Bible Discussion Replies PAGE 215

Hey there brother Chris,

Thanks again for your kind and encouraging words. Amen!

Thanks brother Jesse for sharing that. I found it very fascinating indeed about the stripes & holes in the unleavened matzo bread - something I'd never heard about or considered. I did look it up to try & get some photos, and as you wrote, there were stripes, at least the appearance of stripes from the baking process in the oven & certainly holes, which I understand were poked into the dough, for the air to be released during the bake. Of course, when the time of the Passover meal was to be eaten, and Jesus' application to that matzo bread & the cup made, then the relevance & reality of His upcoming crucifixion was all the more real. Will leave it up to others here to discern whether this last meal was entirely symbolic of what would come ahead & before their eyes, or whether Jesus' flesh & Blood was actually transmitted & transmuted into their meal. For me, it seems convincingly clear. That was great - many thanks.

(Galatians Part 17):

Galatians 6:18 - Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Brethren, you see, he still calls them brethren. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and notice in italics the word be, it's literally the word is. It's not a wish or a prayer. It is a statement of fact. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with your spirit. God's grace is always with the believer's spirit. Not with the flesh, but in the inner man where Christ dwells. And he says Amen.

This is all I have to share in Galatians. As the Lord leads, I will be going through Ephesians next.

God Bless you all!

(Galatians Part 16):

Galatians 6:10 - As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good to all men. And again, that's the word AGATHOS. It's the good of God. It doesn't mean do humanitarian good things. It means the goodness of the Spirit of God ministering through us to others. As you have opportunity, do good to all men. It's not human effort. It's the Spirit of God. Especially unto them that are of the household of faith. The believers in Christ are top priority!

Galatians 6:17 - From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

From henceforth let no man trouble me: I think I'm going to put that on my telephone answering machine. That's a pretty good one. Stop calling! Let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. The Greek word is STIGMA. What he's saying is, and he's using the term for the branding of slaves. Slaves were branded with either their master's name or some kind of identification. Paul says let no one trouble me, I bear in my body, and he was someone that the Christians said that it was very difficult to look at this man.

He had so many physical problems. You can imagine the many beatings and stonings. He has scars and scabs. He suffered from malaria, caught eye disease. His eyes were never clear. He always had a running substance coming out of them. This is all in service to Christ. He was branded. In his body, he carried the brand of the Lord Jesus. He was sacrificial in serving. So, it's basically like saying "I don't need any more trouble!"

(Galatians Part 15):

Galatians 6:6 - Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.

It says, let him that is taught in the word. I'll share some definitions with you. The word taught means verbally instructed or lecturing, a person that is being lectured by verbal instruction. The command is communicate, again characteristics, to the one who is teaching (same word), to the one who is verbally teaching or lecturing. And concerning: in all good things.

In the command, it says to communicate. And that's the word KOINONIA. It's the word used in the bible for fellowship. It means to have something in common. That's what fellowship is. Here it means to share. Let the one who is taught in the word share with him that is teaching in all good things.

The word good is our word AGATHOS which is produced by the Holy Spirit according to Galatians 5:23. It is the good of God, the Spiritual good that is produced by God. So, when it says in all good things, it's talking about the things of God. The person who is teaching, they are sharing the good things of God. The people who are being taught are also to share back the good things of God.

Galatians 6:7- Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

It says, be not deceived. That's a command, and it literally means to be led astray. Do not be led astray!

The reason: God is not mocked. The concept, the basic principle that is the same for believers, non-believers, every human being in every circumstance of life, whatsoever a man sows, that he shall also reap. We're not getting away with anything. God is not mocked. He has a built-in law in life that whatever we plant, that's what's going to grow. That's going to be the fruit and result of our life.

(Galatians Part 14):

Galatians 6:2 - Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Interesting that we see the word burden twice, here, and again in Verse 5. It is two different Greek words. The principle here is bear one another's burdens. This word means weight or weightiness of a burden, of a load. And in application, what he's saying here is that if this man has sinned and you have to handle the matter, what a hassle to get your life involved in other people's lives!

It's very time consuming. It's much easier to take a vote and throw somebody out. I mean, it's a heavy deal. There are some people that have some pretty heavy problems and struggles that they're going through. And most of the time, we don't have time.

