2 | Who are "the least of these?" | Matt 25:40 | YenIsaRap | 219382 | ||
Dear RD Miller Mat 25:40 40) And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the (LEAST OF THESE MY BRETHREN), ye have done it unto me. The use of the word brethren, is brothers. Mat 25:45 45) Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the (LEAST OF THESE) ye did it not to me. The use of the term least of these, refers back to the first statement in vs. 40 with brethren. in the Greek, (least) - - figuratively - - in dignity (these) - - persons or things (my) - - mine (own), my. (brethren) - - a brother (literally or figuratively) near or remote Your question is: Who are "the least of these?" Read it for what it says, don't try to complicate it, or find some hidden meaning where there is none. In an attempt to see things, scripture clearly does not say, we then start to question the very validity of scripture itself. We are also heading into the direction of deception because we begin with the premise, I believe this to be mistranslated, or misinterpreted. That kind of a viewpoint is questioning the very validity of the Inspired Word of God. Coming to conclusions without investigating whether or not there are other places that say the same thing is categorically the wrong way to read the bible. Having said that. 1Jn 3:17 17) But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his (BROTHER) have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? This therefore is the position of the Christian, towards other Christians. Notice the use of the word (BROTHER), denoting close kin, which differs from (NEIGHBOR) denoting Everyman. Rom 12:10 10) Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Gal 6:10 10) As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. It is understood, sheep are saved. We therefore, knowing to do good, should be examples of Christ to the world. If we do these things as Christ is in us, Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee? It should be so deeply ingrained in our nature to do such things, that they will become common place in our lives, where we will not be aware of our good deeds. It is understood, goats are unsaved. Doing good is not in the nature of the unsaved, to the contrary, the nature of the unsaved is to look out for themselves. We live in a world where Christians are looked at as worthless, the same way the Jews looked at Gentiles. So then, we have become "The Least Of These" to the world. We represent Christ to the world, anything which is done for us, is as if it was done for Jesus. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee? Having done nothing, they condemn themselves. Blessings in Christ YenIsaRap |

4 | CHRISTIAN PLAYING MUSIC IN BAR | Rom 14:22 | YenIsaRap | 219096 | ||
Dear humbleheart After considering all of the responses you have given within the last 3 days, they bring me to the question. What was the initial reason you asked your question about your ministry in the first place? Because according to your question, it did have a yea, nea aspect to it. Thereby you should have been prepared for any negative response. Blessings YenIsaRap |

5 | CHRISTIAN PLAYING MUSIC IN BAR | Rom 14:22 | YenIsaRap | 219071 | ||
Dear humbleheart If the person you spoke of, stuck to his mode of witnessing, which you say he does, then I would say he was following the example of Christ. Mar 2:16,17 16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? 17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Luk 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Jesus gave us a commission to do the same. Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. After having said that. It sounds as though this person you have spoken of, isn't going to bars, casinos, etc. to witness, but to play music. Then after he is there, he uses the occasion to witness. This person should fully understand, if he is ever confronted by a club owner to cease witnessing, then he should do so, on the grounds, he came to play music, and thereby be paid for that service, I'm sure that witnessing was never part of his contract with them.

6 | Is foot washing ignored? | John 13:34 | YenIsaRap | 218709 | ||
Dear justme It appears with this story of feet washing, that Jesus was speaking about being washed clean, through the sacrifice that would be made for them, (and us), more than a direct teaching, that they should wash each others feet. Or even that foot washing should become a doctrine for us to follow. He was also expressing to them that they should become servants, not esteeming themselves to highly, humbling themselves. There are some churches that do practice it as a way of keeping themselves humble, but the practice only takes place with the pastor, elders, deacons. Does this help Yen |

7 | Who was sacrificing in the temple? | Ex 30:13 | YenIsaRap | 218702 | ||
Dear WOS You have two questions. 1 Who was sacrificing in the temple before its destruction? 2 Were followers of Christ sacrificing in the Temple? Seems as though you are under the impression, when Jesus was Crucified, all activity at the Temple ceased. There were sacrifices taking place during the life of Christ. The sacrifices continued until the Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 ad. Therefor the direct answer to you first question is, the Jewish people. As to your second question, do you honestly believe, anyone with any sense would have a belief, that the disciples were still practicing the Law by sacrificing at the Temple? Gods' Love Yen |

