Please clarify your question... thank you. | ||||||
42 | does God answer every pray | 1 John 5:14 | Barach | 158417 | ||
As 1 Jo 5:14 shows, a requirement for our prayers to be heard is that they harmonize with God's will. So, a "Christian" football player may sincerely ask for God to make his team win - but is that in harmony with God's will? It certainly wouldn't harmonize with God being impartial as noted in Acts 10:34,35. | ||||||
43 | Saul to Paul | Acts 9:15 | Barach | 156928 | ||
The apostle Paul was known by both the Hebrew name "Saul" and the Roman name "Paul" from childhood; this apostle may have chosen to go by his Roman name in view of his commission to declare the good news to the Gentiles (non-Jews). Compare these two: (Acts 9:17; 2Pet 3:15) The Apostle Paul is referred to as Saul in Act 9:17 "And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, [even] Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost."... and as Paul in 2 Pet 3:15 "And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; " |

44 | Define slavery as Paul meant? | Titus 2:9 | Barach | 156579 | ||
Actually, in this case Paul was referring to actual servitude. The Roman Empire culture supported slavery and the instition of slavery even had the protection of the imperial government. As a matter of fact, Paul respected the legal right of others, including fellow Christian, to own slaves. Note the admonition from Paul: "Those who have believing masters are not to show less respect for them because they are brothers. Instead, they are to serve them even better, because those who benefit from their service are believers, and dear to them. These are the things you are to teach and urge on them." 1 Timothy 6:2 (New International Version) This fine attitude is often thought of as the Christian model for the "employee/employer" relationship. |

45 | Should my daughter get baptized again? | Luke 15:18 | Barach | 156578 | ||
I would ask the church for a scriptural precedent on this matter... it sounds like the illustration of the prodigal son is more appropo. | ||||||

"From one ancestor he has created every race of men to live over the face of the whole earth.†(Acts 17:26 Phillips) You may enjoy the account of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at John 4:1-9. |

A related scripture is: 1 Thess 5:15 "Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else." (NIV) | ||||||
48 | Can you? | Luke 6:28 | Barach | 154364 | ||
The Bible use of "curse" (not swearing of course) indicates a solemn pronouncement or a prediction of evil and - when made by God or his authorized prophet - has a prophetic value and force. For instance, Joshua’s curse made against any man who might rebuild devastated Jericho was fulfilled many centuries later. (Jos 6:26; 1Ki 16:34) However, King Balak’s requests for Balaam to curse Israel were disapproved by God, and He actually caused blessings to be pronounced instead.—Nu 22:6–24:25 |

49 | a simple prayer request | Matt 6:9 | Barach | 152563 | ||
Matthew Chapter 6 9 "This is how you are to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread; 12 and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; 13 and do not subject us to the final test, but deliver us from the evil one. 14 If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions. |

1 Corinthians 12: 28 Some people God has designated in the church to be, first, apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then, mighty deeds; then, gifts of healing, assistance, administration, and varieties of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work mighty deeds? 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 1 If I speak in human and angelic tongues 2 but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. Love never fails. 8 If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; ... |

51 | Christians or Unsaved? | Rom 2:29 | Barach | 151676 | ||
He is writing to Jewish AND non-Jewish Christians: Romans 1:16-17 (New International Version) New International Version (NIV) "(16) I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. (17) For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."" In the quoted Scripture above (Romans 2:29), Paul reminds them that they are all equally Christian, despite their national heritage. |

52 | Conversion THEN baptism...verses?? | Acts 2:38 | Barach | 151619 | ||
Reading the Bible book of Acts quickly shows that among early Christians, baptism was for those capable of 'hearing and receiving words' - with understanding of course - in order to repent and turn to a new life course of following in Jesus' footsteps. How can an infant do that? |

I'm sure someone will supply you with a number. Interestingly (and important for an understanding of the NT use of "love"), the Greek scripture had four words for love that are simply translated as "love" into English - but carry different meanings. E´ros (a word not found in the Christian Greek Scriptures), which is based on sexual attraction. Stor·ge´, a feeling based on blood relationship. Phi·li´a, warm friendship love based on mutual esteem. A·ga´pe—the love based on principle, which might be said to be synonymous with unselfishness, the love the apostle John referred to when he said: “God is love.”—1 John 4:8. Professor William Barclay in his New Testament Words says: “Agape has to do with the mind: it is not simply an emotion which rises unbidden in our hearts [as may be the case with phi·li´a]; it is a principle by which we deliberately live. Agape has supremely to do with the will. It is a conquest, a victory, and achievement. No one ever naturally loved his enemies. To love one’s enemies is a conquest of all our natural inclinations and emotions. This agape . . . is in fact the power to love the unlovable, to love people whom we do not like.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 contains a fine definition of "agape" [love]. |

54 | God gives everyone a concsience. | Rom 2:15 | Barach | 150162 | ||
14The people who are not Jews do not have the Law. When they do what the Law tells them to do, even if they do not have the Law, it shows they know what they should do. 15They show that what the Law wants them to do is written in their hearts. Their own hearts tell them if they are guilty. |

55 | Christian friends dont want stop sinning | 1 Cor 5:11 | Barach | 150160 | ||
11But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person. |
