61 | Why is it a Religious Holiday? | Bible general Archive 3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 186456 | ||
Greetings DLorddaughter! Knowing what the scriptures teach us, my question is why is everyday not a day we set aside to worship and praise God? Just a sample of what I'm talking about! Psalms 103:1-22 (NASB95) 103:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name. 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits; 103:3 Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases; 103:4 Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; 103:5 Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle. 103:6 The LORD performs righteous deeds And judgments for all who are oppressed. 103:7 He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel. 103:8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness. 103:9 He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. 103:10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 103:11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. 103:13 Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. 103:14 For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust. 103:15 As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. 103:16 When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its place acknowledges it no longer. 103:17 But the lovingkindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children's children, 103:18 To those who keep His covenant And remember His precepts to do them. 103:19 The LORD has established His throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all. 103:20 Bless the LORD, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word, Obeying the voice of His word! 103:21 Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, You who serve Him, doing His will. 103:22 Bless the LORD, all you works of His, In all places of His dominion; Bless the LORD, O my soul!

Greetings! There is no requirement to study them at all. Why ask the question? If you think about it, both views require that you study the scripture to discern the truth. On the other hand, your question doesn't. So what is your motivation? Steve |

63 | reference to sexual nature sinful? | Bible general Archive 3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 186694 | ||
Greetings! We can't say ANY reference because scripture itself reference this! Read Song of Solomon, 1 Corinthians 7:3, Genesis 1:28,Genesis 2:24, etc... Perhaps I'm not understanding your question??? Steve |

64 | reference to sexual nature | Bible general Archive 3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 186734 | ||
Greetings! A couple of things to consider! What would give you reason to even consider if this was right or wrong? Surely the enemy would have no problem with the matter! Reasoning something away by justifying it as it's really not so bad implies compromise in my opinion. Another good reason to consider what it is that would even try and convince you this would be okay. Let me know if you find any humor on the matter in scripture. It’s my opinion that if your approach lacks integrity and honor to God it matters not how successful the venture is by worldly standards! By Faith, Steve |

65 | once saved always saved | Bible general Archive 3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 188190 | ||
Are you an atheist? Is your intent to disrupt this forum? 1 Corinthians 2:11-14 (NASB) 2:11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, 2:13 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. Romans 3:23 (NASB) 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 6:23 (NASB) 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 5:8 (NASB) But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 10:13 (NASB) for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." Romans 10:9 (NASB) that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; Romans 5:1 (NASB) Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Romans 8:1 (NASB) Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:38-39 (NASB) 8:38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ephesians 2:8-9 (NASB) 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 2:9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. Steve |

70 | Why is Enoch not at the Trasnfiguration? | Bible general Archive 3 | humbledbyhisgrace | 192837 | ||
J-man, I don't know that the scriptures speak to why Moses and Elijah were there but Enoch was not. Apparently their ascension had no bearing on this. I've read the speculation that perhaps this represented the three groups of people that will be present when Christ institutes His kingdom on earth. "The disciples represent individuals who will be present in physical bodies. Moses represents saved individuals who have died or will die. Elijah represents saved individuals who will not experience death, but will be caught up to heaven alive"—Bible Knowledge Commentary Naturally, it should be noted this is nothing more then speculation on their part. There is no scriptural evidence that I'm aware of that gives any validity to this. Steve |

Here is a link to the page http://www.scripture4all.org/articles/Index.htm You may want to contact them and ask. They have a contact us page also. Possibly they would respond to your question of why.

