1	What's God's "Plan of Salvation"?	John 3:5	Arnie	110780
	The bible teaches that Christ is certainly the "Whole" of God's plan of salvation for mankind. Do we need anything else?? The Holy Spirit, Faith, Love, Obedience, we need all of these but are they not only possible for us but by Christ.
2	Why does God love the world (us)?	Genesis	Arnie	58958
	Greetings Cynic, The answer is in the fact that the very essense of God is love, just the opposite of natural man. 1 John 4:6-8 6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for GOD IS LOVE. KJV Arnie
3	What does John 13:6-10 mean?	John 13:13	Arnie	52994
	The answer is in John 13:13-17, Christians should have a humble attitude in their relationship with each other. At the time Christ lived His physical existance on earth the custom of foot washing usually was done by the servants of the house, a job that wasn't esteemed very highly by most. Christ washing the disciples feet was a great lesson for us, we should not think to highly of our own selves or our status in this life. Arnie
4	If a wife is treated cruel can she divor	Bible general Archive 1	Arnie	52340
	What exactly is "cruel" to you? Some people have used the term to explain having to eat burnt toast, while others use the same term who have been battered and suffered through physical abuse.
5	Law or Christ continued?	Bible general Archive 1	Arnie	49845
	Hi, Is not Christ the Word of God? The law comes from the Word of God, so if you have faith in the Word of God (Christ) you will be keeping the law? You cannot keep the law without faith in the Word of God. It is impossible to do one without the other. Rev 14:12
6	Come as you are	Bible general Archive 1	Arnie	48655
	Hi rondo, The chapter in Matt is 22, not Matt 12, sorry for the typo, Arnie
7	Come as you are	Bible general Archive 1	Arnie	48653
	Hi rondo, You might refer them to Matt 12:11-13. It shows that God thinks we need to have the proper garments when we attend certain functions. (as well as the Spiritual message)
8	Law and Christ vs Law or Christ?	Bible general Archive 1	Arnie	48645
	Hi, Understanding the difference between "being JUSTIFIED by the Law"(Gal 5:14) and trying to keep the Law because it is holy and just and good, is the key (Rom 7:12). If we could keep the law perfectly then the law could justify us, but being carnal we can't keep the law. We are saved by the grace of God, so do we then show our appreciation by turning our backs on that which God has given us, that which is "Holy, Just and Good? Paul states he "delights in the law" in Romans 7:22. If we decide we no longer have to live by the law, then how do you KNOW what is right and what is wrong? (Rom 3:20)Do you decide what is right or do you let the WORD of God show you through the LAW. Because we are no longer under the penalty of the law do we now sin?(Romans 6:15) LOVE IS THE KEEPING OF THE COMMANDMENTS. 1John 5:3
9	is it the antichrist or catholicism?	Matt 24:5	Arnie	47011
	If Matt 24 parallels Rev 6, the "White Horse" is someone coming in the name of Christ and deceiving many. Matt 24:4-5 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. KJV Arnie
10	What is special about "logos" (Word)?	John 1:1	Arnie	46973
	Hank, The Greek philosophers and Jews, (Christians as well) all used the term for their source of Truth. I like Vincents article (New Testament Word Studies) on "logos", he brings to light the term and it's varied uses. John 1:1 After the Babylonish captivity the Jewish doctors combined into one view the theophanies, prophetic revelations and manifestations of Jehovah generally, and united them in one single conception, that of a permanent agent of Jehovah in the sensible world, whom they designated by the name [Memra] ("word," logos (NT:3056)) of Jehovah......... .....But John's doctrine is not Philo's, and does not depend upon it. The differences between the two are pronounced. Though both use the term Logos, they use it with utterly different meanings. In John it signifies "word," as in Holy Scripture generally; in Philo, "reason;" and that so distinctly that when Philo wishes to give it the meaning of word, he adds to it by way of explanation, the term reema (NT:4487), "word."

