1 | Hell/Lake of Fire | Rev 20:14 | cb2859 | 171740 | ||
Good day to all, Just to throw in my 2 cents, the english word "Hell" originally meant something like "a hidden place" -- look at the etymologically related words helmet and hull -- and so was used to translate hades/sheol -- where the wicked dead are now and the righteous dead once were. More recently (like the last couple hundred years) the word hell has been used more and more exclusively to mean "the place of eternal fire/punishment" and most modern Bibles equate this english word to Gehenna and/or Tartarus -- i.e. just the bad place. (Remember the the KJV, for instance, is almost 400 years old) -Chris |

2 | what man was born but never died | Gen 5:24 | cb2859 | 168973 | ||
For the record, I don't think so either, although there are some that do -- just thought that was likely the person the pastor was referring to. The real point in Heberews, as I understand it, is that Melchizadek was not a levitical priest -- just like Christ who was from the tribe of Judah. -Chris |
||||||
3 | what man was born but never died | Gen 5:24 | cb2859 | 168930 | ||
I bet he's thinking of Melchizadek -- no "end of life". Heb 7:3 Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, he remains a priest perpetually. |

4 | What is the art of apothacary? | Ex 30:35 | cb2859 | 168140 | ||
An Apothecary now is a Pharmacist. In the KJV Bible, it is referring to a Perfumer. KJV Ex 30:35 And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy: -Chris |

5 | I don't know what version this quote is | Bible general Archive 3 | cb2859 | 167650 | ||
Looks like a VERY paraphrased version of Genesis 31:27-29 (Laban following after his son-in-law Jacob.) -Chris 27 "Why did you flee secretly and deceive me, and did not tell me so that I might have sent you away with joy and with songs, with timbrel and with lyre; 28 and did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have done foolishly. 29 "It is in my power to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful not to speak either good or bad to Jacob.’ |

6 | Do I really have to love everyone? | 1 John 4:7 | cb2859 | 150841 | ||
All, Yes, God is love (although His primary attribute is that He is Holy). I just want to take this opprtunity to point out that biblical love is not an emotion -- it is how one acts toward others. If you treat your enemies like you would treat your friends ( or yourself ) you are acting in love. As was already pointed out, in ourselves, we don't have this capacity, but the Christian can confidently state that "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." Here is a URL that states the position better than I could. http://www.bible-truth.org/msg38.html -Chris |

7 | Who is the son of man which is in heaven | John 3:11 | cb2859 | 144648 | ||
I'm not Ray, but here is what you asked for concerning Christ as the second (last!) Adam. -Chris 1 Corinthians 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. Also see Romans 5:14 |

8 | Are non-Christians sinners? | Rom 3:23 | cb2859 | 136414 | ||
Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, All have sinned, Christians and non_Christians alike. Christians are justified (delared righteous) through the blood of Christ. A real Christian may sometimes sin, but is no longer a (habitual) sinner -- Read the book of James for more on this. Non-Christians may have sinned the greatest sin of all -- not accepting the sacrifice and salvation offered by Jesus. -Chris |

9 | Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust. | Amos 1:1 | cb2859 | 130862 | ||
Here is a URL that will explain. http://www.kencollins.com/question-27.htm It came from the Anglican 'Book of Common Prayer'. -Chris |

10 | can u cast a demon out of your own body? | Amos 1:1 | cb2859 | 129086 | ||
Let's look at some scripture! 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. According to the above, I believe that a person that has been saved (Christ is in them) cannot be demon possessed. (Possibly a person might be so demon afflicted that it might be hard for someone else to tell that they were NOT possessed.) Anyway ... Let's see what happens to those who try to cast out demons without Christ 14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. 15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? 16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. So, I would say -- No, a person could not cast out demons out his own body. -Chris |

11 | God helps those who help themselves? | Prov 13:4 | cb2859 | 94610 | ||
Sorry to chime in so late, but that quote is from 'Poor Richards Almanac' (1736) according to Bartlett's Familiar Quotations. "God helps them who help themselves" Benjamin Franklin 309:20 (Barletts) -Chris |

12 | Only Gospels as Authority? | 2 Tim 3:16 | cb2859 | 92446 | ||
I agree with the answers you received -- that all scripture is valuable for reproof and teaching. However, for those trying to justify homosexuality, how about the Biblical definition of marriage whcih can be found in Matthew 19:4-6 and Mark 10:6-9 Here is Matthew -------------------- Matt 19:4 And He answered and said, "Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE, Matt 19:5 and said, 'FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH'? Matt 19:6 "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate." --------------------- Notice God "made them male and female" and "a man ... joined with his wife" If it had been Gods intention, He could have created Man and Man -- but He didn't. -Chris |

13 | Eight or Eighteen when Jehoiachin reign | 2 Chr 29:6 | cb2859 | 76781 | ||
I have seen the other answer posted and I believe it is basically correct. However, I would like to elaborate. Jehoiachin was probably anointed King at age eight, but under a regent of some sort. Then, at age eighteen, he was anointed King in his own right. You can see an example of multiple anointings by studying King David. He was anointed King three separate times. First time - 1 Samuel 16:13 Second time - 2 Samuel 2:4 Third time - 2 Samuel 5:3 I hope this sets your mind at rest regarding this particular "contradiction". -Chris |

14 | Why does Jesus have 2 genealogies? | Rom 1:18 | cb2859 | 67392 | ||
There were genealogies showing "natural" descent as well as ones showing "legal" descent -- Due to adoptions and such. You can find a detailed explanation at http://www.xenos.org/ct_outln/lk3-38.htm -Chris |

15 | Church grafted into Israel? | Acts 2:17 | cb2859 | 61348 | ||
Sorry I am so late in responding. I still believe the "root" of the vine is Jesus. He is the root that supports us (Romans 11:18). As to John 15:1,2 referring to the Jews, I think the branches are Jesus's followers -- both Jew and Gentile. It is a warning that an unfruitful vine will be "thrown away as a branch". That's just what happened to the Jews. Those natural branches were broken off and wild vines (Gentiles) were grafted in. However, God is gracious and able to graft them in again (Romans 11:23) My Bible lists John 15:1 as a reference to Romans 11:17, so perhaps I am not alone in my opinion. However, I am aware that there are many layers to be understood. Though I don't think that as Emmaus said "Gentiles are grafted into Israel". If anything, I would rather say that we are "grafted" into being Abraham's children. If you wish to discuss this further, perhaps we should make our own thread. -Chris |
||||||
16 | Church grafted into Israel? | Acts 2:17 | cb2859 | 60973 | ||
Just a note: The vine we are grafted to is Jesus Himself. In Romans 11:17, we (Gentiles) are the wild vine. In John 15:1 we can see that Jesus is the vine. -Chris |

17 | Is it a sin for women to wear pants? | Bible general Archive 1 | cb2859 | 59950 | ||
In Deuteronomy 22:5 it says "A woman shall not wear mans clothing..." Some have interpreted this to prohibit women wearing pants. Personally, I believe the intent was to prohibit women (and men) from being cross-dressers (or participating in some other sexual deviancy). Today, there are pants made explicitly for women, so they are definitely not "man's clothing". -Chris |
