1	Why did Jesus condemn the Pharisees	Matt 23:13	philemcc	87134
	John 5:41"I do not accept praise from men, 42but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. 43I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. 44How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God 45"But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. 46If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. 47But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?" Philemcc
2	How to deal with death?	Matt 5:4	philemcc	86895
	When my son died unexpectedly I found these two verses very helpful. Mat5: 4Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Rom8: 28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. It was through prayer that these verses became real to me, as Jesus told the woman at the well, “The water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." Philemcc
3	Searching for the truth	Is 43:2	philemcc	85037
	The Earth was not totally destroyed, the righteous were saved. 1 Peter 3 20who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, 21and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also--not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge[1] of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, What this means is, as surly as the wicked will be destroyed, the righteous will be saved. 2 Peter 3 6By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. These verses give the believer hope in a hopeless world Isaiah 43 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. philemcc
4	J. Preston Eby?	2 Cor 11:4	philemcc	82983
	Norrie I don't know who Mr. Eby is but I know what the Bible says!!! Rev 20: 10And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever..... 15If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. and then in 2 Peter 2: 1But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping. philemcc
5	Is this verse referring to Christians	Luke 12:47	philemcc	81656
	Jesus' answer to Peter's question by asking a question, "Who is the faithful and wise manager?" He is pointing out that all people will be held responsible for their actions (what they believe). Paul expressed this same idea in: Rom 2:6 God "will give to each person according to what he has done." 7To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. philemcc
6	Are any of us are right??	1 Cor 1:10	philemcc	81511
	Are any of us are right?? Mat 19: 16Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?" 17"Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments." philemcc
7	Why is important to worship god in life?	Rom 1:17	philemcc	81508
	God is the source of all life, to not worship Him is to deny this and separate oneself from life. ROM 1: 17For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." God's Wrath Against Mankind 18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. philemcc
8	Know How He Has Purposed You In Him	Eph 1:1	philemcc	79085
	Let me add that there is a wide gap from where we were…. Rom 3: 10As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; 11there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. 12All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one." To where we are…. Rom 5: 1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. And how we can be living….. Heb 11: 15If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16Instead, they were longing for a better country--a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them. philemcc
9	When does God forgive me?	Rom 3:1	philemcc	79024
	God has not only forgiven us… Rom 8: 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. But also peace in our heart….. Rom 5: 1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And a new birth into a living Hope…. 1 Peter 1: 3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in heaven for you, 5who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7These have come so that your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. philemcc
10	Belief in God?	James 2:19	philemcc	78991
	Let me add to the discussion, these people had knowledge of and a belief in God….. Mat 7: 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' What was the difference between them and Abraham whose faith resulted in His righteousness….. Gal 3: 6Consider Abraham: "He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." philemcc
11	Disciplerami, I have a question	James 2:19	philemcc	78949
	Disciplerami, I have a question The Jew’s, according to the notes in this verse in John, “They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants[ 8:33 Greek seed; also in verse 37] and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?"” considered themselves to be Abraham’s seed. Now according to, “ Gal 3: 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.” We are Abraham’s seed. In a previous post you wrote, “If you believe men are depraved, then you have to believe that the Cross of Jesus Christ and the Glory of Creation are ineffectual at changing anyone. The only change possible, according to such types, is with a miraculous intervention at an elected time in the person's life. That is if you believe the other side.” Now my question is this, when did I or you become Abraham’s seed? When we were first born or during a miraculous intervention at an elected time in our lives? philemcc
12	How does eternal security build faith?	Rev 3:5	philemcc	78947
	Gracefull (sounds like a name from pilgrims progress) We are splitting hairs here, I agree that we as the children of God should not live in fear, but I also know that fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. My problem with the doctrine of eternal security is its misuse, not that it does not provide security for the believer. The church is warned about false prophets and teachers in 1 Timothy, 2 Peter, 1 John, Jude and Revelations. In Ephesians we are told to put on the full armor of God so that you can take you stand against the devil’s schemes. My concerns is the same as Paul’s in …. Gal 4: 8Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods. 9But now that you know God--or rather are known by God--how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? 10You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! 11I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you…. 17Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you from us, so that you may be zealous for them. Now I understand that these verses could be used to argue either point of view, that we are eternally secure and need to add nothing to the Gospel or that we could loose everything we have gained by adding works. I think the answer is the clear teaching of the truth which includes the dangers and pitfalls of false teaching. And endless debate over which position is right serves no purpose and I am now asking myself why I responded to your post since I basically agree with what you said. philemcc
13	The 3 witnesses of 1 John 5:7-8?	1 John 5:16	philemcc	78931
	His miraculous birth – the water His miraculous death – the blood His resurrection -- the Spirit This is God’s testimony which he has given about His Son. When we believe this testimony than, this is the victory that has overcome the world. 1 John 5: 10Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. This is how I understand the meaning here philemcc
14	Do inalienable rights include salvation?	Rom 1:24	philemcc	78928
	The original question was about inalienable rights, those that could not be lost or taken away, those a US citizens has under the constitution as an example. We are not born with any rights in regards to God. This is the problem Job was faced with, why was life so unfair, as an example his remarks in chapter 23. What he discovered is that life was not about himself, but about God! Job 42: 4 "You said, 'Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.' 5 My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. 6 Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes." Now the socialist point of view is that everything has rights, animals, trees, the environment, the creation, etc. As God explained to me, none of us ever had any rights period. The Kingdom of God is a theocracy and He is Lord of Lords, King of Kings. Rom 9: 13Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated." 14What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 15For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."…… 19One of you will say to me: "Then why does God still blame us? For who resists his will?" 20But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?' " 21Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use? 22What if God, choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath--prepared for destruction? Hope this answers your question -- Do inalienable rights include salvation? philemcc
15	Was Jesus Rich?	Is 53:2	philemcc	78851
	No, he told those who wanted to follow Him… Mat 8: 20Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." The profit Isaiah described Him this way… Isaiah 53: 2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. 3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. philemcc
16	did He die for you also?	Matt 24:14	philemcc	78847
	I would think that anyone who limited salvation to a Roman empire that they would have to define, would be very narrow minded. This would start a whole new theological debate. What constitutes the modern Roman empire, hence who is included or how could one become a citizen in good standing? Is this group of people determined by geography or heritage? It could go on and on in endless debate which would accomplish absolutely nothing except establish some as the undisputed authority over something of no importance. We, you and I and other believers, have a responsibility to be inclusive in our relationship to others, you know salt, light, love one another and all that stuff. We don’t have to prove others wrong we only need to do what Jesus said, “But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself." We only need to say, “Jesus died for me did He die for you?” philemcc
17	Is lifting His name related to this vs?	John 12:32	philemcc	78844
	We are not told to do it,, God has already... Phil 2:8And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross! 9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, philemcc
18	Is "the whole world" localized/ global?	Matt 24:14	philemcc	78843
	Searcher, why are you asking this question, you know the answer??? All men is just that, all men.... 1 Tim 2:1I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-- 2for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time. 7And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles. philemcc
19	getting started over again	Rom 8:28	philemcc	78841
	It is never to late to start, over or otherwise. The book of Romans gives us God's plan of redemption from A to Z philemcc
20	Do inalienable rights include salvation?	Rom 1:24	philemcc	78833
	According to Webster inalienable means: incapable of being alienated, surrendered, or transferred and rights means: something to which one has a just claim: as a : the power or privilege to which one is justly entitled. I would have to say no because of….. Rom 2: 1You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment? 4Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance? 5But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. 6God "will give to each person according to what he has done." philemcc
