5561 | What does one mean in Jn 10:30 and 17:22 | John 17:11 | Searcher56 | 9827 | ||
RML, I hope I understand your question. There are many passages that show the Son and Father are one, including John 17:11, where He wanted His disciples to be one. Jesus was pointing out the He and His Father were the example of being one. John 10:30 is another example, as you pointed out. Then in John 17:20-23, He prays for us, that we would be one. In verse 21, the Father is in the Son and the Son is in the Father. (Christ is in us (Col 1:27, Rom 8:9-10) In verse 23 we are to be in complete unity, so the world know (believe (vs 21) the Father sent the Son, and are loved by the Father. Our unity with each other is to show that the Father and Son are one, and that we are also one with God. The world is our neighbor, and we are to love them, second only to God. When Satan heard this prayer, he knew his mission was to cause divisons. It is too bad we are not huddled together the in hands of the Father and Christ. Searcher a.k.a. Steve Butler |

5562 | God's chosen elect--evangelism | Rom 10:14 | Searcher56 | 9740 | ||
Because 1st. There is a need for someone to be sent, so 2nd. They can preach, so 3rd. The lost will hear, so 4th. They can believe, so 5th. They can call, so 6th. They we be saved. (vv 15-13) We do not know who is the elect, God does ... we need to be God's instruments, so thet can hear the call. Steve |

5563 | Luke 23:34 When added to original MSS? | Luke 23:34 | Searcher56 | 9718 | ||
Dprout is right. I thought of Stephen as well. The Sermon on the Mount (Mat 6:14-15) and other passages show me that forgiveness is unconditional. I must initiate the action of forgiveness, it is up to them to repent and accept my forgivessness. There is a debate if God has forgiven the whole world; it is up to us to accept His forgiveness. Others say that He has only foriven those who accept His call for salvation. Steve |

5564 | Result of sin physical or spiritual? | Gen 3:22 | Searcher56 | 9716 | ||
Let me interject - Did eating of the Tree of Life grant eternal spiritual or physical life? -Did Adam or Eve have a need for eternal life? Did they violate any of the commands that God gave them before they ate of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil? ... I think the answer is no to both questions. -Were they guaranteed to live forever phyically? We know plants died, because the animals, including man did not eat meat. We do not know if animals died. I would think so, otherwise the word "die" would be meaningless. Again, I think the answer is no. I think they had to eat of the Tree of Life, to live forever phyiscally ... because if they were without sin, they would of lived forever spiritually. Plus, if the Tree of Life was to grant eternal life, that means Adam and Eve would of been condemned forever ... judged at that point. Steve |

5565 | why she said give me children or else . | Gen 30:1 | Searcher56 | 9616 | ||
Oleodealegria, there is a stigma. If a woman did not produce children she was not held in high esteem. Steve | ||||||
5566 | Why is Elijah hidden so suddenly? | 1 Kin 17:3 | Searcher56 | 9615 | ||
Nolan, I think because of what Elijah said in verse 2, where he said, "It ain't going to rain no more, no more ... until I say so." Elijah may not of known where to find the best hiding place. Steve |

5567 | sold as slave or taught to keep cattle? | Zech 13:5 | Searcher56 | 9613 | ||
Nolan, he may of been a slave who was taught to keep cattle from his youth. Steve | ||||||
5568 | Was Abiathar or Ahimelech high priest? | Mark 2:26 | Searcher56 | 9611 | ||
Nolan, Ahimelech may of been only a priest, for the word "high" is not there (1Sa 21:1). However, from Josuha 20:6 to 2 Kings 12:10, we do not see the phrase "high priest". On the latter, it seems strange that Jehoiada is only a priest and the high priest is not named. Ahimelech may of been retired as high priest and Abiathar, the high priest was not around when David came. We know that Abiathar is the son of Ahimelech (1Sa 22:20, 23:6, 30:7). However, we see Ahimelech is the son of Abiathar (2Sa 8:17, 1Ch 24:6). Either there is another copiest error, or the son is named after his grandfather. Steve |

5569 | Distinguishing accents in Jewish tribes? | Judg 12:6 | Searcher56 | 9558 | ||
Nolan, Just like we have accents in our country, as well as other nations - the Israelites had accents. As far as not being able pronounce the word, it is like my Japanese friends trying to pronounce my name. It comes out tsu-te-bi. I am not sure when it happened, I am not that old :-). Shibboleth menas flowing stream (Strong's 07641) and Sibboleth means an ear of grain or wheat (Strong's 05451). The Britannica says shibboleth is "word or saying used by adherents of a party, sect, or belief and usually regarded by others as empty of real meaning." You can see why I don't like the meanings of words in the English. |

5570 | How can I obey Matthew 5:44 | Matt 5:44 | Searcher56 | 9551 | ||
BigSlim, Loving the person is the answer. The verse you selected is one of the toughest to obey. I am not a counsellor, just a Christian sharing some thoughts. I would advise you to seek out your pastor, or another Christian who can counsel you face-to-face. Even with that, you may get a variety of answers. Therefore, pray, asking God what He wants you to do. Have you forgiven this person? (Mat 6:14-15). Have you told the Lord you have? I think you just need to forgive once. You need to let this person go, for keeping your resentment means this person is your prisoner and you are responsible for their welfare. Have you talked to this person about your anger? Have you listened to this person? (Jam 1:19, 20). A few more verses are Pro 15:1, 29:11 and Col 1:8. Seek ways to show this person love, like the Good Samaritian, who was despised by the person who he helped. Know that many are praying for you and this person. Steve |

