1 | 144,000 | Rev 14:1 | Emmy | 120036 | ||
The 144000 are people of Israel They are 12000 from each tribe of Israel The are sealed with the seal of God before the angels are to blow the trumpets or trumpet judgements occur. They are with Christ on mount zion when he returns. They will go with Him wherever He goes after that. SInce they are sealed for protection against the trumpets, they survive the judgments they are protected from. They are likely alive when Christ returns. Sincerely Henry and Emmy |

2 | i just dont understandthe verse. | Matt 1:1 | Emmy | 119358 | ||
Matt 10:21 "And brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. THIS MEANS IN THE END TIMES PEOPLE WILL BETRAY ONE ANOTHER TO THE AUTORITIES. THIS WILL HAPPEN EVEN WITHIN FAMILLIES, RESULTING IN THE DEATH OF THOSE BETRAYED. Sincerely Henry and Emmy |

3 | Is there a scripture to document Jesus h | Isaiah | Emmy | 119355 | ||
Isaiah 53:2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. EVEN BEFORE CHRIST WAS BEATEN, HE WAS NOT GOOD LOOKING PHYSICALLY THAT ANYONE SHOULD BE ATTRACTED TO HIM FOR THAT REASON. BUT TO GOD THE FATHER HE WAS LIKE A FRESH SHOOT IN A DRY DESERT. Isaiah 52:14 Just as there were many who were appalled at him -- his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness-- THIS IS A DESCRIPTION OF HIM AS HE APPEARED IN HIS LAST HOURS. THE MOVIE ACCOUNT WAS PROBABLY NOT TOO FAR OFF, AS TO THE SEVERITY OF HIS STRIPES. We know of no other description. He was pierced on the cross, but it does not say that we know of that that occured also before His crucifixion Sincerely Henry and Emmy |

4 | Are unbelievers in any way "saved"? | Heb 11:1 | Emmy | 118976 | ||
Hi GB: I have posted other explanations for your question, but was pointed in your direction by another person on the forum. In case you missed my posting I'll send this to you so that you will get notice of it personally. You are probably familiar with these two thoughts, which I believe to be true. 1. No one can be saved, except by Christ. 2. Christ died once for ALL. One does not have to hear the story about Christ crucified in order to be saved by Him. One need ever to come across the gospel in order to be saved by Him. Here is why. From the time of Christ to present times, NOT ALL have heard or read the gospel. In fact if it were necessary to hear the gospel, the gospel would have had to be available for ALL people the world over within one generation of Christ's death, else they could not be saved. YET Christ died for ALL. Not only would the gospel had to have been distributed throughout the world from the start, but it would have been available to all people all the time since the death and resurrection of Christ. Can one argue that the gospel was preached from the time of Christ's death to the time of discovery of America by the Europeans to the natives of North and South America ? The answer to that is that the natives of the America's during this period of time did NOT hear the gospel, yet Christ died for ALL. In short if Christ died for ALL. and All did not hear the gospel, then Christ died for those who hear the gospel, but also for those who do not hear the gospel. Romans 1:19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. This is how one can be saved without hearing the gospel: 1.Observe the divine nature of God through creation 2.Make effort draw closer to God 3.If one draws close to God, God will draw close to that one. 4. Christ will reach out and save that person just as He saved one who reads and believes the gospel. This does not diminish the gospel in any way. It is miraculous, and full of wisdom and instruction. This same gospel says Christ died for ALL. Therefore one who has not heard the gospel is included. Sincerly Henry and Emmy. |

Hi Kalos LOL on the code I sent that anyone can read. Sincerely Henry and Emmy |

6 | Individuals in Acts expecting tongues? | NT general Archive 1 | Emmy | 118849 | ||
Hi Kalos: Logically speaking you leave no option as which question to choose, A or B You say the question is not answered unless there is chapter or verse. Therefore one wanting to answer A cannot, because there would be no chapter and verse. This suggests you think the answer is B. I do not know why you come to that conclusion. That does not mean I disagree, just that I don't know. If you send me chapter and verse that you think applies, I'll tell you what we think it means. You can send it in code if you like. This would let your question stand for others on the forum. code 48 means 0 49 means 1 50 means 2 etc I know it is from Acts So if you send 4948:5049 I would decode as Acts 10:21 Sincerely Henry and Emmy P.S. Did I guess right about your choice of A or B? |

