2 | Keep the Sabbath Holy? | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 190939 | ||
I think it's safe to say that none of the Ten Commandments pertains only to the Israelites of Moses' day. Grace to you, Kalos |

How many people in the Bible named Zechariah? Thirty (30), according to Nelson's New Illustrated Bible Dictionary. Grace to you, Kalos |

4 | Should Christian men wear a beard? | 1 Chr 19:5 | kalos | 190853 | ||
Does the New Testament really say, By your beards shall all men know that you are my disciples? Or how about this one, "By their beards ye shall know them." :-) (It's a joke.) Grace to you, Kalos |

5 | STUMP THE PASTOR | Prov 5:4 | kalos | 190852 | ||
Pbp, As far as I know, David is still buried in David's tomb. Acts 2:29 ESV “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. "How many people in the Bible named Zechariah?" I'll have to look that one up and get back to you. I read it somewhere just the other day, but don't remember the number. If I'm not mistaken, the answer is more than ten. Here's another trivia (for want of a better word) question, one I recently thought of: Question: Is there anything remaining that must happen before we are raptured? Answer. Yes. The dead in Christ will rise first. "...the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up..." See 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 Grace to you, Kalos |

6 | Should Christian men wear a beard? | 1 Chr 19:5 | kalos | 190851 | ||
Outward appearance vs. the heart NASB 1 Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." You write: "Just a question, who would you rather represent in appearance The Son of man, or those who crucified Him?" When you say those who crucified the son of man, do you mean the bearded Jewish religious leaders who conspired together to have him crucified? Are you saying that God has a beard? I really doubt that Joseph had a beard when he served first in the house of Potiphar and later in the service of Phraoah. With all respect, I cannot agree with your reasons for God's alleged preference for beards. Nevertheless, I thank you for your reply. Grace to you, Kalos |

8 | does God intend for us to pay tithes | Malachi | kalos | 190773 | ||
God had the authority to "add or even change in one era what He had given in another...What God revealed as binding in one period may be rescinded in another," not by man but by God Himself. There are but few basic principles of Bible interpretation. What follows is one of those principles. (Source: Ryrie Study Bible) "Recognize the progress of revelation. Remember that the Bible was not handed down all at once as a complete book but that it came from God through many different writers over a period of about 1,600 years. This means that in the progress of revealing His message to man, God may add or even change in one era what He had given in another. "The New Testament adds much that was not revealed in the Old. Furthermore, what God revealed as binding in one period may be rescinded in another (as the prohibition of eating pork, once binding on God's people, has been lifted today, 1 Tim 4:3). This is most important; otherwise, the Bible would contain apparently unresolvable contradictions (as Matt 10:5-7 compared with 28:18-20)" (pp. 1959-1960, Ryrie Study Bible, Moody, 1976, 1978).

9 | Why do people in the OT live longer? | Genesis | kalos | 190772 | ||
"one hundred and twenty years" Genesis 6:3 does not say man's days are limited to 120 years. This is what it says: Genesis 6:3 NET BIBLE So the Lord said, “My spirit will not remain in mankind indefinitely since they are mortal. They will remain for one hundred and twenty more years.”[11] 11 Translators' Note. Heb “his days will be one hundred and twenty years.” Some interpret this to mean that the age expectancy of people from this point on would be one hundred twenty, but neither the subsequent narrative nor reality favors this. It is more likely that this refers to the time remaining between this announcement of judgment and the coming of the flood. (www.bible.org/netbible/index.htm ) As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, (NASB Psalm 90:10a) |

11 | EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED HERE | John 12:3 | kalos | 190717 | ||
This is what happened here at John 12:3: AMPLIFIED John 12:3 Mary took a pound of ointment of pure liquid nard [a rare perfume] that was very expensive, and she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped them with her hair. And the whole house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. Grace to you, Kalos |

12 | does God intend for us to pay tithes | Malachi | kalos | 190571 | ||
And IF we are still under the law of tithing because God doesn't change, then we are still obligated to obey the other 612 commands in the Law of Moses, are we not? You can't have it both ways. Grace to you, John |

13 | Interpreting Revelation | Revelation | kalos | 190536 | ||
Heb 13:8 What it means (Repost of Note by DocTrinsograce (ID# 142141) Hi, M----... What K---- is complaining about is the out-of-context quote of Hebrew 13:8, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." In this passage it is talking about the faithfulness of God which assures us that our salvation is secure. History is the unfolding plan of God's redemptive plan of redemption. The imutability of God does not mean that He deals with man the same way as He always has. God no longer walks with man in the garden; He no longer manifests Himself through prophets; He no longer leads people with a pillar of fire by night; He no longer leads through judges; He no longer occupies the holy of holies; He no longer requires that women and gentiles stay at a distance from Him; He no longer stands in the temple, confounding the teachers of the law, as a 12 year old; He no longer teaches the multitudes on the mountains Palestine; He no longer speaks His truth through the mouths of apostles; etc. etc. etc. Yes, God reveals Himself to those that diligently seek Him (John 14:21, Heb 11:6). Yes, God instructs His own (1 Cor 2:13). etc. What many fail to realize is that God can and does limit Himself. He could, this very moment, speak audibly to me. He could take me into the third heaven and reveal mysteries to me. Instead, He has chosen to give us His complete, authoritative, all sufficent Word. Like my pastor once said, "To say that we need something more, is to denegrate the Word as insufficient or incomplete. To say that we need a magical visitation is to diminish the authority of the Word." K---- might state things more clearly than I have... and I may not have expressed his objections fully... but I believe I may have captured the gist of his complaint. I certainly agree with it -- with no rancor toward those who think differently -- only love for the Word and love for God's people. In Him, Doc |

