321 | make fallen pastor compelled/leave Apt | Bible general Archive 4 | azurelaw | 235671 | ||
Dear Darcella8, Your case looks pretty complicated. Please note that this forum is for Bible study, thus is not an ideal place to deal with your issue. I think you'd better talk to your pastor, elders or mature Christians at your church for counselling. If your issue concerns improper handling of private properties (e.g. theft, illegal occupation), I would suggest you report to the police. I don't know how hard it would be for you (in the U.S.) to make him leave your home. Is he under protection by any rental law? It seems that you are only an unmarried couple living together. If I were you, I would just pack his stuff and leave them outside my house, call him and give him a deadline to pick it up, and immediately change all the door-locks and install intruder-alarm as well. Go, talk to your pastor or report to the police if needed. Azure |

Dear escar, Are you asking a question or making a note? By the way, you said :... this man was created a thousand years after the sixth day creation... Where in the Bible said that Adam (I think you mean Adam for "this man") was created a thousand year after the sixth day's creation? Thank you. Shalom Azure |

Dear Susan, Where in the bible does it say that God was lonely? Such a statement implies that God is lack of "something" which is not biblical. I think thenoel2 has given a fine answer to the question. Please avoid muddling the concept. Shalom Azure |

Dear EdB, Ah, that would be interesting for Sunday school students to fill in the blanks :-) By the way, do you think the list should be more accurate if it is summarized according to the original language (i.e. Hebrew and Greek) for I checked that some of the words are used more than once, but when it is in KJV translation, it appears only once perhaps. Shalom Azure |

327 | How many authors penned the Bible? | Bible general Archive 4 | azurelaw | 238037 | ||
Dear probbpilot, Your questions look like homework or quiz. However, please note that there is no definite answer to all your 3 questions. I would say, should there be any concrete answer, it is only a speculation that would not edify anyone. I would encourage you spend much of your time on reading the Bible for knowing God and His teachings instead. Shalom Azure |

332 | can someone explain the holy ghost? | Bible general Archive 3 | azurelaw | 173892 | ||
Dear Davids Daughter, I have seen Hank provide you information which I think you could relief your doubts with his help. However, I would like to share some of my opinions with you concerning the Holy Spirit. Just as what Hank has pointed out that the Holy Spirit is the 3rd Person in the Holy Trinity who bears His own wills and thoughts and of course decisions on how or when to interact with us. Meanwhile, I understand that some believers have focused on the gift of speaking in tongues and deemed it as the only proof of getting the Holy Spirit. However, as mentioned in the bible, there are in fact lots of gifts from the Holy Spirit not only restricting to speaking in tongues. But Paul said only 'Love' can fulfill the function of various gifts. I think the obvious gift of speaking in tongues appeared in Acts when the apostles first baptized by the Holy Spirit thus served a very special and needy fuction in that time as the apostles were going to face great tribulation and were forced to go to different places where they could preach the gospels with the gift of tongues. Therefore, I would view that whenever we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, there must be some functions or works to be performed by us (i.e. God uses us to fulfill His will). in Christ Azure |

333 | Why was I banned a day before mom died? | Bible general Archive 3 | azurelaw | 175019 | ||
Dear Vince, I feel so sad after I read your message. It is not because your charge against the forum, but I see an angry, sad and lost soul who has lost his/her (?) most loved one. I see several brothers/sisters here at this forum have been trying their best to response your questions or doubts according to the Bible. But please do understand that we, as human being, have our limitations especially with this communication media which we cannot have a face to face interaction. So if we failed you, please be assured that God will never fail you - "If WITH ALL YOUR HEART ye TRULY seek Me, ye shall ever SURELY find me. Thus said our God" I was wondering why do you keep on going to this forum since I read sense of offesiveness in most of your posts. I guess there must be something (or "Someone") guiding you here or to the edge of God's way. So, please keep on searching God (it is a matter of life and death) though you find this forum not satisfactory. P.S. I noticed that some of our brothers/sisters have asked you to let known yourself and it seems that you refused to do so. I would like to say that although no one here knows who you are, God knows you in every single detail. HE cares about you. Please read Psalm 139, this is one of my favourites. Love in Christ. Azure |