11	The race is not given to the swift, nor	Eccl 9:11	Arnie	44598
	Dear bhw36004, I think your putting two verses together, Ecc 9:11 and Matt 24:13 or Mark 13:13 Matt 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.KJV Mark 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. KJV It sounds to me like your version certainly is biblical. Not to the swift or to the strong but to him who endures to the end will be saved. Arnie
12	Why does this passage not work?	John 14:13	Arnie	44595
	Dear Chearie, I think "Barnes Commentary" on John 14: 13 explains somewhat; [Whatsoever ye shall ask] This promise referred particularly to the apostles in their work of spreading the gospel; it is, however, true of all Christians, if what they ask is in faith, and according to the will of God, James 1:6; 1 John 5:14. (from Barnes' Notes, Electronic Database. Copyright (c) 1997 by Biblesoft) 1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: KJV James 1:6 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. KJV We can ask in Christ name and to God' glory but is it Gods will, remember Christs prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane asking for the "cup to be removed" if possible, "not my will but thy will be done" I might add that so often we put time frames on what God can do and will do, We see only this temporal setting we live in. Today the blind are seeing and the deaf are hearing. Arnie
13	what is the scripture Paul quotes here?	Eph 5:14	Arnie	42062
	Scandinavian Disciple, It seems the "StudyBibleForum" answered your question for you,in the window above where the verse you quoted is displayed, it gives the scriptures Paul quotes from. Is 26:19 and Is 60:1-2. Arnie
14	U r saved, can u lose ur salavation?	John 5:24	Arnie	41994
	Jess, What do you mean when you say "saved" Once you accept Christ do you mean you CANNOT fall back to the ways of the world. The Bible teaches you can. We must endure to the end to be saved. Matt 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.KJV Matt 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. KJV Even Paul said he must keep his body in subjection or he could be a castaway. 1 Cor 9:25-27 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. KJV We are Saved by His death, He paid the penalty for our sins, so we are know reconciled to God the Father. But we are also saved by His life, the latter is like saving money in the bank. He saves us. Rom 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. KJV

16	Can a man know God without a Bible?	Rom 10:17	Arnie	41977
	Hi Scribe, God has spoken in various ways over the years, since Christ came God has spoken through Him. Heb 1:1-2 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; KJV John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. KJV John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. KJV I guess the the Word has always been here, it is now in the written form we know as the bible. The answer would be, we must have the "Word" in one way or another to be saved. Arnie
17	Seeing and talking to God vs praying	Deut 4:1	Arnie	41820
	Chynna, No man has seen or heard the Father. John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. KJV John 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. KJV 1 John 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. KJV Who then did Adam, Moses, Abraham, Jacob, ect see and talk to? The answer is that Jesus Christ was the God of the Old Testament. 1 Cor 10:1-4 1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. KJV God the Father speaks to us today through Jesus Christ, the inspired Word. Heb 1:1-2 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; KJV I hope I didn't create more questians then I answered. Arnie
18	jesus takes the sting out of death	1 Cor 15:55	Arnie	41810
	Simleytrina, I not sure of any passages where Jesus took keys from Satan but the following might be helpful. 1 Cor 15:54-57 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. KJV Rev 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. KJV Arnie
19	John 2, 1-11water into wine was it Juice	Eph 5:18	Arnie	41805
	In John 2:10 the Greek word for wine is "oinos" which means wine. It must have alcohol in it as in Eph 5:18 the same word is used in condeming getting drunk. Ephesians 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; KJV We know the bible teaches moderation in everything especially if it should make your brother stumble you should abstain from it. Rom 14:21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. KJV My understanding is drinking an alcoholic beverage is fine as long as it is in moderation. Arnie
20	restitution	2 Pet 3:1	Arnie	41185
	Dear Scott, I don't think you are reading the question right, I'm asking about those who have never had a first chance to accept Christ in their life time, I know once Christ has been rejected, there is no second chance.
