1 | why was paul so careful | Phil 4:11 | One | 138557 | ||
I don’t think Paul here is trying to say he is not dependent on their gifts, but he wants them to know he is not dependent on things. Paul later speaks of a secret of being happy in wealth and in poverty and when he is hungry and when he is filled. The key is to know that you can do all things through God. This is a great verse for a new Christian because it is easy for most to see how we might have struggles when we are poor or hungry. However, we don’t see the problem with wealth or being filled. We see these as blessings and what is the problem here? Take a look at this verse: Prov 30:8 Keep deception and lies far from me, Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my portion, 9 That I not be full and deny You and say, "Who is the LORD?" Or that I not be in want and steal, And profane the name of my God. You see the rich and the poor both have struggles that are different. Paul here let us see happiness doesn’t come from knowing what we want or what we need. Paul here lets a Christian know that happiness come when we limit our desires by saying all I need is God! |

2 | Two versions of conversation? | Matt 27:44 | One | 106581 | ||
Let me confuse you a little more before I give you what I feel is the solution. The question is not why one of the robbers change thier mind, the true question is why did both robbers change thier minds? If you look at Lukes account both robbers asked to have thier life save. One asked for Jesus to save himself and then save us (physiscal life). The other asked for his spiritual life to be save (Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!")Now let us all remember the end of the story Luke 23:47 Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began praising God, saying, "Certainly this man was innocent." At first none of the people at the cross were believers (Except the core followers there) but in the end many were convinced Jesus was the son of God. |

4 | Why transliterate "baptizo"? | Bible general Archive 1 | One | 77083 | ||
In the days of the KJV the Catholic Church practiced sprinkling exclusively. If the translators would have translated it immersion King James would have most likely cut their heads off (Cutting their heads off is a personal opinion). So to keep from getting in trouble with the king and to stay honest with the text they transliterated the word baptizo. | ||||||
5 | what was moses attitude toward women? | Bible general Archive 1 | One | 74341 | ||
1 Pet 3:7 You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. The Bible has always treated women as the equal of man even though wives are to be submissive to their husbands. Just like the Father and the Son are equal yet Christ had a submissive role to the Father. The Koran is much different there you will find women have a submissive role, however if they do not obey their husbands the husband is instructed to beat their wife and refuse her to sleep with him. Surah 004 (AN-NISAA) : Ayah 034 004.034 Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because God has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what God would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For God is Most High, great (above you all). |

6 | Was Daniel a eunuch? | Ezek 14:14 | One | 73589 | ||
It really not all that clear many think Isa 39:7 refers to Daniel and the Hebrew children and in some versions it says they where made eunuchs which differs from the NASB "they were made officials." Others use the verses below to show he did have children. Those who believe Daniel was a eunuch say Ezekel was using this as an example saying more or less even if Daniel had sons or daughters they could not be save by Daniel’s righteousness, which is possible. Ezek 14:14 even though these three men, Noah, Daniel and Job were in its midst, by their own righteousness they could only deliver themselves," declares the Lord GOD. Ezek 14:20 even though Noah, Daniel and Job were in its midst, as I live," declares the Lord GOD, "they could not deliver either their son or their daughter. They would deliver only themselves by their righteousness." |

7 | Answer or not? Proverbs 26:4,5 | Prov 26:4 | One | 73487 | ||
I think Jesus gave us an example of the answer to this question when He answerd the the leaders trying to trick Him, not as they wanted, but answerd in wisdom. Luke 20:22 "Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" Luke 20:23 But He detected their trickery and said to them, Luke 20:24 "Show Me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?" They said, "Caesar's." Luke 20:25 And He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." Luke 20:26 And they were unable to catch Him in a saying in the presence of the people; and being amazed at His answer, they became silent. |

