1 | OT vers - winning over offended brother | Prov 18:19 | 2ndSamuel22 | 63161 | ||
Dear jini, You will find this verse in Proverbs 18:19--"A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city, And contentions are like the bars of a citadel."(NASB) Peace to you!! 2nd samuel 22 |

2 | Who was the mother of twelve sons? | Genesis | 2ndSamuel22 | 55443 | ||
Dear Angelface, If you mean, "who was the mother of JACOB'S twelve sons", the answer would be found in Genesis 35:23-26-- 23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: 24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin: 25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali: 26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram. Not to sound mean or anything, but I too am beginning to wonder why all the questions? God is my Strength and Power, and He makes my way perfect!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

3 | Can we lose our righteousness? | Heb 10:14 | 2ndSamuel22 | 54247 | ||
Dear McGracer, Once we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, we are sanctified, set apart for God's use. Does that mean we can go about our lives doing what we want, living in the sins of our "old man"? No. We must live our lives as Christ. Otherwise, it is not saving faith(James 2:17-19). This is not to be confused with "salvation by works", for those who think it is what we do that "earns" us our salvation. Now, does that mean that if we, as humans, mess up and fail Him(as we are so good at doing), He will cast us from His sight? No. Because, as Galatians 2:20 says, it is not I, but Christ who lives in me, "and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God." And again, Colossians 3:3, "For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God." Those who accept the free gift of the grace of God through Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and give their lives to Him, He will "give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand."(John 10:28-29 NASB) God is my strength and power, and He makes my way perfect!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

4 | John5:1-9 "Do you want to get well?" | John 5:6 | 2ndSamuel22 | 54173 | ||
Dear lialia, In addition to mommapbs' thoughtful response, I would add this: He asked this question for the same reason people have to be convinced to accept the free gift of Grace of God through Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It should be a no-brainer, so why do some still reject it? Because, as you said, it means they would have to change. Contrast this story with the woman who had the flow of blood(Matthew 9:20-22), who took it upon herself to demonstrate her faith in Jesus' ability to heal her. God is my strength and power, and He makes my way perfect!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

5 | DO NOT BE YOKED WITH UNBELIEVERS.... | 2 Cor 6:14 | 2ndSamuel22 | 53491 | ||
Dear heaven, You have done well in coming here, instead of any secular therapist or shrink. You seem to be very strong in your conviction, and yes Satan will come after you as well. But stay strong, resist the devil, and he shall flee. When you feel or hear him coming around, tell him, "In the name of Jesus Christ my Lord, I command you to be gone." Satan must flee at the command of the name of Jesus. Here is my take on what must be done to bring your boyfriend back to his senses: 1. You must understand that YOU cannot change him. This can only be done by the Spirit of conviction. Remember, we do not choose God, He chooses us(John 15:16). We are but a vessel for God to work through, and to be glorified through. 2. Pray. After that, pray. And again, pray(Luke 18:7). And don't pray from a strictly defensive standpoint. Attack Satan. Invoke the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord, His Holy Blood, and quote Scripture constantly. This was how Jesus rebuked Satan in Matthew 4. By quoting Scripture. Besides, if you notice in Ephesians ch.6(the whole armour of God), the word of God is the only weapon of offense. So use it. 3. Do not abandon him. I don't mean you should go back to dating him yet, but call him, tell him you are praying for him. Let him hear Christ in your voice. Do not get angry with him(I know that may be difficult). Plead with him not so much for him to come back to you, but for him to return to his first Love, Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ(Revelations 2:4). 4. Pray. Pray for God to show you if it is His will that the two of you get back together. Do not do anything until you get your answer from Him. In conclusion, remember that even though your boyfriend may have left, God never will. If you always have Him in your heart, you will never be alone. He will be your Comforter(John 16:7). Your Provider(Genesis 22:14). Your Life(John 14:6). May the peace of God be with you. God Bless!! He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

6 | Why do people try to disprove baptism? | John 3:5 | 2ndSamuel22 | 53411 | ||
Dear NLightNMe, I can appreciate your feelings on this matter, as can many others on this forum. It shows that you truly love God, and want to know and do the truth of God's word. As for the question of why some of us so passionately argue that baptism is not necessary for salvation, I will give you my opinion, for what it's worth..:) Yes, I do believe we should all be baptized. It is a public profession of faith in Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. And it symbolizes the fact that, as our bodies are cleansed by the water, our souls are cleansed by the Holy and Precious Blood of the Lamb. Salvation comes by a changed heart, then once we are saved, the public profession. However, it is not necessary in order to be saved. Yes, when any passage mentions people being saved(Lydia, the Roman jailer, the AEthiopian eunuch), they are then baptized. But, whenever the conditions for salvation are mentioned, they are: repent, believe, confess.(Romans 10:9, Acts 16:29-31). Otherwise(and this is another subject which we have beaten into the ground), Jesus could not have told the thief they would be together in Paradise. Another reason I believe this way is this: If someone accepts Christ as their Lord and Saviour, and crossing the street to be baptized they get hit and killed by a car, are they going to hell? No. When Jesus cried,"It is finished", He meant "It is finished", or from the Greek, "Paid in full." He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

