Acts 3:23

[Tim B]

Acts 3:21-24 (Young's Literal Translation)

21whom it behoveth heaven, indeed, to receive till times of a restitution of all things, of which God spake through the mouth of all His holy prophets from the age.

22`For Moses, indeed, unto the fathers said -- A prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like to me; him shall ye hear in all things, as many as he may speak unto you;

23and it shall be, every soul that may not hear that prophet shall be utterly destroyed out of the people;

24and also all the prophets from Samuel and those following in order, as many as spake, did also foretell of these days.

***

Does anybody know what this is speaking of?
Do you think it's talking about the Jews that were exterminated in 70 AD for ignoring Jesus' warnings?

PS: It should be kept in mind that the "soul" does not equal a person's spirit. (The spirit is what goes to God when one dies.)

[Cardinal]

 :cloud9: Notice that it says the SOUL that does not hear the voice of this prophet (which is the Spirit of the risen Christ/Holy Ghost) will be destroyed out from among the people.

Conversely, if we hear and obey Him which is what the faith He is looking for is, we are promised that our days will be long upon the earth. Simply put, rebellion kills. Blessings....

[Dallas]

For Moses, indeed, unto the fathers said -- A prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like to me; him shall ye hear in all things, as many as he may speak unto you;

23and it shall be, every soul that may not hear that prophet shall be utterly destroyed out of the people;

Moses told the fathers... this refering to the law and the jews who needed to;
Every soul who may not hear..... listen to the law

Simply put, Moses commanded the jews to listen to the words of god otherwise they would be destroyed for faliure. Jesus has come and now because of His obedience and His faithfulness we have been raised up from that destruction.

[Seth]

A jew is not one outwardly but inwardly. Anyone who rejects Christ is a gentile (regardless of their nationality) and are therefore cut off from the people. Some people are outside the gates of New Jerusalem (the bride), and are therefore destroyed away from the people (ie rooted out). That is why heaven receives Jesus UNTIL the times of the restitution of all, because the Bride tells them to come and drink all those who thirst..

That's very cool! I never realized that. That would also agree with 1 Cor. 15:22-28 when Christ restores all things by subjecting His enemies and then handing over His reign to the Father.

[Seth]

Yup and it also agrees with this:

1 Cor 6:2-3
Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?

Romans 8:18-21
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

[Tim B]

Yup and it also agrees with this:

1 Cor 6:2-3
Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

I've wondered about 1 Cor 6:2-3. How do you think we'll judge them?

Because, if it was me, I'd just say: off to chastisement for those that need it, and anybody else, who doesn't, they can join with God. (I'd assume the large majority of mankind, if not all of mankind would need the chastisement, but I'm just making the point.)

Also, in Romans 18-21: how can we assume that the creature is the rest of the people in world? To me, it seems to be talking about physical creation being freed from decay and corruption. I mean, I'd love this to mean all people in the creation too, but if you had any further information, that'd be awesome. :)

Well, the thing is: it won't be you. It will be Christ THROUGH you. In our current state, we have not experienced just how ONE we will be, because the purchased possession has not been "redeemed" meaning like when someone retrieves the prize that they won (ie to redeem a lottery winning). Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom, so as long as we have this flesh we will not be perfected.

Christ is appointed as the judge and we are appointed as his body. All things flow from the Father, through the Son, to and through the Body. Nobody in the body will be doing anything independent of that order.

Also, in Romans 18-21: how can we assume that the creature is the rest of the people in world? To me, it seems to be talking about physical creation being freed from decay and corruption. I mean, I'd love this to mean all people in the creation too, but if you had any further information, that'd be awesome. :)

I think because you quoted it earlier: "That would also agree with 1 Cor. 15:22-28 when Christ restores all things by subjecting His enemies and then handing over His reign to the Father."

[Seth]

Regarding Romans 8, a good question to ask is "Since Paul is talking about creation, what human being is NOT part of creation?" The exclusions to not come from the text. They come from those who already think that not everyone will be saved. The text itself simply says that creation will be freed from bondage and no exceptions are provided. Are humans NOT part of creation? See? The exception comes not from the inspired text, but from doctrinal beliefs preconceived from other places in the Bible. This is why, when it comes to 1 Cor. 15:22-28 you will get arguments that try to unravel what it clearly says, yet when you ask for a clear quote that simply says "not everyone will eventually be saved" they cannot find it. So they argue against plain reading using assumptions drawn from other parts of the Bible which SEEM to SUGGEST that not everyone will eventually be saved.

