41 | Isn't every word of God vital to us? | Rev 17:16 | glory777 | 59562 | ||
Pastor Glenn- Every word in the bible is important, but people can get so caught up in what I call "revelation theory" at the expense of what Is known. If, by chance, it were so about the kings, what would it profit us? It would give us knowledge, but would it affect our day to day living? Would it spur us into being more diligent in presenting the gospel? I don't think the Lord wants us to work for Him out of fear. I don't think He wants people to come to Him out of fear. There has been speculation that the major countries forming the European Union (?) were the kings prophesied, and, as I said, HItler as antichrist. But if we go around espousing these as facts, we would end up discrediting ourselves in the eyes of the world. Now, I know I just opened myself up to another whole can of worms, but in order to get others to know we are beleivable, we have to stay creditable. By the way, I don't think al-quida has enough clout for any 10 to be considered kings. Maybe I don't read enough of the news, but there are other countries that have more respectability and visibility and downright power that would have to be in the group, in my opinion only, of course. (I was a revelation junkie at one time. But ask me what the Father was like and I couldn't give you much of an anwer then either!) Bless you- Debbie |

42 | Where is the Loving God???? | Gen 1:26 | glory777 | 59510 | ||
inheavenseyes- Yes, God is a God of Love. He loved us so much that He will not force us to love Him and He gave us free will. It was man's choice that allowed evil to come into this world and it is our choice to believe that Jesus died for our sins. It is our choice to rest on the promises He gives us (I will never leave you nor forsake you ...my peace I give to you, etc.). We also don't know the eventual outcome of many of the tragedies, but I do know that God can take the worst situations and cause them to work for His good and His plans. Look at the Columbine shootings. I understand because of the faith of the one girl, so many were brought to salvation. In areas where persecution is highest, faith in Christ is growing by leaps and bounds. Those who are believers are tried and made stronger by bad situations - it is a time to rely more on God. I also believe hard times happen so the Lord gives us opportunities to grow in faith so we can be there to help others who are going through similar situations. Hope this helps, some. Sometimes, what it takes is not so much "Words of Wisdom" but a shoulder to lean and cry on. Love in Christ- Debbie |

43 | Can these Ten Kings be "Al-Qaeda"? | Rev 17:16 | glory777 | 59509 | ||
Are there ten leaders in Al-qaeda? I thought they represented real leaders of real countries or regions? And does it really matter? How would we know for sure? There were people who thought Hitler was the Antichrist. I think the main thing for us to focus on is that the end times could happen at any time and to get the gospel out to as many people as possible as if today is our last day and to keep looking for the return of the King with anticipation. Speculation will do nothing for the Kingdom - action w/prayer will! Peace in Christ to you- Debbie |

44 | Proverbs 30 meaning? | Proverbs | glory777 | 59508 | ||
According to the notes in the Spirit filled life Bible, Agur's identity is unknown as is the author of Prov. 31. The verses with three...four is a rhetorical means of indicating that the lists are not intended to be exhaustive of their respective subjects. In other words, just a poetic form of giving examples that could go on and on. Peace in Jesus- Debbie |

45 | Why r some people mentally ill? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 59134 | ||
Makarios gave some good examples for you. However, I do not discount the idea that demonic possesion is not a part of some of the cases today. Of special concern are those that have dabbled in the occult - which our culture in the U.S. seems to be promoting and making it seem innocent. I do think there are more than some would want to think and less than some would have you think. But the best answer on a general scale could be answered with the question "why do some people have heart disease, etc.?" God's peace. Debbie |

46 | Feel so lonely and down over this burden | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 59133 | ||
Mae64- Don't make any hasty decisions aobut church attendance right now. When under stress, you don't know ir it will be the right one. Keep attending. Look to God. Then I would find out if the pastor even knew about the situation. Call him. Talk to him. Tell him your feelings. It sounds as if you have some caring people in your church. Are there any of them you could ask to pray with you and open your heart to? If after all this, you still feel that your pastor was not there when the need was so great and that he could have been, maybe it is time to look around. But give it time! Pray! Forgive! And then look at the situation when the times have evened out and they will even out. Remember, when we are the weakest and feel we are at the end of the rope, we see find it is Jesus holding on to the other end. He will give you strength. We may not see HIs hand now, but we will later. God bless you and give you peace. Debbie |

47 | diversity of languages? | Gen 10:5 | glory777 | 58203 | ||
Just found the replies made to this question previously, but none of them satisfy. Can anyone clarify? | ||||||
48 | Difference between tithes and offerings | Acts 11:29 | glory777 | 47388 | ||
New Creature- My suggestion- Ten percent of pre-tax amount. Anything else is an offering. As you said, anything we have is from the Lord. So don't forget to tithe your talents and time also (or maybe just make them an offering, also! - Either way, you know the Lord will bless you for it.). Blessings to you- Debbie |

49 | Debbie What language did the they speak? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 47356 | ||
I believe it was a Chinese dialect. And we know Paul spoke in tongues by 1 Cor.14:18. And who is to say he didn't speak in more than one kind of tongue? I do not know what tongue it is that I have. But I do know that when I am praising God, sometimes you run out of words, "Holy" can only be repeated so many times and I believe I am also giving Him praise in this way. If I am in agony over a prayer concern, sometimes words seem so inadequate. Then I am grateful for tongues. And again, it is prayer that, because I do not understand what is being prayed, I am not letting my own "wants" come into it. But you know all this. Carry 1 Cor.13:14 on one more verse. Love you in Christ- Debbie |

