21 | Where was Jesus For 3 days after death | Luke 23:46 | The Berean | 48497 | ||
According to Scripture, he went to the Father. His spirit did, but his body was still in the tomb. I don't know of any verses in scripture that says he went to Hell Specifically. Also in John 19:30 Jesus, said it is finished, and he bowed his head and gave up his SPIRIT. To whom? See Luke 23:46. So as far as the Hell thing goes, very unlikely. When IT was finished, the payment for sins was done. Hope this helps. MJ |

22 | Who believes the Bible? 2 Tim 3:16 | John 1:17 | The Berean | 48912 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth. Welcome to the forum. I'm not sure if anyone else understands your comment without clarification. Although I did compare scriptures you had mentioned. Are you referring to the timing of the verse? Since 2 Tim 3:16 is primarily referencing to Old Testament Scripture, given through Moses. And yes I do believe the Bible. John 1:1. Hope to hear from you soon. MJ |

24 | Can we define giving in terms of taking? | Acts 20:35 | The Berean | 46822 | ||
Yes I have given plenty...money, time, compassion etc. In some instances I did not recieve anything back immediately. However the point of our example as christians is humbleness. We ought to not expect anything back. God of course will reward you, either here on earth or in heaven. Luke 6:35 puts it plainly for us all. The point of us giving is not a condition to recieve anything. God also states in Job 41:11 Who has given to Me that I should repay him? Anything that I recieve is by God's Grace and Mercy, because I surely don't deserve it. I hope this helps. Yours in Christ. | ||||||
25 | A DEBATE ON GIVING TO GOD | Rom 14:22 | The Berean | 47757 | ||
For Friend #1 That does not deal with money period! When you read the entire chapter it deals with Judgement, not money. Many people use this as a means to promote giving money...Tithing has nothing to do with money. Money was never tithed anywhere in the Bible and I can prove it. No Christian ever tithed after the resurrection of Christ in the New Testament and I can prove that to. Tithing was a means of supporting the Levites (who served at the temple), the widows and orphans who couldn't take care of themselves. You miss the entire point of giving if you are so worry about getting a tax break. You have to ask your selves why am I practicing an Old Testament Ceremonial Law, but not the other Laws as well? Galatians 3:10 says "For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; fo it is WRITTEN, Cursed be everyone who does not abide by ALL THINGS WRITTEN in the Book of the Law, and DO them. If you are gonna practice tithing, then what about circumcision and the other laws mentioned? Remember Christ came so that we may not be under those regulations, but that our Holy Spirit filled souls can do works that come from our heart. One thing I suggest you both do is get a strong's concordance and look up the word tithes, tithe and tithing. Both of you study each chapter it relates to and then ask yourself why I am debating over how much I can give. The NT principle for giving is found in 2 Corinthians 9:7, Each one must give as HE has made up in his MIND, not RELUCTANTLY or under COMPULSION. Read also Mark 12:41-44, the Parable about the Widow's offering. There is really nothing to debate as far as giving...just give what God has purposed in your heart, don't worry about what the next person is doing. Jesus also says in Matt 22:15 that you oughta just give Caeser (Government) what is owed him and God's what is given to HIm. If you give or don't give, an ALL MIGHTY GOD can and will accomplish HIS WILL. Be Blessed Marcus |

26 | communion in 2 denominations | 1 Corinthians | The Berean | 48396 | ||
Can you be more specific? There weren't really any Christian Denominations around the time of Pentecost. Are you implying that each denomination has a tradition on how it is peformed? | ||||||
27 | What makes a christian an unbeliever? | 1 Cor 7:15 | The Berean | 61438 | ||
This text is speaking of unequally yoked marriage. God has said what he has put together let no man seperate! Even if that is an unequally yoked marriage. A true christian cannot be an unbeliever. All saints are to be judged by their christian walk and the spiritual fruit they produce. Remember we are not under the Law...we will still fall short of God's glory. We all miss mark and we have Jesus to go to for forgiveness and repentance...in hopes that we sin less in our lives. An unbeliever is just that...one who does not believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and savior. In the context above...the unbeliever is sancified by the believing spouse..they are under the protection of God's grace. Now when they leave they are no longer under God's protection. Hope this helps. MJ |

28 | How do you interpret this verse? | 1 Cor 14:2 | The Berean | 53802 | ||
The translation I would look to is the NASB. However you must stick with the concordance or use a hebrew-greek linear bible (i think that it what it is called) It gives you the translation from greek word for word...so the sentence flow will not be perfect when spoken...that should help you out. The Berean. |

