21 | Repentance is Sorry or Walk From Sin? | Matt 3:8 | bowler | 206749 | ||
How far does repentance go? How active is repentance is it saying sorry and meaning it and moving into Godly living, or is it possible to say it and keep staying in a sinful situation becuase life would be much easier to live? This may seem like a weak question, but I have real pause to wonder what others think about this important issue as of late. blessings abound, bowler |

22 | God Not Give More Than We Can Bear? | 1 Cor 10:13 | bowler | 206748 | ||
I have heard it said many a time that God will not give you more than you are able to bear in regards to trials and tribulations as, "God will not give you more than you are able". Are there any scriptures to support this? Jesus died, Peter and Paul both say we are called to suffer, even if it means death. Who can bear death? Is it true God will not give you more than you cn bear? blessings abound, bowler |

23 | Consists Not in Words But in Power? | 1 Cor 4:20 | bowler | 206747 | ||
What is Paul talking about here? The whole church is built on the word of God, which has the power. So why does Paul say that the kingdom of God consists not in words but in power. blessings abound, bowler |
||||||
24 | Boast in the Lord About? | 2 Cor 10:17 | bowler | 206746 | ||
I have seen this verse twice now, once here and once in 1 Corinthians 1:31. Why does Paul say this in both instances? Are they related? Is this about something he is not talking about very plainly that is happening to him? One setting seems to be not being willing to make his boast in wisdom, nobleness, and might, the other setting seems to have to do with building the gospel on his own foundation and not on another's. blessings abound, bowler |

25 | Armies of Heaven Fight With Jesus? | Rev 19:14 | bowler | 206721 | ||
I am trying to figure out if the armies of heaven, clothed in white linen, which represents the saints, do the actual fighting with Jesus? It seems like Jesus is slaying people with the word of God out of his mouth, so I am wondering what the saints are doing there with Him since they are called His army? All the other times in Revelation that you see white linen it is the saints, only one time you have angels, but the word means something different than white that they were wearing, "gleaming" I think it is. blessings abound, bowler |

26 | 70 A.D. or Revelation? | Dan 11:31 | bowler | 206720 | ||
Does this abomination of desolation which is also the same as the abomination of desolation that is also mentioned in Mathew 24:15 the same thing as Revelation 13:14, 15 - as if this is the "setting up of an abomination and doing away with the regular sacrifice"? I realize that many believe that this already happened when the destruction of the temple happened in 70 A.D. But how could it have since no abomination of desolation - no replacement of worship from right to wrong took place as Daniel describes? Daniel seems to have that the abomination of desolation means a replacing of right worship to wrong worship, which did not happen in 70 A.D, only the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem happened. blessings abound, bowler |

27 | Contrast Exodus 20:5 and Ezekiel 18:20? | Ezek 18:20 | bowler | 206597 | ||
How should we view this verse in light of Exodus 20:5 which appears to be somewhat opposite? blessings abound, bowler |
||||||
28 | Job Talking About Jesus or Eternal Life? | Job 19:25 | bowler | 206596 | ||
Is Job prophesying about Jesus here, or is Job merely talking about the Father God as his God of hope for eternal life? blessings abound, bowler |

29 | Verse 14 About Judas or Israel and Judah | Zech 11:14 | bowler | 206595 | ||
The rest of the verse surrounding this verse are talking about Judas the betrayer, as far as I can tell from verses 13 - 17, but 14 doesn't seem to fit, but seem to have something to do with Zechariah's time. I am trying to figure out how verse 14 could be applied to Judas, it seems to have more to do with verses 6 - 12 of the same passage and seems to speak more to Zechariah telling the people of his time that the Lord is going to allow them to be split in two as a nation. Chapters 12 and 13 also would uphold this notion of what 13:6 - 17 are about. How should we understand verse 14 - as future prophecy of Judas, or as present prophecy of a split Israel? blessins abound, bowler |

30 | Psalm Refers to Jesus Calming the Sea? | Ps 107:26 | bowler | 206594 | ||
Is it possible that this part of the Psalm 107:23 - 32 is referring to Jesus calming the Seas when the He was in the boat with the disciples and when He was walking on the water? blessings abound, bowler |
||||||
31 | Questions of Interpretation? | Deut 30:13 | bowler | 206593 | ||
Would you see this as a prophecy of Jesus walking on the water to be a testimony so that the disciples would get who He was? Would you think that the preceeding verses are talking about Jesus going up to heaven to get the testimony as in Romans 10:6, 7? And further do you think that Paul was putting into scripture in Romans something Moses did not intend to be there in Deuteronomy? blessings abound, bowler |

32 | Why Saul Does Not Know David's Father? | 1 Sam 17:55 | bowler | 206592 | ||
Trying to figure out why Saul does not know who David is a son of because of 1 Samuel 16:17 - 20. Any thoughts on this? blessing abound, bowler |

