41 | Why is fruit singular and not plural? | Galatians | popdzl | 43098 | ||
It is singular because all those attributes are aspects of the one fruit. Just as a peach is juicy, sweet, fragrant, etc. so the fruit of the Spirit bestows joy, peace, longsuffering, etc. | ||||||
42 | What do i say to someone about drinking | Galatians | popdzl | 43103 | ||
People of biblical times drank wine mainly due to the lack of good drinking water. It is okay to drink as long as you are not trying to get drunk or "drown your sorrows away". However, if one has a drinking problem, one should not drink and others around them should not drink as this would provide a temptation. Ultimately, when God does not want one to drink, the Spirit will move to convict them, and thus, they will work out their own salvation. | ||||||
43 | would it be wrong if... | Galatians | popdzl | 43721 | ||
If that were the case, (not being drunk and not having a drinking problem) then God may not have a problem. What you must remember is that God has a personal relationship with everyone; if He is displeased with our actions, He will let us know. The best recourse you can take in regards to your friend is present them with all of God's word as it relates to drinking and to doing His will. Amongst these two topics, I believe your friend (and you for that matter) will be able to determine what is acceptable for them; even if it is drinking, you must be able to accept it as it is based in His word. | ||||||

Dan, Congratulations on your chose for life. You are developing a good habit by reading the Word. I encourage you to stay diligent in your studies. As you study, there will be passages of scripture that you may not understand or believe at all. But as you begin TO DO the things which you have read, e.g. pray without ceasing, meditate on the Word, lean not to your own understanding, etc., God will reveal things to you in answer to your questions or disbelief. I warn you, be not wary of the passages which you do not understand, but of the ones which you do; Revelations will continue for you as you are willing to accept them, but as you are holding on to that which you understand, you will not be able to receive anything more which God has for you. God does everything decent and in order; therefore He will not reveal B until you understand A. But if you accept A as the ultimate truth, you will never get to Z. In response to your question, the couple had all the opportunity to repent from the time they conceived of the idea to hold back until the time in which they actually held back. Their immediate death shows that the presence of God was at that place of assembly, therefore, sin could not be present. Read the following scripture and meditate on them: Mt 12:22-37, Ja 1:13-18, and Rev 3:14-19. I admonish you to read Psalms and Proverbs (read at least one of each daily); in them you will find a lot of the wisdom, trust, love, and strength of God which you will need in your spiritual warfare. Continue to seek, for "blessed are they which do hunger and thirt after righteousness: for they will be filled." May God bless you and grant you peace in Jesus' name. |

47 | How does the Bible explain Rahab's lie? | James 4:17 | popdzl | 89159 | ||
The only place in the Bible where a lie is condoned is in 1Kings 22:22-23. The lie Rahab told, although beneficial, was not condoned by God. We must understand that at this particular moment, Rahab had not been introduced to God and therefore, she had no trust in Him. She had however heard of the greatness of God's power and as a result she feared Him and thus the Israelites. Because of this fear, she aligned herself with them by protecting the spies. The only way she knew how to prevent their capture was by lying. If she had a prior relationship in right standing with God, He would have led her in what to do and say when the spies and soldiers had approached her respectively. The lie condoned in 1Kings is a result of God granting us our heart's desire. In this episode, Ahab wanted to believe that he would be triumphant in battle. Because of his hubris, God sent a lying spirit to the prophets whom Ahab trusted. God provided the truth through Micaiah, but Ahab chose to disregard his words because he did not like the prophesies that Micaiah gave. As a result, Ahab was killed in the battle. So, truly, there is no cause good enough to lie. If a believer in Christ lies, s/he is denying God and thus Christ. Travellers on the Way should always put there trust in God in that He will always make a way for us even if the situation seems to call for us to stray or bend. God bless. |
