21 | Is tithing for today? | Lev 27:30 | jg8ball | 427 | ||
Mal 3:8 "Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me. "But you ask, 'How do we rob you?' "In tithes and offerings." Mar 12:41-44 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything--all she had to live on." |

23 | Is inter-racial marriage biblical? | Deut 7:3 | jg8ball | 420 | ||
In Deut 7:3, God's telling them not to intermarry or mingle with them so that they are not tempted to follow their ways. It's not a racial thing. The Bible is all about Love. As long as two people love God and love each other then how could it be wrong? |

25 | What is Annals of the Kings of Israel? | 2 Kings | jg8ball | 990 | ||
You probably won't find too much on them because they were never found. As for what they are, the bible is pretty clear about that. They are listings of the Kings of Israel and their events. | ||||||

28 | Prisoners doomed to die? Who are they? | Ps 79:11 | jg8ball | 344 | ||
From the Matthew Henry Commentary: They pray that God would find out a way for the rescue of his poor prisoners, especially the condemned prisoners, v. 11. The case of their brethren who had fallen into the hands of the enemy was very sad; they were kept close prisoners, and, because they durst not be heard to bemoan themselves, they vented their griefs in deep and silent sighs. All their breathing was sighing, and so was their praying. They were appointed to die, as sheep for the slaughter, and had received the sentence of death within themselves. This deplorable case the psalmist recommends, 1. To the divine pity: "Let their sighs come up before thee, and be thou pleased to take cognizance of their moans.’’ 2. To the divine power: "According to the greatness of thy arm, which no creature can contest with, preserve thou those that are appointed to die from the death to which they are appointed.’’ Man’s extremity is God’s opportunity to appear for his people. |

29 | Isn't adultrey grounds for divorce? | Hosea | jg8ball | 455 | ||
Yes, adultry is grounds for a divorce but does not necessarily require a divorce. God was telling Hosea to marry the prostitute to reflect what was happening between Isreal and God. By telling Hosea to get back with the Prostitute, God was showing Isreal the they too could be reconciled with God. |

30 | Is the word 'twilight' confusing? | Matt 26:17 | jg8ball | 32202 | ||
Twilight is defined as the point in time when the sun drops below the horizon (sunset) which generally occurs much before midnight. I don't see any way this passage could be confused as to the day. To estimate the hour though, that would depende where in the world you were at. Twilight arrives on the east coast of the US approx 3 hours before the west coast (although it's still the same time relative to the people living on each coast) | ||||||
31 | Passover the first of Unleavened Bread? | Matt 26:17 | jg8ball | 32205 | ||
To confuse things a little more, I've been told (and someone correct me if I'm wrong) that to be considered a day back then it had to be during sunlight. If something happend in the evening (after dark) that it would have been considered to have happened the next day. In other words, the Passover ocurred after dusk and the next day started the feast but it's still only one day. | ||||||
32 | How should I interpret this passage? | Mark 10:14 | jg8ball | 38363 | ||
Doesn't the next verse answer it? Mark 10:15 "Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all." |

33 | 'Separation' and 'Experience?' | Mark 15:34 | jg8ball | 1644 | ||
The way I've heard the separation explained is the Mark 15:34 passage: And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"--which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? The term forsaken could imply different meanings but one interpretation is that God "severed the link" for moment so that Jesus would be fully able to die for our sins. As far as the "experiencing Hell" part, I think you might be refering to Eph 4:8-10 - This is why it says: "When he ascended on high, he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men." (What does "he ascended" mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions ? He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) I've heard this verse used to describe that Jesus went to "an area of Hell" that was more of a waiting place for those God favored (Moses, Abe, Josh, Noah, etc...) Jesus freed them from this area and opened the door to Heaven for them and those that believe. As far as if this would be the way I would interpret them, I can't say. I'd have to do a whole lot more studying before I could say one way or the other. There may be other verses that are used to support these ideas but these are the ones that came to mind. |

