See Micah 5:2, 4 and Matthew 2:1-6. | ||||||
2 | when were the angels created? | Gen 1:1 | Bauhinia | 189890 | ||
Job 38:4-7 will answer your question: "Where were you [Job] when I [God] laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding, Who set its measurements? Since you know. Or who stretched the line on it? On what were its bases sunk? Or who laid its cornerstone, When the morning stars sang together And all the sons of God shouted for joy?" (NASB) Yes, all of God's sons, the angels, were applauding when God created the earth. These are not dead humans since there were no humans yet! Adam and Eve were yet to be created. |

3 | Why is BLOOD involved in SALVATION? | Heb 9:22 | Bauhinia | 189710 | ||
Leviticus 17:11 explains: "The life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement." | ||||||
4 | When does Moses put men in charge? | Exodus | Bauhinia | 189709 | ||
Jethro was the "priest of Midian" descended from Abraham, who'd lived with Moses some 40 years. (Exodus 2:16; 3:1; 18:12; Deuteronomy 1:9-15) Hence, his advice was in harmony with God's will and so would be from God. (Compare 2 Chronicles 35:20-22.) | ||||||
5 | Am I still Married "in God's eyes"? | NT general Archive 1 | Bauhinia | 189661 | ||
Please see Matthew 19:9. It says: "I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for [sexual] immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery." Mark 10:12 says: "If she herself divorces her husband and marries another man [except for sexual immorality], she is committing adultery." So, you are not free to date or marry another man until you have this ground! So, you can try to follow the advice of 1 Corinthians 7:10, 11: "To the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce [leave, separate from] his wife." So, at the moment, your husband is not an example to the congregation. |

7 | How many Jesus do we have in the Bible? | NT general Archive 1 | Bauhinia | 189589 | ||
Three: (1) "Joshua," Greek "Iesous"--Acts 7:45; Hebrews 4:8; (2) Luke 3:29; (3) Colossians 4:11. | ||||||
8 | Isaiah 52:14 has "my people" - why? | Bible general Archive 3 | Bauhinia | 189574 | ||
The expression "My people," evidently unbelieving Jews, is in italics indicating its supplied by the translator. The Amplified reads: "Behold, My Servant shall deal wisely and shall prosper; He shall be exalted and extolled and shall stand very high. [For many the Servant of God became an object of horror; many were astonished at Him.] His face and His whole appearance were marred more than any man's, and His form beyond that of the sons of men--but just as many were astonished at Him, so shall He startle and sprinkle many nations." The Bible tells us that Jesus was "being reviled." This would be by God's people, the Jews. However, they would not remain unpunishable. (Matthew 23:37-24:2; 1 Peter 2:23) |

9 | How did the people of the OT GO 2 HEAVEN | Bible general Archive 3 | Bauhinia | 189433 | ||
Jesus said: "No one has ascended into heaven." (John 3:13) Acts 2:34 says: "It was not David who ascended into heaven." Colossians 1:18 says: "[Jesus] is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything." "The Holy Spirit is signifying this, that the way into the holy place [heaven] has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle is still standing, which is a symbol for the present time. We have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh." (Hebrews 9:8, 24; 10:19, 20) |

10 | Church sued by members - now what? | 1 Cor 6:7 | Bauhinia | 189055 | ||
We could try 1 Corinthians 13:5, AMP, and Ephesians 4:1-3: "Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]." "Walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." It seems somebody in this situation is not following this counsel to 'not insist on his own rights' and 'be diligent to preserve unity.' Then again, Jesus did say: "Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is my own?" (Matthew 20:15) Maybe its "lawful" for church b to 'do what they wish with what is their own'! However, it could be evidence that these individuals are not spirit-guided, being "self-controlled, holding fast the faithful word"!--Titus 1:5-9; Genesis 13:8. |

