1401 | What Parts Makes Covenant Work? | Heb 9:16 | srbaegon | 206772 | ||
Hello bowler, That depends on the covenant. It also depends on your definition of a covenant. From the Webster 1828 dictionary: COVENANT, n. [L, to come; a coming together; a meeting or agreement of minds.] 1. A mutual consent or agreement of two or more persons, to do or to forbear some act or thing; a contract; stipulation. A covenant is created by deed in writing, sealed and executed; or it may be implied in the contract. 2. A writing containing the terms of agreement or contract between parties; or the clause of agreement in a deed containing the covenant. 3. In theology, the covenant of works, is that implied in the commands, prohibitions, and promises of God; the promise of God to man, that mans perfect obedience should entitle him to happiness. This do, and live; that do, and die. The covenant of redemption, is the mutual agreement between the Father and Son, respecting the redemption of sinners by Christ. The covenant of grace, is that by which God engages to bestow salvation on man, upon the condition that man shall believe in Christ and yield obedience to the terms of the gospel. 4. In church affairs, a solemn agreement between the members of a church, that they will walk together according to the precepts of the gospel, in brotherly affection. Steve |

1402 | Do you acknowledge -Jesus is God's Son? | Heb 10:14 | srbaegon | 108143 | ||
Hello Gal5:16, I can vouch for Searcher's veracity. Your response to 1 John 4 is incomplete, so I would ask a follow-up question: Do you believe Jesus is God come in the flesh? Your question asking how Jesus could have lived a sinless life leads me to believe that you really don't think so. Because if you did believe it, you would know that Jesus, being very God, could never have sinned. Hebrews 4:15 (ESV) For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Steve |

1403 | Even Satan believes - why don't you? | Heb 10:14 | srbaegon | 108271 | ||
Hello Gal5:16, 1 John 4:2,15 address two separate issues: 1) that Jesus was a real person (verse 2) and 2) that Jesus was God in the flesh. Your answer dances around this. So I ask my question again: Is Jesus Christ God come in the flesh? Steve |

1404 | Is it a sin if you don't go to church? | Heb 10:25 | srbaegon | 55647 | ||
Hello Met The whole idea of the church is to meet together for mutual edification and instruction. You as a member of Christ's body are connected to other believers, whether you want to be or not. To remove yourself from that damages you and other Christians. See Romans 12. Steve |
||||||
1405 | Is it a sin if you don't go to church? | Heb 10:25 | srbaegon | 55648 | ||
I meant 1 Corinthians 12, but Rom 12 isn;t bad either. Steve |
||||||
1406 | Do you have to go to church and on sun.? | Heb 10:25 | srbaegon | 57658 | ||
Hello paving27 Yes, you have to go to church. The Greek word for church is "ekklesia" which means to call out for a purpose--doing things together. Check out the previous discussions on this verse. Steve |

1407 | Do I have to go to worship/church? | Heb 10:25 | srbaegon | 177214 | ||
Hello Rob, Heb 10:24-25 (ESV) And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, [25] not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. The short answer is: Yes, you have to meet together with other believers. The very definition of the word translated "church" is to be called out and called together. You can't be called together when you are alone. You can't disciple or be discipled when you are alone. You can't function within and as part of a body (1 Cor 12) when you are alone. Things were not simpler when the New Testament was being written. In many ways, conditions are just now becoming as bad as 1st century Rome--homosexuality was practiced and promoted by the rulers; paganism was rampant; gladiators fought each other for the enjoyment of others (currently televised as Extreme or Ultimate Fighting).

1408 | Why do we have to go church | Heb 10:25 | srbaegon | 191834 | ||
Hello bataz07, Besides the answer you already received, I would add 1 Cor 12:12-26. There we understand that the local church is a microcosm of the body of Christ. As members of a body, we need to be functioning within the body in order for it to function properly. Steve |
||||||
1409 | why we go to church | Heb 10:25 | srbaegon | 202980 | ||
Heb 10:24-25 (ESV): [24] And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, [25] not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. Steve |

1410 | to get to Heaven | Heb 10:25 | srbaegon | 215958 | ||
Hello MeMe 3, What does the Bible says about going to a specific church? That you should go. Steve |
||||||
1411 | As to getting to heaven? | Heb 10:25 | srbaegon | 215960 | ||
That depends on your real question. Is it: a. Do we need to go to a specific church building to go to heaven? b. Do we need to be part of a specific denomination to go to heaven? c. Do we need to avoid a certain denomination to go to heaven? Can you elaborate? Steve |

1412 | member of a Church Gods work | Heb 10:25 | srbaegon | 227043 | ||
Hello brabhamcharlene, Lionheart gave a good answer, so I will add just a bit more. God's people have always been in community when serving him. That is by design. The Holy Spirit enables each person with a gift for use within the body of believers for mutual edification and encouragement. That is impossible when doing those things alone. Even NT mission work was accomplished in groups of two or more. Steve |
||||||
1413 | what is faith | Heb 11:1 | srbaegon | 158321 | ||
Hello kongwa, See Hebrews 11:1 Steve |
||||||
1414 | Faith is will, emotion, truth? | Heb 11:1 | srbaegon | 204014 | ||
Hello Tamara, I forget which theologian first stated that Faith equals Will plus Emotion plus Truth. I understand the thinking, and it is not in conflict with Heb 11:1. It goes like this: 1. Truth - I understand a truth of Scripture. 2. Will - I resolve to abide in that truth and have it abide in me. 3. Emotion - There will be an emotional component to 1 and 2 brought on by sorrow or repentance or joy or whatever our reaction is in finding and doing the truth. Steve |

1415 | Faithful without faith? | Heb 11:1 | srbaegon | 228953 | ||
Hello stellah44, The word "faithful" means "full of faith." If you have no faith, you cannot be faithful. Perhaps your real question is: Is a person able to persevere while questioning faith or without feeling faithful? Is that true, or did I miss the mark? Steve |

1416 | who was the first of all prophets | Heb 11:5 | srbaegon | 147724 | ||
Hello jeanib, The first person to be called a prophet is Abraham (Gen 20:7). Steve |

1418 | God is the author and finisher of our fa | Heb 12:2 | srbaegon | 197357 | ||
Hello jesus1km, One thing at a time. You haven't quoted this correctly. Jesus is the author and finisher. Now for an answer to the question. Jesus is the one in whom salvation is established (therefore the author) and is the one who completes the work of salvation in each person (hence the finisher). Make sense? Steve |

1419 | IF two couples ae married, is it sin? | Heb 13:4 | srbaegon | 185131 | ||
Hello yowege, Are you asking this of two people who are married? Or are you asking of two people who are married to someone else? Steve |
||||||
1420 | The second Man is the Lord from heaven? | Heb 13:8 | srbaegon | 69727 | ||
Hello Ray It's because He had a human nature. Hebrews 2:14-18 gives us clear understanding that Jesus was made like us in every way in order to completely accomplish His work. That means a human nature as well--fully God and fully man. Steve |
