1121 | The Gospel | 1 Cor 15:1 | prayon | 62903 | ||
Greetings, Could you rephrase the question? I am not sure what you are asking. prayon | ||||||
1122 | Which environment would be best? | 1 Cor 15:33 | prayon | 52961 | ||
Greetings sufficient grace, The bible tells us that the husband is the head of the household. As the head of the household and the father he is responsible for his daughters spiritual education. This I believe extends to all situations, including finding the best environment for her to be brought up in. So the basic question is whether she should be brought up in an immoral or moral environment. I don't believe the best choice is an immoral environment, which means that she should live with her father. Being brought up in the wrong environment is more harmful than for her to be raised by her mother. In addition, by the father raising the child, that does not mean that the child would not be seeing her mother. And if it truly is a lesbion situation the father could carefully teach the child the truth and still let the child have a good relation with the mother. Hope this helps. prayon | ||||||
1123 | Jesus - called the "last adam"? | 1 Cor 15:45 | prayon | 145399 | ||
Greetings, According to the MacArthur study bible throught the first adam wer received our natural bodies but through the last Adam we will receive our spiritual bodies in resurrection. Adam's body was the prototype of the natural, Christ's body of the resurrection. Adam was a type and shadow of Jesus. prayon | ||||||
1124 | what color will we all be heaven | 1 Cor 15:51 | prayon | 2325 | ||
1Cor 15:51-53 says that at the time of the rapture our earthly bodies will be changes to immortal bodies. It is also the general concensus from questions asked in the past (search: heaven) that we will be able to recognize our loved ones. I believe that we will all remain the color/race we are now but that the sin of predjudice will be gone and that people will not look at the color of your skin but the heart that lays beneath. | ||||||
1125 | Searching for the truth | 2 Corinthians | prayon | 75395 | ||
Greetings FytRobert, Grace is God doing for us what we can not do for ourselves, it is getting what you don't deserve. The definition I like the best is grace is unmerited favor. prayon | ||||||
1126 | help | 2 Cor 5:17 | prayon | 111973 | ||
Greetings Dave, I agree with what terrib said but I want to add a little more. Know that you will make mistakes, we all do. There is not one tht doesn't. The thing to remember is that God is a forgiving God and He knows where your heart is. So don't get down on yourself when you do. You are the child of a King! I agree that the most important thing is to find a bible believing church. Keep trying different churches until you get to the one that feels like home and then stay there. To keep your focus stay in the word. You need the word as much as your body needs food. You can not survive without it. When you run into a question then just ask it at the forum, we will be glad to help you understand what you read. I also agree that you need to find a bible that you can understand. For simplicity I love the God's Word translation. prayon prayon |

1127 | what if a christian is married to non-ch | 2 Cor 6:14 | prayon | 146960 | ||
Greetings aiello - The bible is very clear on that - 2 Cor 6:14: Don't become partners with those who reject God. How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That's not partnership; that's war. Is light best friends with dark? (Message Bible). If this does not answer your question please let me know. prayon |

1128 | what if a christian is married to non-ch | 2 Cor 6:14 | prayon | 146980 | ||
Greetings, When someone is married to an unbeliever God prefers that you stay in the marriage to be a "light" to the unbeliever - however God does not necessarily want us to remain in an abusive relationship either. We do not give council on the forum because the majority of the users do not have the training to council. What we recommend is that you go to your pastor or other certified Christian counselor. I am sorry that I could not be of more help to you. I will tell you this: REMEMBER! You are the child of a king! YOU are so important to Christ that He hung on a cross and died for you! Do not let the abusive names you are called enter into your mind, heart, or spirit for even a second. Rebuke them immediately! May God bless you with wisdom, strenght and courage. prayon |

1129 | Releases from tithing 10 per cent? | 2 Cor 9:7 | prayon | 21972 | ||
Greetings Johnny! Are you saying that we are not commanded in the NT to give 10 percent as tithes? Do you have a scripture where Jesus releases us from this commandment? prayon | ||||||

1131 | Where is the line? | 2 Cor 9:7 | prayon | 22093 | ||
Greetings, I agree with part of what you are saying but how do you know that we were released from the 10 percent? We were not released from all of the rules and regulation of the OT. For example the 10 commandments. Those were rules of the OT and we have definetly not been released from them. Where do you draw the line? prayon | ||||||
1132 | Releases from tithing 10 per cent? | 2 Cor 9:7 | prayon | 22143 | ||
Greetings Johnny. I believe we have been released from the law of Moses. But I have always been taught that we are to tithe 10 percent of our earnings although you have made some valid pooints I have never thought of. What scripture points to the fact that tithing is under the law of Moses? By the way I am a saved, sactified and filled with the Holy Ghost Christian. prayon | ||||||

