222 | Able to Bear mean in 1 Cor 10:13 | 1 Cor 10:13 | humbledbyhisgrace | 193053 | ||
Greetings rsfehrman, Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! 1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Take a look at how the NASB translation is worded 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NASB) No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. We can say it means to endure the temptation or in other words, not give into the temptation and sin. Does this help? Steve |

223 | long hair | 1 Cor 11:7 | humbledbyhisgrace | 208663 | ||
Roots, Note, what Paul spoke of being like him was not a commandment. 1 Corinthians 7:6-9 (NASB) 7:6 But this I say by way of concession, not of command. 7:7 Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that. 7:8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I. 7:9 But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion. But it could be that statements such as this "OH! but wait a minute, maybe God should check with people like you first to get permission for me to be blessed in that manner." would be considered contentious and would seem to me 1 Corinthians 11:17 would be applicable! 1 Corinthians 11:17 (NASB) But in giving this instruction, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

225 | What are gifts of the Holy spirit | 1 Cor 12:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 191395 | ||
Greetings Lynton! I want to also encourage you to think about a few things as you look into the gifts of the Spirit. Note that it is God who gives them to man! Note the purpose of the gifts! Note the importance of God's people serving Him and His church with the gift they have been given! Also, you will more then likely find that this is one area that most Christians seem to struggle with in regards to understanding and knowing the gift they have been given. I would argue the reason is because of their relationship with God. It is absolutely essential that you have a close relationship with God in order to better understand and know Him. I have found that many seem to seek answers from God through prayer only. As if He will show them the future (i.e. His will for their life). Don't get me wrong, prayer is an essential part of our relationship with God and in seeking His will. But what seems apparent to me is that many fail to see that much of His will has already been revealed to us through His word. My question to many is why do they think God is going to reveal the future to them when they are not even obedient and doing that which He has already revealed to them through His word? It seems to be this way with the local churches also. Just my opinion and of course this does not apply to all Christians and churches. I by no means know them all but from what I have seen and heard, it seems to apply to many! God bless, Steve |

226 | unsaved in ministry | 1 Cor 12:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 227865 | ||
Greetings greatlady! Read All of 1 Corinthians 12 Who gives the spiritual gifts? Who does He give them to? What is the purpose of the gifts? Other things to consider. Of what purpose does an unsaved person serving in any capacity of the body serve (1 Corinthians 12:3)? Another way we may want to ask this and ponder is, what affect on the body does it have when we are so careless to have the unsaved serving the body? Steve |

Greetings yosevuk! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! I'm not aware of anything in scripture referred to as the "twenty-second prayer". My guess is, the song was referring to a prayer of salvation. In what way I'm not sure, I don't know the song :-) Steve |

