1 | An interesting look at John 3:5 | Bible general Archive 4 | ChildofGod1988 | 200787 | ||
I have a interesting verse/interpretation problem that has been given to me. I would like to get some perspective on this. It pertains to John 3:5 when Jesus says " Unless one is born of water and spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God." A friend had an interesting, and to be honest alarming, way of looking at this. He almost seemed to imply that it was contradictory with the rest of the chapter and what we read elsewhere about salvation. Because I feel that Jesus was referring to a Physical(water) birth and then a Spiritual rebirth, I assumed it was misinterpretation of an example of Jesus use of parables and metaphor to describe something in lay mens terms. What do you guys think. Oh and this is hopefully to be the first of MANY posting on this forum. God Bless for He reigns Amen. |

2 | The 6th commandment | Bible general Archive 4 | ChildofGod1988 | 201137 | ||
I have always understood the 6th commandment "thou shall not kill" to mean murder. What is the Greek and Hebrew word used here? Does this word mean specifically murder or taking of life in general?? Thank you for your time | ||||||
3 | Meaning of day in the bible | Bible general Archive 4 | ChildofGod1988 | 202580 | ||
Hello fellow forum members. May God bless you this day. Now for my question. Is the word(in hebrew) used in Genisis for day, as in "on the second day," the same as the word used in the story of Joshua and Jerico? I feel that God did indeed create the universe in a literal 7 days. However to me, whether or not this, in particular, is literal is not critically important. If it would be possible, can you please provide different hebrew words for day and the meaning?? I would greatly appreciate it. I am anxious to hear back on this issue. God bless. | ||||||
4 | A difficult question | Bible general Archive 4 | ChildofGod1988 | 210452 | ||
Hello dear forum members, I have a question that is of an interesting nature (I suppose). After many debates (many unfriendly) I find that I am unable to provide a sufficient answer to this question. I have attempted to find a decent source of info, but have been unsuccessful in finding that or a direction of study. The question is this, in one form or another."How do we know that the bible is, bieng written and composed by humans, that it is from God, it is complete, and that it is untampered with?" I know that the Bible is what it says it is, and that God is in control of his word, but can anyone please provide a direction and/ or info on this PLEASE!!! I would dearly appreciate it. God bless every one of the members of this forum, and keep them in your care!! COG88 |

5 | Hosea and the significance of three | OT general | ChildofGod1988 | 209536 | ||
Hello all, I was reading through Hosea and in 6:2 It reads "after two days he will revive us, on the third day he will raise us up." I was wondering, this is another time (outside of the NT) where the three days is a theme. Is there any specific places in the Bible that I should look in order to find more about the three personification of God or the significance of three? I have always been curious as to why He reveals Himself in three persons. Thanks for the help folks. You are all a blessing from God!! COG88 |

7 | Age of accountability? | Is 7:16 | ChildofGod1988 | 204077 | ||
I was wondering if anyone had information, opinions, or ... anything really, in regards to the age of accountability? Thanks for your time. God bless :) | ||||||
8 | Sorry about the lack of clarity, but... | Is 7:16 | ChildofGod1988 | 204126 | ||
Dear Doc if it indeed begins at birth, how is it that a baby who is killed at, before, or near birth, justified? I am not sure that the verses you sited were of much help. As they, for the majority, simply stated that we are sinners conceived in sin. If you have any biblical verses that answer the above question I would appreciate it. I believe that God is the God who saves, I simply am looking for the biblical discourses on this as I am having trouble locating them ;) I realize that I was not clear in what I was asking, thanks for your patience. Oh and if you could possibly include verses dealing with Gods plan for those that have not had the opportunity to hear the Gospel, and how they are judged I would GREATLY appreciate it :) Thank you so much, God bless you all.

