82 | Define The Fruit Of The Spirit (Gal5:22- | Gal 5:22 | Aniset | 104093 | ||
Now this is kinda long so I will have to post in in 2 parts. I am sure it will answer your question. How Godly Love Acts. Love, such as God is, is so wonderful that it is hard to define. It is easier to tell how it acts. In the following discussion of this fine quality, its application to Christians will be considered. The apostle Paul, in writing on the subject, first emphasizes how essential it is for a Christian believer and then details how it acts unselfishly: "Love is long-suffering and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, does not get puffed up, does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury. It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."-1Co 13:4-7. "Love is long-suffering and kind." It puts up with unfavorable conditions and wrong actions of others, doing so with a purpose, namely, to work out the eventual salvation of those doing wrong or of others involved in the circumstances, as well as to bring honor and vindication, finally, to God's name. (2Pe 3:15) Love is kind, no matter what the provocation may be. Roughness or harshness on the part of a Christian toward others would not accomplish any good. "Love is not jealous." It is not envious of good things coming to others. It rejoices in seeing a fellowman receive a position of greater responsibility. It does not begrudge even one's enemies receiving good things. It is generous. God makes his rain fall on the righteous and the unrighteous. (Mt 5:45) God's servants who have love are content with their lot (1Ti 6:6-8) and their place, not getting out of place or selfishly seeking the position occupied by another. Satan the Devil selfishly and enviously did get out of place, even desiring worship to be given to him by Jesus Christ.-Lu 4:5-8. Love "does not brag, does not get puffed up." It does not seek the applause and admiration of creatures. (Ps 75:4-7; Jude 16) The person having love will not push another person down to make himself appear greater. Rather, he will exalt God and will sincerely encourage and build up other persons. (Ro 1:8; Col 1:3-5; 1Th 1:2, 3) He will be happy to see another Christian make advancement. And he will not boast of what he is going to do. (Pr 27:1; Lu 12:19, 20; Jas 4:13-16) He will realize that all he does is due to the strength coming from Jehovah. (Ps 34:2; 44:8) Jehovah told Israel: "Let the one bragging about himself brag about himself because of this very thing, the having of insight and the having of knowledge of me, that I am Jehovah, the One exercising loving-kindness, justice and righteousness in the earth; for in these things I do take delight."-Jer 9:24; 1Co 1:31. Love "does not behave indecently." It is not ill-mannered. It does not engage in indecent behavior, such as sexual abuses or shocking conduct. It is not rude, vulgar, discourteous, insolent, coarse, or disrespectful to anyone. A person who has love will avoid doing things that, in appearance or actions, disturb his Christian brothers. Paul instructed the congregation at Corinth: "Let all things take place decently and by arrangement." (1Co 14:40) Love "does not look for its own interests." It follows the principle: "Let each one keep seeking, not his own advantage, but that of the other person." (1Co 10:24) The possessor of love does not demand that everything be done his way. Paul said: "To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to people of all sorts, that I might by all means save some. But I do all things for the sake of the good news, that I may become a sharer of it with others." (1Co 9:22, 23) Neither does love demand its "rights"; it is more concerned with the spiritual welfare of the other person.-Ro 14:13, 15. Love "does not become provoked." It does not look for an occasion or an excuse for provocation. It is not moved to outbursts of anger, which is a work of the flesh. (Ga 5:19, 20) One having love is not easily offended by what others say or do. He is not afraid that his personal "dignity" may be injured. |

