1 | Why God kills | Bible general Archive 2 | ngkh | 104650 | ||
Why did God kills in the OT including women and children? | ||||||
2 | Why children as well? | Bible general Archive 2 | ngkh | 104660 | ||
Thank you for the reply but what about the children? The children can't be all that sinful in nature can they ? Why can't they be spared and adopted where teachings be taught to them in Gods ways? Does it also mean that a race who is so sinful in nature that God had to wipe them out once and for all for there can be no hope of turning the children around or there were no plans at all to re-educate (bring) them into God's ways. | ||||||
3 | Why God allows such tragedy | Bible general Archive 2 | ngkh | 140829 | ||
I have asked the following question before in my early days of being a christian and studying the Bible. "Why did God kills" i.e. re Amalakites,etc and have accepted the probable reasons explained then. Perhaps they really deserve to be wiped out. I am asking the same question again with the recent events happening in South East Asia i.e. the high number of death in the tsunami tragedy. If God is so full of grace and that He loves us so much that I believe Him to be, why is He allowing such massive deaths to happen? Please teach me how to explain to a non believer that God loves us that he sacrificed His son for our sins but then he still allowed such tragedy to happen. When I saw a news footage of a man on CNN who lost everything, wife, kids, house, I asked myself. Why? |

4 | Which book in the Bible do I commence | Bible general Archive 2 | ngkh | 141279 | ||
If I were to start afresh to read the bible or if a non believer wants to know about the bible which book shall I start to read 1st? Genesis in OT or Matthew in NT. I had so much "trouble" trying to stay at Genesis that I jumped to the 4 Gospels first and very much later tried Genesis again until I'm stuck at Chronicles. Jumped again to Acts - Galatians and then tried to go back to Chronicles. Am now reading other materials (books) that is subject based, scriptures are refered from the bible to support what was discussed. I find that I understand the scriptures better this way but its bits of pieces here and there. I don't see the chronological order except to where I had read in the bible. My Pastor wants us to at least read the bible cover to cover once. If I do so, I know I will just run thru without understanding the scriptures. What should I do? Reading postings in this forum also helped a lot. |

5 | Second coming of Christ | Bible general Archive 2 | ngkh | 145218 | ||
What is the significant of the second coming of Christ? Aren't we going to be with him when we die? | ||||||
6 | Whats gonna happen in the 2nd coming | Bible general Archive 2 | ngkh | 145280 | ||
Thanks EdB. Then does it mean that we should look forward to His coming but before He comes, certain events must happen, right?. I was told that Isreal need to be restored to fulfill the prophesies but not sure if there are any other events besides what was stated in Revelations and 1 Thessolonians (Rapture). | ||||||
7 | In comparison to 2 Kings 5: 18-19 | Deut 5:9 | ngkh | 117727 | ||
Refering to 2 Kings 5:18 - Yet in this thing may the Lord pardon your servant: when my master goes into the temple of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow down in the temple of Rimmon--when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the Lord please pardon your servant in this thing." 19 Then he said to him, "Go in peace." So he departed from him a short distance. Does this mean that there are exceptions ? |

8 | To seek God must we also seek ourselves? | Prov 3:5 | ngkh | 155511 | ||
My home group is currently doing a word study using the book by Selwyn Hughes - Every Day with Jesus - The Christian's True Identity. The author states that a Christian is a person with two identities - their natural and the new one given by God. Now the issue is, the author states that it is vital that we know something about ourselves. Any attempt to know more about God without desiring to know more about ourselves and our spiritual identity will result in an unbalanced type of christian living. The author also added that as an e.g. a pastor of a very successful church and appeared to have a deep knowledge of God but little about himself led him to commit a sin which ruined his ministry. Now, I do not agree that we should look at ourselves following my understanding of Paul's epistles in Romans and Galatians about seeking one's carnal mind. Proverbs 3:5-6 clearly states that we do not lean on our own understanding. 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him,and he will make your paths straight. Psalm 139:23-24 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. All my other home group members do not agree with me. Am I wrong? Thanks |

9 | Thank you, Doc | Prov 3:5 | ngkh | 155553 | ||
Thank you, Doc for your thoughts and your explanation. Never did I thought the way you did. Perhaps I had been wrong all this while for in the past 2 over years, I never did once try to understand myself. It was always the Word and after I went thru Romans thru Hebrews, I believed that my old self should have died with Christ and my new is being crafted by our Lord in his own ways and time. That's how I see it in my growth. He had always eqquipped me with brothers and sisters like yourself to guide me. I have always relied on Him to move me and I can feel that I am moving. I do confess however that it makes me arrogant and prideful at times and God do rebuke with scriptures to tow me back to line. It is ironic that before my rebirth, I was always fighting the Word, looking for contradictions and doubts with my carnal mind but then God convicted me via the Word and now I am fighting for the Word telling others not to use their carnal mind to understand God's will which includes understanding ourselves and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us or take charge as we go along. Just seek, obey and receive, I believe. Isaiah 55:8-9 8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. 9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Thus, if I try to understand ourselves, I might understand wrongly.After all I am still human and might follow on the wrong path cos I cannot determine if what my thoughts is God's will. I am still very much how people would say "heart hardened" about how I feel. I would need time to digest what you wrote and am very thankful for your thoughts. Perhaps, if its not too much trouble, I would appreciate your prayer to allow me to see the light. God Bless ps. Incidently, I do read the postings almost everyday. Just that I felt a bit inadequate to contribute. |

