1 | WHO pays the wage? | 1 John 1:9 | winged1 | 134313 | ||
1 Corinthians 3:12-15 "If any man builds on this foundation using wood, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be reveled with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. if it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping thorugh the flames." I wonder if this passage could clear up the confusion for us. There's salvation, which is once and for all through Jesus Christ. And then there is the lifetime of works, for which we are given rewards separate to our salvation, because the man in the passage was still saved, although saved with not much to show for it, like a man saved from a burning building. However the good workers got rewards, again seperate from their salvation. Now I could be understanding this passage entirely wrong. I pray that the original meaning is revealed to us through the Holy Spirit on the subject. God bless Jo |

2 | Medical synopsis of Jesus' death? | Not Specified | winged1 | 134293 | ||
Once in high school our Bible teacher showed us an article about the medical rundown of Jesus' injuries and cause of death on the cross. It was extremely to the fact and quite gruesome. It was based on common Roman execution practice at that time and the words of the gospels themselves. I wondered if anyone knows where I can find this again. I've tried asking my old teacher, but I can't get ahold of him. Jo |

5 | What does unequally yoked mean? | 2 Cor 6:14 | winged1 | 134205 | ||
I thank you, Hank, for answering. I see your points and acknowledge them as truth. It's just so hard to argue day after day and have my beliefs shot down by superior logic. My friends will never mock me, I think, for what I believe, but I continously sense this confusion, like they think me a fool to believe. When my main proof is the Bible, which they don't believe, any time I use the Bible to defend my position is lost. Between moral apathy and relativism, I'm not gaining any ground. I feel like what I'm doing is worthless. I know it's not, but it is discouraging nevertheless. Jo |

6 | What does unequally yoked mean? | 2 Cor 6:14 | winged1 | 134187 | ||
Now I've heard this verse before many times. But why exactly is it wrong, or won't work, or is difficult? I quoted this verse to someone at college and they said things like, "As long as the non-Christian respects the other's commitment to Christ" and "People in a relationship with two different faiths can learn from each other" and more of the same. And how about casual relationships that aren't marriage? I know part of their arguments are humanistic and relativist. But I need an answer they'll respect. One that doesn't make Christians out to be exclusionary. Thanks! Jo |

7 | is the seed non-human? | Dan 2:43 | winged1 | 133699 | ||
I apologize, Misty. I did not mean to imply that you did not use a valid method for interpreting Scripture. BradK asked you a question and I jumped in, hoping for some information. I just wasnted to know if there was some commonly used methods of interpretation that I could use as a reference. Please forgive me for making it seem like you were not interested in interpreting the Bible correctly. I know that no interpretation made by fallen man will be perfect. God bless Jo |

8 | is the seed non-human? | Dan 2:43 | winged1 | 133599 | ||
Hey, BradK I don't know about Misty, but I would absolutely love to know the principles of Biblical Interpretation. Especially with some of my non-Christian friends pounding me on all sides saying things like, "how do you know it means that", or "how do you know that that law no longer applies", or "that's only your interpretation". Some guidelines would make it a little easier. God bless Jo |

9 | Isn't 24 more than one? | Acts 2:38 | winged1 | 133536 | ||
Hello Tim and Rowdy I remember a speaker coming to my school for Spiritual Emphasis Week who really explained this one story to us. The story is found in Mark 5:21-34. Jesus was going to heal the young girl and the woman with the bleeding condition touches him and is healed. Now Mark says that she just touched his clothes, but Matthew says "the edge of his cloak". Now what the speaker told us was that women in this condition were unclean. When she touched Jesus, a rabbi, she made him unclean, so according to the law he would have to cleanse himself before praying or doing anything like that. Not only that, but she grabbed his prayer shawl, because there was a tradition that the tassels on the Messiah's prayer shawl would heal. She believed that he was the Messiah, and she put her whole trust for her health and really for her normal adult life in his relationship with his father, symbolized by his prayer shawl. Her uncleanness is transferred to him. By doing so, she could be severly punished, I'm not sure if that means she could be stoned. In another place, Jesus chastens the Pharisees and scribes for making their tassels so long, so as to suggest that they might be the Messiah or could heal people. When Jesus asks who did it, she "told him the whole truth". She trembles, but she confesses her faith in him, and her trust in his power. Then Jesus says "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from her suffering." Now the way I feel the Lord has lead me for a while now is there is belief and there is faith. The difference is that a person can believe that Jesus and all he did was true, but unless he trusts himself to God, unless he "throws his whole weight on" God's promise. Unless he risks his soul by entrusting it to Jesus' work, he is not saved. So when Satan and his fallen angels believe, it is of this first kind, I think. The kind of belief that gets us saved is the kind that is willing to take Christ at his word and seek salvation from no other. I don't know if this distinction will help the discussion at hand, but it may be edifying anyway. God bless and may He speak through this forum Jo |

