1 | Christ waslking through hell | Not Specified | ItsMe | 160690 | ||
Does anyone know where the Bible says Christ walked through hell and that he forgave some people there. Someone asked me recently where this was and I can't find it. I know in the Apostles Creed we say he died and arose on the 3rd day - what was he doing during that time? Can anybody help me with this? | ||||||
2 | Purgatory and Priest | Bible general Archive 3 | ItsMe | 160708 | ||
A Catholic friend told me Purgatory was created by an early pope (all leaders are not honest)to get money for the church. You could buy your loved ones out. Most Catholics don't believe it but when the rubber hits the road and your loved one dies - many will do whatever they can 'just in case'. | ||||||

4 | Believing In Jesus | Bible general Archive 3 | ItsMe | 160948 | ||
NightJay, Thank you for sharing that. Your faith and love are fine. No matter what happens to your Grandmother, don't let that change. God uses illnesses too. My mother was the picture of health, still working outside the home in her late 70's. She had a series of strokes and heart attacks. Her body was useless but her mind still worked. For years she would cry to me, why doesn't God heal me. I could be doing so much for Him. That went on for over 3 years. The last 6 months or so, my mother praised God. Thanked Jesus for saving her, and my 40 year old brother. Who had been far away from God most of his adult life. We both believed that her illness had a direct link to his praying and converting. She was 84 when she died and the last 4 years were in a nursing home. I prayed constantly for God to heal her. God gave her the ultimate healing, which wasn't what I wanted. He has a plan and knows much more than I do. I'm adding you and your grandparents to my prayers. I hope God chooses to clear your Grandmother's mind. I'm glad it was clear enough to understand you. You have made her very happy and you will see her again some day with a new body and mind. God bless you. |

5 | Is belief in the bible needed to be save | NT general Archive 1 | ItsMe | 160949 | ||
I think the hang-up may be in the phrase, word of God. I grew up in churches that were legalistic too. That seems to have been the norm for many years. The denomination of my birth has changed a lot -praise God, and I'm back there. But, back to your comments. I think the Bible, all of it, the early scriptures and the later scriptures, were inspired by God. I don't think He uttered all that we read there. I think he inspired it. My husband questions why some of the books that were included in the earlier church have been removed. I don't know. I trust God that what I need is in this Book I love and read. If you honestly seek an answer, stay in it, and He will reveal the answer He has for you. God bless you. |

6 | Is belief in the bible needed to be save | NT general Archive 1 | ItsMe | 160959 | ||
Don't worry about joining a church. Just pray and read. If you read all the responses in this thread you might lean a little more toward the belief that the Bible is God's inspired word. You do not need it to get saved. I believe many people in remote areas have been saved without it. Many also would never have been if someone didn't share the word with them. I went through the late 50's -80's reading it, studying it, and doubting it. I had found Christ but there was so much bible I couldn't swallow. Somewhere I turned my perspective into really wanting to know. I somehow let go of all my arguments and proofs. Now, daily, I pray show me what you want me to get out of this portion of your word, or something similar, and I read. Often I feel Him very close. I have no doubt it is the word He wants me to be reading and when all else fails, I can find a truth in this word. Lee Stroebel's books helped me a lot too. He didn't believe in it at all. He proved himself wrong. God isn't offended if Hetfield is suggesting it, in honest desire to know the truth. If you put your faith in Christ and seek Him, He will lead you right back to the Bible. He has done it to me so many times. God bless you both in your pursuit. |

7 | Loving our Lord | NT general Archive 1 | ItsMe | 160960 | ||
Deut 6:5: You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. Then Jesus quoted it in Matt 22:37 - And He said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and all your soul, and with all your mind." The phrase, with all your heart, runs throughout the Bible. I take it to mean just loving Him completely. With all the love you can give. Some say, with every ounce of your being. I like that. If you don't feel like you do love the Lord that way, just pursue it. Tell Him that's what you want, and read His word. You will find yourself there without knowing how you got there! May God fill your heart until it is bursting with love for Him - He loves you that much. |

8 | unwed, 2 children, living w/their father | Gen 2:21 | ItsMe | 160756 | ||
Those verses imply one man for one woman for a lifetime. I truly sympathize with your situation. If you read your Bible, try to get closer to Him, He will let you know. The Bible does say obey the laws of the land so if you find yourself doing anything that isn't, don't do it (like taxes, or food stamps, etc.). Also, train up a child n the way they should go, what are your children learning from this? Those are just starters. I'm not preaching, trust me. Just answering. | ||||||
9 | Is Cain Adams son? | Gen 4:1 | ItsMe | 161690 | ||
This is a new "translation" to me. 'greatly multiply thy sorry and thy conception' - means adding another baby? I think that is a little far out. I think conception was going to be painful and she might even wish she had not conceived (sorrow). Is there any source for your thinking this meant two babies? I looked up the Strongs reference and it translates to "he said I will greatly enlarge/increase thy pain, labour, hardship and thy physical conception or pregnancy in pain, hurt, hardship, thou shalt bring forth son, child, children." I don't get that she was given a second child. Thanks. | ||||||
10 | Did Eve hope she would be Jesus mother ? | Gen 4:1 | ItsMe | 161693 | ||
I have never found anything that said Eve hoped to be the mother of Christ. I think when people say, every since Adam, people have been waiting for a saviour - they just mean that people have always been waiting for their savior - not literally that Adam and Eve were waiting. People waited for a Messiah a long time. I don't think that "messiah" is mentioned until Daniel. Often savior was used for God - to come save them from some thing or situation. OK - Did I get off track here? |

