1 | Which disciples were married | Mark 1:30 | glory777 | 111862 | ||
Searcher- I think I read somewhere that in order to be a member of the ruling group of Jews at the time, one had to be married. Paul would have had to have been. I don't remember where I got this information. Perhaps you have more input? glory777 |

2 | Eating meat with blood in it: Gen. 9:4 | Gen 9:4 | glory777 | 111860 | ||
Thanks, EdB- After that discourse, I know much more than I ever wanted to know! I think I am going to have my salad, now - and from now on! glory777 |

3 | Why children as well? | Bible general Archive 2 | glory777 | 104704 | ||
Ed- I agree about the children. However, until they have attained the age of spiritual accountability (I don't know when that is but God knows) I believe the child is saved by the Blood of the Lamb who was slain from the foundation of the world. Hence David's claim, even in his grief over the loss of his first son with Bathsheba, that he would see him again in Heaven. As far as the women go, I hate to admit it, but it seems everytime you look at women who were not proper Hebrew women, they all had idols that they brought into the homes of Hebrew men and caused them to commit idolatry. God always knows what He is doing. It may seem cruel to us now, but He knows what would ultimatly happen if He wouldn't act. Am I right or wrong here? Debbie |

4 | More about the 3rd commandment please? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 85545 | ||
Good answer, inmyheart! Others verses that do not tell specifically not to use the lord's name in vain are Romans 13:14 and 1Cor. 6:17. If we put on Christ, we will talk as He talked - or do our best. and if our bodies of temples of the Holy Spirit, what comes out of our mouths should not be demeaning to the name of the Lord. I had a problem with this at one time, commonly heard sayings, like "Oh my God", that was not meant as a prayer and pieces and changes in the Lords name, like "Geez" and "Gosh". It did take time in the Word, repentence - lots -, help from the Holy Spirit and time. Old habits can be hard to break. Peace- Debbie |

5 | This is from the feeding of the multitud | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 82729 | ||
Fran- Sorry, my mind mind jumped ahead of my eyes - I hadn't really thought about it being for the tribes, but I had thought about it being proof to the 12 disciples. Now maybe my former note will make sense. Debbie |

Hi Fran- I don't believe the bible tells us the significance of there being 12 baskets left, but it has crossed my mind, too. When God chooses to bless, He can bless abundantly! Obvious proof to each of the disciples, and yet even with all that, one would choose not to follow. Peace in Christ- Debbie |

7 | did judas eat at the last supper? | John | glory777 | 76438 | ||
On a personal level, yes I can, if there was any chance that Saddam would receive the gospel. Would I, knowing that, given the chance, he would kill me and my family because we believe in Christ? I think I would tie his feet, wash his feet, preach the Word and then.....I know I sure wouldn't let him escape to torture and kill millions more if given the opportunity. My opinion only.....

8 | Who is the "they" in this passage? | Dan 2:43 | glory777 | 73907 | ||
ianjon- please do not repeat your words and run them together. It makes for very difficult reading and understanding. I think all of us on the forum would appreciate it. Thanks, Debbie |

9 | who are the 144,000 | Rev 7:3 | glory777 | 72516 | ||
Another explaination I have heard is that the 144,000 are actually Jews (12000 from each tribe of the 12 tribes of Israel). We have to be careful and realize that some things are symbolic but not all things have to be and that some things that we take as literal do not have to be. A lot in Revelation we will just have to wait and see which interpretation is correct!:) Debbie |

10 | Finding 'Act as though you have faith' | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 72399 | ||
Steve- As I have gone through and read this mess of a thread, i am reminded of Pharoah. No matter what proof he had laid on him, he refused to believe and his heart was hardened. I believe we are seeing a lot of this right here in the forum. In the last days people will turn away from the truth, scripture will be made out to be what they want it to be and, as we all can see, aften 1 is an example of this. I will not post further to someone who is not a true Christian and whose only desire is to lead others away from Jesus Christ - our Lord and God.The purpose of this forum is to help Christians understand scripture, not to twist it. Adding fuel to the fire is not helping. Aften 1 refuses to say what denomination, if any, he is affiliated with. If this is one of the teachings of it, it is not bible oriented and as such, he should not be here. Debbie |

11 | how were the sisters | Luke 10:42 | glory777 | 72124 | ||
prayon - Excuse me if I digress a little. But I find so much that is applicable to our lives here and now. Yes, Jesus should come above everything and have first priority. But I also think of the people who are important in our lives. When we have company, are we so busy preparing and cooking that we don't have the time and energy to really involve ourselves with them? Or how about our children? I am afraid when mine were little, I had to have a clean house and I find that now, with my grandson I have my priorities more in the right places. I would rather have time with him - even though I have "designer furniture" (fingerprints in the dust!) rather than an immaculate house. Too many of us are caught up in the "Martha syndrome" and don't realize it until it is too late. I wonder if Martha ever did sit down next to her sister and decided that, just for once, sandwiches were good enough? Debbie |