7 | desperate for help | 1 Tim 5:8 | Emmy | 118418 | ||
1 Tim 5:8 And whoever does not provide for relatives, and especially for family members, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. If your husband is actually neglecting you and his children, his desire to be an apostle is in vain according to this passage. An apostle of Christ is to love even strangers, let alone his own wife and children. What does he have to teach other if indeed he does strike his own wife. No real apostle would do this. The unfortunate thing is that if he is behaving improperly regarding love and care for his family he is not only running the risk of giving a real Christian a bad name, but doing serious harm first to himself, and possibly to you and the children. Your real problem is not having too much of a Christian, but not enough. One who does not provide for his family is worse than a non believer, and what could be worse than that ? Answer: a non believer who does not change his non belief, or a believer who neglects his family and does not turn from it. One neglecting his family even if a believer serves no one but his own interests which cannot be Christ like. Your problem is that if he is neglectful, and I of course do not know that, he is unlikely to agree with the passage quoted above, though someone show it to him, whisper it in his ear, or scream it at him at the top of ones voice. Many unbelieving husbands do better than neglect their family members. Wanting him to fall out of a plane is not appropriate if you are Christian yourself. Is it not ironic that a believer in Christ can actually be worse off than a non believer. Not as bad, but worse. Sincerely Henry and Emmy |

8 | spirit/soul of the lost | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmy | 117987 | ||
Hi: Samuel was righteous,and King Saul was not. Yet Samuel said Sam 28:19 "Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines. And tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Samuel and Saul in the same place when dead. Paul was also in Paradise according to hisown words, and so was John in Revelation. Both went when they were still alive. Both did not stay. Both died after coming back. Why would you think the thief on the cross went when he was dead. This is an interpretation, which the passage does not specify. When Jesus died, He went into the bowls of the earth it says, and preached to the dead. Then He was resurrected. Samuel came UP OUT OF THE EARTH when he was called up from the dead. The only interpretation left for that passage is that if the thief went to Paradise with Christ that day, it happened when they were both still alive. According to Solomon the righteous and unrighteous have the same fate when they die. They go to the place of the dead, where Jesus Himself also went for three days when He died. I have shown you two examples of persons while alive going to Paradise. Can you show me one where a dead person goes to paradise, other than the one in question which does NOT state that the thief was dead when he went. Saying that this thief went to Paradise when he died is to contradict the words of Solomon that in death, the righteous and unrighteous have the same fate. This fact was revealed to Solomon by the same sourse as any prophet, which sourse is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit does not contradict Himself. If He taught Solomon that they have the same fate, and that the dead know nothing, it must be true. In which case you have jumped to a conclusion that the thief was dead when he went to Paradise that day as opposed to being alive. Sincerely Henry and Emmy |

9 | soul of unsaved people | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmy | 117920 | ||
Hi: The same thing happens to the soul of the righteous as happens to the unrighteous according to this passage from scripture. The difference in what happens to them occurs when they are resurrected in their own time. Eccl 9:1 All this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hate one does not know. Everything that confronts them 2 is vanity, since the same fate comes to all, to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil, to the clean and the unclean, to those who sacrifice and those who do not sacrifice. As are the good, so are the sinners; those who swear are like those who shun an oath. 3 This is an evil in all that happens under the sun, that the same fate comes to everyone. Moreover, the hearts of all are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead. We all go to the dead.ie where the other dead are. We remain so till we are brought back to life in thte resurrection. Resurrection means brought back to life. The first resurrection has not yet occured, therefore no one except Christ has ever been brought back to everlasting life. We wait for His return. Sincerely Henry and Emmy |

10 | What's does the seven seals mean? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmy | 117811 | ||
Hi: Seven seals are events or sets of events that are to take place some time in the future. The events described in the first 6 seals happen before Christ returns. The 7th seal contains the events of the 7 trumpet judgements. The first 6 trumpets have their own events described in turn. The 7th trumpet itself contains the 7 bowl or last judgements of God on the sinners on the earth. The first 6 bowls are devastating events. The 7th bowl includes the Battle of Armageddon, where the kings of the earth, enticed by Satan, the beast and false prophet, fight Christ and his angels. This last battle is not the end of the earth, but ends the rule of man on earth. After this battle, Christ reign and does so forever more. I can expand on this more if you like. Sincerely Henry and Emmy. |

