1 | Jesus is always the same | Bible general Archive 2 | CiY127 | 137032 | ||
Change how? He was alive, he died, he was resurected. That's some pretty major changes. However in all things he always did the will of the Father, that is unchanging. His earthly ministry was to Israel, his current "ministry" is as an intecessor for the saints. His function to earth has changed, but in all things he still does the will of his Father. God is love, God is light and in Him is no darkness at all, God is spirit, God is a just God, He cares for the world, He cannot lie and His ways are not our ways. In all this God does not change, but how God deals with man changes...He gave one commandment to man in the garden, He gave a different commandment to Moses, He has given the Body the ministry of reconciliation, But He is still a loving, just, pure light spirit, Father to all who believe. |

2 | Eph 2:20 "You are like a building..." | NT general Archive 1 | CiY127 | 136982 | ||
In an article: "What Is An Apostle?" Dan Gallagher writes: "In Chapter 4 of Ephesians, Paul lists what have been called the five “ascension” or “gift” ministries. The first ministry listed is that of an apostle, followed by the other ministries of prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. Paul goes on to tell us that Jesus has given these ministries to the Church to prepare God’s people for works of service and to build up the Body of Christ. He states that these ministries are here “until we all reach unity in faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ (Eph. 4:13b).” Because these functions have not yet been completed, it is logical to conclude that we should still see all five ministries present and functioning in the Church. It is not sound thinking to recognize the value of four of the gift ministries (prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers) but fail to acknowledge the Church’s need for apostles. I believe that a large portion of the problem lies with the fact that we do not really know what an apostle is; after all, it is hardly a word we use in our everyday vocabulary." "The apostle’s central purpose is to be a spiritual builder. His charge is to build community, which he does by bringing unity and balance to the mix. Paul says: “My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love…” (Col. 2:2). This is a community agenda. With all of the ministries demonstrating specialized aspects of Christ’s own character, the apostle represents the Lord’s heart to keep them balanced, working together to build spiritual communities." "Apostles move beyond planting and go into the building stages. One of the ways they do this is by bringing focus and purpose to the community of believers. Paul’s writings never stray far from his purpose, which was to encourage the saints’ hearts, uniting them in love with a view toward his ultimate goal that they would have complete experiential understanding concerning the Secret. In fact, Paul mentions an aspect of the Secret in every one of the Church Epistles. His entire life focused around the Secret, and all of his various purpose statements reinforced his vision. Like Paul, apostles must never lose their focus on unity in the one Body; it is their very purpose." |

3 | the sin that does not lead to death is ? | 1 John 5:16 | CiY127 | 136911 | ||
Matthew 13 24. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28. He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29. But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. 31. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: 32. Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. 33. Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. 34. All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: 35. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. 36. Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 37. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38. The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one [becoming a child of the wicked one is the sin unto death]; 39. The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42. And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. |

4 | why did G.. bless abram? | Neh 9:8 | CiY127 | 136855 | ||
Basically because God knew Abraham would believe. Nehemiah 9:8 And foundest his heart faithful before thee… Galatians 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. |

5 | God created Jesus? | Matt 14:30 | CiY127 | 136839 | ||
Matt 1:18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost Luke 1:26And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. 30And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 36And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. 37For with God nothing shall be impossible. 38And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. So just how did the babe Jesus get in Mary's womb, was it a magician's trick? Logic dictates that something was created in Mary's womb, the seed for impregnation, the embryo itself, etc. If you do not believe that Christ was created, then give book chapter and verse to prove it. |

Worship – as defined by Easton’s Bible Dictionary Homage rendered to God which it is sinful (idolatry) to render to any created being (Ex. 34:14; Isa. 2:8). Such worship was refused by Peter (Acts 10:25, 26) and by an angel (Rev. 22:8, 9). Praise noun (plural prais•es) 1. expression of admiration: words that express great approval or admiration |

