1 | baptizem | Gal 5:19 | Shaul | 226144 | ||
I am not the person who answered your first question but I am going to answer this one for you. Baptism is not the first issue we have to deal with here. We have to deal with whether or not your fathers death bed acceptance was even honored by G-d in the first place. Here is an answer that you need to consider. If your Fathers Name was not Written in the Book of Life from the Foundations of the earth - his death bed acceptance is of no use. This goes for everyone. If we as believers do not adhere to the letters to the 7 Assemblies as per Revelations 2 and 3 - we as believers whose names are written in the book of life can have our names blotted out of the book of life. Then we have to look at things like Galations 5:19 and 5:22 to determine whether or not a person has a chance at having their death bed acceptance accepted. Why? Because is true repentance possible if we are not alive to prove it to G-d? Think on this one. I know I am giving you more questions then answers right now - but only you know your father better then anyone other then G-d himself. Now - where ever two or more are gathered in the Messiahs name - what ever they ask will be granted. Did two or more true believers Pray that G-d would give your father the chance to have salvation? If yes - then you have to hope that your prayers were answered before your father dies or that your father was sent to Paradise just like the Thief was. Being sent to Paradise did not mean that the Thief or your father would have eternal salvation - what it meant was that they would have the opportunity to hear the Messiah and then to decide if they wanted to accept him or not. You and I both have the same problem when it comes to unsaved parents so what I speak to also goes for me as well. Now - to Baptism - Acceptance and Baptism are part of the salvation package. True baptism must be done in a stream or a river where the water is Moving - not in a bath tub or with a sprinkling of water. Then there is the question of the Holy Spirit. How can the Holy Spirit enter a person on his death bed in the last few minutes or hours of his life? THink on it and let us know what you come up with. I am not telling you Yes or No on your question because only Father Knows for Sure - but we can have Hope and Faith and make sure that we walk uprightly the rest of our days which is the most important answer you are seeking. We can only answer for ourselves on judgement day. My parents and your parents can only answer for themselves on judgement day. You are not going to give up your salvation for your father or anyone. The entire subject you ask about is covered big time in scripture and would take a very long time to study. I recommend that if my answer does not satisfy you that you get down to some serious studying to find out the answer yourself. It can not hurt. You might actually teach me something on this subject were you to do so. |

2 | Carry the whole Tabernacle or the parts | Lev 6:13 | Shaul | 226142 | ||
you first have to understand that the Tent of Meeting which included the Tabernacle and the altar and the Ark of the Covenant are all separate items in the same story. All items were meant to be put up and taken down everytime the Israelites moved from one location to the other. Your question is excellent and not one I had considered before - but since you bring it up - here is the answer in question form. can 4 men carry a cast iron object of any kind that has burning Olive Oil in it and then have someone carrying Olive Oil to add to the Pot when the Oil is getting low. the Answer is Yes. You also need to consider that it took 4 men to carry the Ark of the Covenant which was made of Acassia wood and inlaid inside and out with Gold. You also need to consider that 15,000 Levite priests were assigned to the task of do all the work necessary to maintain the Tent of Meeting all their in. A very huge undertaking, but not so hard for that many Levites to handle. Read - Exodus 25, 26, 27 to see how the Tent of Meeting was to be created - it will help you understand. You also need to always remember that with G-d - nothing is impossible, but with men, well..... G-d knows how to make everything work properly and he was the Boss over the operation you speak of. Give him Praise and Glory and Honor for doing what you might think is impossible. |

3 | Romans 6:7, does it apply to all people? | Rom 6:7 | Shaul | 226141 | ||
answer #1 - Paul was writing to the believers in the assemblies. He was telling them that anyone who became a true believer would be included as per Romans chapter 6 verse 7. One thing you need to consider is that back in those days - many believers were Jews and as such could not be classified as Christians and even today, I am a believer but not a Christian. This may not make sense to you - but it will if you really study this subject in depth. Answer #2 - Paul was writing to the real people of the real assemblies of believers. He was not being cryptic. Therefore the 144,000 referred to in Revelation would most likely not be his audience since they are a special group reserved for the End Times which we are now in. So, If Paul were alive today - his writings might very well include the 144,000 but would not have been specifically addressed to them since only Father G-d knows who they are. Answer #3 - Other Christians as well as believing Jews all benefit from Paul's letters. There should never be an "Other Believers" Statement. Answer #4 - If you are referring to the 144,000 as being the elect or you are referring to all believers as the elect - you will get two answers. But Virgin means that they are not part of the world system and therefore are not defiled by the world system which is in opposition to G-d. Men can not be virgins in the physical sense. Only woman can be virgins physically. Virgin really means undefiled. Ok - try this on for size - they do not become part of any religion - not - christianity - not Catholosism - not Judiasm - not any They do not take part in politics They may or may not have sex with a Wife - I tend to think they might have wives if they are old enough. They might be New Borns or children or Retarded in the eyes of the world. In all cases - they are innocent in many ways. They are as close to sinless as can be even though they were born to sin. I would recommend that you do not frustrate yourself if you still do not understand - but know this - most Bible thumpers would not like them because they are two pure for most uneducated believers who still are on milk and have not graduated to meat as Paul clearly states. Hope this helps you a little bit. Now the term Elect can be used for many believers of which only 144,000, 12,000 from each of the Twelve tribes mentioned ( not including the tribe of Dan ). Ask yourself why Dan was not included. Read Revelation 7:7 Read Genesis 49:1 to 49:28 Read Exodus 1:2 |
