21 | Jesus Speaking of Unbelievers? | Matt 25:35 | bowler | 207046 | ||
I am trying to figure out what exactly Jesus is saying in this verse I chose. Would you say that Jesus is talking about believers, unbelievers, or both? Hebrews 13:3 Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill treated, since you yourselves also are in the body. It seems that back then if a person was in prison in those lands there was nothing provided for the prisoner - someone had to bring food and necessities from outside and bring it to the prisoner. Just an unworthy son. blessings abound, bowler |

22 | Jesus and Children as Paedobaptism? | Mark 10:14 | bowler | 207282 | ||
I am confused about something. Here we have Jesus saying do not hinder the children from coming to Him. If I am not mistaken Jesus was referring to more than just children coming to sit on His lap, or get a hug. He seems to be saying, that children, at least in His day, were receiving the kingdom of God, were getting saved? How come then, we now do not permit children to be baptized? Is this why there were "forms of Paedopabtism", practiced by some of the Great Divines, or no that is not why they did it? Is it that children who really, truly exhibit in their own words a true understanding that they are sinners who need repentance is what Jesus meant? And did that later get stretched out of the context He had about children coming into the kingdom as Paedopabtims? Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |

23 | What Happened to The 70 Disciples? | Luke 10:1 | bowler | 207283 | ||
I am trying to understand what happened to the 70 disciples? I keep reading the Gospels but cannot get a grasp on if they stayed with Jesus, or left in John 6:60-66. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |
||||||
24 | Praying to the Holy Spirit? | John 14:14 | bowler | 206217 | ||
Is it improper to pray to the Holy Spirit? I am seeing here in the verse that Jesus says we can pray to Him, and we know in the verse before to ask the Father in the name of Jesus. But is there anywhere that the Bible speaks of praying to the Holy Spirit? I am thinking it is proper to reverence the Holy Spirit as part of the Godhead, and does not the whole Godhead deserve worship? Is not part of worship prayer? blessings abound, bowler |

25 | 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 |

26 | 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 |
||||||
27 | 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 |
||||||
28 | What is the treasure? | 2 Cor 4:7 | bowler | 206224 | ||
What is the treasure in earthen vessels, is it the gospel? Is the treasure in earthen vessels the power of God? Is the treausure the life of Jesus in our body? Is is the treasure the knowledge of the glory of God? I am stuck here trying to figure this verse out because there are so many possibilities in the surrounding verse. blessings abound, bowler |
||||||
29 | 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 |
||||||
30 | Apostles, how many what qualified them? | Eph 1:1 | bowler | 206221 | ||
Altogether how many apostles were there according to the whole New Testament and what qualified one to be an apostle? I am looking through Acts and seeing apostles name that didn't seem to be appointed by Jesus or do anything in the Bible that is visible by reading it... blessings abound, bowler |
||||||
31 | 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 |

32 | 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 |

33 | Music in church unholy? | Eph 5:19 | bowler | 206220 | ||
In thinking about the model of the first century church, after trying to persuade believers of a certain denomination that I do not belong to, that music should be allowed in worhship, I am trying to reconcile that concept of music in church today with that you do not see that activity in the first century church. Any scriptures, thoughts on whether or not it is Biblical to have music in church being that we don't find a record of it in the first century church? I have the same question about praise dancing we don't see that in the first century church either, but we do in the OT? The problem for my thinking is that we do see both of these things in the OT, but not the NT, but that there seems to be some acceptance in certain circles for music of a certain type as being seen as holy if it is largey the old church hymns and worldy if it is too contemporary. But historicaly speaking the hymns of the 1900's and 1800's were seen as radical, unholy, and an abomination to God because they were not what was considered to be the holy old hymns of the church at that time. Now we have the same problem, except that the majority of hymns that are seen as holy are the same ones from the 1900's and 1800's found in our pew hymnals that were once considered to be the music of the devil as it was called (along with the earlier ones from the church fathers and the middles age church that have survived the test of time). What we have here is a situation where from one group of centuries to another a certain group of musical arrangements and words is held to be holy. When something new comes along which uses new words and new phrases to worship God it is considered unholy. blessing abound, bowler |

34 | Marriage as a Covenant Relationship? | Eph 5:32 | bowler | 206752 | ||
Seeing as how marriage is like Christ and the church, and seeing as how Christ is in a covenant relationship with the church, isn't marriage a covenant subject to the rules of a covenant? Would like to hear the views of others, and ask questions about what I read, but not to foster ill will or a debate, only to understand. blessings abound, bowler |
||||||
35 | Fruitless Scripture Discussion? | 1 Tim 1:6 | bowler | 206753 | ||
How would you see this verse in light of talking about the scriptures? Being that, all scripture is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, is there any Biblical subject that should be off limits for discussion between the saints? According to this scripture "all" scripture profits and should have an application and we need them all to be eqquipped for every good work. What topic could possibly be off limits between saints? I am sincerely seeking an answer to this because I need to hear and read what others think of this. 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 | Speculation? | 2 Tim 2:23 | bowler | 206754 | ||
What in your estimation consititutes ingnorant and foolish speculations? Does this only apply to ideas that don't have any basis in scriptures, or is it more than that? blessings abound, bowler |
||||||
38 | What Parts Makes Covenant Work? | Heb 9:16 | bowler | 206751 | ||
What constitutes the elements of a covenant? Not just who is in it, and not who made covenants in the first place, but what are the differing parts of how a covenant works as God has laid it out from the OT to the NT to now? blessings abound, bowler |
||||||
39 | Does God Condone War Now? | Heb 11:33 | bowler | 208041 | ||
Seeing as how these men all qonquered kingdoms at either the commands of God, or in an effort to keep Israel intact as the choosen people of God, how is it that we are saying that war is all right today? God has not come and commanded us directly to fight anyone now? I see a lot of "problems" all ready with what I have asked, but that is okay, because the whole thing is a "problematic". Some don't see it that way, they see it as cut and dry - as that God allows or endorses war to save countries from destruction today, they use Romans 13, they use a lot of scriptures, many of which have more to do with submitting to evil governments than the "preservation" of "good ones", as if there are any nations that God does not now consider to be evil. The New Jerusalem is not here yet, the millenium has not come yet, there are no "good nations" yet in my estimation, there are worse ones and better ones, but not "good ones". blessings abound, bowler |

40 | Isaiah Sawn In Two? | Heb 11:37 | bowler | 206755 | ||
I have heard that Isaih was sawn in two and would like to know what the source of that is from? Thank you. blessings abound, bowler |
