803 | What does this verse mean? | Heb 10:26 | prayon | 2035 | ||
I believe that it tells us that if you are made aware that some action you do is a sin but choose to continuously ignore the teaching you are rejecting Christ and God's most precious gift. There is but one way to salvation and that is through Jesus Christ. He is the only way to forgiveness and eternal life. When you turn your back on Him there only remains the "fearful prospect of judgement and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries" (Hebrews 10:27). One way this can be applied today is if you are in a religion that does not believe in Jesus Christ and you reject the truth, and choose to stay where you are at, you have closed the only door to salvation there is. | ||||||
804 | justification by faith | Heb 10:38 | prayon | 125603 | ||
Greetings shael, This is part of a quote from Hab 2:3 - "Hab 2:4 "Look at the proud person. He is not right in himself. But the righteous person will live because of his faithfulness. It probably refers to the same thing. . The sense is, that a persevering confidence or belief in the Lord will preserve us amidst all the trials and calamities to which we are exposed. (Barnes notes on the Bible) Hope this helps. prayon |

805 | How were ppl saved before Jesus came? | Heb 11:6 | prayon | 49218 | ||
Greetings Amrit, To be forgiven for sin there must be a blood sacrifice. Before Jesus, this involved sacrificing an animal such as a ram, sheep, dove, ect. Leviticus 1-5 goes into each of the 5 different types of offerings in detail. Today is no different, there must also be a blood offering to be forgiven for sins. The blood of Jesus Christ was our sin offering. He sacrificed Himself so that we may be saved, putting an end to animal sacrifices. All through history since Adam there have been people who have sinned and have not offered a blood sacrifice. These people have gone to hell. prayon |

807 | Mose's private life vs. public ministry | Heb 11:24 | prayon | 41520 | ||
Greetings edavis, There are so many things that prepared him for his ministry that they can't be all mentioned. Moses while living in Egypt was a proud man. He had to learn humility for his ministry. He learned this when he submitted to being a sheppherd under Reuel who's name was later changed to Jethro. You must understand here that to an Egyptian shepherds were the lowest of the low. The very bottom of the totem pole. Moses did this for 40 years. He had to learn to be a man of prayer. He started to learn this lesson when he ran from the pharaoh after murdering the guard. He was alone in the desert with no where to turn except to God. There is a time lapse between verses 10 and 11 of Exodus 2 of about 40 years during the time which Moses grew up. We know that during this time Moses was being educated "in all the wisdom of the Egyptians", (Acts 7:22). His early education would of included mathematics, geometry, trigonometry and the ability to measure and lay our land. He would of learned to read and write and understand mechanics. Being a member of the Pharaohs family he would of also had military training. The most important lesson of all though is what he learned in his first home from a slave mother. He received his knowledge of the ways of Isreal and was told about the lives of the patriarchs. Most assuredly he learned his strong faith from her. We know of his faith because he turned his back on all that Egypt had to offer including wealth and nobility in order to identify with God's purposes for his people in history. He did this at the time he murdered the guard who was abusing an Isrealite. This was not the act of an impetuous young man but a 40 year old who had much wealth and power. He knew what this act would cost him. Through this incident Moses (and we are taught many things by God including: 1. Apart from God we can do nothing no matter how talented and wise we think we are. 2. We learn what terrible things we are capable of doing if we persist in our plans and methods instead of waiting on God. 3. The ends do not justify the means. No matter how noble our desires or how right our objectives it is absolutely necessary that we accomplish them in God's way and not our own. 4. God is able to work in spite of our failures. I hope this helps you some. prayon |

808 | When is it too late to repent? | Heb 12:17 | prayon | 11531 | ||
The words "place of repentance" mean zan opportunity to repair by repenting. He found no way to reverse repentance what he had done. The penalty could not be reversed in the nature of the case. This is clear from Issac's words in Gen 27:33. (from word studies in the New Testament). It is never too late to repent, it can be however to late to undo the consequences of not repenting earlier. prayon |