7 | Where is Luke 4:18 in the Old Testament? | Is 61:1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 53230 | ||
Dear nsgrace, You will find the aforementioned verse in Isaiah 61:1. A really good study-bible website is blueletterbible.org It has many useful tools. Dictionaries, a Strong's concordance, and commentaries from such scholars as Charles Spurgeon and Matthew Henry. It is well worth your time. He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

8 | Saul and David - knew him or not? | 1 Sam 17:56 | 2ndSamuel22 | 52466 | ||
Dear prayon, The key(as pointed out by the great Matthew Henry) is in I Samuel 17:15, which mentions David returning home to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem. Thus, Saul may not have even imagined that the lad would show up on the battlefield. Also, Saul probably did not think a boy of "fair countenance" who was "cunning on the harp" could defeat such a formidable foe as Goliath. Continue in praise, lifting up holy hands!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

9 | Whose sons were prophesied to? | 1 Sam 2:34 | 2ndSamuel22 | 52324 | ||

10 | Sacrificing his daughter? | Judges | 2ndSamuel22 | 52189 | ||
Dear Cyclist, The passage you are looking for is in the Book of the Judges, chapter 11. It is the story of Jephthah(not to be confused with Japheth, son of Noah). Jephthah promised God that if He delivered the children of Ammon into his hand, he would offer the first living thing that greeted him when he got home. It just so happened that it was his daughter who came out to greet him. May the Grace of Our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

11 | Heb.13:15 This verse addresses our prais | Eph 5:19 | 2ndSamuel22 | 52101 | ||
Dear Grace and Truth, So you go back to the old "arguing from silence" approach? Because it doesn't say it in a CERTAIN VERSE you pick out, we shouldn't do it, right? You seem more intent on the 'logos' word, rather than the 'rhema' word. I have shown you time and again verses IN THE BIBLE, which show God's APPROVAL for playing instruments. Yet, on a consistent basis, you avoid answering the verses I give you. I have even posted the Strong's definitions. Yet all we get from you is your opinion on certain passages, with nothing to back it up!! Why? What are you afraid of? Also, Paul was not the only apostle to have a Book included in the Bible, and yet he seems to be the only one you quote. For your infromation, James, Peter(twice), John(FIVE--COUNT 'EM--FIVE TIMES) and others have had epistles, Gospels, and prophetic books included in the Holy Word of God. Why do you ignore them? I do not mean to sound bitter, but it gets very frustrating when you make valid arguments to someone, and they completely ignore them without answer, or answer them out of context. Would you please give a valid response to the passages I quoted. Thank you. PS: Reread the definition of "psalms" I gave you, maybe that will clear things up. May the Grace of Our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

12 | Church choirs? | Bible general Archive 1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 52049 | ||
Dear Raven, James 5:13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him SING PSALMS.(KJV) Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with PSALMS AND HYMNS AND SPIRITUAL SONGS, SINGING with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Col 3:17 WHATEVER you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.(NASB) 1 Cor 14:15 What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also. Raven, you mentioned Malachi 3:6, how God never changes. This is true. And there may not be any SPECIFIC mention of choirs, all throughout Scripture we read about singing to the LORD. Look at the titles of so many of the Psalms. They are addressed "To the chief musician..." In Revelations, the angels and the 24 elders come before God with songs and harps. We are to love our God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Singing, if it comes from the heart, is pleasing to God, whether one person or an entire choir. May the Grace of Our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

13 | So I ask you again, where do you get you | Eph 5:19 | 2ndSamuel22 | 52034 | ||
Greetings Grace and Truth!! I hate to disagree with you again, but.... 1 Tim 2:8 Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, LIFTING UP HOLY HANDS, without wrath and dissension.(NASB) Rev 5:8 When He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a HARP and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. (NASB) Rev 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers HARPING WITH THEIR HARPS:(KJV) The angels in Revelations were playing their harps, pleasing God with their music. In the presence of God Himself. May the Grace of Our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