9 | jesus on the cross , and also did god c | Matt 14:30 | CiY127 | 136811 | ||
Consider the following scriptures: John 10:30; John 12:27; John 16:32. By His very nature, our heavenly Father could not turn away from His only begotten Son, especially at the moment for which God has been preparing him all of his life. Jesus Christ was the one who trusted his Father step by step all the way to this defining moment of His-story. And then God forsook him? That just doesn't make sense. More importantly, it is not what the Bible says. Many Bible commentators and teachers have promoted the idea that Jesus became sin for us and therefore the holy God had to forsake him because God cannot stand sin. It is significant that the First Adam did sin—royally—and yet God did not forsake him. Cain sinned, and God did not forsake him either. The truth is that God has never forsaken His people because of their sin, so why would He do so with His own Son? And so, when we read Matthew 27:46—“Why have you forsaken me?”—we must ask ourselves if we really understand what Jesus said and why. Without going into depth about the Aramaic words Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani, suffice it to say that Eloi means “My God,” lama means “why,” and the root word shabak, while usually translated “forsake,” is also translated “kept” or “reserved.” Thus, the context is important to determine its meaning. Jesus was quoting from Psalm 22, verse 1, not in a cry of despair at being forsaken by God, but rather a cry of proclamation to those Jews gathered at Golgotha that what was taking place before their eyes was the fulfillment of Messianic prophecy, and that he really was who he said he was. But before we go to Psalm 22, let us consider two other verses regarding the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy in the crucifixion of Jesus: John l9:24b; Matthew 27:41-43. Keep that in mind that Jesus repeatedly referred to Old Testament prophecies to substantiate that he was the Messiah to Israel, and, you will want to follow along in your own Bible, at Psalm 22, since for space restrictions, I can’t put in the whole text. Remember that Jesus had been beaten and tortured and that he was covered with blood, no doubt many of those gathered around were people Jesus had healed, people who believed, or at least hoped, that he was the promised Messiah. What did that horrible sight on the center cross do? It assaulted their faith. Don't you think that what they saw happening might have caused them to doubt whether or not all Jesus had said was true? And so, as his manner was, Jesus Christ reached for their hearts with God's Word. He did so by quoting a section that they all knew, one that vividly sets forth that which was being enacted right in front of their eyes. He spoke to comfort those who believed on him, and at the same time gave those who did not believe, including those who were crucifying him, one more opportunity to believe that he was who he said he was—the Son of God, the Messiah. Have you ever wondered why Psalm 23 is so well known, but not Psalm 79, for example, or 32 or 57? One of the reasons is that Psalms 22, 23 and 24 form what you might call a “Messianic Trilogy,” one that virtually every Israelite knew by heart. Keep that in mind as we look at Psalm 22. Psalm 22:1 - As we read on, we will see that these are basically rhetorical questions, because after verse 18 the theme of the psalm changes radically from death unto life. Psalm 22:7 and 8: - Didn't we read something like that in Matthew 27:41-43? Yes, that very prophecy was unfolding right in front of their eyes, and Jesus was trying to call their attention to it. Psalm 22:16-18: - the Jews referred to uncircumcised people like the Romans as “dogs.” People spit on him, taunted him, and gloated over him. “They divide my garments among and cast lots for my clothing.” This could not more clearly describe what later happened at Golgotha in fulfillment of this prophecy. And it is at this point that the thrust of Psalm 22 begins to shift from death unto life, and then verse 24 indicates that God had not forsaken him! Psalm 22:24: For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. Psalm 22:31: - The last clause of verse 31 should be translated a bit differently. In the KJV you can see that the word “it” is in italics, indicating that the translators added it. The pronoun “he” should be “it,” so that the psalm closes with the words, "for it is finished." Jesus quoted the very first clause and the very last clause of a section of Scripture that they knew very, very well. With his dying breaths he affirmed one more time that he was who the Word of God said he was—the Messiah, the Son of the living God, the Redeemer of Israel and all who in the future would believe on him. |

10 | Is the grace the Holy Spirit? | Eph 2:8 | CiY127 | 136792 | ||
Grace is undeserved divine favor, in other words, a gift from God. ie. For by grace you are saved through believing; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Once you are born again, you are sealed by God, who is spirit and is holy, the Holy Spirit. His gift to every born again believer is holy spirit with in. The light is God...This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. (1 John 1:5) Hope this helps. Agape, CiY |

11 | Is this implying the stars sing/talk | Ps 19:2 | CiY127 | 136777 | ||
Psalm 19 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament showeth his handiwork. 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night showeth knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language; Their voice is not heard. "uttereth" is best rendered "constantly pours forth" and "speech" is best rendered "word". So a literal translation would be "Day after day the heavens show forth the Word of God and night after night we see his wisdom"; for as verse 3 tells us there is no speech nor language nor voice, it is a visual, not audible, message. |

