81 | Triune gods began in babylon? | 1 Thess 5:23 | meusing | 57324 | ||
Paul KNEW that Jesus IS God. Phil 2:6 Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained, 7 But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being. Rom 9:5 whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to flesh, He being God over all, blessed forever. Amen. [literal translation] Paul also knew that the Father was God : 1 Cor 15:24 After that comes the end (the completion), when He delivers over the kingdom to God the Father after rendering inoperative and abolishing every [other] rule and every authority and power. 25 For [Christ] must be King and reign until He has put all [His] enemies under His feet. [Ps. 110:1.] 26 The last enemy to be subdued and abolished is death. 27 For He [the Father] has put all things in subjection under His [Christ's] feet. But when it says, All things are put in subjection [under Him], it is evident that He [Himself] is excepted Who does the subjecting of all things to Him. [Ps. 8:6.] 28 However, when everything is subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will also subject Himself to [the Father] Who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all [be everything to everyone, supreme, the indwelling and controlling factor of life]. I suppose you will try to tellus that Paul did not belive that the Spirit of the Holy God is God. How does acknowledging that Jesus is Lord and God, that the Father is God and that the Holy Spririt is God be a 'self-inficted wound' . Well, I supose it would be to someone who does not believe that Jesus is LORD. But He is and Paul acknowledges the fact. |

You must remember that the songs are just that songs, poetry. They use poetic language to express their concepts. And, as you will note psalm 111 is a song of Praise to God for His works. The focus is to stir up praise to God. As each verse or half vers begins with the next letter (and in Ps 119 - the begining of each section) we can see that praise to God fills up the entire alphabet. As He is the Great King, the Alpha and Omega, all His woors and ords are consistant. |

84 | while protecting myself from injustice | Matt 10:16 | meusing | 56427 | ||
If we were truely wise we would NOT hurt others' feelings. 1. Properly, having knowledge; hence, having the power of discerning and judging correctly, or of discriminating between what is true and what is false; between what is fit and proper, and what is improper; as a wise prince; a wise magistrate. Solomon was deemed the wisest man. But a man may be speculatively and not practically wise. Hence, 2. Discrete and judicious in the use or applications of knowledge; choosing laudable ends, and the best means to accomplish them. This is to be practically wise. Gen 41. |

85 | Who were Cain's enemies? | Gen 4:14 | meusing | 56423 | ||
John Gill pointed out: that is, some one, the first that should meet him, for he could be slain but by one; so odious he knew he should be to everyone, being under such marks of the divine displeasure, that his life would be in danger by whomsoever he should be found: and this being near an hundred and thirty years after the creation of man, see #Ge 4:25 Ge 5:3 there might in this time be a large number of men on earth; Adam and Eve procreating children immediately after the fall, and very probably many more besides Cain and Abel, and those very fruitful, bringing many at a birth and often, and few or none dying, the increase must be very great; and we read quickly after this of a city being built, #Gen 4:17. Cain seems to be more afraid of a corporeal death than to have any concern about his soul, and the eternal welfare of it, or to be in dread and fear of an eternal death, or wrath to come; though some think the words should be rendered in a prayer (x), "let it be that anyone that findeth me may kill me"; being weary of life under the horrors of a guilty conscience.

Mea Culpa, I thought we were talking about what Jesus taught. Yes, baptism is mentioned after verse 23 but in reference to John. And when he was questioned about his baptism he spoke of Christ and that how (John 3:36) The one believing into the Son has everlasting life ...[Literal translation] or He that believes on the Son has life eternal, ...

