Bible Discussion Replies PAGE 1306

Hi George,

I received an email from this website this morning that you posted a question to me. I cannot find your post, but this was what the email said:

"Jesse If the bridegroom is the church why is it never called that in the Church epistles and why is the bridegroom most mentioned in the context of the gospels."

My answer would be that I did not say that the church was the bridegroom. I said that Jesus Christ is the bridegroom. Did you read my post carefully? If you can find where I said that the church is the bridegroom then I will admit my error because that is not what I believe. If I said that, then I apologize, but can you please tell me where I said the church is the bridegroom? Thank you!

If it's in red letters that means Jesus said it. Luke 12: 22, His Disciples.

Hi Mike No he never did in Chapter 11:1-11 he didn't keep His word but God kept His Word as always.

Hiya Everybody, i just wanted to give my slant on the Trinity, the Godhead beings it was just a picture of the Abrahamic Godhead . Just as Abraham offered up his only son Issac so did God Almighty offer up his only Son Christ Which resulted in that great Promise of MULTIPLICATION ,I will multiply the Seed as the Stars of HEAVEN thus the sower and his precious seed the WORD which is THE MULTIPLICation of God, Thats y Jesus said behold I send the Promise of my Father upon you which was the new Birth of the H.G. The Child of Promise ( the multiplication of very God in humanity ) When Jesus said that which is born of the Spirit Spirit thats the H.G. the Child of Promise Our new Birth via his seed the Word as God is Spirit. You folks that gag at the Trinity are gonna have to swollow as Zillion Gods but they are all 1 spirit Immanuels, God with US. When God said my name is Abraham Issac and Jacob, He was plainly telling us there is gonna be an Israel of God, THE VERY Multiplication of God in humanity which is the H.G. that Child of Promise. God cd not tell us His his name was abraham, Issac and Jacob if his kingdom were not a Abrahamic type trinity. That is gonna be multiplied as the Stars of Heaven, Thus the very Kingdom of God is gona be with in US. Ya gotta realize its God Almighty that wants a Posterity,Christ was just the 1st born of many breathren. Thats y the sower wants to sow his precious seed in humanity that we might birth a baby God as Jesus said that which is born of the spirit is spirit which is the H.G. The Granson. A baby Christ via the seed of Christ, the time is at hand for the world to have A BABY Christ. Thats y Elijah has to come and turn the hearts of the fathers to the Children, Gods Plural.27 times in the O.T. the Prophets saw the WORLD in travail and birth Pains ( Sorrows ) But after the Child comes our sorrows are gonna be turned into Joy which is the H.G. The Child of Promise the multiplication of God via the seed of Christ. Thank ya Jesus .

Paul the Apostle to the Philippians, abbreviation Philippians, eleventh book of the New Testament, written by St. Paul the Apostle to the Christian congregation he had established in Philippi. It was penned while he was in prison, probably at Rome or Ephesus, about 62 ce.

i love jesus

Please advise "how to" make these discussions Better with Bible verse "links" ie:

(1) Is it ( Gen 1:1)? or ( Genesis 1 : 1)? or ( Genesis 1:1) looks ok?

(2) How do we _underline_ a _verse link_ without the ()? Is it _Genesis 1:1_ { _underscore_ before and after the _verse_ }

This TEST question may help as I try "different things," but I Really Appreciate all your help, also!

God Bless you richly!!

Hi Mike , eventually you will get to read the book of Ecclesiastes , it is written by Solomon . When you have read it you will know all by yourself wether or not Solomon was sorry for his sins . You don't need me to tell you what to think , you will know after you've read Ecclesiastes . Enjoy the Word , may God give you eyes to see and ears to hear and an open heart and mind .

Hi Marcelo , it's called Phillipians because it was written to the church or rather congregation at Phillipi in the same way that Galatians was written to the Christians in Galatia .

Perhaps, the visions of Daniel have had earthly histories and the visions of John were/are the behind the scenes Heavenly histories.

:)

Daniel 8:25

And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

This verse refers to Herod the Great who was broken by disease.