8 | number 5 means in the bible. | 1 Sam 17:40 | YenIsaRap | 218640 | ||
Dear shree30 As far as the number 5 goes for the examples given, they mean the number 5 Period. There is no spiritual segnifigance to it at all. "Five is the number of God's grace or His gift to man." Related Scripture: 1 Sam. 17:40; Matt. 14:17; Ex. 26:3; Lev. 26:8 "There were 5 stones that David picked up to kill Goliath. God gave him the victory. God would have given David the victory if he (David ) had walked out into the field a pointed his finger at Goliath. Even though his hand did have 5 fingers on it. 1Sa 17:37 David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee. 45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. 46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands. It was David's Faith in God that gave him the victory. I do not see within the story where the number 5 played any part in it. "There were five loaves and fishes in which God gave to feed the multitude." God would have answered Jesus prayer, regardless of how many fish, and loves there were. Mat 14:17-19 17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 18 He said, Bring them hither to me. 19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. It was Jesus' Faith in God that provided enough food to feed a multitude of people. I do not see within the story where the number 5 played any part in it. In the tabernacle, there were five curtains, bars, and pillars. There are just to many numbers within this story, to be able to say the number 5 has a special significance placed on it. Exo 26:3 The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and other five curtains shall be coupled one to another. I do not see within the story where the number 5 played any part in it If Israel would have obeyed God, five of them would chase a thousand." Lev 26:8 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. All I see in this example is a total misquote. Personally I don't think (wiki answers.com) is a very reliable resource as far as this question is concerned. I do not see within the story where the number 5 played any part in it Including this post, there are "now" a total of 12, which is the Number of Authority, meaning we should put this thread to bed.

10 | Why is this verse here? | Luke 6:40 | YenIsaRap | 218531 | ||
Dear nthnobdvs These are the other places where your verses in question are located, maybe with both you can come to an understanding. You could also look at the point that they don't relate together, because they don't relate together. If you turn to the chapters you will see there are two different stories being told by two different authors. They are both relating the truth as far as what Christ said, but not in the events that we see related in the bible. If they were both relating the same story as it had really happened, wouldn't they be the same? What I am saying is that all of the words spoken by Jesus are true, they just don't fit together as one teaching by Jesus. Does that make any sense to you? In essence they are separate teachings? BLIND LEADING THE BLIND Mat 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Luk 6:39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? GOOD FRUIT-- BAD FRUIT Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. Luk 6:43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Blessings YenIsaRap |

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Deu 4:21 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance: 1Ch 21:7 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.

Dear Humility Your use of Rom. 8:14 as being led of the Spirit to minister is not correct. That passage is speaking about you personally, your walk with the Lord, and not walking in the flesh. I cannot think of a verse that says the Holy Spirit will lead you to minister at a certain time, place. Walk in his Love YenIsaRap |

14 | Women are to be silent? | NT general | YenIsaRap | 218356 | ||
Dear Justme As far as I can see, the scriptures that I posted were not of a cultural nature. Women were not allowed to minister in the Temple, why? God set up the pattern for His service, not the culture. He could have included women at that time if He wanted it to be that way. After all it was in His service, and it still is today. When scripture says that a woman shall not to usurp authority over the man, I take it to mean a Woman was never given Authority the way Man was. As far as denominations not washing feet anymore. Was that ever taught by Jesus as something that should be done? Whereas Paul spoke directly to the question of women's position in the church. Women in ministry in the 19 century, was something that did take place as you say, but we do not know the circumstances surrounding those instances. When you say "When a men does not or won't step up to the Biblical leadership of the church, then should women just say they are helpless and let the evangelism of souls to Christ go undone?" By making that statement you have taken God completely out of the equation. Souls will be won for Christ in His timing, not because woman stepped in, when a man was negligent. God will deal with the man. Joh 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. Joh 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. But a woman saying if I don't do it, it will not get done, is nothing more than PRIDE. In the 21st.. century, there is a difference, when a woman goes to seminary to obtain a licence to Preach. That then becomes an issue of culturally equal rights for women. Do we, or should we let culture (society) dictate to the Church in such matters? Aren't those rights protected by the Constitution, as far as the freedom of religion? Here are some other scriptures which add to my argument, I have posted both to keep a continuity of thought. (context) 1Ti 2:11,12 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 1Ti 2:13,14 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 1Co 11:7-10 7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. 9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. What was the reason woman was created? Gen 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. We can see right from the beginning, woman was not created equal. Women singing solos, or taking care of the nursery, does not usurp authority, they are beyond the context of Paul's statement. In love, respect and peace, YenIsaRap |

