101 | races origin? | Genesis | Shelly | 74476 | ||
Where did the human races come from? see: http://www.christiananswers.net/q-aig/race-definition.html The Bible tells us how the population that descended from Noah's family had one language and by living in one place were disobeying God's command to "fill the earth" (Genesis 9:1, 11:4). God confused their language, causing a break-up of the population into smaller groups which scattered over the earth (Genesis 11:8-9). Modern genetics show how, following such a break-up of a population, variations in skin color, for example, can develop in only a few generations. There is good evidence that the various people groups we have today have not been separated for huge periods of time. |

102 | Does God really have a plan for my life | Prov 16:3 | Shelly | 74053 | ||
Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:9 In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD'S purpose that prevails. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (NIV notes: Jer 29:11 We're all encouraged by a leader who stirs us to move ahead, someone who believes we can do the task he has given and who will be with us all the way. God is that kind of leader. He knows the future, and his plans for us are good and full of hope. As long as God, who knows the future, provides our agenda and goes with us as we fulfill his mission, we can have boundless hope. This does not mean that we will be spared pain, suffering, or hardship, but that God will see us through to a glorious conclusion.) |

103 | Answer or not? Proverbs 26:4,5 | Prov 26:4 | Shelly | 73483 | ||
The NIV Bible study notes says: Prov 26:4, 5 These two verses seem to be in contradiction. But the writer is saying that we shouldn't take a foolish person seriously and try to reason with his or her empty arguments. This will only make him or her proud and determined to win the argument. In some situations, you ought not to even try to answer a fool, for there is no way you can penetrate his or her closed mind. You may, in fact, be stooping to that person's level if you do choose to answer. Such a fool will abuse you and you will be tempted to abuse him or her in return. There are other situations where your common sense tells you to answer in order to expose the fool's pride and folly. |

106 | Why so many destined for Hell? | 1 Pet 2:8 | Shelly | 70296 | ||
God created us hoping that we would spend eternity with Him in Heaven, but He gave us that choice to make. If we believe and confess in Him, then we will be saved. If we don't, we go to hell. Luke 13:5 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish." John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 10:9-10 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. If you don't know whether you are saved or not, then I suggest you get to a good Bible-believing Church. If you are saved, you WILL go to Heaven and you will not have "to accept that we may have to suffer forever". |

I thought there were several different cultures in the Bible, and the women who had long hair were the women in Corinth - not women everywhere. | ||||||

109 | What does adoption mean this verse | Eph 1:5 | Shelly | 69310 | ||
NIV Bible study notes say: Eph 1:5 "Predestined" means marked out beforehand. This is another way of saying that salvation is God's work and not our own doing. In his infinite love, God has adopted us as his own children. Through Jesus' sacrifice, he has brought us into his family and made us heirs along with Jesus (Romans 8:17). In Roman law, adopted children had the same rights and privileges as biological children, even if they had been slaves. Paul uses this term to show how strong our relationship to God is. Have you entered into this loving relationship with God? For more on the meaning of adoption, see Galatians 4:5-7. |

110 | Are christians sinners or not? | Rom 3:23 | Shelly | 69156 | ||
Yes, we are sinners - no one is perfect. Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 1 John 1:10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives. |

111 | bible reference please | Is 61:1 | Shelly | 65848 | ||
NIV Bible study notes: Isaiah 61:1, 2 Jesus quoted these words in Luke 4:18, 19. As he read to the people in the synagogue, he stopped in the middle of 61:2 after the words, "to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor." Rolling up the scroll, he said, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing" (Luke 4:21). The next phrase in 61:2, "and the day of vengeance of our God," will come true when Jesus returns to earth again. We are now under God's favor; his wrath is yet to come. |

113 | when is someone saved? | Rom 10:9 | Shelly | 58801 | ||
It is not with just believing - the devil 'believes in' Jesus, but certainly does not follow him. Romans 10:9-10 "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." |

116 | Explain this verse please? | Ps 23:5 | Shelly | 57639 | ||
NIV Study Bible notes: Ps 23:5-6 In ancient Near Eastern culture, at a banquet it was customary to anoint a person with fragrant oil as a lotion. Hosts were also expected to protect their guests at all costs. God offers the protection of a host even when enemies surround us. In the final scene of this psalm, we see that believers will dwell with God. God, the perfect shepherd and host, promises to guide and protect us through life to bring us into his house forever. |

117 | Who were Cain's enemies? | Gen 4:14 | Shelly | 56424 | ||
In Gen 4:14 We have heard about only four people so far--Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel. Two questions arise: Why was Cain worried about being killed by others, and where did he get his wife (see Genesis 4:17)? Adam and Eve had numerous children; they had been told to "fill the earth" (Genesis 1:28). Cain's guilt and fear over killing his brother were heavy, and he probably feared repercussions from his family. If he was capable of killing, so were they. The wife Cain chose may have been one of his sisters or a niece. The human race was still genetically pure, and there was no fear of side effects from marrying relatives. |

118 | What is the "Key of David"? | Rev 3:7 | Shelly | 54572 | ||
My NIV Study Bible notes says: REV 3:7 The key of David represents Christ's authority to open the door of invitation into his future kingdom. After the door is opened, no one can close it--salvation is assured. Once it is closed, no one can open it--judgment is certain. |
||||||
119 | Saved by Grace | Rom 10:9 | Shelly | 53784 | ||
No. Satan knows that God became flseh, dies and rose again, bt that does not make him saved. Romans 10:9-10 says: That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. |

120 | 1,000 year period is a millenium . | Rev 20:2 | Shelly | 53780 | ||
This is from my NIV Bible study notes: Rev 20:2-4 The 1,000 years are often referred to as the 'Millennium' (Latin for '1,000'). Just how and when this 1,000 years takes place is understood differently among Christian scholars. The three major positions on this issue are called postmillennialism, premillennialism, and amillennialism. (1) 'Postmillennialism' looks for a literal 1,000-year period of peace on earth ushered in by the church. At the end of the 1,000 years, Satan will be unleashed once more, but then Christ will return to defeat him and reign forever. Christ's second coming will not occur until after the 1,000-year period. (2) 'Premillennialism' also views the 1,000 years as a literal time period, but holds that Christ's second coming initiates his 1,000-year reign and that this reign occurs before the final removal of Satan. (3) 'Amillennialism' understands the 1,000-year period to be symbolic of the time between Christ's ascension and his return. This Millennium is the reign of Christ in the hearts of believers and in his church; thus it is another way of referring to the church age. This period will end with the second coming of Christ. These different views about the Millennium need not cause division and controversy in the church, because each view acknowledges what is most crucial to Christianity--Christ will return, defeat Satan, and reign forever! Whatever and whenever the Millennium is, Jesus Christ will unite all believers; therefore, we should not let this issue divide us. |