34 | 'Separation' and 'Experience?' | Mark 15:34 | jg8ball | 1649 | ||
Sorry, I thought this was a top level question and didn't scroll down to see that it was part of several postings. I also see that part of my answer included the verse that started this thread so I assume you don't believe that it refers to the separation (if there was one). I guess it's time for bed or a big cup of coffee :) Oh well, I hope the experience part of my answer helps you - it doesn't me. |

35 | Question not answered..... any help? | Mark 16:16 | jg8ball | 39966 | ||
Luke, Forget the Bible for now. You can't use the bible to prove itself. Look more to the people that have truely accepted Christ as their savior and see the changes in their lives. Look at the joy and the peace they have. This is not to say that everything will be happy in your life or that you will get whatever you desire. In the hard times - you will have the peace of knowing that you're not alone. Jesus will be there with you. In the good times, Jesus will still be there with you and you'll want to tell everyone you know what He has done for you. One (of many) examples of what God has done for me in my life is: Several years ago now, I was depressed (thinking about suicide). I had accepted Christ several years prior to that but fell away and put Him to that back of my mind. Granted, He was there, but I didn't let Him out much. One evening on my way home to my empty apartment, I was feeling depressed again and just began praying to God to send someone into my life. Tears became streaming down my face (which is not like me at all). I literally cried out for His help. I didn't tell anyone about this or what was going on in my life. Very soon afterwards, a friend from work asked me if I'd be interested in going on a blind date with his wife's friend from church. I said sure and 11 months later we were married. It's now been 8 years and we have a son. Not only did God bring someone to me, He brought Himself. My life has been getting better everyday. And even though we're currently having financial problems due to the poor economy, I trust that God will help us through it. It's hard to put into words and it is a leap of faith but for me - it was (and is) well worth it. And back to the bible. It may only seem like a another book to you, but to me it makes more and more sense everytime I read from it. The Bible is a tool to help you on your journey with Christ. |

36 | The greatest in the kingdom? | Luke 7:28 | jg8ball | 38371 | ||
I would interpret it as people that would later be in the Kingdom of God. The least would be greater than John because they would have the opportunity to receive God's grace through Jesus. Unfortunately, John (the baptist) died before the death and ressurection of Jesus. | ||||||
37 | Not my will, but Yours be done... | Luke 22:42 | jg8ball | 70658 | ||
Joe, I would interpret this passage in the following manner: Jesus was still human at the time. It's not a sin or even a question of a conflict of wills to ask the Father for something to be done if it's within His will to do so. Jesus wasn't saying He wouldn't do it. He was saying something more like "Father, this frail body I'm in can't take much more of this and if there's any other way to achieve your plan, I'm listening. But you know I'll do whatever you desire of me." (again this is my interpretation) The statement I would make is that Jesus felt the pain and anguish of the world. He probably also knew that His death wasn't going to save everyone because there would still be some that would not choose Jesus even after all He had done. Maybe he was asking for more time to convince the people to accept Him. I don't know if anyone else would agree with me, but that's what I get out of it. Also, the verse says that His sweat was like drops of blood (not actually drops of blood). I would interpret this to mean the sweat drops were large drops falling to the ground similar to someone that just finished a marathon race or eating some really spicy food. --John |

38 | Is "Paradise" the same as heaven? | Luke 23:43 | jg8ball | 334 | ||
I believe that's what Jesus was referring to. You could argue that Jesus didn't go to Heaven that day but if you believe in the Trinity then Jesus could have been talking about being in Paradise (Heaven) with God. If you don't believe in the Trinity (or don't like that explanation) then you could intrepret his statement that because he chose to believe in Jesus that day, he will be with him in Heaven. If you believe that time doesn't exist in Heaven like it does here on earth (a year is like a thousand years) then by saying today doesn't really mean much to God but it would to the dying person on the cross. | ||||||
39 | Do you believe once save, always saved. | Luke 23:43 | jg8ball | 338 | ||
No. If that were true, why would we be warned against temptations? | ||||||
40 | Upon death do we go directly to Heaven? | Luke 23:43 | jg8ball | 677 | ||
Jesus told the thief on the cross that he will be in paradise today. |
