681 | How to correct ungodly co-workers? | 1 Tim 1:9 | prayon | 59095 | ||
Greetings Timothy Paul, First, and foremost, above all, I would pray. Pray that God would put the words in your mouth to say to them. I would also pray that God would touch their hearts with such an impact that they would be convicted to watch the words that come out of their mouths. If I was in that position, and I have been, I would tell them in a way that they can see Christ's love through you that when they use God's name in vain that it is very offensive to you because they are speaking about someone you love very much (or words to that effect). Then ask them if they would please not use those words while you are around. And remember at all times to let them see the light of God shining forth in your life so that they will want what you have. prayon |

682 | what are the ten commandments? | Ex 20:2 | prayon | 58994 | ||
Greetings gregdy, What we call the 10 commandments are also called The Law, The Covenant, the Tables of Testimony or by the Jews the Ten Words and are a series of commands from God to the chosen people. It is impossible to overstate the importance of this divinely imparted moral code. They are the fundamental principles of Israelite religion. Taken in proper setting they are the covenant terms imposed by God upon His covenant partners. Jesus stated in the sermon on the Mount that He did not come too destroy the OT law but to fulfill it. The 2nd part of the Sermon on the Mount, (Matt 5:17-6:18), reveals a very close correspondence between these two revelations of God's will for His peole. He reminds us that God demands purity, love and devotion from the heart, as well as in outward conduct. The 10 commandments are as important today as they were in Moses day. Today many people revere the Bible and the 10 commandments but they do not read it. A good many can not even remember one of the commandments. It is no wonder that the world is in the shape it is. prayon |

683 | "women keep silent in the churches" | 1 Cor 14:34 | prayon | 58989 | ||
Greetings Ed, I have heard that information from a lot of different sources. Maybe it isn't true but then maybe it is. Of course it is just a moot point. prayon | ||||||

685 | "women keep silent in the churches" | 1 Cor 14:34 | prayon | 58830 | ||
From Scribes comment: "it seems that there is just as much here to say a man cannot speak either. For twice the pronoun "He" is told to keep silent in the church and only once it says a woman should keep silent." ...Your comments? In the Corithian church the men were seated at the front and the women were way in the back. There were no sound systems like they have today, so the apostle would speak, and the women would yell up to their husbands, "What did he say?" This was disrupting the meeting, so Paul instructed for the men to relay the information to the women at home. Galatians 3:28 makes it clear that "in Christ" there is neither male nor female. So this must mean then that some of the people "in Christ" are not allowed to teach others about Him when God tells us specifically in Joel 2:28 that in the end times He "will pour out His Spirit on ALL flesh; your sons and your daughters will prophecy.....Even on the male and female slaves in those days, will I pour out my spirit". So I must assume that some of those that God pours out His spirit on must remain quiet? Luke 2:36 speaks of a prophetess named Anna. One role of a prophet is to speak into the lives of other believers. It is doubtful that the apostle Paul would be saying to silence Anna, or other female believers who had something to contribute. (A previous contribution to the forum.) If it truly was fact that women were not supposed to preach and teach I wonder how many of our brothers and sisters would still be lost in sin.......God can and will use all people in all places. Your comments? prayon |

686 | what about | James 2:14 | prayon | 58775 | ||
Greetings dasev, Mark 16:17 states: "and these signs will follow those who believe: In my name they will cast our demons; THEY WILL SPEAK WITH NEW TONGUES; ....." The word never dies. It is still as strong today as it was then. prayon | ||||||
687 | why God? | Job 2:6 | prayon | 58770 | ||
Greetings lialia, God allows us to go through the wildernesses we go through to help us grow and mature. We need to continue to grow in our walk with the Lord so that we will learn what we need to know to do His work. God gives us the choice of how we want to deal with these wildernesses. It is very easy to take your focus off God and focus on self and the circumstances we are in. It takes strength to keep our eyes on Christ. When we become depressed and discouraged we are allowing Satan to have control over our emotions. God does not want this to happen. He wants us to keep our eyes on Him and allow Him to deal with the negative circumstances. Matt 7:9-11 asks us what father when his son asks for bread will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish will give him a serpent? How much more will your father in heaven give things to those who ask him? God wants His children to be happy, the above verses tell us this. Be strong and keep your eyes focused on Jesus. Do not allow Satan to gain control of any aspect of your life. Some thing to think about: If God did not give us hard times we would not know how to appreciate the good times. prayon |