11 | WHY ARE KIDS STILL BEING BORN | Gen 4:1 | ItsMe | 161694 | ||
Because He didn't say it would happen that way. The story, and the ending, have already been told. We live, learn, and, hopefully, share Him. I can't imagine an earth without the miracle of birth. "This" world is ending. Be ready! |

12 | What does a crocodile symbolize? | Lev 11:30 | ItsMe | 160720 | ||
Some people think the references to “leviathan” (Job 41:1), “behemoth” (Job 40:15, and dragons (many texts) are references to dinosaurs but most Bible scholars suggest that the descriptions in Job are of crocodiles or hippos. Both lived in the Near East in those days. I find no references of crocodiles in the Bible so don't know that they are symbolic of anything. | ||||||
13 | David and Galiath | 1 Sam 17:46 | ItsMe | 160693 | ||

14 | Help!!! | 2 Sam 7:22 | ItsMe | 162810 | ||
I'm not sure how to answer your question. I too know a wonderful Muslim man. He is more Christ-like than many of my Christian friends. I do know that Allah is not the God of Creation, as our God is. Allah was the moon god. That's why the crescent moon is on their templs and on the flag of Turkey. I'm not worshipping the god of the moon. I personally know the God of all creation. If you read much of the Koran, there is much about dieing for Allah and killing for Allah. Our God doesn't promote killing. He tells us to love our enemy. (Matt 5:43-48) Read your Bible - Pray that you know the truth (know it so you can explain it) John 8:32 says you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. Pray for your friend, pray for God's wisdom, pray for God to make you His instrument for this friend and God will give you wisdom you didn't know you could have. God bless you. - and now I reread and see that your friend wants to know Him - I'll pray to that end - and you too. Tell your friend if he seeks Him, asks Christ to make Himself known to Him, He will. I'm speaking from experience on that one! | ||||||
15 | who was elisha's servant? | 2 Kin 4:11 | ItsMe | 161923 | ||
2 Kings 4 and 5 discuss Elisha's servant - Gehazi was the name. | ||||||
16 | spirit or Holy Spirit? | Job 34:14 | ItsMe | 162845 | ||
I agree with the previous post (Mark). I think it means God can do what He wants to with us. Also, generally, in Bible translations, if they are referring to the Holy Spirit, even when it just says Spirit, it is capitalized, so that you know it means Holy Spirit. That's from theology class - and the prof seemed to know what he was teaching! So when reading scripture if it says Spirit (cap) consider it Holy Spirit. |

17 | can husband and wife be blessings | Prov 5:18 | ItsMe | 160962 | ||
This form asks that you put a scripture so I put that one - but it doesn't answer your question. I looked up blessing and one definition said "a special favor, benefit, gift from God". If your wife or husband fits that description - they may well be a blessing. If you consider them a blessing, if they make your life better, happier and help you to praise God and live for Him more, then I think they are a blessing. I think my spouse is a very special gift (blessing) from God. | ||||||
18 | The art of haggling :-) | Prov 20:14 | ItsMe | 160707 | ||
14 It's no good, it's no good says the buyer then off he goes and boasts about his purchase. 15 Gold there is, and rubies in abundance, but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel. I think it is talking about how plentiful are the loud mouths like this one that put things down, then buy cheap (steal) - and yet lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel. (more rare than gold or rubies). |

19 | How do you forgive? | Prov 20:22 | ItsMe | 161260 | ||
First I've prayed for you. You have been hurt and by someone that should have been trusted. I've learned (I'm old so I've had lots of lessons in this life!) that forgiveness frees me, not the person that wronged me. The hurt is real. Pray for that person. Pray that God help you forgive them. Pray for God's release from this pain. I've had to walk up to a person, at one time and say, I forgive you. That shocked them. Like the other writers said, if Christ could go to that cross to forgive me, I will practice and work at forgiving others, until I die. As a human, you many never forget in this lifetime. When the memory comes to mind, sing a song of praise. Sometimes I have to sing out loud - Amazing Grace is good for me. It takes work to forgive. I'm praying you peace and strength. | ||||||
