3 | Why Canaan was cursed? | Not Specified | calmrage | 71658 | ||
I don't quite understand the following... Can someone help me? Why is Canann cursed? Genesis 20 Noah was the first tiller of the soil. He planted a vineyard; 21 and he drank of the wine, and became drunk, and lay uncovered in his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it upon both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness. 24 When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said, "Cursed be Canaan; a slave of slaves shall he be to his brothers." 26 He also said, "Blessed by the LORD my God be Shem; and let Canaan be his slave." |

4 | Not Drinking in 40 days... possible?? | Not Specified | calmrage | 116379 | ||
How long a person can survive without food and water?? Please read Duet. Chapter 9 and verse 9 Did Mose literally not drink any water and eat any food in fourty days? I could understand Jesus fast in 40 days in Mattew 4:2. Jesus was not mentioned about not drinking water. As for Moses, He said it so clear that he didn't drink any water. Is that possible for a man to live like that.... My thought, it may be possible in the past, (I still reserve the possibilities that verse is not taken seriously) but now, I doubt it even the most spiritual man. What is your thought on this verse?? |

5 | Where's Daniel?! | Not Specified | calmrage | 116490 | ||
Where is Daniel??? This may requires you to read Daniel 3 or perhaps 2 as well. Daniel 2 mentioned that Daniel has been promoted and has authority to take care of many things in the kingdom. However, on chapter 3, it mentions about his 3 friends were arrested because of rejecting or refusing worshipping the image or idol the king built. It didn't mention Daniel at all. How could he be missing in such a big event (image built to worship)? Why wasn't he mentioned in the Bible??? Did he worship the idol? Was there any significance with his absence? How do we treat something this is not mentioned in the Bible and yet it may be important? (well to some people like me anyway) Any thought?? |

6 | Is Church needed for high spirited ones? | Not Specified | calmrage | 129382 | ||
Too much spiritual?? or Is Church really needed for Christian especially those high spirited ones?? I have 2 highly educated relatives. They were once pastors in certain churches. They have taught the gospel to the public in church. However, due to some sort of church politics or disappointment they have been thru, and they seemed to get sick and tired of being part of the church. When I asked them why they don't go to church any more. They simply said that they don't need church. They said they OVERCOME the need to be in church. I didn't understand at first. However, I have a feeling that somehow they don't get along with most churches and/or they can't serve the way they want in church. As a result, they give up the idea of being in church. I was also told that they don't need to be in church because they already understand fully about the Bible and don't need to be preached. However, they sent their daughter to one church, but yet they don't show the presences. p.s. Lately, when they talk about the gospel with other close relatives; they seem to avoid convincing others going to church. Basically, they have no models to show that church is important or recommendation to what denomination or name of the Church. My question really is.. 1. Do high-spirited people (my relatives (a couple), pastors, rev.) need to go to church even they don't to be preached? If they somehow can't serve the lord as preacher, should they still stop going to church like my relatives...? 2. I know it's somewhere, but forgot, please quote me some words from Jesus about going to church is Christian's obligation. (one of them about proud believers should humble themselves, but in their cases, they always say they already did and it's not their problems, it's church problem) 3. Since they claim they are high spirited individuals, how do you confront them with Bible verses if this is wrong not going to church? 4. I do not wish to argue with them. If I do, they will use the argument about me not being high spirit and therefore I always end up not qualifying judging them. 5. Have you known anyone like that situation? How do you deal with that. Your sharing and thought is highly appreicated. thanks.. |

7 | Jesus wept !... did Jesus ever laugh? | Not Specified | calmrage | 147379 | ||
Have you ever wonder why the Bible never mentioned that Jesus laughs or smiles? (Correct and quote me if I am wrong) Yes, his teachings in mountain about those are blessed... "Blessed are those..... " However, the Bible seems not to mention his facial expression about happines. Has Jesus been happy in his life? The Bible has mentioned that Jesus Wept as in John 11:15.Is there a reason for it? Or is it Christians are like Christ that most of our lives have to be pain and suffering in order to be eternally happy!??? |

9 | Looking for a verse or passage | Not Specified | calmrage | 152892 | ||
Looding for a verse or passage.. There is a passage or verse about Christians or believers in some situation or cirumstance should speak the way non-believers speak. In a sense that it means we have to speak to the way they want to speak so that they can understand gospel easily. Perhaps, I do not explain too well. I know somewhere there is a verse about that. If anyone knows, please help me find that verse. thanks |

10 | Speaking of God or for God?? | Not Specified | calmrage | 157851 | ||
Speaking for God or of God?? We all know that God is all knowing and he is the creator of all. And yet, when it comes to disaster or tregedy, people tend to say things for God in a way that it is not act of God.. For example, Tsunami and Katrina ... I heard that many pastors will say during the sermon "...... why would God let it (nature) happen........" It almost sounded like it is not act of God or should I say it is not God's will to have disaster or they avoid saying that God is punishing people. When I thought of Job 1:12 ... "And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. " Even so, I stil think it's God's will or act of God to let Satan to control Job. Whether it is a punishment or Whatever he does (acccident, tregedy, disaster), he always has a purpose. I just don't get why people are afraid to say that it's act of God or God's will. In the deep thinking, the end of the world is coming soon. We will sooner or later have to face reality that Jesus will come back and the world will be destroyed regardless. Of course, this time, it may not be by water. Anyway, I found that many Christians are really afraid to admit it's act of God. In the old testament, God sent forth lot of diaster to people as well and it was a fact. Yes, God loved us, that's why he sent his son Jesus to save us. However, saving a soul is far more important than a body. Maybe they just say that to comfort the victims of disaster because as humans, we are always looking at our secular situation first. How many of us would be rejoice in pain like Paul did in jail. Not many..... I would like your take on this one... |

