Hello kalos, I recommend STR to all that ask about such things. It's a great ministry. Steve |

622 | Matt 25:5 Why Bridegroom delayed?? | Matt 25:5 | srbaegon | 190949 | ||
Hello Missionary35, You analogy falls apart quickly. First, the passage says nothing about being "full" about of being "empty." Therefore, what you say about being full of the Holy Ghost has no meaning here. Second, please provide Scripture that tells us that the Holy Ghost departs from believers. My Bible indicates otherwise: Ephes. 1:13-14 (ESV) In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

623 | Matt 25:5 Why Bridegroom delayed?? | Matt 25:5 | srbaegon | 191046 | ||
Hello Missionary35, This passage does not speak of being filled with the Holy Spirit either. If you want to make the case that believers need to be filled with the Spirit use this or something similar: Eph 5:18 (ESV) And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit Steve |

624 | To whom did Jesus refer with the goat. | Matt 26:3 | srbaegon | 210216 | ||
Hello Mimmie, I assume you are referring to the judgment of the nations where Christ divides the sheep and the goats (Matt 25:31-46). If that is the case, the goats are those who do not believe in Christ as evidenced by how they treated his people. Steve |

625 | What is 'the fruit of the vine'? | Matt 26:29 | srbaegon | 34666 | ||
Hank, et al. I've heard moderation defined as one glass of wine or two beers per day. How much do I consider moderation? I make it a practice to have no more than two glasses (usually one) per occasion. And the occasions average 4-5 times per year. The reason I have wine is because I like the taste. That's all. To be honest, there is no way to Biblically defend abstaining from alcohol. It cannot be done. Steve |

Hank, I can agree with this. Have a good day. Steve |

Hello Searcher, I thought *I* was going to get the heat, not you. Carry on faithfully, my friend. Steve |

628 | Jesus name baptism fulflls matt 28 | Matt 28:19 | srbaegon | 57077 | ||
Hello Estelle On the flip side there are occasions where strong words are necessary: Titus 1:13-14 (ESV) This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, [14] not devoting themselves to Jewish myths and the commands of people who turn away from the truth. And as Joe has already mentioned, 1 and 2 Corinthians have several examples of Paul using the strongest language toward believers because they needed it. Such as: 1 Cor. 4:21 (ESV) What do you wish? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love in a spirit of gentleness? Steve |

629 | Is Matt 28:19-20 for every Christian? | Matt 28:19 | srbaegon | 156925 | ||
Hello iktoose, You are correct about denominational strictures, but they are wrong because the Bible doesn't state anywhere that only the spiritual leaders perform these functions. Steve |
||||||
630 | Is Matt 28:19-20 for every Christian? | Matt 28:19 | srbaegon | 156930 | ||
Hello iktoose, I did it by leaving denominations that insisted on those strictures. Others have done it by going to the leader(s) of the local church and asking for the Scriptural basis for what they do. If they can't, ask them to stop doing it. Usually there is some reference made to the denomination charter or by-laws instead of to Scripture. Most will not listen, a scant few will. Steve |

631 | Does baptism show we're a follower? | Matt 28:19 | srbaegon | 193822 | ||
Hello canawedding, Mark 1:14-15 does not say that Jesus' ministry began after John went to prison. And Jesus' disciples most certainly baptized with water during his earthly ministry (John 3:22; 4:1-3) before John was imprisoned (John 3:23-24). Steve |

632 | Does baptism show we're a follower? | Matt 28:19 | srbaegon | 193885 | ||
Hello anne, I think we have a difference on what we mean by "earthly ministry." I mean that Jesus went around teaching, healing, and making disciples (obvious from John 2-3). Your definition appears to be his proclamation to "repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." As to water baptism, Scripture clearly states: After this Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, and he remained there with them and was baptizing. (John 3:22) If Jesus' disciples were not baptizing with physical water, then the following makes no sense: Now a discussion arose between some of John's disciples and a Jew over purification. And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you bore witness-look, he is baptizing, and all are going to him." (John 3:25-26) John's disciples saw the baptisms taking place. Steve |

633 | Does baptism show we're a follower? | Matt 28:19 | srbaegon | 193951 | ||
Hello anne, It's settled then. You have wisdom and knowledge greater than the Holy Spirit as given to the apostle John in his gospel account. Steve |
||||||
634 | did apostles disobey jesus' commission? | Matt 28:19 | srbaegon | 214473 | ||
Please do not speak in vague generalities. Specific details of specific occurrences are related in Acts. This does not mean that the apostles never baptized using three names. The best you can say is that Acts does not give any accounts of it happening. Steve |

635 | Why, Jesus tells demons to be quiet? | Mark 3:11 | srbaegon | 85187 | ||
Hello Joshuavs8, For the same reason Jesus forbade demons to tell who He was. I can think of no other reason. Steve |
||||||
636 | Why, Jesus tells demons to be quiet? | Mark 3:11 | srbaegon | 85189 | ||
Hello Joshuavs8, I don't know any prophetic reason. Maybe someone else would have an answer. Steve |
||||||
637 | If we told Jesus the whole truth... | Mark 5:33 | srbaegon | 169732 | ||
Hello kalos, I see you've received some good answers already. The Lord heals spiritually and physically on the basis of faith, not honesty. Honesty is the fruit of the Lord's working, not a prerequisite. Gal 5:24 (ESV) And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Steve |
||||||
638 | Does Mark 7:19 contradict Acts 15:29? | Mark 7:19 | srbaegon | 137505 | ||
Hello MJH, I don't see a problem. God changed dietary commands before. Gen 9:3 (ESV) Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. While you appeal to context, you miss a very important point--the Lord is speaking to three different audiences in Matt 15 and Mark 7. At first he speaks to Pharisees and scribes. Then he speaks to a wider audience. Finally, he to his disciples alone. Getting the correct dialog with the correct audience is important with this passage. And besides all this, you completely ignore Acts 10:9-16 which reinforces the change in dietary law. Steve |

639 | So the law was valid until his death? | Mark 7:19 | srbaegon | 176257 | ||
Hello Face, I would recommend going back and rereading the "eye for eye, tooth for tooth thing." They all deal with the just recompense if one harmed another (Exo 21:24; Lev 24:20; Deu 19:21). Steve |
||||||
640 | So the law was valid until his death? | Mark 7:19 | srbaegon | 176291 | ||
Hello Face, I'm correct on three counts. Deut 19 reinforces the other two passages by warning against false witness and then restates the personal responsibility penalty. Steve |
