1	Answered	Matt 6:16	pixie	108652
	I think I found a satisfactory answer here on the post. Thanks.....Pixie
2	Purpose of fasting	Matt 6:16	pixie	108651
	I know about how important fasting is but can someome please explain what purpose it has? I know it's in obedience. I know it goes along with prayer but why are we told to do it. What is it doing to us spiritually? Thanks.....Pixie
3	Are the unevangelized people really lost	Rom 2:15	pixie	84296
	Thank you Moran, Ric and John Reformed, Although the Romans scripture sounds similar, the one I'm looking for was very clear in saying God judges by the persons conscience. It was so clear when I read it yet all I remember for sure is that it was in the last 1/3 of the new testament. It's interesting how God turns on the light sometimes and then turns it off again. As for God having mercy on whom He will, I understand that it refers to Him making some for good and some for bad. I can't believe that everyone (African tribes or Nomads of the Himalyas,etc) who has not heard the gospel was made for bad thereby being unable to receive His mercy. I'll keep looking for the verses I'm looking for and I'll let you all know. Thanks again.....Pixie
4	Are the unevangelized people really lost	Rom 2:15	pixie	83921
	I've been looking for a chapter that I read in the bible about 7 yrs ago which says something to the effect that those who have never heard of God or the gospel will be judged by their actions according to their conscience. In other words if they do something and their conscience tells them it's wrong to do it then God judges them because of what their conscience told them. If somebody does anything believing it is wrong then to him it is a sin. If anybody knows where in the bible I can find this please respond.....thanks....Pixie
5	Heaven	Matt 22:30	pixie	77804
	Good point Hank. I was just going to post that point. I know this is an old post but if I just ran across it then it will still be read in the future. Sex is not for pleasure although it can be pleasurable. Sex is for procreation. The reason that it is a pleasure to us is because if it weren't, would we procreate? Another point is that if we are not to have sex without marriage, how can we justify it in heaven if we are not married and are not given in marriage....Just a thought......Pixie
6	Would you please give scripture evidence	1 Cor 13:12	pixie	77803
	I have often wondered why those that were closest to our Lord didn't recognize Him. One reason could be that in those days men often wore their cloaks over their heads and it was not always easy to see the face unless looking directly into the man's face. It's possible that Jesus walked up along side the men on the road and watching His steps He never faced them. As for the others, perhaps He came up to them as they were crying. Often times people won't look up to see someone who's talking to them because they don't want anyone to see them crying. Maybe the tears blurred their vision. There are all kinds of reasons. I never thought about it as being a spiritual blindness but perhaps a little more study might make it clearer for me. ...God bless .....Pixie
7	One lamb per household	Ex 12:3	pixie	77802
	Thanks jlpangilinan. I will further study this subject. The reason I'm interested in this subject is because my husband recently died unexpectedly. I prayed for him for 11 yrs but never knew for sure if he ever accepted Christ. As all people who have lost someone there are many questions. I am looking these subjects up in the bible and ask opinions...thanks again...Pixie
8	One lamb per household	Ex 12:3	pixie	77795
	jlpangilinan, I think I had this problem with you once before. You misunderstood. THIS IS NOT MY LOGIC. This was simply A QUESTION. A question means that the person asking doesn't know or is not sure. It's not a statement of my beliefs. I'm not trying to prove logic. I'm trying to ask a question. We all know that the bible can be misinterpreted and so we must pray and compare all possibilities. I'm not vain enough to believe that I have all the answers and that everyones else is wrong. No one person or religion should say they are absolutely sure without checking all the facts and verses. As for Noah's family, If the family had been believers, wouldn't they have been following God's will? If so then why did God say that Noah was the only righteous one? As for confession. What of those who accept Christ at the last second of death and are unable to confess? As for Lot's wife. Did her belief or lack of belief have anything to do with her turning around or was it just that after she was already safe she followed her natural instincts to turn around and look? I'm not trying to argue. I'm looking for the truth.......thanks....Pixie
9	One lamb per household	Ex 12:3	pixie	77733
	Sorry, it's Rahab not Rachel
10	One lamb per household	Ex 12:3	pixie	77732
	Hi jlpangilinan, thanks for responding. I have found many verses in the bible that show that by the faith of one family member, the whole household was saved. Noah was the only person on earth that God found righteous yet He saved the whole household. Rachel alone put the scarlet thread in the window and her entire household was saved. Jesus is indeed our passover which is why I say that. Although the sacrifice from old testament to new has been changed. I know that the terms are not changed. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Perhaps this is a subject that needs further study......thanks.....Pixie
