1 | revelation 1 9-20 | Exodus | LuvHisWurds | 171057 | ||
Within the Holy of holies, the lampstand was for light (Ex 35:14). Jesus said no one lights a lamp and hides it (Luke 8:16, 11:33). That is the church today (as well as then) - a light to the world that desperately needs to see. | ||||||
2 | Have you seen His grace in your life? | Rev 22:21 | LuvHisWurds | 171055 | ||
Searcher, I have to admit conflicted in this BECAUSE of experiencing His grace. Paul probably explains it best in how I grapple with this to the Philippians (1:23-26). I was diagnosed terminal (as are we all) in 1995 and told I had a year to live at best. In 2001, I had emergency brain surgery with little hope held out as a result of an infection that left me paralyzed for 3 weeks and affected my motor skills permanently. In 2004, I had another close encounter with death as a result of an esophageal infection that was resistant to the known medicines at that time. Each time, God told me "Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10 - this ones interpretation - "shut up and watch") In Jer 29:11 God told the Israelites, "I know the plans I have for you..." I find it is all a matter of God's timing and grace to be here on a daily basis, with a purpose (as all Christians should). In Him, Don |

3 | how do we know people we never met | Luke | LuvHisWurds | 171054 | ||
It is my belief (loosely based on Luke 16) that we will not have recollection or knowledge of those that are not there for two reasons: 1) While Lazarus recognized the beggar, there is no indication that the beggar recognized or was aware of Lazarus. 2) In, Rev 21:4, there is a promise of no more crying or pain (of which having recollections of love ones lost would cause). I must admit - there is a looseness with belief and this is being presented as opinion. |

4 | Who is the Bride of Christ? | Eph 5:23 | LuvHisWurds | 171052 | ||
The comparison is made in Eph 5:23 of Christ and His Church to that of the husband and wife. Verse 24-25 is a little more specific of that "bride" being presented to Christ | ||||||

According to those listed in Scripture, Stephen (Acts 6-8), followed by James (Acts 12:2) | ||||||
6 | where was good hell b4 Abrahams bossom? | Luke | LuvHisWurds | 171048 | ||
Long story short, Hades contained both the righteous dead (Paradise) as well as the wicked dead (Hades) - both awaitng judgement for final destination of Hell or heaven (Luke 16). I have written quite a bit on this subject if interested. | ||||||
7 | First Rain? | Gen 2:5 | LuvHisWurds | 171046 | ||
Prior to Noah, streams came up from the earth (Gen 2:5-6). During the flood, "springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens" (Gen 8:1-2)constituted the waters. | ||||||
8 | when did it rain for the first time? | Gen 2:5 | LuvHisWurds | 171045 | ||
Yes - prior to Noah, streams came up from the earth (Gen 2:5-6). During the flood, "springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens" (Gen 8:1-2)constituted the waters. | ||||||
9 | the Bible Alone | 2 Thess 2:15 | LuvHisWurds | 170940 | ||
There is a difference in the "Apostles teaching" and the "word of mouth" instructions given at the time of the Apostles (through the miraculous gifts of the Spirit of prophecy, knowledge and wisdom) - versus - having the Scriptures that God has preserved for us in what we need to know today. In that, "sola scripture" IS sufficient for today. | ||||||
10 | G Friday - Sunday is less than 3 days-wh | Matt 12:40 | LuvHisWurds | 168126 | ||
To try to work backwards from the "three days and three nights" to arrive at a Thursday Crucifixion is in error with the mountain of evidence of Friday Crucifixion/Sunday Resurrection (Scripture, as well as early church fathers writings). I agree with the Jewsish idiom to account for the three days (as Matthew uses elsewhere - cf. 16:21, 17:23, etc), but Matt 12:39 is very specific. [The Jewish oral law - the Talmud says "A day and a night are an onah and a portion of an onah is as the whole of it."] It is also interesting to note that in almost every case that Christ refers to the "third day" or "three days" in reference to His resurrection, He also includes His sufferings, betrayal, etc (MT 16:21, 17:22, 20:18, LK 24:6, LK 24:21-45). For that reason, we must examine what occurred on the evening before the Crucifixion as well as what exactly Jesus meant to his audience in the "heart of the earth" statement. I submit that Jesus was referring to His sufferings, the beginnings of His separation from the Father as he took sin upon Himself (Isaiah 53:4-5). We can look on that period, in our 21st century colored glasses and see that Christ, in Spirit, was in Hades yet this was not the case for the Pharisees that Jesus was talking to. When examining the phrase "heart (center) of the earth (world)" we have to consider that Jesus, in His sufferings (as well as His Crucifixion), was separated from the Father, in "the heart of the earth." This may not be the case, but it is certainly a situation worth considering and worthy in reviewing the awe-full sufferings of our Lord. It is also worthy to note that in the context, Jesus is showing that One greater than these (temple 12:6; prophets 12:39; kings 12:40 - the sum of Judaism) is here. The "sign" they were looking for was a direct revelation from God, not a mere miracle as would be the case with the healing of the shriveled hand they had just witnessed or the "more" miraculous rising of Lazarus to come (FOUR days). This "sign" was that the Messiah would not only be dead and raised from life but that He alone would or could take on Himself our sins. In Christ, Don |
