102 | Record of the Amalekites? | OT general | itiswritten | 30081 | ||
Dear prayon, In 2 Samuel 8:11-12 we have "Which also king David did dedicate unto the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued; of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek [which is the Amalekites], and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zeboh."

104 | Is old testament of KJV same as Jewish | OT general | itiswritten | 75916 | ||
Dear Madhu: As far as I can tell the scriptures are the same. They are not in exactly the same order that is all. The reason I know this is that someone recently came to my Bible-study and her husband is Jewish. She brought in his Bible for us to see. They have all the same Old Testament Books but they list them in a different order than we do - that is all. Of course in the time of Christ, they were not all together. They were on scrolls One scroll had the Psalms, another one or another of the Prophets, another had the Torah which is the Law or first five books of the Bible which traditionally is believed to have been written down by Moses [Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Numbers Leviticus]. When the Dead Sea Scrolls were found it was very encouraging as these dated to the time of Christ and they had parts of many of the books of the Bible and they have the whole book of Isaiah and it is the same as what we have today. So, it would seem that it is the same. Itiswritten |

105 | Is old testament of KJV same as Jewish | OT general | itiswritten | 77376 | ||
Dear Madhu, I had the privilege of examining a Jewish Bible written in English and though it was not in the Old English as the KJV is, it seemed to be the same with the same books as we have in the King James Version but in a different order. This was a few years ago when one of the persons in our Bible study who was married to a Jewish person, brought the Bible in for us to see. Itiswritten |

Dear mekia, I know it has been a while since you posted your question but since I see no answer, I thought I might try to be useful. Two people that left this life and went into the next without dying are Enoch, found in Genesis 5: 22-24 and Elijah found in II Kings 2:10-12. Itiswritten |

109 | Why do Catholics light candles? | OT general | itiswritten | 81081 | ||
As a former Catholic I would like to add that, yes these votives are a symbol of a prayer but that also the person who offered up the prayer also feels that the prayer continues to come before God as long as the candle continues to burn...this is just a traditional religious view on the subject; by no means is it biblical teaching. Itiswritten. | ||||||
110 | who father was named Lamech | OT general | itiswritten | 81083 | ||
Dear Ladyappleman, In Genesis 4:19-22 we see a Lamech who married two women. One of his wives was Adah who gave birth to Jabal, the father of those who dwell in tents and have cattle, and Jubal, the father of those who handle the harp and the organ. His second wife was Zillah who gave birth to Tubalcain who was the father of every artificer of brass and iron and also had a sister named Naamah. Then, when we look at Genesis 5:29 we see another Lamech who was the father of Noah. They seem to be two different men. I hope this is of some help. Itiswritten |

113 | Rebaptism Okay? | NT general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 30436 | ||
DearJMR, I believe we should do as the Holy Spirit leads us to do. I was born, baptized as an infant and raised in the Roman Catholic Church. I got saved at about the age of 28 while reading my Bible one night. As I began learning and walking with the Lord and grew in faith, I began to believe that a person should be baptized as an adult, or at least when one is old enough to believe and acknowledge one's own faith...I felt that is what Holy Spirit wanted me to do for many personal reasons. I also no longer attended a church which baptized infants...not that they in any way had pressured me to re-do my baptism. It was a purely personal decision as I felt led by the Holy Spirit. I would not say that infant baptism is not valid, but I think it is really not the best way as it implies that it is a ritual which saves us, and only the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ crucified and our belief in Him, his death and resurrection, saves us; also, as an infant one cannot give one's consent. In that case, it is a more perfect baptism and so I did it again. That does not mean that everyone has to do this...only if you feel convicted by the Holy Spirit to do so. In Acts 19: 3-5, some persons that had received the baptism of repentence under the ministry of John the Baptist, were baptized again because the first time they didn't even know about Jesus, that He had come, nor did they know Who or anything about the Holy Spirit. They were baptized again in the name of the Lord Jesus. I felt it was sort of in line with this passage. Itiswritten |

