1 | what is jesus trying to explain | Luke 18:1 | childoftheking | 42912 | ||
Hello, I believe what the Lord was saying in using the cruel Judge is this..... If this cruel judge, who doesn't fear God or have any respect for man, helps this woman, even though for the wrong reasons, how much more will God who Loves his people, hear their cries and bring about justice for them. So don't lose heart, keep praying because God hears the prayers of his elect. It also might be that, in verse 7, Jesus was alluding to Rev. 6:9-11 Also read Luke 11:5-13 Sometimes people will help you just so they don't have to listen to you anymore but God is not like that. God helps us because he Loves us. When we pray, if we don’t get a reply from the Lord right away, don’t just give up and say something like: “ well I guess God doesn’t want to help me”. We are to keep praying. Matthew 7:7-11 Psalm 84:11 Love in Christ bgg |

2 | why do they say we are in the end times? | 2 Thess 2:3 | childoftheking | 41458 | ||
Hello Hopeful Lady, As far as I can tell, Paul did not think that they were in the end times, the Thessalonians did. 2Thes 2:2 "Not to allow your minds to be quickly unsettled or disturbed or kept excited or alarmed, whether it be by some [pretended] revelation of [the] Spirit or by word or by letter [alleged to be] from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has [already] arrived and is here." Amplified Read 2Thess 2 Actually, you should read 1Thes to see exactly what Paul told them in that first letter. This will help to better understand the reason for the second letter. "Some translations have that the day of Christ is at hand (KJV), but "The verb does not really mean to be at hand, but rather to be present." (Morris); the Thessalonians were not afraid that the day of the Lord was coming, but that they were in it." David Guzik. Who are "they" that your brother is referring to? bgg |

3 | Does satan's army have military ranking? | Rom 8:37 | childoftheking | 41170 | ||
CDBJ, All good points you make. As far as Satan goes, I stand on the word. I will not fear what Satan can do. Yes he's clever and knows our weaknesses, but if we stand firm in the Faith, in the Lord and put on the whole armor of God, then he's quite limited to what he can do. James 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." I submit myself to God and resist the devil and he has to flee because the Word says so. 1 John 4:4 "You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.” 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind". 1 John 2:13 “I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father. 14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.” John 16:33 "These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” 1 John 5:4 “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.” We are above the enemy only because we have Jesus in us. Love in Christ. Happy Easter bgg |

5 | Where was Jesus at during three days in | Luke 23:43 | childoftheking | 40976 | ||
Jesus’ Spirit was in Paradise. Jesus was preaching to the dead. 1 Peter 4:5 “but they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6) For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God." NASB 1 Peter 3:18 "For Christ [the Messiah Himself] died for sins once for all, the Righteous for the unrighteous (the Just for the unjust, the Innocent for the guilty), that He might bring us to God. In His human body He was put to death, but He was made alive in the spirit, 19) In which He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20) [The souls of those] who long before in the days of Noah had been disobedient, when God's patience waited during the building of the ark in which a few [people], actually eight in number, were saved through water.

6 | Crusifiction of Christ | John 19:17 | childoftheking | 40770 | ||
I know you meant denominations but demonations is close (even though it's not a word) as it's right out of the pit of hell to teach that Jesus was not crucified on the cross. You should be asking the ones who are teaching that to provide you with scripture. Here's some more verses to compliment what heisthe1 posted. Hebrews 12:2 "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." KJV Thank you Jesus!! Phil 2:8 "And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." KJV Acts 5:30 "The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a cross." NASB (some translations say "tree") Acts 10:39 "We are witnesses of all the things He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They also put Him to death by hanging Him on a cross." NASB Acts 13:29 "When they had carried out all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the cross and laid Him in a tomb." NASB 1 Peter 2:24 "and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed." NASB Praise God!!! bgg |