14 | Four Common Views of the End Times | Rev 21:2 | kalos | 190535 | ||
Revelation: Four Basic Views 'There are four basic approaches to interpreting Revelation: 'Preterist - Those who subscribe to this view believe that the events in Revelation took place in the first-century Roman empire. 'Idealist - This view holds that Revelation is full of a cosmic struggle between good and evil. It is a book that contains stories of spiritual truth, but no literal events or prophecy. There is no connection to historical events. 'Historicist - Events are seen generally from history rather than as specific events. There are no time limitations placed on the book. 'Futuristic - This view insists that Revelation chapter 6 to 22 refer to future events. Regarding this view, John MacArthur says, "Only this view does justice to Revelation's claim to be prophecy and interprets the entire book by the consistent grammatical-historical method used for the rest of Scripture."' ____________________ Source: www.allaboutpopularissues.org/meaning-of-the-book-of-revelation-faq.htm |

15 | does God intend for us to pay tithes | Malachi | kalos | 190458 | ||
Bill1973, The Torah (God's law found in the writings of Moses) teaches us where and to whom the tithe is to be paid. If tithing is an example of the unchangeableness of God, then I wonder: Are we still obligated to keep (obey, observe) all of the 613 commands in the Torah (Law)? Grace to you, Kalos |

The Great Harlot Source: revelationcommentary.org/17_chapter.html 'What entity would be considered the mother of all harlots in a biblical sense? 'Isaiah 1:21 calls Jerusalem a harlot. Isaiah 23:13-18 depicts Tyre as a harlot. Nahum 3:4 declares Nineveh a harlot. The nation Israel is repeatedly accused by the prophets of being a harlot (Jer 3:6-10; Ezek 16:15-22; Hos 4:12-13)...'

The Myth of Never Judging That believers are never to judge is an idea not taught in Scripture. In the NT what does "judge" mean? In the New Testament the word translated "judge" means: try, investigate, inquire into, discern, pass disciplinary judgment [passing censuring sentence as the facts require], discern the difference between right and wrong, decide grievances, disputes, and quarrels, think over and make up your mind, searchingly examine, pay attention and weigh and discern [what is said], examine, test and evaluate. Do not judge? Do not judge and criticize and condemn others, so that you may not be judged and criticized and condemned yourselves. Matthew 7:1 Amplified New Testament "7:1 Judge not. As the context reveals, this does not prohibit all types of judging (v. 16). There is a righteous kind of judgment we are supposed to exercise with careful discernment (John 7:24). Censorious, hypocritical, self-righteous, or other kinds of unfair judgments are forbidden; but in order to fulfill the commandments that follow, it is necessary to discern dogs and swine (v. 6) from one's own brethren (vv. 3-5)" (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). A careful reading of the NT and a study of the passages in which the English word "judge" appears may surprise you. According to the Scriptures (see below), Christians are to judge: - all things - those who are inside the church - the world - angels - what is said or taught - ourselves So believers are to judge at least six different kinds of things or individuals. Scriptural examples of Christians judging are presented below. The following Scripture quotations are from the New King James Version (NKJV) unless otherwise noted. In quotations from the NKJV, all words enclosed in parentheses ( ) or brackets [ ] are from the text of the Amplified New Testament (AMP). 1 Co 2:15 (AMP) But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one . . . 1 Co 5: 12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge (pass disciplinary judgment [passing censuring sentence on them as the facts require] AMP) those who are inside [the church]? 1 Co 6:2 Do you not know that the saints will judge (and govern) the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge (try) the smallest matters? 1 Co 6:3 Do you not know that we shall judge angels (and pronounce opinion between right and wrong [for them] AMP)? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 1 Co 6:5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge (to decide [the private grievances, disputes, and quarrels] AMP) between his brethren? 1 Co 10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge (think over and make up your minds AMP) for yourselves [about] what I say. 1 Co 11:31 For if we would judge (searchingly examine) ourselves [detecting our shortcomings and recognizing our own condition AMP], we would not be judged. 1 Co 14:29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge (pay attention and weigh and discern what is said AMP). 2 Co 13:5 (AMP) Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves... |
