101 | Why Were They Shut Out? | Matt 25:12 | Norrie | 11079 | ||
I've heard that the story of the 10 Virgins corrolates to the rapture, some are going and some are not. It's up to each individual to be ready, I can't be ready for you and vice versa, it's something you have to do on your own. The part about why didn't they share, it reminded me of the ant and grasshopper story. Why should someone who does what's right have to share with someone who doesn't care, would rather do their own thing, then when times comes, try to mooch off the one who worked for what they got? Isn't there even a scripture about he who doesn't work, doesn't eat? |

102 | spirit/soul | John 1:14 | Norrie | 11078 | ||
OK, I'm not an expert, going on what I've had taught here. Sometimes soul and spirit are used interchangeably but sometimes they are not. Your spirit is your inner you that lives on forever, it is what has to get reborn. Your soul is your mind, will and emotions, it is what has to be retrained or brought under submission. Romans 12 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. This refers to your mind or the soulish realm, it is where you think and feel at. Your spirit gets reborn but your soul does not. If you think a certain way, you have to work or train yourself to think different, you bring it into submission-understand? There are many scriptures that they are used interchangeably, but many that are separate, I don't know the original language words so someone who does will have to do a research there but a few passages where they are used separately are: 1 Thessalonians 5:23 1 Thessalonians 5 1 Thessalonians 5:22-24 Blessing and Admonition Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hebrews 4:12 Hebrews 4 Hebrews 4:11-13 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. |

104 | and the word was God | John 1:14 | Norrie | 10846 | ||
This is a great explanation of the Trinity of God. Another is water, water can be liquid, solid or vapor but it's still water. I hope you can understand this. There is one God, a trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Heart of God is the Father; the face of the Father is unveiled by the Son; the Voice of God is heard thru the Holy Spirit;--- the Hand of God is laid open through the Church. You can maybe better understand the concept of trinity is if you can understand that you are a trinity. You are a spirit, you have a soul (mind, will and emotions) and you live in a body. It's your spirit that gets reborn when you accept Jesus but you still live in the same body and think the same. Accd to Rom 12:2 we renew our minds to line up w/the spirit. We have to bring our flesh into subjection too, then we have our soul wanting to go one way and our spirit another. I hope I'm not confusing you, but it's our spirits that live forever, either w/God or w/o Him. |

105 | Can an offering be money? | Mal 3:8 | Norrie | 10842 | ||
You are right, an offering is anything over and above a tithe. Now we just about have to do money offerings. Back in Biblical days, they all tilled the land and such, we mostly live in cities and money is the fruits of our labor. :) | ||||||
106 | Was it wrong to send Hagar away? | Gen 21:14 | Norrie | 10483 | ||
What was wrong to begin with was Sarah telling Hagar to become her substitute which is what they did in those days. So when Hagar, the maid, had a baby by Abraham, she started lording it over Sarah, her mistress, and this nat caused problems. This was def a case of 2 women not being able to share the same house. From what I read, it was the bread and water that was on her shoulder, Ishmael was prob about 14 or 15 so he should have carried it for his mama. :) Gen 17:25 said that when Abraham was 99, Ishmael was 13, this was a few yrs later. Anyway, Abraham did talk this over with God first before he kicked her out and God said yes and blessed Hagar and Ishmael anyway. So I'd say yes, Abraham was justified in his actions. |

107 | tender of sycamore tree | Amos 7:14 | Norrie | 10479 | ||
We just finished studying Amos in Sunday School. In Amos 7:1-9 Amos witnessed 3 visions of judgment against Israel-locusts, fire and plumb line. He cried out for intercession and twice the Lord Spared the people. By the third vision, Amos learned that the people would not change and therefore would be judged by God. There is a conflict between Amaziah who is a priest at Bethel in Amos 7:10-17. Amaziah accused Amos of conspiracy against the king but did not address the problem of the spiritual corruption. The priest was more loyal to the king than God, in fact, he was an appointed priest, not even a Levite. What was going on was that Jeroboam was the Northern King but God said to worship in Jerusalem and gave them the instructions on how to worship properly. Uzziah was the king in Jerusalem so nat Jeroboam didn't want his people going there so they set up worship places in Bethel and other places that more or less worshipped God the way the pagans worshipped, even had temple prostitutes, they were def. not worshipping God as He commanded. Anyway, they didn't like what Amos was saying and ordered him to go. They didn't care what God wanted, only what they wanted. But they thought that Amos was a professional prophet, they seem to have had them at the time, seems there was even a prophet school or a prophetic order, nat these guys would only prophesy what was popular, maybe kinda like the psychics today, anyway, Amos didn't want to be associated with them. The only reason Amos was prophesying was God said to and it made him very unpopular, otherwise, he was just a poor farmer, scratching a living. That's what Amos meant when he said he was not a prophet or a prophet's son, but he was a herdsman and a gather of sycamore fruit. Amos was basically a poor intenerant farmer who followed the sycamore harvest, tended sheep, he was just basically a nobody that God used. Amas did not let them intimidate him, he kept on preaching what God said to preach. |

108 | Do humans become angels? | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 10215 | ||
No! This is a myth, propagated by cartoons and old wives tales. We are a spirit being, we have a soul (will, mind and emotions) and live in a body. One day our body will die but our spirit never dies, it is our spirit that will go on to either heaven or hell. One day we will get glorified bodies but never will we become angels. | ||||||
109 | Babies and young children a distraction? | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 10157 | ||
I think they are a distraction. Our church encourages people to use the extended sessions for kids from birth thru 4, then they can come to church. My 9 yr old is a distraction. :) | ||||||
110 | Was Abraham a Muslim? | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 10140 | ||
Seeing as how Christian came into being after Jesus was crucified and the Muslims were several hundred years later and the Jews were actually the decendants of Israel or Jacob, I would say that Abraham basically had no religion as such, he just had a personal relationship with God. He is called the father of many nations, which the Jews did decend thru Issac and the Arabs did decend thru Ishmael, then he had several other sons thru Katurah too. But God make a covenant with Abraham and it was passed down thru Issac, then Jacob, etc, which is the House of Israel so Israel was God's Covenant people. Abraham worshipped the One True God. This not being able to make and symbols is driving me crazy!!! :) |

111 | WILL WE HAVE BODIES? | Bible general Archive 1 | Norrie | 10106 | ||
I believe that until we get our glorified bodies, we will be spirit beings but as to how spirit beings actually look, I guess we'll find out when we get there. I doubt you can see thru another like they portray ghosts but, until I'm there, I won't know. | ||||||

113 | How long were years of Noah's life? | OT general | Norrie | 10022 | ||
Periods of time are still the same, 24 hrs in a day, etc. The reason supposedly people lived longer was that before the flood there was a different, I'm not a scholar but I've heard them talk about it, something to do with oxygen content? Dr. Carl Baugh had a theory about the canopy over the earth when it was made, there were perfect conditions, people were made perfect then, remember there was no rain until the flood? Before then the earth was in perfect harmony, but after the flood was when the canopy broke, the fountains of the deep were released, the earth was tilted on it's axis and things were never the same since. Notice, after the flood, people didn't live as long. There are several creation science sites that you can find information about this. | ||||||
114 | Did God want us to have borders? | OT general | Norrie | 10018 | ||
Even when they went to the promised land, each tribe had their own section and the people in that tribe had their own section so I say yes, borders are fine with God. | ||||||
