1 | Christians before Jesus came | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 128733 | ||
Though some will surely profess otherwise, the truth of the matter is that there were NO Christians before Jesus. The word "khris-tee-an-os'", or as translated from the Greek, “Christian,” means follower of Christ. Before Christ, there were no "followers of Christ." According to the book of Acts, the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. In scripture, this is the first mention of the pronoun, Christian. The only 3 occurrances are in Act_11:26; Act_26:28; and 1Pe_4:16; As to how people were saved prior to Jesus' sacrifice; I have done no in depth study on the matter, but from what I have read in scripture, it boiled down to living right, sacrificing and obeying the word of God. Isn't that what it is all about in the first place, obeying the word? Jesus was and is the word. GB |

2 | They were not born again at time of marr | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 131487 | ||
Vows before God are vows, whether Catholic, Protestant, Episcopalian, or what. A renewal of ones vows does not make one any more married than the original. If there were a difference, one could simply change religion, then claim their marriage was no longer valid. GB |

3 | Have you ever read a book by a Catholic? | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 131496 | ||
Just curious... Christ stated "No man cometh to the Father but by me." Why do Catholics go before Priests to confess their sins? This is OT, not NT. Why do Catholics pray to the Saints? Unlike Christ, they are not omnipotent. They could not possibly hear the prayers of all the Catholics. Even if they could, there is but ONE intercessor between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. I am Protestant. I will always be so. Yet, though I do not believe as the Catholics do, it seems that the action of the Catholic Church is often closer to true Christianity than that of many professing Christian Churches. Christ, believing Him, what He did, and accepting the salvation He has made available, is all that matters. As long as the Foundation is Christ, denomination is simply icing on the top of the cake.

4 | Peacemakers and Politics? | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 134058 | ||
The candidate I am sure you refer to as not being a peace maker, is doing the same thing you would do if someone who would not listen to reason were killing children elsewhere and trying to kill your children. I am sure you would fight for their lives to your last drop of blood. Wouldn't you? What is the difference? On the other hand, the other candidate who pretends to be a peace maker, advocates murder in the form of abortion, as well as the abomination of same sex marriage. If you were to vote for one who advocates such, you would be just as guilty as is the doctor who sucks the cranial matter (brains) out of the tiny, partially born, helpless, unwanted, infant, or the so called preacher who claims to unite two men or two women in the bonds of what can only be refered to as "unholy" matrimony.

5 | Satan said I will how many times? | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 134272 | ||
I suspect the answer to your question would depend heavily on which version of the Bible one uses. Though only a few are truly inspired, there are many. too many. GB |

6 | Question for Glory Bound | Bible general Archive 2 | Glory Bound | 134418 | ||
I have already answered this question. As to those who CAN NOT, or WILL NOT understand and adhere to THE WORD; It is understandable that they will not understand my words. Once again Hank. This discussion is closed between you and me. I beg you not to carry it on. GB |

7 | Did God create evil? | Gen 1:31 | Glory Bound | 133916 | ||
God created man. Rather than following Gods one simple rule,(not to eat of the forbidden fruit,) man chose to disobey. Thus the evil of Satan took root. It has flourished ever since. In the beginning, man knew no evil. Through disobediance, his eyes were opened. Through hard headedness, many still choose to follow their own "free will," thinking that they are smarter than God. There is good news and bad news. The good news is that God saw that man was incapiable of maintaining an obediant nature. He sent His Son to pay the price for mans disobediance. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. Romans 6:23 and John 3:15 The above is the good news. It is also the bad news. For, what are the wages of sin? And what is it that one must do that they should not perish? It is bad news to those who do not believe, for if they do not accept the gift of Gods Son, then they themselves must pay that debt... GB |

8 | who are the sons of God? | Gen 6:2 | Glory Bound | 130798 | ||
You will hear many profess through utter ignorance that angels are the "sons of God", yet I put you in mind that Jesus Christ is the one and only begotten Son of God. Plain and simple: John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: ôå'êíïí teknon tek'-non From the base of G5098; a child (as produced): - child, daughter, son. This is one of the flaws of interpretation in the KJ. The word which was translated "sons" should have been translated "children." All who accept Jesus as savior are "sons" (CHILDREN) of God. GB |

10 | homosexuality | Lev 18:22 | Glory Bound | 130462 | ||
God loves us all, no matter who or what we are. It is the sin, and non acceptance which is non acceptable in His eyes. A homosexual, which is commonly referred to in scripture as a Sodomite. Do a word search in the King James version and see what is stated concerning such. For one thing, they sin against their own flesh. For another thing, our creator looks on that particular sin as an abomination. Pretty strong words. Well, it's a ugly thing if one gets down to the nitty gritty! In OT times, sodomy was punishable by death. The offender never had an opportunity to repent. What Jesus did concerning this fact was to give the offender a path of forgiveness (himself,) and time for repentance. Those who justify, uphold and make excuses for the homo's (sodomites) fool no one other than themselves and the scripturally unlearned, thus making them, as themselves spiritually void, and headed for eternal damnation. We have not the right to judge another, for this is left to Jesus Christ alone. Yet He gave us His word so we could judge the actions. He expects to do just that. Though at the moment one may be directly headed for Hades, we know not what will be the ultimate direction that person will take. Meanwhile we must.... gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