50 | Anti Christ? Is America Babylon or Iraq? | Daniel | glory777 | 47107 | ||
1.According to Tim Lahaye's book "Revelation Unveiled", the antichrist will be Gentile of the Mediterranean area and part Greek (Rev. 13:1; Daniel 8:8-9). He will be predominantly Roman (Daniel 9:26)and Daniel 11:36-37 speaks of him that he regards not the "God of his fathers". So he will have a Jewish background. This is speculation and I would not stake my life on it. No one knows for sure - only God. 2. Babylon was in Iraq. I think I read somewhere that Iraq is trying to rebuild it. Don't quote me on that one. Keep looking up! Debbie |

51 | Salvation through Jesus alone? Help!!! | Rom 10:9 | glory777 | 47103 | ||
shabbyshied- I was a Catholic also and manyof my family remain so. But I know that Abraham was not a Catholic and he was named righteous because of his belief. Roman 10:9 says that if you believe and confess you shall be saved. Roman 3:22-24 Eph 2:8-9 also stress the point that is faith in Jesus alone that gives salvation. But I think my favorite is Ephesians 2:8-9. Whatever WE do is works and works does not save. Blessings- Debbie |

52 | Does the bible refer God's word as the " | 1 Pet 2:2 | glory777 | 47098 | ||
Kanomy-I don't recall scripture calling the Word of God as daily bread, but it does refer to it as milk (1 Peter 2:2) and reference again to God's Word as food in Hebrews 5:12-6:5. Also Psalm 110:103 speaks about how sweet the Words of the Lord are. So, although I don't recall anything about it being called, specifically, daily bread, the word of the Lord is something to be savored, develope a palate for and will cause us to grow and be nourished by daily consumption. God's blessings- Debbie |

53 | what does the scripture 1 Thes 4:16 mean | Phil 1:23 | glory777 | 44215 | ||
muffie- When the rapture occurs, we will not all be dead. The sisters and brothers who have died in the past will have their bodies transformed and leave the graves to join with their souls. Then those who are alive will also join the Lord (their bodies transformed in the process I believe). The Lord created us to have bodies, along with our souls, and I believe He intends for us to have bodies as a complete being, just as Jesus does now, only transformed as His is. Those who are dead and died "in Christ" are with Him, only not their bodies. At the judgement seat of God, rewards will be given. If you read throughout Paul's letters, he talks of crowns. There is the soul-winners' crown, etc. I think these are the rewards that are given and the judgements that are given to those who have been covered by the Blood. Their sins will not be seen for they are not there. Those who have not accepted Jesus will be judged according to God's standard of righteousness, and of course, without the covering of Jesus' blood will be found guilty. Debbie |

54 | why was it three days? | Job | glory777 | 43145 | ||
Not a very sound answer, biblically, but why did God choose to make the world in 6 days and not in one? He could have, you know. God is God and we are not and there are some things we will never know - until we can ask Him face to face! Blessings debbie |
||||||
55 | Dress (clothing) at church? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 43072 | ||
i have never seen a dress code in the bible (unless you were a Levitical priest!) but I believe it is a sign of respect for being in the house where the King is worshipped. Necessary - no. And if you are doing it to impress people, you are failing to come into His presence with the right attitude to start out with! Debbie |

57 | Lord of the Sabbath is he not | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 42930 | ||
But not as a command to us. Jesus came to fulfil ALL the the Law and keeping the Sabbath was the Law. However, He broke tradition by allowing His hungry disciples to eat on the Sabbath (as did David), and also by healing and teaching. We are told, in the new testament to observe the other commandments (reference made directly to each) except for the one referring to the Sabbath (on a particular day) but only not to neglect meeting with other believers. | ||||||
58 | violence in old testament ,justify | OT general | glory777 | 42706 | ||
chickoo- It is justifiable in order to keep the Jewish nation alive. Look at the world today. There is still every effort made to destroy the Jewish people as there has been throughout history. God wanted His people preserved, untainted. Throughout the bible you can see how living with other nations often caused them to intermarry, to adopt other customs and to begin worshipping false idols. There is a reason for everything God does, even if we do not see it now. Debbie |

59 | Who made Sunday a day of worship | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 42655 | ||
Elder- We are not under the O.T. law. Jesus resurrected and appeared to his followers on the first day of the week. Each Sunday thereafter, He appeared to them. Pentecost was on a Sunday. If you read in Colossians 2:16, it doesn't matter whether you worship on Saturday or Sunday and stating one or the other is the ONLY day is being legalistic and no different that the Jewish leaders who condemned Jesus for healing on the "Sabbath". By the way, although the priciples expressed in the 10 commandments are reafirmed in the New Testament, the command to set Saturday apart as a day of rest and worship is the only one not repeated there. I think having the Lord's appearance on the first day of the week would put His seal of approval on choosing that day as a likely day to worship. |

60 | How to do good work plus get to church | Heb 10:25 | glory777 | 42423 | ||
suziebiddle- Man, I can relate! Only, eliminate the therapy and put in a 40 hour plus week and I know where you are. It is hard to try to wear so many hats. But I have found, if you do not have the time to spend with God, everything else gets harder to do and you seem to have less time for all of them. The main thing is to prioritize. God has to come first. Would it be possible to take the kids with you to church? I also have my grandson (3 years old) living with me, so I know the housework definitly falls behind. And do you know what? No one worth worrying about has complained. Seems like you need a great amount of peace, my friend, and who is the Giver of peace? Set aside even 15 minutes in the morning before anyone is up (the only time I can give it) to read a little and spend time with the Peacegiver. It will pay off in all other areas of your life. Debbie P.S. I can't wait for the end of time just to focus uninterruptedly on one thing also! God bless. |