688 | IsRapturenearfuture | Matt 24:3 | prayon | 58718 | ||
Greetings Walking, Christ tells us in Matthew 24:4-8 that in the end days many will come in His name, we will hear of wars and rumors of wars, nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, (this prophecy was fulfilled with WWI) and there will be famines, earthquakes, and pestilences. As the last day gets closer all of these things will escalate. Consider a woman in labor. As she gets closer to the birth the pains get closer together and much stronger. So it is now. All of the above mentioned events are getting worse and worse. Matt 24:9-13 tells us that persecution of Christians will rise. Christians today are being slaughtered because they refuse to deny Christ. There will also be preaching of false doctrine which will lead to moral laxity. People today are so absorbed in self and seeking material comfort they have become ignorant of God's word. If you look in James 5:1-5 it is a prophecy of things to come in the last days. All of these things have come to pass. Daniel 12:4 states that in the end days many will run to and fro and knowledge shall increase. Until the mid 19th century man could not travel faster than horseback. Today we can board a plane and travel 2000mph. If you look at a city from an airplane you will see freeways crowded with cars running to and fro. It has been estimated that from Noahs day until the year 1800 knowledge doubled once. We are told by scientists today the mans knowledge doubles every 10-15 years. In 2Thess 3:3 it states that there will be a falling away of many in the end days. How many are falling away in these days we are in, instead seeking self gratifacation and pleasure? How many go to church to be seen there instead of going to truly hear God's word? 1Tim 4:1-2 states that "in the latter times, some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and the doctrines of devils.." Today we are having a epidemic of seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. These include fortune tellers, witches, palm and tea leaf readers, psychics, occultists, sorcerers, and horoscopes and astrology. Who can deny the rise of any of these today? "In the last days perilous times will come; for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloveing, unforgiving, slanders without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haaughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of Godliness but denying the power" (2Tim 3:1-5) (the outward 'form' of Godliness can mean going to church, knowing scriptures, following Christian traditions, ect but on the inside are not Godly). If one is to believe the scriptures one has to know that we are in the last days. Be patient and hold tight to God my friend, for the rapture in indeed coming soon. prayon If you would like more info on any of the above please let me know. |

689 | Is the End Times here | Matt 24:3 | prayon | 58707 | ||
Greetings Walking, Only God knows when the rapture will be. No one knows whether it will be in the next 2 years, but yes we are in the end times. Please see my answer to your next question. prayon | ||||||
690 | Why should women be silent in churches? | 1 Cor 14:34 | prayon | 58518 | ||
Greetings JKeel, In the Corinthian culture, women were not allowed to confront men in public. Apparently some of the women who had become Christians thought that their Christian freedom gave them the right to question the men in public worship. This was causing division in the church. These verses are not meant to say that women should not allowed to participate in church, which some people try to say today. In chapters 12-14 it clearly states that women have spiritual gifts, and they are encouraged to use them in the body of Christ. prayon |

691 | Why is Matthew ended here? | Matt 28:20 | prayon | 58507 | ||
Greetings bumble, Each of the 4 gospels are different and focus on different aspects of Jesus Christ. Matthew presents Jesus as the Mighty King and emphasizes the power of Christ. He focuses on the teachings of Christ, which ended at the resurrection. Each gospel goes a little bit further. Mark focused on the service of Christ and ends at the Ascension. Luke emphasizes on the Sympathy of Christ portraying Him as the Ideal Son of Man. He ends at the coming of the Holy Spirit. John focuses on the divinity of Christ and ends at the return of Jesus to earth. Hope this helps. prayon | ||||||