10 | Lucider satan? | Ezek 28:12 | ngkh | 117732 | ||
I was told that Lucifer is satan. Is this correct? | ||||||
11 | Is it just? | Mal 2:16 | ngkh | 143890 | ||
Does it mean that in the bible, there is no recourse non whatsoever for a battered wife? Man can make a mistake and divorce the wife but a woman who makes a mistake must suffer the consequences and condemned for her mistake for life? | ||||||
12 | Unpardonable sin | Matt 12:32 | ngkh | 143802 | ||
I have read commentaries and discussions done in 2002 but I've still some questions and would appreciate some enlightening. 1) What constitute blasphemising the Holy Spirit (NIV and NKJV) ? 2) If a christian whose church do not believe in the speaking of tongues i.e. holy spirit, and thus to say that its not acceptable, will they fall under this category? My bro-in-law is in this church. 3) Does this verse not contradict the full Grace of the Lord? Even if you talk against Jesus Christ is still forgivable. 4) What if the person who does not understand the Holy Spirit and have talked bad about the Spirit. ( Would it be reasonable for a man who is not a believer or ignorant like the Pharisees to say that it is a demon instead? (Matthew 12:24)) 4) Would you say that man in general who do not understand but witness a miracle ( healing, exorcism) would normaly look at it in a negative manner (skeptics). Will skeptics then also fall under this category of unforgivable sin? Thus if a person who is a non believer then, argued that the Holy Spirit is utterly nonsence and crap but later repented and born again. No use? (damned for eternity) Thank you. |

13 | Thanks but.... | Matt 12:32 | ngkh | 143824 | ||
Thank you for the sharing. Now Hank wrote that there has to be a "deliberate" for this sin because they knew about it and yet still talk against it while you felt that anyone who profess to have received salvation but rejects the Holy Spirit is guilty of this sin even though they may not have talked against it. My bro-in-law for e.g. a far longer and strong christian I believe with great faiths. The only thing that bugged me is when we talk about a charismatic church I am in, he does not or rather his church does not believe in speaking of the tongues as according to him the event happened only on the day of Pantecost. He did not condemn it either. When he once visited my church, he told me that I am in the right church. I don't know what his church preaches but I am concerned that he may be on the wrong footing which may lead him to commit an 'unpardonable sin' (no way back.) without realising it. Also like him, we also have thousands of believers who may not believe in the Holy Spirit worldwide. Does it mean that they are condemned for not believing in the Holy Spirit? And how would we minister this? I thought the Holy Spirit is sort of automatic as you walk with the Lord - (baptism of the holy spirit.) because of ones belief and faith. Matthew 3:11 “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Why would one believes in Christ and yet do not believe in the Holy Spirit? Again, if one who is not for the Holy Spirit will he also be against Christ? |

14 | John 4:1-2 | Mark 1:7 | ngkh | 168650 | ||
In John 4:1-2 The Pharisees heard that Jesus was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John, although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. Q. Why did John mentioned that Jesus did not do the baptizing. Can he not baptize? What is the significance or reason why John highlighted this. Thanks |
||||||
15 | Jesus Baptized | Mark 1:7 | ngkh | 168704 | ||
Sorry Jeff, one more. In Matthew 3, Jesus went to John the Baptist to be baptize in water as well. Did Jesus need the baptizm of ''repentance' or is there anything that he He need to repent of? I mean he is sinless isn't he? | ||||||
16 | Burn in Hell? | Mark 9:43 | ngkh | 118228 | ||
I have heard and heard many evangelists said that if we do not seek God's salvation, we will forever burn in hell. My question is where in the scriptures said that or was the above statement man made. If its John 3:16, it mentioned perish but not burn in hell. |
||||||
17 | burn in hell | Mark 9:43 | ngkh | 118318 | ||
Thanks but I would believe that we go to hell if we've sinned. But that statement seemed to cover everything- eventhough you have been doing good all your life be it a muslim, Buddhist or aethist but if you are not a Christian, hell you go. Will this not cause a stir to non christians. I have many non christian friends who were told this and they responded negatively. How would you undo such thoughts? | ||||||
18 | Jesus 1st miracle according to John | John 2:11 | ngkh | 149432 | ||
Would appreciate if anyone can enlighten me the significance of Jesus 1st miracle at in John Chapter 2:1-11 besides revealing his Glory. Why did he tell Mary his time has not yet come? |

20 | Truth | John 7:17 | ngkh | 167388 | ||
Ok,thanks for the cut and paste. If its any consolation, I do not belong to the movement. I just read some of his books. Either I am not reading right or I have yet to read the books that has those teachings that are countered. Might I ask if you have read any of his books or are you just following other peoples comment. If you have, I would appreciate if you will let me know the name of the book, the writings which you feel are questionable and if I do not have the book, I will buy one. Or you might want to download from http://www.rhema.org/media/faith_magazine.cfm which I have just found on the net. Read the article and let me know if it is questionable.I've yet to read all of it. |