5571 | spirit before God made us in thr womb | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 9499 | ||
crv464cad, The Mormons (LDS) and other cults teach that. It is not found in the Bible. If you want more, I'll look up my notes. Steve |

5572 | What about remarriage for a new creation | 1 Cor 7:15 | Searcher56 | 9497 | ||
Caz, JVH0212 is correct, in part. You are free to remarry. Your situation isn't exactly the situation in 1Co 7:13. It sounds like you were both unbelievers at the time of the divorce. The passage is about when an unbelieving spouse leaves a Christian one. However, you still are free to marry a Christian -You are a new creation (2Co 5:17), so the divorce is no longer part of your life -He has remarried, so there is no hope of reconcilation. His divorcing his second wife and getting back to you would be adultery. -If one would think 1Co 7:13 applies to you, he has gone ... so you are free. Always take care when you seek advice. While we may give advice from the Bible, it may not be theologically correct. I know people who twist Scripture, to tickle to ears of the listeners. Plus, there are those who will continue to ask, until they get the answer they want. I say this as a general statement, not with anyone in mind. I sensed that I need to. Also, divorce granted on the basis of adulte |

5573 | Steve, Where are you referring to? | 1 Tim 2:11 | Searcher56 | 9495 | ||
Prayon, Act 18:26 does not say that Priscilla taught Apollos. She did not teach (didasko, kataggello, katecheo ...) him. At best her husband and she who explained (ektithemi) to Apollos. It is a different word than teach. However, I think she may not of said very much, if it all. "But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately" Act 18:26b). More later ... Steve |

5574 | Ordinations by mail and the internet.... | 1 Tim 3:1 | Searcher56 | 9484 | ||
Centurian, Universal Life Church, official site is http://www.ulc.net. They say it is leagl in all 50 states. I have trouble with "will ordain anyone that asks without question of faith, for life." I would hope my faith and life were questioned - to see if I was qualified to be a pastor, according to the Bible. I cannot see many churches accept those who were only ordianed by the ULC. Taking classes over the internet is okay, but there is very little, if any, face-to-face meetings. |

5575 | WOMEN IN MINISTRY - PART 2 | 1 Tim 2:11 | Searcher56 | 9482 | ||
Prayon, I believe your "experts" are wrong. The Bible has no contradctions. As pointed out, older women can teach yonger women. Hoever, they are never to teach men. Steve | ||||||
5576 | Someone said I have a ram in the bush??? | Gen 22:13 | Searcher56 | 9481 | ||
When Abraham was about to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, the Lord provided a ram that was caught in a thicket (which is a bush). This is a foreshadow of Christ, who was the Subsitute Sacrifice for many (Mark 10:45). This is the only thing I could come up with. Steve |

5577 | Baruch the author of Jeremiah? | Jer 36:4 | Searcher56 | 9479 | ||
Nolan, not completely. Jer 1:2 looks like Baruch may of written the first two verses. From then on Baruch was the amanuensis, based on the verse you selected, and continues through to verse 18. He had to write another scroll (vv 28, 32). Baruch may of written the last chapter (52), based on 51:64. Steve |

5578 | Some more questions? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 9435 | ||
EdB, Yes and no. Yes, it shows the lack of love for Him and our neighbor. If we loved Him, we would keep His commandments (Exo 20:6, Jhn 14:15, 1Jn 5:3). One of His commandments was to GO. We are also supposed to pray (Mat 9:37-38). As one who goes, I do need prayer support. There is a battle for the souls of men. I say no, because the church of Ephesus did many things, yet forgot their first love (Rev 2:2-4). There are people who go and do ... but do not spend time with Him. We need to do both. Steve |

5579 | Tree of Life can we say? | Gen 3:22 | Searcher56 | 9432 | ||
EdB, I saw your post before I went on my biweekly date with my 11-year-old daughter. I think the death of Gen 2:17 was spiritual death, because neither Adam or Eve died phyiscally the day they ate of the tree. We know that phyiscal death existed for the plants, for that is what man and animals ate (1:29-30). Did animals die before the fall? I do not know; the ecological system was different. Would Adam and Eve lived forever - if they never made a choice between the two trees? These are great questions to ask your pastors and answer yourselves. In light of Gen 3:22, I believe that they still had to of eaten its fruit in order to live forever. That is why God had to kick them out of the Garden. I think this could of been phyiscal life, for God would of granted them spiritual life at anytime. If it was spiritual life, then they would be excluded from heaven from that point on. I am waiting to hear from you, as well as see what the "experts" say. Steve |

5580 | Heart, Mind, Soul and Strength | Mark 12:30 | Searcher56 | 9399 | ||
Vijay Joseph, It says to love God in this verse, not serve or worship Him. Jesus is not saying to love Him, but, God (the Father). He is quoting Deu. 6:4-5. The difference between the four is well answered. Love Gos with your all. We are to serve and worship God, too (Mat 4:10). These are two different words, tho many think when we serve Him, we are worshipping. We are also suppose to love our neighbor - the despised Samaritians, as seen in the verses that follow. Steve |