15 | what is the breastplate of righteouness | Ephesians | 2ndSamuel22 | 51760 | ||
Greetings gospelcom!! In order to explain what is meant by the "whole armour of God", I'll take you back a couple of verses, to vv11-13. The Apostle Paul is telling us that when we become Christians, then the wars we wage are not of flesh, but against "principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."(KJV) So, we must cover ourselves with Christ, and all of His weapons: v 14 --The girdle of truth. In Paul's day, what men wore into battle was much different than today. They wore flowing garments, which gave their legs mobility. Now, these garments needed to be cinched up at the waist, so they wouldn't trip on the fabric. In this same vein, God's truth is what binds everything together, and allows us to fight the enemy more effectively. --The breastplate of righteousness. The breastplate covers the heart. And in Matthew 15:18-19, Jesus says, "But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders." So we must cover our hearts with Christ's righteousness, that we would not give into those things. v.15 --cover your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Often, the ground a battle was fought on would have shard of glass or metal buried in it, so if you didn't have the right footwear on, you would cut your feet, and be rendered ineffective for battle. The same way Satan lays little traps for us to trip on, so we must be preapred by always walking by faith(II Corinthians 5:7), on the promise of the Gospel. v.16 --The shield of faith. Shields back then were made of thick leather, and before the battle, they would be soaked in water, so when the enemy fired flaming arrows(darts) at them, the water in the shields would extinguish the flame. When Satan attacks, and fires at us with old thoughts, or trying to convict us of old sins, our faith in Christ will allow us to put out those darts, knowing that we have already been forgiven. v.17 --The helmet of salvation. Let our minds be covered by the knowledge that we have eternal life if we are truly saved, and let those thoughts guide our way. --The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Notice, this is the only offensive weapon Paul mentions. Other similar verses: Heb 4:12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Rev 19:15 From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron;... (NASB) Notice also in Matthew chapter 4, when Satan tries to tempt Jesus, how does He respond? With Scripture. It is one of our greatest weapons against the enemy.

16 | why can't a christian dink or dance | Bible general Archive 1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 51475 | ||
Greetings ENS!! First off, I would like to commend you for your strength in resisting your peers' pressures on you to do something you do not feel comfortable doing. To add to the excellent posit offered by SSprln, I would offer the following: 1 Pet 2:13 Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, 1 Pet 2:14 or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right In other words, God(through the Apostle Peter) is commanding us to obey the laws of the land.(I am assuming that you are in high school? If not, then I apologize) And in all 50 states, you must be 21 to drink alcohol(although there are some people well over 21 who should not drink at all. But I digress) So, you have Scripture on your side there. As far as dancing itself, no there is no biblical prohibiton as long as it is done in a dignified manner. However, when it is done in a lewd and lascivious manner, then it does become disgraceful. May the Grace of our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

19 | interracial origins and marriage/child | Bible general Archive 1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 51363 | ||
Greetings consumedbythecall!! God does command the children of Israel not to marry(or give their children in marraige to) groups like the Canaanites, Amalekites, etc. BUT that is only because they worshipped other gods. If any of these people came to worship the LORD God of Abraham, then they could marry them. Take Boaz(a Jew) for example. He married a Moabitess(Ruth), who had accepted the LORD as God. She begat Obed, who begat Jesse, who begat David. Also, we learn in Numbers 12:1 that Moses himself had married an AEthiopian woman. ------------------------------------ Furthermore, consider this: Matt 19:17c but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." Matt 19:18b Then he said to Him, "Which ones?" Matt 19:19b YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."(NASB) [edited for space] Now, compare this passage with some verses from 1 John-- 1 John 2:4 The one who says, "I have come to know Him," and DOES NOT KEEP His commandments, is a LIAR, and the truth is NOT in him;...(NASB)[emphases mine] ------------------------------------ 1 John 2:9 The one who says he is in the Light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now. 1 John 2:10 The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 1 John 2:11 But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes. (NASB) We are commanded in Matthew 19(and Leviticus 19) to love our meighbor. So, according to I John 2, if we do not love our neighbor, we have not kept His commandments, and the truth is not in us. In my opinion(and I dare say the opinion of all in this forum), anyone who perverts Scripture to try to justify bigotry and hatred deserves whatever punishment the Judge has waiting for him.

20 | books on how they lived and believed? | Bible general Archive 1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 51359 | ||
Greetings Browser!! There are many, many books on the Apostles and their contemporaries. I do not know the exact titles, but one idea would be to go to Amazon.com or bn.com(Barnes and Noble's website) and type in the subject you are looking for. To make it easier, you may want to add the word "apostle" (if indeed they are one). That way, you don't come back with 8 billion titles/authors with the name Paul or Peter..:) May the Grace of Our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |
