1 | I need help understanding the last part. | Luke 12:33 | calmrage | 169613 | ||
That probably means the treasure above can't compare to the treasure on earth. They will not be expired or inflated, rottened. They last forever. No thiefs can steal them and no moths or insects will eat them. (In the old days, treasures can be food, animals, clothes or your procession) | ||||||
2 | 2 Timothy 2:15 | Bible general Archive 3 | calmrage | 169610 | ||
LionHeart.. Again, let me speak of a parable.. so you will understand my question... For example, there is auto accident. A truck full of apples spilled out lots of apples. In my mind, I was thinking about the apples, and I ask if apples are really good for the bodies. And you gave me some verses about Adam and Eve and how people are sinned or not careful in things they do...... and so on.... A plain questions need not to have complicated answer. Perhaps you like to make a big statement about certain things. But again, that is what happened in some Bible Study or Sermon. When we are concentrating one simple things. There is no need to go around about ...... Otherwise, people get more confused.... I hope you understand.. I know you were trying to make a point. However, I think it may only make people hard to understand what you are trying to say even though you use a lot of verses as reference. However, they are not what people want to know. You remind me of some pastors. In order to show how well they know about the Bible. Regardless of what the questions, they will make a big circle of long statements and at the end I was thinking.. For that question, it coule be answer in 1 minute which they can spend 15 minutes trying to make a point. Was that my question??? Or was I not directly enough??? This could be their personalities. Perhaps, you thought I am not a believer and try to convince me the importance rather than the difference. However, this is important for some. A Christian look alike (Mormon or Johovah witness) knocked on the door and say "Knock and ye should find "and spread the so called gospel, we believe? They say thngs so close to the truth... we believe??? Again, simple question needs simple answer.... Thanks for your response anyway....... |

3 | Are women speaking directed by God? | 1 Cor 14:34 | calmrage | 158902 | ||
I heard many doctrines about women speaking in front of men. According to the Bible, women should not; however, in the modern days, It seems like this is already exempt, the excuse is that some churches have qualified women to do the job. So, Are they against the words of God? I don't know. Due to changes of ages, we don't do lots of thing even new testament says. I mean, yes, it may be good to keep it traditional, but then how often and well we can keep it that way. examples "women covering their heads" "fasting" |

4 | 1. Is God sovereign? 2.) Free Will? | Bible general Archive 2 | calmrage | 147385 | ||
My understanding is that everything is created under the power of God. God has his ways of thinking. Why did he create Satan? why did he make himself suffer as Jesus? Why did he create this and that and destroy this and that? That's beyond human understanding. I have heard that the simple answer is that God wants his creation to glorify him. However, the depth of what his intention is not so easily to be understood. In other words, if we understand why and how everything God does, we will be called god. answer to q1: Simple answer, God wants to use Satan as a testing program to Job. Why? only God knows. Just like people ask why so many innocent people died in tsunami in Indonesia. It's beyond our understanding.. Is it act of God or act of Nature of act of Satan??? As a matter of fact, if you look at the whole picture, everything is act of God, but if you look at the smaller picture, maybe God let Satan do his thing again... A2. Here is example. A programmer creates a program that produce random number. He is a creator. He knows inside out of what's going on in the program. The number will keep coming out according to his calculation. He can stop the program anytime. But he chooses to let it run until he decides to stop it. We human are like the player in the program. We can choose certain random numbers, but we choose the - negative numbers, the Programmer or Creator will somehow design to unplug the game and make it "game over". Of course, our lives are in controlled by God no matter how. God created us and wants us to glorify his creation. Why? because is God. Again, if we think about the in-depth question of why. It's really hard to understand why God did all those.... However, the focus is not to understand the intention before God, but to focus our lives like we are the players, we are focusing the game, but not how the programmer makes the game. It's really beyond our understanding. |

5 | Believe in the Bible only right? | 2 Pet 2:1 | calmrage | 141949 | ||
Maybe this link will help you... http://shawnsettle.tripod.com/mormons/id1.html Anyway, I quite agree with you about additional book should not be added to the Bible. However, I still wonder why Christians (Protestant that is) are still accepting Catholic belief. Not just that they call Mary "Holy Mother" and worship her in a way. And I believe they also hold some sort of additional book as well. Additional book for praying purpose. I mean, to me only Protestant Christian is the true religion if you go by the book of the Bible. Other than that, I would consider them cult, or "close but not quite Christian" Mormon believers believe in one husband many wives system. That is definiately a false religion... |

6 | Why did David use five stones? | Genesis | calmrage | 129386 | ||
So he could have 4 more chance if he missed.... :) No, just kidding... I was told 2 answers. 1. 5 means judgement. 2. There is no significant meaning in numbers many times in the Bible. We should not care too much about the numbers. In this case, maybe David's hand could only grab 5 stones and he killed the giant. If he missed, he would have grabbed 5 more... |

7 | Recognition after death? Biblical Ref? | Romans | calmrage | 116492 | ||
We will be different in the heavn. The relationship will be only as in brothers and sisters. In other way, your children will also be your brothers/sisters in heavn. There is no need to get puzzled about how God is going to prepare you to see you love ones. By then, everyone will be happy in heavn. Come to think of it, there are millions of millions of saved souls. If we use our worldy mind to imagine what heavns will be, we would then ask another question, ... how do we find them?.... Answer is, we don't have to .. by then, we will all know... God Bless. Romans 12:4, 5 |