LimeJuice, I am not questioning your Salvation, Just this play. This is all I said: "But that doesn't include preaching a "different form of the Gospel". There is only one Gospel and it is written in the Bible. Any deviation from the Bible and it does not come from the Holy Spirit." The rest of the previous post is directly out of the Bible: Can you truly say that this play does not deviate from the Bible? The play has Jesus saying: "There's too many of you -- don't push me, There's too little of me -- don't crowd me, Heal yourselves". This is not the Jesus in the Bible. Just some quotes by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Weber “"It happens that we DON'T SEE CHRIST AS GOD but simply the right man at the right time at the right place." So said Tim Rice as quoted in Time, November 9, 1970, page 47” Tim Rice said, "I regard Christ as a man, placing him on a human level." Quoted from Seventeen magazine, March 1971. Webber is quoted in Rolling Stone, December 2, 1970 as saying, "I personally don't think that Jesus is God." One can draw his or her own conclusion but for someone to not think that Jesus is God, how can Jesus possibly be portrayed biblically? bgg |

9 | more info. on baptism, what way we shoul | Matt 28:19 | childoftheking | 40329 | ||
Hello Jenna, The above words in the verse came straight from our Lord Jesus. For your sis n law to say that to be baptized in this fashion isn't right (I'm reading between the lines here) is not correct. This is the way Jesus commanded it be done. Other places in the Bible say in the name of The Lord (acts 10:48), or in the name of the Lord Jesus (acts 19:5), or in the name of Jesus Christ (acts 2:38). Some think that even though Peter said to be baptized in the name of Jesus that he actually did in fact baptize the way Jesus commanded them to do, "INTO the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Or in other words, that Peter was saying to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ whereby meaning; "the way Jesus commanded it to be done". Personally, I believe that what Jesus said in the above verse is the way to baptize. Love in Christ bgg |

Sure Paul Said; "I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some." But that doesn't include preaching a "different form of the Gospel". There is only one Gospel and it is written in the Bible. Any deviation from the Bible and it does not come from the Holy Spirit. Paul also said in Romans 16:17 "Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them" Galatians 1:6 "I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; 7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! 9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed! 10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ" Love in Christ bgg |

11 | when we die where do we go immediately | Bible general Archive 1 | childoftheking | 39913 | ||
Pam, There isn't any scripture that supports your theory. Your theory is shot down("...SUPPOSE WE (OUR SPIRITS) DO FALL ASLEEP") right from the beginning. Our Spirits do not sleep. As scripture states, we go to be with the Lord when we're absent from the body. 2 Cor. 5:8 To "sleep" as in (1 Cor. 11:30 you mentioned) and in 1 Thess 4:14 "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him." in the Greek means "to decease", "be dead". It's our bodies that sleep(are dead). bgg P.S. It is much easier to read and understand posts when they are not all CAPS. :-) |

12 | Question not answered..... any help? | Mark 16:16 | childoftheking | 39908 | ||
Luke, Your question has been answered. As you well know, you posted your question on a Bible Study Forum. The first "rule" if you will is to support our answers with scripture and besides that, it’s the word of God that you have to hear in order for you to have something to “think about”. Your answer is in the Bible and in the verses that Kalos supplied in his post. If you have heard the Gospel as you say, then you know why we are all condemned if we do not believe on Jesus. There is only one Gospel. As Christians, we believe that every word written in the Bible is inspired by God. There are no assumptions here. God did create man, created with brains and the power to think and choose. Seeing as how man chose to disobey God from the beginning; God, being a God of Love, sacrificed His only Son and is giving us a choice as to whether or not we want to spend eternity with Him or spend it in the Lake of fire. The choice He gives us is whether or not to believe that Jesus is the son of God, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross, shed His blood for the remission of our sins, and after 3 days rose triumphantly from the grave and is now sitting at the right hand of the throne of God. It’s as simple as that. As many times as you hear the word of our Lord Jesus, God is giving you the opportunity to use that brain, and heart and thinking power to either believe in the Lord Jesus or not. Christianity is not “following the crowd”, nor is it a religion. You want proof? How about Israel? It's just a little place. You think it hasn't been conquered by now because it's some Military Powerhouse? How about the existence of the universe? The big bang theory doesn’t prove it. How about the miracle of birth, the complexity of the human body? Darwin’s theory of evolution? I don’t think so. You have heard of the doubting Thomas? John 20:29 "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed." I pray that you step out in Faith and believe in our Lord Jesus. I pray that you call upon Jesus and be saved. Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” bgg |