10 | who named the angels | Bible general Archive 2 | winged1 | 133447 | ||
Luke 1:26 "In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town is Galilee" Revelation 12:7 "And there was a great war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back" Gabriel's name comes from the Bible and not from human tradtition. So does Michael. Usually, Gabriel serves as a messenger whenever he is mentioned. Michael seems to be a general of some sort, but that's only my opinion. Hope this helps, God bless Jo |

11 | What did you mean by "others"? | 2 Cor 6:14 | winged1 | 133338 | ||
Hi, Angel Ok, I figured that it had to be it. It just confused me for a second before it occured to me to ask for clarification. Thanks and God bless Jo |

12 | What did you mean by "others"? | 2 Cor 6:14 | winged1 | 133271 | ||
Hey, just a quick clarification, please. When you said, "Yahweh is a jealous God and He did not allow His people to share His Glory with others," does "others" refer to other nations or peoples or rather to other gods? Excellent points, btw God bless Jo |

13 | Why did the Savior Dread the Cup? | Matt 26:38 | winged1 | 133216 | ||
Very well put. I found another passage that relates. Deut. 21:23 you must not leave his body on the tree overnight. Be sure to bury him that same day, because anyone who is hung on a tree is under God's curse. You must not desecrate the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance. I don't know what being judged by God is like (praise dear sweet Jesus) but He was judged with God's full wrath for the sins of the world. If earthquakes, hurricanes, and hailstorms are part of God's wrath, His full wrath must be unbearable, even if we did not see it other than in Jesus' anguish. In fact, Jesus was the only one who could bear it and rise again. God bless all Jo |

14 | Is Is.28:7-13 a prophecy? | Is 28:13 | winged1 | 133123 | ||
I was wondering if the passage Isaiah 28:7-13 could be prophecy for the habit of the Pharisees to include the traditions and interpretations of the law as part fo the law itself. It seems to say that the priests and teachers were drunken and negligent so that they allowed errors to creep into the law, misinterpretations and additions. So God teaches the people with commoners and foreigners. But he allows the addition of the law as a stumbling block to the foolish people who alloed it in the first place. Incidentally, how can we apply this passage today? God bless Jo |

15 | Please pray for my friend? | James 5:16 | winged1 | 133023 | ||
My friend is back in his dorm and back in his classes again. Thanks to everyone who prayed for him. He seems fine, but of course, only God knows the heart. James 5:16 "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." Thanks again and God bless Jo |

16 | Please pray for my friend? | Not Specified | winged1 | 132825 | ||
I've got a major prayer request. Please inform me if this is a misuse of the site, but this is a big part of my life right now. One of my good friends purposely overdosed on perscription drugs. He went to the hospital and he's OK. I've been talking to him, and he seems OK emotionally. I had an enormous discussioin with him about the things of God, during which I quoted several Bible verses, which I know will never return void. Please pray for his health, spiritually and emotionally. I'll take this down in a day or two. Jo |

18 | Your screenname? | 1 Tim 2:9 | winged1 | 132594 | ||
Thank you Doc, it's much clearer now. Actually, I have heard of the Five Points of Calvinism in one of the Bible classes at my high school. The only way I can remember them is that they make the acronym "TULIP". :-) Not having gone to seminary, some of this thread frightened me a little because I know so little about doctrine. I know some of the heresies that the Bible mentions by name, but most of my knowledge about what I believe, although Biblically based, is a little disorganized in presentation. Thank you again, and I'm sorry I posted the question as a question instead of a note. Now I know better. God bless, Jo |

Oh, I am sorry. Thank you. I was indeed a little surprised when my questin showed up as an unanswered question. That does indeed make sense. God bless, Jo |

20 | How can I show the Bible is truth? | John 14:6 | winged1 | 132532 | ||
Thank you, but I think what I'm really looking for is, how can I prove the Bible is truth to someone who does not believe it? I can't use Scripture because that is suspect in his mind. I need a way to assert it's accuracy. | ||||||
