1 | Who is God Talking to in verse 26? | Genesis | Tess | 140896 | ||
In this passage God is speaking to his son Jesus. The person who became known as Jesus Christ did not begin life here on earth. He himself spoke of his prehuman heavenly life. (Joh 3:13; 6:38, 62; 8:23, 42, 58) John 1:1, 2 gives the heavenly name of the one who became Jesus, saying: “In the beginning the Word [Gr., Lo´gos] was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god [“was divine,” AT; Mo; or “of divine being,” Böhmer; Stage (both German)]. This one was in the beginning with God.” Since God is eternal and had no beginning (Ps 90:2; Re 15:3), the Word’s being with God from “the beginning” must here refer to the beginning of God's creative works. This is confirmed by other texts identifying Jesus as “the firstborn of all creation,” “the beginning of the creation by God.” (Col 1:15; Re 1:1; 3:14) Thus the Scriptures identify the Word (Jesus in his prehuman existence) as God’s first creation, his firstborn Son. |

2 | is hell a literal fire | Bible general Archive 2 | Tess | 139313 | ||
Hell is the Grave. Notice at Rev. 20:14 13 And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Ha´des gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds. 14 And death and Ha´des were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire. 15 Furthermore, whoever was not found written in the book of life was hurled into the lake of fire. The King James Version translates hai´des as “hell” in these texts, but the Revised Standard Version renders it “Hades,” with the exception of Matthew 16:18, where “powers of death” is used, though the footnote reads “gates of Hades.” “Hades” rather than “hell” is used in many modern translations. |

7 | Heaven before Christ? | Gen 15:6 | Tess | 139299 | ||
Gen. 3:19: “In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.” Eccl. 9:10: “All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol [“the grave,” KJ, Kx; “the world of the dead,” TEV], the place to which you are going.” What is the condition of the dead? Eccl. 9:5: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.” Ps. 146:4: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts [“thoughts,” KJ, 145:4 in Dy; “all his thinking,” NE; “plans,” RS, NAB] do perish.” John 11:11-14: “‘Lazarus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep.’ . . . Jesus said to them outspokenly: ‘Lazarus has died.’” (Also Psalm 13:3) Jesus said to her [Martha, a sister of Lazarus]: ‘I am the resurrection and the life.’ . . . He cried out with a loud voice: ‘Lazarus, come on out!’ The man that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: ‘Loose him and let him go.’” (If Jesus had thus called Lazarus back from a state of bliss in another life, that would have been no kindness. But Jesus’ raising Lazarus up from a lifeless state was a kindness both to him and to his sisters. Once again Lazarus became a living human.) According to these scriptures when people died they did not go stright to heaven. They are in the groung awaiting resurrection. Remenber there will be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous Acts 24:15. John 5:28, 29? It says: “All those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.” |

9 | God's definition of sex | 1 Cor 7:2 | Tess | 139293 | ||
Titus 3:1: “Continue reminding them to be in subjection and be obedient to governments and authorities as rulers.” (When people heed these instructions, the name of each party to the union is kept above reproach, and any children are spared the reproach that falls on those whose parents are not married. Additionally, legal registration of the marriage safeguards the property rights of family members in the event of death of one of the mates.) Heb. 13:4: “Let marriage be honorable among all, and the marriage bed be without defilement, for God will judge fornicators and adulterers.” (Getting legally married plays an important part in having a marriage that is accepted as being “honorable.” When defining “fornication” and “adultery,” we should keep in mind what is stated at Titus 3:1, quoted above.) |

10 | Let me ask, is divorce allowed? | Matt 2:1 | Tess | 139290 | ||
Jesus Christ, in his Sermon on the Mount, stated: “Moreover it was said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ However, I say to you that everyone divorcing his wife, except on account of fornication, makes her a subject for adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” (Mt 5:31, 32) Also, after telling the Pharisees that the Mosaic concession of divorcing their wives was not the arrangement that had prevailed “from the beginning,” Jesus said: “I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery.” (Mt 19:8, 9) Also note at Malachi 2:15-16 tells us that God hates divorcing. So. according to the scriptures divorce is only allowed if your mate commits adultery or fornication. |

11 | How does God speak to us? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Tess | 133683 | ||
Gods word the bible tells os at 2 Timothy 3:16 that all scripture is inspired by God. Everything we need to know about what kind of life we need to live is written in God's word ( the entire bible). We must go to God in prayer and ask for understanding of what we read in his word. Because that is where we will find the answers to our questions. God does not talk to us in our dreams, through idols or dead loved ones. Gods voice does not talk to us like those in bibical times. The bible was written for our benefit. Open your mind and heart to God's word and also do research. |

