1	What is the biblical def of apostle	Luke 6:13	james210	133234
	Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, 1 Corinthians 1:1 Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 1 Corinthians 9:1 Am I am not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord? 2 Corinthians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia: Galatians 1:1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) Ephesians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: Colossians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother, Timothy 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope; 2 Timothy 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, 2 Timothy 1:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. Titus 1:1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; --- Although the Bible never says Paul was 'numbered with the eleven' to replace Judas as Matthias was (Acts 1:26), every letter except Philippians, both Thessalonians, and Philemon Paul introduces himself as an 'apostle'.
2	Is inter cultural marriage advisable?	2 Cor 6:14	james210	133215
	2 Corinthians 6 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. The Bible only says that if you are a Christian, do not marry a non-Christian (of course if you are a Christian and already married to someone who's not, this does not mean leave them). If two people are Christians (one man and one woman) and decide to marry certainly God will bless the marriage. Although a marriage with someone from a different culture may be more difficult, I've never seen anything in the Bible against it.
3	What is the biblical def of apostle	Luke 6:13	james210	133184
	Luke 6 13 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; Hebrews 3 1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Acts 1 25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. 26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. An apostle is a 'special messenger', especially Christ's first twelve, Paul, and Christ himself (see above). Their message was/is the Gospel.
4	Can unbelievers pray to God?	Matt 5:45	james210	133179
	See Post ID# 133176
5	Can unbelievers pray to God?	Prov 28:9	james210	133176
	Proverbs 28 9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. Psalm 66 18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: Psalm 109 7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. Proverbs 15 8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. Proverbs 15 29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. Psalm 102 17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
6	Why does God send storms?	Gen 3:17	james210	133149
	"And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: CURSED IS THE GROUND FOR THY SAKE; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life." Genesis 3:17 (emphasis mine) "For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now." Romans 8:22 When Adam sinned, God cursed the ground. All death and suffering come from mankind's sin. This does not necessarily mean that Hurricane Ivan was sent by God specifically to kill certain people that have sinned. God could be chastening our nation so that we should repent (see Revelation 3:19). There is also the possibility that the hurricane just happened - we live in a fallen creation marred by death and suffering. Note that Satan also has the ability to control the weather - see Job 1.
7	Can obedience produce the new birth?	1 Cor 13:8	james210	133072
	Yeah I figured you agreed - it did seem like a rhetorical question.
8	did Jesus desend to hell and preach	Acts 2:31	james210	133011
	Acts 2:31 (KJV): "He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption." 1 Peter 3:19: "By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;" Here, 'hell' is actually translated from the word 'Hades' (the Amplified Bible leaves it alone). Hades is the abode of the dead. Often when people think of hell they think of 'Gehenna' which is a place of torment, another word that is translated into 'hell'. Looking at the parable in Luke 16 with the rich man and Lazarus, it seems that Hades consists both of a place of torment and a place of 'paradise'. This makes sense in light of the fact that Jesus said that the thief on the cross would be with Him in paradise (Luke 23:43). In Revelation 20-21, Scripture states that Hades itself will be thrown into the Lake of Fire with all of those whose names are not written in the Book of Life. We (as born-again believers) will be bodily resurrected and rule with Christ. The 'spirits in prison' mentioned in Peter's letter could be either fallen angels or actual people waiting to be ressurected as seen in Revelation. This is probably more than you wanted to know. I've seen different views on this subject, so take it for what it's worth. Sorry if I confused you.
9	THE PURPOSE OF THE LAW	Rom 7:7	james210	132988
	THE PURPOSE OF THE LAW Paul once again gives us the purpose of the Law in this verse. The Law is given that we may know our sin. We should use the Law in sharing the Good News to show the sinful state of man and then show man's need for a Savior from God's Judgment.
10	when do you recieve the holy spirit	Bible general Archive 2	james210	132985
	See this post: ID# 132946
11	Can obedience produce the new birth?	1 Cor 13:8	james210	132944
	Ephesians 2 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. God's grace saves us (v8). Obedience does not (v9). We are obedient to God after we are 'created in Christ Jesus' (born again - John 3:3) because we love Him (v10, John 14:15).

13	Those who saw Christ didn't die, how?	Ex 3:20	james210	132941
	This definately helps! Thanks, James
14	Those who saw Christ didn't die, how?	Bible general Archive 2	james210	132938
	I put the wrong verse number in this question (it should be Ex 33:20). I'm going to do some more research on this subject before I post it again. James
15	Those who saw Christ didn't die, how?	Not Specified	james210	132932
	There was a thread going on with a few of us talking about how Jesus Christ is indeed God and was seen by many people here on earth (now bodily resurrected sitting in Heaven), and at the same time the Bible says that those who see God will die (Ex 3:20). Both of these are true at the same time, but is there any Biblical reference to how this works (I know with God all things are possible, so I don't question that it is, but I just want to know how)?

18	Jesus in the flesh	Matt 1:23	james210	132927
	I believe that we are both correct in saying that yes, anyone that sees God shall die, and that yes, Jesus Christ is God and people have seen Him. You're correct in stating that some would and will use this apparent contradiction to lead you down a rabbit trail. We should always take the Bible at its word, even in apparent contradictions as these. Personally, I'm not sure how to make this 'contradiction' make sense to someone who would ask me.
19	Jesus in the flesh	Matt 1:23	james210	132921
	Wasn't God visible (as Jesus Christ) before He died and rose again? Indeed "[He] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers, all things were created by him, and for him." Colossians 1:15,16 Also, you stated that Jesus existed in the heavenly realm before He came to earth. Actually, being God, He created the heavenly realm so he pre-existed that, too (John 1:1-3).
20	Why is Acts 8:37 in KJV and not NIV	Acts 8:37	james210	132918
	Some manuscripts don't have this verse. Some versions (such as the Amplified Bible) don't leave out this verse but put a footnote noting that some manuscripts did not have this verse. Here's a good page full of articles on this topic: http://www.chick.com/information/bibleversions/