No, I am saying that those who are born again, follow thier Lord in baptism. Paul, in Rom 6:4 was taking to baptised, born again believers, drawing their attention to Christ and the sanctification we have in Him as a result of being justified, as explained in chapter 5. | ||||||
88 | Isn't this verse saying that we rise to | Rom 6:4 | meusing | 56328 | ||
It is important when reading the Bible, not to read into it what is not there. There is no reference in John 3:5 to baptism. Remember, Jesus was talking to Nicodemus, a religious ruler. In answer to his question Jesus compares physical birth with spiritual birth. He shows that the action of the Spirit is not physical and that EVERYONE who believe in Him is saved. There is no mention of baptism anywhere in the chapter. Baptism was and is the evidence of the new birth. |

If Jesus is our Lord and Master, it is our duty and joy to obey Him not give Him orders. As we focus on Him, all things else fall away. We do things in order to please Him. He died because of our vices. Do we really want to cause Him pain? He is there for us to help us overcome them. It is our obligation to abide in Him. |

90 | john 15:26 Who is the comforter | John 15:26 | meusing | 55287 | ||
Jesus tells us that the Comforter is the Holy Spirit : John 15:26 But when the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) comes, Whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth Who comes (proceeds) from the Father, He [Himself] will testify regarding Me. [Amilified] John Gill said : Joh 15:26 - But when the Comforter is come,.... Or advocate, the Spirit of God; who was to be, and has been an advocate for Christ, against the world, and for his people, against all their enemies; and who as he was to reprove, and did reprove the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, in favour of Christ, so he was to assist his people, and plead their cause, and help them, in vindication of themselves, before the princes of the earth, as he did: and who also was to act, and has acted the part of a "comforter" to them, under all the hatred and violence they have met with from the world; by taking and applying the things of Christ to them; by shedding the love of God in them; by applying the promises of the Gospel to them; by witnessing their adoption, and sealing them up to the day of redemption: whom I will send unto you from the Father; visibly, as on the day of Pentecost, in cloven tongues as of fire; and invisibly into their hearts, by the secret influence of his light and grace; which mission, as it suggests no inferiority in the spirit, either to the Father or the Son; since the same spirit with the Father, was the sender of Christ; so it is expressive of the equal deity of Christ, and his joint power and authority with the Father: even the Spirit of truth; who is the true Spirit, truth itself; yea, the true God, with the Father and Son; the Spirit of him who is truth; the dictator of the Scriptures of truth; who leads his people into all truth; and is the Spirit of truth, as he is a witness or testifier of Christ, hereafter promised: which proceedeth from the Father; Christ is not content to describe him by his work and office, as, an, advocate and comforter, and as the Spirit of truth: and from his mission by him from the Father; all which shows his usefulness and authority; but also from his nature and essence, which is the same with the Father's; and from his peculiar personal and distinctive character, expressed by his proceeding from the Father; and which is mentioned, as what is distinct from his mission by Christ, from the Father before spoken of; and designs no other, than the eternal, ineffable, and continued act of his procession, from the Father and the Son; in which he partakes of the same nature with them, and which personally distinguishes him from them. The ancient Jews (x) spoke of him just in the same language; "the Spirit of God", in Gen_1:2; they say is the Holy Spirit, îàìäéí ãðôé÷, "which proceedeth from God": very pertinently does Christ take notice of this his character here, when he was about to speak of him as his testifier: he shall testify of me: of his deity and sonship, of his incarnation, of his being the Messiah, of his sufferings and death, of his resurrection and ascension, of his exaltation at the right hand of God, and of his ordination to be the Judge of quick and dead; all which he bore testimony to, by the gifts bestowed upon the apostles, and the great grace that was upon them all; by the signs, wonders, and divers miracles, by which the Gospel of Christ was confirmed; and by the power, influence, and success, which attended the preaching of it every where. Thus he testified of Christ, against the blaspheming Jews, and persecuting Gentiles, to the reproof and confusion of them; and he testified of him to the apostles, and all true believers, to their great joy and comfort, and to the support of them, under all the malice and hatred of the world.

