82 | willful nonpayment of debts? | John 14:15 | jeremiah1five | 241614 | ||
I think you err when you say that taxes are a debt. And then you apply school loans gym membership contracts, cell phone and home phone contracts hospital services and court judgments with taxes which confuses the issue. At the time of the founding of this Republic and the writing of the US Constitution the Colonies were at war with the British Crown and the inclusion of taxes in the Constitution (Art. 1 Sec. 1) was to fund the war against England "[A]nd to do other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do," and it should be said here that the inclusion of taxes in the Constitution was a necessity that may not have been supported by the people back home in the Colonies had there been no war. At any rate, it is a contradiction to equate freedom and independence with collection of taxes for any purpose. Taxes are not a debt but a levy, a fee or a charge for one purpose or another. Applying this to Biblical doctrine, if Christ was the Substitutionary sacrifice in my place and He paid the penalty for sin and God accepted that payment, then I am free of the debt (which requires my death). Still, I will one day die (if the LORD tarries) for I am still under the penalty for sin - death. But this is my default end for man was not created eternal, nor was I born eternal, and instead this alone shows my sinful-ness before God even in my justification (not in my sanctification.) If you make a vow to do such and such, then keep your promises (just as your Father keeps His.) But as citizen of this United States taxes are fees and charges that may or may not have won your support when the law was passed in the Document and still in effect. You can study law and the history of taxes in this country and sue the government that taxes are unconstitutional and violate the preamble to that same Constitution, for how you be free enjoying liberty when the application of a taz(es) has been levied against or upon you by the government? That is not freedom. Christ doesn't make you pay taxes in your justification, does He? And it is not impossible to know a heart. All you need to do is be born again, know the Scripture, and listen carefully what comes out of a persons mouth. It always betrays their heart. There comes a time in a believers life that prayer stops and DO[ing] what one already knows is what is necessary. There is a time for everything...a time to pray and a time not to pray...a time to forgive and a time to not forgive... Knowing those times are in the Bible. |

83 | Who is the "Counselor". John 14;15-17 | John 14:15 | jeremiah1five | 241615 | ||
Imagine that. Jesus Himself makes distinction between His disciples and the world. "The world cannot accept Him..." and yet what do Christians do? They invite the world to accept Him. That's called giving that which is holy to dogs, don't you think? There is no "other" Counselor. The Counselor is Christ Himself, and Christ in His people. |

85 | Jesus went to God immediately? | John 20:17 | jeremiah1five | 241494 | ||
If Jesus is [our] FirstFruit, and Paul's statement "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord," and NO MAN had ever been "present with the Lord" due to the curtain separating the Holy of Holies from unatoned man, it is reasonable to conclude that Jesus did indeed go to be with Father upon His death. Jesus' body was placed in the tomb, His human spirit and soul went to the Father upon His death. | ||||||
86 | Jesus went to God immediately? | John 20:17 | jeremiah1five | 241500 | ||
I appreciate your comment. No, it doesn't and I will provide the Scripture as to why it doesn't: 1 Peter 3:19 (KJV) 19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; The next passage gives us the time-frame in which to interpret what Peter is saying: 1 Peter 3:20 (KJV) 20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. Noah was a preacher of righteousness (or Righteousness), meaning He was a preacher of Christ (Messiah - Gen. 3:15), and Christ (or God's Righteousness.) While Noah was building the Ark he was also witnessing what was to come and declaring God to an unbelieving people. But ONLY Noah found grace in the eyes of God. Peter continues his thought in bringing up Noah and the events of his day: 1 Peter 3:21 (KJV) 21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: "The like figure" means Peter is making a comparison between Noah's preaching to a people in prison (in sin) and declares that it is not the washing of filth from the body that saves us (water baptism), but one of a good conscience (where salvation/redemption occurs - Spirit-baptism) as the only Person that can deal with a persons conscience is the Holy Spirit now in the world. |

