You forgot one. Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons? retxar |

302 | what is baptism | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 26719 | ||
kin, No one has answered your question? You have got to be kidding! Your question has been answered repeatedly. Here’s something else. Romans chapter 4. Please look back and find solid scripture based answers to all the questions raised in opposition to your “water saves” doctrine (questions you have consistently avoided) before asking us to continue repeating ourselves. Jesus saves by grace! retxar |

303 | Is the image in 1Sam. 28 really Samuel? | 1 Samuel | retxar | 26361 | ||
I don't think this was Samuel from the dead at all, but a demon acting as Samuel. Saul had already inquired of the LORD, and the LORD did not answer him (1Sa_28:6). If God refused to answer thru the Holy Spirit, I don’t think He would answer thru demonic means. Look at 1Sa_28:19. The demon (or Samuel) says “tomorrow you and your sons will be with me.” Did Saul join Samuel, or demons? I really don’t know for sure, but from the indication of scripture I do not think Saul joined Samuel. retxar |

304 | Can women be preachers? 1Cor.11:4,5 | 1 Cor 14:34 | retxar | 26356 | ||
The prophecy of the one prophesying is what is being judged in 1Cor 14:29. The context is what demands a different interpretation than 1Cor 2:15, not the different Greek word used for “judge”. The context in 1Cor 14:29 is talking about the judging by those in an authoritative role in a church service. I personally believe, according to scripture (1Tim 2:12), this would exclude women. Either way, this would not, and could not include anybody and everybody, agreed? The context of 1Cor 2:15 is speaking to each and every Christian. With the help of the Holy Spirit, ALL Christians are to be spiritually discerning. 1Co 2:14 But the natural MAN (not men) does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to HIM (not them) ; nor can HE (not they) know them, because they (the things of God) are spiritually discerned (not naturally discerned). 1Co 2:15 But HE (not they) who is spiritual (walks in the Spirit) judges all things, yet HE (not they) HIMSELF (not themselves) is rightly judged by no one. 1Co 2:16 For "who has known the mind of the LORD that HE (not they) may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ. The Holy Spirit speaks to ALL believers who walk after the Spirit and not the flesh (Rom 8:1). But not all believers (male or female) are called to be in an authoritative role in the church. Please re-read and understand my originally post you responded to. I was only giving another possible meaning for 1Cor 14:34. I am not convinced that Paul was speaking of women judging prophesy here. I was only presenting a possible interpretation that may explain a verse that troubles many. retxar |

305 | Can women be preachers? 1Cor.11:4,5 | 1 Cor 14:34 | retxar | 26225 | ||
Maybe I said that wrong before. It would upset the male leadership in a church because it would require the women to exercise authority over the men. The meaning of "judge" in 1Cor 2:15 is to discern and scrutinize for one's self. The meaning of "judge" here is to decide what the church will allow, accept, and receive. Big difference. retxar |

307 | coals and antrax? | Rom 12:20 | retxar | 26134 | ||
That's why I asked the question. I did not know. You are saying no connection, right? Is that what "so how is this positive" means? I show my igornance real fast when I start asking questions about Greek! Sorry, bro. Thanks, retxar |

308 | Can women be preachers? 1Cor.11:4,5 | 1 Cor 14:34 | retxar | 26128 | ||
Paul may have still been addressing judging of the prophets (1Cor 14:29-33), and stating that the women were to remain silent concerning this, as this would upset the male leadership role in the church. Just a thought. retxar |
||||||
309 | coals and antrax? | Rom 12:20 | retxar | 26123 | ||
Just a curiosity question. The greek word for "coals" here in Rom 12:20 is "anthrax". Does that have any connection with the anthrax we hear about these days. Thanks, retxar |

311 | Why was Jesus named “Jesus”? | Is 7:14 | retxar | 25943 | ||
Or you can skip reading the italics in both and John 8:24 would read that Jesus simply said He was "I AM", which is what I think He meant and said. Jesus is the great I AM! retxar |

312 | Have you tried e-Sword? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 25844 | ||
I own Logos and Bible Explorer (epiphanysoftware.com) that I paid major bucks for. I would rate BE superior to Logos, but would trade neither for e-Sword, even tho it is free (donation suggested). I have used e-Sword since version 3 and now use it almost exclusively. It is undated about monthly and has many resources available. The feature I like best is being able to enter my own commentary (or any I find from any text source) and have it linked to the corresponding scripture. In addition to the available commentaries, I took 3 commentaries I liked in Bible Explorer and put them in e-Sword. They are all linked to the corresponding scripture and function like they are part of the program, and are actually more useful than they were in BE. I also have David Guzik’s commentaries (calvarychapel.com/simivalley) and even useful notes I have got from this forum, all linked to the corresponding scripture. Any recourse I find I want to use, I can put it into e-Sword and make it function as part of the program. Check it out (E-sword.net). 2Ti 2:15a Study to shew thyself approved unto God God Bless, retxar |

