1 | When was genesis written? and by who? | Bible general Archive 1 | philemcc | 76700 | ||
As I thought about your question this verse came to mind. Luke 20:37 And Moses clearly proves that the dead are raised to life. In the passage about the burning bush he speaks of the Lord as "the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' 38 He is the God of the living, not of the dead, for to him all are alive." This is Jesus saying that Moses wrote Exodus so it wouldn't be unreasonable to think that he wrote Genesis. If it was Moses that would answer the when. philemcc |

2 | Is Gambling a Sin? REf. Please | Bible general Archive 1 | philemcc | 76832 | ||
We could discuss if the act of gambling, like so many other things we can do, in itself is a sin, but there is a bigger question. How does it effect those around you? Rom 14: 14 (I know and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. Still, to someone who considers a thing to be unclean, to that one it is unclean.) 15 For if your brother is hurt by what you eat, you are no longer walking according to love. By what you eat, do not destroy that one for whom Christ died. 16 Therefore, do not let your good be slandered, 17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. philemcc |

4 | did Job strenghten himself | Job 21:1 | philemcc | 73003 | ||
Job was defending his faith in God, his friends were accusing him of things that he knew were not true but there was no visible evidence of God’s blessing him. Also Job was focused on himself Job 21:5 and he believed hope ended at death Job 21:21. Hope this helps: Phil |

5 | why did job repent ? Did he sin? | Job 42:6 | philemcc | 76807 | ||
The word repent means a change of mind or direction. This is what happened to Job as explained by his own words as he answered God. Job 42: 3 You ask how I dare question your wisdom when I am so very ignorant. I talked about things I did not understand, about marvels too great for me to know. 4 You told me to listen while you spoke and to try to answer your questions. 5 In the past I knew only what others had told me, but now I have seen you with my own eyes. 6 So I am ashamed of all I have said and repent in dust and ashes. philemcc |

6 | what is in isaiah 42 verse 16 | Is 42:16 | philemcc | 77921 | ||
God is able to do two things at once... 2 pet 2: 6 and if He reduced the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes and condemned them to ruin, making them an example to those who were going to be ungodly; 7 and if He rescued righteous Lot, distressed by the unrestrained behavior of the immoral 8 (for as he lived among them, that righteous man tormented himself day by day with the lawless deeds he saw and heard), 9 then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, philemcc |

7 | Searching for the truth | Is 43:2 | philemcc | 85037 | ||
The Earth was not totally destroyed, the righteous were saved. 1 Peter 3 20who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, 21and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also--not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge[1] of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, What this means is, as surly as the wicked will be destroyed, the righteous will be saved. 2 Peter 3 6By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. These verses give the believer hope in a hopeless world Isaiah 43 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. philemcc |

8 | Was Jesus Rich? | Is 53:2 | philemcc | 78851 | ||
No, he told those who wanted to follow Him… Mat 8: 20Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." The profit Isaiah described Him this way… Isaiah 53: 2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. 3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. philemcc |

10 | How do we seek the Kingdom of God? | Matthew | philemcc | 78782 | ||
This instruction is in the context of do not worry about the things of this life. So how would you seek out what you eat, clothing or a place to live. What kind of car do you drive or would like to drive? What about your job, are you hoping for a raise, promotion or some type of recognition. All of these things and many others have only to do with this life and yet we spend all day every day thinking, planning or dreaming about them. We simply need to start day dreaming about heaven and how glorious it will be. Psalm 1: 1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. philemcc |

11 | How to deal with death? | Matt 5:4 | philemcc | 86895 | ||
When my son died unexpectedly I found these two verses very helpful. Mat5: 4Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Rom8: 28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. It was through prayer that these verses became real to me, as Jesus told the woman at the well, “The water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." Philemcc |

luke 21:12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you. They will hand you over to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors because of My name. 13 It will lead to an opportunity for you to witness. 14 Therefore make up your minds not to prepare your defense ahead of time, 15 for I will give you such words and a wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. 16 You will even be betrayed by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends; and they will kill some of you. 17 And you will be hated by all because of My name. 18 But not a hair of your head will be lost. 19 By your endurance gain your lives. philemcc |

13 | causing to stumble | Matt 18:6 | philemcc | 78049 | ||
You might start by studying the first 3 chapters of Poverbs,, Pro 3: 1 My child, don't forget what I teach you. Always remember what I tell you to do. 2 My teaching will give you a long and prosperous life. 3 Never let go of loyalty and faithfulness. Tie them around your neck; write them on your heart. 4 If you do this, both God and people will be pleased with you. 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. 6 Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way. And then chapter 1 of 2 Peter 2 Pet 1: 3 God's divine power has given us everything we need to live a truly religious life through our knowledge of the one who called us to share in his own glory and goodness. philemcc |

14 | Why did Jesus condemn the Pharisees | Matt 23:13 | philemcc | 87134 | ||
John 5:41"I do not accept praise from men, 42but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. 43I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. 44How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God 45"But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. 46If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. 47But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?"