87 | Jesus went to God immediately? | John 20:17 | jeremiah1five | 241509 | ||
This response goes to great lengths to omit the original passage of Scripture that says implicitly that Noah was the preacher of righteousness and that he preached while he was building the ark. Nowhere does it say in Scripture Jesus went anywhere except his body into the tomb and His soul-spirit to be with the Father, thereby "paving" the way as Firstfruits the same thing to happen to believers when they die, that is, body in the tomb/grave and the soul-spirit to be with God: "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." This wasn't the case while the curtain was still up and in place in the Holy of Holies in the Temple according to the instruction and command of the Lord for the Tabernacle. Jesus is FIRSTfruits. 1 Peter 3:18-20 (KJV) 18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 1 Peter 3:20 (GW) 20 They are like those who disobeyed long ago in the days of Noah when God waited patiently while Noah built the ship. In this ship a few people—eight in all—were saved by water. 1 Peter 3:20 (YLT) 20 who sometime disbelieved, when once the long-suffering of God did wait, in days of Noah--an ark being preparing--in which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water; 1 Peter 3:20 (BBE) 20 Who, in the days of Noah, went against God's orders; but God in his mercy kept back the punishment, while Noah got ready the ark, in which a small number, that is to say eight persons, got salvation through water: |

88 | Unatoned who die experience a sting/fire | John 20:17 | jeremiah1five | 241513 | ||
If one were to experience a sting upon death (1 Cor. 15:56) because of unatoned sin, what would it feel like after the sting is experienced constantly? Would it feel like a flame or fire? Would this correspond to what the rich man experienced being in the grave, as opposed to Lazarus whose sin was atoned by Christ and there was no "sting of death/sin" and when he died experienced comfort of being in the Presence of God? To put it more succinctly, if at the moment of death you feel a sting, brace yourself... You're not in Kansas anymore. |
||||||
89 | Unatoned who die experience a sting/fire | John 20:17 | jeremiah1five | 241517 | ||
I don't confuse "hell/hades" with the Lake of Fire, which is why I spell "hell" with the quotation marks because usually is understood that way by others as the eternal place. To me "hell" is only the grave, the place of "unseen" as defined by Strong's. When a believer dies post-cross their soul/spirit go to be with God hid in Christ. I prefer to see the story of Lazarus and the rich man as a true story, not a parable as Jesus uses proper names. |

92 | Doc, Are you dipping the Sop same as I? | 1 Cor 12:16 | jeremiah1five | 241786 | ||
Doc, are you the one with the button and muzzling the Holy Spirit in me on the several other thread/questions by restricting me and my gift from being exercised to the other members of the Body of Christ here? Is this Reformed theology to do this thing against Christ and Christ in me? If not you, then who? |

93 | Doc, Are you dipping the Sop same as I? | 1 Cor 12:16 | jeremiah1five | 241797 | ||
It seems that you are the one manipulating me. Tell me, Doc, have I done this to you that you would do this to me in response (Matt. 7:12)? Are you familiar with the term "spiritual dictatorship," Doc? Because that is what you are doing in muzzling me and the Holy Spirit in me and manipulating my comments and answers by restricting them from being read by others in the Body of Christ here. Your unjust application of "forum rules" and superseding the Word of God in treatment of those born again and in Covenant WITH GOD (not you) are ungodly acts against the Holy Spirit and this Christian. How long will you continue to manipulate me here at this fellowship, Doc? I have done nothing to you. And yet you choose to continue to offend me and Christ in me by your behavior and actions. Please stop. |

94 | The Truth | 2 Cor 13:8 | jeremiah1five | 241599 | ||

95 | Christ's Descent... | Eph 4:10 | jeremiah1five | 241512 | ||
Let's not forget the lesson in the story of the Lazarus and the rich man. Luke 16:30-31 (KJV) 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. They and we have the Scriptures. When Jesus died they had the Hebrew Scriptures and no one, according to Jesus, will be persuaded if one rose from the dead. Today, this rings true...Jesus rose from the dead and no one is persuaded. This, incidentally, is why it requires God to make the first move upon an individual for as Jesus said in John 3:19-20 John 3:19-20 (KJV) 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. Because of the BONDAGE of sin upon a person this prevents them from choosing the good as Christ said, "neither cometh to Him [the Light], because men love darkness RATHER THAN light, they NEITHER COME TO HIM." We must take these words of Christ as written else we call Him a liar if we refuse to believe His Word. |

