81 | restoration of sodom? | 1 Cor 6:11 | retxar | 25669 | ||
No. It says "When I bring back their captives". See my other post. retxar |

82 | ezk 16-53 | 1 Cor 6:11 | retxar | 25646 | ||
I don't think it does. I think it is speaking of their return from exile from Babylon. See my response under your other post. Another possible meaning: This could mean the opposite of restoration. Jeresulem's thinking was that Sodom and Samaria could never be restored. I think this would speak to them of the severity of God's judgement on them. "I will restore you when I restore your sisters". I.E. You will be restored when pigs fly! retxar |

83 | in ezekiel16-53 what does this mean ? | 1 Cor 6:11 | retxar | 25643 | ||
Ezekiel 16 is speaking of the judgement to come for Jerusalem’s sins. God was comparing there sins to those of Sodom and Samaria. They had little respect for Sodom and Samaria and thought themselves to be much superior than their “sisters”. God told them that the sins which they committed were more abominable and they would bear the judgement for it (Ezekiel 16:52). Their shame would be worse because they stood in judgement of their neighbors ( Mat 7:1-5). I think the verse you are questioning (Ezekiel 16:53) is prophesy speaking of their return from exile in Babylon. They would be lead back along side their “sisters” that they despised. God Bless, retxar |

84 | what sabbath rest in hebrews 4-10 | 1 Cor 6:11 | retxar | 25470 | ||
Heb 4:10 means we are to cease from trying to do good works as a means to obtain righteousness. God rested after creation, as the work was complete. We are to rest in the assurance of the work Jesus did on the cross, as the work was complete and we cannot add to. Anything we try to add, actually takes away (Gal 2:21) Jesus Saves! retxar |

85 | how can I eat flesh | Gen 9:4 | retxar | 25358 | ||
NT believers are not bound by OT dietary laws. 1Col 8:8 But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse. retxar |
||||||
86 | Is God Right Handed? | John 4:24 | retxar | 24273 | ||
With Jesus sitting on God's right hand, would that not be very restrictive, if God was actually right handed? He must be left handed because that would be the hand that Jesus is not sitting on and would be un-restricted! Ask a silly question................ retxar |

87 | Is is right to call money a seed? | NT general Archive 1 | retxar | 23977 | ||
The parable Jesus told of the farmer sowing seeds is not about money, the way I see it. However, 2Co 9:6 is speaking of giving and says "He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully." If we read the next verse we see that any rewards we may receive from giving would be from giving out of love, not obligation and pressure. Certainly not from giving with the intent to receive a reward. The so called biblical formula of giving so much to receive so much, does not seem line up with what Paul said in 2Co 8:12. He said to give out of what we have, not what we don't have. For God so loved us, He gave. For we so love God, we give. hope this helps, retxar |

88 | What Is the verse about Ten Fold | Mark 4:8 | retxar | 23627 | ||
I don't find the term "tenfold", but the parable Jesus taught in Luke 19:12-26 has what represents a tenfold return in verse 16, (Then came the first, saying, 'Master, your mina has earned ten minas.') retxar |

89 | Are the added bits inspired? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 23514 | ||
The passages I think you are referring to are Mark 16:9-20 and John 7:53-8:11. Were they included in God’s original inspired Word? Well, it’s according to who you talk too. If you are talking to me, I believe they are. Some believe they were added by scribes, but the argument is weak, and there is more evidence that they were not added. No bible translator who thinks they were added are confident enough of that belief to leave these passages out of the text of any bible translation. Personally, I accept them as inspired as the rest of the Bible. As with any scripture, unclear passages must be interpreted with other clear passages. I don’t think the 1st part of John 8 presents much of a problem, but many times disputes arise from the long ending in Mark, usually to refute unscriptural beliefs built from it. If we balance scripture with scripture, Mark 16:16-18 presents no problem and should not be viewed as contradicting to any other scripture. Jesus Saves! retxar |

90 | What is the very best Reference Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 22605 | ||
For a reference bible I like the Thompson Chain Reference Study Bible. It is a true reference bible as it contains no commentary, but rather different bible subjects and doctrines with scripture references that tie them together. It is available in KJV, NKJV (what I have), NIV, and NASB (1977). For a study bible I like The Spirit Filled Life Study Bible from Nelson Publishers with Jack Hayford as the main editor. I have the NKJV in this bible also. Study to show thyself approved! retxar |

91 | Jesus and his money | Matt 17:27 | retxar | 22441 | ||
Jesus and His earthly family were not rich. In fact, they were most likely poor. After Jesus was born, Mary brought a turtledove and pigeon instead of a lamb for her post purification burnt offering sacrifice (Luke 2:24). This was allowed for those who were could not afford a lamb. Lev 12:8a 'And if she is not able to bring a lamb, then she may bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons We are rich in Christ Jesus! retxar |

92 | Are new worship songs scripturally OK? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 22238 | ||
The new songs are no different than the old songs, other than age. Many are scriptural and many are not. If one is allowed to pick and choose, the same case could be made against unscriptural old songs, and say they are unscriptural simple because they are old. Many have been listening to unscriptural songs in church all their life, and have never raised an eyebrow, but become very discerning with anything that does not please their ears or tradition. Jesus saves! retxar |