9 | Mind pickin | Matt 5:17 | ChildofGod1988 | 208565 | ||
Hello my friends. Once again I would like to pick the minds of the members of this forum. First I would like to ask, and please forgive me if this seems blasphemous or uncouth, is the OT geared more as a way for us to see the outworking of Gods will leading to the eventual birth of Christ, or is it like the NT in that we as Christians should live by its standards? Second, does the bible say that it is invalid if there is found within it even ONE mistake? If so could you please help me locate where? Thanks In Christ, COG |

10 | I need help :D | Acts 17:11 | ChildofGod1988 | 201011 | ||
Hello folks. I was wandering if anyone could help me with a problem. I cannot find in the NT where a church is admonished for its steadfastness in scripture. They are specifically praised for their double checking of doctrines, with scripture. Can anybody tell me where this is found? :D God bless all, He is risen amen!!!! |

11 | An interesting discussion/question | Romans | ChildofGod1988 | 204923 | ||
Dear fellow studiers of the word, I have recently discussed with someone, the merits and demerits, of predestination. During the discussion, he asked me a question about those who have never heard the Gospel. I remember that during my personal study, I read about Gods will and plan for those people (who i suppose could also include young children and those unborn). Could anyone please help me locate this passage? I want to thank all of you who are so willing to offer help, advice, knowledge, and directions when asked. God bless you all. |

12 | IF HE AINT REAL, THEN IM CRAZY | Rom 8:28 | ChildofGod1988 | 210781 | ||
Hello fellow Members, I have a praise report. In the word we are told that God knows our hearts. We are told that He knows that which is best for us. And he promises to do what is best for us, if we trust in Him. I would like to share a testimony, praisin God for His blessing, grace, and mercy. I recently went through a VERY difficult relationship, which I fully realize was brought about by my blind eyes and deaf ears, and it left me with nowhere to turn but God. One of my greatest desires is to find THE girl that I am to marry, and marry her :) Well after the relationship fell apart, I reached the point of saying "God I am letting you bring her to me," He was almost IMMEDIATELY faithful in bringing her to me. Not three months later, a girl from california, who is the sister of a friend of mine (whom I diliked very much not 6 months ago). This girl and I ended up going to visit the local water falls because she was bored( having been pinned up in her hotel room for 3 days). As we talked, I kid you not, without soliciting the information, she began to check off every item on my list of things I am looking for in a girl. Two weeks later after she had returned home, She was led to the Lord( I was blessed to be able to assist God in this), and two days later we began dating from 1500 miles away. Now our relationship has progressed and she and I feel that we will get married. She is studying to become a teacher. Well the program she is in, is offerd at a university in georgia, outside of the town my family moved to 1 and a half years ago. The school happened to also be one of the best schools for this program in the US. And PRAISE GOD SHE GOT ACCEPTED INTO THAT SCHOOL!!! I wish I could convey to you all the amazing way God has orchistrated this, but I feel that I couldnt even if I tried. I hope that this brings conformation, hope, and joy to any who read this post. May God bless you all, CoG88 |

13 | Rejection means never knew? | Eph 4:3 | ChildofGod1988 | 206093 | ||
How does that square with 2 Peter 2:18-22?? This is an interesting passage. It CLEARLY intimates, that these false teachers knew the way (Know means that they personally knew, intimately). If it can happen to a false teacher, it can happen to anyone who chooses what they did... to return to their old ways. Your right in one area, I disagree in another. I agree that one must choose to reject the gift they have been given/are offered. But I disagree that "Those who reject their salvation were never born again to begin with."For one simple reason. Only God truly knows the heart, to say you do is wrong and untrue. Now that I have said my piece, I would like to know what you think. I have discussed this before with a friend who is a Calvinist. Thanks so much for your time sir, God bless!! |

15 | I am horrible at locating verses, HELP | 1 John | ChildofGod1988 | 204131 | ||
Hello all, I looked through the archives and was unable to find any good verse listings regarding the trinity, its nature, and such. I know that there are several instances in the bible where God speaks, for lack of a better way to put it, with Himself. The very triune nature of our Father amazes, and confuses me honestly. I would like some help with locating verses dealing with this. I cant thank you enough for your time. This forum has been an incredible blessing and bible study aid. God bless you all. Andrew |