13 | when we die where do we go immediately | Bible general Archive 1 | childoftheking | 39656 | ||
Hello Pam, I don’t believe your question got the attention it deserved so I will attempt to answer it for you. You answered your first question. We do go directly to be with the Lord but notice the first part of that verse, 2Cor 5:8 "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord". KJV To be absent from the body: This means that when we die, our spirit leaves the body to be with Jesus. Now when Jesus comes back to rapture the Church, the dead in Christ will rise first. The Spirit of the dead in Christ will rejoin their bodies (The body cannot live without the Spirit. James 2:26) and the mortal body will become an immortal body, an incorruptible body; a spiritual body. Just as Jesus' body laid in the grave for 3 days as his Spirit was in Paradise (he was preaching to the Old Testament Saints.1 Peter 4:6). When he was raised from the grave, his Spirit reentered his body and this is how it will be during the Rapture. Read 1 Corinthians 15 but I will post verses 42 -54 in the Amplified version. 42) “So it is with the resurrection of the dead. [The body] that is sown is perishable and decays, but [the body] that is resurrected is imperishable (immune to decay, immortal). 43) It is sown in dishonor and humiliation; it is raised in honor and glory. It is sown in infirmity and weakness; it is resurrected in strength and endued with power. 44) It is sown a natural (physical) body; it is raised a supernatural (a spiritual) body. [As surely as] there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body. 45) Thus it is written, The first man Adam became a living being (an individual personality); the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving Spirit [restoring the dead to life]. 46) But it is not the spiritual life which came first, but the physical and then the spiritual. 47) The first man [was] from out of earth, made of dust (earthly-minded); the second Man [is] the Lord from out of heaven. 48) Now those who are made of the dust are like him who was first made of the dust (earthly-minded); and as is [the Man] from heaven, so also [are those] who are of heaven (heavenly-minded). 49) And just as we have borne the image [of the man] of dust, so shall we and so let us also bear the image [of the Man] of heaven. 50) But I tell you this, brethren, flesh and blood cannot [become partakers of eternal salvation and] inherit or share in the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable (that which is decaying) inherit or share in the imperishable (the immortal). 51) Take notice! I tell you a mystery (a secret truth, an event decreed by the hidden purpose or counsel of God). We shall not all fall asleep [in death], but we shall all be changed (transformed) 52) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the [sound of the] last trumpet call. For a trumpet will sound, and the dead [in Christ] will be raised imperishable (free and immune from decay), and we shall be changed (transformed). 53) For this perishable [part of us] must put on the imperishable [nature], and this mortal [part of us, this nature that is capable of dying] must put on immortality (freedom from death). 54) And when this perishable puts on the imperishable and this that was capable of dying puts on freedom from death, then shall be fulfilled the Scripture that says, Death is swallowed up (utterly vanquished (forever) in and unto victory." Hope this helps. Your brother in Christ, bgg |

