521 | Did my dad go to heaven or hell? | Matt 18:3 | Hank | 165439 | ||
Tyrone: In my 57 years as a Christian one of the most important lessons I've learned is to separate what God has clearly revealed through His word from that which is merely human guesswork and speculation. I am far from being persuaded that you or I or anyone else has any business pronouncing eternal judgment on another human being by saying with absolute certainty whether he was saved or lost when he died. This is not in our province but in God's, and God's alone. Our time it surely seems to me is better spent in following Christ and seeking to bring the lost to His fountain than in mulling about the dead. --Hank | ||||||
522 | Did Cain marry one of his sisters? | Eph 5:25 | Hank | 165404 | ||
Bibleman: Cain was a descendent of Adam as are all other human beings including the woman Cain married. Scripture does not reveal anything about the relationship between Cain and his wife other than that she was his wife. The question has been asked many times before, but it is not an inappropriate question. It just happens to be one to which no precise, definitive answer is available from Scripture. But the existence of Cain's wife in no way presupposes a pre-Adamic race of people! --Hank | ||||||
523 | God's Holy Mountain | Ezek 28:16 | Hank | 164951 | ||
fwiask... The location of neither the mountain of God nor the garden of Eden is specified in these verses from Ezekiel. Many Bible students see in Ezekiel 28:11-19 a description of Satan and of his fall from heaven. At all events, whatever the interpretation, Ezekiel's language points to his great use of the literary device known as hyperbole. Though never simple and not always easy to read, the book of Ezekiel is enormously rich and rewarding, and its theme unsurpassed. Said Charles Lee Feinburg of the Book of Ezekiel: "From the first to the last chapter of Ezekiel one supreme thought runs throughout, that of the sovereignity and glory of the Lord God. He is sovereign in Israel and in the affairs of the nations of the world, though the loud and boisterous claims of men seem to have drowned out this truth. In His sovereign will God has purposed that we should glorify Him in life and witness to the ends of the earth." --Hank | ||||||
524 | Sabbath or Sunday | Col 2:16 | Hank | 164949 | ||
Ocelot: Thanks for registering on Study Bible Forum and welcome to it. Thanks also for your question on the Sabbath, a question that appears to be one of genuine inquiry instead of a thinly disguised ploy to promulgate Adventism. Pushing such a denominational bias as this or any other is, of course, not allowed. Kalos has offered a thoughtful response to your inquiry and so have other users; therefore, I opt not to add anything substantive to their responses, but instead to suggest that you use the Search mechanism available on this site inasmuch as your topic has been dealt with at great length. It is much like sawing sawdust to create another long thread on Adventism when a number of threads already exist. So I invite you, if you are so inclined, to use Search. Simply type in the key word Sabbath and it will take you to scores of posts that cover a span of nearly five years of Forum history. I should think that at least some of them will be helpful to you. --Hank | ||||||
525 | Father having relations w/son in Bible? | Gen 9:25 | Hank | 164788 | ||
troneew: There is an account in Scripture involving Noah and his offsping that may be the one your mother-in-law had in mind, though it is not precisely as you relate in your question. The account may be found in the ninth chapter of Genesis. --Hank | ||||||
526 | How do you just let GOD? | Mark 9:24 | Hank | 164785 | ||
Dear Needing: As Doc has pointed out, this Forum is neither designed nor equipped to be an on-line counseling service. Your appeal does strike me as both urgent and sincere, however, and I feel constrained to "counsel" you to this extent: get thee to a Bible-preaching church at once! And seek out the counsel of the pastor, the church elders, and avail yourself of the fellowship of the saints. You need Him, true enough; and you also need His church, for in it you will find the strength that you won't find as a lone sheep who has lost his way from the fold. --Hank | ||||||
527 | how old is mankind? | Gen 2:7 | Hank | 164781 | ||
john11: The Bible does not specify a date when God created man. And all that scientists and anyone else can offer are theories and guesswork, which mean that they don't have a clue. --Hank | ||||||
528 | Daniel's age during lions' den | Dan 1:1 | Hank | 164772 | ||