33 | Disciples One With Christ? | Eph 2:5 | bowler | 206591 | ||
I am interested in eveyone's take on when the disciples were made alive together with Christ, the actual definitive event. Another way of putting this is when were the disciples united in faith with Christ into the body of Christ? Should we say that the disciples were united with Christ when they first believed, or at Pentecost when the church started? If the disciples were walking around and doing the work of Christ while He was a live in His name, weren't they "in Christ" then, saved then, by grace? I would greatly appreciate anyone's thoughts on this. Sorry I posted this in the wrong place the first time. blessings abound, bowler |

34 | Verse For Testing Leaders? | 1 John 4:1 | bowler | 206394 | ||
I am having trouble finding the verse that speaks about testing those who are being considered for positions of leadership. Is there such a verse in the first place, and who does the testing? blessings abound, bowler |

35 | Suffering For The Sake Of Christ? | 1 Pet 4:12 | bowler | 206393 | ||
I am struggling with which things are to be considered to be suffering for the sake of Christ. I have heard it said that those who are suffering in their marriages are not suffering for the sake of Christ but because of mutual sin and that suffering for the sake of Christ is to suffer for the proclaimation of the gospel only. Is that suffering for the sake of Christ is only in the doing of the work of Christ, or is it that any sufferig to obey Christ is suffering for the sake of Christ? blessings abound, bowler |

36 | Christians Apostate Same As Anit-Christ? | 1 Tim 4:1 | bowler | 206392 | ||
What is meant here by falling away from the faith? I do not by any means pretend to know. How can one fall away from the faith if one has an assurance of faith? Is this talking about those back then who at first were doing the right things, but then taught to do the wrong things, and does this mean they have the spirit of the anti-Christ, or is it that they are still saved but believe the wrong things? blessings abound, bowler |

37 | Biblical Function Of Elders? | Num 11:16 | bowler | 206391 | ||
Looking at the Biblical idea of elders here and tracing it from the OT into the NT. In Numbers 11:16-17 the Lord grants to Moses help in judging the matters of the people. In 1 Timothy 3:1-13 Paul shows the qualifications for elders. What would be the difference if any between how the Lord had elders functioning in the OT and how they should be functioning now according to the NT? blessings abound, bowler |

38 | How Far Are We To Be Tolerant? | Eph 4:2 | bowler | 206389 | ||
I have come accross as of late, members of the church who seem to be not exactly very good examples of Christian behavior. In particular a number of the ladies auxiliary where I fellowship have a tendency to show a lack of the fruit of the spirit when dealing with others whom they either do not agree with about how things should be done around the church, or who they do not agree with about how to interpret scriptures in a Bible study setting, and also in social but Christian settings. I have been a silent observer of this and have not said anything to the elders or to the pastor and keep on praying for these ladies who by and large seem to do more around the church than most of the men and there are more of them attending the Bible study setting then there are the men. In fact there are more ladies in our church than there are men. In the social but Christian settings these ladies hold a lot of sway about how things ought to be done. This is in no way whatsoever being posted as disaparging remarks to the ladies on this site, or to denounce ladies anywhere from being involved actively in church or at any Bible study, including this one, or to mean that ladies should be seen as overbearing in social but Christian settings just because they are involved. How far should we go as church goers, as members of the whole body of Christ, and as men, in being tolerant to members of the body of Christ in any Bible based setting? And how far should we go in not speaking against our sisters and being their judge? Does saying anything about something that is wrong qualify here, or are we to understand some other principle I am missing here? The main verse I am thinking of is the one posted, but the other two I have in mind are - James 5:9 Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door. James 4:11 Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it. Truly seeking a Biblical answer to this one. blessings abound, bowler |

39 | What Happened To The Tribe Of Dan? | Rev 7:5 | bowler | 206334 | ||
I would like to know what happened to the tribe of Dan? Revelation chapter 7:5-8, lists the tribes as those from among whom the 144,000 were to be choosen as the following although I have reversed the order because of the order elswhere in the Bible - 1)Reuben 2)Simeon 3)Levi 4)Judah 5)Zebulun 6)Issachar 7)Gad 8)Asher 9)Naphtali 10)Joseph 11)Benjamin Numbers 1:20-47 lists the tribes as a list of tribes as warriors, excluding Levites as warriors, but mentioning them as - 1)Reuben 2)Simeon 3)Levites 4)Judah 5)Zebulun 6)Issachar 7)Dan 8)Gad 9)Asher 10)Naphtali 11)Joseph 12)Benjamin 13)Manasseh Genesis 49:3-27 1)Reuben 2)Simeon 3)Levi 4)Judah 5)Zebulan 6)Isaachar 7)Dan 8)Gad 9)Asher 10)Naphtali 11)Joseph 12)Benjamin So by the time we get to Revelation, what has happened to the tribe of Dan? blessings abound, bowler |

40 | When and where, Last Words of Christ? | John 19:29 | bowler | 206318 | ||
I have been trying to understand when and where the tradition in some churches of preaching "the seven last words" about on Good Friday came about. I searched to no avail through the web for the inception of this fine tradition of the church. Where and when did this tradition of preaching the last word of Christ our glorious Lord begin? blessings abuond, bowler |
