1 | Is anything above God's name? | OT general | wdc | 4689 | ||
If you read the KJV, it says this. (Psa 138:2) I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. This is the only thing I know of that the Bible says is exalted or magnified above God's name. I would like to hear more on this if anyone has any other answers. I would also like to know why you asked this question. later...wdc |

2 | Did Mary and Joseph have more children? | NT general Archive 1 | wdc | 2955 | ||
Yes. (Mat 13:55) Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? Mary and Joseph had four other sons that the Bible records. later...wdc |

3 | The reason why I'm asking this question | Genesis | wdc | 2959 | ||
The verse you are refering to is this: (Gen 2:7) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. It does not say God put His mouth over Adam, but I don't know how else He could have done it. As for the why, I believe that man is created in God's image in part because when God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, God imparted to man His nature. When man sinned, he lost that nature, that is he died spiritually, that is why we must be born again, to recieve the Holy Spirit, or God's nature again. Compare (Gen 5:3) And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: Seth was born in Adam's image, not God's. We are all God's creation, but we are not God's children until we are born again in the image of God, receiving His Spirit. Hope this helps. later...wdc |

6 | dating seven year older lady | Gen 2:18 | wdc | 91163 | ||
This is not Biblical, but I hope that maybe it will help you. My wife is 7 years older than I am and we will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary this November. WE have been very happy and have served the Lord for 22 years. I have pastored for 20 years. God has blessed us. If you believe that God has put you together, than go for it. Only seek God's will.

7 | How did Noah know about clean animals? | Gen 4:5 | wdc | 2977 | ||
The Bible does not say exactly, but I think God must have told them what to sacrifice and what not to. Remember Cain's sacrifice (Gen. 4:5)that was rejected, I know there are other thoughts on this, I think I read a group of postings about this on the forum, but I am convinced that God did not except Cain's sacrifice because it was bloodless. But to answer your question, God would not ask us to do something like this and not tell us what was acceptable and what was not, so He must have told them. later...wdc |

8 | Who are the sons and daughters? | Gen 6:4 | wdc | 1993 | ||
Just an observation here on the Nephilim in Gen. 6:4. Everyone always assumes that they were the result of a union between the daughters of men and the sons of God. The text does not say that, notice closley: (Gen 6:4) There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. It says they were there in those days and after that.... I'm not sure they were the result of the activity going on here, or if they were a race of people or beings that were already there. It does there were children born due to the union, but the Hebrew nephiyl is not used of these children. Just a thought. later...wdc |

9 | How did they do it? | Ex 7:10 | wdc | 28676 | ||
Beth7, Satan can do all kinds of things and empower his servants to do lying signs and wonders. (2 Th 2:9) Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, We are warned over and over not to be deceived, because Satan is a master of deception. Remember Satan and his servants can even transform themselves into ministers of righteousness and angels of light, 2 Cor. 11:13-15. Hope this helps. later...wdc |

10 | God dwells in the praise of his people? | Ps 48:10 | wdc | 28252 | ||
Hello Margie, Ps. 22:3 is the verse you are looking for. The KJV says God "inhabitest the praises of Israel." In the Hebrew, the word inhabitest (Strong H3427) means; properly to sit down (specifically as judge, in ambush, in quiet); by implication to dwell, to remain; causatuvely to settle, to marry. So I think it is safe to say that God dwells in our praises. later...wdc |

11 | Where is Plan of Salvation Found? | Isaiah | wdc | 4059 | ||
Hank, When I read your question, the first passage that came to mind was 1 Cor. 15:1-4. (1) Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;(2) By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.(3) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;(4) And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Paul here sets forth clearly and concisely the gospel that he preached. If you are speaking to a group of people that are non-Christians, most likely they are un-Churched as well and not fimiliar with Church words either. That is way I like this passage. The passage also leads to good questions they may ask or that you can lead into. Why did Jesus die or how does His death affect us? What does His burial and resurrection have to do with anything? Why according to the Scriptures? Three days? I am used to these questions because I use this passage quite often in circumstances you are refering to. You can take these questions and teach the whole Bible if you have time. later...wdc |

13 | Is prophecy dead? Since when? | Matt 11:13 | wdc | 1880 | ||
Dear Charis, If prophecy is dead, then God is a liar. The Bible says in the last days that prophecy will be one of the things that God pours out on His people. (Joel 2:28) And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: We are living in the last days according to Peter in Acts 2:14 and 17. Peter points out that the prophecy of Joel was to be fulfilled in the last days, and then he says that what they saw happening was the fulfillment, meaning he thought he was in the last days, and if he was in the last days, surely we are. I think the real question or point would be, what is prophecy? The definition you gave earlier was good, it is the giving forth of God's word. If you look closely at the O.T. prophets, most of them simply repeated what God told them, they weren't really predicting, but repeating what God told them to say, "then the word of the Lord came saying...etc." I hope this helps. Remember, it is what God says that counts and not what theology or doctrine says, God says He will use prophecy in these days. But notice in the prophecy of Joel, tongues is never mentioned, but that's another question for another time. later...wdc |

14 | What are the 'signs of the times'? | Matt 16:3 | wdc | 12743 | ||
Nolan, After reading many of your postings, I'm sure you know this, but here goes anyway. One answer to what are the signs of the times is found in Matthew 24:1-8. Jesus said these things would precede His coming and the end of the age. Matthew 24:1-8 (1) And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple.(2) And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.(3) And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?(4) And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. (5) For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.(6) And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.(7) For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. (8) All these are the beginning of sorrows. There are other signs, but is a good general list. I also believe we are living in the time period Jesus foretold. later...wdc |

