1 | Defend the Offender-Attack the Offended? | Bible general | srbaegon | 241666 | ||
Hello, Has someone truly caused you offense, or are you feeling the sting of sharp correction? Christians are called to restrict the gifts in others when the use of that gift is unseemly. The apostle Paul sharply corrected the believers in Corinth for the way they conducted themselves according to their gifts: there was chaos that needed to be set in order. Steve |

3 | God Became Man to Redeem You | Heb 1:3 | srbaegon | 238956 | ||
Having thus discoursed about the divine nature, he moves to human matters to bring out the mystery of the divine plan.... He is the Son of the Father, who is one with the begetter, the creator and governor of all things, who reveals in himself the Father, and who by becoming man procured our salvation. Though most high he humbled himself, and though God, he became man. It was not that being humble he exalted himself, or being man he was made God. Rather on the one hand, as God he was always Lord of all, and on the other, as man he took to himself glory he had as God. He actually said as much in the sacred Gospels, "Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed" (John 17:5). He asked not to receive what he did not have, but for what he had to be revealed. Theodoret of Cyrus, “The Epistle to the Hebrews” |

4 | laid everything at apostle's feet | Acts 4:35 | srbaegon | 238766 | ||
Literally, this was where the gifts were left for the distribution. Figuratively, it explains that those bringing gifts for distribution were leaving them with the apostles and relinquishing any control over that distribution. Does this help? Steve |

5 | Christ's Sacrifice Reconciles | 2 Cor 5:19 | srbaegon | 238764 | ||
Therefore the Epistle [of Hebrews] is occupied to a great extent with the topic that the ancient priesthood and the ancient sacrifices were instituted not for the purpose of meriting the remission of sins before God or reconciliation, but only to signify the future sacrifice of Christ alone. For in the Old Testament it was necessary for saints to be justified by faith derived from the promise of the remission of sins that was to be granted for Christ's sake, just as saints are also justified in the New Testament. From the beginning of the world it was necessary for all saints to believe that Christ would be the promised offering and satisfaction for sins, as Isaiah 53:10 teaches: When you shall make His soul an offering for sin. Since, therefore, in the Old Testament, sacrifices did not merit reconciliation, unless by a figure (for they merited civil reconciliation), but signified the coming sacrifice, it follows that Christ is the only sacrifice applied on behalf of the sins of others. Therefore, in the New Testament no sacrifice is left to be applied for the sins of others, except the one sacrifice of Christ upon the cross. Apology of the Augsburg Confession XXIV.54-56 |

6 | SEEKING FOR THE TRUTH | 1 Kin 19:12 | srbaegon | 237802 | ||
Hello, We have prayers of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus in our Bibles to read. Let me direct you to the passage where Jesus instructed his disciples to pray--Matthew 6:7-14. Perhaps this will help answer the question. Steve |

7 | who are the 300 people | Judg 7:6 | srbaegon | 237801 | ||
Hello sondrastone, The most well-known account 300 are found in Judges 7. They are those who were fighting men chosen to fight with Gideon. Steve |

8 | Approach Scripture with Humility | Ps 119:18 | srbaegon | 237799 | ||
The Holy Scriptures require a humble reader who shows reverence and fear toward the Word of God and constantly says, "Teach me, teach me, teach me!" The Spirit resists the proud. Though they study diligently and some preach Christ purely for a time, nevertheless God excludes them from the church if they're proud. Therefore every proud person is a heretic, if not actually, then potentially. However, it's difficult for a man who has excellent gifts not to be arrogant. Those whom God adorns with great gifts he plunges into the most severe trials in order that they may learn that they're nothing. Paul got a thorn in the flesh to keep him from being haughty.… Pride drove the angel out of heaven and spoils many preachers. Accordingly it's humility that's needed in the study of sacred literature. Martin Luther, Table Talk 5017 |