16 | Matt 24 Is it all in the future? | Matt 24:1 | philemcc | 78368 | ||
Jesus did not say these things in Mat 24 so that we would know the when, where and the who. These are words of encouragement pointing out that He, God, is in charge of this world and things will go just like He says. We must be careful not to get so involved with His words that we don’t hear what He is saying to us. Prov 3: 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. 6 Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way. Haggai 2:4 But now don't be discouraged, any of you. Do the work, for I am with you. 5 When you came out of Egypt, I promised that I would always be with you. I am still with you, so do not be afraid. 6 "Before long I will shake heaven and earth, land and sea. 7 I will overthrow all the nations, and their treasures will be brought here, and the Temple will be filled with wealth. 8 All the silver and gold of the world is mine. 9 The new Temple will be more splendid than the old one, and there I will give my people prosperity and peace." The Lord Almighty has spoken. Heb 12:25 Be careful, then, and do not refuse to hear him who speaks. Those who refused to hear the one who gave the divine message on earth did not escape. How much less shall we escape, then, if we turn away from the one who speaks from heaven! 26 His voice shook the earth at that time, but now he has promised, "I will once more shake not only the earth but heaven as well." 27 The words "once more" plainly show that the created things will be shaken and removed, so that the things that cannot be shaken will remain. 28 Let us be thankful, then, because we receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Let us be grateful and worship God in a way that will please him, with reverence and awe; 29 because our God is indeed a destroying fire. 2 Tim 3:14 But as for you, continue in the truths that you were taught and firmly believe. You know who your teachers were, 15 and you remember that ever since you were a child, you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instruction for right living, 17 so that the person who serves God may be fully qualified and equipped to do every kind of good deed. philemcc |

17 | Is "the whole world" localized/ global? | Matt 24:14 | philemcc | 78843 | ||
Searcher, why are you asking this question, you know the answer??? All men is just that, all men.... 1 Tim 2:1I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-- 2for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time. 7And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles. philemcc |

18 | did He die for you also? | Matt 24:14 | philemcc | 78847 | ||
I would think that anyone who limited salvation to a Roman empire that they would have to define, would be very narrow minded. This would start a whole new theological debate. What constitutes the modern Roman empire, hence who is included or how could one become a citizen in good standing? Is this group of people determined by geography or heritage? It could go on and on in endless debate which would accomplish absolutely nothing except establish some as the undisputed authority over something of no importance. We, you and I and other believers, have a responsibility to be inclusive in our relationship to others, you know salt, light, love one another and all that stuff. We don’t have to prove others wrong we only need to do what Jesus said, “But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself." We only need to say, “Jesus died for me did He die for you?” philemcc |

19 | Insights, background on Mark 6:7-13? | Mark 6:7 | philemcc | 76368 | ||
One thing to keep in mind when we read these verses is that one of the 12 was Judas. He was given the same powers and abilities as the others. Jesus’ reason for sending His disciples out was not to change the world but to teach them who He was. In Luke 10:18 He said to them, "I watched Satan fall from heaven like a lightning flash. 19 Look, I have given you the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy; nothing will ever harm you. 20 However, don't rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven." 21 In that same hour He rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and the learned and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, because this was Your good pleasure. 22 All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son desires to reveal Him." We can get carried away with the power of God when it is our relationship with God that is important. Jesus qualifies the true believer in Matt 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord!' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to Me, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in Your name, drive out demons in Your name, and do many miracles in Your name?' 23 Then I will announce to them, 'I never knew you! Depart from Me, you lawbreakers!' Hope this helps,, Phil |

20 | What does the fig tree symbolize here | Mark 11:21 | philemcc | 78704 | ||
When confronted with the Truth some will try to understand it, others will reject it. The world looks at the creation, which it does not understand, continuing to look for answers rather than accept the obvious. The disciples did not understand what Jesus was doing, they knew that He could say the word and change the world and yet He seemed to only exercise that power at certain times. We are the same way today. God is in control of everything, some we pray for are healed while others are not. Some are saved, some are not. I think Jesus was revealing to His disciples, and to you and I, our need for Him. Not to understand Him but to have a personal relationship with Him. If this is the condition of mankind…. Rom 3: 10 As the Scriptures say: "There is no one who is righteous, 11 no one who is wise or who worships God. 12 All have turned away from God; they have all gone wrong; no one does what is right, not even one. 13 Their words are full of deadly deceit; wicked lies roll off their tongues, and dangerous threats, like snake's poison, from their lips; 14 their speech is filled with bitter curses. 15 They are quick to hurt and kill; 16 they leave ruin and destruction wherever they go. 17 They have not known the path of peace, 18 nor have they learned reverence for God." Than this is the answer….. Acts 2: 9 We are from Parthia, Media, and Elam; from Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia; from Pontus and Asia, 10 from Phrygia and Pamphylia, from Egypt and the regions of Libya near Cyrene. Some of us are from Rome, 11 both Jews and Gentiles converted to Judaism, and some of us are from Crete and Arabia—yet all of us hear them speaking in our own languages about the great things that God has done!" 12 Amazed and confused, they kept asking each other, "What does this mean?" 13 But others made fun of the believers, saying, "These people are drunk!" philemcc |
