1 | Need study guides for Daniel and Matthew | Daniel | rferg | 73954 | ||
Greetings Chusrcik, I found this web-site on the book of Danil in the favorites in my computer at work. I thought it was wonderful! It is so easy to understand. It gives scripture to back up questions and you just click on the line and the verse or chapter appears. Hope this is a help to you. www.tagnet.org/anotheviewpoint/Daniel/01.htm |

4 | God/Man, Man/Man Relationships | Gen 3:8 | rferg | 71964 | ||
Why does the bible seem to contradict itself regarding the commandments of God? The contreversey is that we are no longer under the law and the Ten Commandments were under the law. The book of Galatians seems to be speaking of the law of circumcision but Roman's I'm not quit so sure. I can't get a clear understanding and when I get answers there seems to be other scriptures that contradict the ones I received (in the "Christian" Church.) The Ten Commandments teach us how to love God and our neighbor. The first 4 teach us how we are to love God the last 6 teach us how to love our neighbor. It would seem to me that these laws are spiritual (from beginning to end) but I don't have scripture to prove it. Why would God do away with the law's that teach us to love? There doesn't seem to be any burden in them. There is nothing that says do not touch, do not taste, works or sacrifices. The NT quotes them many times and the book of Rev. says 3 different times that Christ is returning for a church that keeps the commandments and the testimony of Jesus Christ. This contridicts that the Ten Commandments are not in effect because they are under the law. I continuelly hear we are saved by grace. Grace is God's unmerritted favor. The Father sent His Son to die for the penalty of our sin's, that's the grace we are saved by. He loved us when we were still sinners. Because we are saved by grace, does this mean we don't have to obey God? It's like being saved by grace is some kind of doctrine. I know that the covenant of the Rainbow is still in effect today. Is it possible that the Ten Commandments are a covenant seperate from the law and still in effect today? Thank for your help. |

Greeting! You know the answer to this question. And sense you are having these sinful thoughts you need to repent and tell your husband (shed light on the darkness). Remove yourself from this person or the devil will use him to destroy your life. In these situation the lust becomes stronger and stronger and what you wouldn't have ever done you will find yourself doing. I will keep you in my prayers. |

Tim Can you explain to me who Jesus set's at the right hand of His Father when their is only ONE GOD? Either, Jesus is God or His Father is! And since there is only ONE GOD, and you say God is Jesus then who is the Father? |

8 | How many Pastor's are preaching to he lo | NT general Archive 1 | rferg | 71539 | ||
Then they don't need a music leader that bad! If you have a lawn and on one side the gardener gets paid and then you are trying to find another gardner to do it for free when he knows the other get paid would you do it for free? That's the problem in the church. Everyone see's these pastor's getting large salaries and brand new usually expensive cars not to mention vacations, food exp., book exp. on and on and so they want some of the money too. |

Pasator's should lead by example. Jesus the appostles and disciples did and they didn't do it for money. I don't give my tithes an offerings with the idea that I'm paying someone to do my job (witnessing to the lost). I give my tithes and offering so it can be used to take care of the widows, feed the poor or take care of the needs of anyone in the body first and the prisioner. I also expect the money to be used in study material to help us who are Christians learn to read and study our bibles, not having to pay to get taught the Word through selling us books, tapes or video's. This is what the bible says to do with our money. I don't see where it says to spend millions of dollars on buildings, salaries and programs do you? As long as I have been a Christian in Church I have never heard any Pastor ask if there is any widow who needed to be taken care of, have you? I don't know of any widows taken care of financially by the church. But I know many pastor's who extreme salaries that could be used to spread the gospel. One of the biggest waste of money I see spent in the church is on the "Music Pastor's". There are so many tallented music people in the world and when they love music you don't have to pay them to lead worship in church. P.S I expect Pastor's to do a good day's work for there pay. People work hard to pay tithes which support their salaries instead of writing books, taking vacations, playing golf etc. Remember I live in California. |

That's not my point. They probably tell less sinners about Jesus than the lay person. There are less sinners in Church than outside. I never hear or see a preacher out in public preaching the gospel do you. But in the work place I have seen and heard people tellin others about Jesus. These big buildings, programs, and big salary's paid to Pastor's are not getting the lost saved! | ||||||

13 | Need to understand the Trinity... | Bible general Archive 1 | rferg | 71499 | ||
The word Trinity is not in the bible even though it is used to discribe a tri-une God. I don't know about understanding the "trinity" as the church as tried to understand it but I do understand the "Family of God" being the Abba Father, Jesus Christ the Son of God and the Holy Spirit of God. ONE FAMILY OF GOD. I'm a child of God who has studied this subject for years earnestly seeking the truth not what a denomination believes. I have been persecuted, ridiculed, etc. God is reavealing truth to those who seek Him in the last days. | ||||||

15 | what is the purpose of the resurrection? | NT general Archive 1 | rferg | 71497 | ||
Greetings Emmaus, I was asking a question. You didn't answer it. The questions you asked me are way over my head. But you did reffer to the spirit as the (soul). I was under the understanding that we are a three part being, body, soul and spirit. The soul is the mind, will and emotions. I believe they do die when the physical body dies. That's are personality and we die it dies. Sorry this is where I am on this subject. |

