I never heard that before, will have to study on it. Thanks. | ||||||
3 | why did God create the world | Gen 1:1 | wdc | 241592 | ||
We can help others after we have been through trails ourselves. 2 Cor. 1:3-5 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ. |

I have come back to this post after all these years and these anwers still amaze me for their depth and thought. Thank you again for your interaction. | ||||||
5 | Woman's place in Heaven | Bible general | wdc | 241585 | ||
I note here that there are 3 heavens. 2 Corinthians 12:2 NAS I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago -whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows -such a man was caught up to the third heaven. |

6 | Is NASB better than other translations? | 2 Tim 2:15 | wdc | 219220 | ||
If the NASB is so literal, why are there so many footnotes that say "lit" meaning literally? If that is what the scripture says literally, why didn't they print that? I want a Bible that says what it says literally, regardless of how it reads, that is why I am currenlty studying the Greek language, I hope to eventually be able to read the Greek text. I don't know if this will solve the battle going on in my heart, but maybe it will help. | ||||||

8 | What about those who have never heard? | Rom 1:16 | wdc | 103570 | ||
Hank. What are you doing up this late at night? I'm at work, what's your excuse? I agree whole heartedly that Jesus is the only way. What I see there is that if man will acknowledge God without the knowledge of the gospel, God will obligate Himself to that man to get the gospel to him. There will never be another way to get to God, but some don't know the way. God is not willing that any should perish, and will do whatever it takes to get the gospel to them. Sometime that first step of faith on man's part may be as simple as saying, "You know, this world didn't just happen." I believe if we are faithful to the light (knowledge) we have, God will give us more, and lead us to repentance unto salvation if we will follow. Thanks for you input. wdc |

9 | What if? | Rom 7:17 | wdc | 103568 | ||
Steve, I know this is old, but I go back and review these things and think about them a lot. That is what is wrong with man outside of Christ, he is stagnate and dead. It is only the breath of the Spirit that brings life to us. John 3:7 through John 3:8 7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. What do you think? wdc |

Ray, I see the duality of the prophecy and it makes sense in that light. Thanks, wdc |

Thanks z4, that verse clears up some things for me. Sometime I get to thinking about one thing so much that I forget everything else. wdc |

12 | When ever you want to | Ex 21:10 | wdc | 103565 | ||
You make a good point. I agree that it was because of the hardness of the heart that these things were done, as is the case with most, if not all sin. I still have a problem with the frequency that we see acts of sex outside of marriage in the O.T. We never read in the N.T. that Paul was going down the road to Colosse or some place and stopped off by the way because he saw some woman on the side of the road. I think maybe the difference could be the presence of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the N.T. wdc |

13 | To understand one verse ! | 1 Cor 11:16 | wdc | 103473 | ||
I find this happens a lot when I study the different translations of the Bible. So I started to study Greek to help my understanding, and I found out that not all translations or based on the same Greek text. In other words, there is more than one Greek text also. Now I really got a headache. I don't like using the KJV, but the Church where I pastor is KJV only, and they get really upset if I read a passage and it says something different from what they are reading. I prefer the NKJV or the NASB, but I get confused sometime when read verses and a wording is different, even as small as "the" in some places. Some places I read, the word "the" makes a lot of difference to me in the meaning of the verse. O well, I'm rambling here. I don't have the answer to this question, I wish I did. I use the KJV because it keeps peace in the Church and I believe that is what the Lord would have me do. Maybe one day He will lead to a place where it is not believed that Jesus spoke in the 1611 English language. later...wdc |

15 | What about those who have never heard? | Rom 1:16 | wdc | 103471 | ||
Hank, Here is what I wrote. Subject: The Gospel the sole means of salvation? Note: Pagans are not damned without an oppurtunity to believe. My understanding of Rom. 1:14-21. God reveals Himself to all mankind through various ways. v. 16 the gospel v. 20 in creation (I understand this to mean that if any man will just look around, he will come to the conclusion that this world did not happen by chance, that there is a master creator. God says He has revealed Himself in creation, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" I believe that every person is born with the knowledge that he and this world did not just happen, he is born with a longing in his heart for more, or something else, and that something else is what died in man when Adam sinned, the spiritual part that communed with God. As sinners, whether in some dark remote part of the world or in America, we are dead in our trespasses and sins and cannot communicate with God as such. I believe the whole passage hinges on the last part of verse 17, from faith unto faith. The righteousness of God is revealed from faith unto faith. When anyone, even someone that has never heard the gospel, acknowledges that this world and himself did not just happen, but there must be a God or supreme being that controls it all, that is the first step of faith. And I believe God obligates Himself to that person to give him more revealtion, leading eventually to the gospel of Jesus Christ. God may use a missionary, a book, a tract, radio, who knows, because God is not limited in His power nor creativity. But I believe that God does obligate Himself to that person that takes that first step of faith. The problem comes in verse 21, many choose not to believe what they see. They ascribed the world to false god's, to some big bang or evolution, or something of their own vain imagination. When they knew God, had that first knowledge of Him that comes from what God has revealed to them, they did not worship Him as God, and therefore they damn themselves. On the other hand, I believe it is our part to make sure they hear. As Paul says, we debtors, verse 14, we must tell them. This is my understanding of this passage and how the gospel works, even in places where they have not heard. I just wanted your thoughts on this. wdc |

19 | On What Should the Sinner Focus? | Rom 1:16 | wdc | 103371 | ||
Hank, A sinner should focus on nothing but the cross of Jesus Christ. That is the only thing that can save him and take away his sin and guilt. Paul said in Rom. 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes:..." There is no mention of anything else, the gospel tells us that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and the only way to be saved is to come to Him in repentance and faith. There is no mention of water. We are baptized out of obedience to Him because we are saved. Everything the sinner finds in salvation is wrapped up in what Jesus did on the cross. The power to overcome sin comes through the cross, not water, Col. 2:13-15 "And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses; blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross; and having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it." Everything we have comes by the cross. I could go on and on, but you get the point. wdc |

20 | what good is it to Ahaz | Is 7:14 | wdc | 102865 | ||
I agree with the virgin birth translation. But if it is only a prophecy of the virgin of birth of Jesus, (and it is a prophecy of the virgin birth of Jesus) what good is it for a sign to Ahaz? wdc |