693 | If any man destroys the temple | 1 Cor 3:16 | prayon | 55479 | ||
Greetings new creature, In my bible there is a footnote that says that these verses are a severe warning to any one who would try to interfere with or destroy the building of the church on the foundation of Christ. Since the body of Christ is the church possible it means that no one should try to defile the church body. prayon | ||||||
694 | Will the believer or non believer be go? | Matt 24:40 | prayon | 55478 | ||
Greetings Ken John, In 1Thes 4:16-17 Paul tells us that in a "with the sound of the trumpet...the dead shall rise first. Then we that are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together to meet the Lord in the air." When we look at Matt 24:31 tells us that those that rise will be His elect. The sound of the trumpet and the rapture of the saints will usher in the tribulation. In Matt 24:40-41 Jesus is telling us that Christ's 2nd coming will be swift and sudden. There will be no opportunity for afterthought, last minute repentance or bargaining. The believer will be taken in that "twinkling of an eye" the unsaved will be left to face the tribulation and the rule of the anti-christ. Hope this helps. agape, prayon |

695 | Plague of frogs upon Israel? | Ex 8:8 | prayon | 55283 | ||
Greetings angelface, There were about 80 major gods and godesses in Egypt, and these were clustered about the three natural forces of the Egyptian life, the Nile river, the land and the cloudless sky with its ceaseless sun. Each plague that God sent were sent against a god or goddess in this pattern. The plague of frogs was the second plague to hit the Egyptians and went against the gods of the Nile. One of the godesses of the Nile was Hekt and was always pictured with the head and often the body of a frog. Frogs, therefore, were sacred and could not be killed. The Egyptians were forced to loathe this slimy symbol of their depraved worship. prayon | ||||||
696 | scriptual suport for Ezekiel 14:14 | Ezek 14:14 | prayon | 55276 | ||
Greetings, I am not quite sure what you are looking for but I will give it a try. The 3 OT heros mentioned here exhiited power in intercession on behalf of others (Gen 16:18; Job 42:7-10; Dan 1,2) at strategic points in redemptive history, and even they could not deliver anyone but themselves if theey were praying earnestly. see also Jer 15:1. prayon |

697 | Who was the larges giant in the bible? | 1 Sam 17:4 | prayon | 54749 | ||
Greetings, Although the bible speaks of the ancient inhabitants of Caanan were represented as giants the only measurement I could find was that of Goliath, who was 6 cubits and a span or about 9ft 9in tall. prayon |

698 | "Two witnesses." When? Who? | Rev 11:3 | prayon | 54384 | ||
Greetings, Tribulation: a time of trouble. It is regarded as a distinct period of unprecedented suffering, catastrophe, and persecution that will occur immediately preceding the eschatological deliverance of God and the final coming of Christ. (Eerdmans Bible Dictionary) I want to do some more research on your questions to make sure I answer you with scriptual references so I will answer them later. I am curious though, where are you trying to go with this thread? What was your motive for starting it? prayon |

699 | 1 samual 16 | 1 Sam 16:14 | prayon | 54002 | ||
Greetings kaatje, The verse should probably be understood to mean that God sovereignly appointed a demon. one of Satan's emissaries (Matt 12:24), to torment Saul as judgement for his disobedience, (Acts 5:1-3; 1Cor: 5:1-7; 1Tim 1:18-20). The verse points out that God is sovereign over all spiritual powers - even Satan and his assistants. prayon |

Greetings, According to the MacArthur Study Bible His tears were not generated out of mourning since He was to raise Lazarus, but out of grief for a fallen world entangled in sin-caused sorrow and death. prayon | ||||||
