8201 | what does 2peter and jude have in common | Jude | EdB | 120902 | ||
grass_fire01 I agree with what the another poster has said and want to add that Jude and 2 Peter both contain strong cautions about our lack of knowledge and a lack of respect when dealing with spiritual beings. Jude 8-11 and 2 Peter 2:10-22. I see much of these cautions or warnings being ignored by many of the teachers of spiritual warfare. Today it seems sport to call Satan most any name we can think of, and acting out our anger with him. EdB |

8202 | What do we believe? | Jude 1:3 | EdB | 116981 | ||
Aixen7z4 I think that is easy to answer the Apostle’s Creed was constructed to answer that exact question. "I believe in God the Father Almighty; Maker of Heaven and Earth; and in Jesus Christ His only (begotten) Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose from the dead; He ascended into heaven; and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen." To bad much of Christianity rejects teaching the creeds. This one in particular was memorized by me as a child and served me well for well over 50 years. I used in to fortify my faith, help others, answer questions, even defend against man's philosophy and reject heresy. EdB |

colin I dion't know but I suspect you have one too many zeros. I think the actual number of denominations is closer to 3300. Which is still way too many, and leads one to think of chaos. Every man did what was right in his own eye Judge 17:6. EdB |

Aixen7z4 What percentage of the Christian church has ever read the entire Bible? My guess less than 10 percent. My favorite radio pastor J Vernon McGee once said that less than 65 percent of the church was saved. I started to think on that and the more I searched and the more people that understand those types of numbers I asked the lower percentage became. One Pastor referred me to the story of the sower where 25 percent of the seed fell on rocks sprouted wilted and died, 25 percent the birds ate, 25 percent fell in among the thorns and were choked and 25 percent produced a crop. He took that number. I have since asked this question of many pastors and the almost to a man their guess is 10 percent. If that number is right or 25 percent or even 65 percent what percent has then read the Bible? Look at this forum the junk that keeps getting posted. People simply do not love Jesus enough to read His Word. That is why evey wind of doctrine that Kalos is always fighting keeps showing up. Judges 17:6 In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes. I beleive this is truer to day in the church than it was in the days it was written. EdB |

Aixen7z4 In the past people didn't read the Bible because they couldn't they were illiterate. Today people don't read the Bible because they are lazy. In the past the problem was dealt with in a various ways and I think they need to be reinvestigated as I believe they will work today. People are hungry for Biblical truths look at the response to the movies the Passion today or Ten Commandments in past. However as most know these movies fail to provide true Biblical accounts. “Hollywood liberties” are taken to make them more exciting or believable. In the times past to teach people the gospel men and women wrote hymns that told gospel truths. Today we sing songs that make us feel better. we need to begin writing and singing songs once again that are doctrinally sound and are filled with Biblical truths. Another way is the one that brought us to this point. Creeds and doctrinal statements. Once again the church needs to make it a practice to recite the creeds and/or doctrinal statements that teach, reinforce and cause people to memorize by rote repetition scriptural truths. Lastly preaching needs to change from the just trying to draw large congregations through eloquent dissertations designed to entertain and impress and get back to preaching that teaches biblical truths. Lastly the church needs to call sin, sin. We have so marginalized sin in a effort not to offend we have actually opened the door to sin. We talk about relative truth and situational ethics but we offer no cure. People actually long for exacting standards but they want them only when they are universally applied to everyone. That is not to say they won’t rebel from time to time but they accept being drawn back in. EdB |

8206 | Scandal of the Catholic Priesthood | Jude 1:4 | EdB | 52704 | ||
I have to agree with Emmaus on this one. I know John MacArthurs strong stand against the Catholic church and I think I understand it, but this seems a little off. The Catholic church is not alone in this, there are many protestant churches and Christian day cares facing similar situations. I know in many churches pastoral failures are often covered up(adultery, embezzlement, pornography and such) although in every case of pedophilia that I know of has been reported and prosecuted. I most certainly agree with Reformer Joe that posting the whole thing was totally uncalled for. EdB |