72 | Where should I turn?????? | Bible general Archive 2 | humbledbyhisgrace | 154431 | ||
Hello daluvapassion15, you say your confused and based on your post you have many questions. lionheart is right when he said this is a good thing because you are looking. You are seeking the truth and this is a good thing even if it seems confusing right now. God knows your heart and if you want the truth, turn to Him, trust in Him and He will reveal His truth to you. The Bible tells us in Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Your seeking answers so look to God for the answers. Mankind and the world does not have the answers. It's not too late and it does not matter what you have done in the past or how confused you are right now. God can and He will forgive you. This is what God wants to do. He wants you to trust in Him and to have a personal relationship with you. That's right, a one on one relationship with you. To address your question "What is heven?" The simplest why I can think of to put this is that heaven is the dwelling place of God. Where ever and what ever it is, will be more awesome and glorious then anything we could possibly imagine. To address your questions "What if when ppl die they just die? What about reincarnation....." Hebrews 9:27 says "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." So, God's word tells us that we will die one time and after that we will face judgment. One of two things will happen. If you are saved and forgiven of your sins you will go to heaven and spend eternity with God. If not, you will be condemned and spend eternity in hell. Notice that regardless of which way you go, both are for eternity. There is no reincarnation. No second chance at coming back and trying again. To address your question "If there is 1 god than there should b 1 religion right?" Many people confuse God and religion. Religion is not God, it is more like a practice of someone or a group of people's beliefs in something. Many religions are about God. And as your mother told you, people do have a different way of looking at God. Therefore, we have many different religions. This may surprise you, but even people of the same religion have different beliefs on certain things. Why is that? Because, mankind does not have the capability to understand all things. Only God does. And in our inabilities to understand some things, we interpret them differently because we don't have all the knowledge required to get everything right. What is important is your salvation. There are many decisions you will have to make in life. Some easy, some hard. But none will be as important as your salvation. You can make the most important decision of your life and the best part about it is guess who will be there with you when you make it. God! The Bible teaches us in Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." It's just that easy. It doesn't matter what you have done in the past. You don't have to have all the answers up front. God will give you the answers that He wants you to have when you are ready for them. I hope this helps answer some of your questions. One more thing I want to leave you with. You are not alone in the fact you are confused about things. Many people are confused. And just so you know, even those of us that are saved are still confused on some things. I'm 43 years old and I don't know everything and even I get confused on some things. There is nothing wrong with that if we are able to admit it and continue to seek God's truth. God doesn't expect us to know everything and He knows we will be confused and wrong sometimes. No one has all the answers. Only God does and what God wanted man to know He has given us through His creation and His word (the Bible). My prayers are with you and my God bless you! |

73 | Which Church of JESUS CHRIST js HIS ? | Bible general Archive 2 | humbledbyhisgrace | 155007 | ||
If you are looking for a denomination in the words of Jesus to Peter you will not find it. The Church that Jesus speaks of does not carry with it a denominational title as your question seems to insinuate ("So, WHICH CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST"). The Church that Jesus speaks of is His Church which is made up of all those He has called and that have received their salvation and He is at the head of it. His words are "My Church" not "CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST". Denominational titles have nothing to do with His Church. These are nothing more then labels that man has given to separate themselves from others because of their beliefs and interpretation of the scriptures. (That's just my opinion. Take it for what it's worth. Also, I can't speak for all men so this is a generalization of how it appears to me). The confusion is not in Christ Church, it is in man and His unwillingness to completely give over himself to the Father and His ways. (Again, that's just my opinion). I believe you are correct that the Father does not want us to be confused and I personally am assured that He has not confused us. But we, mankind confuse ourselves because we are unable to let go of ourselves to the point we can completely discern His truth in all matters of scripture and God. (my opinion again and this is not to say all men fit into this category. God has given much to some). I also beg to differ with your statement, "We are saved by GRACE only after ALL we can do !" You are right salvation is a gracious thing, but it's not after anything we have done or can do. Keep searching the scriptures on this one. Your statement sounds more like a denominational doctrine then the truth of scripture. If your seeking truth, look to God's word. John 17:17-19 KJV "17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth .18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth". I personally think its a waist of time looking to the denominations for truth. It's in Christ alone that we should stand. It's in Christ alone that we have any hope at all of finding the truth. This is not to say that the doctrines of the individual denominations are not important, but they must align with the scriptures to be counted as truth. Stand on the word of God because we know it to be the truth, stand on denominational doctrine and you risk missing the truth. What we should all do as Christians is come together as one and ask the Father, Father, some believe this and some believe that, as one, Father we ask for your wisdom in all things and pray that you guide us in all things. Amen! God's word is the truth so stay with that first and foremost. Then anything else including denominational doctrines, or post from this forum, or words from a brother or sister in Christ should be verified against God's word and prayer. James 1:5 KJV "5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him". I pray my opinion on denominational doctrine does not offend anyone. My prayer is only that those who read this post understand we must look for the truth and that we never allow our own inadequacies to stand in the way of God's truth and our hearts. God bless and may we all be blessed with His truth! |

