1 | Did the disciples use 'sidearms'? | John 18:10 | Cephas | 8030 | ||
The most grotesque outworking of America's obsession with firearms and firearm contol must be Tim McVeigh's monstrous crime.I think the heart of Jesus can be seen in Luke 22:35 -which was a sad statement about how things would be after his death and ascension, not an injunction to take up arms.Peter typically took Jesus literally and showed Jesus 2 swords.Jesus'response? "That is enough". I have pondered this response often.On one view Jesus is saying the actual quantity of swords was sufficient to meet the future cicumstances,in which case there were 2 swords to go around 11 - the other sense is that Jesus was rebuking Peter's literal application i.e "That's enough (of that). |

2 | Why Destroyed? | Rev 20:14 | Cephas | 7778 | ||
Tim.Thanks again for your response.I don't know about death being a person, but it is hard to see that Hades could possibly qualify as such.I inferred that death and Hades were destroyed because it did not make sense that they would be tormented forever.What did Hades do wrong? Torturing a house forever seems a tad daft to me. | ||||||
3 | How is Jesus with us always? | Matt 28:20 | Cephas | 6715 | ||
By the Holy Spirit given at pentecost. | ||||||
4 | Did God truly forsake Jesus? | Matt 27:46 | Cephas | 6519 | ||
The answer must be yes.Jesus became sin (2Co5:21).In the instant he became our sin bearer,the Father visited upon him the judgment due for sin.I like the meaning abandon for forsake.I think God abandoned his son at the point of death to death,but restored relationship immediately death occurred because the penalty for sin had been paid in full. | ||||||

A white lie is still a lie. | ||||||
6 | Why do you continue to ask? | Bible general Archive 1 | Cephas | 5427 | ||
Actually I haven't asked my pastor and I don't think I insisted anything, least of all that God made evil.I don't think that the answers given so far are all that convincing about the origin of evil.All I think I can conclude thus far is that God made angels and men capable of evil(and good). | ||||||
