241 | Dinosaurs | OT general | glory777 | 14952 | ||
Elijah- Dinosaurs could be walking the earth today. There are remote parts of the jungle in the Congo where sighting of dinosaur like creatures have been sighted, according to the Revised and Expanded Answers book. There are many legends of dragons in midieval history and in Chinese folklore. These could very well have been dinosaurs. For maore information, go to www.ICR.org. I think they may have some more answers for you. Debbie |

242 | Order of events at the 2nd Coming? | 1 Thess 4:17 | glory777 | 14945 | ||
Now, I am going to ask a serious question! The falling away - is this true Christians or those who go to church but don't have a relationship with the Lord Jesus? Because otherwise we are talking about once saved always saved, etc and are going to get into another impossible discussion. My personal take on the immediate end times event is the believers at that time will be taken away, but there is enough knowledge that many who knew but didn't really understand what being saved was all about will find out real fast and then will make a decision. It almost sounds as though only the Jews will have a chance to decide for Christ during the Tribulaion. There are so many people who are church goers that know a little, have heard a little, that if the rapture happens when they see it, they will know that what they had heard had truth to it and will decide for Christ. Or am I reading to much of the "Left Behind" books? Shame on you Nolan! Debbie |

243 | Order of events at the 2nd Coming? | 1 Thess 4:17 | glory777 | 14940 | ||
OK all you guys- First of all, I don't think I want to rule. I love horses and I already have put in my application to clean the stables (Jesus will be riding a white horse, right?). Is the horse thing literal or not? If it is, you guys had better learn how to ride, because I think scripture mentions we will all be riding with Him when He returns to show Himself as Lord of Lords and King of Kings and takes over rule of the earth. Love you all- Debbie |

244 | state law vs bilical decipline | Prov 22:6 | glory777 | 14797 | ||
Proverbs tell us to "Train up a child in the way he should go". Scripture also teaches us not to exasperate our children. There are many more scripture dealing with the raising of children, and I think if you follow the true biblical teachings, you will not get into the area of abuse. Punishment is to be used in relation to the the deed, but never done in anger. The age of the child has to be taken into account, also. James Dobson has written some very good books on the rearing of children. I would advise reading some of these. Debbie |

245 | Will it be our generation? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 14794 | ||
CDBJ- This isn't going to help you much, and I do know that if anyone can give you a date of Christ's return, they are not readers of the bible. I heard (or read) that Christians in other countries that are being persecuted for their faith, believe that they are in the beginning of the tribulation time. We who are in the "free" nations do not even have a clue. Yet the signs are everywhere that things are winding down faster and faster. How much longer will they go? How much longer will our Lord have patience until He says "Enough is Enough!" All the wondering and debate is not going to change a thing. He will start things when He sees fit. We just have to be ready. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong about the time, what matters is that He will be true to His word and will give us strength. When it happens, we will know, and not all the "I was right" or "I was wrong" is going to make a pinch of difference. But it is fasciniating speculating, isn't it? Peace in Christ- Debbie |

246 | Greek scholars, please help. | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 14792 | ||
Everyone sure seems to have made it sound logical that we will go through seeing some of the wonders that God will perform in the first 3 and a half years. All though I try to keep my eyes open to what the Lord is doing in miraculous ways (even the very tiny ones) I don't know if I would have the courage to see these - although the Hebrews were probably frightened, too, and He gave them strength. So, I hope that there was a slight mistake in translation and we are definitely "Pre-Trib"! Thank you all. God's special blessings on you. Debbie |

247 | Unbelieving or lukewarm? | NT general Archive 1 | glory777 | 14681 | ||
ren333 I am not so sure about your reference to Rev. 3:16. I think that a person can be born again but after that first love they go into neutral and just kind of sit and mold. There is still some life, but you realy have to search to find it. I think that kind of attitude makes the Lord nauseous, and although they are still His child, He is frustrated and upset by them. This is just my opinion, but it does spur me on when I think that my complacency just might cause my God to have that feeling toward me. Passion in Christ- Debbie |

248 | For Joe. | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 14678 | ||
Joe- I haven't been a life long believer, I am still learning. But I think if you have a real desire to totally know the Lord God who created all things and is impossible for us to understand all His ways, you would be a fool not to wonder about some things. The wondering brings you to answers sometimes, or just to more faith for those things that don't have an answer. But if you don't question, and dig (as the Bereans did and were commended for it) and wonder you will never learn. You also can become very stiff in your convictions to the point where you loose any contact with others because they don't measure up to your standard and they feel they can never measure up to yours. I know someone who is like that, and although he knows a lot about the bible, because of his impatience with those who are not as determined as he is, has turned a lot of people away. I am sorry, but the thought sometimes does cross my mind that everything has to have a beginning, due to my human nature. Then I have to remind myself that I have to just trust and believe. It is hard, sometimes, when you want to KNOW and understand that there are things that you just can't. But it took me a while in my walk to see this. Have compassion on those who are starting their walk or may just be at a questioning stage. Peace in Christ Debbie |

249 | How can Christ return be imminent? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 14674 | ||
You still haven't convinced me that pre-trib is not the valid time of the rapture of the saints. What is the purpose of the tribulation? Isn't it similar to what the Lord did to Pharaoh? The plagues didn't affect the Hebrews (His children). They were spared. So I believe that we will be spared. Rev. 3:10 also seems to promote that believers will be taken before the tribulation begins. Besides, I am not a very brave person:) Debbie |