If there was a passage of scripture that actually literally said that not everyone will ever be saved, THEN that could be used to limit Romans 8. Absent of such a clear statement, gainsaysers will look at a parable and ASSUME that it MEANS that not everyone will be saved, and then they use THAT assumption as a limiter to Romans 8's "creation." Yet such a passage of scripture would clearly oppose 1 Corinthians 15 which does the polar opposite: it guarantees salvation for everyone and EXPLICITLY says so, among a context that includes "all who die in Adam."

The plain reading of Romans 8 is on the side of the UR believer. Limitations depend on the INTERPRETATIONS of the ET believer.

Galatians 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

There is no longer Jew or Gentile, read ephesians chapter 2. Jesus restructured the way of things. All people are included into the sacrifice ALREADY! THEY ARE ALL INCLUDED!!!

[Seth]

Yes they are all included in the sacrifice. They are all reconciled to God. All they need now is a circumcision of the heart, a deliverance from bondage to death in which they walk.

[Dallas]

You seriously work really hard to seperate yourself from the "unbelievers" don't you. Somehow you need to be set apart, you need for some reason to be above them.

Listen, because of Jesus all people are the same, we are all going from glory to glory, the glory of the law to the glory of grace... we are all going along the road. I find it interesting that on this site of inclusion the majority of your talks are about how everybody is excluded... everbody except universalists.

-Seth

They don't need anything! Jesus was is and will always be everything anybody will ever need. They just haven't heard, God reveals to those of which He desires, if someone hasn't heard it's becuase God hasn't revealed it, not becuase they aren't in it.

Colossians 2:10"and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all (Z)rule and authority;

   11and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of (AB)the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ;

   12having been (AC)buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also (AD)raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who (AE)raised Him from the dead.

   13When you were (AF)dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He (AG)made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions,



1 Corinthians 1:30 "But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

[Seth]

You seriously work really hard to seperate yourself from the "unbelievers" don't you. Somehow you need to be set apart, you need for some reason to be above them.

Why do you attack my motives?

I find it interesting that on this site of inclusion the majority of your talks are about how everybody is excluded... everbody except universalists.

I just said everyone was included. I said: "Yes they are all included in the sacrifice. "

They don't need anything! Jesus was is and will always be everything anybody will ever need. They just haven't heard

You said they don't need anything. Then you said "they haven't heard." That means they need to hear. You think the prostitute needs nothing? She doesn't need actual deliverance from her situation?

If you say "yes" then you recognize that she does need something. That is why it is called the circumcision of the heart by the Spirit.

Romans 5:10
For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!

Here is how:

2 Thessalonians 2:13
But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to SALVATION THROUGH sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

Telling me that sinners don't need anything is like telling a man trapped under the wheels of a semi that he doesn't need anything. I hope you don't think that reconciliation and salvation are the same thing.

[Dallas]

Let me ask you... before you were aware of what Jesus did you had different behaviour right?

Since you have become more aware of what he has done, what He did change? His work hadn't changed right, the cross is the cross... it was you who changed.

No, the fullness of all things is complete in Him. Just as you came to be aware you were changed by the understanding that because of Him...

If you want to argue symantics go ahead....

Paul taught, That everyone who calls on the Lord will be saved, how can they call if they don't know...

Just because they don't know doesn't mean they aren't covered by all things.

You've been called and still think you aren't covered in all things. It's no wonder that you preach a message of works excluding people.

All people are saved, does that mean everyone is aware, of course not, so how then can they benifit from what has taken place. Thus the real need for eveangalism. Not to stop people from sinning of get them purified or anything, Jesus delt with all that... we preach so that they can recieve permission to be saved because they are... not because they are out and need to get in.... we preach because they are in and need to know that they are in.

[Seth]

Let me ask you... before you were aware of what Jesus did you had different behaviour right?

