You are right, you are not sure. I wasn’t asking to know about the various usage and arguments for and against the JEPD Documentary Hypothesis. The use of words and their meaning by the Hebrews in scripture, is sufficient for bible study isn’t it? In reference to Bible, its not relevant what those who didn’t document the scriptures, or write them down, meant by their use of words, does it? What is relevant, is what the word means to those who wrote down the scripture. Which in this case is the Hebrews and their use of words thereof. |

If you want a deeper explanation of words like “YHWH” (Yahweh) and “Elohim” (Creator and Judge). There are Jewish web sites that provide explanation for the Hebrew language and words used in the original text in Genesis. | ||||||
85 | His diff relation to Creation Gen ch 1-2 | Genesis | DPMartin | 233791 | ||
It is not uncommon in the Christian community to know that Yahweh is Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is Yahweh and Yahweh is spelled YHWH in English as a direct translation and is pronounced in English Yahweh and in the (KJV) is written LORD. If you don’t know that Jesus is the Word of God and that the Word of God is LORD of all creation then you don’t know the LORD God of Israel. For God is known through His Word, our LORD Jesus Christ. Read the first few verses in the Gospel according to John. John explains the Word of God. | ||||||
86 | prayers for healing | Bible general Archive 4 | DPMartin | 233765 | ||
Jwpawpaw A lot of people say and even preach what you have said as far as repetitive or continuously praying for something, would be a lack of faith, which would make some think that is the reason why a prayer isn’t answered. No doubt the Lord looks to Faith with Grace, but consider this. If you where in combat and constantly day in and day out under attack and ducking in to a fox hole. Would you pray just once the first day? How many times would you be asking the Lord to deliver you and protect you, ask for the same thing? And you would certainly do so as long as you where under attack, and you were mortality was threatened. Would that be a lack of faith, or just knowing who to rely on, or ask? Therefore, how is this any different then some one that is ill day in and day out, and prays until he is healed? If you do not have, you continue to look to receive, but once received, you thank and do not look to receive any more. |

87 | eternal death? | Matt 25:41 | DPMartin | 233764 | ||
I don’t find anywhere in scripture where it says “eternal death”, so the term “eternal death” isn’t a scriptural term. Why do you ask? If you are asking, is it permanent separation from the Presence of the Lord, then yes. And where ever the Lord is, these referred to, will not be. When the Son of God came into the world the first time, (Jesus Christ) none believers were permitted to be His Presence and remain in the world for our sake. Not so, the next time. | ||||||
88 | Enoch and Elijah didn't see God yet? | John 3:13 | DPMartin | 233763 | ||
The Lord states that no one of the place, earth, meaning us peoples, has ascended to the place, Heaven. He, the Lord Jesus has come from the place, Heaven, into the place, earth, meaning flesh which is made of earth. And note that at the time the Lord said this, it is true, but after His resurrection that which came from Heaven descended into the earth and ascended in to Heaven. Hence those born of Holy Spirit, which is from the place known as Heaven, came into the place that is of earth, flesh, and shall ascend in to Heaven as Jesus did. Jn:3:13: And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. Also note that those born of the Holy Spirit that Heaven is in them. (Lk:17:21) and is at hand (Lk:10:11, Mk:1:15)for anyone else. The OP was asking about seeing God. And used this verse (Jn:3:13) to question whether or not anyone has seen God, such as Enoch or Elijah, because no one has ascended into Heaven, and pointing to Moses, shows that ascending into Heaven according to scripture wasn’t required to see God. The subject is about seeing God, or whether God has been seen or not. As Moses has experienced, ascension into Heaven isn’t required to see God, when God comes to us, and where we are. |

89 | Enoch and Elijah didn't see God yet? | John 3:13 | DPMartin | 233749 | ||
Note that what you are saying isn’t what the Lord said here: Jn:3:13: And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. He said no one has ascended in to heaven, He didn’t say, no one has seen the Lord or the Lord God. Moses seen the Lord God’s back, but he didn’t ascend into Heaven to do so. |