Galatians 6:5 - For every man shall bear his own burden.

Wait a minute! He says we're to bear one another's burdens, and now he says we are to bear our own burden. Remember, the first one is weight, the weightiness of the load. We are to help other people with the weightiness of their load.

But this word is the word freight. So, you have the word freight, and you have the word weight. This word for burden is used for a backpack for a soldier. And I think that's a good example. If you're a soldier and you are carrying your own backpack, and each one of us are carrying our own load. But when somebody begins to crumble under the weight of their load, we are to help them with the heaviness, or weightiness of their load while carrying our own pack.

You see, I am not to carry your cargo. I am to help you with the weightiness of it (with this person that was caught in a sin). I'm not to bear the brunt of his discipline for this, but to help him in the weightiness of the situation to get it resolved. I can't carry your load for you. You can't carry mine. But sometimes the load gets heavy, and we reach out to help each other in our situations.

(Galatians Part 13):

Galatians 5:23 - Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Meekness, and as the old saying goes, "Meekness does not mean weakness." It means openness or receptivity. It's one of the words that Paul used for those in ministry. It's also translated gentleness. But it means to be open. The person who's giving the word and ministering the things of Christ, that person must be more open and receptive than any other person. They can't close themselves off like they have arrived and everybody else hasn't. They have to be open.

And then temperance means self-control, or more literally the control of self. This is not self-control like trying to enforce discipline in our eating. "I've got to exhibit more self-control when I eat." This word means to be controlled from within, to be controlled by the Spirit of God. And then he says against such there is no law. And again, he's saying that this is the fruit of God's Spirit. There is no law against these.

Galatians 5:24 - And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the passions and desires. We have already been crucified. It's an Aorist Tense.

Galatians 5:26 - Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

The word provoking means to challenge, to call people out.

(Galatians Part 12):

Galatians 5:22 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

But the fruit of the Spirit is, and please note that the word fruit is singular. People have tried to fit all this into a singular fruit. Most of the time people say love is the fruit that all the others are based on, so it's singular. No, it's actually more inclusive than that! All of these items are elements of the same and the one fruit. You cannot separate love from faith, and joy from faith, and joy from love because it's from the same Spirit. There's only one Spirit and this is Him.

So, the first element of the one fruit is love, AGAPE. God's Spirit produces love, not you or me. Joy, and that's not the dishwashing soap! It's the Greek word for satisfaction. Be satisfied with the Lord at all times. The word peace means unity, EIRENE.

Longsuffering means to be slow in human reaction. In God's standpoint, I can tolerate and be slow in my human reaction because that is a characteristic of God's Spirit, not me. Gentleness, which is literally the word kindness, and it has to do with being useful. It is Spiritual usefulness. The bible says that if you don't know Christ, you are not spiritually useful at all!

Goodness, this is where good and goodness and all the words that have to do with AGATHOS come from. It displays not a human goodness, but a Spiritual Godly goodness.

(Galatians Part 11):

Galatians 5:21 - Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

And then envyings, which is very close to the next word murder. It's where you envy what someone else has, even to the extent that you will try to kill them for it. Drunkenness, and actually it is plural. Drunkenness'. And this is a person who is continuously under the influence. And revellings, plural, is parties, partying where the drunkenness takes place.

Now the penalty for the works of the flesh, he says and such like:

What we just went through, the list is just an example. Such things like these, of which I tell you before, and also I told you in time past, that they which do such things, and the word "do" in Greek is the word practice, PRASSO. That they which practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. So, it's not talking about a person that might get angry or might commit one of these things and repent. That's not what he's talking about. These are people who live a lifestyle of practicing these things.

Giannis,

(Part 2):

You mentioned that the early Christians participated in communion by sitting in tables eating like Jesus and the apostles did at the last supper. You have probably seen paintings of The Last Supper as most of us have. If you notice in the painting, they are all sitting on one side of the table looking towards the artist.

That's the vision we get when we think of The Last Supper. But it looked nothing like that. They did not have chairs so the were not sitting. What they did was they reclined at the table. This table had no legs, just a large piece of wood that sat on the floor. But they were not all on the same side of the table. The way they would do it is that they would have the guest of honor (In this case, Jesus), and then it would go from oldest to youngest, the oldest to the right (behind Jesus), and then it would go around the table in order all the way to the youngest which would have been John, directly in front of Jesus.

What they would do is they would put their right arm up on the table and they would actually be reclining. They would actually be laying down with their feet in the back and they would be reaching over and eating with one hand. That's why some find it strange that the one whom Jesus loves is resting on His chest. But that is because he is leaning back onto Jesus, and there is a conversation going on between Jesus and John about what's happening around the table.

One last thing that I find interesting is in Luke 22:15, it is not "the" Passover but "this" Passover. It will be the last Passover. The Messianic Jews to this day hold that Passover meals, now each year, is only a remembrance that this Passover meal is the last Passover meal until Christ comes, very interesting!

Sorry for being long winded. Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. And may the Lord continue to give you a hunger for His word. God Bless!!!

Hello Giannis,

(Part 1):

No worries. I understand that we get busy and cannot respond quickly. Thank you for sharing your opinion on this topic. We do have a different view on this and that's okay. I spent some time reading through the accounts given in Matthew Chapter 26, Mark Chapter 14, and Luke Chapter 22. There are few things I find interesting that I would like to share.

In Mark 14:22-26, we see communion being instituted. The last supper was also the last Passover meal. Jewish people, ever since Moses, when they celebrated the Passover meal together, they had no idea what each of the elements meant. They knew some of them like the bitter herbs. They had three pieces of matzo bread. They broke the second piece and wrapped it a napkin. Interesting!

They had no idea why. But we know what that represents. Also, the matzo bread, when it was cooked in the oven, it had to have stripes on it. And it had to have holes in it. You probably can already imagine what all this represents.

But the Jews believed that when Messiah comes, He was going to explain to them what this all means because they were just doing it. But they didn't know what it all meant.

At the last Passover meal (Last Supper), Jesus took this bread that had to have stripes on it and said this is my body. The stripes on the bread would represent the stripes He would later receive from being whipped. He then took the cup and gave it to them to drink and said this is my blood which is shed for many. When He said this, His blood had not yet been shed so this could only represent the blood that would later be shed from the hole in His body when He was pierced. So, that explains the stripes on the Passover bread and the holes in the bread. The Jews had no idea!

Indeed brother S. Spencer. Acquiring what we learn from people's (past & present) beliefs & then speedily finding support of it (or not) in God's Word, can only lead us into a proper understanding of the Truth, application in our lives & teaching it to others. Blessings to you too, both in your spiritual & secular labors.

Great assertion Brother Chris!

Hyper Calvinist came to mind when Derek mentioned that Church.

It does well to study and get familiar with Calvin's teachings and the Hyper Calvinist teachings.

Blessings

Now, there's a name that I haven't heard of for a long time Zamar2Zion: Finis Dake. I remember when assisting at a previous Fellowship's bookshop (in my younger, in-between jobs days), we certainly ordered & sold many copies of (his) Dake's Bible - mainly to pastors/elders who used his many helpful notes. But I can see why his Bible wouldn't be popular to many Christians, just as Schofield & others are rejected. And I don't know how well the Dake's Bible sells in these days. However, I shall take time to follow through on those video suggestions you shared. GBU.

Hello Derek. I respond here as neither a whole-hearted supported of either Calvin's or Arminius' teachings (I see truth & value in both), but just giving here a simple reply. I would suggest you do a study on Calvin's teachings, as briefly summarized in the acronym of TULIP (search: Calvin - TULIP), to familiarize yourself with his actual beliefs rather than the beliefs & practises of the Church (you attended). As you know, there are many differences within the Churches even of the same 'genre', in their beliefs & practises, however minor; so what you have observed in that Church Fellowship may not be identical to others holding a reformed position. So, I won't add to it, unless you wish to continue, especially after you've learned further about those two great men, their beliefs, & the practises of the Fellowships that lean towards one or the other of those men's teachings. And you may want to look at hyper-Calvinism as well, as I suspect the Church you went to & by what you shared, they might be tending towards that position.

Thank you brother Giannis for taking the trouble to explain further in this matter. I really have to admit, that I still struggle to grapple with yours (& your Fellowship's) understanding on the Bread & Wine. I know you don't believe that those 'things' physically change in constitution or appearance, but you state that "they are Body and Blood by faith".

The only way I can understand that statement is that 'by expressing faith, those 'things' (represent?) the Body and Blood of our Lord'. I'm sorry, I can't see it another way - maybe my limited comprehension. The Bread & Wine are either materially (even mystically) so, or not so changed (even with faith expressed) - I can't fathom as to how an understanding can be somewhere in-between. I would however, agree to: that 'by faith, those things represent (i.e. emblematic) of the Body & Blood'; but I'm sorry, my limited mind can't grasp an in-between possibility. Anyway, thanks again - we may not want to pursue this any longer. Blessings.

Hi Ltrchlasl. Thank you for your question. I would refer you to Luke 22:19 and 1 Corinthians 11:24,25 (you can hover your mouse pointer over these references to read them fully, or touch them on your phone to read them). So yes, the Lord's Supper (Communion) is observed purely in remembrance of what our Lord Jesus did for us by coming to Earth, laying down His Life in our stead, & rising up from the dead & entering Heaven to be with His Father.

And if you have been following this thread, discussion has come up as to whether the bread & wine we see on the Communion Table only remain as physically bread & wine, or do they, in a mystical way, transform into the actual Body & Blood of our Lord. My understanding of the Scriptures associated with this solemn, yet joyful ceremony, is that what we see on the table before us, do not change at all in their material composition, hence only remain as emblems (or, symbols, tokens) of what Jesus did for us at Calvary. Please read these Gospel & the apostle Paul's accounts more fully to understand for yourself, with the Spirit's Help, to what Jesus intended for His disciples and us to understand from this act of fellowship with Him.

Hi Derek.

Welcome to the site.

This is a debated topic with good competent people on both sides.

I would refer you to , Revelation 22:17.

Do you thirst?

Whosoever will come" is a phrase that means anyone who wants to participate is welcome.

This verse is interpreted as an INVITATION to all people to come to Jesus and receive eternal life.

Salvation is in the person of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

This sacrificial gift is a display of God's love to the WHOLE WORLD!

The Gospel is not hidden unless you refuse it. Believing and receiving in a "gift" is not an act of works if so then no one would be saved.

Blessings.

Hello so are you saying that we drink the wine and eat the bread for remembernce of Jesus sacrafice? Not that we see it as hes body or blood? not sure Im confused

Chris, Jesse (Pt 2).

So there was no way that one couldn't underastand what was going on and ate them as common bread and wine. In verse 18 it says "For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it." and in verse 21 "For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken." and in v 22 "...church of God, and shame them that have not?". So those were few of their sins, like getting drunk during the meal, not thinking of those who were poor or having divisions. Those were their sins and not eating the bread and wine as common bread and wine. Well this is my opinion. Blessings to both brothers in Christ.

Hello Chris, Jesse. (Pt 1.)

Sorry for my delayed answer. I was a bit beasy the last couple of days.

Chris. The difference between transubstantiation and my church's belief is that we don't believe that the bread and wine are changed in substance and become Body and Blood, but they are Body and Bood by faith. We believe that they become so not because there is any change in substance, they are still bread and wine, but by faith we accept them as Body and Blood of Christ. Accepting the belief of them being emblems finds a serious obstacle which is why do we get punished if we eat them unworthily? They are emblems. So what is the sin? Sins are very specific. What is the sin when I eat something that is a symbol of something else? It says "... unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord" and "For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.". Not descerning the Lord's Body. In verse 32 it says, "But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.". Why are we judged? Because we sin and the Lord wants to make us repend and clean ourselves and "not be condemned with the world". So there is a sin/sins similar to those that the unbelievers do. And this can not be because we eat symbols but because we do specific sins like the world. Verse 28 says "But let a man examine himself". Examine about what? About eating an emblem? So what is the sin when I eat it as bread and not as a symbol of flesh? This can not be a sin. It is nothing really. And assuming it is a sin definitely it can not draw the damnation of death.

Jesse. Let's see how the first christians participated in the Communion. They were sitting in tables eating like Jesus and the apostles did in the Last Supper and during or at the end of that meal the pastor stood, prayed and blessed the bread and wine into Body and Blood of Jesus. Then they deacons offered them to the believers.

Interpret - explain meaning of, understand

Understand - perceive the intended meaning of (words, a language, or a speaker).

"he didn't understand a word It said"

We are to interpret the Bible, or understand what it says. Not to come up with our interpretation, we are not to change one word of the Bible. We are to read it and understand it. You'll need a dictionary Oxford when there an English word you dont understand. The word lost is used in the New Testament, in one case its unable to find one's way; not knowing one's whereabouts.' and there other is ' 'perish, destroy'' .

World, all, end, made, lost are words that are in the Bible and use different definitions. We can't understand it all if we don't know the definitions are being used. KJV is not hard, Thou is You, Thus is this.

No man hath seen GOD.

seen, not to perceive with the eyes but seen discern or deduce mentally after reflection or from information; understand.

'How GOD fully works remains to be seen'

Old English son, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch zien and German sehen, perhaps from an Indo-European root shared by Latin sequi 'follow'.

1 John 5:7

For there are three (Literal:1,2,3 of them. Jesus prayed to God Our Father who art in Heaven on earth) that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. (figurative truth: One in unity by agreeing, One in the fact they were there at the beginning, They are God Gen 1:1 Elohim GODS, Eternal)

I encourage you all to listen to Finis Dake teaching. Sometimes we need to go back to basics, I struggled with the WORD until I realized English was my troubles.

type on youtube , last one is a video (3)

2) Simplicity of the Bible - Finis J. Dake (GPFM Lesson 1,2,3))

3) Understanding Expressions, definitions and terms of the Bible Ages - Finis J. Dake

Definite proof that the rapture is before the antichrist and tribulation. (Finis J. Dake)

3) Seven year tribulation period, the Second Coming of Christ and the Battle of Armageddon.

I pray you give it a listen as it is a audio recording. God Bless you. Dispel that notion that its hard to understand and a takes years of reading when God gave us His word in human language we can understand. Today English as God commissioned. Its is simple for us all agree on.

Accidentally went to a church that believes in Calvinism that doesn't believe in either freewill or that Jesus died for everyone. Part of their justification of being right involved demonizing other Christians and assuming that others trying to follow God are "trying to be like God". They also said all effort is works that means someone must be trying to save themselves to bypass God. They seemed unconcerned about human effort to drive to church and eat lunch after or even do things to help homeless. My question is how do they decide what human activities is bad and why do they seem more concerned with obeying God too much than not obeying God. If everything is already predetermined with no freewill then why do they meet for church at all and do they see any value in following God or obeying the Bible, which could possibly be considered works to them? Maybe someone more experience in this faith can explain, bless you.

Thanks again GiGi for adding to this matter & our understanding. And thanks too to Fuji for your further comment here. Blessings to both of you.

Hello Chris,

Thanks for your addition to this topic of discussion. If you have ever been to a Catholic Mass your will note in the missal (order of service) Communion is called the "Sacrifice " of the Mass and those I know who are Catholic do see it as that of a non-bloody sacrifice.

Those like the RCC, Lutheran, and others who believe that Jesus is present in the bread and wine and that we do partake of his body and blood believe so because they take literally what Jesus said in the Last Supper Institution of the new covenant meal and in John 6. Others who believe in an actual spiritual presence of Jesus in the bread and wine see His words as more spiritually actualized to those who partake. And those who believe that the bread and wine are a memorial meal see His words as being symbolic. This last way of seeing communion as a memorial is reflective of more recent Protestant teaching after the lives of Luther, Calvin, and Anglicanism.

Dear lady , it is clear to me that you are in no position to give your son the help that he needs , you need outside help . Obviously there will be many prayers made for you and your son but remember that God often accomplishes His purpose through us human beings .

You son needs an advocate . Someone who he trusts and who respects him , to speak out on his behalf . Is there not another family member who is able to fulfill this role ? Or a close friend of his ? If not , try looking on the internet for charitable organisations that specialise in intervening on behalf of disabled people . They are out there I know . You are not in a physical position to help him other than to make some phone calls to friends or relatives or , search on the internet for disabled advocacy services . It's obvious your soon needs someone with a determined voice to help him . You can find that person or organisation . Pray to God , through Christ , that He might send you a helper , pray every day for this and search every day . Be patient and trust in God's love and mercy . Let us know how things go if you can .

Thank you for your reply . Based on those scriptures you referenced you have convinced me of the great privilege we have been given and how seriously we should take it . Thank you .