12 | Christmas-Is It Christian? | Not Specified | Tess | 106665 | ||
Christmas-Is It Christian? *** If Christmas were important for Christians, would not Jesus or his disciples have mentioned it? Also, the Bible tells us: "All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial . . . that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16, 17) If Christmas were of divine origin, would not God have inspired the Bible writers to say something about it so that Christians could be "completely equipped for every good work"? The Bible ignores Christmas because it is not a Christian doctrine or practice. It is not of divine origin. As the Sri Lankan Daily News observed: "It is quite significant to note that nowhere in the New Testament was a special day called Christmas set apart to celebrate the birth of Christ. . . . Christmas is of human origin. Christmas is not a part of the Bible." Jesus Not Born on December 25 Regarding the date December 25 given for the birth of Jesus, there is no evidence to indicate that this is correct. The evidence shows otherwise. |

14 | Some do not have enough money to buy. | Not Specified | Tess | 106664 | ||
Does Christmas Giving Make Sense? *** Really, does it make sense to save all year to buy gifts that others may not need or want? And does it make sense to try to impress others with expensive gifts? "One particularly noxious aspect of Christmas consumption is 'conspicuous giving,'" claims Henry. "Luxury gifts," he says, "are designed precisely for those who are least in need of any present at all ('the person who has everything'). Most such high-priced gifts are given at Christmas; the fourth quarter, according to a sampling of New York department stores, provides more than half the year's diamond, watch, and fur sales." Moreover, Christmas magnifies human inequities, causing tremendous pressures and unhappiness. Some do not have enough money to buy gifts, and in the United States, this apparently leads to more robberies during the Christmas season than at any other time of the year. |

16 | What is the Holy Ghost? | NT general Archive 1 | Tess | 106663 | ||
To understand what the Bible has to say about God's holy spirit we must first note the meaning of the Hebrew and Greek words translated "spirit," namely, the Hebrew word ru´ahh and the Greek word pneu´ma. Both of these words have the meaning of "breath," "blast" or "wind," and are translated in various ways. The English word "pneumatic" comes from this Greek word pneu´ma, a pneumatic tire being a tire full of wind. While the term "Holy Ghost" occurs some ninety times in the King James and Douay versions, it is actually an Old English term, "ghost" being derived from the German word geist, meaning "spirit." That is why the expression "Holy Ghost" does not appear in modern translations. 7 The term "spirit" is used in seven different ways in the Bible, and is applied both to persons and to impersonal things. 9 Logically, the term "spirit" applies first of all to Jehovah God, for he is both invisible, no man ever having seen him, and mighty-almighty, in fact. (Ex. 6:3; 33:20) Yes, as Jesus said, "God is a Spirit"; and as Paul wrote, "Now Jehovah is the spirit."-John 4:24; 2 Cor. 3:17, NW. HOLY SPIRIT NEITHER A PERSON NOR A GOD 17 If the holy spirit is equal with Jehovah God, as claimed by the Athanasian Creed, and if the trinity is the central teaching of the Christian religion, as claimed by The Catholic Encyclopedia, should we not expect these things to be plainly stated in so many words in the Bible? And should this not especially be the case in view of the fact that it is stated that the trinity teaching is "of all revealed truths" "the most impenetrable to reason," and yet salvation depends upon its acceptance? The fact that the Word of God does not explicitly mention, explain or teach a trinity is in itself strong proof that the trinity teaching is false. And this is also borne out by what the Bible teaches regarding the holy spirit. 18 Yes, how could the holy spirit be equal with Jehovah the Father when it is given such a secondary position in the Scriptures? Daniel, Stephen and John in visions saw representations of the Father and the Son, but never one of the holy spirit. Why not, if the holy spirit is equal to the Father and the Son in glory, power, etc.? The creed may state that unless we believe that the holy spirit is equal to God we shall perish, but Jesus, in giving us the rule for life, does not even mention the holy spirit: "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ."-John 17:3, NW. |

17 | What is wrong w/Women speaking in church | 1 Cor 14:34 | Tess | 106660 | ||
Congregational meetings. There were meetings when these women could pray or prophesy, provided they wore a head covering. (1Co 11:3-16; see HEAD COVERING.) However, at what were evidently public meetings, when "the whole congregation" as well as "unbelievers" assembled in one place (1Co 14:23-25), women were to "keep silent." If 'they wanted to learn something, they could question their own husbands at home, for it was disgraceful for a woman to speak in a congregation.'-1Co 14:31-35. While not permitted to teach in congregational assembly, a woman could teach persons outside the congregation who desired to learn the truth of the Bible and the good news about Jesus Christ (compare Ps 68:11), as well as be a 'teacher of what is good' to younger women (and children) within the congregation. (Tit 2:3-5) But she was not to exercise authority over a man or dispute with men, as, for example, in the meetings of the congregation. She was to remember what happened to Eve and how God expressed the matter of woman's position after Adam and Eve had sinned.-1Ti 2:11-14; Ge 3:16. |