16 | John 1:1 and the word was a god | John 1:1 | rferg | 71496 | ||
Good day Tim, I appreciate your point of view. But this is the same type of information one denomination after another has given the body of Christ for years and it doesn't make sense or add up. Your average person doesn't know greek or hewbrew and all the other information you wrote to prove your right. And frankly my mind is to small to comprehend that "being someone" and "with someone" are the same. But maybe you need to be a Pastor, super spiritual or a student of Greek and Hebrew. I agree with your first paragraph completely. In the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John they all start by proving the diety of Jesus Christ, that He is God (the Son) and that He (Jesus the Son) came from God (His Father-Abba Father is His name). Many scriptures seem to be comfusing because we keep trying to make them say something they don't, to prove the rightness of the denomination we are in. I'm not speaking to you but to all religious groups. Are we trying to prove the denomination we are in right or find the truth for ourselves? I have a different approach. You probably haven't heard this before so don't get to hasty. Just think it through. I have a limited education and have sought the answer to the truth about the trinity for years. I prayed and ask God to help me understand so I could love something or someone who was real to me. I recieved this word picture so to speak. I took a piece of paper and drew a line down the middle, on the left side I wrote earthly family on the right side I wrote Heavenly family, which stood for spiritual family. On the left I wrote the names of all the people in our family. Then I wrote the name of the Father God, Jesus -Son of God and the Holy Spirit of God, one on top of the other. Then I circled the last names in our earthly family and then the name "God" which was after the Abba, Jesus and Holy Spirit. After seeing this I asked myself a few questions. We have 5 members in our family and we are ONE family even though we have many members. There is a chain of command and we all have different functions. In our earthly family we are all born with the same nature (sinful) until we are baptized into the body of Christ. Then I asked myself the same questions about the Heavenly family. They (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit) are "ONE GOD" (one family) with more than one member. They have the same nature (righteous) there is a chain of command, the Father is superior to the Son but they have different functions. Like the earthly family their family can also be added to when we are born again we are now children of God (family of God). No, I'm not saying we are God's. I'm saying we now have the righteousness of Jesus Christ and being transformed each day. When we see the word God, Lord, HE, I used we should ask ourselves God who? We see them seperately at times and collectively (all together) Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) created the heavens and the earth. Prov.8:22 The Lord (Father) possessed me (Jesus) at the beginning of His way, Before His (the Fathers) works of old. 23 From everlasting I (Jeus the Son) was established. From the beginning, from the earlies of times of the earth. 24 When there were no depths I (Jesus) was brought forth, When there were no springs abounding with water. 25 Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills I (Jesus) was brought forth;26 While He (Father) had not yet made the earth and the fields, Nor the first dust of the world. 27 When He (Father) established the heavens I (Jesus) was there, When He (the Father)inscribed a circle on the face of the deep, 28 When He (Father) made firm the skies above, When the springs of the deep became fixed, 29 When He (the Father) set for the sea its boundary, So that the water shold not transgress His (Fathers) command, When He (Father) marked out the foundations of the earth; 30 Then I (Jesus) was beside Him (The Father), as a master workman; And I (Jesus his Son) was daily His (Fathers) delight, Rejoicing alsways before Him (His Father), 31 Rejoicing in the world, His earth, And having my (Jesus') delight in the sons of men. Apply this same principal to John 1:1 and it will make perfect sense. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Who was the Word? John1:14 (Jesus the Son of God) and Word (Jesus the Son of God) was with God. God who? His Father God. John1:2 He was in the beginning with God. Who was He (Jesus) was in the beginning with God. God who? His Father. When Jesus is baptized the heavens are open and the Father says this is my Son whom I am well pleased and the Holy Spirit ascends upon Him (Jesus) as a dove. Here we see all three seperately. This is so simple and not confusing (God is not a God of confustion) anyone could understand it even a child. It follows suit through out the bible and makes hundreds of other scriptures make simple sense. Sincerely |

18 | Are the Ten Commandments a Covenant | Matt 22:34 | rferg | 71471 | ||
Are you saying then commandments the bible is reffering to is the Ten Commandments? The first 4 teach us to love God and the last 6 teac us to love our neighbor. All the law would hang on these two commandments? Wasn't the Ten Commandments a Covenant? Many covenants from the OT are still in effect, such as the Rainbow. Could this covenant still be in effect? | ||||||
19 | How many Pastor's are preaching to he lo | NT general Archive 1 | rferg | 71470 | ||
My question is out of the 28 full time pastors how many are amongst the lost preaching the gospel. Jesus, the apostles and the discipes all witnessed to the lost that's why they were saved. Mos people on Sunday mornings are saved (a few with exception.) The lost are not in the church. When are Pastor's going to start fulfilling their jobs? This church can obviously afford a 7 mil dollar building project with no problem so I am sure it can afford to support very widow in a hunred mile radious, not to mention 70,000 per month on food for the poor and needy at the church first, right. |

20 | what is the purpose of the resurrection? | NT general Archive 1 | rferg | 71465 | ||
Where in any of these scriptures does it specifically state the spirit remains alive after the physical death? For what purpose would it stay alive? If we were delivered to eternal life or punishment at the time of death why would there be a need for Christ to return or the reserrection? 1Thes. 4:13- But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethern, about those ho are asleep(died) that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have no hope.14 For if we beieve that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep (died) in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, and remain until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede (go before) those who have fallen asleep (died).16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangle, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Chist shall rise first. 17 Then we that are alive and remain shall be causght up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus shall always be with the Lord. 18 Comfort one another with these words. |
