3 | My apologies if I offended any of you | Bible general Archive 4 | quvmoh | 203542 | ||
Greetings, Welcome to the forum, first of all. I was merely curious because I had similar questions on an exam I had for one of my New Testament courses in college. If you need help with understanding things in your classes, please feel free to ask. I am sure that others here will agree that we don't want to do your class work for you, but at the same time, we also want you to understand God's word better. You are always welcome to ask questions you have about the God's word. Please continue to ask. Quvmoh |

4 | Knowing gay minister unequally yoked? | Bible general Archive 4 | quvmoh | 203998 | ||
The Bible comes right out and describes homosexuality as being wrong in Genesis, Leviticus, and in Romans. I think there's a couple of other places where it's described as wrong also. So the issue about being a Christian and being Gay should be self evident. Being a minister and being gay only makes it worse. As for unequally yoked, I'm not sure of the scripture reference off the top of my head, but I'm sure that its in reference to a believer being married to a non believer. I'll respond more later when I have time to sit down and confirm. Quvmoh |

5 | Creeds and Confessions Needful? | Bible general Archive 4 | quvmoh | 205811 | ||
Claiming to be a Baptist is like claiming to be an American. There are as many denominations among the Baptists as there are subcultures within America. There are Southern Baptists, Cooperative Baptists, Free will Baptists, Anabaptists, Independen Baptists, American Baptists, and on and on. Each one has their own set of beliefs. Some are conservative, others liberal. Some are calvinists, some arminean. Some are Dispensationalist, some aren't. There are a wide variation and variety of beliefs. I personally hold to the Southern Baptist beliefs. Most, if not all, of the churches I have been involved in are Sola Scriptura. The Bible is the only word of God. I'm not sure if this answers your questions or not, but perhaps it does help. quvmoh |

6 | Creeds and Confessions Needful? | Bible general Archive 4 | quvmoh | 205904 | ||
Greetings, I cannot say about many of the Baptists denominations, but about the Southern Baptists. We adhere to the Baptist Faith and Message, which isn't a Creed but a statement of what we believe. It does summarize and touch on various confessions and creed. As for sola scriptura, the Bible, as in the Old and New testaments, is the only authority of God's word because other so called holy documents fail the test of canonicity. Like the apocrypha, for example, doesn't hold true to prophecy as being scriptural, as well as authors being ambiguous, and many other reasons. The book of mormon isn't concidered to be scripture either, and neither is the koran. The view that many of the churches I have belonged to hold that Christian History, tradition, and even creeds and confessions are good for helping to interpret the scripture, but that they must give leave to the Authority of scripture first. If something with theology or interpretation is inconsistant with the Scripture, you alter the theology or interpretation, not the Bible. Many false beliefs, assumptions, and inconsistant theologies have emerged in the Church as a whole because someone placed another source on equal authority to the Bible. By being sola scriptura, we try to prevent that as much as possible. quvmoh |

7 | Why is the Christian Church so divided? | Bible general Archive 4 | quvmoh | 206148 | ||
If you are referring to denominations, then the answer lies in doctrine. There are 5 basic doctrines which every denomination adheres to. However, there are several other doctrines that the denominations will vary. Basically, they agree on what's important but differ in the details. quvmoh |

9 | To jehovah the earth belong | Bible general Archive 4 | quvmoh | 206735 | ||
Greetings, You ask first who Jehovah is. As I said, Jehovah is God. Jehovah is the English transliteration of the German transliteration of the Latin transliteration of the Hebrew name of God: YHWH. To further explain, When Jerome translated the Bible from Greek and Hebrew into Latin, he transliterated YHWH into Latin Characters. Several centuries later when Martin Luther translated the Bible into German, he transliterated the Latin form of YHWH into German. When the Bible was translated into English, they used the German word for inspiration and is thus: Jehovah. So .. that is a summary of how we got the spelling of Jehovah. You asked how you can live with Jehovah's day in mind. Without any clarity, I am assuming you are referring to either the Sabbath Day, which is Saturday, or The Lord's Day, which is Sunday. What I say next is not written to be forceful, rude, or aggressive, but to help answer your question. God did not have to create anything in existence, but he did. God did not have to reveal himself, but he did. God did not have to send Jesus, but he did. God does not have to provide for our needs, but he does. God did not have to save us from our sins, but he did. God does not have to bestow his Grace and Mercy on us, but he does. God does not have to do anything for us. He does these things, and more, for us because he wants to. God provided his son: Jesus. God provided his law to Moses. God provided his perfect will to his prophets. God provided his Holy Word to his followers. God revealed his perfect righteousness. With all that in mind, how do YOU think you should live? quvmoh |

