921 | I am that I am | Ex 3:14 | Hank | 132583 | ||
granny -- If it is the reference you want, please see Exodus 3:14, which is the initial self-identification of God. See also John 8:58 and Revelation 1:18. --Hank | ||||||
922 | promise of family to thousand generation | John 3:16 | Hank | 131414 | ||
mmam51: There is no such Scripture to my knowledge. I believe God's promise -- and terms -- of salvation are accurately stated in, for example, John 3:16, Acts 4:12, and Acts 16:31. --Hank | ||||||
923 | Romans 6:4 sanctification or salvation? | Rom 6:4 | Hank | 131404 | ||
Huron: The most common exegesis of this Romans 6:4 (see also 6:3) passage is that Paul was using baptism in a metaphorical sense, much the same as in the phrase 'immersed in his work'; therefore, water baptism is not being referred to. See also 1 Cor. 6:17; Gal. 3:27; 1 Peter 3:21; 1 John 1:3; 1 Cor. 10:2. Baptismal regeneration/justification is not Paul's thesis here at all. --Hank | ||||||
924 | lapping water vs kneeling in Judges 7 | Judg 7:7 | Hank | 131401 | ||
mamabull: Some feel that the soldiers who remained on their feet and lapped the water from their hands instead of kneeling showed preparedness for any emergency. But since the Bible gives no reason for this distinction, the most satisfactory conclusion is that it was merely a way to divide the crowd. Their ability as soldiers had no bearing on the victory anyway. Read on in this narrative and you will see that the enemy soldiers fled without engaging Gideon's men in battle at all. --Hank | ||||||
925 | animals clean and unclean ,big Noak ark | Gen 7:2 | Hank | 131398 | ||
nae-nae04: The answer to your first question may be found in Genesis 7:2 and to your second in Genesis 6:15. --Hank | ||||||
926 | Were there people on earth other than Ad | Gen 2:7 | Hank | 131266 | ||
JohnatTide: Genesis 2:7: "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Therefore, any argument that there was a pre-Adamic race, or that God created any other human beings besides Adam and Eve, or that there is a time gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 is an argument from silence, not from Scripture. Scripture reveals nothing more than it reveals. --Hank | ||||||
927 | How much authority do leaders have? | Ruth 3:5 | Hank | 131232 | ||
Hello, Reighnskye. Jesus' discourse with the Pharisees and Herodians [See Matthew 22:15-21] ends with this famous verse of Scripture: "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." ..... In Acts 5 when the high priest asked the apostles, "Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name?" [v. 28], Peter and the other apostles answered, "We ought to obey God rather than men." [v. 29]. See also Acts 4:19. These passages and others in Scripture provide a clue -- actually more than a clue, a key -- to understanding the proper role of the Christian in his relationship to his Lord and governmental (and other human) authority -- to God and Caesar. The biblical principle is this: That Christians should obey governmental authority [Romans 13:1-7; 1 Peter 2:13-17], but when civil decrees are clearly and directly contrary to God's word, God must be obeyed. [See also Daniel 6 and Exodus 1:15-17]. --Hank | ||||||
928 | understanding on Hebrew 6:4-6 | Heb 6:4 | Hank | 131231 | ||
Ann: An excellent expository sermon on Hebrews 6:4-6 by C. H. Spurgeon called "Final Perseverance" can be found by going to http://www.spurgeon.org/sermons/0075.htm --Hank | ||||||
929 | which of the communion of the saints? | Deut 17:15 | Hank | 130976 | ||
Folawise: It's good to hear that you plan to examine "The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict" by Josh McDowell. Let us know whether you found it helpful. I won't comment on the rest of your question/note, but I do wish you well. --Hank | ||||||
930 | Was NT Written in Greek or Hebrew? 1 | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 130770 | ||
Kalos, how disappointing that all these august Forum scholars haven't hit upon the obvious solution. The only divinely inspired New Testament in existence today was written in neither Hebrew nor Greek. As everyone knows (or jolly well ought to know by now!), it was written in Elizabethan English in 1611. Some call it the Authorized or King James Version, but those of us who are priviliged to know all things fully recognize it to be the real McCoy, the one and only, the incomparable DIT, the DIVINELY INSPIRED TRANSLATION. QED. Case closed. With this truth so plainly evident, we need no longer tax our little heads with insignificant details of what happened a couple of thousand years ago. That was a long time before DIT came along and settled the matter once and for all. Repeat: The REAL New Testament, the DIT, was written in English -- English mind you. Not Greek. Not Hebrew. Not Spanish, French, German or NewsSpeak. English, I tell you; and the date of the DIT was 16ll A.D. --Hank | ||||||
931 | How severe are God's punishments? | Obad 1:5 | Hank | 130507 | ||
John 3:16 answers your question about the severity of God's judgment, but it also tells of the depth of His love. --Hank | ||||||
