1 | Why does he say "to the Jew first"? | Rom 1:16 | beva | 86622 | ||
Romans 11:11 "So I ask, Have they stumbled so as to fall [to their utter spiritual ruin, irretrievably]? By no means! But through their false step and transgression salvation [has come] to the Gentiles, so as to arouse Israel [to see and feel what they forfeited] and so to make them jealous." Salvation came to us (Gentiles) through the Jews. We now have a responsibility to bring salvation to the Jews. If that salvation comes through jealousy, so be it. God wants us to bring salvation to the Jews. It's part of His plan and Paul was the example. He always went to the Jews (the synagogues) first. |

2 | Am I once and forever saved? | John 3:16 | beva | 85305 | ||
jbw, this question can cause heated debate on this forum and some of the comments that will be made can be quite upsetting to new Christians. It always grieves me to see brothers arguing over Scripture and I fear that the answers you will get to your question may only confuse you more. May I suggest that you do a search on the question (just type in eternal salvation under quick search) and read some of the previous posts on the subject. But also please remember that we all have the benefit of guidance by the Holy Spirit and your question will be better answered through prayer and Bible study. I have my own belief on this topic, but I will reserve comment to avoid causing debate. In Christ, your brother, --beva | ||||||

Hank--HILARIOUS! What a refreshing change from some of the troubling (non-essential to salvation) dissention that takes place on this forum. Thank you for this post! | ||||||
4 | measure day\night no sun or stars | Gen 1:3 | beva | 72317 | ||
Ok, I'll callyouthewolfe:) Some say the sun was created on day One when God said, "Let there be light" (Genesis 1:3), but for some reason it was "obscured" or blocked from the earth until day four when whatever was obscuring the sun was removed. Others say that the "days" of Genesis one are not chronological. However, because the days were given in a specific order, it does appear the days should be taken chronologically. A better hypothesis is that the "light" created on day one was some light source other than the sun. It would have been the earth rotating in regards to this light source that caused day and night. God then created the earth's sun and moon on day four and removed the previous light source. What that light source was, and why God used it instead of just creating the sun on day one, I don’t know. Many different theories have been proposed as to the nature of the original light source and its purpose. You might want to take a look at some Christian based Creation and Evolution websites. That might help “shed some light” on the question:) --beva |

5 | what is meant by ""for the dead" | Lev 19:28 | beva | 71821 | ||
At funerals, the Egyptians and Assyrians cut their hair and the Hebrews had adopted this practice. They also cut their bodies. Marks were often made with a hot iron, representing false gods, as if to declare that they would serve them forever. This was done in mourning for the dead. What Moses was forbidding here was acts being done in honor of some idol. | ||||||
6 | Haggai 2:10-19, Why is the day important | Hag 2:18 | beva | 71819 | ||
God had withheld His blessing because of disobedience, now that the people were being obedient God would now bless them. God wanted the day to be clear in the minds and memory of the people so they would always remember the difference between receiving His blessing and having it witheld from them. | ||||||
