481 | pre-adamic/cain's wife | 1 Tim 2:15 | ebrain | 163503 | ||
As far as I am aware, the word of God gives no indication of this, read 1 Timothy 2:13-15, which seems to indicate that Eve had not had any children before the fall, in other words the human race was not at that time in existance,and had to be started, in order that Jesus could be born into it, and thereby provide salvation for both Adan and Eve. | ||||||

No I am not saying that, in fact I am supprised that you should ask such a question. | ||||||

Eve was allways a part of the human race, but is not herself the human race, she is mearly, with her husbands help, the mother thereof. I am sorry about any missunderstanding. Christian love. Edwin. |

484 | What does "itching ears" mean? | 2 Tim 4:3 | ebrain | 160211 | ||
Having a desire to hear only anything of a sensational. and spectacular nature, rather than sound teaching, which might include words of correction, or condemnation. They will want to hear only plesant, and aggreable things, ie the user friendly gospel. |

485 | Is Jesus a role model for us? | Hebrews | ebrain | 161984 | ||
Yes indeed He is a role model for you, I suggest you read the following verses. Phil 2:5-13, also John 1:18. 5:19,and 30. 7:16-17. 11:41b-42. 14:9-11, but especially v 10. Acts 2:22. See how He did it, and you will see how you also can do it. "Not My will, but Thine be done". Matt 11:27-30. is you will find also helpfull. Remember we are looking here at the true Humanity, and not the Deity of Jesus, He is showing us how man is intended to behave in respect of, and towards God. Please feel free to write to me direct, if you would like to do so, I can be contacted at pabrain@indent.co.uk May the Lord bless you abundantly, and keep you safe. Edwin Brain. |

486 | Isaih Chapter 42 Verse 8 is it Jesus? | Heb 1:6 | ebrain | 170677 | ||
The verse you quote must be read in context from v6 to v9, and then compare with Heb 1:5-9. Verse 5 says "You are my Son", then v 6 says "Let all the angels of God worship him". Isaiah 42:8 says "I will not give my glory to another". He is not giving His glory to another, He is giving it to Himself, ie, Jesus, and God are one. When reading these two passages of Scripture, how can any one doubt that Jesus is in fact God. |

487 | What's the full meaning of Hebrews 6:4-6 | Heb 6:6 | ebrain | 184848 | ||
Subject: Hebrews Ch 6 vs 4-6. First read v 9 before you read 4-6, you will see that the writer is quite sure that sure that what is refereed to in 4-6 has not been committed by them, but there was a fear that it might be. As the title of this letter indicates, this group of believers were all Jews who had accepted Jesus as the Messiah, and were as a result being so severely persecuted by the majority of Jews who did not convert, and that they were seriously considering returning back to established Judaism, until such times as things had died down, and then return back again to believing in Jesus as before. The writer is stating at 4-6, that this is an impossibility,,,, and that is all that is being said here. The word of God does not disagree with itself, and cannot be made to disagree with itself. Why do you suppose that the Lord put so many verses in Scripture to teach Once Saved Always Saved if it were not so?. You are left with a choice, either you believe that this one passage at Heb 6:4-6, indicates that you can loose your salvation, and therefore the 14 passages of Scripture I refereed you to must all be wrong, or you conclude that the 14 are correct, and there must be another explanation for the 1. Regarding Rev 3:21, and similar verses which refer to what is called "The perseverance of the saints", merely confirm that true Christians do exactly that, whereas those who are not the real thing don't. Real born again believers have no alternative, they cannot, and will not perish. If they could then God would be a liar, and the God I worship is not a liar. 1st Cor 10:13, is very helpful here. |

