What it means is that you are a guest in your enemies house (your words). You know full well that your beliefs are not embraced here, yet you spend countless hours here trying to stir up trouble. If you want to stay and have civil debate, then we welcome you because we are not intimidated in the...

Well they're just wrong. The holy spirit indwells every believer. That's all I mean.

GOD is the one who anoints through messengers. The spirit is the anointing. Oil in OT symbolized spirit. Oil used to anoint kings and priests symbolized their being immersed into the spirit.

The baptism of the holy spirit is an anointing.

Paul's version came from the Septuagint (LXX). And the deliverer shall come from Zion, and he shall turn impiety from Jacob. Isaiah 59:20 (LXX) The deliverer will come out of Zion; he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob. Romans 11:26 (LEB)

That seems reasonable. I have wondered about that event because Matthew has the acclamation occurring before Jesus addressed the pharisees, and Luke switches the order. If Luke's version is correct, then that would preclude the common misinterpretation you mentioned. But the 'let everything be...

You can quote from whatever translation you choose, Graceismine. The NIV is just the default translation this site uses. Feel free to use what you like.

Well if you consider the context of chapters 9-11 it isn't. Paul takes great pains in those chapters to make the point that only a remnant is saved. Great pains, to the point of being redundant. That remnant he calls Israel, and the others, though they be of physical Israel, are not really...

That translation is actually inaccurate. Verse 26 says 'all Israel will be saved [no period] as it is written, 'The deliver will come out of Zion and turn Jacob from ungodliness'. In other words, verse 26 is not a declaration that everybody in Israel will be saved, but that all of the remnant...

I think that the rational, reasonable and proper exegetical method is to determine if a prophecy can be applied to Christ's first coming (as Isaiah 59:20 obviously can be). If it can be, what rationale or warrant do we have to discard it and project the prophecy's fulfillment into the future...

Yes, he meant all believers, and only believers. The Timothy verse you mentioned really says 'GOD is the savior of all men, specifically those who believe'. In other words the word all is specific to those who believe, not all men. As far as the Corinthian verse you mentioned, yes all will be...

Click the link I provided. It's all there. The quote is by a geologist who was apparently told what he wrote. I tend to disagree with what he said regarding the vowels being the same. Update: I believe the quote is from this article - 1984 Earthquakes in Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives...

As far as I know, the spelling of Azal hasn't changed. I agree with your Israeli friend. There is no need to confound misguided interpretations of Zechariah 14:5 because reality does it for us in the form of abundant physical evidence (historical, archaeological, theological, linguistic...

The Greek word translated again actually means from above, i.e., born from above. 'Born again' is OK, but really lacks the clarity that 'born from above' has. G509 ἄνωθεν anothen (an'-o-then) adv. 1. from above 2. (by analogy) from the first 3. (by implication) anew [from G507]

It's a lot to process, especially when having to reprogram the mind to not view the MT version of this verse as GOD's word, like I had to do. That said, here's some more info... :) Gordon Franz wrote the following...

Wow, you sure have quite an unusual and challenging family there. Is this three separate little cherubs, or is just one afflicted with these behaviors?

That is correct. 70% of the time in US from what I've read. And I did say 'That is correct'. Women need to follow their conscience more than they follow a man, because as you say, no man can save them, except one. Nevertheless, for a team to work there has to be a leader who guides, and a team...

RB, I appreciate your open-minded approach to this issue. Please be aware that the identification of Azal in Israel is not coming from traditional Jewish sources. As far as I can discern it is the result of a joint effort between Jewish and Arab archaeologists (one group being the...

Your teachings are heretical and a stumbling block.

That's correct. But one must lead, and one must follow. Two leaders doesn't work.