9 | The Wall Is Down | Eph 2:14 | srbaegon | 237408 | ||
Souls born of God's fountain of goodness were detained in the world. There was a wall in their midst, a sort of fence, a partition made by the deceits of the flesh and worldly lusts. Christ by his own mystery, his passion, and his way of life destroyed this wall. He overcame sin and taught that it could be overcome. He destroyed the lusts of the world and taught that they ought to be destroyed. He took away the wall in the midst. It was in his own flesh that he overcame the enmity. The work is not ours; we are not called to set ourselves free. Faith in Christ is our only salvation. Marius Victorinus, Commentary on Ephesians |

10 | Christ's Unfathomable Goodness | Ps 145:7 | srbaegon | 237407 | ||
For when we had been created by God the Father, and had received from Him all manner of good, the devil came and led us into disobedience, sin, death, and all evil, so that we fell under His wrath and displeasure and were doomed to eternal damnation, as we had merited and deserved. There was no counsel, help, or comfort until this only and eternal Son of God in His unfathomable goodness had compassion upon our misery and wretchedness, and came from heaven to help us. Those tyrants and jailers, then, are all expelled now, and in their place has come Jesus Christ, Lord of life, righteousness, every blessing, and salvation, and has delivered us poor lost men from the jaws of hell, has won us, made us free, and brought us again into the favor and grace of the Father, and has taken us as His own property under His shelter and protection, that He may govern us by His righteousness, wisdom, power, life, and blessedness. Martin Luther, Large Catechism: Apostles' Creed, II.28-30 |

11 | Can church be anywhere | NT general | srbaegon | 237293 | ||
Hello, If you are asking if a group of believers can meet for worship in any location, the answer is yes. Instruction is given for leadership (1 Tim 3; Titus 1) and conduct (1 Cor 11-14), but location is optional. Steve |
||||||
12 | Vials and bowls revelation. | Rev 15:7 | srbaegon | 237291 | ||
Hello, The two words--bowl and vial--are referring to the same object. The difference depends on which translation of the Bible being used. Steve |

13 | Where did Cains wife come from? | Gen 4:17 | srbaegon | 237090 | ||
Hello, This has been answered several times before. Simply do a search for "Cain's wife" or for Gen 4:17. Steve |
||||||
14 | John 10:10 Who is responsible for death? | Rev 1:18 | srbaegon | 236810 | ||
Hello, God can never be credited with death. Man dies because of sin. Gen 2:16-17 - And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." Rom 5:12 - Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned... We cannot help but sin because each person is a sinner by nature, therefore we all die. Steve |

16 | What is 2 Thess. 2:1-12 telling us? | 2 Thess 2:1 | srbaegon | 236035 | ||
Hello Bammer, Stringing together a series of verses does not make anything clear. You need to make a reasoned explanation. Steve |
||||||
17 | Why did God allow Polygamy? | Gen 2:21 | srbaegon | 236033 | ||
Hello fmp, You seem to have veered away from the apostle Paul's use of "falling from grace" in Gal 5:4. There he is not speaking of committing certain types or a quantity of sin which puts us over the limit. Rather he is saying that those who take circumcision are actually moving from belief to disbelief, are therefore utterly cut off from Christ and unable to repent (see Heb 6:4-6). Steve |

20 | Prepared for Spiritual Warfare | Eph 6:15 | srbaegon | 235838 | ||
For the secular contest men are trained and prepared, and reckon it a great glory of their honor if it should happen to them to be crowned in the sight of the people, and in the presence of the emperor. Behold a lofty and great contest, glorious also with the reward of a heavenly crown, inasmuch as God looks upon us as we struggle, and, extending His view over those whom He has condescended to make His sons, He enjoys the spectacle of our contest. God looks upon us in the warfare, and fighting in the encounter of faith; His angels look on us, and Christ looks on us. How great is the dignity, and how great the happiness of the glory, to engage in the presence of God, and to be crowned, with Christ for a judge! Let us be armed, beloved brethren, with our whole strength, and let us be prepared for the struggle with an uncorrupted mind, with a sound faith, with a devoted courage. Cyprian, To the People of Thibaris, Exhorting to Martyrdom, Epistle 55.8 |
