1 | Difficulty with a Brother in the Church? | 1 Cor 16:14 | Psalm 25 | 187818 | ||
Jamey, First we'll need to know what type of problem? There's a lot in scripture to guide us when we have problems but need to know what is the problem Psalm 25 |

2 | I am refering to the 4 Beasts Danielsaw | Dan 7:1 | Psalm 25 | 187804 | ||
Loretta, I am not up on all that Daniel chapter seven goes into but thought I would give you a good website: http://www.truthnet.org/Daniel/Chapter7/ It is quite involved, hope this helps, Psalm 25 |

chach, The details are too numberous to include here so I would suggest that you visit this web site as it goes into much detail and addresses the same issue of "Jesus' accuracy." http://www.biblestudy.org/basicart/threeday.html Psalm 25 |

4 | Can you lose your salvation? | Eph 1:13 | Psalm 25 | 187798 | ||
Greetings 1cheech, This debate could go on and on with many scriptures trying to prove either side. I always refer to Ephesians 1:13 as my proof text. In the Greek where we have the phrase "you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise," this indicates a one time action in the past. Those who are genuinely born again, have been sealed, by the Holy Spirit, before they actually were saved. To be sealed by God, through the Holy Spirit, can not be "unsealed." If it is not by ourselves we get saved, then how could we then "keep saved?" It's either all of God or it's not. Jesus said, "all that the Father gives me I lose none." If God sent His Son to save us and picked us up out of the sea of sin, would He then leave it up to us "to stay in the boat?" |

5 | Is Porn A Sin? | Heb 13:4 | Psalm 25 | 187790 | ||
silentloser, "You got to be kidding?" (no offense intended) On what basis would it not be? This is too delicate an issue to fully address in this format. In the garden of Eden, after the sin and fall, God Himself covered their nakedness. Porn, my friend, is a devastating and deeply carnal activity. |

6 | Can not do the postion as of now | Matthew | Psalm 25 | 187772 | ||
mae68, Please clarify what you are asking. It sounds like you are unable to get to church and are asking the Pastor to replace you and he responded by asking if you are sure. Can you be more specific? If you are sincerely unable to continue then you should not feel bad about this. Of course, I have no idea what the details are and what your position or duties were. Let us know, Psalm 25 |

7 | 3 days,3nights in the earth | Matthew | Psalm 25 | 187700 | ||
chach, From what I know you already have the most excepted explaination. The Jews considered the next day as starting at 6pm. Thus, each 24 hour period began at 6pm until 6pm the next day. So if you count what we would call "a fragment of a day," according to the way we calculate a 24 hour period, then Jesus was 3 days and 3 nights. Hope this helps Psalm 25 |

8 | I have a problem with Mat 27:53 | Matt 27:53 | Psalm 25 | 187647 | ||
If you are asking did they "stay in" their graves? Or do you mean they were held in Abraham's bosom until the resurrection? While their bodies were in the grave their souls were in Abraham's bosom, then, their souls were somewhat reunited with their bodies at the resurrection. I assume that they then were given "glorified bodies" and were able to acsend into heaven. Question answered? Psalm 25 |

9 | Who was Barabbas? | John 18:40 | Psalm 25 | 187596 | ||
Congo, Can't find much about him. you may have to go to a library. The Jewish historian "Josephus" is said to be a very reliable source for many things happening in and around the time of Christ. Some of this may help: The Gospels all state that there was a custom at Passover during which the Roman governor would release a prisoner of the crowd's choice. Mark 15:6; present in the earliest manuscripts and may be a later gloss to Matt. 27:15; John 18:39; Luke 23:17 (though this verse in Luke is not bring Luke into conformity)[8] The gospels differ on whether the custom was a Roman one or a Jewish one. Such a release or custom of such a release is not recorded in any other historical document. Some point to the perception of Pontius Pilate's disregard for Jewish sensibilities; the idea of him honouring Jewish Passover in any way may not fit with historical accounts of his character. However, other historians take the exact opposite approach, arguing that Pilate showed careful regard to customs in order to avoid revolts in an unruly province, and this may be an example of Pilate creating an "ad hoc" tradition in order to avoid a possibly explosive situation. The gospels, however, portray Pilate not as the one in control of the situation, and have him pleading with the crowd that they choose Jesus to be the one to be released, and involuntarily surrendering to their decision. An alternate, if not converse, reading of the events involving Barrabbas can also be made, however. Given that Barrabbas was described by some to be a revolutionary or a terrorist, it stands to reason that his acts of terror and revolt would have been directed against the Romans. In this case, it would be logical to assume that Barrabbas might have been viewed by the people as something of a folk hero. A freedom fighter / insurgent taking the fight to the Roman occupiers. When Barrabbas is seen through this lens, it appears that Pilates' choice to the people was not much of a choice at all. If Pilate were to offer a local hero to the people as an alternative to Jesus, they would most certainly choose to free the hero. Thus, Pilate could bring about the execution of a dangerous man of God without seeming to actually be responsible for his death. This argument is also supported in the events of Luke 23:6-12. Pilate claims no jurisdiction over Jesus because he is from Gallilee (Jerusalem was in Judea) and passes him along to King Herod to be sentenced. In spite of the fact that Herod was an actual King of the Jews and would therefore be politically threatened by Jesus, and despite having already ordered the death of John the Baptist, Herod's reaction is to ridicule Jesus for a time, and then to pass him right back to Pilate. The result of Herod's apparent assent to Pilate's jurisdiction over Jesus is said to have brought about a truce between the two men in Luke 23:12. This event, along with the "vote" between Barrabbas and Jesus, and taken with the fact that it was the Jewish Sanhedrin who had brought Jesus before Pilate in the first place, would seem to illustrate that Jesus was something of a political hot potato whom everyone from the leaders of the Temple hierarchy, to the Romans, to the Hebrew aristocracy would just as soon be rid of, but whom no one wanted to take the actual responsibility for killing. When seen in this light, it appears that everyone involved, and therefore no one group or person in particular, is responsible for the crucifiction of Jesus. Thus, all "sons of God", are responsible for the death of this actual Son of God. If Pilate did not offer a choice between Jesus and another person, several possible explanations for the origin of such a story have been offered by a number of scholars |

