1 | Help me understand Rev. 19:16 clearly. | Bible general Archive 1 | SSprln | 38948 | ||
I'm not sure I can give you a real Bible reference to answer your question, but this is not a tattoo on the body of the Lord! The Bible doesn't specify what it actually is, but I think I can assure you that it is not colored pins stuck in the thigh of Jesus! |

2 | Grossly mistranslated | Bible general Archive 1 | SSprln | 38956 | ||
Grossly mistranslated, is it? What is your authority to say this? Yes, a few passages have a word or two that could be translated another way, but not everyone speaks Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic; sorry, that's the way the world works. And, where do you get your information that the Bible has 45 "original" books that were left out of it? I have never heard such a thing, and obviously they were not subject to the teaching of the other truly canonical books of THE BIBLE. Yes, it is definitely one of the most misinterpreted and misunderstoody book of teachings in the entire world. And by the way, the Bible says that we can't understand it without the help of the Holy Spirit anyway. If you'll post the question, I'm sure you can get the reference to that verse, but I couldn't find it. | ||||||
3 | why can't a christian dink or dance | Bible general Archive 1 | SSprln | 51452 | ||
Drinking is a personal preference...it is not sinning unless you put it before God or other priorities that God designates in your life. So basically, if you don't GET DRUNK, then you're fine, in my opinion. In Proverbs 20:1, the Bible says "Wine is a mocker, and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise." The same goes for dancing...there are things that go on at dances that shouldn't go on, but that again is your decision. Their is NOTHING UN-Biblical about dancing! That notion is very ignorant. The next time that you hear that, tell them to prove it, and then point out that David danced before the Lord and Michal was cursed with barrenness for criticizing him. | ||||||
4 | If a wife is treated cruel can she divor | Bible general Archive 1 | SSprln | 52268 | ||
God does not want a wife to endure abuse...if a husband abuses his wife, it obviously wasn't God's will for them to get married in the first place, so yes, a divorce is needed. | ||||||
5 | When do we receive the holy spirit | NT general Archive 1 | SSprln | 51706 | ||
No...we receive the Holy Spirit when we get saved (accept Christ into our life). | ||||||
6 | Love your enemies(Satan?) and pray for.. | Matthew | SSprln | 38959 | ||
When Jesus says to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, He means exactly what it sounds like! We are to love everyONE and to pray for the people who DON'T love us. I don't think we should love the devil, because in James (chapter 5, I think!), it says to "resist the devil, and he will flee from you." | ||||||
7 | But Satan is our enemy, so how? | Matthew | SSprln | 39075 | ||
I'm not sure, but I think Satan fits into another category, because he is not human! Because if we love our enemies, we can win them to Christ by showing them the example that Christ gave for us. | ||||||
8 | what is baptized in the Holy Spirit | John 14:16 | SSprln | 2180 | ||
The baptism of the Holy spirit is when we are initially "filled" w/the Spirit upon believing in the Son of God and receiving life through His name and grace. | ||||||
9 | Ques. for Grace andTruth | Romans | SSprln | 51454 | ||
The Plan of Salvation goes something like this: (1) Realize you're a sinner. Romans 3:23 says "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (2) Know that the penalty for sin is death. Romans 6:23 says "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." (3) Understand that Christ died and rose again for you. Romans 5:28 says "And God demonstrates His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (4) You can be saved through faith in Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 says "For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast." (5) Saying a prayer doesn't save anyone, but it is a vital part of accepting Christ as your saviour. You need to tell Him that you realize you're a sinner, and that He died and rose again to take your sin away. Ask Him for His forgiveness, and tell Him that you want to live for Him. |

10 | How have the offices changed? | Eph 4:11 | SSprln | 2181 | ||
Ok, I'm sure someone's already answered like this, and I'm just adding my 2 cents. To give you some advice, hopefully good, I would contact a well-known Christian leader--like Charles Stanley or Adrian Rodgers (or Tim LaHaye or Jack Van Impe, just to name a few)--of your denomination, not that *your* denomination has the right view point, but...). Anyway, I think for every gift that has gone "out of office," there's a secondary for it. Exp. tongues used to be speaking a language w/o previously learning it. Now, I believe that the gift of tongues is God giving you a passion/talent for speaking another language. See what I mean? This is just my opinion, so take it or leave it. I hope I helped you! | ||||||
11 | Sabbath because it is a rule? | Col 2:16 | SSprln | 2182 | ||
I didn't even read your whole note/question/reply/whatever it is, but I don't think we have to honor the ten commandments any more. I don't know the verse, but it says that we should esteem every day the same, and that we should live for the Lord every day. The Bible says that the letter (law/10 commandments) killeth. We are in the new covenant so we should be living according to the new testament. Hope I helped. | ||||||
12 | Why must I go to church? | Heb 10:25 | SSprln | 51450 | ||
Other christians are positive influences on your life. Hebrews 10:25 states: "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." | ||||||
13 | another hypothetical, applied ethics | James 4:7 | SSprln | 47779 | ||
I would do nothing and let him die. My reason: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. |

14 | Only 144,000 virgins in heaven? | Revelation | SSprln | 1245 | ||
I don't really know much about the Muslims, and I haven't brushed up on my JehoWitTheology lately, but I don't think that the Jehovah's Witnesses believe that only 144,000 people are going to heaven...I think they rank people sort of. I KNOW that they believe that the most faithful 144,000 will be the 144,000 mentioned in Revelation, though. | ||||||
15 | What are the seven seals? | Revelation | SSprln | 1246 | ||
The 7 seals are the first set of judgements in the Tribulation Hour, which tech. also include the Trumpet Judgments. According to my understanding and interpretation, they are to occur during the first quarter of the Tribulation Period. By the way, I reccommend reading either REVELATION UNVEILED (Dr. Tim LaHaye) or REVELATION REVEALED (Dr. Jack Van Impe). | ||||||
16 | Good study guide for Revelation? | Revelation | SSprln | 1247 | ||
REVELATION UNVEILED (Dr. Tim LaHaye), REVELATION REVEALED (Dr. Jack Van Impe), COMMENTARY ON REVELATION (Dr. J. Vernon McGee). | ||||||
17 | BEST COMMENTARY ON REVELATION? | Revelation | SSprln | 1249 | ||
Jack Van Impe: REVELATION REVEALED. Not because of his writing talent, but because of his near-perfect theology. | ||||||
18 | read and understand the question | Revelation | SSprln | 1407 | ||
The best commentary on Revaltion (not "Revelations") WOULD be one that is easy to understand for new-comers and one that is accurate. I've already given you 3 titles. | ||||||
19 | Accuracy not a requirement...? | Revelation | SSprln | 1456 | ||
I'm not the one who SAID accuracy wasn't a requirement. It IS! Yes, I know how to spell Revelation; typing error. Anyway, In my opinion, Dr. Van Impe IS pretty accurate; maybe not the best of the 3, but he's still one of the better prophecy scholars that I know. By the way, he has 14 doctorates in theology. | ||||||
20 | REV4:5 .THE MEANING PLEASE | Revelation | SSprln | 1724 | ||
"THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD. This refers to the seven eyes of the Lord or characteristics of God (cf. Zech. 4:10 and Isa. 11:2)." | ||||||
