101 | Time limit of adultery in marriage | Bible general | DocTrinsograce | 242256 | ||
Hi, Rod... Welcome to the forum! I always try to teach my children the distinction between the words may, can, or ought. Obviously, in answer to your question "can she" we would say, "Yes." If the question were "may she" we would also say "Yes." If the question were "ought she" we would have to hesitate giving an answer. Both this man and woman should be under the counsel of godly elders, pastors, or priests. In our forum we cannot know all the particulars associated with these people. (Furthermore, our host, the Lockman foundation, wisely prefers that we not offer advice (see the Terms of Use).) These people's church elders will know them and will be able to offer sound counsel.

104 | Reverential Fear of God | Is 26:10 | DocTrinsograce | 242217 | ||
Hi, Olga... Fear has a number of meanings. When we use the adjective reverential we are drawing attention to God's holiness, authority, nature, and character. As creatures we are dependent on Him as our creator and our continued existence (Acts 17:28); He is the judge of our character (Jeremiah 17:10); the standard of righteousness (1 Peter 1:15); our provider (Philippians 4:19); the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2); etc. God is sovereign over the entire universe (Psalm 103:19; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11). God is sovereign over all of nature (Psalm 135:6-7; Matthew 5:45; 6:25-30). God is sovereign over the angels, including Satan (Psalm 103:20-21; Job 1:12). God is sovereign over nations (Psalm 47:7-9; Daniel 2:20-21; 4:34-35). God is sovereign over human beings (1 Samuel 2:6-7; Galatians 1:15-16). God is sovereign over animals (Psalm 104:21-30; 1 Kings 17:4-6). God is sovereign over "accidents" (Proverbs 16:33; John 1:7; Matthew 10:29). God is sovereign over the free acts of men (Exodus 3:21; 12:25-36; Ezekiel 7:27). God is sovereign even over the sinful acts of men and Satan (2 Samuel 24:1; 1 Chronicles 21:1; Genesis 45:5; 50:20). He is all these things and more; and here we are, accountable to Him (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14; Romans 14:12)! If just these few things do not cause us to feel awe, fear, and reverence, then I think we do not rightly understand what God has revealed to us about Himself. In Him, Doc |

106 | How do they pertain to the Church? | Bible general | DocTrinsograce | 242203 | ||
Hi, LFish... I assume that this question is connected to your inquiry that I answered in post #242201. The church is "The community of believers for all time." It is one of the means by which God sanctifies His people, cleansing and washing them in the Word, all for the ultimate purpose of bringing Him glory (cf Ephesians 5:26-27). The mission of the church -- by the authority of Christ and through the gospel -- is to go and make disciples, baptizing them, and teaching them to observe all that God has commanded (Matthew 28:18-20). These disciples must be taught the Holy Scriptures, "the only sufficient, certain, and infallible rule of all saving knowledge, faith, and obedience." Evidences of the redeemed will be a growing love of the Lord, of the brethren (God's chosen ones), and of His Word. Relative to your question: the church must teach, lead, and discipline the congregants in the proper doctrinal balance between living a holy life and exercising Christian liberty. Legalism and libertinism can be thought of as two ditches to the right and left of a road. Falling into either ditch can be a serious problem. The church, through the power of the Holy Spirit, preaching/teaching of the Word, and use of the sacraments helps the believer to avoid these extremes. I hope these few (though quick) thoughts will be helpful. In Him, Doc |

107 | What is legalism and license? | Bible general | DocTrinsograce | 242201 | ||
Hi, LFish... Legalism is a belief that God's favor can be earned by following a particular code of conduct. It teaches that things like salvation are achieved through meritorious behavior. The opposite of legalism is antinomianism or libertinism. This is the belief that Christians are under no obligation to obey laws of ethics or morality. Very few legalists or antinomians use these terms as being applicable to themselves. Rather, what you will generally hear is their use by one group in opposition to another. However, since both of these extremes are erroneous interpretations of Biblical doctrine, they may be useful and highly usable to us. In Him, Doc |

110 | What does "sided with His party" mean? | Luke 5:11 | DocTrinsograce | 242190 | ||
Hi, Norma... Welcome to the forum! Frances Seiwert intended with this phrase to express the idea that the disciples leaving their secular activities, were actively joining Jesus' group of students. In those days -- much different than what is done today -- people who were dedicated to learning from a particular teacher, would follow him from place to place listening to his teaching.

Hi, Carol... Welcome to the forum! How about Joshua 10:17-18? :-) Actually, the Bible does not explicitly address this question. Any of us would be speculating if we gave an answer. Speculating is a dangerous thing (Deuteronomy 4:2; Revelation 22:18-19). In Him, Doc |

113 | Any other brothers mentioned | NT general | DocTrinsograce | 242170 | ||
Hi, Sascoma... Welcome to the forum! Although you do not explicitly say so, I am assuming you are asking about the brothers of Jesus. Most often people will list James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas as His brothers (Matthew 13:55). From the following verse (v56) we know that He had sisters, too, but they are not named. In Him, Doc |

114 | do you have to name each sin? | 1 John 1:9 | DocTrinsograce | 242168 | ||
Hi, river... Welcome to the forum! Every sin must be forgiven (Romans 6:23) by God through Christ, but not every sin must be confessed to God. When we just confess the sins of which we are aware, that will take us plenty of time. However, there are many sins for which our dull consciences and Biblically ignorant minds fail to recognize. Often we are left, therefore, only with blanket prayer requests: ones in which we ask God to forgive our many sins and search us to make us aware of sin. (See Psalm 139:23). In Him, Doc |

115 | why does foul language me sick? | Ps 139:21 | DocTrinsograce | 242165 | ||
Hi, casamaia... Welcome to the forum! The more we come to know God, the more aware we become of His honor, worthiness, perfection, and purity. Furthermore, the more we become sensitive to sin. We all believe that treason is wrong. Nonetheless, we understand that the more righteous the ruler the more heinous is our treason. If we understand that about worldly nations, we can apply it to the heavenly kingdom. God is infinitely righteous and worth, therefore sin is infinitely heinous. The more we know Him through His Word, the more sensitive we become about things that demean His authority or steal from His glory. In Him, Doc |

Hi, Zoem... Welcome to the forum! I'm uncertain if you are asking for a definition or a description. I cited the above verse (2 Samuel 22:3-4), however there are many passages that we could easily use. Many of the Psalms speak of God's providential care for His own. See, for example, Psalm 91.
