1 | isan't moses and elijah dead | Luke 9:30 | Hiskid84 | 130710 | ||
Two answers: In the case of Moses, because the resurection of the dead has not yet occured. In the case of Elijah, because he never died. | ||||||
2 | why evangalise if God has already chosen | Rom 10:14 | Hiskid84 | 130708 | ||
We evangelize because because we are commanded to do so. Charles hadon Spurgeon used to say something to the effect that if God had painted a yellow stripe down the back of the elect, he would have run around London lifting up shirt tails. Since God hadn't done that, Spurgeon had to preach to all men. Doc (On the far-better-half's computer) |

4 | Do we receive *holy *spirit as a gift? | Luke 11:13 | Hiskid84 | 130094 | ||
Ray, I don't know how welcome my comments will be but, since you asked, I'm going to share them. Frankly, I'm puzzled by your use of the lower case letters when refering to the 3rd member of the Trinity. Romans 8:9-10 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. (NKJ) These verses plainly state that if the Holy Spirit is in you, Christ is in you. Do you use lower case letters to refer to Christ? Was Christ not a gift as well? I guess what I really want to know is, why do you feel it necessary to change the spelling? What is it you are accomplishing through it? Why does this awesome Gift from God need to be reduced to our level? Hoping for more insight from you. In Him, Karen |

5 | Just what is the purpose of baptism? | Heb 11:7 | Hiskid84 | 129828 | ||
Rowdy, I'm sure anything we can say has likely already been said on this forum. You posted as a question and then proceeded to answer yourself. While I am still trying to learn my way around the forum, it seems it would have been better posted as a note. I wish I had time to address more of your points. Since I don't, I will only address one; your analogy of Noah. You stated that one comparison is of "the flood being the world of sin" and "the ark being the church sealed tight against sin flooding in." Personally, I have never heard that analogy. Of course, I wasn't raised in church and had no Bible teaching in the stories that are often taught in children's classrooms. However, as an adult and since being saved, I have always interpreted the flood to be God's judgment (wiping out all people outside the ark) and the ark as being a type of Christ, providing salvation to those within the ark. The verse I cited says this: "By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith." Hebrews 11:7 NKJ I will pick this up again soon. Maybe others will respond as well. In Him, Karen |

6 | Friend of God and friend of the world? | Matt 6:24 | Hiskid84 | 129555 | ||
Hi, tgbishop. You've kept your questions fairly simple so far but I'm curious as to your wording of this one, "No one can be a friend of God and a friend of the world at the same time?" The verse you've cited speaks of being devoted to either God or the world, since we cannot serve both. Scripture plainly tells us that we cannot be devoted to God if our desire is seeking to obtain worldly things. Take the verse Hank posted to you and add the verse that follows it: "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." 1 John 2:16 Here it is in the ESV: "For all that is in the world--the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions--is not from the Father but is from the world." I wish I had more time to expound but my time at this moment is limited. To sum up so far: We live in the world. We have needs as do all humans. God tells us that He will supply our (His children's) needs. What is your heart's desire? Is it "keeping up with the Jones?" If it "feels good" will you "do it?" Are you willing to compromise your beliefs in order to "fit in" and be liked and accepted by the world around you? Or is your desire to seek God and are you motivated in your day to day living by that desire? The bottom line is a matter of the heart. Consider the following verses, especially vs. 21: Mat 6:19 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, Mat 6:20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Mat 6:22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, Mat 6:23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! Mat 6:24 "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. Mat 6:25 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Mat 6:26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Mat 6:27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? Mat 6:28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, Mat 6:29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Mat 6:30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Mat 6:31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' Mat 6:32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. Mat 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Mat 6:34 "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Would you please explain your wording of being a "friend of God and a friend of the world"? What do you mean by "friend?" Thank you! Karen |

7 | Peter say we should add to faith | 2 Pet 1:5 | Hiskid84 | 129430 | ||
Hi, tgbishop. Welcome! 2 Peter 1: 5) But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6) to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7) to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. (NKJ) I like this note from my New Geneva Study Bible: "1:5-7 The order of virtues here ("faith ---love") is not a sequence in time, as if stages of the Christian life were being described (vv.8,9). Peter is using a rhetorical figure that builds a series of elements to a climax. The begining and conclusion of the series are significant, however. Early Christian virtue lists often begin with "faith," the starting point of the Christian life, and end with "love" (Rom. 5:1-5; 1 Cor. 13), the preeminent fruit of the Christian life. In Him, Karen |
