1041 | Prerequisite-infallibility? | 1 Cor 12:27 | prayon | 12525 | ||
Dear Charis welcome home! Prophet: a person who communicates a divine message or an "oracle" (utterance) received from God. (Eerdmans Bible Dictionary); A persone who serves as a channel of communication between human and divine worlds (Harpers Bible Dictionary) If there are no more prophets then it must mean that God is not communicating with us any more???? Apostle: An official representative charged with a commission (Eerdmans); An apostle is "one who is sent out". An apostle is a personal messenger or envoy, commisioned to transmit the message or otherwise carry out the instructions of the commissioning agent. I guess if there are not any apostles any more then God is not sending anyone out to deliver his good news???????? In summary, I guess in certain ways we are all on our own??????? Something wrong with this picture? |

1042 | What is the law of liberty? | James 2:12 | prayon | 12007 | ||
As Christians we are saved by grace, not faith and not by keeping the old laws, but as Christians, we are required to obey Christ. God's grace does not cancel our duty to obey Him, it gives it a new basis. It is not longer an external set of rules but it a "law of liberty". | ||||||
1043 | No medical/spiritual need to circumcise? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 11819 | ||
I'm not saying yea or nay to circumsision. I just gave the medical points on both sides. I do know for a fact (being a surgical nurse) that it is extremely painful for a man to have it done later in life. | ||||||
1044 | No medical/spiritual need to circumcise? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 11761 | ||
Actually there can be medical reasons for circumcision if you want to acknowledge them. the procedure is said by some to promote better hygiene and prevent inflammation. Also circumcision has proven to reduce the risk of penile cancer. The uncircumsized male runs a much higher risk of this rare form of cancer than does the circumsised man. It is also done to preserve a man's body image that is consistant with his peers since circumcision is such a common practice in the United States. On the other hand there are surgical risks in the circumcision as with any other surgery. In addition an uncircumsised male is believed to experience much greater physical pleasure during sexual intercourse. An RN | ||||||
1045 | How much submitting must a woman do? | 1 Corinthians | prayon | 11758 | ||
Steve, If I have taken what you wrote wrong let me know. "Should she leave? Only after sound biblical advice." NO! She should leave period. Yes she should get sound biblical advice and counselling but she needs to leave at once. No woman should ever stay in an abuse situation. Her life as well as her childrens lives are inevitably in danger. Christ would never want a woman to stay where her life is threatened. In an abuse situation the cycle of abuse will always get worse. The man does not believe he is wrong, usually because that was the way he was raised. A man of this type is usually very controlling. He does not want her friends or family to know of the abuse and will do his best to isolate her. There is no "perception" about it being her fault because she does not want to do it his way. We are not talking about just a disgreement here. We are talking about women getting beaten, kicked, threatened with weapons, and pushed into walls or worse. A woman is NEVER deserving of physical or mental abuse. In addition, the children are usually witnesses to this and probably are suffering from violence inflicted on them also. The husband is in need of help. She can be an intergral part in his recovery and hopefully they can put their marriage back together but it will doubtfully happen when the wife is still in the home. A woman should submit to her husband but she should NEVER submit to his abuse. |

1046 | How much submitting must a woman do? | 1 Corinthians | prayon | 11641 | ||
I agree with both Debbie and There. If she is under physical abuse she should leave, even if the abuse is not bad - it will get worse. One problem that women run into in this situation is the apology afterwards. The man ususally always promises to never let it happen again, he loves her so much. He then treats her very well for a short time and she loves him so she wants to believe him. She accepts his apology and the whole cycle begins over again. Each cycle will get a little bit worse. As was said earlier she prpbably won't have a lot of friends because of the confidentuality issue mentioned but also because the husband won't have as much control and he needs to maintain firm control. It is very hard for a woman to walk away from someone she loves and feels truly needs her, especially if she is a Christian and honors her covenant with the man. However Christ would not want her to stay. One more thing I would add on emotional abuse. I agree with the statement Debbie made that if the woman is a Christian she has an advantage. However, in this type of situation her self confidence will be continually attacked and it is extremely hard to maintain a high opinion of oneself. Her having self confidence is what is in question in the relationship. The man does not want her to have any. He doesn't want her to think that she can live without him. I can testify to these things because I went through a abusive relationship and had to leave. It was very, very hard. If this woman or you would like you can contact me at prayon@spocom.com. I would be most happy to "talk" to her. prayon |

