2 | A prophet | Bible general Archive 4 | azurelaw | 196053 | ||
Jeremiah 18:18, 26:8 Jeremiah was being persecuted by many and even at edge of death for his prophesying which the people claimed as false. I want to know what was the status of a prophet at the time of Jeremiah's. In Ch 27 v1-15, what Jeremiah said appeared to show him a betrayer (base on a national perspective). It is interesting to see those priests and other prophets did not charge Jeremiah for his betrayal discourse, but false prophesying. Your input and enlightenment is appreciated. Shalom Azure |

10 | Can pastors retire? | Bible general Archive 3 | azurelaw | 177638 | ||
First of all, I would like to declare that I mean no offence to any retired pastors here (if any). My question is generated from my curiosity and my understanding or perseption as to the life-long commitment of a pastor. If I am wrong, kindly correct me with scritpural support. My question is: Can a pastor retire? or Can a pastor not retire? My understanding is that once a person is called to commit himself fully to serve Christ (here, of course I should not limit it to the pastor, instead, every Christian should commit his/her life fully and life-long to Christ) as a pastor, can he retire someday just like those people having their retirement in the society? We see so many examples in the Bible - Moses, Paul, Peter - who demonstrated a life-long pastoring a certain group of people until death, why do we have retired pastors nowadays? Thanks for any scriptural guidiances. God bless you all. Azure |

11 | Comforting scriptures and poems | Bible general Archive 3 | azurelaw | 180842 | ||
Our dear and loving retired old pastor has become widowed a month ago. He lives alone for his only daughter lives in America. Yesterday, when he shared with us in the prayer group, he said he was still making his way to adapt to the loneliness. Everything at home reminds him of his beloved wife. I want to email him some comforting scriptures and poems which can make him feel the sweetness of our Lord Jesus, but nothing comes to my mind. Any recommendation? Thanks. Shalom Azure |

13 | saved and sanctified | Bible general Archive 3 | azurelaw | 189273 | ||
By the blood of Jesus, believers are called righteous and saved. As believers, in our process of sanctification in our life time, is it a must that we undergo all sorts of trials, tests, and sufferings, etc.(the refining process of fine gold)? Is sanctification referred to what Paul said in 1 Cor 10:24 as the reward? How should I understand the relationship between being saved and sanctified? With this I mean, some believers believed and were baptized just before the moment of their death, there was no way for them to undergo the process of sanctification as such described in Zech 13:9. Hope I have expressed my question clear. Thanks for your help. Shalom Azure |

14 | Praise in worship: emotion that counts? | Bible general Archive 3 | azurelaw | 192230 | ||
My church is a liturgy and ritual one. We hold high value of sound doctrines of orthodoxy. Some years ago, in face of the growth and the influence of the contemporary music on the Sunday service which has been espoused by most young christians, our chuch has made a slight adjustment for fitting the youngsters' need, where 2 Sunday services were arranged. The late morning section remains unchanged with choir serving the music part. An additional early morning section was set up with the contemporary music praise group (a more inter-active way) in place of the choir. The rest of the programmes remain the same. Recently, the leader of the praise group expressed her idea to our elder that she hoped the praise group could take an additional part after the sermon and in doing so, the congregation's emotion could be uplifted to the peak. After hearing that, the elder talked to me about his concern that the leader could have missed the focus. A meeting has been arranged next week for discussing the issue in details with the leader. I was asked (by the elder) to prepare for the meeting that I can step in when there need a proper guidance. I am reading some books. However, I would also like to receive any pertinent thoughts on the issue. Thank you in advance for your input. Shalom Azure |

15 | Killing of Joab and Adonijah | OT general | azurelaw | 175928 | ||

16 | The risk of emptying oneself? | NT general Archive 1 | azurelaw | 179832 | ||
Matthew 12:43-45 Is it talking about a so-call believer who acknowledged his own sin and determined to abandon it (...the unclean spirit goes out of a man...), but failed to accept and follow the Word / the Holy Spirit, thus emptying himself (... finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order ...). On the other hand, he was possessed with those heresy, false doctrines, worldly philosopy, etc. (...other spirits more wicked than itself...), and his condition was even worse than before? I don't know if my such understanding correct. I have been stuck with this scripture for quite some time. I believe some of you will be able to guide me through. Thanks Azure |

17 | Did God bless the beasts as well | Gen 1:25 | azurelaw | 213274 | ||
God created all living creatures in water and birds in the sky and He BLESSED them to be fruitful and multiply the earth (Gen 1:20-22). He did the same to man as well (Gen 1:28). However, I did not find He gave the same blessing to the beasts of the earth. Did God actually give the same blessing to the animals on earth? Thanks. Azure |

18 | modes in aiding meditation | Gen 1:26 | azurelaw | 200340 | ||
Lately, in a meeting to discuss about an up coming summer youth camp programmes, apart from introducing bible study method, we were considering how to encourage the young to have a consistent meditation/contemplation moment. One of the participants said that she wanted to introduce some meditation modes in the camp for the young so that they have more to choose to make their meditation more refreshing: 1/ The traditional one which is chewing on a chapter or two repeatedly for meditation. 2/ Interacting with the nature with scriptures. She said you can stand in front of a tree, a plant, an insect or facing the sky, etc. something of the nature to do your meditation. You can even talk to the creature and open yourself to let God reveal Himself or His Word through it. Perhaps, I am too ignorant. This sounds new and strange to me. So, I asked about the origin of this mode. She said it was not a new thing and could be originated from St Francis (Catholic). She said she will provide me some more information about it. I want to know if this kind of mode in aids of meditation biblical. 3/ Through performing arts (like painting or drawing, etc.) to express what has had in mind when meditating God's Word. Like No. 2, this is new and strange to me as well. This kind of mode is unlikely to be considered. Still I want to know if anyone on the forum aware of it and your biblical comments is appreciated. Shalom Azure |

20 | naming and subordination | Gen 3:20 | azurelaw | 213406 | ||
We see that Adam did not name the woman Eve when she was brought to him by God in Gen 2:23 after he had given names to other animals nor did he name her Eve when God blessed them to be fruitful and multiply the earth (1:18). Now, Adam named her Eve. Does it render the thought that such action explained her being in subordination to Adam based on God's punishment as per 3:16 which also in accord with ruling status over other living creatures as appointed in 1:26 through naming them in 2:19? My points are: 1/ Was Eve subordinate to Adam only after the Fall? 2/ Did Adam's action of giving name to Eve signify his ruling power over her? Thanks and Shalom Azure |
