82 | Stars do cease to exist...Isa 40:26? | Is 40:26 | retxar | 2446 | ||
Do stars really cease to exist? How do you know? I really don't know if they cease to exist or not. Anyway, even if they do, this verse does not say either way. It simple says "not one of them is missing" (faileth-KJV lacking-LITV). In another words, there under the control of God and not one gets lost and are all in the arrangement as God desires. | ||||||
83 | keep committing the same sin over and ov | Is 53:1 | retxar | 14609 | ||
1st John 1:9 says if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. God is faithful to forgive our sin, as you are aware, but don’t leave out the 2nd part of this verse. Pray for God to not only to forgive you, but also to cleanse you. Read and study diligently the last part of Romans 7 and see how Paul went thru the same struggles as you (and me). Read and study diligently the 1st part of Romans 8 to understand how, in the flesh, we are slaves to sin and have no power to overcome. However, we have victory thru Jesus if we walk by the Spirit and not the flesh. Set you mind on the things of the Spirit not on the things of the flesh (Romans 8:5). In order to overcome sin, we must do more than try to resist temptation, we must also submit and draw close to God (James 4:7-8). Read and study diligently James 4. Memorize James 4:8. Stand on it! We will not practice sin when we are close to God. We sin when we pull away, and lean toward our own understanding. We get close to God in 3 ways; thru the Word, thru prayer, and thru fellowship. Be an active member at your local fellowship. Be accountable to the spiritual authority there. Share your struggles with him. In Luke 11:24-26 Jesus spoke of a man being delivered from an unclean spirit (sin in your case, NOT a demon). The man did not replace the evil with good and he wound up in worse shape than before. You must replace the evil with good in order to overcome. Give this thing to God in weakness not strength. Don’t have a I’ll do better, I’ll try harder, I’m strong, attitude (from you post, you don’t). Avoid situations that would allow you to be tempted. Ask God for the gift of faith (1Co 12:9). When we overcome sin it is always a work of the Holy Spirit. Any work of the Spirit can only be accomplished thru supernatural faith that only God can give us (Heb 12:2a). Ask God to give you that gift of faith you need to believe His Word that you will overcome! In Christ Jesus, retxar |

86 | Why does it say "since", not "if"? | Matt 4:6 | retxar | 15115 | ||
I did a quick search on Strongs #1487 (Greek ei i) and found 292 occurances. Not even once did I see the translation "since". Do you know of a verse where "ei i" is translated "since"? To me, it just doesn't make good "sense" to make "if" "since" here. In Christ Jesus, retxar |

87 | Prayers, original, not repetitions | Matt 6:7 | retxar | 27685 | ||
Mat 6:7 "And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. The problem with a prayer that would fall in the "vain repetitions" classification would not be the repetitions, as Jesus even prayed prayers that repeated themselves (Mat_26:39; Mat_26:42; Mat_26:44). The problem would be in the “vain” part. Prayers that were all mouth, and no mind and heart. God answers prayer! retxar |

Yes!! I tell my children to pray to Jesus, because the WORD teaches it! Acts 7:59, 1Co 1:2, Rom 1:8, Act 2:21, Rom 1:9, Rom 10:13, etc. etc. etc. | ||||||
90 | Where are the scriptures, believers? | Matt 6:15 | retxar | 15266 | ||
Here's a few quick verses in addition to 1Jo 1:9. Acts 19:18 And many who had believed came confessing and telling their deeds. Jam 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. 1Jo 2:1 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. |

91 | Matthew Chap.4 verse 2 | Matt 6:18 | retxar | 25774 | ||
Mat 6:16-18 gives scriptural guidelines for fasting. I think that not partaking of the communion for fasting purposes would risk bringing attention to your fast. On the other hand, if the intent was to “sneak a snack”, I don't think partaking would be a wise choice, as that is not the intent of communion. I think I would partake, but it really would be an individual choice, as only God and you know your heart. I did a week fast once, with a commitment to only eat food offered to me, but to eat it whether I liked it or not. Some days I ate, some days I did not. I was blessed from the fast and also from the food God supplied from unexpected sources when things got really tough. retxar |

92 | 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 |

93 | KJV important scripture | Matt 20:23 | retxar | 56777 | ||
Any majority/received text Bible translation (kjv, nkjv, litv, web, mkjv) will say "baptized" here, not just the KJV. The parallel scripture found in Mark 10 will be in all Bibles, regardless of translations. I don't think that the "baptized with" here is referring to spiritual baptism into the body of Christ as in your 1Co12:13 reference. I think "baptized with" and "drink the cup" are referring to the same thing, which is persecution and suffering. Jesus tells them that they don't really know what they were asking for and indicated he was not talking about something pleasant. To "drink of a cup" almost always refers to a cup of suffering in scripture (Psa73:10, Psa75:8, Isa51:17, Isa51:22, Jer25:15, Mat26:39, Rev16:9). retxar |

94 | believers at Great White Throne Judgemen | Matt 25:32 | retxar | 26963 | ||
I interpret the great white throne judgement to be judgement of non-believers only (actually sentencing). Rev 20:12 says that those not written in the Book of Life will be judged “according to their works”. We are in big trouble if that is talking about us! A Christian is not judged according to works. The intent of our works are judged (1Cor 3:12-15), but that is a judgement to determine our reward, not punishment. The white throne judgement is a judgement of sin. A Christian's sins have already been judged! Our sins will not escape God’s judgement, as Jesus took full judgement and punishment for them on the cross! (1John 2:2) Thank you Jesus! Jesus Saves! retxar PS. The Mat 25:32 scripture reference is not the white throne judgement, as that is a judgement of the living, not the dead. |

