2 | scripture to say do all in the Lord | 1 Cor 10:31 | nicko715 | 198893 | ||
Hello LoveMyLord, This is probably the verse you are looking for: 1Co 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Nick |

3 | Is procreation a command or a blessing | Gen 9:1 | nicko715 | 198880 | ||
Shalom Azure, I am not sure if I am reading you correctly, but God is speaking to Adam and Eve in Gen 1:28. And I believe that to them it was a command. I do not think that is required of the rest of us, since Paul says that it is better for a man NOT to marry (1 Cor 7:1,8). So I would go with it being a blessing now. As far as is it ok to divorce over impotence? I would say no, it is not ok. However, that is much easier for me to say than it would be for me to live out if I were in that situation. Nick |

4 | homosexuality | Lev 20:13 | nicko715 | 198874 | ||
Hello Deputy, There are plenty of verses that deal with this topic. However, I don't think trying to convince him that homosexuality is wrong is the best way to point him to Jesus. Even if he wasn't a homosexual he would still be in need of the Lord. I expect that trying to prove that homosexuality is wrong will probably further isolate him. The Lord will take care of forgiving him of his sins and then helping him conquer them. Just focus on teaching him about our Savior regardless of his particular sin. Anyway, that is how I view the situation. Others may disagree. May god be with you and your friend. Nick |

5 | Why do you think God sends delusions? | Mark 4:12 | nicko715 | 198853 | ||
Hello John, Tough question, but I think Doc summed it up pretty well. God is in control of what happens. Notice in verse 13 that God chose them from the beginning and in verse 14 that He called them to obtain the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. Also, notice the same instance as Mark 4:12 and Matt 13:10-17 is retold in each Gospel: Luke 8:9-10 John 12:37-41 This is sometimes difficult for us to understand in comparison with a most Loving Father. However, He most certainly is both Sovereign and Loving. Nick |

6 | 'Dying you shall surely die'? | Gen 2:17 | nicko715 | 198811 | ||
Hello Royfish, CDBJ has an interesting idea. I had never heard it put that way before. The way I have understood it is that the day he ate the fruit he actually began the dying process. Up until that point, Adam's body must not have worn down at all, but then his body began to decay and deteriorate which ultimately lead to his death. The same is true of us. Each day more and more of our body and mind dies. Our joints and organs wear out, our minds begin to become less sharp, etc. We basically spend our lives dying until we ultimately die. It is just my interpretation, but I hope it helps. Nick |

7 | Seeking God | Bible general Archive 4 | nicko715 | 198723 | ||
LJ, You don't have to prove anything to God, He knows you better than you know yourself. A young man once asked Jesus what the most important commandment was. He responded with: Mat 22:37-40 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Basically, everything else is dependent upon loving God and one of the ways we show this is by loving others (Matt 25:35-40). None of the rituals (devotions, prayer, baptism, tithing, etc) are as important as loving God and loving others (Hos 6.6, Matt 9.13). The problem is, we usually just love others who are like us. We love our friends and not our enemies. However, this is no better than anyone else. To be like the Father, we must love our enemies too. Mat 5:43-48 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. If you want the life change and want to please God, treat everyone with love. Especially those that hate you, because anyone can love their friends. Nick |
