1 | What year did Jesus die? | Bible general Archive 1 | Katherine | 51131 | ||
I don't think we have a much better idea of a date for Jesus' death than we have for his birth. I am curious to know what prompted your question. | ||||||
2 | a different spirit ? | Num 14:24 | Katherine | 51129 | ||
I imagine the text here refers to the evidence that Caleb had faith in God's promise about the land even though the others who saw it with him, except for Joshua, were overwhelmed by the prospect of trying to take it away from the people living there. They all thought the land was as good as God said it was, but only Caleb and Joshua believed that God could deliver it to them. Forty years later, after Moses' death, Caleb and Joshua not only entered the land but fought for and took possession of their own inheritances. Caleb's spirit was in tune with God's spirit, and that made him different from the rest of the people. | ||||||
3 | Mom died Angry with God | Bible general Archive 1 | Katherine | 50148 | ||
I am sorry you are faced with such a challenge. When you love someone who is going through such an experience, it is hard to know what is the right thing to do. You need to nurture your own faith and be a spiritual guide in the upbringing of your son. You want your boyfriend back in the same relationship with you and with God that he had before his mother died. You are all in my prayers as you deal with the problems. I will share with you that my mother's death had a tremendous impact on me, because she was very angry with me at the time of her death. Her anger had no justification, which made it much harder for me to deal with. It took almost three years for me to come to grips with my attitude. It didn't happen until I made an intense commitment to figure out what my relationship to my mother was all about, and the first step I made was to lay my own anger and resentment, not my mother's anger, on God's altar to be burned. I had to learn that my attitude could not be justified by her attitude. You can't preach at your boyfriend about his attitude, but you can keep the faith yourself and keep lifting him up to the Lord. As you talk to the Lord, be listening as well, for him to guide your words and actions toward your boyfriend. The Holy Spirit is a guide who can be trusted. God keep all of you safe. |

4 | Kingdom of God Spiritual or Phisical? | Bible general Archive 1 | Katherine | 36922 | ||
I think your phrase "attitude of the heart" is a very good description. The condition of our hearts produces our actions in the physical world, and our actions can produce changes in the physical world. What we do because we love the Lord really does have an effect in the physical realm. Look at Mother Teresa, for example. Yet none of us, not even Mother Teresa, can make the world over. If the kingdom were physical, NASA could photograph it from some satellite, and all of us would be fighting to get in. Instead, the kingdom is within, fighting our worst impulses in an attempt to get out. Katherine |
