pray. The buying and selling that was going on there was interfering with their worship. The “den of thieves” comes from the fact that the money changers and those selling the “acceptable” sacrifices were extorting money from the people, and at this time of Passover it was very intense. The Temple of Jesus’s day was also a place that God had placed a special glory upon (Hag 2:9 ). This is much different than any church building we have today. So the 3 reasons I see for Jesus clearing the Temple: 1. What was going on was interfering with worship. 2. What was going on was crooked and dishonest. 3. What was going on was violating rules that God had established for the Temple. Of these 3, I think we are still bound by 1 and 2 in the church of today. If we insist that the church building of today has the same rules and regulations as the Temple of Jesus’s day, you would have found me in the parking lot praying today, because I could not even have gone inside. God bless you bro, retxar |
