1 | what does "falling away" mean? | Heb 6:6 | richilou_2003 | 106277 | ||
First of all, we have to be clear in our mind as to what this passage means. The letter to the Hebrews was written to a group of Jews that was truly christian, but being tempted to go back to their former religion, that is Judaism. The point, therefore, for the author, is to warn them lovingly that there is not a greater sin to think that salvation in Christ would not be the better solution for our eternity. It is in the same line that we should understand a bit further in the epistle the passsage of 10.26 and following. Now, concerning your lethargy that you seem to live, we must be honest. Probably God is talking powerfully to you by that. He expresses His holy character showing you the great sadness it caused to Him in backsliding in your life. But the fact is that there is encouragement however. Just to think that you want to be repentant, is a sign that you have not been rejected by God. If you read well the verse, repentance seemed to be impossible for them. But for you, repentance seems to be the way you are on the inside. So, keep on seeking God and He will surely lead you in the full recovery. Do not forget in conclusion, that while David had to bear on his shoulders the consequences of his sin against Bath-Scheeba and her husband, he was nevertheless forgiven by God. | ||||||
2 | Bible to be taken literally? | Matthew | richilou_2003 | 106276 | ||
I am not sure I understand well your question. | ||||||
3 | 1 corinthians 14:34 | NT general Archive 1 | richilou_2003 | 81717 | ||
The problem is not that Paul was against the participation of women in the church. How could we think that way when we read 1 Cor. 11.5 that says that woman has the right to pray being veiled. The point of Paul is that women, in that time, have no opportunity to study and to be educated as men could. Therefore, the word was given to men in the teaching ministry in order to maintain that standard of authority as well as of order. Moreover, when we see the place of Priscila in the book of Acts we see another place where a woman had the right to be very active in the local church. | ||||||
4 | Do Jesus and Paul agree on salv by faith | NT general Archive 1 | richilou_2003 | 81716 | ||
I think that you should read some different passages in the light of their context. For example, when Paul said that salvation was by faith and not by works (Eph. 2.8-9) was it to mean that James contradicted his brother in Jesus when he said that salvation was not only by faith, but by works too (James 2.24)? No. The problem is resolved when we ask to ourselves questions like: "To whom he is speaking"? "What was his purpose when he wrote that way"? You'll find easier to understand the would-be discrepancies that seem to be in the texts. But Jesus is in full harmony with all other texts (Paul, Hebrews, James, Peter, etc.). The point is to find out what the purpose is. | ||||||
5 | Explain john19:30A cry of triumph | NT general Archive 1 | richilou_2003 | 81715 | ||
I think that many things could be said about it. But, because the original words (in greek) are "TETELESTAĆ" the concept is that a total payment has been done in full by the death of Christ. When Jesus said "All is finished" or "all is accomplished", we must understand that the main purpose of God in sending His Son on earth has been done completely. | ||||||
6 | What is 'the fruit of the vine'? | Matt 26:29 | richilou_2003 | 73918 | ||
Good point! | ||||||
7 | What is 'the fruit of the vine'? | Matt 26:29 | richilou_2003 | 73917 | ||
I think that you are right thinking that in that time wine was more than likely the product used. | ||||||
8 | commune in God's Kingdom with Christ? | Matt 26:29 | richilou_2003 | 73916 | ||
Of course we will have time of nearness with Him. But is it another literal communion as we know it today? I think not. I think rather that what He was alluding to is that it was another way of saying that because it was His last supper, the next with His disciples would be only in another dimension, that is eternity. | ||||||
9 | Danial's afe lion's den? | Daniel | richilou_2003 | 73915 | ||
There are many ideas on that subject. But I can that all we can say is that he was not too young. | ||||||
10 | Anti Christ? Is America Babylon or Iraq? | Daniel | richilou_2003 | 73914 | ||
Good point! | ||||||
11 | Anti Christ? Is America Babylon or Iraq? | Daniel | richilou_2003 | 73913 | ||
I would add it again. Paul advised the elders of Ephesus to be ready to teach all the counsel of God, whereas Dr. Lahaye tries to teach too much on one subject for many years. | ||||||
12 | Anti Christ? Is America Babylon or Iraq? | Daniel | richilou_2003 | 73912 | ||
Good point dear friend. I find myself that in such a nebulous subject this man (Lahaye) is, according to me, out of track. Prophecy is first of all, maybe the most difficult subject to investigate with precision. Therefore, to be too prolific in writing on that issue is for me already a good sign to be suspicious about all this stuff. Unfortunately, there is a public for that kind of material. | ||||||
13 | Anti Christ? Is America Babylon or Iraq? | Daniel | richilou_2003 | 73911 | ||
If I may add something to that, I know that the Dr. John MacArthur said one day that it would be possible to interpret the Babylon of Rev. 18 as an economic power. Therefore, though USA is one, we could say that some other countries could be placed in that category as well. For this reason it is very difficult to be too much dogmatic on this issue. The Bible being not fully clear on some passages, many times it is only the unfolding of history that tells us what it is. Keep on praying to be open, but at the same time, God is the Only One who knows what is what? which is which? and who is who? in this nebulous matter. | ||||||
14 | Bible verses needed, for lying 14 yr old | Prov 1:1 | richilou_2003 | 72824 | ||
I think that just the fact to say that Jesus Christ requires a heart like a child, your daughter would be able to see herself as understood by God, therefore will be able to understand more than you could think. | ||||||
15 | what book is full of wise sayings | Prov 1:1 | richilou_2003 | 72823 | ||
In fact, if you want a precise book, I would say that Proverbs is one. But in the whole scope of the Bible, the 66 books that compose it, we could say without any shadow of doubt that the Bible itself is THE Book. | ||||||

