204 | Dear InHzsvc, what do you mean by that? | Rom 5:6 | Makarios | 6326 | ||
Dear InHzsvc, what do you mean? The Lord has control over me and my emotions. He has not 'lost control' over me in any way, unless I decide to let my emotions rule over me. I am not full of pride, it is you who are dodging the very essence of what we are discussing. I feel that it is you and your Calvinist friends who are full of heresy, pride and everything else that discourages and leads away from the truth. And I am concerned of the heretics leading the church astray. | ||||||

213 | Is Interracial marriage Bible supported? | 2 Corinthians | Makarios | 3704 | ||
Is Interracial marriage supported in the Bible? I have completed a study tonight after recently wondering if the Bible supports or does not support marriage between two people of a different race (I am referring to a Male/Female marriage of course, since homosexuality and lesbianism is forbidden [Gen. 19:5; Lev. 18:22-23,20:13; Deut. 23:17; Judg. 19:22-24; 1 Kings 14:24,15:12; Rom. 1:24-27; 1 Cor. 6:9-10]. Polygamy is also forbidden [Lev. 18:18; Deut. 17:17; Titus 1:6]). Now you must understand me: I have a great and healthy respect for all people since we are all one in Christ (Gal. 3:28). In fact, skin color is the Creator's choice (Jer. 13:23), and a black man named Simon (of Cyrene, which was a city in North Africa) helped Jesus carry His cross (Mark 15:21). I have many friends who are of a different race than I am and that is not the aim or goal of this study. My question is: Does the Bible permit people of different race to intermarry? First of all, there are situations in the Bible that condemn interracial marriage. Isaac sought a wife from his own father's family (Gen. 24:1-4) and so did Jacob (Gen. 27:46-28:2). The Israelites were commanded not to intermarry (Ex. 34:16; Deut. 7:3-4; Ezra 9:1-2,12; Neh. 10:30, 13:23-27; Josh. 23:12-13), but this was mostly on the basis of leading the people astray through foreign gods (Mal. 2:11; Deut. 17:17; 1 Cor. 7:39). However, God did permit the Israelites to marry foreign women in other situations: captives from war (Deut. 21:10-13), and because of a 'shortage' of women (Judges 21:21-23). Timothy, the youthful early church leader, was a half-Jew (Acts 16:1) and Moses's wife Zipporah was an Ethiopian woman (Num. 12:1). The Bible does not clearly state whether or not God's people should marry interracially, but it does say that the partner should be a believer in Christ (1 Cor. 7:39, 2 Cor. 6:14). It is interesting to note that all nations and people are important to God (Amos 9:7) and having black skin is beautiful (Song Of Solomon 1:5-6). Jesus usurped the racist traditions of the Israelites (Matt. 15:21-28; Luke 10:25-37) and the Bible even speaks of 'hatred without reason' (Psalm 69:4) and anti-Semitism (Esther 3:8-9, 5:10-14). Also, Gentiles are despised, the Israelites are despised (Gen. 43:32) and foreigners are excluded from fellowship (Neh. 13:1-3). The Bible also encourages freedom from slavery (1 Cor. 7:21; The book of Exodus) In conclusion, interracial marriage is not against the will of God based upon the Bible. It remains a question of being yoked/unequally yoked in fellowship with God Himself and choosing a husband/wife that will help you to enrich your walk in the Lord (1 Cor. 7:35). I wanted to share this with you, since I was wondering what the Bible specifically said about such things. Feel free to tell me how you agree/disagree. |

216 | Three different heavens in the Bible? | 2 Cor 12:2 | Makarios | 4115 | ||
The Scriptures make reference to the "third heaven" in 2 Cor. 12:2, which is the ineffable and glorious dwelling place of God in all His glory. It is called the "heaven of heavens" (Nehemiah 9:6 NASB) and the "highest heaven" (1 Kings 8:27; 2 Chronicles 2:6).If God's abode is the 'third' heaven, then what are the first and second heavens? Scripture gives us the answer: The first heaven is the earth's atmosphere (Job 35:5). The second heaven is the stellar universe (Genesis 1:17; Deut. 17:3).. Any other thoughts? | ||||||

220 | Church "Covenant" unbiblical? | Eph 1:23 | Makarios | 32276 | ||
Greetings all! If we automatically become members of the body of Christ at salvation (Acts 2:47; 20:28; Ephesians 1:23; 5:25), then what is "church membership?" If we are already members of the church (the body of Christ), as the Bible sees it (when we become saved), then why do some churches have a "Church Covenant"? For instance, I attend a Conservative Mennonite/Anabaptist church, where I had to agree to a "Church Covenant" in order to be a member of that church. I already fulfilled and continue to fulfill all of the obligations of the Covenant (obligations including 'short hair' for men, the wearing of the veil for women) just by being who I am. So there is no problem whatsoever for me in fulfilling any of the points in the "Covenant." However, my question is: is it entirely Biblical for a church to make the acceptance of a "Church Covenant" a requirement for membership in their congregation in the first place? Thank you in advance for your answers! |