93 | Female pastor? Attending wrong? | 1 Timothy | retxar | 21740 | ||
Welcome Singer. Are you a singer? My son (www.christanraxter.faithweb.com) is a singer, songwriter, and piano player. There is a place he plays at a couple times a month that has a lady there that brings the message on a regular basis. She usually brings a short message between sets on Friday and Saturday night. They also have Sunday morning services and I think she usually brings the message then also. This place is a Christian club and not your traditional church setting. However, I think the spiritual leadership guidelines set forth in the Word still applies, because the church is the body of Christ, not a building. She does not have the title “pastor”, but she is filling that role non the less. I know God’s blessing is on this ministry because I have saw the fruit firsthand! I not telling you all this to rescind what I have already said. This lady would be the first to tell you that she thinks God has a man in mind as the spiritual leader of this fellowship. But until that happens, she will continue to feed the flock as God has called her to do. I think that the submissive attitude she has had while filling this role, is the reason God has blessed this ministry. The ideal family, as the Word teaches, is a husband and wife who love each other, with the husband as high priest and spiritual authority of the home. We all know that this is not always the case. God can, and does, use women to fill this role when the husband is not around, not willing, or not able to step up and assume his God given charge. I think God has to do the same thing in the church sometimes. I know I have not answered your question, and have probably only raised more, but I hesitate to be dogmatic on the issue, as I don’t really know the whole story in your church and have no clear cut answers. I would certainly pray diligently for the Holy Sprit’s gift of wisdom in this matter. Personally, if I attended your fellowship, I would want to see a lady who was filling in as pastor only if she was expecting God to place a man in that spiritual authority position as His Word teaches. I would also want to see her willing to submit and not hinder it happening. In the mean time, I think she should teach and train, not set doctrine and discipline. Hope this helps! God Bless you and you family!, retxar |

94 | Women teaching or in authority | 1 Timothy | retxar | 21631 | ||
Because women in church must be under male leadership, they would be restricted from teaching doctrine and correction but would be allowed to teach exhortation (the way I see it). God made men and women different, so this is a good thing! 1Ti_2:14 says Eve sinned because she was deceived and that Adam was not deceived. He was not deceived because he knew what he was doing! He sinned with full knowledge of the consequences. Because of Adam's sin, not Eve's, judgement came to all mankind (Rom_5:18), even tho Eve sinned 1st. God confronted Adam in the garden, not Eve (Gen_3:11), because God held Adam responsible. Therefore, men are the ones that God holds responsible for church leadership, not women. hope this helps! Jesus Saves!! retxar |

95 | Does GOD get bored with the same prayer? | 1 Sam 16:7 | retxar | 21549 | ||
Not if you are praying from your heart. God want's us to be consistent and persistent (Luke 18:7). If that means praying the same prayers with the same words, over and over, so be it. We even have Jesus as an example to go by! Mat 26:39b ..."O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will." Mat 26:42b ..."O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done." Mat 26:44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Jesus answers prayer! retxar |

96 | How long should a person be expelled ? | 1 Corinthians | retxar | 21309 | ||
Until repentance unto restoration occurs. The expelling would never be for punishment but for restoration. Jesus restores! retxar |

97 | Is there an 'online' study guide | Ephesians | retxar | 20975 | ||
Try http://cf.blueletterbible.org/commentaries/ The commentaries there that include Ephesians are: Jamieson, Fausett and Brown, David Guzik, Matthew Henry, Chuck Smith, and Ray Stedman. Of these, I would recommend the David Guzik commentary for Ephesians. God Bless, retxar |

98 | Does God uses people to phophecy | Isaiah | retxar | 20800 | ||
Act 2:17 'And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. Act 2:18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy. Jesus Saves, retxar |

99 | Thanks, but... | Psalm | retxar | 20391 | ||
Well I’m not sure if the NT is silent on musical instruments in worship or not. Rom 15:9b is a quote of Psa 18:49. "For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, And sing to Your name." The Greek word for sing here is “psallo” which means “to twitch or twang, i.e. to play on a stringed instrument, celebrate the divine worship with music and accompanying odes”. So I think the singing described here could mean with voice and instrument. Psallo is also used in 1Co 14:15, Eph 5:19, and James 5:13. Just a thought! Praise Him! retxar |

100 | Faith apart from reading the Bible? | Rom 10:17 | retxar | 20345 | ||
Hi Steve, One can certainly come to Jesus without reading it out of the Bible. God reveals Himself thru His Word, but many times His Word confirms what He has already revealed to our hearts; as in your case. To believe otherwise would be to deny the power of the Holy Spirit to speak to us. What He reveals to us will ALWAYS line up with the Word. In Christ Jesus, retxar P.S. I know you were only re-posting what had been posted to you, so I’m not talking to you, bro, but Christians should ask themselves if they want to use the word “darn” or not. It is only an alteration of damn and has no different meaning or connotation (look it up). If we would not say damn we should not substitute with the word darn (the way I see it anyway). Thanks bro, retxar. |
