381 | the kingdoms of israel/judah - what abot | 1 Kin 12:1 | prayon | 63288 | ||
Greetings Neil and welcome to the forum! I wanted to give you a little history as to why this hapened. In his prosperity King solomon forgot about God. He instead turned his heart to the gods of his wives and disobeyed God's laws and covenant. After everything that God has done for Solomon He became very angry and told Solomon that He would "surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant" (1Kin 11:11b). For David's sake he did leave a remnant to Solomon's son. After Solomon's death God did divide the kingdom, giving his servant Jeroboam th Kingdom of Israel to the North which consisted of 10 tribes. Rehoboam, Solomon's son, He gave 2 tribes, Judah and Benjamin which then became the Northern Kingdom of Judah. The Northern Kingdom had a total of 19 kings and lasted for 211 years. The Southern Kingdom lasted 327 years and had a total of 20 kings. Idolatry was the sole cause of the split. prayon |

383 | what is the ten commandments | Ex 20:2 | prayon | 63155 | ||
Greetings ladycook1, the 10 commandments are a series of commands or moral code from God to the Israelites given through Moses. They are standards that flow from the character of God. They are also called The Law, The Covenant, and The Tables of Testimony. The Jews call them the Ten words. prayon | ||||||

388 | IfGodMakesPeopleJealous,Why is it Wrong? | Rom 13:13 | prayon | 62584 | ||
Greetings Lionstrong, Jealousy is a sin. James 1:13-17 states that No one should say God is tempting me. Each one is tempted by his own evil desire. Desire gives way to sin and sin gives birth to death. So, God cannot be tempted with evil, nor does God tempt any man with evil. God will never, Himself, place any evil thing on man because no evil thing can come from God. prayon | ||||||
389 | What is the message in Matthew 20 1-16 | Matt 20:1 | prayon | 61814 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum! Matthew 20:1-16 is the parable of the laborers. The owner represents God and the vineyard His kingdom. The laborers represent all who have heard God's call to them to live for Him and to use their lives to do God's work in His vineyard. The denarius represents eternal life which is given to all workers equally at the end of the age. Eternal life can never be earned. It is God's free gift through faith that is given in grace to all who believe in Him. One interpretation of the parable is that God gives eternal life to all who respond to His call and believe in Him no matter what the amount or type of service given to God's kingdom. All who enter the vineyard in answer to God's call receive it. Another interpretation is that God's rewards depend on His Sovereign grace. Because He is sovereign, He can determine when people are called and how they are rewarded. The third view is that the parable and it's main teaching centers on the faithfulness of the workers, not on the amount of work or the size of the task. Whatever the case, there is a warning for Christians who recognize that they are called to serve God each and every day. Jealousy and envy have no place in a believers life and those who do suffer from such an attitude may find that they have no rank in God's kingdom even though they may seem to be ahead of others in knowledge, age or years in God's sevice. prayon |

390 | Is the divine revelation of hell biblica | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 61806 | ||
Greetings Passion, I have to totally disagree with Steve that your question is not for the forum. Any question about the bible and whether something relates to it is proper. I have read the book and it is not biblical. However, I have used small parts of it as a "scared straight" tactic with teenagers who were very far off the narrow path. It did have some positive effects. I can not say whether this really did come from God or not - I can not judge what God has possibly revealed to someone or what he has not. Mary Baxter will have to answer to God for her statements. prayon |

391 | 7 sins | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 61703 | ||
Greetings Elder, A sin is a sin is a sin. The sin of murder is no more of a sin than is lying. They both break a commandment that God has given us. The bible talks of one sin that there is no forgiveness for, “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. “Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come". (Matt 12:31-32 NKJV) prayon |

