1 | why were there only 12 deciples | Genesis | daflodeo | 242343 | ||
You must understand Biblical numerics 12 represents divine authority and appointment. The 12 apostles were sent with Jesus authority to preach the gospel. | ||||||
2 | Is Tamar a seductress or a survivor? Why | Genesis | daflodeo | 242339 | ||
I'd say that Tamar was both. She knew that Judah had a weakness for prostitutes and disguised herself to seduce Judah into a sexual liaison resulting in giving him twins. She is also in Christ genealogy in Matt.1:3 which makes her a survivor. | ||||||
3 | do animals go to heaven? | Genesis | daflodeo | 242338 | ||
Rev. 19:11, 14 tells us that Jesus will come back on a white horse with an army also on white horses. So don't let anyone tell you that animals are not in heaven. | ||||||
4 | who in the bible had no earthly parents | Genesis | daflodeo | 242337 | ||
Hebrews 7:3 Identifies Melchizedek as being without father or mother. | ||||||
5 | What does Galatians 5 Verse 2 Mean? | Gal 5:2 | daflodeo | 242336 | ||
What Paul is saying here that depending on the Law of Moses for salvation makes Christ work on the cross meaningless. Always read the verses before and a few after the verse in question because verse 4-6 explains that verse you questioned. | ||||||
6 | why was Jacob holding on to his brother | Gen 38:28 | daflodeo | 242334 | ||
Genesis 38:28 speaks of the birth of Pharez and Zarah who were sons of Judah and Tamar. But if you go to Genesis 25:22-23 you will see that the strife between Rebekah's two sons Jacob and Esau began before their birth and continued not only throughout their lives but between their descendants as well. | ||||||
7 | Does God have an Elect set of people? | Rom 8:29 | daflodeo | 242333 | ||
The answer is yes for Ephesians 1:4 says that God picked His believers before the foundation of the world. That tells me two things: 1)there are some people that God doesn't want because He knew before hand that they would not accept His truth and 2)God had a plan of salvation before Adam was created. God does have an "elect" which means as the Word says, "many are called but few are chosen." | ||||||
8 | Should pastors/preachers be evaluated | 1 Cor 4:4 | daflodeo | 242332 | ||
Any Christian who has the spirit of truth can tell when another Christian has the same genuine spirit. I was a member of a small church when I first started satisfying my hunger and thirst for God's Word. One day the pastor of that church told me that he was not yet ready to die and when he said this God told me in my heart that I'd learned all I could there and to move on. Even as a novice Christian learning the Word I knew that a true believer in Christ is always ready for and unafraid of death and I was there already. Then I was at a church where the pastor said that God didn't mean for us to be poor cause Jesus was not poor He was rich for He had a seamless garment which was a very expensive article of clothing in those days.I had enough Bible knowledge to know that His cousins Martha, Mary and Lazarus had parents who died and left them well off and that they provide all of Jesus needs and besides that the Word says that birds have nest and foxes have holes but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head. At this church they passed the basket three times during service. The pastor was serving himself first and God second,I sensed this and left that church as well. Then there was big time Pastor Fred K. Price who said that if a person wants to come to Jesus and he has a drinking or drug problem and smokes he must first stop these bad habits before he comes to Christ. But I read where Jesus said come as you are and the fact that Jesus ministry was with prostitutes and destitute people let me see through Pastor Price. Then in one of his sermons he claim that he had no fear of Satan for he had Satan under the soles of his feet. Now that seemed contrary to Scriptural teaching for if Michael that archangel who is God's top angel had to go wrestle with Satan who was trying to prevent another angel from delivering a message from God to the prophet Daniel and it took a few days before this could occur with Michael telling Satan "God rebuke thee" not saying that he rebuked Satan let me know that Michael respected Satan and if this mighty angel of the Lord had to struggle so hard against this evil power and tell Satan that it let me know that Pastor Fred over stepped his authority. Something would not let me embrace this church that has prospered so and is considered to be outstanding along with the teachings of Fred Price to guide it but I just could not make that commitment to fellowship there. Then one day a good Christian friend gave me a taped recording of Creflo Dollar who has always stunk to high heaven to me where this so called Christian minister of Christ said that Jesus was not God!!! I could not believe it but it was an undeniable fact that this man spoke those words and I still have that tape. Then I learned that Creflo Dollar is a protege of Fred Price and Kenneth Hagen! Now how could these two preachers who preach the deity of Jesus Christ accept Creflo Dollar as a Christian preacher of God's Word? Many of Price's congregation left his church because of his and Hagen's prosperity gospel teachings. Now I know why I could not embrace this church and its because it became a corporate entity. In the OT God used a donkey to talk for Him once so I guess He does the same with some preachers. It is the Spirit of truth in us that sustains us when we need to be fed by the Word of God and its that spirit that lets me know when I'm being fed. Some say take the meat and throw the bone away for even a preacher thats a con artist can speak words of truth that someone can use as encouragement and be bought to Christ. All Christian denominations agree on basic Christian doctrine but are not in one accord because each denomination has their own pet doctrines that others can't agree with and it is these pet doctrines that have made Christianity a religion where men have established their own righteousness. Baptist believe that one must be baptized to enter the kingdom of God but then what of the thief that died on the cross that day with Christ? Jesus assured him that he'd be in paradise that day and he was not baptized. Adventist believe in keeping the Sabbath but most Christians believe as the gospel says that they can worship on any day that they wish to. The Holiness church don't believe in the Holy Spirit. In 1 Cor. 4:1-5 Paul is speaking of stewardship. A steward is one who manages a house and is accountable to its owner. Christians are called stewards in that they have been entrusted with the "mysteries of God" which is the gospel message and this is a responsibility for which believers are held accountable. |