96 | How do you share Jesus with others? | Eph 4:12 | jeremiah1five | 241552 | ||
I do not believe the so-called "Great Comission" is given to every member in the Body of Christ, except to those specifically called by Christ as it was given specifically to the eleven disciples. We are not all thumbs in the body of Christ. We are not all apostles in the body of Christ. I prefer to believe that we are all commanded to live as peaceably as possible with all men and to always be ready to give an answer to those that ask of the hope in you with reserved strength and reverent respect, and if they don't ask then to say nothing. Being taught correct Biblical Doctrine is important and necessary before the Lord use you, for the Spirit of Truth cannot use lies, error, or heresy when trying to bring increase to what you may be planting or watering. Depending. |

97 | How do you share Jesus with others? | Eph 4:12 | jeremiah1five | 241559 | ||
If I may...the qualifier is contained in Matthew 28:19 with the words "Go Ye," which in English is "YOU go" [speaking to the eleven disciples.] The Greek word translated "apostle" by the KJV translators means "commissioned" and I cannot receive that EVERYONE in the Body of Christ is an apostle with the same ministry and calling and command as the eleven. But if one is going to disobey grammatical rules then the same command also includes those so-called to go to Jerusalem, Judaea, Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the then-known world [east from the Mount of Olives]. But Paul said in the negative: "Are all apostles?" and the answer is no, we are not. Where is the prophet or pastor, or foot or ear, etc. Besides, the Word of God, the Scriptures are written by God and given to believers - not to the non-Covenant world at large. It's a family thing. There is also no distinction in the Word of God as "milk" or "meat." It is all nutritious to the born again of God. Since God opens eyes and ears and shuts eyes and ears as well as the mind, He determines who and when one comes to an understanding of His Truth. |

If I may...again, Jesus is speaking to the eleven disciples. This cannot be used to apply to EVERYONE in the body of Christ as the grammar in this verse reveals Jesus is emphatic in addressing the eleven. There are other verses that address the calling, command, and instruction to the various servants and ministries in the body of Christ, such as 1 Corinthians 12:4-6. In Acts 1:8 Jesus is speaking to the eleven disciples, and only to them: Acts 1:4-8 (KJV) 4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. 5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. 6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 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. 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. It would seem that it is only Jesus and the "eleven from Galilee: Acts 1:11 (KJV) 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. The ministry of apostle is not to establish churches. Being commissioned [apostle-ized] can include many different descriptions and services to the Lord. And a review of these ministries described in Ephesians 4:11-12 reveals that these ministries, gifts and callings are not to the world, but to the Church: Ephesians 4:11-12 (KJV) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: It doesn't say, "for the perfecting of the world, for the work of the world, for the edification of the world," and I could not in good conscience teach that these instructions and commands of the Holy Spirit is written in stone and be strict and dogmatic about these callings and ministries, for Paul was called to be apostle and his specific command and instruction was "to go far unto the Gentiles" |

Hello Doc. Now it's my turn. I'm not sure what you're asking me. Can you please be a bit more specific? |

100 | How do you share Jesus with others? | Eph 4:12 | jeremiah1five | 241574 | ||
Good Morning, Doc. And thank you for clarifying. Let me see if I understand what you are asking me: PART ONE (1) The "Great Commission" as it is called today was specifically given (as the original command is revealed and described in Matthew 28:19 and Acts 1:8) to the eleven disciples ONLY. This is how we are to first understand and interpret this command as the grammar makes distinction in "Go ye" (YOU eleven Go.) Yet in the same breath the Scriptures are given us from God for our training and admonition as well and that if God ever speaks to us He speaks to us through His Word. Having said that let me use Paul's experience in his call. On the Road to Damascus: Acts 9:15-16 (KJV) 15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: 16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. Here, God reveals in general to Ananias the call and command of Paul. Later, when Paul testifies before the crowd he gives more information about his specific call and command: Acts 22:21 (KJV) 21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles. This, I receive as an internal witness, that is, God spoke directly and specifically to Paul when he was born-again on the road to Damascus and immediately thereafter. But there was also an external witness concerning Paul: |