392 | Is it right to go to a spa for massages? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 61700 | ||
Greetings and a belated welcome to the forum. I agree with Ed. If you have put God first and met all your financial obligations to Him there is no reason why you should not have a massage. I am not sure what type of massage you receive but just to clarify, a relaxation massage can be just as therapeutic as a therapeutic massage. Enjoy, my friend! prayon | ||||||
393 | How was earth created? | Gen 1:3 | prayon | 61697 | ||
Greetings Ahmed and welcome to the forum, The earth in the beginning was without form and void (v2). Then God spoke light into existence. That's all He just opened His mouth and spoke and the elements obeyed Him. For a day by day account see Gen 1:1-2:7. prayon | ||||||
394 | Whats up with Judgement, calvinists plz? | Rom 9:21 | prayon | 61372 | ||
I, too, recognize that you are new to the forum and welcome to it, I too, would strongly suggest that you use the Search feature and type in Calvinism. The reasoning behind my suggestion is this: The debates on Calvinism have been and, very unforunately for the general good of this forum, continue to be hashed and rehashed over and over to the point of becoming ridiculously repetitive and hence unproductive. Debates on the so-called "5 Points" (TULIP) of Calvinism have waged for centuries among seasoned and learned theologians and have for the most part failed to be resolved. There is no reason to believe that we of the forum, most of whom could not meet the criteria to be called seasoned and learned theologians, will be able to effect any meaningful consensus either. prayon | ||||||
395 | Pauls Authority | 1 Tim 1:20 | prayon | 61331 | ||
Greetings christian7, Paul said that he handed them over to Satan meaning that he has removed them from the church, thus ending their influence in the church and removing them from the protection and insulation of God's people. They were no longer under God's blessings but under the control of Satan. He did this so that Hymenaeus and Alexander would see how they had fallen into heresies and were attempting to shipwreck the faith of true believers. The ultimate purpose was not punishment but correction. The bible does not tell us how long they took before they learned their lesson. They may not of learned it at all. prayon | ||||||
396 | what does the burning bush symbolize? | Exodus | prayon | 61174 | ||
Greetings Danielle and welcome to the forum! The burning bush was a supernatural event. The appearance of God in the fire of the burning bush reveals 2 important facts about God. First is God's immanence (a permenant abiding within). Fire is an ancient symbol for God, know as far back as God's appearance to Abraham as a "smoking fire pot with a blazing torch" (Gen 15:17). A bush symbolizes all that is commonplace or near at hand. combining these two things would tell us that the presence of the fire in the bush is symbolic of God's presence at all times and in all things. God is with us. He is the ever present God. The second thing the burning bush tells us is of God's holiness, which sets him apart from sinful humanity and transcendence. Although God is holy and ever present it does not give us the permission or right to intrude upon that holiness. When Moses approached he was commanded to remove his sandals. Sandals carry dirt, the removal of the sandals was symbolic of putting off all personal contamination. It was an act of reverance before God which conveyed his own unworthiiness before God. prayon |

397 | forgiveness confirmed? | 1 John 1:1 | prayon | 61172 | ||
Greetings GJH, Suppose you owned a business and you had an employee that had just told you that he was going to quit. Now this employee was your best employee. He worked long hours without high wages. He did overtime to get the job done and never charged you a cent. He was one of those employees who went above and beyond the call of duty. What would you do to get this employee to stay? Would you tell him just about anything to stay? Well when you were not walking with God you were walking with Satan. He does not want to loose you back to Jesus. He will do and say anything to get you to doubt your faith in God. He is truly a deceiver. He will deceive you in all ways. You do not have to and probably won't experience anything "definative" to confirm your relationship. The bible tells you that your relationship has been restored! You are forgiven and your slate has been wiped clean! You must believe and know in your heart that God has forgiven you and the angels in heaven are rejoicing your return. Never doubt God. God is not a God of fear. Fear belongs to Satan. Do not allow Satan to get a foothold in your life by getting you to question God. Claim your Joy!!! prayon |

398 | Listening to God | Matt 7:7 | prayon | 61039 | ||
Greetings vildan and welcome to the forum, The first way to learn to hear God is to pray. "Make me to know your ways O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long" (Psalm 25:4-5). Ask Him to let you hear Him. "Whatever you ask me I will give you up to half of my kingdom" (Mark 6:23). "Whatever you ask of God, God will give you" (John 11:22). Then listen. He will speak to you in a quiet voice. The story of Elijah teaches us that God speaks more frequently in whispers than in shouts. God also uses others to speak to you. It might be through a person who you are having a conversation with, or through the radio or TV. Hope this helps. prayon |

Greetings nae64, I will not speculate why this has happened, as Kalos said the forum is not a place to counsil. I want to say though that God knows what is in your heart and He will bless you for it. Remember that "all things work together for the good to those who love God" (Rom 8:28). prayon | ||||||