15 | Can religion lure us away from God? | Matt 23:13 | wdc | 4054 | ||
Hank, The best example for religion keeping someone form intimacy with God is the Pharisees. Jesus constantly cautioned them about letting the traditions they received from their fathers keep them from the truth of God. Mt. 15:1-8 is good example. (1) Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,(2) Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. (3) But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?(4) For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.(5) But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;(6) And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.(7) Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,(8) This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. Notice in this passage also that Jesus says they have made the commandment or Word of God of none effect by their traditions. This is the only place or thing in the Bible I can find that a statement like this made about it. There is nothing that can take away the power of the Word in our lives like tradition or religion. When we follow tradition or religion, we are saying the Word is no good, we need something else. If the doctrines or traditions of our Churches are not Scriptural, they are tradition, and make the Word of God of no effect. Let us be brave and go where few will dare tread today and follow the Word instead of traditions. later...wdc |

16 | where was good hell b4 Abrahams bossom? | Luke 16:19 | wdc | 207 | ||
The good hell? has been there since God created it. I believe only became Abraham's bossom after Abraham became the Father of the Jewish nation. That is what they call it. | ||||||
17 | Church Age? | Acts 2:17 | wdc | 1951 | ||
Hey Charis, A couple of thoughts about Peter's statement in Acts 2:17 and the prophecy in Joel that he quotes. First, everything that Joel said would happen in the last days did not happen in Acts 2, I mean the signs in the sky, (Joel 2:30) And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. (Joel 2:31) The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. Unless it refers back to when Christ died on the cross, there was darkness and an earthquake. I think Peter was inspired when he used the prophecy, but it was not completely fulfilled on that day. It is a prophecy with a double fulfillment so to speak. (Some would call it a partial fulfillment, with the complete fulfillment to come at the appointed time) The ultimate fulfillment will come in the last days, which we live in, during the Day of the Lord, all of the signs given by Joel will happen. I talked about this a little in my posting of 3-26-01 to your question on whether prophecy was dead or not, I think that was you. Second, in Joel, he talks about many other things happening that we are (at least I think am) pretty sure that they will not happen until the Day of the Lord, when Christ returns to defeat antichrist and establish His kingdom. I also think the last days to some extent covers what we call the Church age, and that we are nearing the end of time as we know it. Also, maybe just to incite conversation, even though Peter and Paul, esp. Paul, were inspired by the Holy Spirit in their preaching and teaching, I think they were very free with some of their applications of O. T. scripture, I mean sometime I read something of Paul where he refers back to some O.T. teaching and I can't figure out how he arrived at that, except the Lord told him. I hope this not to confusing, sometime the things that I think are clear to me, but I can't get them across to others very clear. later...wdc |

18 | Jesus' name baptism? | Acts 2:38 | wdc | 4753 | ||
Hello, Here is something I posted a while back to this same question. I just thought I'd put here again. Here is my thought on this subject. It is one that I have studied because I asked the same question and got the same standard answers. In Mat. 28:19 we are told this: (Mat 28:19) Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Then in the book of Acts, we see the Apostles baptizing people and they baptize them in Jesus name and not the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost. Using the Bible as my guide and not men's opinion nor doctrine. I have come to this understanding. Jesus is the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. It was in Jesus that God revealed Himself to mankind. Hebrews says, (Heb 1:1) God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, (Heb 1:2) Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (Heb 1:3) Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Jesus is what we know of God. Everything we learn or understand about God we pretty much learned from or through Jesus. So I believe doing everything (Col. 3:17) in the name of Jesus is doing everything in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Remember also that John 14-16 says when He, the Spirit is come, he glorify Jesus, not God. So I see everything in Jesus bringing glory to God the Father. By the way, I believe in the trinity, but in God's wisdom, He chose to reveal Himself to us in Jesus, one man, His only begotten Son. WDC |

19 | On What Should the Sinner Focus? | Rom 1:16 | wdc | 103371 | ||
Hank, A sinner should focus on nothing but the cross of Jesus Christ. That is the only thing that can save him and take away his sin and guilt. Paul said in Rom. 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes:..." There is no mention of anything else, the gospel tells us that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and the only way to be saved is to come to Him in repentance and faith. There is no mention of water. We are baptized out of obedience to Him because we are saved. Everything the sinner finds in salvation is wrapped up in what Jesus did on the cross. The power to overcome sin comes through the cross, not water, Col. 2:13-15 "And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses; blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross; and having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it." Everything we have comes by the cross. I could go on and on, but you get the point. wdc |

20 | How is Christ the end of the law? | Rom 10:4 | wdc | 13027 | ||
Bill, Christ is the end of the law because He fulfilled the law. (Mat 5:17) Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. In His life, He kept all the requirements of the law the way God commanded them to be kept. In doing so, He is the end of law for righteousness, and for us. (2 Cor 5:21) For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. When we come to Him in faith, the righteousness of the law is imparted to us because of what He has done in His life and on the cross. Romans 8:3-4 (3) For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:(4) That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. This is why we can be accepted by God, not by what have done or can do, but by what Jesus did, and enter that by faith. Hope this helps. later...wdc |