96 | 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 |

97 | Does Mark 7:19 contradict Acts 15:29? | Mark 7:19 | retxar | 19155 | ||
No contradiction exist at all between Mark 7:19 and Acts 15:29. In Mark Jesus said it’s not what goes into ones mouth that defiles them, but what comes out of one’s mouth that defiles because that is where all evil originates and the thing coming out of ones mouth is a reflection of what is in their heart. The scripture in Acts simple says for the Gentile believers to abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. The instructions to the Gentile believers in Acts has nothing to with themselves being defiled, but rather assured harmony between the new Gentile believers who lived and worshiped with new Jewish believers. The letter sent to the Gentiles in Acts 15:23-29 was a result of the meeting of the apostles and elders in Jerusalem to address the problem the believing Pharisees were causing by demanding that the Gentiles be bound by Mosaic Law (Acts 15:5-6). The four things the apostles decided would be a good idea for the Gentiles to observe had nothing to do with their own defilement, as Jesus was addressing in Mark7:19, but was simple to protect the Gentile believers witness among their Jewish neighbors. The letter sent to the Gentiles said they would “do well” (commanded?) if they abstained from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled and from sexual immorality. Three of these were addressing the eating habits of Gentile Christians. The Gentiles were not bound to the ceremonial Levitical Law (1Co 8:8), but they were not to use their liberty to be a stumbling block to there Jewish neighbors either (1Co 8:9). If they abused their liberty they would be sinning against their brethren, and thus, would be sinning against Jesus (1Co 8:12). I think the instruction for the Gentile Christians to abstain from sexual immorality here does not mean the common acts of fornication, as this was recognized as wrong by all Christians. This was instructions for the Gentiles to observe certain marriage regulations spelled out in the Levitical Law which prohibited marriages between relatives. This was something most Gentiles of that time thought little of. The Gentile believers here were simply asked to give up some of their "rights" as a display of their love for their Jewish brethren. Read 1Co 8, that will help put this in perspective. I hope this helps, and doesn’t seem like too much “smoke and mirrors”, but the straight forward answer you were looking for. Later Bro! Jesus Saves! retxar |

98 | Mat 17:20 vs I Cor 13:2? | Mark 9:23 | retxar | 8760 | ||
Maybe the mountain moving faith Jesus and Paul were talking about were not that much different from each other. Consider Mat 13:31-32, Mark 4:31-31, and Luke 13:19. In all illustrations, Jesus speaks of the mustard seed as something that starts out small and grows large and strong. Maybe Jesus was talking about the characteristic of a mustard seed in Mat 17:20, not the size? I tend to see it that way. In order to “move mountains”, we must have faith like a mustard seed that takes root and grows! Jesus is Lord! |

99 | Retxar, additional thoughts please! | Mark 9:23 | retxar | 9015 | ||
I guess an additional thought I have is the importance Paul put on love in 1Cor 13. We must always have an attitude of love in our dealings with all, in all situations. Jesus said in John 13:35 "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." 1Cor 13:2 tells me I should seek all truth, but more importantly I must be careful to always have the right attitude (an attitude of love). It is easy for me to forget this if I am trying to get someone to see my point of view, even tho I am sure I am right and the other person is wrong. If I have the wrong attitude, it does not matter if I am right or not, I am only trying to make myself look good, and Jesus cannot be glorified. Lack of love comes from walking after the flesh not the Spirit. Can we have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and have faith to remove mountains, and have not love? This would be impossible! The gifts of the Spirit can only be exercised in love, otherwise they become a work of the flesh. What begins as a work of the Spirit must continue in the Spirit and cannot be perfected in the flesh (Chuck Smith, Calvary Chapel). I believe the actual movement of a physical mountain is not to be taken literally. I believe it is an exaggeration to make a point (as in Luke 14:26 for example). As far a prophecy revealing the proper understanding of all mysteries and knowledge, I think this is correct in the fact that all mysteries and knowledge revealed are correct, not that they reveal all. This again must be by the leading of the Spirit and not the flesh. When a prophecy fails is when it is something we work up in our own head, not when the Holy Spirit reveals it to us. We must be very careful when we say "thus saith the Lord" when what we really meant was "thus saith my head". God Bless! retxar |

100 | Are you convinced? | Mark 16:10 | retxar | 54782 | ||
Ray, I don’t doubt Mark 16:9-20 as being inspired at all. Your post presents strong internal evidence of its originally. Here’s another bit of evidence that I think might convince others to believe it is authentic also! In his book “Against Heresies” by Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyons, he says; "Also towards the conclusion of his Gospel, Mark says; "So then, after the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sits on the right hand of God." This is, without a doubt, a quote of Mark 16:19. What is interesting is the fact that “Against Heresies” was written in about A.D.180. This precedes the Vaticanus and Sinaiticus manuscripts by about 200 years! If Mark 16 is supposed to end at verse 8, and verses 9-20 were added hundreds of years after the Vaticanus and Sinaiticus, what in the world was Irenaeus reading? Do not be unbelieving, but believing! retxar P.S. PLEASE don’t take my word for this. Check out my source at www.ccel.org/fathers/ANF-01/iren/iren3.html#Section10 (paragraph 5). |