1047 | Why did Gideon test the Lord (vv 36-40)? | Judg 6:37 | prayon | 11633 | ||
Was Gideon really testing God, or was he simply asking God for more encouragement? Either way, though his motive was right (to obey God and defeat the enemy), his method was not that great. Gideon seems to know that his requests might displease God (6:39), and yet he still demanded 2 miracles (6:37,39) even after he saw fire from the rock (6:21). It is true to make good decisions we need facts. Gideon had the facts but he still hesitated, he wanted more proof. Demanding extra signs is an indicator of unbelief. Fear often keeps us from taking action when we should. Visible signs are unnecessary if they only confirm what we already know. We should ask for assurance if we are not sure about a matter, but if we know it to be God's will then we shouldn't need more assurance from Him. |

1048 | Mount Sinai or Zion? | Heb 12:22 | prayon | 11535 | ||
Many awesome things happened on Mt. Sinai. It was the mountain that the law was delivered to Moses and the covenant between God and Isreal was sealed and where God revealed his presence. It has also been called the Mountain of God, or Mount Horeb. The mountain played a significant role in the spiritual developement of Moses. The Lord's presence on this peak came to symbolize divine protection. Paul uses Mount Sinai to symbolize the Old Testament. Mount Zion (or Sion in the KJV) was another favorite abode of God. Psalm 2:6 refers to Zion as "my (God's) holy hill", the "holy habitation of the Most High (Ps. 46:4), "Mount Zion which He loves", is where God "built his sanctuary like the high heavens (Ps 78:68-69), and Psalm 48:1-2 calls it His Holy mountain, beautiful in elevation. It is also where David's tomb is located and where the upper room of the last supper took place. On numerous occations it is referred to as a metaphor for security and protection (Ps 125). The New Testament continues this imagery using the term "heavenly Jerusalem" in reference to the church (Heb 12:22),and the gospel message (1Pet 2:6). In the New Testament it represents the newness of true worship and the "new Jerusalem" where Christ's redeemed will live with Him. John also states in Rev 14:1 that he looked and saw Christ standing with the 144,000. I would choose to live on Mt Zion for the reasons mentioned above. prayon |

1049 | What does the blood of Abel speak? | Heb 12:24 | prayon | 11534 | ||
Abel's blood cried for revenge, it was the blood of sin. Christ's blood cried for forgiveness. It is the blood of sacrifice. The ultimate sacrifice that gave us the new covenant, that is Christ shed His blood for us and our sin's. | ||||||
1050 | When did His voice shake the earth? | Heb 12:26 | prayon | 11533 | ||
The only information I can find is He shook the earth at Sinai, however Solomon's temple was mentioned in the International Bible Commentary. According to the prophecy of Haggi (2:6) God now plans to shake the whole universe, so that only those things belonging to an unshakeable order may remain. | ||||||
1051 | When is it too late to repent? | Heb 12:17 | prayon | 11531 | ||
The words "place of repentance" mean zan opportunity to repair by repenting. He found no way to reverse repentance what he had done. The penalty could not be reversed in the nature of the case. This is clear from Issac's words in Gen 27:33. (from word studies in the New Testament). It is never too late to repent, it can be however to late to undo the consequences of not repenting earlier. prayon |

1053 | What is a generatonal curse? | Gal 1:9 | prayon | 11520 | ||
Kadadya, I would like to add this to the other replies: Spiritual warfare is something I to believe in and practice. John 17 is an entire chapter devoted to prayer. From it we learn that the world is a tremendous battleground where the forces under Satan's power and those under God's authority are at war. Satan and his forces are motivated buy bitter hatred for Christ and his forces. 2Corinthians 10:3 states "we do not wage war according to human standards". Here Christ is telling us that we are to wage war in the spiritual aspect. Verse 4 goes on to say that "the weapons of our warfare are not merely human, but they have a divine power to destroy strongholds (including generation curses). We destroy arguments and every proud obstacle raised up against the knowledge of God. Spiritual warfare is dangerous as you say, but, we must wage warfare against Satan not only because the bible tells us to but also to protect our friends and loved ones. If you would like the name of some good books on spiritual warfare e me and let me know I would be happy to suggest a few. prayon |

1057 | muslims - 144,000? | Revelation | prayon | 11412 | ||
Isa, if the free bible you are talking about is the one from the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints please do not send for it. These persons (or Mormons as they are also called) do not believe in the bible to be the only infallible word of God. They are as deceived as Muslims are. God to any K-Mart, WalMart, ect. and get a bible there. If you can not afford one I am sure any Christian Church will be happy to give you one. prayon | ||||||
