1 | What does a godfather do? | Bible general Archive 1 | romans | 71336 | ||
Good day! In a very simple statement, godfather or godparents stand as a second parents of the child. In time the child would need a guardian or parent(s) you should act as one. The biblical examples or verses I know that would support this practice. I hope this helps. In Christ, Romans |

2 | Elijah and John the Bapt. Mat. 17:11-13 | Matt 17:12 | romans | 71279 | ||
Happy New Year, Kim! Sorry I wasn't able to answer you back last Tuesday (31 Dec). I was busy with some other things. Anyway, I saw some postings from our brothers and just what they wrote John has the anointing like of Elijah; that is the fulfillment of Mal. 4:5-6 (I mentioned this verse in my first letter). I hope it answers your question. One thing to add though, Christians do not believe in re-incarnation we only believe in resurrection. A dead man can not be born again (born in flesh again) on earth having another life or body. We only have one life. Heb.9:27 "Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment" After we die, we will be judged at once "to hell or to heaven." Then, those souls will wait for the final judgement as describe in Revelation (Rev. 20:12-15). In Christ, Romans |

4 | Matt. 17:11-13 Elijah to John the Bapt.? | Matt 17:12 | romans | 71142 | ||
Hi Kim, Malachi 4:5-6 "See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers" God promised to send Elijah that is why the Pharisses/Jews are waiting for his return. 2Kings 1:8 'They replied, "He was a man with a garment of hair and with a leather belt around his waist." The king said, "That was Elijah the Tishbite"' That is how they described Elijah. Now take a look at the following text Mat. 3:4 "John's clothes were made of camel's hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist." Can you see the similarities of Elijah and John the Baptist? Luke 1:17 "And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, TO TURN THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS TO THEIR CHILDREN and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous–to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." (capital letters added by me) Malachi 4:5-6 "See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. He will TURN THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS TO THEIR CHILDREN, and the hearts of the children to their fathers" (capital letters added by me) Therefore, the promised return of Elijah by God in Malachi had been fulfilled in the person of John the Baptist. But the Pharisees did not recognise him. I pray this would be a help. In Christ, Romans |

5 | AM I MARRIED IN GODS EYES ? | 1 Cor 7:20 | romans | 70683 | ||
Jonzsaved, Bro, from what you wrote I would say that you are legally married in God's eyes. Now that your wife#2 is pregnant to another man and you have your own family, then it is not proper for you to leave your present family (wife and children; leave them miserable) to be with ex-wife who is already living with another man (I assume). 1Cor 7: 15 "... God has called us to live in peace ..." 1Cor 7:20 "Each one should remain in the situation which he was in when God called him." By the time you became born-again, you are already separated from her. Now that you are a Christian, you should remain in your status as married to your present wife. But we should not excuse ourselves from any mistakes that we committed before we became Christian. Now that we are Christians, the more we should take reponsibility of our mistakes. So settle whatever things needed to be settled with God's leading and direction. God is a God of many chances. He is not legalist. He is a God who lives in reality not in fantasy. There are things that God will not approve but will certainly understand. One thing though, we should be aware of the corresponding effects of our action. I am a strong believer of "NO DIVORCE" but I also need to consider the reality that is happening. Like what I said "I believe God is a realistic God." Read the 1Cor. 7:1-24, then talk to God. Meditate on this verse Exodus 34:6-7 I pray this will be a help to you. GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH, HE WANTS US TO HAVE AN ABUNDANT LIFE. In Christ, Romans |
