1 | Holy Spirit holding the planet together? | Col 1:17 | kalos | 190966 | ||
in the Son all things hold together NASB Colossians 1:17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. ESV Colossians 1:13b-17 ...his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 17 And he is before all things, and in him (Christ) all things hold together.

7 | Should Christian men wear a beard? | 1 Chr 19:5 | kalos | 190853 | ||
Does the New Testament really say, By your beards shall all men know that you are my disciples? Or how about this one, "By their beards ye shall know them." :-) (It's a joke.) Grace to you, Kalos |

8 | STUMP THE PASTOR | Prov 5:4 | kalos | 190852 | ||
Pbp, As far as I know, David is still buried in David's tomb. Acts 2:29 ESV “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. "How many people in the Bible named Zechariah?" I'll have to look that one up and get back to you. I read it somewhere just the other day, but don't remember the number. If I'm not mistaken, the answer is more than ten. Here's another trivia (for want of a better word) question, one I recently thought of: Question: Is there anything remaining that must happen before we are raptured? Answer. Yes. The dead in Christ will rise first. "...the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up..." See 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 Grace to you, Kalos |

9 | Should Christian men wear a beard? | 1 Chr 19:5 | kalos | 190851 | ||
Outward appearance vs. the heart NASB 1 Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." You write: "Just a question, who would you rather represent in appearance The Son of man, or those who crucified Him?" When you say those who crucified the son of man, do you mean the bearded Jewish religious leaders who conspired together to have him crucified? Are you saying that God has a beard? I really doubt that Joseph had a beard when he served first in the house of Potiphar and later in the service of Phraoah. With all respect, I cannot agree with your reasons for God's alleged preference for beards. Nevertheless, I thank you for your reply. Grace to you, Kalos |

11 | What is the answer to "B"? | Prov 5:4 | kalos | 190774 | ||
Who Killed King Saul? ____________________ "What had actually happened was that after Saul had killed himself, and the armorbearer had followed his lord’s example by taking his own life (1 Sam. 31:5), the Amalekite happened by at that moment, recognized the king’s corpse, and quickly stripped off the bracelet and crown before the Philistine troops discovered it." ____________________ 'This item is available on the Apologetics Press website at: http://www.apologeticspress.org/articles/567 'AP Content :: Alleged Discrepancies 'Who Killed King Saul? 'by Bert Thompson, Ph.D. 'A skeptic wrote to ask the following question: “Bible contradictions, are they real?” He then answered his own question (which makes one wonder why—if he already knew the answer—he was writing us in the first place): “Yes. How did Saul die? 2 Samuel 21:12 says he was killed by a Philistine. 1 Samuel 31:4 says he killed himself. 2 Samuel 1:18-20 says he was killed by an Amalekite. Which one is it?” 'With just a few short sentences, the skeptic appears to have documented a legitimate discrepancy within the biblical text. The key word here, however, is “appears.” As is so often the case, there is much more to the matter than merely quoting a single verse or two in an effort to make the Bible appear to contradict itself. An examination of these passages—in their historical context—makes for an interesting and educational study. (...) ____________________ "...it is only a record of what the Amalekite mercenary SAID had taken place." ____________________ 'How can this [the Amalekite's] story be reconciled with the accounts in 1 Samuel 31 and 2 Samuel 21? Isolated from both the general and immediate historical context, the simple fact is that it cannot. Is there, then, an unavoidable, unexplainable contradiction as the skeptic has alleged? No, there is not. There is another possible explanation. In his book, Encyclopedia of Bible Difficulties, Gleason L. Archer elaborated on this possibility when he wrote that the Amalekite’s story "is not presented as being an actual record of what happened during Saul’s dying moments; it is only a record of what the Amalekite mercenary SAID had taken place. Coming with Saul’s crown and bracelet in hand and presenting them before the new king of Israel, the Amalekite obviously expected a handsome reward and high preferment in the service of Saul’s successor. In the light of the straightforward account in the previous chapter, we must conclude that the Amalekite was lying in order to gain a cordial welcome from David. But what had actually happened was that after Saul had killed himself, and the armorbearer had followed his lord’s example by taking his own life (1 Sam. 31:5), the Amalekite happened by at that moment, recognized the king’s corpse, and quickly stripped off the bracelet and crown before the Philistine troops discovered it. Capitalizing on his good fortune, the Amalekite then escaped from the bloody field and made his way down to David’s headquarters in Ziklag. But his hoped-for reward turned out to be a warrant for his death; David had him killed on the spot...His glib falsehood had brought him the very opposite of what he had expected, for he failed to foresee that David’s high code of honor would lead him to make just the response he did (1982, pp. 181-182, emp. added)." 'It would not be unusual for a Bible writer to record a story that was told at the time as the truth when, in fact, it was a lie. Moses recorded Satan’s lie to Eve in Genesis 3:4, without comment on its false nature. The writer of 1 Kings 13 recorded the lie of the older prophet to the younger prophet (a lie that ultimately caused the younger prophet’s death). John recorded Peter’s three-fold lie when he denied being one of Christ’s disciples (18:15-27). Other similar examples could be offered. 'The point is, just because the Amalekite mercenary CLAIMED to have killed King Saul does not mean that he was telling the truth when he made such a claim. 'In fact, we know he was not because elsewhere (e.g., 1 Samuel 31:4-5) the actual facts of the case are presented with great clarity. Once again, the skeptic’s claim of a biblical discrepancy can be answered by a common-sense appeal to reason that provides a solution consistent with the available facts.'

