242 | When do you not submit to authority | Bible general Archive 3 | jlhetrick | 187950 | ||
Hello nobody, your somebody. Welcome to the forum :) Acts 5:27-29 (ESV) 27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, 28 saying, "We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man's blood upon us." 29 But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men.

243 | once saved always saved | Bible general Archive 3 | jlhetrick | 188184 | ||
Eric, The question that seems obvious to me in light of Scripture is, were you once saved? 1 Cor 1:9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. ESV 1 Thess 5:23-24 Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it. ESV God bless, Jeff |

Right, and I actually don't use it for original language stuff so I can't help there; soory. There is a download of the NASB package that includes (if I remember right- my computer at work doesn't have it) NASB update edition, NASB with Strongs numbers, NASB exhaustive concordance and I believe a thing or two more. You do have to pay for the package though but it is only twenty dollars (a small price in my opinion). I purchased it a couple of years ago and have been very pleased- no buyer's remorse. Good luck in your search. Jeff |

247 | Does the soul cease to exist at death? | Bible general Archive 3 | jlhetrick | 188586 | ||
Hello LeRoyce, A quick note on posting first. Once a question has been asked and a dialogue begins, chose "Note" for all other posts you make in that thread (even if your continuing to ask questions). If you choose to tag it as a "question" it will begin a new thread and be hard for others to follow. Regarding your question; "does the soul cease to exist at death" the answer is no. You reference Ecc 9 so let's look at it. "But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God..." Ecc 9:1 ESV The sovereignty of God is the focus here and the truth that all people die regardless of their deeds. While we can be sure that we will someday die physically, we cannot be sure what each day brings. Death is certain, but life is not. What will happen tomorrow only God knows. 8:14- "There is a vanity that takes place on earth..." Man cannot know God's ways. Things happen to the righteous that we would expect to happen to the wicked and to the wicked that we would expect to happen to the righteous. We can't know the reasons for these things because they are beyond our understanding. We can't see into the future and we don't know the details of God's plan. What we do know is that no matter how things play out here on earth, whether or not this one or that one is shown favor (as we perceive it in our thinking) each one will die (Heb 9:27). We cannot misinterpret this as meaning that the "soul" will die because Scripture will not allow for it. Heb 9:27 not only says that each person will die, but goes on to say "after that comes judgment". Verse 28 says Christ will appear to save those who "are eagerly waiting for him." So the wisdom of Solomon and the rest of Scripture is that our hope is not in this life; what we perceive as blessings; nor should we be discouraged when things aren't going our way. Our hope is knowing that if we belong to Christ, death holds no power over us (Heb 2:14) Hope this is helpful, Jeff |

250 | is it a sin to go outside ur race? | Bible general Archive 3 | jlhetrick | 189171 | ||
Hello leapordgirl13, Welcome, but please respond to sister Azure. Are you of appropriate age - 18 or older - to be participating on this forum? Regarding your question, there is no place in Scripture that prohibits interracial marriage. The matter is one of marrying within a "people" not a race. That is, a child of God is FORBIDEN to marry a nonbeliever. 2 Co 6:14-15 NASB 14 Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? There are times when a believer will ignore or disobey this command of God with the idea; "I will change him (or her) and lead him to Christ". Wrong; if he (or she) is to come to Christ it will be God who calls and does the leading. It should be said that it is a different situation if one is already married and then becomes a Christian while his or her spouse is not saved. That person should stay married; God hates divorce. 1 Co 7:13-16 NASB 13 And a woman who has an unbelieving husband and he consents to live with her, she must not send her husband away. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. 15 Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace. 16 For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife? Hope this is helpful, God bless, Jeff |

251 | husband initiate | Bible general Archive 3 | jlhetrick | 189561 | ||
Hello Lorinda and welcome to the forum! You might be more specific as to what you mean by "the husband initiate for the family". If I'm guessing right about your question you might refer to the following few verses and then consider them and study them within the context that they occur. Of course, this is only a few examples of what I believe you may be looking for. Genesis 3:16 1Corinthians 11:3 Ephesians 5:23 Hope this was helpful for a start. Jeff |

254 | Verses on coming as you are... | Bible general Archive 3 | jlhetrick | 189676 | ||
SusieCues, First off, welcome to SBF. It's good to see that your concerned for your friend's father, however, the truth of God's word that leads to salvation is more than a matter of "some verses". In my humble opinion, a very good response to ANYONE who says "I know what the Bible says..." is to ask them- OK, and what does that mean? Understanding the context and the intent of "what it says" is often what is missing. The passage regarding the "lukewarm" Laodiceans is found in Revelation chapter 3, begin at verse 14. It is by no means suggesting that we are to postpone coming to Christ until we have achieved a status more worthy than that of being lukewarm. Rather- being lukewarm is a condition in which one has no spiritual capacity to understand that he needs God. It is a state of being in one's own "self-sufficient" state. You might consider the "chief priests and elders" in Matthew 21: 23-25. To the question that Jesus asked (regarding the source of John's baptism) they replied "we do not know". Of course they knew- but to answer honestly would have defeated their goal. So they traded the truth for a lie in order to maintain their current state (which was a very self-sufficient state of sin). The thought of finally turning to God once I get my ducks in a row and am no longer "lukewarm" is actually an idea of saving oneself; in other words, salvation by works. This does not line up with the truth of Scripture. Eph 2:1-10 NASB95 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. God bless, Jeff |