314 | Matthew Chap.4 verse 2 | Matt 6:18 | retxar | 25774 | ||
Mat 6:16-18 gives scriptural guidelines for fasting. I think that not partaking of the communion for fasting purposes would risk bringing attention to your fast. On the other hand, if the intent was to “sneak a snack”, I don't think partaking would be a wise choice, as that is not the intent of communion. I think I would partake, but it really would be an individual choice, as only God and you know your heart. I did a week fast once, with a commitment to only eat food offered to me, but to eat it whether I liked it or not. Some days I ate, some days I did not. I was blessed from the fast and also from the food God supplied from unexpected sources when things got really tough. retxar |

315 | Speaking in tongues? | 1 Corinthians | retxar | 25762 | ||
Grace and Peace Bob Please understand what I was saying. I’m not saying tongues cannot be an earthly language, I’m just saying there is plenty of scriptural evidence that indicate it is not a known language, or at least not always (1Co 13:1. 1Co 14:2,1Co 14:14-19). If I go by the Strongs definition, as you have presented, I would agree that defines tongues as a known language, but I can’t see any scripture that supports that view. Also, how could the gift of interpretation be a Spiritual gift if the ones interpreting were interpreting a known language? That would seem to be a natural gift obtained from study, not a supernatural gift given by the Holy Spirit. The problem most people have with tongues is misunderstanding (on both sides). The gift of tongues is unlike other Spiritual gifts in the fact that it is a gift to strengthen the individual believer instead of edifying the church. Some try to make this out to be wrong. The opposition usually comes from other believers who try to discredit them, along with God’s gift. If the gift is used outside scriptural guidelines, it creates strife fueled by a have / have-not attitude. I won’t defend speaking in tongues as a requirement for evidence of being filled with the Holy Spirit. I will say that it does happen, and is supported by scriptural example (Acts 2:4, 10:46, 19:6), tho never presented as a requirement. I want all the gifts God wants for me to have! I praise Jesus He gave the gift of tongues! I would pray that all believers would seek all the Spiritual gifts God has for them, and not cull any, but whoever gets a “look what God gave me and not you” attitude, is sinning. 1Cor 12:11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. Thanks bro, retxar |

316 | how do you accont for the word [however] | 1 Cor 6:11 | retxar | 25703 | ||
Greetings sowvic, I don't see the word "however" in my bible. "However", I don't think it makes any difference either way. I think what I have already answered deserves your consideration. What are you driving at? Maybe you need to start another thread, as this is off subject from the original question and is really getting strung out. Thanks, retxar |

317 | restoration of sodom? | 1 Cor 6:11 | retxar | 25669 | ||
No. It says "When I bring back their captives". See my other post. retxar |

318 | ezk 16-53 | 1 Cor 6:11 | retxar | 25646 | ||
I don't think it does. I think it is speaking of their return from exile from Babylon. See my response under your other post. Another possible meaning: This could mean the opposite of restoration. Jeresulem's thinking was that Sodom and Samaria could never be restored. I think this would speak to them of the severity of God's judgement on them. "I will restore you when I restore your sisters". I.E. You will be restored when pigs fly! retxar |

319 | in ezekiel16-53 what does this mean ? | 1 Cor 6:11 | retxar | 25643 | ||
Ezekiel 16 is speaking of the judgement to come for Jerusalem’s sins. God was comparing there sins to those of Sodom and Samaria. They had little respect for Sodom and Samaria and thought themselves to be much superior than their “sisters”. God told them that the sins which they committed were more abominable and they would bear the judgement for it (Ezekiel 16:52). Their shame would be worse because they stood in judgement of their neighbors ( Mat 7:1-5). I think the verse you are questioning (Ezekiel 16:53) is prophesy speaking of their return from exile in Babylon. They would be lead back along side their “sisters” that they despised. God Bless, retxar |

320 | what sabbath rest in hebrews 4-10 | 1 Cor 6:11 | retxar | 25470 | ||
Heb 4:10 means we are to cease from trying to do good works as a means to obtain righteousness. God rested after creation, as the work was complete. We are to rest in the assurance of the work Jesus did on the cross, as the work was complete and we cannot add to. Anything we try to add, actually takes away (Gal 2:21) Jesus Saves! retxar |