11 | Tattoos? | Lev 19:28 | Glory Bound | 130681 | ||
Lev 19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD. "for the dead":lamenting the dead. If one should not do such if grief, why should they "not do it" for whatever reason? GB |

12 | Is God a racist? | Deut 17:15 | Glory Bound | 130053 | ||
Your question is best answered dirrectly from scripture. Rom 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Rom 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Read the book of Galations. Then reread it. then read it again. As I once pondered this question and finally had my eyes opened, so will you. GB |

13 | Why did David use five stones? | 1 Sam 17:40 | Glory Bound | 129388 | ||
I believe your answer is best stated by Matthew Henry. But what arms and ammunition is David furnished with? Truly none but what he brought with him as a shepherd; no breastplate, nor corselet, but his plain shepherd's coat; no spear, but his staff; no sword nor bow, but his sling; no quiver, but his scrip; nor any arrows, but, instead of them, five smooth stones picked up out of the brook, 1Sa_17:40. By this it appeared that "his confidence was purely in the power of God," and not in any sufficiency of his own, and that now at length he who put it into his heart to fight the Philistine put it into his head with what weapons to do it. I would say that David chose five stones because he thought "he" might miss. It only took one, because he was was doing Gods will. Perhaps as we often do, even David doubted his own strength in faith. GB |

15 | Do all men belong to God? | Job 33:6 | Glory Bound | 131919 | ||
If they were not God's children, they were the devil's, for God and Satan divide the world of mankind; the devil is therefore said to work in the children of disobedience. Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience. God created man. All creation belongs to God, but He gives us a free will to serve whom we choose. One can not serve two masters, for either he will love the one and hate the other, or he will hate the one and love the other, thus man is called "a child" of the one whom he serves. Mat 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. Mat 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. Mat 13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Mat 13:21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. Mat 13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. Mat 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Mat 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; As to redemption. We are redemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. Sadly, there are those who refuse to accept that gift. Redemption comes only through Grace and our acceptance through that "free will" we were given. GB |

16 | Were angels created on day 2 or 3? | Prov 3:5 | Glory Bound | 128752 | ||
Dear soul, you may wish to turn to the following passage for your answer to this question, for there is no other answer that is scriptural. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: Proverbs 3:5-7 In Christ and His word GB |
||||||
17 | Proverbs 3:5-6 ; in a relationship | Prov 3:5 | Glory Bound | 128758 | ||
Some trust in science. Many trust in their own abilities. Some would have you believe that they must understand what scripture says before they can accept the truth thereof. The truth is that if this were true, they most assuredly would not be using a computer, telephone, or even a light bulb. They are fooling only themselves. When I simply do not understand something, Proverbs 3:5-7 is my rock. Inevitably, if it is important, the Holy Spirit reveals it. Sometimes it is years before I get the answer that I thought I needed so much. One show of faith is in a Christian’s adherence to Pro 3:5. God Bless GB |

18 | People want answers! | Prov 3:5 | Glory Bound | 128760 | ||
If you are looking to man for an "absolute" answer, you are looking in the wrong place. Get into the word. It will get into you... This is a promise. GB |

19 | living together prior to marriage | Amos 1:1 | Glory Bound | 130679 | ||
1Co 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Check out the rest of that chapter. Without a doubt, it will answer your question. GB |

20 | Determine if the wife was a virgin or no | Matt 1:23 | Glory Bound | 131145 | ||
Though it is highly possiable that the word "virgin" may not be in a passage relating to your question, the word virgin appears 33 times in scripture. Only 7 of which are in the NT. So, if your thought is in scripture as you think, it is probably in the OT. (NT) KJV Mat_1:23; Luk_1:27; 1Co_7:28; 1Co_7:34; 1Co_7:36; 1Co_7:37; 2Co_11:2; (OT) KJV Gen_24:16; Gen_24:43; Lev_21:3; Lev_21:14; Deu_22:19; Deu_22:23; Deu_22:28; Deu_32:25; 2Sa_13:2; 1Ki_1:2; 2Ki_19:21; Isa_7:14; Isa_23:12; Isa_37:22; Isa_47:1; Isa_62:5; Jer_14:17; Jer_18:13; Jer_31:4; Jer_31:13; Jer_31:21; Jer_46:11; Lam_1:15; Lam_2:13; Joe_1:8; Amo_5:2; I hope this helps GB |