1135 | can i pay my tithes to my mother? | 2 Cor 9:7 | prayon | 109147 | ||
Greetings Sonny and welcome to the forum, The answer to your question is no. Malachi 3:10 tells us to "Bring one-tenth of your income into the storehouse so that there may be food in my house. Test me in this way," says the LORD of Armies. "See if I won't open the windows of heaven for you and flood you with blessings. The storehouse refers to God's house. By not bringing your tithes to the storehouse you are being disobedient to God. We are required as Christians to take care of God's house and God's appointed pastors. This is done by tithes. When the tithes are not paid the priests / pastors are deprived and will have to give up doing God's work to find a job. The peoples religious will be hampered and some may suffer because of it. That certainly is not God's plan. In the NT there is not specific law of tithing, but this does not imply that we are to give less than was required of the Isrealites. Instead it is implied that we should give more because the grace of God to us is more fully revealed. While the tithe is not mentioned as such, proportionate giving is clearly taught in 1Cor 16:2: Every Sunday each of you should set aside some of your money and save it. Then money won't have to be collected when I come. Much is said about giving liberally and joyfully, and 2Cor 9:6-8 teaches that rewards in the day of Christ will commensurate with the degree of sacrificial giving now. YOu said that you do not presently attend church. I have no idea why but I will say that YOu need to find a church home. Jesus tells us that we need to fellowship with other believers. He also tells us that we are to keep striving for knowledge and growth. We grow by being taught which is what should happen in church. If you do not want to attend your previous church then ask God for direction to where He wants you to be. By not attending church somewhere you are robbing yourself of a multitude of blessings. Until you do find a church home I would say to ask God where to send your tithes. Is there a TV ministry that you watch regularly? prayon |

1136 | can i pay my tithes to my mother? | 2 Cor 9:7 | prayon | 109149 | ||
Renovate me, I ask you to type tithes into the quick search at the top right hand corner. YOu may realize that tithing is just as pertinent today as it was in the OT. As for what is a tithe for anymore, it has the same purpose as it did in the OT. It is to care for God's house and to provide for the pastor. When we do not tithe we are robbing God's appointed ones. In addition, when we don't tithe and support those appointed by God to be over us then they will have to go out into the workforce to support themselves. How much ministering will have to be pushed aside that they could of been doing if they could devote 100 percent of their time to doing God's work? prayon | ||||||

1138 | What is the meaning of 2 Cor 11:1-22 | 2 Cor 11:1 | prayon | 25077 | ||
Greetings Praise211! Chapter 11 is about both himself and the church. He is using himself as an example to warn the Corinthian church about false teachers. In this part of the chapter Paul is deeply concerned about the Corinthians, whom he loves and admires so much, and their being misled by the false prophets. He apologises twice for his boasting (ver. 1, 16) but feels he must do this in order to silence the false teachers (ver 11,13). Paul acknowledges that boasting is not of the Lord but a desperate situation called for desperate measures. His boasting was not for self-glorifacation, but to counter the false doctrine threatening the Corinthaian Church. The Corinthians had a pure and simple devotion to Christ that was being threatened by false teachers. He did not want them to loose their focus on Christ. The church was falling for smooth talkers that sounded good and seemed to make sense. But the false teachers ended up distorting the truth and preaching another Christ than the one in the bible. Paul bluntly and directly exposed the false teachers for what they were - emissaries of Satan. He warned the Corinthians that they may look good, and sound good but they were not of God. prayon |

1139 | Beware "Another" | 2 Cor 11:4 | prayon | 156462 | ||
Greetings Victor, I have to say that I too am a veteran member of this forum and neither a fundamentalist nor a Baptist either. The members of this forum have many different viewpoints many which others think are way off base. However, we are not here to judge. Christ says we are to love our brothers and sisters in the Lord. This includes having a humble, loving spirit when addressing others - which is what we try to encourage on this forum. You do come across a little strong and judgemental however this is probably not at all the way you desired to come across. You seem to have a lot of knowledge of the Word and I hope that you remain on the forum - it will be interesting to 'study' with you. Just please tone it down some so as not to offend others. In Christ's love, prayon |

1140 | Three different heavens in the Bible? | 2 Cor 12:2 | prayon | 4131 | ||
This Interpretation brings up RED FLAGS for me!!!! There is only one religious group that believes in 3 heavens - The Mormons. They believe that heaven is for everyone, but consists of 3 different and distinct levels: terestial for non believers, terrestial for religious non-Mormons and backslidden Mormons, and celestial for good LDS church members only, where they may even become Gods. In an explanation for that verse in my life application bible it states that Paul was continuing his foolish boasting as he called it, by telling about visions and revelations he had from the Lord. "I know a person" means that he was speaking about himself. He explained that he didn't know if he was taken in his body or his spirit, but he was in paradise ("the third heaven"). This incident can not be matched with any recorded event in Paul's life. The concept of the 3 heavens may of been deduced from the "heavens, even the highest heaven" mentioned in 1Kings 8:27, which may of been referring to God's great omnipresence, (See Ps 139:7-16 or Is 66:1). |