Since you have become more aware of what he has done, what He did change? His work hadn't changed right, the cross is the cross... it was you who changed.

That's my point Dallas.

Paul taught, That everyone who calls on the Lord will be saved, how can they call if they don't know...

Just because they don't know doesn't mean they aren't covered by all things.

It's hard to believe that you think you are arguing against something I said. Everyone is reconciled, NOT everyone is saved. They are saved from sin when they call upon the name, and as you said, how can you be saved if you don't know? Because you think distinguishing terms amounts to "arguing semantics" you have no idea why Paul said "if we were reconciled when we were enemies, how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved through his life." You seem to think that the clear difference drawn there is nothing but a matter of semantics. That is why you claim people are saved when they call upon the name, yet they are already saved. No, they are reconciled, THEN saved. Guess what, that's not semantics. It's what the Bible says!

You've been called and still think you aren't covered in all things. It's no wonder that you preach a message of works excluding people.

What? You just said: "Paul taught, That everyone who calls on the Lord will be saved, how can they call if they don't know..." Hello? That is exactly what I said. Preaching a message of works? The whole point of salvation is to BE ..... SAVED......FROM......SIN.

Philippians 2:12-13
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Since you seem to have such a problem with "works" do you have a problem with God being within people to will and to work?

Ephesians 2:10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

The whole point of being saved from sin is to be saved from evil works. Was Paul saved from being a murderer? How? Because Jesus caused him to STOP being a murderer. Paul changed his works by the power of the spirit. I never said that works BRING salvation. I said that salvation CHANGES works.

All people are saved

Sorry bro. As you said "people are saved when they call upon the name of the lord."

People are not saved from sin until they are released from slavery to it. Everyone is reconciled. If you didn't think it was just a matter of semantics - the clear distinctions drawn by Paul himself regarding reconciliation leading to salvation - you wouldn't contradict yourself by claiming that people are saved when they call upon the name, yet already are saved.  :doh:

"The whole point of being saved from sin is to be saved from evil works." - Seth

This is why you don't get it. You are a work, law based thinker. You are trying to be saved from bad behaviour.

You don't even understand what being saved is about. You honestly think all of creation is to deal with some bad behaivour? Well I hope for you one day you won't do anything that doesn't end out not being anything but a profitable situation... eventhough it will never come.

About semantics... I never said people get saved by confession... apparently you do, better run out quickly and get everyone to mouth the sinner's prayer. You got to read the whole area buddy. I thought you were up on etiqutte enough to know that when scripture is quuoted it inferrs you read the whole area.

When Paul teaches you confess, but first comes the unvieling to your heart, the heart's veil is lifted by Jesus, then the heart see what He did and then from the heart cries the truth, Jesus is Lord....

But how can you tell someone they are included but are held off until they do something. You can because you believe in salvation through confession, not salvation through Jesus.

Oh, by the way, being saved... is about being restored to the image and likeness of God, walking with Him and being included in all He does, enjoying the life of God.... all while hear on this planet.

So don't peddle your work ladden salvation to me.

Yes all were reconcilled, and all are saved... right now!

"For it is this that we labour and strive, for we have fixed our confidence in the one and living God, Who is the saviour of the whole world, especially of believers." 1 Timothy 4:10

Every one is saved, not everyone has come into the especially... Paul taught this. Maybe you should welcome some underserved favor... instead of worrying about some bad behaviour that ends with the moment.

[Beloved Servant]

POW! - BAMM!

I am not thinking about the Law of Moses. That is what you clearly do not understand. I am talking about the law of liberty in Christ. You obviously are under the illusion that imprisoned people are free and that sick people are well. That is what makes your doctrine such a willing cripple. I am talking about liberty FROM sickness.

Matthew 1:21
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from (apo - away from) their sins (hamartia).

We aren't just talking about "bad behavior." We are talking about the flesh. Jesus intends to save people AWAY from their sin. Here are some scriptures you will most likely have a HUGE problem with:

Phi 2:12
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out (outwardly work) YOUR OWN SALVATION with fear and trembling, for it is God WHO WORKS IN YOU, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Titus 2:11-14
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

About semantics... I never said people get saved by confession... apparently you do, better run out quickly and get everyone to mouth the sinner's prayer. You got to read the whole area buddy. I thought you were up on etiqutte enough to know that when scripture is quuoted it inferrs you read the whole area.