Revelation 12:4

And in his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

Herod attempted to try to stop the ascension of the Prince of princes to the throne in earth, and the dragon tried to prevent the ascension The Prince of princes to the Throne in Heaven.

Explain Luke 12:32 Who are the little flock, the disciples? Israel?

Hi Marcelo Vega Each of the church Epistles are addressed to the Fellowships in the specific areas Paul preached at Rome, Corinth, Galatia, Ephesus, Phillippi. Collossae, Thessalonica.

Bsp Amen to that

1 Kings 11

King Solomon did that that not right with the Lord. Did King Solomon ever get right with the Lord? I don't see it.

Verse 176-the psalmist strayed like a lost sheep. This may have been written by young prince Hezekiah. He poured out his heart and Jehovah God responded.

More Proof that Jesus is part of the Godhead and trinity:

"And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God."

Some like to use the same old tired argument to attack Jesus and try to discredit Him, which is: Jesus never claimed He was God.

It's a logical flaw to assume something based on something not being recorded. The Bible never said it's the Bible, either. The word Bible isn't in the Bible, so should we assume it isn't a Bible? You probably haven't ever published a book saying that you're a human being, so based on this logic we can assume you aren't one?

Just because there isn't a direct quote from someone doesn't invalidate a concept from the Bible. For example, the Bible didn't record Jesus ever saying we shouldn't "shoot someone." Does that mean it's ok? The Bible also didn't record Jesus saying the specific words that we shouldn't "have an affair." Does that mean it's ok, then?

Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:"

1 John 2:22-24

"Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father."

There's so much scriptural proof we run out of space to post them all. Deniers will still deny, just like it says in 1 John 2:22-24. Satan is real and is great at deceiving. Pray hard about learning the truth. The truth will set you free. John 8:32.

John 14:10 "Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works."

Isaiah 7:14 - Jesus's birth is prophesied and He is called Immanuel which means "God with us." Matthew 1:23-25 -fulfillment of that.

Verses 7-9-we become wise by following the law of Jehovah God. Verses 8 and 9-living by God's standards brings approval from God and we enjoy a clean conscience and a good relationship with Jah.

First, there is no way we can dispute the divinity of Jesus Christ, He is the only begotten Son of God, His name is above every name that is named. The trinity doctrine is in most main denominations of churches and is the foundation of Christianity and is in their Statement of Faith. I have been told I am not a Christian if I do not believe in the trinity doctrine because I do not understand who God is.

Is the definition of Christianity the belief and the following of Jesus or the belief in a triune God?

Does this doctrine give man the authority to override what scripture says about how we are saved?

Would God be behind a doctrine that is responsible for thousands plus thousands of Christian deaths?

Do we deny Jesus by saying He is God? 1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. (The Father AND the Son)

Does not scripture show a literal Father and Son and the Son does the will of the Father?

What do we do to the meaning of this scripture, do we make it not true, by saying Jesus is God? John.3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Is salvation dependent on the belief of this doctrine, if so why was it not taught in scripture?

Does the trinity doctrine confuse and convolute our understanding that is far from the simplicity of Christ and a complete reversal from all the foundations set in the Old Testament?

Is the trinity doctrine a burden placed on us like the Pharisees sect tried to do with circumcision as in Acts 15?

Every word of Jesus was of the Father, every will of Jesus was the will of the Father, Jesus was equal to God on this earth because He was the word of God manifested to do the will of the Father with all the authority of the Father. A word is not a word before it is spoken, and that word is who spoke it.

Just questions,

Read all of the scriptures and ignore the cultists who stray from God's Word or distort scripture. Even children can understand what these verses mean so I think some adults are just wanting to reinforce what they already want to believe, because it's convenient for other reasons. Is a Christian a real Christ follower if he doesn't believe in the divinity of Christ? That is something we should pray deeply and study deeply about.