11 | Growing in Grace and Knowledge | 2 Pet 3:18 | Emmy | 117424 | ||
Hi: We are born of the Spirit because God so chose. He chooses us rather than we choosing Him. He chose us from before the foundation of the world. When we are born, we are a "babe" in Christ. A beginning Christian or Babe is unskilled in righteousness, both in the understanding of it and because of this lack of knowledge also carrying it out. We cannot carry out what we do not know how to do. To advance from this "Babe" stage to the mature stage, is also not in our power to do, but if God wills it, we will mature through His help. We will learn through the Spirit to gain knowledge, and through applying what we learn we grow in righteousness ( if that is what you mean by grace. A "babe" knows about repentance, baptism, faith, forgiveness, judgement and the like, but is unskilled in righteousness both in knowledge and working of it. "Milk" is the beginning things mentioned above. "Srong meat is knowledge of righteousness and living in it for the mature Christian. Scripture references: The scripture that tells us this is the following: Hebrews 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Once we have a beginning we must strive to not stop at this point, but to become mature Christians. We can only do this if God permits it. Hebrews 6:6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this will we do, if God permit. IN short your answer is this: We have no power in being born again. It is something that God controls. God also has a real hand in whether we mature or not after we are born. We can have an interest or zeal for God, He does the rest. We are are wholy dependent on Him. We depend on Him to be born again. We depend on Him to sustain us after that. Sincerely Henry and Emmy |

12 | How Do You Stay on Track? | Ps 23:3 | Emmy | 116936 | ||
Hi Hank: Your comparison of a train on track and God keeping us on track is interesting. I see one addition though. A train can jump the tracks God's tracks are sound and do not fail. All will be well if we stay on the train, and don't jump off. Jumping off would be turning our back on our faith, which we are encouraged to not do. Will respond to some other things you sent Sincerely Henry and Emmy. |

13 | is there security of the believer | Rom 8:39 | Emmy | 116672 | ||
If one remains in Him then yes, but do "abide" Make the choice to abide, and no one can remove you. 1 John 2: 28 And now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming. Sincerely Henry and Emmy |

14 | spirit and soul Difference? | Is 34:16 | Emmy | 116126 | ||
Soul and Spirit: A soul is a spirit. SOUL Your soul is "you". Your physical body that other can see, is not you. Your body is just dust. Your soul resides in your body. Your soul can live without your present body. Your body dies if the soul is taken out. Other spirits can reside in your body too, including an evil spirit, or the HOLY SPIRIT. In your body only ONE spirit is your soul. That one spirit is "you" SPIRIT There are many spirits Spirits can live outside of bodies. Other spirits can be in your body, and affect how you act and think. One of these spirits that can do this is the HOLY SPIRIT. It encouranges your soul to live following Christ. It is your teacher, the only one you really need, and the only one you can really trust. It treaches the soul the truth about God. 1John 2: 26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. 27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit--just as it has taught you, remain in him. |

15 | Dead in Christ, what does this mean? | Rom 6:3 | Emmy | 116124 | ||
Dead in Christ: The dead in Christ are resurrected when He returns. These will rule with Him for 1000 years. They also meet him in the air along with those that are changed in the twinkling of an eye. They will live with the Lord forever. To be dead in Christ means the person died, but before he died he was a true Christian. He/she was a believer in Christ and was born again. ie received the Holy Spirit. It is simply a person who having the Holy Spirit in him/her dies. sincerely Henry |

16 | Who does the Father draw to Christ? | John 6:44 | Emmy | 115364 | ||
Christ died once for all it says in scriptures. This means all have the opportunity to be saved by Christ's sacrifice. Not all take advantage of the offer, andreject it for one reason or another. God the Father knows who are searching HIm out. He draws these to Christ, and Christ in turn teaches those drawn to Him about the Father. Not only does he give them information on understanding the Father, but His sacrifice actually cleanses them from sin so that they are redeemed as sons to the Father. |