He did not say his offspring would kill him, but his younger brothers. as John Gill pointed out: that is, some one, the first that should meet him, for he could be slain but by one; so odious he knew he should be to everyone, being under such marks of the divine displeasure, that his life would be in danger by whomsoever he should be found: and this being near an hundred and thirty years after the creation of man, see #Ge 4:25 Ge 5:3 there might in this time be a large number of men on earth; Adam and Eve procreating children immediately after the fall, and very probably many more besides Cain and Abel, and those very fruitful, bringing many at a birth and often, and few or none dying, the increase must be very great; and we read quickly after this of a city being built, #Gen 4:17.

93 | who does "Sons of God" refer to? | Gen 6:2 | meusing | 48576 | ||
As reported before : Adam Clarke wrote : There were giants in the earth] µylpn nephilim, from lpn naphal, "he fell." Those who had apostatized or fallen from the true religion. The Septuagint translate the original word by gigantev, which literally signifies earth-born, and which we, following them, term giants, without having any reference to the meaning of the word, which we generally conceive to signify persons of enormous stature. But the word when properly understood makes a very just distinction between the sons of men and the sons of God; those were the nephilim, the fallen earth-born men, with the animal and devilish mind. These were the sons of God, who were born from above; children of the kingdom, because children of God. Hence we may suppose originated the different appellatives given to sinners and saints; the former were termed gigantev, earth-born, and the latter, agioi, i.e. saints, persons not of the earth, or separated from the earth. While John Gill wrote : That is, in the days before the sons of God took the daughters of men for wives, in such a general manner as before declared, or before the declension and apostasy became so universal; even in the times of Jared, as the Arabic writers (n) understand it, who say that these giants were begotten on the daughters of Cain by the children of Seth, who went down from the mountain to them in the days of Jared, see #Ge 5:20 the word "Nephilim" comes from a word which signifies to fall; and these might be so called, either because they made their fear to fall upon men, or men, through fear, to fall before them, because of their height and strength; or rather because they fell and rushed on men with great violence, and oppressed them in a cruel and tyrannical manner; or, as some think, because they fell off and were apostates from the true religion, which is much better than to understand them of apostate angels, whom the Targum of Jonathan mentions by name, and calls them Schanchazai and Uziel, who fell from heaven, and were in the earth in those days: and also after that, which shows that the preceding clause respects giants in former times, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, came into their houses and chambers, and lay with them: and they bare [children] unto them, or giants unto them, as may be supplied from the former clause; for the sense is, as there were giants before this general defection, so there were at this time, when there was a mixture of the Cainites and Sethites; which were the offspring of the sons of God, or posterity of Seth, mixing with the daughters of men, or the posterity of Cain; for this is not to be understood after the flood, as Aben Ezra, Ben Melech; and so they are described in the following words, the same [became] mighty men; for tallness and strength, for power and dominion, for tyranny and oppression: which [were] of old: like those that were of old before; or who in after times were spoken of, as in the days of old: men of renown, or "of name" (o); whose names were often made mention of, both for their size and for their wickedness; they were much talked of, and extolled for their exploits, and even wicked ones: they were famous men, or rather infamous; for some men get a name in the world, not for their goodness, but for their greatness, and sometimes for their great wickedness; which sense is countenanced by what follows: that there were giants in these early times is confirmed by the testimony of many Heathen writers; such were the Titans that made war against Saturn, begotten by Ouranus, who were not only of bulky bodies, but of invincible strength, as Apollodorus (p) relates, and Berosus (q) speaks of a city about Lebanon, called Enos, which was a city of giants, who were men of vast bodies, and of great strength, inventors of arms and music, were cannibals, and exceedingly debauched.