No one is less important, because they have their place in their very context for a specific purpose of the author. | ||||||
17 | when did Jesus go to Hades? | Bible general Archive 1 | richilou_2003 | 71578 | ||
My dear friend, It is a matter of the interpretation of the text. If by "hades" you mean "Hell", I don't think that Scriptures teach such a thing at all. |

18 | Diffrent between Catolic -protestant | Bible general Archive 1 | richilou_2003 | 71577 | ||
Have you ever learned that Catholicism of the first century was not to be compared to the actual one? I think that is where you err in your evaluation of the authority of Scriptures in the background of Catholicism. By the way, the word "catholic" itself is not a dangerous word at all, because it means "universal". So, in one sense, the real christian is member of the Catholic church, but not the Roman Catholic Church where the Pope is the authority, whereas in the New Testament, the only ultimate authority of the Church on earth is Christ (Eph. 5), even though He is in heaven now. | ||||||

The only thing I can say is, whether you are a catholic yourself, or you are a christian who thinks understand catholicism in all its doctrines. My friend, concerning the way to get baptism in our death, it is one thing to say what the councils said, but where is the biblical support for all that stuff? And for the rest of what you said, just look at the passages of the Bible I quoted and give me another biblical interpretation of these, not by what Catholic Church has already said, but founded on the word of God alone. In fact, the person asked what were the differences between Catholics and Protestants. You have just well displayed what it is. The catholics use their writings whereas Protestants (evangelical ones) use the Bible, period. Read 2 John 9 and you'll understand what I mean. Sincerely |

20 | Diffrent between Catolic -protestant | Bible general Archive 1 | richilou_2003 | 71494 | ||
The term "christian" is nowadays a very broad term that doesn't mean really what it meant in the beginning of the Church. Catholics have nothing to do with the salvation presented in the Bible. They believe in Jesus Christ, yes, but at the same time, they believe in a salvation by works, which is completely condemned by the apostle Paul in Ephesians 2.8-10. Their system is hypocritical without realizing it fully themselves. So, for instance, they say that baptism is a key to enter the family of God. I ask you a question: "Have you ever noticed that, on the cross, one of the criminals who was crucified with Jesus, has been saved by his conversion, and no baptism has never been done for him. Moreover, Mary has a great place in the catholic theology because she is seen a mediator between men and Jesus, but the apostle Paul, once again, refutted this concept, when he said that there was only one mediator between God and man and it was Jesus Christ (1 Tim. 2.5-7). Think about that... | ||||||
