1 | Church of Christ --- A cult?? | Bible general Archive 3 | calmrage | 169593 | ||

2 | Harold Camping ? | 2 Tim 2:15 | calmrage | 161369 | ||
Harold Camping... controversal? Does anyone know about this person? He is a Bible scholar from family Radio.. His teaching sounded so good and so truthful. However, after 1994 and I've come to the conclusion to lose confidence of him and stop listening him. He made a false prediction or Bible interpretation that 1994 would be the end of the world and Christ would have come that day. And as time passes by, he made another prediction (according to my Sunday school Teacher) that 2011 will be Christ's second coming. Bible clearly said that no one will know the hours or days that Christ would come, even the son. However, he explained that the Bible didn't say YEAR. Well, now my question. How do you intrepret the Bible the right way? According to my sunday school teacher, we will not know, but we will be more or less estimate approximately after 30 years the showing of Anti-Christ. Every one said that interpret the Bible with or from the Bible itself. Actually, people interpret the Bible with the Bible according to how they do it..... Yes, there are lots of areas we could do, but there are some dangerous area like the coming of Christ or understanding of Revelation will be very difficult to intrepret. That leads to the next question... Should we avoid reading that book or should i say should we avoid intrepreting that book ??? |

3 | How do you explain the mystery? | Phil 2:8 | calmrage | 158716 | ||
How do you explain non-believers the Mystery of Trinity?? For example: The Bible says God is all knowing and Jesus is also God, but yet for the second coming of Jesus, not even Jesus the son knows when it is, only the Father knows. So, how do we explain the mystery of Trinity or should we simply say this is mystery ? |

4 | Speaking of God or for God?? | Luke 13:2 | calmrage | 157852 | ||
Speaking for God or of God?? We all know that God is all knowing and he is the creator of all. And yet, when it comes to disaster or tregedy, people tend to say things for God in a way that it is not act of God.. For example, Tsunami and Katrina ... I heard that many pastors will say during the sermon "...... why would God let it (nature) happen........" It almost sounded like it is not act of God or should I say it is not God's will to have disaster or they avoid saying that God is punishing people. When I thought of Job 1:12 ... "And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. " Even so, I stil think it's God's will or act of God to let Satan to control Job. Whether it is a punishment or Whatever he does (acccident, tregedy, disaster), he always has a purpose. I just don't get why people are afraid to say that it's act of God or God's will. In the deep thinking, the end of the world is coming soon. We will sooner or later have to face reality that Jesus will come back and the world will be destroyed regardless. Of course, this time, it may not be by water. Anyway, I found that many Christians are really afraid to admit it's act of God. In the old testament, God sent forth lot of diaster to people as well and it was a fact. Yes, God loved us, that's why he sent his son Jesus to save us. However, saving a soul is far more important than a body. Maybe they just say that to comfort the victims of disaster because as humans, we are always looking at our secular situation first. How many of us would be rejoice in pain like Paul did in jail. Not many..... I would like your take on this one... |

5 | Looking for a verse or passage | 1 Cor 9:22 | calmrage | 152893 | ||
Looding for a verse or passage.. There is a passage or verse about Christians or believers in some situation or cirumstance should speak the way non-believers speak. In a sense that it means we have to speak to the way they want to speak so that they can understand gospel easily. Perhaps, I do not explain too well. I know somewhere there is a verse about that. If anyone knows, please help me find that verse. thanks |

7 | Jesus wept !... did Jesus ever laugh? | Luke 10:21 | calmrage | 147382 | ||
Have you ever wonder why the Bible never mentioned that Jesus laughs or smiles? (Correct and quote me if I am wrong) Yes, his teachings in mountain about those are blessed... "Blessed are those..... " However, the Bible seems not to mention his facial expression about happines. Has Jesus been happy in his life? The Bible has mentioned that Jesus Wept as in John 11:15.Is there a reason for it? Or is it Christians are like Christ that most of our lives have to be pain and suffering in order to be eternally happy!??? |

8 | Is Church needed for high spirited ones? | Eph 5:25 | calmrage | 129394 | ||
Too much spiritual?? or Is Church really needed for Christian especially those high spirited ones?? I have 2 highly educated relatives. They were once pastors in certain churches. They have taught the gospel to the public in church. However, due to some sort of church politics or disappointment they have been thru, and they seemed to get sick and tired of being part of the church. When I asked them why they don't go to church any more. They simply said that they don't need church. They said they OVERCOME the need to be in church. I didn't understand at first. However, I have a feeling that somehow they don't get along with most churches and/or they can't serve the way they want in church. As a result, they give up the idea of being in church. I was also told that they don't need to be in church because they already understand fully about the Bible and don't need to be preached. However, they sent their daughter to one church, but yet they don't show the presences. p.s. Lately, when they talk about the gospel with other close relatives; they seem to avoid convincing others going to church. Basically, they have no models to show that church is important or recommendation to what denomination or name of the Church. My question really is.. 1. Do high-spirited people (my relatives (a couple), pastors, rev.) need to go to church even they don't to be preached? If they somehow can't serve the lord as preacher, should they still stop going to church like my relatives...? 2. I know it's somewhere, but forgot, please quote me some words from Jesus about going to church is Christian's obligation. (one of them about proud believers should humble themselves, but in their cases, they always say they already did and it's not their problems, it's church problem) 3. Since they claim they are high spirited individuals, how do you confront them with Bible verses if this is wrong not going to church? 4. I do not wish to argue with them. If I do, they will use the argument about me not being high spirit and therefore I always end up not qualifying judging them. 5. Have you known anyone like that situation? How do you deal with that. Your sharing and thought is highly appreicated. thanks.. |

9 | Where's Daniel?! | Daniel | calmrage | 116496 | ||
Where is Daniel??? This may requires you to read Daniel 3 or perhaps 2 as well. Daniel 2 mentioned that Daniel has been promoted and has authority to take care of many things in the kingdom. However, on chapter 3, it mentions about his 3 friends were arrested because of rejecting or refusing worshipping the image or idol the king built. It didn't mention Daniel at all. How could he be missing in such a big event (image built to worship)? Why wasn't he mentioned in the Bible??? Did he worship the idol? Was there any significance with his absence? How do we treat something this is not mentioned in the Bible and yet it may be important? (well to some people like me anyway) Any thought?? |

10 | Not Drinking in 40 days... possible?? | NT general Archive 1 | calmrage | 116388 | ||
How long a person can survive without food and water?? Please read Duet. Chapter 9 and verse 9 Did Mose literally not drink any water and eat any food in fourty days? I could understand Jesus fast in 40 days in Mattew 4:2. Jesus was not mentioned about not drinking water. As for Moses, He said it so clear that he didn't drink any water. Is that possible for a man to live like that.... My thought, it may be possible in the past, (I still reserve the possibilities that verse is not taken seriously) but now, I doubt it even the most spiritual man. What is your thought on this verse?? |

11 | Why Canaan was cursed? | Gen 9:20 | calmrage | 71673 | ||
I don't quite understand the following... Can someone help me? Why is Canann cursed? Genesis 20 Noah was the first tiller of the soil. He planted a vineyard; 21 and he drank of the wine, and became drunk, and lay uncovered in his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it upon both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness. 24 When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said, "Cursed be Canaan; a slave of slaves shall he be to his brothers." 26 He also said, "Blessed by the LORD my God be Shem; and let Canaan be his slave." |