94 | Was Mary a virgin her whole life | Matt 1:25 | meusing | 48449 | ||
It is not the church we go to that saves us, whether Catholic or Protestant, it is Jesus Christ. The 'church' is an assembly of sinners redeemed by the blood of Christ. There are many tempermants, some feel worshipful in a liturgical setting, others feel worsip in a more free service, still it is not the service or litergy that saves us. If the leadership of the assembly denys the basics of the birth, death, resurrection, assention and coming of Jesus then that assembly has rejected the blood of Christ and we should look for another assembly of blood bought Christians who meet to worship God. That might be a little disjointed, but if you feel that you can worship Christ in the Baptist church ok, If that church leadership however starts to deny Jesus then it is ok to fellowship with other Christians where-ever they are. |

Since God is Good, all that God creates is good. The problem with creating a being with free will is that it opens the posibility of rebelion. To love is to open oneself up to the pain of rejection. God can no more create evil than the sun can shine darkness. evil is the absence of good just as darkness is the absence of light. |

God Bless. Pasters are to be dispensers of faith, not unbelief. 2 Cor 3:6 [It is He] Who has qualified us [making us to be fit and worthy and sufficient] as ministers and dispensers of a new covenant [of salvation through Christ], not [ministers] of the letter (of legally written code) but of the Spirit; for the code [of the Law] kills, but the [Holy] Spirit makes alive.

97 | Is the Bible filled with TRUTH? | Bible general Archive 1 | meusing | 47899 | ||
I am sorry that your pastor has chosen to deny the Lord Jesus by denying His words. Here is what the Greek scholars say about the passage where Jesus promised the thief on the croos that he would be with Him that day in Paradise: (as you can see, the King James does translate that verse acurately.) A. T. Robertson wrote : Today shalt thou be with me in Paradise (Semeron met' emou esei en toi paradeisoi). However crude may have been the robber’s Messianic ideas Jesus clears the path for him. He promises him immediate and conscious fellowship after death with Christ in Paradise which is a Persian word and is used here not for any supposed intermediate state; but the very bliss of heaven itself. ------------------- your paster's other statment about 'My Father and I are one' meaning that they are like one just shows that he does not know his Greek. He is just rejecting the truth of God's word to fit his own unbelief. Again the Greek scholars verify that the KJV translated THAT verse accuratly: One (hen). Neuter, not masculine (heis). Not one person (cf. heis in Gal 3:28), but one essence or nature. ... The Pharisees had accused Jesus of making himself equal with God as his own special Father (Joh 5:18). Jesus then admitted and proved this claim (Joh 5:19-30). Now he states it tersely in this great saying repeated later (Joh 17:11, Joh 17:21). Note hen used in 1Co 3:3 of the oneness in work of the planter and the waterer and in Joh 17:11, Joh 17:23 of the hoped for unity of Christ’s disciples. This crisp statement is the climax of Christ’s claims concerning the relation between the Father and himself (the Son). They stir the Pharisees to uncontrollable anger. ---- I like what John Gill had to say : I and my Father are one. Not in person, for the Father must be a distinct person from the Son, and the Son a distinct person from the Father; and which is further manifest, from the use of the verb plural, "I and my Father", åóìåí, "we are one"; that is, in nature and essence, and perfections, particularly in power; since Christ is speaking of the impossibility of plucking any of the sheep, out of his own and his Father's hands; giving this as a reason for it, their unity of nature, and equality of power; so that it must be as impracticable to pluck them out of his hands, as out of his Father's, because he is equal with God the Father, and the one God with him. |

98 | Is the Bible filled with TRUTH? | Bible general Archive 1 | meusing | 47882 | ||
Our salvation is not based on a translation of the Scriptures but the truth of the death and resurrection of Jesus which is proclaimed in all translations. Remember we have the Holy Spirit bearing witness to us that we are the children of God. John 20:31 But these are written (recorded) in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of God, and that through believing and cleaving to and trusting and relying upon Him you may have life through (in) His name [through Who He is].

99 | Different | John 3:16 | meusing | 47879 | ||
You asked "Am I his seed and did he come for me?" Neither. our sins seperated us from God. God sent His Son Jesus 'so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.' Eph 1:4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love Eph 1:5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, Eph 1:6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. Eph 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace |

Samuel's first son was named Joel. It is a sad commentary that even with a Godly father, his sons did not walk in his ways. That is the reason the people cried out for a king to lead them. |