83 | Define The Fruit Of The Spirit (Gal5:22- | Gal 5:22 | Aniset | 104094 | ||
Love "does not keep account of the injury." (Literally, it is not "reckoning the bad thing"; Int.) It does not consider itself to be injured and so lay up that injury as something 'on the books of account,' to be settled, or paid off, in due time, in the meantime permitting no relations between the injured and the injurer. That would be a vengeful spirit, condemned in the Bible. (Le 19:18; Ro 12:19) Love will not impute evil motives to another but will be inclined to make allowances and give others the benefit of the doubt.-Ro 14:1, 5. Love "does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth." Love rejoices with the truth even though it upsets previous beliefs held or statements made. It sticks with God's Word of truth. It always sides with the right, finding no pleasure in wrong, in lies, or in any form of injustice, no matter who the victim is, even if he is an enemy. However, if a thing is wrong or misleading, love does not fear to speak out in the interests of truth and of others. (Ga 2:11-14) Also, it prefers to suffer wrong rather than commit another wrong in an attempt to straighten out the matter. (Ro 12:17, 20 Love "bears all things." It is willing to endure, to suffer for righteousness' sake.(If the offense is not too serious, he will overlook it. Otherwise, when the course recommended by Jesus at Matthew 18:15-17 is applicable, he will follow it. Love "believes all things." Love has faith in the things God has said in his Word of truth, even if outward appearances are against it and the unbelieving world scoffs.) Love believes all God says, though it may not be able to grasp it thoroughly, and it is willing to wait patiently until the matter is more fully explained or until getting a clear understanding. (1Co 13:9-12; 1Pe 1:10-13) Love also trusts in God's direction of the Christian congregation and his appointed servants and backs up their decisions based on God's Word. (1Ti 5:17; Heb 13:17) However, love is not gullible, for it follows the counsel of God's Word to "test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God," and it tests everything by the measuring rule of the Bible. (1Jo 4:1; Ac 17:11, 12) Love "hopes all things." It has hope in all the things Jehovah has promised. (Ro 12:12; Heb 3:6) It continues to work, waiting patiently for Jehovah to bring fruitage, to make things grow. (1Co 3:7) Love "endures all things." Love is required for the Christian to keep his integrity toward Jehovah God. Despite whatever the Devil may do to test the soundness of the Christian's devotion and faithfulness to God, love will endure in a way that holds the Christian true to God.-Ro 5:3-5; Mt 10:22. "Love never fails." It will never come to an end or cease to exist. New knowledge and understanding may correct things we once believed; hope changes as the hoped-for things are realized and new things are hoped for, but love always remains in its fullness and continues to be built up stronger and stronger.-1Co 13:8-13. |

84 | What is Faith | Gal 5:22 | Aniset | 104097 | ||
Faith The word "faith" is translated from the Greek pi´stis, primarily conveying the thought of confidence, trust, firm persuasion. Depending on the context, the Greek word may also be understood to mean "faithfulness" or "fidelity."-1Th 3:7; Tit 2:10. The Scriptures tell us: "Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld." (Heb 11:1) "Assured expectation" translates the Greek word hy·po´sta·sis. This term is common in ancient papyrus business documents. It conveys the idea of something that underlies visible conditions and guarantees a future possession. In view of this, Moulton and Milligan suggest the rendering: "Faith is the title deed of things hoped for." (Vocabulary of the Greek Testament, 1963, p. 660) Faith is, therefore, the basis for hope and the evidence for conviction concerning unseen realities. The entire body of truths delivered by Jesus Christ and his inspired disciples constitutes the true Christian "faith." (Joh 18:37; Ga 1:7-9; Ac 6:7; 1Ti 5:8) Christian faith is based on the complete Word of God, including the Hebrew Scriptures, to which Jesus and the writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures frequently referred in support of their statements. Faith is based on concrete evidence. The visible creative works testify to the existence of an invisible Creator. (Ro 1:20) In the Hebrew Scriptures, the word ´a·man´ and other words closely related convey the sense of trustworthiness, faithfulness, steadiness, steadfastness, being firmly established, long-lasting. (Ex 17:12; De 28:59; 1Sa 2:35; 2Sa 7:16; Ps 37:3) One related noun (´emeth´) usually denotes "truth," but also "faithfulness" or "trustworthiness." (2Ch 15:3, ftn; 2Sa 15:20; compare Ne 7:2, ftn.) The familiar term "Amen" (Heb., ´a·men´) also comes from ´a·man´.-See AMEN |