91 | Will we see God when we die? | Heb 12:14 | DPMartin | 233747 | ||
Every soul shall stand before the Lord God. So, yes, after one passes on at some place and or time. What men think to interpret themselves is one thing, but what is for sure in scripture, all will answer before the Lord God their Creator and Judge. | ||||||
92 | how is the Baptism of the Holy spirit a | John 7:39 | DPMartin | 233746 | ||
Baptism with the Holy Spirit is not a separate experience for those who are born again (Holy Spirit), what do you think baptism in the Holy Spirit is? Just as when you come into the world, you are born into the world, the place of sin, human nature that never changes, a full saturation thereof. Being born of the Holy Spirit is to be born into the Presence of God that He dwell in you, the place of Righteousness, not human nature. The Kingdom of Heaven is a place one must be born into, just as one must be born into the world to be in the world. | ||||||

94 | His diff relation to Creation Gen ch 1-2 | Genesis | DPMartin | 233728 | ||
In the first verse God is, but His Presence is not in creation. In the sec. verse God by His Spirit (His Presence) moving upon the face of the waters, becomes present in His creation therefore creation is not only in His presence but God is present in His creation. Now that God’s Presence is in creation, He speaks and God makes His Presence known in creation, and because there was light, creation responded to it’s creator, letting light be, according to it’s creator’s word. Hence the Creator and Judge is known through His Word in and from His Presence. Through out the first chapter, it is clear; God said, what He said is done, and God sees that it is good. No one else sees that it is good, God does, for only God is good. Who or what else can know good unless it Be God or of God. If you notice in the first chapter only God is mentioned then after creation is complete then the “LORD” is mentioned. In the first chapter of Gen. in Hebrew it is Elohim, meaning Creator and Judge (God). The “LORD”, (YHWH: meaning Yahweh) and we now know that Yahweh is the Lord Jesus Christ, the Word of God (Son of God) come into the flesh. (Son of man) What is to be understood is all that there is, knows God through His Word, and it is in His Presence is His Word good, for of God in God’s Presence is God’s Word not only of, but from. And also by resting on the seventh day, it can be understood that God (Elohim) lets His relationship between Him, and His creation rest on and in His Word. |

95 | Man's understanding is not always God's | Prov 21:2 | DPMartin | 233641 | ||
EdB "These differences aren't the problem the problem is the willingness of Christians to accept differences and not seek the absolute truth. Is it because they don't believe there is an absolute truth, or that they are the only ones to possess that truth?" That’s correct, the only One that is the Truth is Jesus Christ, the Word of God. If neither person has a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, then neither person can seek the Lord for the Truth of the matter. |

96 | Man's understanding is not always God's | Prov 21:2 | DPMartin | 233640 | ||
Yes, the five people can agree because the agreement of God fulfilled to all mankind is Jesus Christ, which is God’s choice for mankind. It is man’s choice to hold on to his own theologies or ideas. Fools agree to disagree, the wise agree with, and in Jesus Christ, and agree that Jesus Christ is correct, and the correct interpretation/fulfillment. He is the Word of God come into the flesh, He has to be correct about the Word of God. If the five disregard their own, and agree that Jesus Christ is correct at all times on all matters, then they understand the Way that is in the Kingdom of Heaven. Its simple since Jesus is correct, and they disagree, then they are incorrect, because what is correct is Jesus Christ. Now if you are saying those who want to disagree will not change, then what they value is their want (for whatever reason) the Lord God sees their hearts. It is usually God that changes the want of men by placing them in circumstances and situations beyond their control. If you look to men you will be disappointed, look to the Lord Jesus Christ, He is Faithful to the end, and forever. |

97 | Man's understanding is not always God's | Prov 21:2 | DPMartin | 233632 | ||
EdB The testimony is in the Lord Jesus in one’s self, no where else. Its not required to be in some one else, for us, or with some one else, for us, its is to be with ourselves in unity in Christ. Consider, in the Kingdom of Heaven what is there that would be in disagreement with the Lord our God and be in Heaven, or remain in Heaven? My friend in Christ, it is all about the agreement fulfilled in Christ Jesus, and agreement in and with Jesus Christ. What? Did you think it should be easy? Again, it is Righteousness that delivers from death, not human nature. The fallowing is not a metaphor or a expression of pleasant affections, it is a necessity. Ps:18:1: I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. 2: The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. 3: I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 4: The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. 5: The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. 6: In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. Of which men, who know the Lord will surly experience. |