809 | Mount Sinai or Zion? | Heb 12:22 | prayon | 11535 | ||
Many awesome things happened on Mt. Sinai. It was the mountain that the law was delivered to Moses and the covenant between God and Isreal was sealed and where God revealed his presence. It has also been called the Mountain of God, or Mount Horeb. The mountain played a significant role in the spiritual developement of Moses. The Lord's presence on this peak came to symbolize divine protection. Paul uses Mount Sinai to symbolize the Old Testament. Mount Zion (or Sion in the KJV) was another favorite abode of God. Psalm 2:6 refers to Zion as "my (God's) holy hill", the "holy habitation of the Most High (Ps. 46:4), "Mount Zion which He loves", is where God "built his sanctuary like the high heavens (Ps 78:68-69), and Psalm 48:1-2 calls it His Holy mountain, beautiful in elevation. It is also where David's tomb is located and where the upper room of the last supper took place. On numerous occations it is referred to as a metaphor for security and protection (Ps 125). The New Testament continues this imagery using the term "heavenly Jerusalem" in reference to the church (Heb 12:22),and the gospel message (1Pet 2:6). In the New Testament it represents the newness of true worship and the "new Jerusalem" where Christ's redeemed will live with Him. John also states in Rev 14:1 that he looked and saw Christ standing with the 144,000. I would choose to live on Mt Zion for the reasons mentioned above. prayon |

812 | What does the blood of Abel speak? | Heb 12:24 | prayon | 11534 | ||
Abel's blood cried for revenge, it was the blood of sin. Christ's blood cried for forgiveness. It is the blood of sacrifice. The ultimate sacrifice that gave us the new covenant, that is Christ shed His blood for us and our sin's. | ||||||
813 | When did His voice shake the earth? | Heb 12:26 | prayon | 11533 | ||
The only information I can find is He shook the earth at Sinai, however Solomon's temple was mentioned in the International Bible Commentary. According to the prophecy of Haggi (2:6) God now plans to shake the whole universe, so that only those things belonging to an unshakeable order may remain. | ||||||
814 | WHY COULDN'T THE RIGHTEOUS | Heb 13:2 | prayon | 20533 | ||
Greetings dltlshines, When Jesus says that we have fed him, gave him drink or welcomed Him He is referring to the acts of kindness that we do to others in whom he resides. As Hebrews says "by showing hospitality to strangers, we have entertained angels without knowing it" so also, do we entertain Jesus without knowing it because we never know whose heart he is living in. We do many acts of kindness that we do not remember doing or that we do unconsiously because we have the nature of Christ living in us. So it is with the righteous in this parable. | ||||||
815 | does God turn away from anyone? | Heb 13:5 | prayon | 18812 | ||
Greetings Little Helper and welcome to the forum! No God never turns His back on anyone. He is always there for anyone who asks Him to be. We can choose to turn our back on Him. I believe that when someone does turn their back on Him, he sheds a tear and then continues to put His messages in their pathway hoping to call them back into his flock. prayon |

817 | Why is marijuana use prohibited? | Heb 13:17 | prayon | 68262 | ||
The law says that to smoke marijuana is illegal. God says we are to obey the laws that are set before us. Therefore, the verses below are where it states in the bible that marijuana use is prohibited. "Submit to the government and its officers" (Titus 3:1) "Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves", Romans 13:1-2. prayon |

819 | Building Endurance | James 1:2 | prayon | 171749 | ||
Greetings Jason, It means that whatever situation or trial we are in we should be joyful whether we are in that trial because of earthly things or whether we are in battle in the spiritual world. We should never be depressed or "down and out". God is instructing us to remain joyful in all situations. I have found that no matter how difficult the situation is, no matter what I am facing I can always find something to be joyful about and when I do that it makes the battle easier! prayon |

820 | How much time spent on the Forum? | James 1:25 | prayon | 133734 | ||
Greetings Just me, I believe that being on the forum is the same as studying God's word. In order to answer the different questions that are posed you must research God's word to both correctly answer and provide scriptural back-up. I believe that you are spending too much time if you are neglecting the things that the Lord has entrusted to you such as providing for your family, your church, guiding and teaching your children. Hope this helps. prayon |