11	One lamb per household	Ex 12:3	pixie	77599
	Is Exodus 12:3 a promise that if one member of the household has accepted Christ as the Lamb of God, the whole household will accept Christ or is already covered? It states "One lamb for a household" thanks......Pixie
12	Flesh before eating the fruit	Gen 2:21	pixie	77358
	I have often heard that Adam and Eve were spirit until they ate of the fruit. Is this a common belief? If so how is it that God closed up the flesh in Adam's side?.......thanks.....Pixie
13	The name Jesus	John 1:1	pixie	75963
	Nolan, I feel the need to disagree with you. This should not be considered a "Bible Study Forum" for CHRISTIANS but simply a "Bible Study Forum" period. Your statement excludes all other religions as well as atheists and agnostics from a legitimate interest in what The bible has to say. Obviously all of the above groups have questions concerning God,Jesus,Bible, Trinity, Eternal life and Christianity in general. Where do you suppose they will go to find the answers but to christians. Please don't make them feel as if we aren't willing to help them to know the truth. I feel it's perfectly fine for them to ask without needing to state their beliefs. If they promote other religions we will be able to discern that and deal with it as The Spirit leads us but always in love.....God bless you....Pixie
14	I want to know more about suicide?	Ex 20:13	pixie	75950
	Dear Brother Joe, My prayers are with you. I have been fighting this same question and pain since Dec.2002. My husband died unexpectedly of a massive heart attack. He was only 55. I'd been praying for him for 11 yrs but I thought that when he accepted Christ I would know and we would finally be able to share the Christian life together. I keep asking God for a sign that my husband is in His care. I've not received a sign. At least I can't yet see it because I'm still grieving and in a daze. But one thing I do know is that God can work instantly. Perhaps Jesus appeared to him at the last nonosecond and said "will you come and follow me?" and he answered "yes" and then Jesus led him home. Picture a dedicated fireman who keeps going back into a burning building until he gets the last person to safety. If he loses just 1 person he is heartbroken. If a human can feel this way, how much more so will Jesus keep trying until He gets the last one to safety? Brother Joe, I told God that I would nag him until I get an answer so even if I want to give up on asking, I can't because I gave God my word. Don't stop asking. He will give you an answer because it seems that an answer will be the only thing that will comfort you. He wants so to comfort us. Ask Him, trust and wait.....my prayers are with you.....Pixie
15	prayers OF those who've passed on	John 14:6	pixie	75817
	Hi jlpangilinan, In the references you gave, couldn't the "dead" be referring to those who have died as unbelievers? As was pointed out by Emmaus in an earlier post, Rev. 6:9,10 the souls of those that were slain were in heaven asking for God to avenge their blood. Obviously they remembered what had happened. Please forgive me if this sounds argumentative. I'm sincerely trying to weigh the verses to come to the correct answer......thanks......Pixie
16	prayers OF those who've passed on	John 14:6	pixie	75815
	Emmaus, thank you for the references. In the Rev.6 reference. They are simply asking for justice for themselves, unless I misunderstood. And the Rev.5 and Rev. 8 reference doesn't state whether the angel held the prayers of the saints in heaven or of those on earth. Forgive me if I missed something. I didn't read the whole context. Thanks again...... Pixie
17	prayers OF those who've passed on	John 14:6	pixie	75707
	Although I appreciate the attempt to answer I think you missed the question or I didn't ask it correctly. I didn't ask about how to get to heaven. I already know that Jesus is the only way. I didn't ask about judgement. I asked if those who have passed on and are in the prescence of The Lord are able to pray for their loved ones that are left here on earth. For example: If a remaining loved one wasn't saved or had cancer or something else that we would normally pray for here, are the passed on loved ones still able to pray for them. Do they remember their loved ones that are left here.
18	prayers OF those who've passed on	Not Specified	pixie	75485
	Someone once told me that our loved ones who have passed on can pray for those of us that they've left behind. Is this part of heavenly worship? Do they remember us and their life here?
19	prayers OF those who've passed on	John 14:6	pixie	75497
	Someone once told me that our loved ones who have passed on can pray for those of us that they've left behind. Is this part of heavenly worship? Do they remember us and their life here?
20	Are the fruits only from God?	Gal 5:22	pixie	74610
	Thank you all who have responded to my pain. I know that we should trust God, and I do. So no matter what the answer is I know The Lord is a just God. But it sure would be a lot easier to believe that my husband will be standing next to me when I look into the eyes of Jesus......thanks.....Pixie