250 | so in other words it's not wrong | Rom 8:38 | glory777 | 14371 | ||
12besaved- Yes, it does say you should not sleep with anyone before marriage! Sex before marriage is called fornication - not nice words like sleeping with someone. No where does it condone it, and everywhere you see it in the bible, you see how much the Lord hates it. In the old testament, people who committed fornication were stoned. God inteneded for for two people who loved each other to marry, live under the blessing of God in the way He intended it. Then sex is to be celebrated as a gift. The rules God set for us are for our own good. They will give you peace and joy and comfort. If you go against the guidelines of God for our lives, it will bring pain, unhappiness, even sickness and death (as we see with the AIDS epidemic - not that it is a judgement of God, but because people turn away from the "one man-one woman" guidelines, they have brought pain and sickness not only on themselves, but to others). Yes, a person can be saved and sin, as in sleeping with someone outside of marriage, but if they intentionally do that, knowing it is against what God wants for them, they are not only committing fornication, they are also rebelling against God. So we not only have one sin, but two. My question would be, if one really loves God and has given their hearts to Jesus, do they want to knowingly commit the same sin that got Satan cast out of Heaven? The key word is knowingly. If you are having the question, you now have the answer. You choose God, or choose to rebel against His authority. Choose God, He will not fail you and will give you strength. If it is a situation you are in, confess it as sin, and get out of it. Look up 1 Cor. 7:2; Acts 15:20; 1 Cor 6:13,18 |

252 | Does this mean if someone accept Christ | Matt 25:46 | glory777 | 13877 | ||
Evette- Who, as a true believer of Christ, when seeing someone suffer and is able to give, doesn't? I think believing in Christ and His teachings mandates us to give to those less fortunate, and if you truly love the Lord, you will want to act as He would, which means giving. Those who can turn away would cause me to question the reliability of their born-again experience, thus their salvation. Hope this helps. Debbie |

253 | God has the right, but why do it? | Deut 29:29 | glory777 | 13876 | ||
I may be a little simple, I hope as a child, but there are some things in the Word and in creation I don't understand and I won't be able to understand until I am able to ask the Lord myself. I think Isaiah 55:8-9 pretty well sums it up. Also, God made the universe and all that is in it. He has the right to do anything with it He chooses. We have the right to either choose Him and trust, or not. Other than that, we have no rights. And those who choose to trust have all the rights we need. In His grace Debbie |

254 | Divine Healing, True or False? | Matthew | glory777 | 13874 | ||
Kimberly- Got on this late, but I do believe God is a God who heals - if He wills it. It has to be left in His hands. Pray for healing, have others pray for your healing and, if your church believes in annointing with oil (James 5:14), as mine does, be annointed with oil. Then leave it in God's hands. Even Paul was not healed and Timothy suffered with stomach problems. I think their faith was stronger than any of ours, plus they had first hand experience from the ones who saw and knew Jesus. If giving meant you got back more money, why wasn't Paul rich? I'm sure he tithed and gave more than his tithe, yet he worked as a tent maker to make ends meet. I believe totally in the healing power of my God, I believe He can do healings miraculously, through doctors and medicine, or just through the way He made our bodies to heal. I also believe that sometimes He chooses not to (as I sit here with bronchitis!) but if we totally trust Him, He will give us the strength to go through whatever that we can give Him the glory. I believe that giving to the Lord (and I personally believe in tithing - but that has been discussed before and I won't go into that again - look it up on another thread), and giving more than what is required will result in being blessed by the Lord, if you give because you feel the Holy Spirit leading you to give and it is a joy - not because you are expecting to get benefits from it. It may not be a financial blessing, but you will be blessed, in the area that you need (not want). I am concerned about some of the preachers on TV misleading the viewers, also. What happens when people give and give and don't get back what they expect? Do they get a barrel of guilt or do they give up on God? I've seen this happen and I do believe this is the work of the enemy. Don't believe everything you hear. Use your own common sense, too, and don't just read what they tell you. Dig for yourself. God gave us a brain and scripture even commends the Bereans for searching out the scriptures. They didn't even take the apostles word for anything - they looked at it for themselves. God's peace.

Sam- What still blows my mind is the fact that, even knowing the Judas would betray Him, He still washed his feet along with the rest of the 12. Even after that, Judas turned on Him. Could we wash the feet of our enemies? What an example He gives us. Debbie |

258 | Christianity vs New Age! | John 14:6 | glory777 | 13325 | ||
GiVogue- If they don't believe that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, they are not Christian. That is the bottom line. Do they believe that the Bible is the Word of God and is truth? These are questions that will put them either into the Christian camp or the non-Christian camp. Read your Bible. That is the best defense. You can not defend something if you know nothing about it. And surround yourself with believers. Until you are knowledgable about the things of God, the enemy will try to sway you with what the "new agers" say. I pray that God will give you an unquenchable desire to know HIs Truth. Debbie |

259 | I'd like know about Jabes | 1 Chronicles | glory777 | 13323 | ||
angel-girl- I, too, have the book. The only thing I have against it is that it could just become a ritualized prayer. It is not a good luck saying, or something to say "Hey God, I said it for 30 days, now bless me". I think some people might go off on this tangent. I do agree with Hank, it is an example of how people can rise above what they were born into through prayer and God's blessings. The one thing that stood out to me, and could be compared to today, is that if he was the only one mentioned in that way, what were all the others doing? Christ's peace to you Debbie |
