1381 | Can you define or explain II Tim 4:7? | 2 Tim 4:7 | srbaegon | 192919 | ||
Hello DorisD, Paul is just stating that he has finished his life well--for the glory of God. Steve |

1382 | Acts Ch 15, verse 36 to 41 | 2 Tim 4:11 | srbaegon | 174447 | ||
Hello azurelaw, Yes, John Mark improved and was useful to Paul. There is no single answer to your question. It depends on the situation. Paul planned on the next missionary trip being as difficult as the first--therefore he didn't want Mark to fail him again. Barnabas (whose name means Son of Encouragement) saw a way to build up John Mark and wanted to help him along the way. Both of these men were correct concerning John Mark, and it showed by Paul's need of him later in life. Steve |

1383 | Congregation vs. elder rule? | Titus 1:5 | srbaegon | 193492 | ||
Hi Max, Elders have been a part of life for the Lord's people since the bondage of Egypt. Moses used these men to govern, judge, and communicate with the people. 1. Who makes elders? The Holy Spirit (Acts 20:28) 2. How are elders appointed? From Scripture we find that this was accomplished by an apostle (Acts 14:23) or a designate (Titus 1:5). Paul was most likely looking ahead to when this would no longer be the case when he wrote instruction on how to recognize those men the Holy Spirit had selected (1 Tim 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9). These two points rule out the congregational model of choosing their own shepherd(s). 3. What do we do today? It seems most likely that those who are the spiritual leadership be looking for and helping those men to be their replacements upon death. The Lord has placed them for a purpose. As an aside, if there is fear of elder self-perpetuation, that church has more problems than which governmental model to employee. 4. How many elders are to be active at any one time? Scripture always indicates a plurality (see above along with Phil. 1:1; 1 Pet 5:1). The maximum depends solely on the size of the church. 5. What hierarchical structures are found in Scripture? None, save for elders and deacons. One church or group of churches lends aid to another or may otherwise assist, but nowhere can such a structure be found. The word bishop (or overseer) indicates the duty of church leadership while elder (or presbyter) relates to that man's age and wisdom. These two points rule out the episcopal model of government. As an additional resource, I recommend _Biblical_Eldership_ by Alex Strauch. It's not perfect, but it gets most things right. Steve |

1384 | What was Paul's heart as he asks Titus | Titus 1:5 | srbaegon | 229787 | ||
Hello flowergirl, You question is vague. Can you be more explicit? Steve |

1385 | Titus 1:10-12 | Titus 1:12 | srbaegon | 210620 | ||
Hello DUDUTJ, He did not apply it to them. By following the passage, you will see that the main argument is against the Cretans as a whole, but especially to those Cretans who were unbelieving Jews. You might ask why Titus should waste his breath rebuking these people. Paul wants all to be sound in the faith, not just the Christians. Steve |

1386 | Titus 3:5 and washing of regeneration | Titus 3:5 | srbaegon | 132141 | ||
Hello Charles, The washing and renewing by the Holy Spirit (He does both here) is prophesied in Ezek 36:25-27 and mentioned in John 3:5. Steve |

1387 | What does it mean to be washed and renew | Titus 3:5 | srbaegon | 208535 | ||
Hello Marilyn, Paul is pointing to basically the same thing as Jesus did in John 3:1-8 and was prophesied in Ezek 36:25-27; Jer 31:31-34. It is the work of the Holy Spirit as part of the promise of the new covenant in Christ. Steve |

1389 | NIV | Philemon | srbaegon | 32865 | ||
Good morning Tenny In a nutshell, the book of Philemon is a wonderful example of how believers are to treat one another, especially of one in spiritual authority (Paul) to fellow saint (Philemon). In it Paul repeatedly holds Philemon in highest honor in order to plead for Onesimus' welfare as a runaway slave who has come to Christ and is now beneficial to Paul in the work of the gospel.

1390 | what did jesus look like | Hebrews | srbaegon | 27628 | ||
Response.................................. We have no description of the Lord in Scripture. All we can deduce is that He looked like a typical Semitic features (olive skin, hooked nose, black hair). Steve |
||||||
1391 | who wrote Hebrews? | Hebrews | srbaegon | 36088 | ||
Good morning, There have been many suggested authors: Paul Barnabas, Apollos, etc. All we know is that it was a man based on Greek language use when the writer refers to imself. But the truth is that the author deliberately removes authorship--even of the verses cited from the OT. Evidently, he wanted nothing detracting from the central theme of the Lord Jesus Christ. Steve |

1392 | who are the recipients of hebrews | Hebrews | srbaegon | 45517 | ||
Hello mer55 Hebrews was written about 68 A.D. to believing Jews who were under duress and considering going back to Judaism. The theme is that Jesus Christ is better than anything the Law had to offer. Steve |
||||||
1393 | who wrote the book of hebrews? | Hebrews | srbaegon | 137414 | ||
Hello BelieverNChrist, We simply don't know who the author is. Many names have been suggested (Paul, Barnabas, Apollos, Priscilla, etc.), but none are conclusive. Steve |

1394 | Where is Jesus today | Heb 1:3 | srbaegon | 163720 | ||
Hello Donna, Here is a straightforward answer: Hebrews 1:3b-4 (ESV) After making purification for sins, [Jesus] sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. Steve |

Hello, Only two angels are named in the Bible--Michael and Gabriel. Steve |

1397 | When did the Word become the Son? | Heb 5:5 | srbaegon | 37394 | ||
Hello Brent What you refer to is called "Incarnational Sonship." The most notable proponent of this view was John MacArthur of Grace Community Church and "Grace to You" radio program. I say was because he has reversed his position to "Eternal Sonship" which also uphold. See http://www.gty.org.uk/articles/sonship2A.htm Steve |

1398 | Who is Melchizedek? | Heb 7:3 | srbaegon | 119635 | ||
Hello mom81, You have stated what we know about Melchizedek. There isn't any more information. He didn't have a geneology in that it was not mentioned in Genesis. Of course he had a parentage. We (as well as the writer of Hebrews) just don't know what it is. In this way he becomes a type of the Lord Jesus as both priest and king. Steve |

1400 | Altar in the Holy of Holies? | Heb 9:4 | srbaegon | 118998 | ||
Hello Safe Harbour, If I might add to EdB's comments. On the Day of Atonement, which the Hebrews passage relates to, incense was taken into the Holy of Holies and burned there. Leviticus 16:12-13 (ESV) And he shall take a censer full of coals of fire from the altar before the Lord, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and he shall bring it inside the veil [13] and put the incense on the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is over the testimony, so that he does not die. Adolph Saphir in his book on Hebrews says that the golden altar of Heb 9 is actually the censer of Lev 16. Steve |