86 | Christians ambivalent about death? | Phil 1:23 | Aniset | 105532 | ||
I understand what you are saying. I was taught that as a child although I never understood it. I read the bible alot and I can appreciate that Gods word the bible has an answer for everything. One thing I have learned through my reading is that GOD has a purpose for the earth. He didn't make it just for nothing. God created the earth so that humans could enjoy living on it forever.He wanted the earth always to be inhabited by righteous, happy people. (Psalm 115:16; Isaiah 45:18) The earth will never be destroyed; it will last forever.-Psalm 104:5; Ecclesiastes 1:4. 2. Before God made man, He chose one small part of the earth and made it into a beautiful paradise. He called it the garden of Eden. It was here that he put the first man and woman, Adam and Eve. God purposed for them to have children and fill the whole earth. Gradually they would have made the entire earth into a paradise.-Genesis 1:28; 2:8, 15. 3. Adam and Eve sinned by deliberately breaking God's law. So GOD put them out of the garden of Eden. Paradise was lost. (Genesis 3:1-6, 23) But GOD has not forgotten his purpose for this earth. He promises to make it into a paradise, where humans will live forever. How will he do this?-Psalm 37:29. 4. Before this earth can become a paradise, wicked people must be removed. (Psalm 37:38) This will happen at Armageddon, which is God's war to end wickedness. Next, Satan will be imprisoned for 1,000 years. This means that no wicked ones will be left to spoil the earth. Only God's people will survive.-Revelation 16:14, 16; 20:1-3. 5. Then Jesus Christ will rule as King over this earth for 1,000 years. (Revelation 20:6) He will gradually take sin away from our minds and bodies. We will become perfect humans just as Adam and Eve were before they sinned. Then there will be no more sickness, old age, and death. Sick people will be cured, and old persons will become young again.-Job 33:25; Isaiah 33:24; Revelation 21:3, 4. 6. During Jesus' Thousand Year Reign, faithful humans will work to turn the whole earth into a paradise. (Luke 23:43) Also, millions of dead ones will be resurrected to human life on the earth. (Acts 24:15) If they do what God requires of them, they will continue to live on earth forever. If not, they will be destroyed forever.-John 5:28, 29; Revelation 20:11-15. 7. God's original purpose for the earth will thus succeed. So, everybody will not go to Heaven, there will be people still on the earth that will not die,have pain,sickness or anything else that goes along with sin. They will be made perfect just like Adam and Eve were. |

Most of the newer bibles make it hard to determine who they are talking about when they use the title Lord for both the Father and Son. The name Jehovah was in the Original Holy Scriptures over 7000 times. In most newer bibles the name Jehovah or YHWH is replaced with Lord. Before you disagree with me please research the information yourself. |

90 | wine and acohol | 1 Tim 5:23 | Aniset | 111467 | ||
Because of the trouble alcoholic beverages can cause, some have labeled all drinking as 'evil.' Others say or imply that all strong drink is condemned by God. But that is not a balanced view. And it simply is not the truth, for it is not God's view. Do you remember reading about the first miracle that Jesus Christ performed? It was the turning of water into wine. (John 2:1-11) How reasonable would it be for him to make wine and then forbid people to drink it? And if God disapproved of all drinking, would he tell us in his own Word that he "will certainly make for all the peoples . . . a banquet of well-oiled dishes, a banquet of wine kept on the dregs"? (Isa. 25:6) Then, too, the apostle Paul advised Timothy: "Do not drink water any longer, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent cases of sickness."-1 Tim. 5:23. So, of itself, drinking is not wrong. It is like many other things God created for man's enjoyment. They can be used for good or for bad. For instance, is eating food bad? No, but you can make it bad if you habitually overeat to the point of becoming a glutton. Is your hand bad? Of course not. It is a marvelous instrument for man's use. But you can make it bad if you use it to commit a crime, such as strangling someone with it. Yes, you can take things that are 'good' and make them 'bad' by the way you use them. It is the same with alcoholic beverages. It is not the drinking of alcoholic beverages that God's Word condemns. It is their excessive use: "Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men, nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor drunkards . . . will inherit God's kingdom."-1 Cor. 6:9, 10. |

93 | This is Now, what scripture can I use | 2 Timothy | Aniset | 107196 | ||
2Tim 3:1-5 3 But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. 6 For from these arise those men who slyly work their way into households and lead as their captives weak women loaded down with sins, led by various desires, 7 always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth. 2Tim 4:3-4 3 For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. 5 You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do [the] work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry. 2 Corinthians 4:4 4 among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through. Rev 12:9 9 So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; So because Satin is the God of this system of things it is very important that we remain no part of the world. John 17:16. 1John 1:5-65 And this is the message which we have heard from him and are announcing to YOU, that God is light and there is no darkness at all in union with him. 6 If we make the statement: "We are having a sharing with him," and yet we go on walking in the darkness, we are lying and are not practicing the truth. |