12 | does God intend for us to pay tithes | Malachi | kalos | 190773 | ||
God had the authority to "add or even change in one era what He had given in another...What God revealed as binding in one period may be rescinded in another," not by man but by God Himself. There are but few basic principles of Bible interpretation. What follows is one of those principles. (Source: Ryrie Study Bible) "Recognize the progress of revelation. Remember that the Bible was not handed down all at once as a complete book but that it came from God through many different writers over a period of about 1,600 years. This means that in the progress of revealing His message to man, God may add or even change in one era what He had given in another. "The New Testament adds much that was not revealed in the Old. Furthermore, what God revealed as binding in one period may be rescinded in another (as the prohibition of eating pork, once binding on God's people, has been lifted today, 1 Tim 4:3). This is most important; otherwise, the Bible would contain apparently unresolvable contradictions (as Matt 10:5-7 compared with 28:18-20)" (pp. 1959-1960, Ryrie Study Bible, Moody, 1976, 1978).

13 | Why do people in the OT live longer? | Genesis | kalos | 190772 | ||
"one hundred and twenty years" Genesis 6:3 does not say man's days are limited to 120 years. This is what it says: Genesis 6:3 NET BIBLE So the Lord said, “My spirit will not remain in mankind indefinitely since they are mortal. They will remain for one hundred and twenty more years.”[11] 11 Translators' Note. Heb “his days will be one hundred and twenty years.” Some interpret this to mean that the age expectancy of people from this point on would be one hundred twenty, but neither the subsequent narrative nor reality favors this. It is more likely that this refers to the time remaining between this announcement of judgment and the coming of the flood. (www.bible.org/netbible/index.htm ) As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, (NASB Psalm 90:10a) |

18 | STUMP THE PASTOR | Prov 5:4 | kalos | 190619 | ||
Could you clarify your question for me? Which, if any, of the following are you asking: A. What is one of the hardest questions that appears IN the Bible? I.e., the hardest question in the Bible text that is asked by a Bible writer or character? (E.g., who is my neighbor, did God say..., what must I do to be saved, what think ye of Him, whose son is He?) B. What is one of the hardest factual questions ABOUT the text of the Bible? (E.g., did King Saul commit suicide or was he killed by his armor bearer, who is buried in David's tomb, how many people in the Bible are named Zechariah?) C. What is one of the hardest questions about the interpretation of the Bible? (E.g., what is the identity of the Antichrist, the number 666, or the Great Harlot?) Thank you in advance for your help in clarifying your question. Grace to you, Kalos |

19 | When was Revelation written and why ? | Revelation | kalos | 190573 | ||
Why no mention of Temple's destruction? I wonder: Since the most important thing in the life of the Jews was the temple, then why is there no mention of the destruction of the temple, if, indeed, Revelation was written in 90-something A.D. (after the destruction of the temple)? You have made many good points in various posts regarding the interpretation of Revelation. I appreciate your approach to the study of this book. Grace to you, Kalos |

And IF we are still under the law of tithing because God doesn't change, then we are still obligated to obey the other 612 commands in the Law of Moses, are we not? You can't have it both ways. Grace to you, John |
