3 | Humility in OUR BiIble Interpetations | 1 Kin 2:3 | billk | 51537 | ||
This question is begging to be asked Should we be humble in OUR personal interpetations of the Scripture? (and OUR perceived dose of the Holy Sprit's guidance) Since we are still human... Isn't it a FACT that we ALL interpet some portions of the scriptures right and some wrong? Don't all denominationa and persons miss the mark in their interpetations.... some are wrong in some beliefs and right in others... and vice versa Doesn't God and (and logic!) tell us we should be humble? |

4 | degrees of heaven? | Matt 5:19 | billk | 51280 | ||
Should this be verse seen as confirmation that such people will got to heaven but that they will be ranked lowly. It seems odd that heaven will have different levels of satisfaction and dissatisfaction. | ||||||
5 | What is Jesus's point? Perfectionism? | Matt 5:48 | billk | 51332 | ||
What is Jesus's point? Perfectionism? Since the context of the verse(prior commands, etc) are law oriented not faith/grace oriented.... isn't this Old Testament(sons of Haggar/slavery) teaching ? If we literally tried to follow this command (and not the sprit of the entire new convenant) would we "miss the mark" ? |

6 | Jesus: ona donkey or chariot? | John | billk | 56566 | ||
The Jews expected a Glorious Messiah to lead them to immediate victory over the Roman oppressors (but in fact got something much much different). Do many evangelist and evangelicals repeat the error.... creating the same exaggerated expectations... the victorious Jesus. But in fact doesn't Jesus come into our lives on a donkey rather than a victory chariot??? |

7 | Our role vs. God's role | Rom 5:4 | billk | 56369 | ||
As a relatively new Christian I stll get confused in our role vs. God's role in 1)our salvation 2) our growth in Jesus...particularly the latter. Here Paul seems to me to be talking about character issues (character is mostly our efforts, right?) at the very HEART of his "free gift" emphasis in Romans. The placement is what I find fascinating. Any insights on what Paul is trying to tell us. Is there a nuance/tension being brought out here??? |

8 | Will the Holy Sprit help when ........ | Rom 8:26 | billk | 57949 | ||
I read somewhere that God/Holy Sprit will not do something for us, or intervene, if we can somehow do it ourselves... that's how we grow, through suffering etc. It makes sense to me but haven't seen anything in the Bible either way. Any opinions on this pro or con, or bibcal references that may address this issue. |

9 | Can sinnners inherit the kingdom of God? | 1 Cor 6:9 | billk | 56377 | ||
If we are confident of our faith in Jesus but are in sin(s), such as adultery, drunkeness or unforgiveness/bitterness ...but we are sorry for these sins and ask for forgiveness... we have made progress, but they still occur in spite of our efforts...Are we still saved? 1cor6:9 know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. |

10 | The worse reason to get married? | 1 Cor 7:9 | billk | 56603 | ||
1cor7-9 "But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion". Isn't this jumping from the frying pan into the fire ??? |
||||||
11 | Politics in NT times? | Eph 5:3 | billk | 60489 | ||
Do you think the writers of the New Testament practice a variation of office politics? Was there Infighting? Powerplays? Gossip? Insinuations? Did they always practiced what they wrote about? I'm thinking of Paul and James in particular. Does it show a lack of faith to ask such a question? |
||||||
12 | PRECISELY, what is the new covenant | Heb 9:1 | billk | 58006 | ||
The discussion on our "obligations" to God under the New Testament got me to start thinking legally because obligations is a legal term and a covenant is a legal contract. So, in precise terms: Exactly what is God's New Contract (covenant) with us? What are our obligations? What are God's. In legal terms, is God's offer a free gift? |