95 | How do we know when we are hearing God? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Aniset | 107190 | ||
Baba, The bible tells us at 2 Timothy 3 that 16 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work. God has said everything that we need to to know in order to live happy in his word the bible. There is no need to expect a voice to come out of heaven or into our heads. Many people would like to beleave that they are hearing Gods voice. But two things we need to realize is that, if God were going to talk to us personally then we wouldn't need the bible. Secondly if God were talking to us then why would everyone get a differant message. |

97 | once saved are we always saved? | Heb 6:4 | Aniset | 105528 | ||
Once a person is saved, is he always saved? Jude 5, RS: "I desire to remind you, though you were once for all fully informed, that he who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe." (Italics added.) Matt. 24:13, RS: "He who endures to the end will be saved." (So a person's final salvation is not determined at the moment that he begins to put faith in Jesus.) Phil. 2:12, RS: "As you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." (This was addressed to "the saints," or holy ones, at Philippi, as stated in Philippians 1:1. Paul urged them not to be overly confident but to realize that their final salvation was not yet assured.) Heb. 10:26, 27, RS: "If we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries." (Thus the Bible does not go along with the idea that no matter what sins a person may commit after he is "saved" he will not lose his salvation. It encourages faithfulness. See also Hebrews 6:4-6, where it is shown that even a person anointed with holy spirit can lose his hope of salvation.) |

99 | Origin of God? | Heb 11:6 | Aniset | 117200 | ||
Hi Kerland, Your questions are very good. I too had the same questions. To better understand, there are a few things that need to be considered. 1. Who is the true God, and what is his name? Romans 10:13, Ezekiel 39:6, John 17:26 2. What sort of body does he have? John4:24 3. What are his outstanding qualities? Deuteronome 32:4, Job 12:13, Isaiah 40:26, 1John4:8 4. How should we worship him? Exodus 20:5,5,Psalms 115:4-8, Isaiah 42:8 5. What two ways can we learn about God? Psalm 19:1-6, Romans 1:20, Amos 3:7, 2Timothy 3:16,17 God has no beginning and no end. He has always been and will always be. He has no parents or siblings. He is. This can be hard for us to comprehend because everything that we know of has a beginning or a time put on it. This is not the case with All Mighty God because he doesn't need time. He created time. Ps. 90:2: "Before the mountains themselves were born, or you proceeded to bring forth as with labor pains the earth and the productive land, even from time indefinite to time indefinite you are God." Is that reasonable? Our minds cannot fully comprehend it. But that is not a sound reason for rejecting it. Consider examples: (1) Time. No one can point to a certain moment as the beginning of time. And it is a fact that, even though our lives end, time does not. We do not reject the idea of time because there are aspects of it that we do not fully comprehend. Rather, we regulate our lives by it. (2) Space. Astronomers find no beginning or end to space. The farther they probe into the universe, the more there is. They do not reject what the evidence shows; many refer to space as being infinite. The same principle applies to the existence of God. |

100 | Sex before marriage | Heb 13:4 | Aniset | 104214 | ||
1 Thess. 4:3-8: "This is what God wills . . . that you abstain from fornication; that each one of you should know how to get possession of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in covetous sexual appetite such as also those nations have which do not know God; that no one go to the point of harming and encroach upon the rights of his brother in this matter, because Jehovah is one who exacts punishment for all these things, just as we told you beforehand and also gave you a thorough witness. For God called us, not with allowance for uncleanness, but in connection with sanctification. So, then, the man that shows disregard is disregarding, not man, but God, who puts his holy spirit in you." (The Greek word por·nei´a, translated "fornication," refers to sexual intercourse between unmarried persons, also to extramarital relations on the part of married persons.) Eph. 5:5: "No fornicator or unclean person or greedy person-which means being an idolater-has any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and of God." (This does not mean that anyone who in the past was a fornicator cannot enjoy the blessings of God's Kingdom, but he must cease that way of life in order to have God's approval. See 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.) |