15 | Supportive scripture for woman preachers | NT general | YenIsaRap | 218303 | ||
Dear Messiah'schild In regard to your questions. " Supportive scripture for woman preachers, Scripture reference for women to preach." There are no scriptures in support of this phenomenon in the churches of today. But Paul had something to say about women in positions of authority that one could apply to the question of whether or not a woman should be allowed into the position of a preacher. 1Ti 2:11,12 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. Then the question arises as to why not? 1Ti 2:13,14 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. IMHO that answers it God Bless YenIsaRap |

16 | Animals in heaven? | 2 Tim 2:15 | YenIsaRap | 218301 | ||
Dear Flinkywood Seems to me in order to be answering your own question. If you would consider some things that separate animals form humans. Do animals have souls? Can an animal attain salvation? How does an animal come to the point of eternal life? When does an animal acquire the Holy Spirit? At what point should an animal be baptized? Then the question of should only our pets be aloud? Why not Hippo's, Elephants, Dinosaurs? If you want to keep it biblical you have to admit the Dragons, Leviathans, and don't forget the Unicorns! In using the book of Revelation as a source for admittance of animals consider the fact that the Revelation is written in the form of Allegory, Symbolism, Metaphor. So a horse is not a horse of course of course. As Doc said about the problem of cleaning up after the horses we would also see signs that read "Cloud your Dog" In closing let me just say that we will be very busy when we go to Heaven. In the words of the old spiritual. When we've been there 10,000 yrs. Bright shining as the sun (SON) We've no less days To sing Gods' Praise Than when we first begun!!! I think our focus will be on more important matters rather than did "Ole Spot" make it. Sorry but there isn't any scriptural evidence no matter how we want it to be for animals to be in heaven.

19 | why kill everyone if you a God of love? | Bible general Archive 4 | YenIsaRap | 218172 | ||
Dear newyorker626 This is the short answer to your question. I thought you might like to hear from Gods' own mouth why He said these things to them. Once there you can read the whole story. 1 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Deu 7:1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; 2 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: 3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. 4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. 5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire. 6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. 7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: 8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; 10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face. 11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them. 12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: 13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. 15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee. 16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.

20 | Who is speaking in Luke 19:27? | Luke 19:27 | YenIsaRap | 217957 | ||
Dear JK123 There is a lot taking place in these verses. To keep everything in it's context v.12 starts off with a nobleman going to receive a kingdom. I take this v.12 to be JESUS v.13 this nobleman calls his servants then gives them money to do business with while he is gone. I take this v.13 to be JESUS DISCIPLES v.14 speaks of the citizens not wanting the nobleman to rule over them because they hated him. I take this v.14 to be the nation of the JEWS. Rejecting their Messiah. v.15 - v.19 the nobleman returns taking account of his servants giving them reward. I take these vs.15-19 to be JESUS and HIS DESCIPLES v.20 - v.23 is the narrative about the fearful servant I take v.24 to be possibly what we might call a (TARE) not a TRUE DESCIPLE. v.24 the culmination of his punishment telling the other servants to take his money giveing it to another. v.25 the servants declare the other already has money. In comparing other translations I found the KJV has v.25 in brackets. if you drop v.25 out then v.24 and v.26 fit together better. The narrative started in v.20 then flows into v.26 with the understanding that the nobleman is still talking to his servants. I take v.26 to be JESUS still talking to HIS DISCIPLES v.27 then we come to the citizens that didn't want him as ruler. I take v.27 to be the Jews that did not want him to be King over them. (Rejected Him as Messiah). This whole parable is a first person narrative. Jesus was talking to the Jews as well as the disciples. But the Jews didn't understand HIM. Hope it helps YenIsaRap |