11 | Church sued by members - now what? | 1 Cor 6:7 | Bauhinia | 189052 | ||
Like I began the answer, if you consider it carefully, it should answer your question! "Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?" "Lawsuits with one another" suggests one is suing and another is being sued, doesn't it? Then we read: "Why not rather be wronged?"--See Matthew 18:15-17. |
||||||
12 | Church sued by members - now what? | 1 Cor 6:7 | Bauhinia | 189050 | ||
By considering 1 Corinthians 6:1-9 carefully, you should be able to come to a conclusion. However, reading and understanding God's Word and living by it are two different things! We read: "Does any one of you, when he has a case against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and not before the saints? Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life? "So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church? I say this to your shame. "Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his brethren, but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers? Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded? "On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud. You do this even to your brethren. Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?" |

13 | Should I leave my church? | Luke 18:8 | Bauhinia | 189049 | ||
Revelation 18:2-5 mentions a "voice from heaven" which gives you direction. "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird. For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the passion of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the wealth of her sensuality." What does this "voice" tell 'God's people' to do? "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues; for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities." See also Isaiah 52:11; 2 Corinthians 6:14-17. |
||||||
14 | Saved or not ? | Jer 17:9 | Bauhinia | 189037 | ||
We're told, "Look well to yourself [to your own personality] and to [your] teaching; persevere in these things [hold to them], for by so doing you will save both yourself and those who hear you." (1 Timothy 4:16, AMP) By 'paying close attention to himself and his teaching,' a person can 'save himself.' |

15 | H Priest 12 stones-what significance tod | Revelation | Bauhinia | 189014 | ||
Revelation 21:12, 19, 20 shows that they represent the reality of the "great and high wall [of New Jerusalem], with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel" which had "foundation stones" which "were adorned with every kind of precious stone," twelve in all. Hence, they illustrate the priestly feature of New Jerusalem, "the bride, the wife of the Lamb."--See 2 Corinthians 11:2; Revelation 1:5, 6; 5:9, 10; 20:6; 21:9. |

16 | where is heaven is it on earth | Rev 12:8 | Bauhinia | 188992 | ||
Revelation 12:8, 9, 12 reads: "There was no longer a place found for them in heaven." Who? "The devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him." Thus heaven is not on earth, but above in relation to earth, a realm invisible to human eyes. "For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time." After the devil was cast out of heaven, heaven became once again a place of peace, tranquility and delight, but not so the earth! Happily, we only have to endure it for "a short time"! |
||||||
17 | What does "the perfect" mean? | 1 Cor 13:10 | Bauhinia | 188943 | ||
You need to consider verse 9. It mentions that "our knowledge is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect)." So, the thing that is "perfect" and "partial" is knowledge. Thus the more knowledge a person has, the more he can prophecy, the less knowledge, the less he can speak. 1 Corinthians 12:8 mentions one gift being "a word [or message] of knowledge." This is the incomplete or partial knowledge that "will be done away" in verse 8 and replaced with "perfect [knowledge]." Since Paul wrote, we now have the complete Bible, a complete message.--Compare Daniel 12:4. |
||||||
18 | Tell satan's job when he was in heave | Revelation | Bauhinia | 188851 | ||
When do you believe he was cast out of heaven? (See Job 1:6-12; Proverbs 27:11; Revelation 12:7-12.) | ||||||
19 | DISCIPLES TURN PEOPLE AWAY | Bible general Archive 3 | Bauhinia | 188843 | ||
Consider the full account: " Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the district of Tyre and Sidon. And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, 'Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed.' But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, 'Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us.' But He answered and said, 'I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.' But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, 'Lord, help me!' And He answered and said, 'It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.' But she said, 'Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.' Then Jesus said to her, 'O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.' And her daughter was healed at once." She wasn't an Israelite, but her daughter was healed! Thus she wasn't turned away. Incidently, the Christian congregation had not yet been formed until Pentecost. So, God was still dealing exclusively with the "house of Israel" at that time. (Matthew 23:37-24:2) Later they could join the congregation after Cornelius.--Acts chapter 10. |
||||||
20 | There are a few righteous in the Bible | Rom 3:10 | Bauhinia | 188765 | ||
Abel, Noah, Abraham were specifically called "righteous." (Matthew 23:35; Hebrews 11:7) What may help you is James 2:23, where it says of Abraham and other righteous pre-Christians: "'ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS,' and he was called the friend of God." Hence pre-Christian worshippers are considered righteous as 'friends of God.' |