Sinner's prayer? When did I mention a sinner's prayer?

When Paul teaches you confess, but first comes the unvieling to your heart, the heart's veil is lifted by Jesus, then the heart see what He did and then from the heart cries the truth, Jesus is Lord....

But how can you tell someone they are included but are held off until they do something. You can because you believe in salvation through confession, not salvation through Jesus.

I believe in salvation through Jesus. I never said anyone was "held off" and I did confirm that everyone IS included in the sacrifice. What I am saying is that what people need is salvation FROM sin. The Bible TEACHES ME that. It also teaches me that salvation from sin has a direct changing power from evil works (like genocide, rape and incest) to good works that come from love (like healing, kindness and feeding the poor).

If you bring the ministry of reconciliation to a murderer, and he says "great thanks." Then continues to murder people, then that person has not yet been saved from the DEATH in which they both work and walk in.

Salvation from evil works is TO THE BENEFIT of the one who walks in them so that they can have a better life. Proof:

Rom 6:3-9
that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the LIKENESS of his death, we shall be also in the LIKENESS of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth (now watch closely) WE....SHOULD.....NOT.....SERVE.....SIN. (keep watching) 

For he that is dead IS....FREED.....FROM....SIN.

Do you have a problem with any of that?

Oh, by the way, being saved... is about being restored to the image and likeness of God, walking with Him and being included in all He does, enjoying the life of God.... all while hear on this planet.

REALLY? YOU JUST PROVED MY POINT! Thank you Dallas. Thank you for REPEATING MY POINT!!!!!!!!!!

Being saved "is about being RESTORED to the image and likeness of God, walking with Him and being included in all his ways, enjoying the life of God all while here on this planet."

Wow. You finally get it.

That's why I repeat the scripture themselves:

Titus 2:11-14
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation (now, remember what you just said about salvation) hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, ZEALOUS..... OF...... GOOD.... WORKS.

Do you have a problem with that?

So don't peddle your work ladden salvation to me.

Work laden salvation? You obviously have no use for being "zealous of good works." And you are apparently clueless as to why the Gospel is indeed about replacing evil works with good ones, which is why God is looking for a "peculiar people zealous" for those good works.

You apparently are under some belief that the CONVERSION of a MURDERER to a HEALER is somehow beside the point. But the fact is when someone works healing rather than murder, it reveals how salvation CHANGES works from evil to good.

Yes all were reconcilled, and all are saved... right now!

Sorry "buddy." You don't know the scriptures. All are reconciled by his death, and HOW MUCH MORE SO, having been reconciled shall we be saved BY HIS LIFE. That is a direct quote. Look it up.

Your definition of salvation is this:

1) being restored to the image and likeness of God
2) walking with Him
3) being included in all his ways
4) enjoying the life of God

Now, when a man rapes a child is he

1) reflecting "the image and likeness of God" as he is raping the child?
2) is he "walking with God" as he is raping the child?
3) is he walking in "the way of God" as he is raping the child?
4) is he "enjoying the life of God" as he is raping the child?

NO!

You want to know why? BECAUSE HE HAS NOT YET BEEN SAVED FROM BEING A RAPIST!

The point of the gospel is this:

Ephesians 2:10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus UNTO.............. GOOD.......... WORKS, which God hath before ordained THAT.......WE.........SHOULD........WALK.........IN........THEM.

Clear enough for you?

Titus 2:11-14
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation (now, again, remember what you just said about salvation) hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, DENYING UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY LUSTS, we should SOBERLY, RIGHTOUSLY and GODLY, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people,ZEALOUS........OF........GOOD.......WORKS.



Is that clear enough for you? Do you have a problem with those scriptures?



Go into a hospital and tell everyone with neumonia that they don't actually have it.
Tell the cancer patients, great news, you never had cancer in the first place!
Tell all the bleeding gunshot victims that their wounds aren't actually there.



That's how foolish it is to say that people are already saved from sin while still in slavery to it. Wake up, Dallas.
