Hi Velda Welcome to the forum! I don't like to be one to answer a question with a question. Please forgive me for my curiosity. But where do we get the idea, that Jesus, "couldn't have" returned to Heaven? God bless John |

Hi Velda, Well, Velda, in that case, I must be legally blind too! Because I don't see where we are (reminded) that He (could have) returned to Heaven, at (that time), ether! Maybe, someone else can help? Personally; I would question the questioner, as to, what they mean by, that, he (could have) sense He obviously, (could have) done, anything He wanted, any time He wanted! Good question though...... I think?... God bless John |

Hi Velda You are very welcome! It is a challenging question, (it really made me think) at least for me it's challenging! I'm curious to know though, what is the topic of the study you are engaged in? What are the goals of the study? And, speaking of study, I hope you stay around, and study with us. God bless John |

Good point, Brother BradK, also, though it requires a bit of speculation on our part, The Voice of God, from the cloud, giving His, unquestionable approval. ? Just two cents.... God bless John |

Ah! That does bring it to focus! Some say the grossest understatement of all time, is when peter said, "Lord it is good for us to be here!" :-) | ||||||

Hi parpar Thanks for your response. Well, if, (John 6:62) is in reference to the original question, ("During the transfiguration how are we reminded that he could have returned to Heaven at that time?") I'd have to say it doesn't really support it. (John 6:62) is, I believe, in reference to His actual ascension. There's really no reference to His ascension at the transfiguration found in matthew 17:1-8 and I think, It would have to be assumed that, it somehow could be that, He (couldn't) have ascended, in the first place, in-order to ask the question; ("During the transfiguration how are we reminded that he could have returned to Heaven at that time?"). in my humble opinion, I don't mean to be pedantic, that is. (John 6:62) Does however, validate, to some degree; answering the original question with the question; ("But where do we get the idea, that Jesus, "couldn't have" returned to Heaven?") I don't believe Scripture ever infers that He couldn't have returned, though it is clear that, He was here to do the Father's will; and in no way, was He going to return, until that was completed! Matt 26:42 He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done." Thanks again for your input, parpar. God bless John |

Amen Doc, that's just what I've been trying to say. Perhaps I've been too wordy? That's also why I asked: What, is the focus of the study, and, what are it's goals? Personally I don't really trust those kind of questions in the first place. The goal of the like, seems to be to confuse. | ||||||

Hi parpar Yes, I can see were it could (though it may be a stretch) be taken like that in a broad view of the whole counsel of Scripture, but we should be careful to look first at it's immediate contextual interpretation before we take it (outside) of that interpretation. I believe John Gill's expo, on v 62 tells it pretty well. By the way, you can get it free, on line, at, http://www.freegrace.net/gill/ I should point out too, that John was a baptist and, of course much of his exposition reflects Baptist doctrine, though this particular view in v 62, has no seemingly overt nor obscure baptist slant. (Not that I have a problem with that) God bless John --"Ver. 62. [What] and if ye shall see the son of man,.... Meaning himself then in a state of humiliation, and was taken for a mere man, though the true Messiah, and Son of God: ascend up where he was before? for Christ was, he existed before his incarnation, and he was in heaven before; not in his human nature, but as the word and Son of God: and he intimates, that when he had done his work, and the will of his Father, for which he came down from heaven, by the assumption of the human nature, he should ascend up thither again; and which would be seen, as it was, by his apostles; and which would prove that he came down from heaven, as he had asserted; see Eph 4:9; and that his flesh and blood were not to be eaten in a corporeal sense; in which sense they understood him: and he hereby suggests, that if it was difficult to receive, and hard to be understood, and was surprising and incredible, that he should come down from heaven, as bread, to be eat and fed upon; it would be much more so to them to be told, that he who was in so mean and lowly a form, should ascend up into heaven."-- John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible. |

Yes Sir, you are so right! And I really have to wonder again about motivation, when straightforward questions are asked and there is no response! Hmm? .... It'll be interesting to see if Velda, returns, as promised, with yet another, "challenge"! Bless You, Doc. John |

Hi Sister Cheri That does seem to fit very well! Good work! :-) I think somewhere in the cobwebs of my, alleged mind, I've heard of, but not heard, a performance of Stainers' The Crucifixion, accompanied by a narration from Psalms. God bless and Shalom John |

91 | does this sound familiar? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 200723 | ||
The historian Gibbon, (1737-1794), concluded that there were five reasons for the decline and fall of The Roman Empire. Gibbon was by no means a Christian, but this is why he was convinced Rome fell: (1) The undermining of the dignity and sanctity of the home, which is the basis of human society. (2) Higher and higher taxes; the spending of public money for free bread and circuses for the populace. (3) The mad craze for pleasure; sports becoming every year more exciting, more brutal, more immoral. (4) The building of great armaments when the great enemy was within; the decay of individual responsibility. (5) The decay of religion, fading into mere form, losing touch with life, losing power to guide the people. |

Thank you Brother WOS, that really does sum it up! I was looking for some good verse to go along with that but gave in too soon. I just wanted to get it up on the board for all to see where we are headed if we don't turn to God as a country, and I fear it's down hill. Excellent choice of Scripture! Nice to have you back in the mix here at the forum by the way. :-) God bless John |

93 | An interesting look at John 3:5 | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 200788 | ||
Hi ChildofGod; Welcome to the forum! May I ask, what is your friends "way" of looking at this? To my knowledge, there are several ways, by the way, and I don't happen to agree with natural birth, I don't think John 3:5 refers to the water of natural birth at all. Eph 5:25b-26 "just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word," The Holy Spirit, works through the word of God to bring forth a change in the heart of man that we may Believe in Him. The Word of God is the water. John 4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." John 7:38 "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'" When we speak the word of God it is the rivers of living water that flows from our hearts. Water, is referring to the Word of God that flows from our hearts. It is that very Word of God, the water of the Word, that "washing of the water with the word" that brings the lost the gift of faith in Him who is sufficient to save. Rom 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. Christ; is the living water, and it's by the Holy Spirit working through the word, that is the water that He is referring to in John 3:5 to be "born again". He is not speaking of temporal things, but spiritual things. John 3:12 "If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? God bless John |

You are welcome! Thank you too for opening your heart in your profile. I'd like to say, you shouldn't feel alone in your struggles, many of us, especially as young men, have fought that battle, but He is able to sanctify us! As paul says, keep on fighting the good fight! |

Thanks bb, fortunately, I didn't need to take my shoes off for that! :-) though you underestimate my curiosity, (and the fact that nerds like research!) I had googled it already, but Hank had an answer first and it seemed satisfactory. I did glean this additional info however from: http://www.deafmissions.com/tally/bkchptrvrs.html Although this is not exclusive to KJV and is just an average compilation. Note: these figures do not account for verses "dropped" from some Bible translations (example: Matthew 18:11). Also, many of the Psalms have title/author information that is not numbered among the verses. Numbered Verses: 31,103 Unnumbered Verses: 137 Total: 31,240 I suppose I'm insufferably boring everyone with, superfluous details. Good to have you onboard here at the forum, by the way, and I appreciate your contribution. :-) God bless John |

100 | could raised from the dead be spiritual | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 201258 | ||
Hi holyours, Welcome to the forum! In relation to your original question, I believe you are correct, that is if I understand what you are asking. Ephesians 2:5-6 does indeed refer to our spiritual rebirth. So in that case, (raised from the dead) is spiritual. "even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus," This should not however, be taken into our thinking when we read accounts of those actually being, physically, raised from the dead, such as in the case lazarus, who was raised from the dead, physically. Although both should be taken literally, one is spiritual, and the other physical. God bless John |