cerealkiller: Sorry, it is difficult to concentrate on your question because your user name, cerealkiller, detracts from everything else you say. If it is meant to be cute, it misses its mark. If it is meant to draw attention, it does, but in a very negative way. If you wish to remain on the Forum and be taken seriously, please contact StudyBibleForum@Lockman.org and negotiate a change in your user screen name. --Hank | ||||||
529 | A Thought-provoking question | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 164164 | ||
My dear rashiner, when one reads loaded and assumptive questions such as this one you've posed -- questions that attempt to use Scripture to promulgate a faulty premise -- he is given to wonder whether the questioner is using Scripture as a drunken man uses lamp posts -- for support rather than illumination. --Hank | ||||||
530 | pre-adamic/cain's wife | 1 Tim 2:15 | Hank | 163506 | ||
It matters not what "anyone ever thought" about whether Adam and Eve had children before the Fall. There is absolutely no biblical evidence of it -- and that's what matters. To read into Scripture what Scripture does not say is called eisegesis. Eisegesis leads to speculation and speculaltion leads to all sorts of error. --Hank | ||||||
531 | Obedience and ones salvation. | Matt 6:33 | Hank | 163384 | ||
Dear brother lionhart, if, as we agree that Scripture teaches, obedience is the effect of salvation, not its cause; and that therefore obedience is tantamount to good works; and if, as Scripture teaches, we are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, then obedience is not and cannot be a factor in salvation. If it were, we would have a soteriology of grace through faith plus works, a doctrine that Scripture does not support. ..... I may not have answered your question fully and clearly -- and don't presume that I can! -- but it is hoped that my response at least is going in the same general direction as your question :-) --Hank | ||||||
532 | Saved but not living for God? | Matt 6:33 | Hank | 163374 | ||
The key word in your question is "if" -- "If you have been saved..." One can never escape Jesus' truth of Matthew 7:13-27. The cause of salvation is always by grace through faith in Christ; never obedience, never good works. But the effect of salvation is always obedience, always good works. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his worksmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them" (Ephesians 2:8-10). To affirm that one has been "saved" who continues to live in sin, i.e., habitually to practice sin, goes against Bible teaching on what it means to be regenerated (born again) in Christ. It is the sort of "dead faith" that the brother of our Lord writes of in James 2:14-26. --Hank | ||||||
533 | muslim in Bible? | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 163067 | ||
There were no Muslims in Bible times, i.e., the times when the Bible was written. Mohammed, founder of Islam, was born in Mecca in 570 A.D. Please, let's confine our questions to biblical topics; the study of Islam is not one of these. --Hank | ||||||
534 | when am i to use matt 18:15-17 | Matt 18:12 | Hank | 162946 | ||
Alisa: Jesus' prescription for church discipline in Matth. 15-17 should be read in light of the parable of the lost sheep in vv. 12-14. The idea is not merely to punish the offender or to ostracize him completely but to remove him from the fellowship of the church as a detrimental influence. If you have a MacArthur Study Bible, please refer it to, from which this excerpt was taken. --Hank | ||||||

536 | Why Gen 10 is included in the Bible? | Gen 10:1 | Hank | 162281 | ||
Hana: Why is Genesis 10 in the Bible? (1) There was a space available between Genesis 9 and Genesis 11; and (2) it is difficult to think of a better place to put it. ....... In addition, 2 Timothy 3:16 provides the perfect and definitive answer to why the Bible says what it says and contains what it contains. --Hank | ||||||
537 | Evolution | John 14:6 | Hank | 162140 | ||
Your question assumes facts which are not evidential. As for me, I'm infinitely more inclined to believe and accept God's account of creation in Genesis than the weak theories of evolution promulgated by Charles Darwin, an avowed atheist. What about you? --Hank | ||||||
538 | Is the name Christian being ridiculed? | James 2:5 | Hank | 161724 | ||
Altajean: More than "making fun of" is indicated by the strong language of James 2:7. The Greek word used is "blasphemeo," meaning "to speak evil against." Not only do they (the rich) despise the poor and oppressed Christians, but direct their assaults against the Lord himself. Then as now the world hated Christ and His followers. --Hank | ||||||
539 | Were do angels go when they die. | Matt 22:30 | Hank | 161723 | ||
Ol Wise One: Are you able to cite a scriptural reference to the death of any angel? --Hank | ||||||