12 | Divine Healing? | Matthew | glory777 | 72111 | ||
You are right, God is not the source for sickness, disease, etc., but He does allow it. 2 Cor. 1:4-8 was talking about the afflictions Paul was suffering and he wrote saying that as they were comforted by God, so they could comfort others. Also, there was an instance where Jesus "undid" the Father's work. Actually, it was a working together in the overall plan. When Jesus healed the man who was blind from birth. Was it a lack of faith, I might add, along with sin as the disciples asked, that caused the man to be born blind? Jesus healed the man of his blindness for a reason. If our faith is what keeps us healthy in every case, why wasn't Paul healed and Timothy? You can give a lot of verses for "faith" healing, and I agree with them, but why do you continue to throw out the ones that don't agree with your way of thinking, that even the greatest men of faith had sickness that even faith and prayer would not relieve? Only the grace of God gave them strength to bear it. Is that not also an example for us? We need to read the whole word of God and use it all. Debbie |

13 | Divine Healing? | Matthew | glory777 | 72078 | ||
Jesified- There is a little book written by Joni Earikson Tada, I'm not sure of the title - "A Step Farther" perhaps. But she went through the healing ministries and anything that offered any hope to the removal of her paralysis. As you know she is still in a wheelchair. She still believes that God does heal, but had a bigger plan for her life than just physical wellness. She has touched many more people for Him in her chair than she would have on two good legs. I am not saying that God doesn't want us all healthy. He wants us all saved, too. He doesn't want this world as it is now. He does have the power to do whatever He wants, as long as it is in the parameters He has set. If God expected every believer to be healthy, wealthy and wise, why did Jesus give us the beatitudes? One reason we are allowed to suffer is given in 2 Cor. chapter 1. Sometimes we are not allowed in this life to know why. But if we who believe would live without trouble and sickness, how close would we stay to the Lord? We are also able to draw closer to Him through trials of ALL kinds. Jesus said we would face persecution for His sake. That meant and still means in other areas of the world, property being seized, assests held, and physical violence and death. Are you saying that the people who live in those countries don't have enough faith? I think there is a very real problem with a lot of the TV preacher's theology. I am pentecostal, I do believe that healing is done on a miraculous scale if the Lord wills it. I believe we are to ask, believing. But if the Lord wills for me to go through the fire so I can bring others to Him or to be a comfort to others, so be it. His will is perfect. Debbie |

14 | HOW COULD JESUS BE A DESCENDANT OF DAVID | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 71994 | ||
Ok, Steve- Now that you have me thoroughly confused, when did Ahaz see that first "virgin birth"? I think I read there was some worship at that time of a "god" that was supposed to have been virgin born. Is that what you are referring to, or am I even more confused than I thought? Debbie |

TWO virgin births? Scripture verse, please! Jesus does say He is God. John 8:58. Scripture does not say "I was" But Jesus called Himself by the name God identified Himself with when speaking to Moses. debbie |

17 | Why is marijuana use prohibited? | Heb 13:17 | glory777 | 68156 | ||
Blessings, Tim - I'll be praying for your daughter and you and your wife. Don't ever let anyone buy into the argument that pot doesn't lead to other drugs, either. I know. If you are around people that use pot, you eventually will come into contact with the other stuff. It isn't hurting them (yeah, right) so it is OK for me. Etc. Etc. Just keeps getting deeper and deeper. My heart goes out to you, and to anyone that has to deal with the problem. Debbie |

18 | Why is marijuana use prohibited? | Heb 13:17 | glory777 | 68130 | ||
jini- Some major problems with your thinking on this subject. In scripture it tells us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor.6:19) also that we should have self-control(2 Tim3:3) and slef control is one of the fruits of the Spirit. Genesis 2:9 says God gave the plants for men to use as food - not to get a buzz. Being with God could not be topped, nor could it be inhanced. It was when Satan got into the picture that things that were meant for our good got messed around. And it was when man gave into him that people turned from looking to the natural (or I should say Supernatural) high, which is having fellowship with God, to what they could misuse what the Lord put on this earth. I've been there. When people tell me how beneficial it is, I also know what a load of garbage they are trying to delude people with, along with deluding themselves. Debbie |

19 | Why does Jesus have 2 genealogies? | Rom 1:18 | glory777 | 67812 | ||
ateo- In being in this forum, you should read the "about the forum" in the resource section to the left of the page. This is a discussion based on biblical ideas backed by proof verified by language translation, context usage and understanding culture of the time. I could think all kinds of things, but if they can't be verified, it is up to those who have a greater understanding of the bible than I do to correct me - and Praise God they are not afraid to! We have had too many people on this forum who do not want to truly understand the bible, who's minds are so set and who want to just cause divisivness and weaken the Christian's walk. In short, doing the devil's work. This is not a matter of free speech, but of what is appropriate to the nature of the forum. Debbie |

20 | Submit . . . unless it hurts? | Eph 5:33 | glory777 | 66618 | ||
I differ with you in your opinion that the bible shows hatred for women. Rather, God shows no favoritism. Those who believe are "sons of God", men or women. Jesus used a woman to further the kingdom (the Samaritan woman at the well); when the adulteress was brought before Him, when the others would stone her (where was the man who was caught?)His answer freed her and condemned the others. It is man who added the laws to control women and the culture at that time, and even in this time in some countries who are considered second best. Look in the new testament at all the women that are commended. Each role that God ordained is important, it is the human nature that wants to put some in a lesser position than another. When a man becomes God and can see into the future as to what the result of his abuse will be, then he has a right to abuse his wife "for her own good". Jesus never hurt anyone. The man is to submit to God, he is never told to abuse his wife but to love her. Debbie |
