Hello Dragonfly Not in Isaiah 61:1 for this verse speaks of the Ministry of Messiah at His first coming. However, in Isaiah 42:19, here, in this context, “servant” is National Israel (detailed in verses 17-22). Although everything relates in Scripture, I don't see Isaiah 42:19 is in relation...

Hello Dragonfly Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, So what...

The Bible speaks of two Israels. One is physical and the other is spiritual. These two Israels are both in view in Romans 11:25-26. Right off the bat, in verse 25, we find a warning stating we are not to be ignorant that there is a mystery. I know this mystery of ignorance cannot refer to...

Jesus spoke in parables. Mark Chapter 4:2, 34 And he taught them many things by parables. But without a parable spake he not not unto them. God is the AUTHOR of the Bible Genesis 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made...

I have no problems with Jer. 31:32. It is a matter of how we understand Scripture. Just so you know I understand, verse 32 speaks of how the 'fathers' broke the covenant and could not enter into the land of promise because of unbelief. In contrast, verse 33 speaks of those in the 'house of...

Purity What, did the truth come by to you only? You and I will never come to agreement because you read the Bible literally, whereas, I on the other hand, read Scripture by the principle rule set forth in Mark Chapter 4 that Jesus spoke in parables and without a parable He did not speak. A...

Purity I've used Jer. 3:14 as a reference only that God said He was married to Israel and I will not have used this text to prove God will bring National Israel together again to Zion. The reason is that Zion is a reference to heavenly Jerusalem (Heb. 12:22; Rev. 21:2,10). This will be...

Rex I believe you have the correct biblical understanding of Romans 11:25-26. If I may I would like to add to what you've already declared to which many have misunderstood. Jeremiah 3:14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a...

Mungo I'm afraid it is you who make God to be a liar and a deceiver! You have completely ignored how God told Moses and Jeremiah to write in a book all the words that He told them. What part of the scripture texts that were offered did you not understand? Why, even a child who can read will...

Mungo In an office environment, if the boss ask a secretary to write a detailed report on a project, whose thoughts and words are in view? Correct, the secretary's. But if the same boss ask the secretary to take a dictation, whose thoughts and words will be in view Right again, the boss'...

Hello Selene, Are you deliberately evading the question I asked or, is it because you have no answer to give? Mark 10:38-39 means that we must drink the cup of the wrath of God. Jesus came as the cup bearer who paid for our sins. He is our substitute. Many scripture texts are not understood...

Hello Rocky Wiley Did you know the Scripture is full of types and figures, realities and shadows, and so forth? As a reminder only, I know you are aware that the word 'baptize' in the Greek mean 'to wash' and you are correct there are two baptisms. Baptism of the Holy Spirit (reality) and...

Mungo You are correct of course that I should have provided evidence to statements I've made and I do apologize, on the other hand; you too do not follow what you preach as you did not provide any kind of evidence to support that the statements I've made were false, but I will let Scripture...

Selene, You said, “According to the Bible, water baptism can save.” May I ask which bible is this? Is there another mysterious bible in existence I'm not aware of? Or, are you suggesting the Apocrypha books? Did you know that Scripture speaks of two baptisms? That's right, one is spiritual and...

Rex, Thank you for your kind words. I'm sorry to hear of the tragedy that struct your home state. I have prayed for those brave souls.

Rocky Wiley, I agree with you on Deuteronomy 6:4 that God is One however, the answer to this verse is found in Genesis 1:1. The word God in Genesis 1:1 is a plural word in Hebrew which is the word “Elohim.” So that there is no misunderstandings, God brings home the point in verses 26 and 27...

The Bible was written by God for mankind. The Bible defines its own terms The Bible is its own interpreter. The Bible is its own dictionary Selene does not understand the word “all” in biblical terms, and no one has made her to understand. As suggested by the four statements...

Nikki, You said, “The Holy Spirit did not indwell believers back then as He does today.” I say this kindly, but I believe you are wrong. Psalm 51:11-12 reads: 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold...

To all concerned, It is indeed sad when Christians act unbecoming. I hope and pray the Scripture references below will pave the way for understanding the topic at hand. Matthew 16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign...

Hello ScottAU, You've mentioned many names of theologians in your last post in which, one or two names I'm not familiar with. Their best works however are still tainted with sin, and therefore, not authoritative So is trying to get information on truths on online websites as you've suggested...