932 | Does God plunge mortals into ignorance? | Obad 1:8 | Hank | 130505 | ||
Man plunged himself into spiritual darkness by disobeying God. Christ came as the light to restore sinful man, as many as believe on His name, to a right relationship with God. References: Genesis 1-3 and the four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. --Hank | ||||||
933 | Too many questions? | Eph 4:18 | Hank | 130503 | ||
The problem lies not so much in asking questions (of whatever stripe) but in one's refusal (or inability) to accept God's answers. ..... Some say there are no dumb questions. They need to hang around the Forum for a while :-) --Hank | ||||||
934 | Is it wrong to go to Atlantic City? | Rom 14:14 | Hank | 130487 | ||
It isn't wrong to go to Atlantic City unless, of course, you'd meant to go to Hoboken. --Hank | ||||||
935 | Is hell eternal? Or is it temporary? | Matt 25:46 | Hank | 130445 | ||
Hell is described in Scripture as eternal punishment (Matt. 25:46). As a place of torment (Luke 16:23). As a place of eternal fire (Matt. 25:41). A lake of fire and brimstone whose occupants will be tormented day and night forever and ever (Rev. 20:10). ..... It's really scary to read and think about hell. But read we should and think we must, and thank God for the Lord Jesus who paid the price so that they who believe in Him will not perish [in hell] but have eternal life. Read John 3:16 and rejoice and thank God! --Hank | ||||||
936 | Difference between christian/ disciple | Acts 11:26 | Hank | 130424 | ||
tduplechain: --- Are you proposing that a regenerate believer in Christ should not be called a Christian? Look up the definition of Christian in a dictionary and tell us how a disciple of Christ is not Christian. Do you believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? If you do, you're a trinitarian, but you want find that word in the Bible. Do you believe that Jesus died on the cross for man's sin? Then you believe in the substitutionary death of Christ, but you won't find the term "substitutionary death" mentioned in the Bible either. ..... It seems you're placing considerable, and exclusive, emphasis on the word "disciple." After all, Karl Marx and Adolph Hitler had their disciples, so to call oneself merely a disciple doesn't say much. A disciple of what or whom? Frankly, the suggestion is an odd and groundless one that disciples of Christ should avoid calling themselves Christians. Surely you can come up with another question or comment that has more substance than this one. It's rather nit-picky, don't you think? Your argument falls into the category of quotidian posts to which this Forum falls prey, posts that are too inane and pointless to merit extended space. --Hank | ||||||
937 | Did i say you should call me GOD?' | Deut 17:15 | Hank | 130148 | ||
folawise: Do you suppose it would help if you selected a couple or so of your questions to which you feel the Bible has not yielded you reasonable answers and pose them to the Forum? There are a number of seasoned and well-grounded Christian men and women on this Forum who may be able to help you. But a caveat needs to be inserted here. They will give you what the word of God, the Bible, says; but they will not give you what the Koran says. This is a study Bible Forum and not a comparative course in world religions. ...... Additionally, I'd like to echo and reemphasize BradK's recommendation of Josh McDowell's "The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict." This is a fine book and, judging from your posts, it appears to me that you well may be one of the persons for whom this book was expressly written. ....... Finally, it's rather puzzling that you, who "gave my life to Christ in high school" and "love Jesus Christ" would be toying around with Islam, a pagan religion. Christianity and Islam are not mutually compatible: you cannot be a Muslim Christian and more than you can be Christian Muslim. (see Acts 4:12 and John 14:6). If you are a Christian who has doubts, seek counsel through much prayer, diligent study of Scripture, and the communion of Christian saints. You will not find neither truth nor salvation in paganism. --Hank | ||||||

939 | SHOULD WOMAN BE PRECHING | Bible general Archive 2 | Hank | 130103 | ||
What verse? Do, please, try to be more specific when you ask questions. The Forum has some sharp people, but none claim to read minds :-) --Hank | ||||||
940 | One universal religion | Acts 4:12 | Hank | 129958 | ||
In his denunciation of a universal religion, your pastor probably had one-world government in mind, of which a state-imposed universal religion would be a possible adjunct. Such an imposition could, of course, mean anything, depending upon how a world government defined religion. Religion can mean anything from atheism to orthodox Christianity, from Islam to Jehovah's Witnesses. A state-imposed "universal religion" is a far cry from what Jesus envisaged when He issued the "Great Commission" of Matthew 28:19,20. --Hank | ||||||