232 | What happens when we die? | 2 Cor 5:8 | humbledbyhisgrace | 197633 | ||
Greetings KeKe! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! The information below is taken from my notes. Unfortunately, I failed to note (in my notes) where I got this from so I can't point you to the original author. Sorry about that! Also, you may want to do a search for "soul sleep" on this site. It has been discussed before and you may find some good discussion to help you with this. "The Bible uses different language in different places to describe what happens to us when we die. Often it refers to death as 'sleep' (e.g. Psalms 13:3; John 11:11-14; Acts 13:36; 1 Corinthians 11:30; 15:6,18,20,51; Ephesians 5:14; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-15; 5:10) -- this is the regular way Kings and Chronicles refer to the deaths of kings. In all these cases, 'sleep' is simply a euphemism for 'death.' It is not to be taken literally, as if it indicated 'soul sleep.' "John 11:11-14 provides a good example of 'sleep' as 'death' rather than as 'soul sleep.' When the disciples misunderstood Jesus' reference to Lazarus' death as 'sleep,' he corrected them not by saying that Lazarus soul was asleep, but rather by stating that Lazarus was dead. "One of the more confusing passages in this regard is 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, where Paul speaks of the dead in Christ as being asleep, and as rising only when Christ returns. This may at first give the impression that they are rising from sleep when Christ returns, and that prior to that they are not with him. However, 'rise' (from the Greek anistemi) is not the normal word the Bible uses to describe those who cease to sleep -- 'awake' is. 'Rise' generally refers to the simple act of standing up, but it also refers frequently to the general resurrection when our bodies will rise from the grave (Mark 9:9; 9:10; 12:25; Luke 16:31; 24:46; John 20:9; Acts 10:41; 13:43; 17:3,31). In these cases, the point is not that our souls wake up or rise, but that our bodies do. This being the background of the language of 'rising' (anistemi) in the church, the Thessalonian church would have understood 'rise' (anistemi) in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 to refer to the bodily resurrection, not to awaking from soul sleep. "There is no explicit teaching in Scripture that outlines any doctrine of 'soul sleep,' but it is an inference drawn from the metaphor/euphemism of death as 'sleep.' The Bible does explicitly teach, however, that our souls are immediately present with the Lord upon our deaths. For example, Jesus told the thief on the cross that the thief would be with him that day in paradise (Luke 23:43). Further, Paul explicitly taught that to be absent from the body was to be present with the Lord -- he mentioned no third alternative such as soul sleep (2 Corinthians 5:6-9). Moreover, we have actual examples of people who died but did not experience soul sleep: Moses and Elijah (Matthew 17:3; Mark 9:4; Luke 9:30-31); perhaps Samuel (1 Samuel 28:3-20); and of course Jesus himself (e.g. Luke 23:43). Some would add the debatable example of Abraham, Lazarus and the rich man in the parable of Luke 16:19-31. "When we die, it is fair to speak of us 'sleeping' insofar as we are no longer walking the earth, and insofar as our bodies are not active. In our sleep of death, however, we are conscious and active in the presence of Christ." --Ra McLaughlin Other thoughts: Rev. 6:9-11 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: [10] And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? [11] And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. God bless, Steve |

237 | in eph, chapter 1 what are the blessing | Eph 1:3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 213732 | ||
robert11567, We seem to have many who stop by this forum and ask what appears to be homework questions. Your questions would lead me to believe this is in fact one of those homework questions. Not only do you ask the question but you point to the specific verses the answer is found in. This then appears you did not even bother reading the verses to see what the answer is. If you read the verses of scripture you referenced in your questions that answer is clearly there. I want to encourage you to read God's word yourself first and see if you can find the answer. You will be blessed by God Himself if you spend time reading His word. God speaks to us through His word so if you do not take the time to read it, guess who you are not listening to and/or not hearing from? Steve |

238 | What is God's unconditional love? | Eph 1:3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 227566 | ||
Greetings Dickinson! Ephesians 1:3-8 Many times we think of ourselves as sinners (which we are) and undeserving (which is true) yet He loves us anyway (which is also true). If we only think of it from the point of view He "loves us anyway" I fear we miss the depth of it. If we would also consider His "unconditional love" from where it starts so to speak it seems to me to fully explain it. Or perhaps I should say it gives me a much better understanding of it then I once had. Consider His sovereignty! I think we can safely say that His unconditional love is of His own sovereign will to do so. In that we have security that it is His choice and not based on anything we say or do. His choice not influenced by mankind or anything else! On His own and to His glory He has chosen this. It is to be this way because God Himself has made it so! It should give us confidence that this is not from the heart of man who's heart can change but rather from God's who never changes! Steve |

239 | Why do children lie? | Eph 2:3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 215522 | ||
Greetings Leslie! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! The scriptures teach us that by nature we are children of wrath. Ephesians 2:1-3 (NASB) 2:1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2:2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 2:3 Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. and that all of us sin Romans 3:23 (NASB) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God A child is no different then an adult regarding their sinful nature. A child will sin because it is their nature to sin. None of us grow up and become sinners. We grow up sinning because it is in our nature to do so. Just like it is with all of us, the child has no hope other then Jesus Christ. For only through Him will anyone be saved (John 3:16, Romans 6:23, John 14:6, Acts 4:12). Steve |