255 | Need Bible verses for "trying new things | Bible general Archive 3 | jlhetrick | 190150 | ||
Dear tomjess, Welcome to the Forum! Your question is really too vague to respond to. Did you have something specific in mind? Jeff |

256 | Need Bible verses for "trying new things | Bible general Archive 3 | jlhetrick | 190154 | ||
OK Jess. I'm still not sure where your going with this so I'll offer some feedback based on how I'm understanding you. First, I'm not sure I would use time spent with a friend trying to accomplish his/her father's agenda. As for new hair cut, job etc. I don't find the bible teaching that. Considering a "new way of serving God" I'm not following that; sorry. We serve God according to how He calls us. Ours is to study His word and live a life of prayer and obedience. It's really not about trying something new; it's about obedience. Regarding God changing a stubborn heart, it's my belief that Scripture teaches that the only hope a stubborn heart has is that God will change it. Scripture is clear that left to his own desire, a man will never change his hardend heart on his own. Please refer to Romans chapter 3. Also refer to Psalm chapter 103. If you have the time (and a reference bible) expand your study from there. Hope this was helpful- I try to keep it short but others will reply as well. God bless, Jeff |

257 | Will we recognize loved ones in Heaven | Bible general Archive 3 | jlhetrick | 190497 | ||
Dear angelinwaiting- there is nothing in Scripture that suggests that we will not recognize our lovedones in Heaven. Furthermore, it is a possibility that we will recognize people who we never knew and never met here on earth. The bible doesn't necessarily teach this either but it is evident that Peter recognized the Lord after He was transfigured on the high mountain in addition to recognizing Moses and Elijah. (see Mark 9:1-8). Peter had never met Moses nor Elijah both of them having died long before Peter's own birth. It may be that Jesus introduced Moses and Elijah to Peter, James and John but we would have to add to what is written to make that fit (and we don't do that of course). Another point (and not meant to pick on your choice of screennames) is that when we die and are with the Lord we will not be angels. Hope this helps, Jeff |

258 | Saved by hearing a true Christian? | Bible general Archive 3 | jlhetrick | 190585 | ||
Hello LJ- welcome to the forum. Romans 10:13-15 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." 14 How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? 15 How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!" John 6:37-40 "All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. 38 "For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 "This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day. 40 "For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day." John 6:44-47 "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day. 45 "It is written in the prophets, 'AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me. 46 "Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. Here is what the Scriptures teach. Salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ and by no other means. Salvation is a gift from God and He alone calls a person to that salvation. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was made flesh when He was born of the virgin Mary. Though tempted He lived a perfectly sinless life on earth. He died on the corss as the penalty/payment for the sins of the world (that means yours and mine). He was placed in a tomb and three days later was raised again in the flesh and ascended again to the right hand of the Father. You are a sinner like every other human (Romans 3:23). As shown above there is no hope for salvation beyond that of Christ. You have heard the gospel. How do you respond? God bless, Jeff |

259 | On Prayer | Bible general Archive 3 | jlhetrick | 190605 | ||
"It is the highest activity of the human soul, and therefore it is at the same time the ultimate test of a man’s true spiritual condition. There is nothing that tells the truth about us as Christian people so much as our prayer life. . . . Ultimately, therefore, a man discovers the real condition of his spiritual life when he examines himself in private, when he is alone with God. . . . And have we not all known what it is to find that, somehow, we have less to say to God when we are alone than when we are in the presence of others? It should not be so; but it often is. So that it is when we have left the realm of activities and outward dealings with other people, and are alone with God, that we really know where we stand in a spiritual sense" (Martyn Lloyd-Jones quoted by John MacArthur Jr. (1995). Alone with God. | ||||||
260 | On Prayer | Bible general Archive 3 | jlhetrick | 190620 | ||
Thanks Azure- it wasn't a question, I wanted to post the quote for others to reflect on and possibly respond too. After coming across some things rather "accidently" a short while back, I came to realize that my relationship with God was lacking in the prayer department. So I've been studying the Scriptures and reading what I can on prayer. Last night I "accidently" stumbled across something else. John MacArthur Jr's. "Alone With God". Interesting! When I purchased my bible study software libraries I casually skimed over the list of included books to make sure they had what I wanted and needed, ignoring other volumes that I thought I would probably never open but their included in the package so hey. Then you click on a title and a gem opens up. It's amazing to reflect on the seemingly small things that God effects in our lives isn't it. By the way- is it possible to post a "note" that doesn't show up as a question without attaching it to something already posted? God bless sister, Jeff |