334 | Are we to give ALL to anyone wanting it? | Bible general Archive 3 | azurelaw | 175773 | ||
Dear Starfire, I would like to offer my humble answer to your question. I think Matt 5:40 and Luke 6:29 is not telling us to be a coward. In Matthew 5, Jesus began his teaching to his disciples on the Beatitudes and so on, and there were hints on what they would have faced in future as a follower of Jesus. In Luke 6:29, as you have read, Jesus talked about loving your enemy. Here Jesus had pushed the requirement to the extreme. Therefore, I would consider that Jesus was telling us to prepare our HEART first when we experience all kinds of evil done to us (since in reality, there is often unjustice everywhere). In doing so, we can refrain from anger and bitterness if we fail to claim back our rights or possession (in your case). Don't be upset, please read Rome 12:19. Don't give up hope, please read Luke 18:1-6. Lift up your heart and get strength, please read Prov 24:10, Isaiah 30:15, 40:29, 40:31, 41:10 and Ezek 34:16. Get strength in His peace, then you and your sister can be strong enough to face the difficulties laid before you. Hope this answers your question. God bless you. Azure |

335 | Can pastors retire? | Bible general Archive 3 | azurelaw | 177638 | ||
First of all, I would like to declare that I mean no offence to any retired pastors here (if any). My question is generated from my curiosity and my understanding or perseption as to the life-long commitment of a pastor. If I am wrong, kindly correct me with scritpural support. My question is: Can a pastor retire? or Can a pastor not retire? My understanding is that once a person is called to commit himself fully to serve Christ (here, of course I should not limit it to the pastor, instead, every Christian should commit his/her life fully and life-long to Christ) as a pastor, can he retire someday just like those people having their retirement in the society? We see so many examples in the Bible - Moses, Paul, Peter - who demonstrated a life-long pastoring a certain group of people until death, why do we have retired pastors nowadays? Thanks for any scriptural guidiances. God bless you all. Azure |

Dear Doc, Thanks for your information. I will try to see if I can get the book here in Hong Kong. God bless you. Azure |

337 | Can pastors retire? | Bible general Archive 3 | azurelaw | 177652 | ||
Hi Doc, Wow, I am amazed! You are speaking in tongues of my language (Cantonese)! I wonder if you are a Hong Kong citizen or your wife is. Did you live in Hong Kong before? OK, back to the subject: no, there is absolutely no restriction from the HK government on importing books or literature. The only limitation is the market demand here. Few weeks ago, I was trying to find the book "90 minutes in heaven" (also by John Piper? if I remember correctly) in a local book store - The Page One (so call sizable here, funny that they don't have a website as per my previous enquiry) which mainly sells English books. However, there wasn't a single copy exist. Therefore, I had to ask my friend in Canada to get me one when she comes back to HK next month. Nice talking to you, brother. God bless you and your family.

Dear Carol, Welcome to the forum and thanks for your input. After reading your post and the verses quoted, they have supported my belief (pretty much in line with Doc) that there is no retirement for pastors. Love in Christ Azure |

339 | Can pastors retire? | Bible general Archive 3 | azurelaw | 177703 | ||
Dear CDBJ, Thanks for your response. I think we are in accord with the view that true believers won't retire from serving God in all aspects of life, be he a layman or a pastor. Changing fields? I hardly say agree or not. I believe that God assigns different herds of sheep to different shepherds, examples I can think of are : the Israelite in Egypt to Moses, gentiles to Paul. Perhaps the retirment system employed in most churches today confuse us. The last thing I would say, we should give great honour and respect (as Paul has taught) to all submissive pastors (whether retired or not). God bless. Azure |

340 | Multi-Faith Rooms? | Bible general Archive 3 | azurelaw | 179008 | ||
Dear JJ, May I just add a bit of my comment in response to your situation. You may also consider how God had warned again and again the Israelite not to have any relation with the gentiles when they were fighting their way to the Promise Land in OT. God even commanded them to destroy everything (both living things and non-living things) in certain cities in order to keep the purity of the Israelite. How ironically is that now we are giving up what God has restored through us to the world as in your situation. In Christ. Azure |