8207 | Why was Moses body faught for? | Jude 1:9 | EdB | 64447 | ||
cyndejo Hi and welcome to the forum. We are not given this answer in the Bible. However I will offer an opinion. If Satan could have gotten Moses' body he probably would have made the Israelites aware of it's location. Knowing their love for Moses they probably would have retrieved the body and enshrined it. Over time I think they would have fallen into a worship of that body. It would have become an idol. Much like the shroud of Turin has become to some. Only this would have occurred on a much larger scale. Therefore God kept Satan away and the location of the burial a secret. EdB |

8208 | could this scripture be related? Zech3:1 | Jude 1:9 | EdB | 64496 | ||
Pastor Glenn I think what the Bible is showing us in Jude 1:9, Zech 3 and 2 Pet 2:10-14 are the ways we are to deal with Satan. I think what is being taught as "spiritual warfare" where people yell, rant and rave calling Satan names is a travesty. EdB |

8209 | could this scripture be related? Zech3:1 | Jude 1:9 | EdB | 64537 | ||
Pastor Glenn How true yet so many of our churches are filled with false teachings. Presented by men not called to the gospel but looking for a easy way to make a rich living. How awful to gain the world and lose the soul EdB |

8210 | Why did Satan want Moses bones? | Jude 1:9 | EdB | 85261 | ||
Scribe Moses' body might have been taken to heaven???? Satan would oppose the legality of this???? What, do you think there is a supreme court watching the conflict between God and Satan??/ Show me one place in the Bible where it says God has to do things according to legality. Or that God wanted to take Moses' body home. Your talking with authority about things that God has not revealed to us and frankly you know nothing about. We do not know why Satan wanted Moses body or why God didn't want Satan to have it. Best guess I have is because Satan knew Israel would worship Moses body and would have been easily lead in idolatry through it. It could also have been because Moses was special to God and God didn't want Satan to have anything to do with Moses' body. This I will say if God wanted Moses body and not see corruption God could have done it with same impunity God enjoyed when He took Enoch and Elijah. God does not have to do things legally, what God does establishes the standard. EdB |

8211 | why did Satan want Mose's dead body? | Jude 1:9 | EdB | 226239 | ||
Rebecca The simple answer is we just don't know because scripture never says. However if I was going to a take a guess I would say Satan wanted it so the Israelites could have found it and possibly embalmed it as a mummy and then enshrine it. In effect it would tend to deflect their worship from God onto the man Moses which even today is revered among the Jews. Much like the Shroud to Turin does now for some people. But again that is a guess since scripture is silent on the actual answer. |

8212 | STILL entertaining? | Revelation | EdB | 1497 | ||
I fail to understand why Jack Van Impe or Hal Lindsey's were even considered. Both have made predictions (prophecies??) that have failed miserably. Lindsey wrote a book called 1980 Count Down to Armageddon that called for the return of Christ 1988. Jack Van Impe jumped on the Y2K disaster and how it fit into Revelation and 'End Times'. Repeatedly he told how the world was going to collapse. He raised unfounded and I might add unrealized fears of many. He was cautioned about it by both computer experts and experts in 'End Times', yet continued. After that debacle, anyone who would listen to anything he said is looking to be mislead. Get away from the sensational look at books by Dr Stanley Horton pub. Gospel Publishing House, Dr. David Jeremiah pub. World publishers, Dr. John MacArthur pub Moody or Nelson. Another book you might want to look at is Revelation Four Views edited by Steve Gregg pub. Nelson. I agree with the one name given J. Vernon McGee, you can trust him. |