488 | can one lose their salvation | Heb 6:6 | ebrain | 184852 | ||
What follows may be of help, it was a post I sent to someone who maintained that it was possible to loose one's salvation. Subject: Once Saved Allways Saved. Col 3:3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Please tell me how it is possible to loose that which is hidden with Christ in God.? 2Ti 1:12 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day. Please explain why these words of Paul cannot possibly apply also, to all Christians?, are you saying that He is not able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day. Be very careful how you answer this question,, you could be calling God a liar. Jud 1:24 Now to Him who is able to keep you* from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, Are you saying that He is not able to keep me from stumbling, And not able to present me faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, Be very careful how you answer this question,, you could be calling God a liar. Psa 34:7 The angel* of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them I find the above Scripture verse to be both encouraging, and comforting, I hope you do also Phl 1:6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; Tell me is He able to do this, or not, is it dependant on me giving Him my permission? What about the following verses. Isa 46:9 Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, 'My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure, Am I, a mere human able to prevent God's will being done? Jhn 10:27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. Jhn 10:28 "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. Jhn 10:29 "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand. Jhn 10:30 "I and My Father are one." Eternal life is everlasting life, and as Jesus says above, they who have it "shall never perish". How then can you possibly say that they will perish, when Jesus says they will not? Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Rom 8:29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Rom 8:30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. Note that the word "glorified", is written in the past tense, because from the Divine view point in eternity, it has already happened, do not try to understand it, but take God at his word. A real genuine article born again Christian is eternally secure. God has said so, I believe Him, and that's good enough for me. Jhn 6:37 "All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. Jhn 6:38 "For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. Jhn 6:39 "This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. Jhn 6:40 "And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day." Please tell me how anyone can read the above four verses, and still maintain that, "Salvation can be lost"? The Fathers will is that Jesus should not lose any of those who come to Him. Is Jesus able to do His Fathers will, yes, or no? This is not a case of you not losing your salvation, but of Jesus not losing your salvation. You carn't , and He wont. To be continued. |

489 | can one lose their salvation | Heb 6:6 | ebrain | 184853 | ||
1Jo 5:11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 1Jo 5:12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 1Jo 5:13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. Note. see my comment on "Eternal life", above, also note Eternal life is what you have now if you are a real Christian, and not something you may get later on if you behave yourself properly. Jhn 17:2 "as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should* give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. Jhn 17:3 "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. See my comment on "Eternal life", above. 1Th 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Th 5:24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. Once more, is He able to do it, or not? does it depend on me, or on Him? Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword Rom 8:36 As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."* Rom 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, Rom 8:39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Would you agree than the expression "nor any other created thing," would include myself,? if so then it is impossible for me to be able to lose my salvation, and thereby "separate myself from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Once more, is He able to do it, or not? does it depend on me, or on Him? Edwin. pabrain, also known as ebrain. |

490 | Does the Bible tell us to go to Church? | Heb 10:25 | ebrain | 164060 | ||
I think you will find the above verse helpfull. It would appear from your question, that your daughter is not saved, which would explain why she has no desire to go to church, if however she does get saved, then in all probibility, she will have a strong desire to meet with other christians. The verse at Hebrews 10:25, is addressed to saved persons, and not the un-converted. |
||||||
491 | how can faith be defined. | Heb 11:6 | ebrain | 180623 | ||
I can think of no better verse to describe "Faith", as seen from God's point of view, than Heb 11:6, Hbr 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Note that the verse is in two parts, the first part is easy, even the devils believe, and tremble, see James 2:19. It is the second part that is the difficult bit. Exercising faith, is not "I hope it will happen", but "I know it will hapen". |

492 | Is the name Christian being ridiculed? | James 2:5 | ebrain | 161685 | ||
No they were blaspheming the name of God. The one by whom you were chosen, and whose name you now take see verse 5. Remember you are now called the children of God, and by adoption you have taken His name. As Scripture says you do not take His name in vain, in other words it will not be a mistake to take His name in the sense of becomming a member of His family. They were making fun of the name by which you were called, ie, God's name. |
||||||
493 | Is the name Christian being ridiculed? | James 2:5 | ebrain | 161688 | ||
My understanding also is that the word Christian was used by Jews, and other none Christians as a term of contempt to describe the followers of Jesus. Belivers in the early days of the Church called themselves "the way". |

