81 | forgiveness confirmed? | 1 John 1:1 | JRdoc | 61122 | ||
Salvation is of the Lord! Salvation is NOT an emotion it is a relationship. My guess is something happened that you are not happy with and now Satan has filled your heart with doubt? He is good at that. He desires us to react and relax in our emotions instead of faith in Christ ALONE. Go to 1 John. This book is written to give you assurance. Read and "study" it. The good news is this. You came and posted it! Someone who has committed the unpardonable sin (which BTW is only for the 1st century Jew IMHO) does not get convicted by the Holy Spirit of sin--they are lost--they have no interest in God....you are revealing different fruit...fruit ripe with repentance. |

82 | inheavenseyes, why 2300 years? | Matt 24:29 | JRdoc | 61118 | ||
Great! He is returning, we agree. Now to the text: “Days” is literally “evening-morning”; cf. the “vision of the evenings and mornings” in v. 26. Some interpreters understand it simply as a reference to the evening and morning sacrifices as separate offerings (cf. Ex. 29:38–42). On this basis it would represent 1150 days, but these paired sacrifices were traditionally considered a single offering. Others understand it as simply an expression for 2300 days. Since the persecutions by Antiochus IV could be linked with any one of a number of incidents beginning as early as 171 b.c. and ending with the rededication of the temple in 164 b.c., it is difficult to say which understanding of the phrase is to be preferred. The multiple of the number twenty-three may simply be symbolic for a fixed period as in extrabiblical apocalypses (cf. the “sixty-nine” [23 x 3] weeks in 9:25, 26). New Geneva study Bible. 1997, c1995 (electronic ed.) (Da 8:14). Nashville: Thomas Nelson. These are 2,300 evenings/mornings, with no “and” in between, which refers to 2,300 total units or days. Genesis 1:15 does use “and,” i.e., “Evening and morning, one day.” The period runs to about 61/3 years of sacrificing a lamb twice a day, morning and evening (Ex. 29:38,39). The prophecy was precise in identifying the time as that of Antiochus’ persecution, ca. Sept. 6, 171 b.c. to Dec. 25, 165/4 b.c. After his death, Jews celebrated the cleansing of their holy place in the Feast of Lights, or Hanukkah, in celebration of the restoration led by Judas Maccabeus. MacArthur, J. J. (1997, c1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed.) (Da 8:14). Nashville: Word Pub. |

It appears to me that all your answers revolve around the faulty assumption of dispensational theology? Have you ever considered the A-Mil version of the End TImes? | ||||||
85 | tearing of clothes | 2 Kin 19:1 | JRdoc | 61085 | ||
Tearing of clothes was "often" a sign of grief (2 Kings 6:30) or of sorrowful repentance (Joel 2:12-13). There are several other places as well such as 2 Sam 3:31-32, Job 1:20-22. Additionally, Acts 14:14 where their tearing of clothes was a way of showing strong aversion to blasphemy. What is the specific purpose of your study here? | ||||||
86 | what does the burning bush symbolize? | Exodus | JRdoc | 61083 | ||
A real bush was illumined with fire--supernatural fire. This reveals that God is transcendent. It also reveals that He revealed Himself in the bush to call Moses to the ministry He was/had appointed him to. God reveals Himself today as well to His own elect. As in salvation God initiates His relationship to His own elect first! |