Deliverance from what? | ||||||
13 | I would like to understand Deut. 22:18-2 | Deut 22:13 | CiY127 | 136771 | ||
Here is the NIV translation of these verses in context starting with verse 13: 13 If a man takes a wife and, after lying with her, dislikes her 14 and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, "I married this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity," 15 then the girl's father and mother shall bring proof that she was a virgin to the town elders at the gate. 16 The girl's father will say to the elders, "I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. 17 Now he has slandered her and said, 'I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.' But here is the proof of my daughter's virginity." Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town, 18 and the elders shall take the man and punish him. 19 They shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver [2] and give them to the girl's father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives. 20 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl's virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father's house. You must purge the evil from among you. Basicly if a man didn't like his wife all he had to do was say she wasn't a virgin when I married her. In the law this was a major deal. If the parents of the wife could prove she was a virgin (per manners and customs of the time, when the man and wife first laid together it was "witnessed" and a cloth that would catch the blood of her opening would be given to the parents. This is the token of her virginity it is speaking of.) then the husband could never divorce her and he had to pay the parents a fine. If however, the tokan or cloth couldn't be produced then the woman was to be stoned to death for her transgression against the law. Does this help you to understand more? |

14 | What is "the one who makes desolate"? | Dan 9:27 | CiY127 | 136768 | ||
Compare to Daniel 8:9-12; In the context of Dan 9:27 it speaks of the "he" (the one who makes desolate)causing the sacrifice and the oblation to cease. In Daniel 8:9 the "he" is call "a little horn" and this little horn in verse 10 "cast down of the host and of the stars to the ground" (Revelation 12:3,4 3And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth...) Then the little horn in verse 11 takes away the daily sacrifice. Conclusion, the "he" that is "the one who makes desolate" of Dan 9:27 is the little horn of Dan 8:9 who is the dragon of Rev 12:4. | ||||||
15 | woman pastors | Matt 14:30 | CiY127 | 136764 | ||
That one is a little tougher. Most of the translations of the Scripture that have been done use "men" universally. The pronouns in the original manuscript may have been masculine, feminine, or neuter, but weren't necessarily translated that way. Most of the time when the Scriptures talk of matters of the Church it speaks of both men and women using one pronoun. So when Paul says that were set in the church Apostles, Profits, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teachers, it could mean either men or women. There are verses that on the surface or if taken out of context, could have Paul forbidding women to teach, preach or otherwise have a gift ministry, and since those seem to contradict what he spoke when he told about the gift ministries, those verses must be looked at in greater depth. | ||||||
16 | is this an acceptable offering to God? | Judg 11:31 | CiY127 | 136754 | ||
Judges 11:31 (KJV)Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD’S, and [see note that follows] I will offer it up for a burnt offering. "And" is "or" The Hebrew (Vav) is a connective particle and is rendered in many different ways. It is also used as a disjunctive, and is often rendered -or- (or with a negative, -nor-). Here, Jephthah’s vow consisted of two parts (1) He would either dedicate it to Jehovah (according to Lev 27); or (2)if unsuitable for this, he would offer it as a burnt offering. He performed his vow and dedicated his daughter to Jehovah by a perpetual virginity (vv 36, 39, 40) but he did not offer her as a burnt offering. |

17 | what happened to peter walking on the | Matt 14:30 | CiY127 | 136751 | ||
Matt 14:27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be you, tell me to come to you on the water. 29 And Jesus said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.[HE, Peter, WALKED ON WATER!] 30 But [BUT] when he saw [now he's no longer looking at Jesus and trusting in HIS WORD, but looking to the circumstances of the world] the wind boisterous, he was afraid [he trusted what his eyes told him more than he trusted what Jesus told him]; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. You'll notice Jesus didn't say "tough, you couldn't believe so I'm not going to save you" Instead he saved him and taught him to believe. He does the same for us everyday! |

18 | Didn't ALL things come from God, evil to | 1 John 1:5 | CiY127 | 136694 | ||
God is light and in him is no darkness at all. God created Lucifer as His second in command, the angel of light. And He created him with free will and Lucifer chose to do evil. Just as we each have free will to choose to do good or evil. It was man that decided to sin against God. God did not create evil, it was Lucifer's rebellion against God that brought evil into the world. Ezekiel 28:15: You [Lucifer] were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, till iniquity was found in you. | ||||||