11 | How do you explain the mystery? | Not Specified | calmrage | 158711 | ||
How do you explain non-believers the Mystery of Trinity?? For example: The Bible says God is all knowing and Jesus is also God, but yet for the second coming of Jesus, not even Jesus the son knows when it is, only the Father knows. So, how do we explain the mystery of Trinity or should we simply say this is mystery ? |

12 | Harold Camping ? | Not Specified | calmrage | 161367 | ||
Harold Camping... controversal? Does anyone know about this person? He is a Bible scholar from family Radio.. His teaching sounded so good and so truthful. However, after 1994 and I've come to the conclusion to lose confidence of him and stop listening him. He made a false prediction or Bible interpretation that 1994 would be the end of the world and Christ would have come that day. And as time passes by, he made another prediction (according to my Sunday school Teacher) that 2011 will be Christ's second coming. Bible clearly said that no one will know the hours or days that Christ would come, even the son. However, he explained that the Bible didn't say YEAR. Well, now my question. How do you intrepret the Bible the right way? According to my sunday school teacher, we will not know, but we will be more or less estimate approximately after 30 years the showing of Anti-Christ. Every one said that interpret the Bible with or from the Bible itself. Actually, people interpret the Bible with the Bible according to how they do it..... Yes, there are lots of areas we could do, but there are some dangerous area like the coming of Christ or understanding of Revelation will be very difficult to intrepret. That leads to the next question... Should we avoid reading that book or should i say should we avoid intrepreting that book ??? |

15 | Church of Christ --- A cult?? | Bible general Archive 3 | calmrage | 169607 | ||
I think you misunderstood... I said.. that led me to a question of church of Christ.. That has nothing to do about the death of a person. What point fingers?? What distasteful?? I found you being sensitive on this kind of subject. Or you merely just don't understand the question. On your note, you had shared nothing but your sensitivity. Why I asked that question? Being in true religion is more important; I read few web sites about that religion. Some says not a cult, some says the belief is not pure because they do not accept holy spirit. And your answer was merely a rejection. Either you are part of it or you are over sensitive. I would rather see no answer than a sensitive response. Besides, to distinguish what is cult and what is not is very important to many because anti-Christ talks and acts like Christ. If we don't know the difference even a little bit, that will make the gospel false. |

16 | 2 Timothy 2:15 | Bible general Archive 3 | calmrage | 169610 | ||
LionHeart.. Again, let me speak of a parable.. so you will understand my question... For example, there is auto accident. A truck full of apples spilled out lots of apples. In my mind, I was thinking about the apples, and I ask if apples are really good for the bodies. And you gave me some verses about Adam and Eve and how people are sinned or not careful in things they do...... and so on.... A plain questions need not to have complicated answer. Perhaps you like to make a big statement about certain things. But again, that is what happened in some Bible Study or Sermon. When we are concentrating one simple things. There is no need to go around about ...... Otherwise, people get more confused.... I hope you understand.. I know you were trying to make a point. However, I think it may only make people hard to understand what you are trying to say even though you use a lot of verses as reference. However, they are not what people want to know. You remind me of some pastors. In order to show how well they know about the Bible. Regardless of what the questions, they will make a big circle of long statements and at the end I was thinking.. For that question, it coule be answer in 1 minute which they can spend 15 minutes trying to make a point. Was that my question??? Or was I not directly enough??? This could be their personalities. Perhaps, you thought I am not a believer and try to convince me the importance rather than the difference. However, this is important for some. A Christian look alike (Mormon or Johovah witness) knocked on the door and say "Knock and ye should find "and spread the so called gospel, we believe? They say thngs so close to the truth... we believe??? Again, simple question needs simple answer.... Thanks for your response anyway....... |

Acutally.. I want answer like this... Johova witness - Believe in the Bible, but do not believe in Christ as Savior Mormon - They have additional book of Authority.. Church of Christ - .... and so on... A distinghish of what each religion belives.. not denomination... I have spoken with some Johova wittness people, they can also quote what the Bible says just like you and lionheart did and yet that is not enough to show that what actually they believe because their gospel is so close... In this age, simply saying believing in God is actually not enough.. Because Christains believe in trinity, not just God.. |

19 | 1. Is God sovereign? 2.) Free Will? | Bible general Archive 2 | calmrage | 147385 | ||
My understanding is that everything is created under the power of God. God has his ways of thinking. Why did he create Satan? why did he make himself suffer as Jesus? Why did he create this and that and destroy this and that? That's beyond human understanding. I have heard that the simple answer is that God wants his creation to glorify him. However, the depth of what his intention is not so easily to be understood. In other words, if we understand why and how everything God does, we will be called god. answer to q1: Simple answer, God wants to use Satan as a testing program to Job. Why? only God knows. Just like people ask why so many innocent people died in tsunami in Indonesia. It's beyond our understanding.. Is it act of God or act of Nature of act of Satan??? As a matter of fact, if you look at the whole picture, everything is act of God, but if you look at the smaller picture, maybe God let Satan do his thing again... A2. Here is example. A programmer creates a program that produce random number. He is a creator. He knows inside out of what's going on in the program. The number will keep coming out according to his calculation. He can stop the program anytime. But he chooses to let it run until he decides to stop it. We human are like the player in the program. We can choose certain random numbers, but we choose the - negative numbers, the Programmer or Creator will somehow design to unplug the game and make it "game over". Of course, our lives are in controlled by God no matter how. God created us and wants us to glorify his creation. Why? because is God. Again, if we think about the in-depth question of why. It's really hard to understand why God did all those.... However, the focus is not to understand the intention before God, but to focus our lives like we are the players, we are focusing the game, but not how the programmer makes the game. It's really beyond our understanding. |