Isaiah 7:14 - Jesus is called Immanuel which means "God with us"

Matthew 1:23-25

This sounds like an intellectually disingenuous question. Even children understand the concept of the Godhead or trinity- it's straight from God's word. If you don't understand it, that's fine, have you tried praying for wisdom and understanding. It's possible some of these comments are games a person is playing to try to pull some away from the truth to his cult-like beliefs not from the Bible. That's like doing the work of the devil. Here's some good reading material for the cultists.

Matthew 1:23-25

Even a mature Christian may be inclined to do what is bad. The apostle Paul was a mature Christian but he faced this struggle. We have a war or struggle inside us as we fight against the law of sin.

Not sure how you like these verses in the Bible then, because it clearly says Jesus is God. To deny this is to deny God's word:

1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

John 10:30 "I and my Father are one."

John 8:19 "if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also."

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

"the Word was God."

That's hard to deny that truth. Let's read that again.

"the Word was God."

And it sounds like you're saying "the Word wasn't God." The Bible says one thing, you're saying another- the opposite.

Satan is the father of lies and he is no doubt behind every major deception, especially among Christians. A Christian is a Christ follower. Does that term bother you since you deny the above verses about His diety? This twisting of scripture in order to achieve a certain narrative seems awfully like the CNN version of the Bible.

Let's continue with more truth in scripture to refute the false assumptions posted here...

Philippians 2:5 - 2:8 "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:"

John 1:3 - All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Matthew 28:19 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"

Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:"

John 14:10 "Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works."

John 20:28

"And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God."

1 John 5:8 "And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one."

Verse 13-God's word works in us. It gives us the power to remain strong under difficult circumstances.

Verse 10-clear thinking and practical application of knowledge begin with viewing the Creator with awe. And the next verse mentions that this makes us happier people.

hi,

Why is this book called Philippians?

Thank you.

Verse 12-Paul is here describing them before they knew the true God. Faith in the existence of the Creator gives our life meaning and purpose.

Verse 40-Jehovah God promises to reward those who put faith in him and his son with everlasting life and if these faithful ones have passed away God has offered the hope of a resurrection.

un-GODly men; Jude v.4 = The adjective "un-GODly" describes a person who has no reverential respect, nor any honorable consideration for GOD, or anything pertaining to GOD. Thus, they reject any thought or form of worshiping HIM because "they did not like to retain {possessing and putting intelligence and wisdom into practical use} GOD in their knowledge" ( Rom. 1:28).

As a point of antonymous (the opposite of synonymous) reference, the term un-GODliness describes the polar opposite contrast to GODliness. Un-GODliness is anything and everything in man that contradicts GOD, HIS ESSENCE, HIS PERSON, HIS Character, HIS Attributes, HIS Will, and HIS Purposes. Un-GODliness is the rejection of, and unbelief in, GOD, HIS CHRIST, and HIS Gospel.

The un-GODly are not atheists by default or through any actual non-belief in GOD's real existence, for they are "men, who hold the Truth in unrighteousness" ( Rom. 1:18). They actually know about GOD, but choose to reject HIM, for "they did not like to retain GOD in their knowledge" ( Rom. 1:28). Moreover, the hatred the un-GODly seethe toward GOD prompts them to "despise the Riches of HIS Goodness and Forbearance" ( Rom. 2:4) because of their "hardness and impenitent heart" ( Rom. 2:5).

Their hatred, hardness, and rejection of GOD turns them into "The fool [who] hath said in his heart, There is no GOD" ( Ps. 14:1; cp. Ps. 36:1; 53:1). Notice, the expression, "There is ", is in italics for it was added by the translators. What the fool literally says is this: "There is no God for me. I will worship and serve no god or deity." In essence, even though they "know the Judgement of GOD" ( Rom. 1:32), this mental knowledge poses "no fear of GOD before their eyes" ( Rom. 3:18; cp. Eph. 4:19; 1Tim. 4:2).

Hi Earl , I have always thought that the abomination that maketh desolate is the thing that now stands on the site of the temple in Israel . I don't have any evidence for this , it's just the thing that came straight to my mind when I first read about it in Daniel .