10 | writing by bartholomew? | Acts 1:13 | Psalm 25 | 187594 | ||
Hello justsomebody, No, not that I could find. Here is what I did find, although not a lot is known about him. Bartholomew is generally supposed to have been the same person as Nathanael. In the Synoptic gospels, Philip and Bartholomew are always mentioned together, while Nathanael is never mentioned; in the gospel of John, on the other hand, Philip and Nathanael are similarly mentioned together, but nothing is said of Bartholomew. In the Gospel of John (John 1:45-51), Nathanael is introduced as a friend of Philip. He is described as initially being skeptical about the Messiah coming from Nazareth, saying: "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?", but nonetheless, follows Philip's invitation. Jesus immediately characterizes him as "an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit". Some scholars hold that Jesus' quote "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you", is based on Jewish figure of speech referring studying the Torah. Nathanael recognizes Jesus as "the Son of God" and "the King of Israel". Nathanael reappears at the end of John's gospel (John 21:2) as one of the disciples to whom Jesus appeared at the Sea of Tiberias after the resurrection. Hope this helps, Psalm 25 |

12 | What Bible says about fear/knowledge | 1 John 4:18 | Psalm 25 | 187579 | ||
Greetings hilary234, There are many things that cause us to fear. To know God, who and what He is, and not just knowledge but to "experience Him," is the key scripturally to reducing and/or eliminating our fears. 1 John 4:18 "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. What this whole section of scripture is saying is that "to love God whole-heartedly and to love others whole-heartedly is the key to eliminating fear. Most of our fears are worry and concern about "self." Self-centeredness is the monumental problem of all mankind. To love God and trust in Him completely goes hand in hand with loving others. Love your neighbor as yourself is the stepping stone to a worry free life as it puts you "in the center of God's will." Does this help? Psalm 25 |

13 | Are we something before we were somethin | Is 43:7 | Psalm 25 | 187406 | ||
Greetings DLA, Psalm 139:13-18 declare that God knew us and formed us in the womb. This Psalm is very clear that God knew us and uniquely created us and then ordained each and every day of our lives. Ephesians 1:4 says, "just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him In love." This also shows God's knowing us and choosing us before creation was completed. Interesting isn't it? Does this answer you questions? Psalm 25 |

15 | Could and can disciples forgive sins? | John 20:23 | Psalm 25 | 187362 | ||
Hello Ken, This is one of those difficult passages to comprehend. Since we know that only God, and Jesus is also, can forgive sin then what was Jesus implying here? Jesus was sending them out to witness and evalgelize.So, in a sense He was commissioning them to spread the good news. The disciples were Jesus' direct representatives and were acting on His behalf. Hope this helps, it's rather a "simplistic explanation." Psalm 25 |

16 | should all we be speaking tongues aloud | 1 Cor 14:23 | Psalm 25 | 187149 | ||
Good question hodgit, My question is "how is it possible to authenticate speaking in tongues?" Every single example in the New Testament is "a known earthly language." I do not say tongues are not for today as the scriptures do not declare that as a "fact." The Bible says to "prove all things," but many of the pentecostal practices today can not be authenticated. I know many wonderful, godly penticostal folks and I have asked them the same question. Unfortunately their responses all rely on emotional feelings and "experiences" and not scriptures. The scriptures they use do not prove their position. What do you think? In Him, Psalm 25 |

17 | Can the Spirit be impersonated? | Matt 7:21 | Psalm 25 | 187022 | ||
ebrain, Hope I can respond "better than last time!" I believe the only way to measure fruit is Galations 5:22 in light of 1 Corinthians 13. As far as I know the concept "of fruit," Biblically based is that of agape-love. Many today say "look at the fruits of the work or ministry," while the scriptures describe "fruit" not in terms of results (?) but in light of Galations 5 and 1 Corinthians 13. Jesus said in Matthew 7:16-24 that "many will say to Me on that day..." proving that (so called) works is not the qualifier nor the many who thought they were genuine believers. The fact that you or anyone is truly concerned, in my opinion, demonstrates that the Holy Spirit is alive and well within you. Genuine godly love, and a true thirst for knowing God is what sets the believer apart. What do you think? In Him, Psalm 25 |

20 | Ephesian Prayer | Ephesians | Psalm 25 | 187002 | ||
Can you be more specific? As I see it the prayer in verses 18,19 is that they understand what Paul is teaching in verses 1 through 17. Paul has just explained in detail whom God chose in Christ and how this all relates to each believer. Verse 15 "For this reason I too..." (NASB)Paul having heard of their faith and their love, is giving thanks for it (their faith) and praying that they too may (fully) know the hope of their calling. Then, verses 20 thru 23 go on to sum up Christ's unique position in all this and His authority and power. Do you have a "New American Standard Bible," or the Amplified Bible? These two versions are almost self explanitory. Did this help? Psalm 25 |