8 | How can we experience God's presence? | Mark 6:48 | One | 73445 | ||
Mark 6:48 Seeing them straining at the oars, for the wind was against them, at about the fourth watch of the night He *came to them, walking on the sea; and He intended to pass by them. Read this story some time it is good. Basically Jesus has sent His disciples a head to the other side of a lake that a few miles across. The disciples row all night and are now only half way across. Jesus has spent all night watching them and praying now He walks out on the water to them and intends on passing them by. So where is Jesus during their struggle? Watching! Where is He when there afraid on the water? Waiting for them to call out! To many times I think we are like the apostles we struggle asking where is God, instead of saying God help me have strength to endure, and know God is there watching rooting us on. |

9 | John12:23-36 | John | One | 73442 | ||
dup Here is the gist of the passage: Jesus is about to die and in dying God’s eternal plan will be complete. This will enable God’s people to be redeemed from sin and death. Jesus in this way likes His body to a see and when He dies and is buried many people will believe because of Him and His resurrection. This will enable Jesus to “bear fruit.” When He speaks of Loving or hating life He speaks of this life. Too many people today don’t follow Christ in this life because they want to have fun in this life. Those of us who are Christians in many way can hate this life because of the pain. When I see murder, people living in sin and loving it, it makes me hate this world and want to live with God. When this happens we find our life because we make the decision to live with Christ and like Christ. |

11 | Gambing | Bible general Archive 1 | One | 73403 | ||
The Bible really doesn’t say any thing about gambling per say. I think the big thing is that gambling is based on covetousness. Now some people get risk confused with gambling, the two are simply not the same. I hear a lot stock and investments are gambling but I hold there is a big difference. Say I go to the Luck Dog Casino who wants me to win? Not the casino, you have to lose for them to win and vice versa. So you want what they have and they want what is yours and last time I checked that is covetousness. Stock and investments are different. When I invest in a company who wants me to lose my money, not the co, not the employees, no one. Because when I make money everyone wins. | ||||||

13 | Servanthood? | Matt 20:28 | One | 73088 | ||
look at every thing Jesus did. When His disciples were fighting Jesus got down and washed there feet. Jesus teaching revolved around leaders serve. I think alot of guys today need to hear this when they start in on how the husband is the head of the family. They need to know that makes us the head servant. | ||||||
14 | How can God change his mind? | Jer 18:10 | One | 73082 | ||
I have been married 15 years now and I have a daughter that is nine years old. My daughter is bad about leaving Barbie dolls around the living room. Once I told her if she left her Barbies’ lying around the living room I would put them up. Keep in mind I was 100 percent sure she would do this some time in the future. So why didn’t I just scoop up her Barbies’ and put them in the closet? I think the answer is obvious the warnings, admonishments, and punishments we give our children are not because we lack understanding it is because they do. It is not for our benefit but for theirs. Keep in mind the whole purpose in God saying I’ll do this or that is to change our behavior, just like parents do with are kids. |

15 | in John 21:15-17 What 3 words for love | John 21:15 | One | 73025 | ||
I think this hits it right on the head with what new creature said. To me Jesus asks about three different levels of love. 1. Do you love (agape) me "more than these?" Ie rest of disciples. 2. Do you love (agape) me? Or do you even have agape love for Me? 3. Do you love(phileo) me? Here I think is why Peter was sad Jesus finaly asks "Do you even love me like a friend? |

18 | Jehovah and YHWH | Bible general Archive 1 | One | 72474 | ||
Jehovah and YHWH are the same. Yhwh is Hebrew and Jehovah is the English equivalent. It is kind of like John and Juan. To the Jews YHWH was sacred and they never said it aloud. So when ever a Hebrew would come to the word Jehovah or YHWH while reading the Bible publicly they would say the word Lord or adoni. So while Jehovah is the true form of the word given the historical contest Lord is not wrong. | ||||||
19 | Why does God bet with Satan in Job? | Bible general Archive 1 | One | 71716 | ||
James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone Keep in mind both Jesus and Job were tempted, not Just Job. Since God cannot temp anyone God allows Satan to tempt His people. Why? Look what Job said about his trial. Job 23:10 "But He knows the way I take; When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold. Consider also what James said. James 1:2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, James 1:3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. James 1:4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. God allows our being tempted to bring about spiritual maturity and strength. |