494 | Is the Holy One Jesus of the Father? | 1 Pet 1:15 | ebrain | 160270 | ||
Both the Father, and Jesus are Holy, as is also the Holy Spirit, and it is He who called you. The Holy Spirit is the active one, the one who carries out the work of God. Read Genesis Ch 1 vs 1-2, and ask yourself why we are introduced to Him before anything happens?. |

495 | Jesus preached in hell? | 1 Pet 3:19 | ebrain | 187392 | ||
Hi Ginger G. Following up on Tim Moran's post, let me give you bellow the answer I gave to someone who asked a similar question. You said. "I heard someone preaching that Jesus went to hell. Please confirm that this is wrong" There are two aspects to this question, both of which I hope to deal with here. Firstly did He who was made sin for us, ( 2Cr 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.) also suffer for us in hell, or was His suffering on the cross sufficient, and secondly in respect of 1st Peter 3:18-20. Firstly. Jhn 19:30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. "It is finished", "I have completed the work you sent me to do", nothing further is required. English translations of the Hebrew do not always give the understanding that a Jew would have reading the same verses Read all five of the following versions, and see what sort of understanding they give you. Note the second part of a verse will help you to understand the first part of the verse. Psa 16:10 For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. (ESV) Psa 16:10 For you will not leave my soul among the dead* or allow your godly one* to rot in the grave. (NLT) Psa 16:10 because you will not abandon me to the grave,* nor will you let your Holy One* see decay.(NIV) Psa 16:10 For thou dost not give me up to Sheol, or let thy godly one see the Pit. (RSV) Psa 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption. (ASV) Now just think for a moment, what happens to an unconverted/unsaved person. they die, are put into a grave, where the body sees corruption, and later on they are cast into Hell. In respect of this verse, and using the NIV, I would remove the word "abandon", and in its place put "consign", and that's the only word I would change. Note RSV, uses the expression, "not give me up to", Note. "to Sheol", and not "in Sheol". Secondly. Subject: Christ walking through hell ? Question (short): Christ walking through hell Question (full): Does anyone know where the Bible says Christ walked through hell and that he forgave some people there. Someone asked me recently where this was and I can't find it. I know in the Apostles Creed we say he died and arose on the 3rd day - what was he doing during that time? Can anybody help me with this? Note: There is no Biblical reference that I am aware of that speaks of Christ walking through hell. Just before He died upon the cross Jesus said "it is finished", in other words "nothing further is required". There is a Scripture that some people think indicates this, ie, 1st Peter Ch 3 v 18-20, however, it refers to the Spirit of Christ in Noah proclaiming to the people in Noah's day, (who are now in prison) just what was going to happen to them if they did not repent. See also 2 Peter 2:4-5. I hope this is of some help. The Lord bless you. ebrain. Note. At 1st Peter 3:18, it should read "but made alive by the Spirit", and not in the Spirit. see New King James Version. |

496 | pls. explain john 14:21 | 2 Pet 1:4 | ebrain | 162065 | ||
What our Lord Jesus was speaking of was the soon to come indwelling of belivers by the Holy Spirit. In 2nd Peter 1:4. you are said to be "partakers of the Divine nature", whereas in Col 1:27 it is "Christ in you, the hope of glory". Another translation of John 14:21, is "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him". |

497 | Can a slave desire to be free? | 2 Pet 2:19 | ebrain | 164417 | ||
That depends on who you are a slave of, if of the devil, then yes, but if you are a slave of Jesus the Christ, then no. | ||||||
498 | Can a slave desire to be free? | 2 Pet 2:19 | ebrain | 164443 | ||
They will not express any desire to be free, because they think that they are free. As is the case with all verses of Scripture these must be read in their context, the final destiny of the persons spoken of in v 19, is found in v 17. These people are False Prophets, and False Teachers, they may think that they are the real thing, but clearly they are not, they will be told "I never knew you". What I do not understand is why you asked this question in the first place, please enlighten me. Yours because I am His. Edwin. |