29 | what is the understanding of chap 14:15 | 1 Cor 14:19 | The Berean | 49980 | ||
Simply stated, the use of the tongues in church is irrelevant if there is no interpretation or understanding. No one can benefit from tongues privately in worship. If no one in the church can understand, no one is being edified. Think about this, 5,000 words of instruction is the primary purpose of saving those who are lost, then you would have to agree that tongues would never reach an unbeliever to the Lord. Which is the reason why you would need an interpreter. So praying in an manner that is not understanding does nothing for the body. | ||||||
30 | would it be wrong if... | Galatians | The Berean | 43127 | ||
The best thing you can tell someone is to be careful. Show them the dangers, like how many out there are killed because of drunkeness. I used to drink heavily in my college days...and regret every minute of it. But now I have better control of what I drink and when and where. I don't have the strong desire to drink beer or wine like i did 10 years ago. I sometimes have wine with my dinner and it is just me and my wife. No one else knows and it is in our own home....now I would think twice about ordering a glass in public, because one we have our daughter with us and we drove to the restaurant...so thinking about your actions is key..we have to have wisdom and understanding in everything we do. | ||||||
31 | is masterbation a sin? | Galatians | The Berean | 43130 | ||
See the answer by "Parable" on 4/3/02 regarding 1 Thes 4:3....it is a very good answer and I agree with what was said. | ||||||
32 | The foundation of the church | Eph 2:20 | The Berean | 49322 | ||
Hello Read Acts chapter 15. There was discussion among the jewish christians to continue OT laws on the newly converted gentiles. During the debate/discussion, the plan for the Church today was set in motion. Acts 15 should answer your question. | ||||||

35 | will the church see the antichrist reign | 2 Thess 2:3 | The Berean | 48399 | ||
Hello Flo, the antichrist is already here. Some beleive it will be an actual person other believe it to be a 'movement'. Lets see what the Word says. Read 1 John 2:15-24, and 4:1-3. In particular verse 3 of chapter 4 where it says, "and now is in the world already". From Scripture it seems as if it may not be an actual person, because anyone who denies Christ has an anti-christ like mind or way. MJ |

36 | are we as christians only to drink water | 1 Tim 3:8 | The Berean | 47404 | ||
Whoa! The Bible says nothing about drinking anything other than water. The Word does warn about being drunk and becoming intoxicated...yet at the same time not saying do not indulge in wine period. Now for other things such a liquor (like Whiskey, vodka) which didn't exist at the time you have to use your wisdom and understanding. Why would I want to drink that stuff? Too much alcohol and ruin your kidney...hey too many hamburgers can clog your arteries! So you have to be wise in everything we do. Now if you have a problem with any sort of activity and it bothers you then don't participate in it. Also if you know any one who has a drinking problem, the last thing you would want to do is give them a drink. Jesus' first miracle was turning water into wine. One thing I suggest you do is study the bible with a Strong's Concordance. It will help you locate words and references to help you in your study. The danger many of us face today is we don't test what we here over the pulpits. Show this verse to your teacher after you have studied it (1 Timothy 5:23) It says the exact opposite of what you are asking. Now it is reference to ailments etc. Also ask them to clarify by "strong drink". See Deut 14:26 as well. I hope I haven't said too much. Yours in Christ. |

37 | Is the Promised Land the Israel of today | Hebrews | The Berean | 41827 | ||
Hebrews 11:9 Says By faith he (Abraham) lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise. I know it is a difficult question to answer amidst the problems in the middle east. But as a Christian you have to realize that all of the Old Testament promises and Laws were pointing to Jesus Christ. Matthew 5:17 says "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the PROPHETS; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill." When Israel gained statehood in 1948, prophecy had been fulfilled. Also read Ephesians 2:11-15. It talks about the differences between jews of Israel and gentiles and why Christ came to redeem us. This may help you understand a little. But overall the situation with muslims and jews and christians will always be complex and tense...which is why we ought to be ready for Christs return. | ||||||
38 | Hebrews 6:6 explained | Hebrews | The Berean | 41830 | ||
This is a challenging question. Many folks refer to it as a way to lose your salvation. But that cannot be..if so then we have a contradiction in scripture. Read Luke 15:11-32. This is about the prodigal son who returns home to his father. As an illustration to us all Jesus allows for our repentance by the remission of his blood for our sins. However some of us can 'act' saved but not really know him. So thus since salvation wasn't apparent, then Hebrews 6:6 could apply. Look at the scripture further and its writing...it says 'tasted' of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit. As an anology how many times have you tasted something knowing that it was good for you, yet you spit it out without consuming it? Verse 7 says god provides the rain yet good plants and thorns grow as well. They all received the same water..yet our reception of it was different. I suggest you read the entire book of Hebrews! It is one of the most excellent books in the bible in my opinion. | ||||||