8213 | STILL entertaining? | Revelation | EdB | 1500 | ||
I'm not sure I have anything against Tim LaHaye, but I do question his series of books Left Behind. They paint a picture of excitment and adventure during a time when I think the world will be turned unside down. People will be living in despair and fear, begging to die. It will be a dog eat dog kind of existance. I also question how many non Jews will be saved. I think the real thrust of the 144,000 will to evangelize the Jews. If people will not accept Jesus now while it is easy to do, I question how many will when it will cost them their lives. | ||||||
8214 | Hi Tim | Revelation | EdB | 9999 | ||
Hi I'm going to jump in here. Well we know that there is going to be 144,000 servants of God that goes through some part of the tribulation. We also know there are others that do not take the mark of the beast and are killed. Most consider them as saved. Many feel the saints under the altar in Rev. 6:9 are people that were saved during the tribulation and lost their lives. The references 1 Thess 1:10 and 1 Thess 5:9 on the “wrath” you mentioned are explained like this, many feel God’s wrath begins at the mid point of the tribulation and at this point every believer has either been raptured or killed and no new ones come into being. Others feel the “us” of those verses mean people that were saved before the rapture. They view the necessity of going through the tribulation as the penalty for not accepting Jesus sooner. Personally I favor the former, God’s wrath doesn’t take place until mid trib and by that point any believer has either been raptured, killed or martyred. In any case I see no believer making it through the Tribulation. Is this what your asking? Ed |

8215 | Only 144,000 virgins in heaven? | Revelation | EdB | 10696 | ||
Unless Jehovah Witnesses have changed their teachings (again) that is exactly what they taught. Only the 144,000 that was in the church in 1874 were going to heaven the rest were going to stay here on a perfect earth and they are called 'Jonadabs'. They also beleived Jesus returned and has been reigning since 1914. | ||||||
8216 | computers... | Revelation | EdB | 12632 | ||
There I don't know where you got that piece of information but it is wrong. All computer are binary, and most if not all computers use hexdecimal connotation. Computers basically work as a mass number of switches they are on or a they are off hence they are binary. Hexdecimal is base 16 numbering system that has four binary positions xxxx called a byte (not a bit) the number "one" would be 0001, the number 15 or hex “F” would be 1111. To make 16 you would have 0001 0000 using two bytes. Notice I can make any number just by turning one position on or off, 1111 1111 would be 255 or hex 255. Our numbering system is decimal 1-9 and there is octal 1-8 but that is a whole another story. |

8217 | What does revelation say about towers | Revelation | EdB | 16044 | ||
nolesurfer9 I began to give you a silly answer using a made up formula and counting letters and all that junk. But the Holy Spirit checked me and pointed out the tragedy was too serious to give foolish answers. To answer your question NO. Nowhere in the Bible does it mention Twin Towers or make any reference to planes. However we are warned many times in the Bible that in the end times, the time leading up to Jesus’ return, we would see wars and rumors of wars, we would see men become lovers of themselves, people would become cold and callous and life would be thought little of. While everyone was surprised and outraged by this horrendous event, no Christian should be surprised by it’s nature since the Bible clearly tells us this and even worst heinous acts of man against man are to be expected. Truly our redemption draws nigh, for those that don't depend on Jesus for salvation this world is going to become a very scary place to be. |

8218 | Spirit of the Lord Go to white house | Revelation | EdB | 16295 | ||
We need to be reading our Bibles. Nothing is going to bring this world into one union for the Glory of God until Christ returns. Until then we can expect tragedies like this and worst. As the time of Christ’s return approaches this world is going to become a terrible place to live and if we are not firmly rooted in our faith in God we will be tossed and shaken. I will agree with your prayer asking that the Holy Spirit fill the White House and lead our President in the decisions he must make in the days ahead. Come quickly Lord Jesus! |

8220 | Spirit of the Lord Go to white house | Revelation | EdB | 16654 | ||
I believe this is exactly what the bible says it is in 2 Tim. 3:1-5 "But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. [2] For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, [3] unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, [4] treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, [5] holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these." Of this I am sure, each day we live is one day closer to the return of Jesus Christ! |