74 | BIBLE (mens ) FAULTS | Bible general Archive 2 | humbledbyhisgrace | 155285 | ||
Obi you ask the question "So, HOW MANY TIMES HAS THE BIBLE BEEN RE-TRANSLATED AND CHANGED ???" I'm assuming you want to know this in order to do research. Here are some answers to that question to get started with. A major change started in 1823 and was completed and published by 1830. By the grace of God, this change was recognized for what it was and completely rejected by true Christians. The most recent changes I think of that I am aware of would be found in the following post. ID# 155256, ID# 155253, ID# 155262, ID# 155175, ID# 155123, ID# 155031, ID# 155035, and ID# 154985. Believe it or not, all where this year and all will be rejected by true Christians. Hope this helps! |

77 | Existance of Jesus in the OT? | OT general | humbledbyhisgrace | 186445 | ||
Greetings mouzehug! I think it should be noted we take the word of God serious here. It just may be possible you are not even reading from the word of God because you don't find "Rack, Shack, and Benny" anywhere in the scriptures. Also, it wouldn't be much of a challenge for you if someone answered the question for you now would it? Perhaps its the disrespect you have for God's word that has made this such a challenge for you. How about a hint instead.The entire Old Testament points to Jesus, try reading it! Steve |

78 | cast your seed into the belly of a whor | OT general | humbledbyhisgrace | 208991 | ||
Greetings halweliver, Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! I don't think there is a passage such as you are seeking. I think that comes from a teaching based on scripture in Genesis chapter 38. See below. Read all of Chapter 38 and see below also Easton’s Bible Dictionary info for the Levirate Law that will be helpful in understanding the passage. Genesis 38:7-10 (NASB) 7 But Er, Judah's firstborn, was evil in the sight of the LORD, so the LORD took his life. 8 Then Judah said to Onan, "Go in to your brother's wife, and perform your duty as a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother." 9 Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother's wife, he wasted his seed on the ground in order not to give offspring to his brother. 10 But what he did was displeasing in the sight of the LORD; so He took his life also. LEVIRATE LAW — from Latin levir, “a husband’s brother,” the name of an ancient custom ordained by Moses, by which, when an Israelite died without issue, his surviving brother was required to marry the widow, so as to continue his brother’s family through the son that might be born of that marriage (Gen. 38:8; Deut. 25:5–10; comp. Ruth 3; 4:10). Its object was “to raise up seed to the departed brother.” – Easton’s Bible Dictionary Steve |

79 | how do we benefit from serving in church | NT general Archive 1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 187229 | ||
Greetings sarahcitychurch! Take a look at Ephesians 4, 1 Corinthians 12, and Romans 12. I would think there is much that could be said in regards to your question. The suggested passages above should give you a good idea of the importance of finding your place in the body of Christ. First of all, you have been blessed beyond measure if you have even been placed in the Church by God (1 Corinthians 12:18). It must be said that not only do you benefit, but so to does the body of Christ! Thoughts that come to mind before I run off to work - An opportunity to reach out to the community and the world to share the Lord Jesus Christ with others! An opportunity to serve the King! An opportunity to serve your Brothers and Sisters in Christ! An opportunity to experience abundant life! An opportunity for obedience! An opportunity to grow even closer to the Lord God! An opportunity to study His word and share it with others! etc.., etc..., etc... The benefits are endless for it is God Himself that has placed you there! |

80 | What does "able to bear" mean? | NT general Archive 1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 193048 | ||
Greetings rsfehrman, Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! Could you possibly be referring to 1 Corinthians 10:13 ? 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. If this is the passage of scripture you are referring to when trying to understand what is meant by "able to bear" then perhaps the NASB translation will help. We can say it means to endure the temptation or in other words, not give into the temptation and sin. Does this help? Steve |
