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

	I would guess that just about every man and women has abused their spouses in some manner during their marriage.
5	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.
6	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
7	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
8	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)
9	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
10	Law or grace or both?	Bible general Archive 1	Arnie	48624
	Hi, We cannot make it to heaven by keeping the the Law, because the Law is spiritual and we are carnal (physical). (Romans 7:14). Once we recieve the Holy Spirit we can begin to follow the Law, we will fall occasionnally,like a young child who is learning to walk, but by the grace of God, we get up and continue on the path that Christ has revealed to us. (Romans 7:25,Romans 8:4), (Gal 5:16)
11	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
12	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."

13	Christ and doctrines revealed to us?	John 15:16	Arnie	46184
	Dear Parable, I do beleive in progressive revelation, but any new revelation WILL NOT CHANGE any original revelation, it will only add to it. A good example is Christ bringing the spiritual dimension to the "law". Thou shalt not kill, now we are not to be angry, without a just cause, with our brother. It dosn't do away with the original, it magnified it. There are several examples of this in the "Sermon on the Mount" You need not go far for examples of different doctrines, Catholics have theirs, the Lutherans theirs, Methothist have theirs, Babtist have theirs, ect. Many practice the same doctrines but how do they get different teaching on those they differ so much on, Baptism - Immersion (age of understanding) or sprinkling (infant Baptism). This was part of the Gospel that was taught by Christ and the Disciples, "Repent and be Baptize, everyone of you. This seems to be a foundational principle. Did God the Father give both methods of Baptism? Does it make a difference? I think it does. There are many other major different beliefs, with this posting I'm not trying to argue that one or the other is right, I'm saying do they all come from the mind of God. I believe God gives us the truth initially, then as times goes by, we start compromising the truth, small change here and there, after a period of time we can't recognize what God gave us from the beginning. Rev 2:25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. KJV Rev 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. KJV Heb 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; KJV In Christian Love, Arnie
14	Christ and doctrines revealed to us?	John 15:16	Arnie	46166
	When Christ is revealed to us, are not the doctrines also revealed to us from Christ. I know men make doctrines and I think that could be a big part of the problem, where do the doctrines come from? Christ said in John 7:16 that the doctrines he taught were not His own but were DELIVERED to Him by the Father. So also Christ DELIVERED the same doctrines to us, they more then likely came through a human instrument, but they are not the human instruments doctrines, they were given to him by Christ who received them from the Father. John 7:16-17 16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. KJV Rom 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. KJV Which goes back to the question does God give different doctrines to different groups? I am questioning how can there be so many different doctrines and still all be from the mind of one God. Eph 4:3-6 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. KJV
15	Recognize Christ?	John 15:16	Arnie	46123
	Just one last point, If we all believe it is Christ who revealed His doctrines to us, why so many different ideas and views of the same subject. Does He reveal one thing to one group, then reveal the opposite to another group? or is there another answer? 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 Many will come teaching in the name of Christ, teaching that Jesus is the Christ AND WILL DECEIVE MANY. Rev 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. KJV Was it Christ on this horse or a counterfeit?
16	recognize Christ?	John 15:16	Arnie	46069
	Dear Parable, When using the word "responsible" I meant when He chose (John 15:16) us, He being the initiator, the one who is doing the work, it would be up to Him, not up to us, to deliver the doctrines that we come to understand. I had not thought of the second point you made but it is a very good one Once we are called we are set apart in the eyes of God and now have a special standing with God.
17	recognize Christ?	John 15:16	Arnie	46053
	Dear Parable, The follow-up question would be; if Christ chose us, would He not be responsible for giving us the truth? (knowledge of Him, doctrines, His plan of salvation for mankind) Isn't that how we would come to know Him, recognize Him from the counterfeit Christ'S?
18	Would you have recognized Christ?	Not Specified	Arnie	45999
	Do think you would have recognized Jesus as the Christ if you lived in Palestine when Christ was there approximately 2000 Yrs ago? If yes, how would you have recognized Him? Arnie
19	Would you have recognized Christ?	John 15:16	Arnie	46001
	Do think you would have recognized Jesus as the Christ if you lived in Palestine when Christ was there approximately 2000 Yrs ago? If yes, how would you have recognized Him? Arnie
20	physical resurrection	Ezek 37:1	Arnie	44924
	Dear Markarios, I doubt if I could answer satisfactoraly the problems and challanges that you stated, but let me try, I'll start with the easest one, #3. (in verse's 12 , 14)now they will have God's Spirit in them so they now will have their first chance for salvation. without God's spirit we are lost and without hope. #2. "Ezekials own explanation" I'm not sure what you mean by this, I don't see an explanation by Ezekiel of the vision, he simply made a statement of the vision he had. #1 , #4 are basically the same question Rev 20 helps explain the resurrections, 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection After the thousand year reign "The rest of the dead lived" The first resurrection was a spiritual resurrection, they received their reward. This is another resurrection, (the rest of the dead) I believe God's plan of salvation must give every creature a chance for salvation, not only for Israel but for all mankind, there must be a day of salvation for those who didn't have their first one. I believe Ezekiel 37 is an indication of just that. Arnie
