41 | How was God YHWH called in prayer? | Matt 6:9 | 00123 | 190076 | ||
Hi, Doc, As a newer, I thought question means question. Thanks for the advice. |

42 | Jesus' harsh words | Matt 12:34 | 00123 | 224705 | ||
Jesus is God of love. So, what does His behavior of this verse mean? (1) Jesus loved them in heart, but not in word, invoking them to repent. So, His harsh word was an expression of true love. (2) In fact, Jesus couldn't love them because they were evil. Only those who are evil do not get God's love. (3) Other (specify please) |

43 | Who is the man who buys the treasure? | Matt 13:44 | 00123 | 225871 | ||
What is the treasure and who is the man? if the treasure is the Kingdom of Heaven (is it?), can we say the man who sacrifices everything is our Lord rather than we? The reason I am thinking that way is we didn't pay anything but faith and confession to enter the Kingdom, but the Lord did. For example, “Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. (Isaiah 55:1 ESV). We just go and receive the Kingdom as a gift of grace. No "work" of "price" of our own is involved for us to be a citizen of the Kingdom. |

44 | Matthew 13:45-46 (NIV) Pls Explain | Matt 13:45 | 00123 | 188390 | ||
I heard a pastor say the merchant is Jesus our Lord and the pearls of great values are the elected Christians (Jesus indeed said a man's sould is more precious than the whole universe). Jesus sacrificed His everything to redeem us. | ||||||
45 | Moses appeared from where? | Matt 17:3 | 00123 | 225342 | ||
Moses and Elijah appeared. We can guess Elijah ca,e down from heaven as he ascended to heaven alive. My question is from where Moses appeared. Did he also come down from heaven? If so (or not), would you provide the Bible verses you used as the basis of your answer? Thank you. | ||||||
46 | Moses appeared from where? | Matt 17:3 | 00123 | 225361 | ||
Excuse me, but the word "vision" is just "what they had seen." So, Moses and Elijah showed up in reality. See mark 9:9, "as they were coming down the mountain, he (Jesus) charged them to tell no one what they had seen." So, the vision was real, not an illusion at all. | ||||||
47 | Moses appeared from where? | Matt 17:3 | 00123 | 225363 | ||
I see your point. Thanks for bringing the Greek word to understand the verse correctly. Okay, the vision of Matt 17:3 refers to "having seen" Moses and Elijah. However, these two prophets conversed with Jesus (:3, Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him). Then, who are they? Are they just a manipulated illusion Jesus produced to the eyes of the disciples or are they real with their own intelligence and personality? | ||||||
48 | Moses appeared from where? | Matt 17:3 | 00123 | 225373 | ||
Dear drbloor, The more important question I raised was whether or not Moses and Elijah were real. By the word "real," I mean these two men were themselves (historical Moses and Elijah as documented in the Bible). In visions in other places of the Bible, an angel, a man, or the Lord Himself appeared in a dream. In each time, the angel was the real angel, the man was the real man, and the Lord was the true living Lord. So, in your interpretation, were Moses and Elijah real? Note that they talked with Jesus. Another point: Jesus transfigured, which means Jesus became a different person. If that situation was a mere vision, don't we expect two figures of Jesus: one is a real one and the other is in the vision? Pursuing the truth, 00123 | ||||||

Doc, thanks for the reply. So, what is meant by talent? -00123 | ||||||
51 | Jesus views on the wealthy and the poor | Matt 25:26 | 00123 | 233048 | ||
His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ (Matthew 25:21 ESV) Based on this talent parable by Jesus, can we say the financially rich people are upright (honorable, admirable) and faithful, while the financially poor people are wicked, lazy, and idle? I know that could be too much generalization because in other places of the Bible the rich are condemned (James 1:10, 11, 2:5, 6, 5:1), but the Jesus parable is totally against our current social and political climate that the rich are considered wicked and lazy while the poor, industrious and honest. |

52 | No marriage b/c we are bride of Jesus? | Mark 12:25 | 00123 | 233060 | ||
Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. Mark 12:25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. Luke 20:35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage. Jesus says that after resurrection, nobody marries. Is that because we, male or female, are the bride of Jesus and all of us already have a husband, Jesus, so it doesn't make sense for us to marry anyone else (of course, including sex with any human)? Relationships with the Lord will replace those with a human spouse. We desire to be resurrected (or raptured), unite with Jesus, reign with Him, and spend eternity with Him, but it appears we are very much ignorant of the life in the Kingdom of God that comes with our resurrection. A major reason might be the Bible is silent about it, but we focus too much on the earthly life issues. Anyhow, it looks very sure that there will be wonders after wonders in the Kingdom of God because the life there is very much different from that now and that we will be so excited and busy to learn about and enjoy every of them. |

53 | No marriage b/c we are bride of Jesus? | Mark 12:25 | 00123 | 233062 | ||
Ed, my question was not about sex, but I respectively disagree with you that sex was (mainly) for procreation. For example, Song of Songs shows that sex was a critical means to increase the depth of the relationship through mutual joy. Again, my question was not about sex. | ||||||
54 | Pastor giving a wrong info | Luke 6:37 | 00123 | 223225 | ||
A pastor keeps giving a wrong information in his sermon. For example, one day, he said Oprah Winfrey's success results from her Christian faith, so we should live like her. But Oprah is not a Christian but a new age activist who belives there are millions of ways to go to God or to Heaven, rejecting the Bible's teaching that Jesus Christ alone is the only Way to God. Am I "judging" the pastor when saying his idea on Oprah is incorrect? Should I just "forgive" him for whatever misinformation in the sermon? | ||||||
55 | Actions to preach the kingdom of God | Luke 9:2 | 00123 | 224432 | ||
Exactly what did Jesus mean by "preach the kingdom of God"? Let us imagine we are His disciples in Jesus' time. We were sent by Him and enter a village. Then, what were we suppose to do there? Can you list what actions to take to preach the kingdom of God? Tell me some details in the act of preaching. Thank you. | ||||||
56 | Actions to preach the kingdom of God | Luke 9:2 | 00123 | 224443 | ||
Inquisitor, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Imitating the Lord thru our life is very important for ourselves as well as for efefctive preaching. But that was not answering my question, which was what the disciples did in the villages to preach the kingdom of God. I am interetsed their actions in the villages. God bless. |