16 | How is comunion only symbolic? | 1 Cor 11:29 | childoftheking | 39188 | ||
Hi Debbie, If we partake of the Lord’s Supper with “no real feeling of thankfulness” then I think we partake unworthily. Unresolved sin should not be in our lives anyway Debbie. We should be confessing it right after it happen It shouldn’t take the Lord’s Supper to bring out the remembrance of any sin in our lives. I know sometimes we let things slip to the back of our mind. It’s great that you dealt with the bitterness you were harboring. The main thing about the Lord’s Supper is in remembering how Jesus gave his life and shed his blood. If the “solemnity of the time calls to remembrance sin that needs to be resolved” then that’s fine, but I don’t believe it should stop someone from partaking. It’s obviously a personal issue whether or not to partake but none of us are pure when we partake of the Lord’s Supper anyway. I’m not saying that you can’t confess your sin to God before you partake, that’s certainly between you and the Lord. I’m just saying that Paul was not speaking of sitting there and trying to recall any sin we might have when he said to “examine himself”. The sin that the Corinthians committed was that they partook of the Lord’s Supper unworthily and they did it unworthily because they went there to stuff their faces and get drunk, not to remember what the Lord did for them. They had no respect for the meaning of the feast. This is what Paul was writing about. examples: Someone is at Church and is partaking in Communion. If while holding the elements in his hand, he’s thinking about the upcoming golf match, instead of what our Lord did then that person is partaking unworthily no matter how pure his life has been up to then. Suppose a parent gets mad at one of his kids for something the child did. He then apologizes to that child for losing his temper. Now comes the Lord’s Supper and he won’t partake because he still feels upset with the Child even though he apologized for losing his/her temper. This should not stop someone from partaking in communion. Being upset with ones child but partaking in the Lord’s Supper is not partaking unworthily as long as your mind and heart is on what the Lord did for you. If that person decides not to partake then that’s fine, but it’s not a prerequisite for us to sit in Church and drudge up any ill feelings we’re harboring or any other impure thing in our lives that doesn’t make us feel good when we think of them anyway, in order to take communion. More often than not, people won't take communion. As I said, none of us are pure so if this were the case then none of us could partake in the Lord’s Supper but Paul wasn’t speaking of sin when he said, “ let him examine himself”. Hopefully I’ve explained myself well. Love in Christ, bgg |

17 | How is comunion only symbolic? | 1 Cor 11:29 | childoftheking | 39163 | ||
You are right in that we have to look at the entire passage, especially where the words "examine himself" are concerned. I realize this post is almost a year old but the teaching of having to confess our sins or right any wrongs before we partake of the Lord's Supper is not what Paul was talking about but it is still taught this way. Jesus himself simply said "do this in remembrance of me". The Lord’s Supper back then was not just a piece of a cracker and a little grape juice but were feasts. The Corinthians were participating in the Lord's Supper in an unworthy manner, not because they committed a sin at some point or was angry with one of their neighbor's but because they went there just to stuff themselves, to hog the food and drink to get drunk, not caring if anyone else got a chance to partake and not thinking of what Jesus did for them. This is why Paul said" 1Cor 11:20 “Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper, 21 for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk. 22 What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you. Paul then gives them instructions on what to say while partaking (seems like he’s reminding them) in verses 23-26. Now comes the passage of partaking in an unworthy manner and examining ourselves in verses 27-32. Examine--Greek, "prove" or "test" his own state of mind in respect to Christ's death, and his capability of "discerning the Lord's body” JFB I like how Matthew Henry puts it: "Let a man examine himself (v. 28), try and approve himself. Let him consider the sacred intention of this holy ordinance, its nature, and use, and compare his own views in attending on it and his disposition of mind for it; and, when he has approved himself to his own conscience in the sight of God, then let him attend. Such self-examination is necessary to a right attendance at this holy ordinance." Paul finishes this chapter by saying in verses 33-34 “So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will arrange when I come.” We are to examine ourselves to see if our motive for partaking of the Lord's Supper is proper. We partake in remembrance of our Lord and how He laid down His life for all mankind. Glory be to God bgg |

19 | But Satan is our enemy, so how? | Matthew | childoftheking | 39019 | ||
The enemies, the ones that persecute us that Jesus was talking about in Matthew 5:44 are humans. Romans 12: 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. 17 Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. 19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord. 20 "BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD." 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Ephesians 6:12 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." 1 Peter 5:8 "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." 1 John3:8 "He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil." Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. Peace in Jesus bgg |

Hi Jayanth, Can you explain what you mean by "what i mean is that if you deprive any thing that the flesh wants then it is a fast by itself" Can you give an example. Strongs Concordance: Fast-- Abstaining from food. "Moreover when ye FAST, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to FAST. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou FASTEST, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; that thou appear not unto men to FAST, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly."