499 | Are there any scriptures for the rapture | 2 Pet 3:10 | ebrain | 188167 | ||
Hi M.Royal. Thank you for your post. Have a look at 1 Thess 4:13-18, also 1 Cor 15:51-58, and John 14:1-2. What follows may also be of help. ebrain. Comments on the "Rapture", verses in 2 Thess Ch 2. Every thing that is written in Scripture, must be read in context, and the context of what Paul says in verse 7 of Ch 2, must be read in view of the whole of that Chapter, and also what he had to say in his first letter to them, especially Ch 4:13-18. My attention is first drawn to verse 1 of 2 Thess 2, and "our gathering together to Him", I believe these words relate directly to, 1 Thess Ch 4:13-18, in other words the "Rapture", or it you like, our departure.. In verse 3 the word "apostsay", is used, this word can mean "falling away from", or "departing from", and in other parts of Scripture, it is used to refer to a falling away from, or a departure from the truth, however, I am convinced that here in verse 3, it means the departure of believers from earth, especially as this is what I believe Paul has in mind as seen in verse 1. It could, as some have suggested, very well be the Holy Spirit who restrains.. When the church is taken, the Holy Spirit will still be on earth. No one is able to take Him out of the way, although He might very well remove His restraint.. Note for example what He does in verses 11-12. 2 Thess 2:11 For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, 2 Thess 2:12 in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness. Regarding, "He might very well remove His restraint", have a look at the verse bellow, and my comments thereon. 1 Cor 15:28 When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all. The Son will not, "be subjected", as no one, but no one is able to do that, however, He certainly is able to subject Himself. |

500 | Are there any scriptures for the rapture | 2 Pet 3:10 | ebrain | 188169 | ||
Hi M.Royal. Further to my last post on "Rapture", verses.. What follows is taken from another Bible Study web site, where I was answering someone who did not accept the "Pre-Tribulation", Rapture. Eccl 1:9 That which has been is that which will be, And that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun. In other words, the Lord's Judgments in the past are indicative of His future judgment.. For example the, "Great Tribulation". That is to say the, "Rapture", or that which is symbolic of the rapture always proceeds judgment. See the examples given bellow. The Flood. Gen 5:23 So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. Gen 5:24 And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. The destruction of Sodom. Gen 19:22 "Hurry, escape there. For I cannot do anything until you arrive there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. Joseph is a wonderful type of our lord Jesus, in Gen 45, we have an account of the second visit to Joseph by his brothers. When they came the first time, they did not recognize him, when they came the second time, they did recognize him, but only after he had revealed himself to them, however, he did not do this until after he had first sent his household servants away. When Jesus came the first time, His brothers, (the Jews) did not recognize Him, when He comes the second time, they will, but not until after He sends away His servants, raptures His bride, Gen 45:1 THEN Joseph could not restrain himself before all those who stood by him, and he cried out, "Make everyone go out from me!" So no one stood with him while Joseph made himself known to his brothers. Rahab, and all her family were saved, when Jericho was destroyed, see Joshua Chapter 2, and especially verse 9. Jos 2:9 and said to the men: "I know that the LORD has given you the land, that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of you. The Kenites departed (a type of the rapture) before the destruction of the Amalekites 1Sa 15:6 Then Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart, get down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them. For you showed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt." So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites. Elijah. 2Ki 2:11 Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. So he escaped the wrath of Jezebel. 1Ki 19:2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, "So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time." Two Events? If there is only one event, please tell me how it is it possible for every eye to see the thief in the night?. The wrath of God. Rom 5:9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 1Th 5:9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, If as some maintain, Christians are not "Raptured", before the Great Tribulation, and the Great Tribulation is the wrath of God, then why are Christians suffering the wrath of God, when the Scripture verses above, says they will not? 144,000 Jewish evangelists. Population: 6,525,170,264 (July 2006 est.) If the number of genuine article real born again Christians is a mere 1persent, of the total population, then there will be at least 65,000000, of them, which is a great many more than 144,000. now if as some maintain, Christians are not "Raptured", before the Tribulation, then please tell me why God raises up the "144,000 Jewish evangelists", when there are so many more Christians around to do the same job? ebrain. |