EdB Yes you’re right about that, it is not the denominations or theologies we have to worry about though. Jesus responded to that and the Apostles dealt with that also. I do believe the Wisdom of God in this is that He allows men to have what they chose, and the results thereof, but He never lets it get confused with the Truth of God, and those who seek it. |

BradK thanks for the reply Augustine (a great man for sure) may have used theology to have "Rational discussion respecting the deity" but rational to who? Talk to and atheist and the existence of God is irrational, but yet the atheist insists on reason, that is in his view rational (or logical). And talk to a true theist and spirit, Holy Spirit, Presence of God in God’s creation and knowing God is irrational, but again the theist who will state that there is a God, will state that knowing God and or His Presence in existence is irrational and is without reason or logic. The location to find such would be philosophy, and theorizing using reason (or logic) in what is reasonable in their own view. The difference is that the priest (Rv:1:6, Rv:5:10, Ex:19:6) is to know God, having a relationship with God, in creation in the world that is shared with the priest’s neighbor. Of which there is no theology required to be fulfilled. As Apostle Paul has said who had much experience with the Greek attitude of reason required. 1Cor:1:22: For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 1Cor:1:24: But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Hence Christ is the Power and Wisdom of God, not reason nor rational for it is also said by the Apostle Paul that God chose the foolishness of preaching rather than the reasoning of men. (1Cor:1:21) And it would be appropriately so because if it requires reasoning of men or rational of men to be saved, then men would declare their own salvation, and fool themselves in to believing they can save themselves and keep themselves from death. The Lord God is not required to meet anyone’s reason or reasoning in order to be, and do as He sees fit. One should hope one can present reason why the Lord God should let him live in God’s Presence, and the Truth is the reason the Lord God would, is something the Lord God provided in Jesus Christ. Therefore reasons and reasoning is not required for salvation, it is Righteousness that delivers from death (Prov:10:2, Prov:11:4), of which is only of God. Needless to say, 1Cor:1-2 is pocked full of what Paul has to say about Wisdom of God versus wisdom of men. The study or science which treats of God, His nature and attributes, and His relations with man and the universe; ‘the science of things divine’; divinity. Maybe interesting for those who do not know the Lord God, speculating like news media before an anticipated event or conclusion, but its speculation at best. The True God, is revealed with those He is with, and so is His nature and attributes, of which there is no speculation only belief and trust. Don’t believe me? Then look at the Bible, a documentation of a people experiencing the Presence of the Almighty with them. |

EdB If I might add: It seems to me that theology is for the theist or deist that believes there is a God but doesn’t know the Lord God, or believes God can not be known. As we know, religion is just a system of belief and not all systems of belief are a religion. The Tora is a system of belief, or even a trust, not a religion, nor a theology. Given by the Word of God, delivered by the hand of Moses to a people to come into agreement with the Lord God in. The Tora and the prophets is what is fulfilled in Christ, and therefore Christ is the interpretation thereof, that is acceptable before the Almighty. And if one thinks that what is known today about the gospel message wasn’t known then, I would disagree, read the last verses of Palm 17 and you can see that King David knew and understood more about what Jesus came into the world and did, then most who call themselves Christian. Its not what one calls himself, or chooses to agree with, it is what the Lord God calls you, and has given for you to be in agreement with Him in. Christianity has become like a grocery store, where there is a selection of theologies to chose from on the shelf, hence a God of their approval as they see God ought to be. When it was the Tora that was given by the Lord God. It is looking to Jesus Christ as the interpretation/fulfillment of the agreements between the Creator and Judge of all things, and mankind, that units the people of God. Not what men think about God. The knowledge and understanding, is revelation, that is of God. |
