1 | How to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit? | Bible general Archive 1 | heartfire | 19458 | ||
How do you become sensitive to the Holy Spirit? I understand that there is something about letting yourself go "free" in a sense and not to limit God, but then there's also the side of not going into total meditation upon nothing, and there's also the balance of not being falsely/humanly emotional. What's the balance? Also, how does one meditate upon the Word of God? Like just run the verse over and over through his head? Or what? I would appreciate biblical references when possible, and it'd be nice to have personal experience answers. But all answers I'll accept and sieve through them myself. Thanks a bunch for even reading this! |

2 | What does Matthew 24: 28 mean? | Matt 24:28 | heartfire | 19433 | ||
Hello. This has puzzled me for a long time. Does anyone have any idea what this is about. I noted two things: that Jesus was talking about the 2nd coming and that it sounds like a bad thing (corpse, vultures). | ||||||
3 | Contrary Accounts of Jesus' Genealogy. | Rom 1:3 | heartfire | 40615 | ||
I would like to know why the genealogy of Jesus differs markedly between the account of Matthew (Matthew 1: 1-17) and Luke (Luke 3: 23-38). Matthew claims that Jesus was from King Solomon's line, whilst Luke claims he was from Nathan's (another son of David's) line. All the names are different from King David onwards, until Shealtiel and Zerubabbel. Then, they differ again. There aren't any tallying names from David to Shealtiel and from Zerubabbel to Joseph. I refuse to accept that it was a simple error, because Christianity is based on the fact that the Bible is the Truth, the absolute Truth and nothing but the Truth. Besides, if this was an error, then how would I know that there aren't any more errors in the rest of the Bible? |

4 | Different Claims On Joseph's Father | Rom 1:3 | heartfire | 40930 | ||
Ah, I see. Thanks a lot! But still, both Matthew and Luke trace it back to Joseph. It doesn't seem to be the case, from the use of English, that one traces to Mary while the other traces to Joseph. The Amplified Bible says this of Matthew 1:16 "Jacob, the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, Who is called the Christ." Luke 3: 23 of the same version says, "Jesus Himself, when He began [His ministry], was about thirty years of age, being the Son, as was supposed, of Joseph, the son of Heli..." Hence, both say that Joseph's father was two different people. Unless in the Jewish custom, Mary's father would be also equated to Joseph's father because husband and wife are made one flesh. But I am not sure of that, so it would be very nice if anyone would confirm or correct that notion. Thanks a lot once again! |
