1 | ICor7:7 meaning? "wish all were as I"? | NT general Archive 1 | New Man | 128881 | ||
As a single person, Paul recognized the special freedom and independence he had to serve Christ. But he did not expect all believers to be single, nor all who were single to stay that way, nor all who were married to act celibate as if they were single. Both singleness and marriage are God’s gracious gifts. | ||||||
2 | What can we learn from the book ofEsther | Esth 1:1 | New Man | 128788 | ||
Esther and Exodus both chronicle how vigorously foreign powers tried to eliminate the Jewish race and how God sovereignly preserved His people in accordance with His covenant promise to Abraham ca. 2100–2075 b.c. (Gen. 12:1–3; 17:1–8). As a result of God’s prevailing, Esther 9, 10 records the beginning of Purim—a new annual festival in the 12th month (Feb.-Mar.) to celebrate the nation’s survival. Purim became one of two festivals given outside of the Mosaic legislation to still be celebrated in Israel (Hanukkah, or the Festival of Lights, is the other, cf. John 10:22). In Esther, all of God’s unconditional covenant promises to Abraham (Gen. 17:1–8) and to David (2 Sam. 7:8–16) were jeopardized. However, God’s love for Israel is nowhere more apparent than in this dramatic rescue of His people from pending elimination. “Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep” (Ps. 121:4). Esther is the classic illustration of God’s providence as He, the unseen power, controls everything for His purpose. There are no miracles in Esther, but the preservation of Israel through providential control of every event and person reveals the omniscience and omnipotence of Jehovah. Whether He is named is not the issue. He is clearly the main character in the drama. I pasted these thoughts from The MacArthur Study Bible. |

3 | Please answer Solomons' question? | Eccl 5:6 | New Man | 128874 | ||
Because God is in heaven and man is on earth, rash promises and arguments before Him are foolish. Making vows and not fullfulling them have serious implications. The OT background for this admonition is found in Deut. 23:21–23 and Judg. 11:35. Ananias and Sapphira learned the hard way in Acts 5:1–11. The work of your hands refers to the promise made with your mouth. Did you deliver the vow with your actions? |

4 | life after death? where is heaven? | 1 Cor 15:1 | New Man | 128803 | ||
Sleep is a term used in the bible as a common euphemism for death of the physical body. (1 Cor 15: 6 and 20; 11:30; Matt. 27:52; Acts 7:60; 2 Pet. 3:4). Whether or not your father repented of his sins and accepted Jesus as his Lord and savior will have no effect on the bliss you will experience in heaven. There will be no sadness, no tears, only eternal joy. When you go to heaven, you will still be you, but only glorified in a body fit to live for eternity. Not only will you remember all you do now, but all there is to know about eternity past future. I recommend buying a study bible like the MacArthur Study Bible or Evidence Bible (wayofthe master.com). These are excellent tools for growing in your faith and knowledge of The Word of God. |