10 | Does Paul contradict Jesus? | NT general | quvmoh | 203046 | ||
Paul sums salvation up perfectly when he wrote that "By grace are you saved, through faith. Not of works, lest any man should boast." Basically meaning, that there is no act under heaven that you did to achieve salvation. It is purely based upon the Grace of God through the channel of your faith in his power and his son Jesus Christ. You, as a saved person, have no bragging rights over another. Now .. where do works come in? Works are the outward expression of your inner faith and belief. The saying "if it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it must be a duck .." holds true here. A true Christian will gladly and freely perform acts of generosity and love. Not because he is trying to get into heaven, but because he wants others to know who he serves. Paul reflects this time and time again when he addresses himself as "a slave of Christ" in the introductions of his epistles. Now, if you came across a person claiming to be a Christian, but was rude, violent, obscene, and simply un-caring, then there would be severe doubt as to whether or not that person was truly saved. As Jesus describes in many of his parables, when a seed is planted and there is growth, there should also be fruit. Works support and show others that we are bearing fruit. Works doesn't save you. You don't work your way into heaven. You prove to others that you are on your way to heaven by doing what a Christian would naturally want to do. Quvmoh |

11 | Does Paul contradict Jesus? | NT general | quvmoh | 203047 | ||
One last bit that I intended to mention, but didn't. There are no contradictions in the Bible. Paul doesn't contradict Jesus. Instead, he clarifies what Jesus taught. Every apparent contradiction can be easily explained when viewed with in the context of scripture. Quvmoh |

18 | once saved, always saved-Bible location | NT general | quvmoh | 206506 | ||
Greetings, As some of the others have said, the phrase "Once saved, always saved" isn't found in the Bible. However, that doesn't invalidate the teaching. The term "Trinity" isn't in the Bible, yet the teaching is there. The Term "homosexuality" isn't in the Bible, yet the act is still described as being wrong in the Bible. So this is not something unique. There are a variety of passages that support this. The first is Romans 8. Another is 1 Peter 1:3-9, as well as John 3. quvmoh |

19 | "sons of God saw daughters of men?" | Genesis | quvmoh | 203164 | ||
Genesis 6:1-6, unlike many far fetched theorists claim, doesn't refer to angels marrying humans in some kind of Dungeon and Dragons RPG knockoff. It's referring to the lineage of Seth and the Lineage of Cain intermarrying. One line, the line of Seth, apparently remained true to God's will. The line of Cain didn't. The Giants in the land reference is a time reference. As if I were to tell you something and say "The Rams football team was still in California ... ". By that, you would understand I was referring to a time prior to their move to St. Louis, MO. The same is true here. Moses is establishing a time reference that the readers of his day and culture would understand, but has now lost it's meaning. With that said, God was sorry that he remade man because they had grown wicked. The two separate lines had mingled and as such both were even more sinful than before. What the details are, we don't know, but it was significant enough for God to try and wash man away and start from scratch. The Sons of God reference universally identifies human believers, especially so in the New Testament. Those who were obeying God's desire. Something that is referred to as being "by man" or "of man" is often identifying something contrary to God's will. In the context of the first 6 chapters of Genesis, these would easily define Seth and Cain's family respectively. Quvmoh |

20 | "sons of God saw daughters of men?" | Genesis | quvmoh | 203273 | ||
It is important who the "Sons of God" were. As John wrote in his 1st epistle, "Beloved how wonderful it is that we are called the Children of God." Paul told the Romans, "We cry out "Abba, Father." Even the author of Hebrews asked "To which of the angels did God say 'Today you are my son, today I have begotten you.'" The implication is that none of the Angels have ever earned that title. To be called a son or a daughter or a child of the Most High is an honor and a pleasure that no being in all of creation or beyond it can ever attain except those who are washed and cleansed by the saving blood of Christ Jesus. While it may seem trivial to some about this issue of who these groups are in this passage in Genesis is referring to, it is vital that we comprehend the damage and insult it is to give our title of Adopted children of God to a being such as an angel whose entire purpose is servitude. The true believers and followers of God through out the Bible are the Children, sons, and daughters of God. No one else is given that title. We don't even deserve it because of our sinful past. Yet through his mercy and grace, we receive it gladly and lovingly, secure in the knowledge that nothing we do will ever change the fact that we are God's beloved children. Quvmoh |