114 | Why is the NT translated from greek? | NT general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 30442 | ||
Dear Minco, I believe the New Testament was written mostly, if not all in Greek. Alexander the Great first conquered the area of the world which was all around the Mediterranean Sea. He enforced his language and his culture in all the areas he conquered and died at a young age. Shortly thereafter, the Romans took over pretty much the same area. They kept the Greek language as the legal language of the land. Their policy was that each nation they conquered was allowed to continue in their language and many of their customs, but any legal transactions must be done in Greek. So, everyone knew this language. The Romans also were fantastic road builders which also united the empire. Because of these two things, it paved the way to easily speak to people everywhere in the empire. Since everyone [mostly]understood the Greek language, it made sense to write it down in a language almost everyone could understand. Since the Word of God is not the theology of churches, it is purely the untarnished Word, it is not tainted by pagan beliefs...it was given precisely as the Holy Spirit led the writers to write it...and He knows all languages. As far as Roman Catholics are concerned. The Roman Catholic Church is not a cult. It is a true Christian Church. It has many traditions which were passed down from the very early times of the church before the time when it went astray and added doctrines which most of the rest of Christianity cannot and will not abide. However, though I no longer attend that Church, I got saved while I was a Roman Catholic, in my livingroom, in the middle of the night, not knowing that there was any such thing, not knowing what born-again meant [if someone had said that to me at the time, I would have thought it was a Christian denomination], knowing nothing...but I was reading and studying MY ROMAN CATHOLIC BIBLE which is a good translation believe it or not... Jesus showed me the way because He is the way. I have walked with the Lord for 24 years now. Never stopped believing in Him. Growing in the Lord through good times and bad, and He has been true, and wonderful to me all these years. Up until about 70 years ago, Catholics were not allowed to read the Scriptures. When they finally were allowed to, they were given the impression that they should not read it without the church to tell them what it all meant. This is because the church was afraid that they would find that many of the church doctrines are not valid [such as what they teach about Mary] and because the Protestant Reformation came about when Catholics had disagreements with them. That is what I believe anyway. In any case, many, many Roman Catholic people are very sincere about their faith and God is calling them out...many many of them. The Lord gave me a ministry to teach women the Word of God. Most of the people that come to these studies are from the Roman Catholic Church. Most of them eventually leave but I do not bring up the problems. I only teach the Word, straight. I answer questions straight out and He calls them out...most of them, eventually. Those who remain, he often uses to teach others within the Roman Catholic Church. Another thing, there are some small pockets of Catholics within the Church who really do know the Lord and have good Leadership within the Church...the problem is that they are too few and far between. Meanwhile, pray for them. They do not need correction, they need revelation from the Lord and they will come out [John 6:44]. I hope this was helpful to you. Itiswritten |

115 | Is the request of Christ Granted? | NT general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 77827 | ||
I do not say that I know the judgment of God, but I do not agree that these said persons necessarily are forgiven. Not that it is up to me, nor do I say that this is not God's will. However, I do not think that Scripture backs up this opinion for their are scriptures that call Judas a "son of perdition," and the antichrist a "son of perdition." [John 17:12; 2 Thess. 2:3-4] I don't believe the latter will be saved just because his actions are predicted in Scripture. I believe God chooses such persons because He knows what is inside them and though they have a choice, He also knows what they will do with their choice. The Lord also speaks of pharaoh whose [Ex.in chapters 4,7,8,9,10,11 and 14] heart the scripture says God hardened and alternately pharaoh himself actually hardened. I believe these all tell us that God [who is outside of time constraints and knows the future as well as the past] knew what Pharaoh would do and picked him knowing that although he would have a choice to do otherwise, he would nevertheless fulfill God's purposes in his evil ways though he could have manifested God by good. I hope I have been able to clearly state my view for the descression of all participants involved. If any of these came to repentance before they drew their last breath, I believe the cross of Christ is great enough for their forgiveness...but as far as we can tell from what the Scriptures give us, this was not the case so I believe that they probably did not come to him for forgiveness. I believe that is necessary for salvation. Itiswritten. |

116 | Identifying the born again moment | NT general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 77833 | ||
Dear Dalprad, I think it is helpful for a person to know the time they actually made a committment to Christ and began to walk in their new life. The devil likes to accuse you of things from ones former life etc. Knowing "old things have passed away, and all things have become new," is helpful at times of testing such as these.[2 Cor. 5:17] However, I don't think it is mandatory. As for myself, I met the Lord after I made up my mind to walk with the Lord for the rest of my life and Jesus, by His Holy Spirit manifested Himself to me and demonstrated my forgiveness and that I was all new before I knew what the term "born again" meant. I was gloriously converted from that moment [about 26 years ago]on and never forgot that moment in time...however, though it was magnificent, though it was magnificently transformational, I cannot remember whether it was summer or winter all I know it was the beginning of my walk with Christ the Son of the living God. The only reason I know how many years is because it occurred before I conceived my son and I date my conversion from about one year before he was born. Ha! It was much the same as when a child is born and as we grow, we cannot probably remember things from younger than about three years old unless they were terribly dramatic. Our awareness and our memory do not go back to infancy because the world is still not understood yet and our impressions are not building form in our minds just yet. But we are alive and we are growing even though our memories are a bit hazy to recall. The Lord has walked me through some incredible ups and downs since then. Getting back to the point, because of my own experience with the Lord, I don't think it is necessary. When Jesus and I had that encounter, He didn't tell me to date it and I think He would have if that were the case. However, I have had the privilege of leading a few people to the Lord since then and I often tell them to write down the date in their Bible, for example. I do this because I think it is helpful for them to remember for times of testing as I have stated above...and for looking back at what the Lord has brought them through since then. Itiswritten. |

117 | What exactly must a person to be saved? | NT general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 81087 | ||
Dear MPierce, I have not taken the time to read all of the correspondence that you have received from this question. Let me just say this. I was born and raised Roman Catholic. I went to Catholic schools all my young life, and got saved reading my Catholic Bible in my own living room while I was by myself when I was in my late twenties. I had a marvelous encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ that night and I have never been the same.I am now 55 years of age. One need not have an explosive encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved. One need only get the point and make a sincere committment. Romans 10: 9-11 is all that you need. I had come to that conclusion by the direction of the Holy Spirit and got saved even though I did not understand the modern terms such as "saved," "born again," etc. I no longer attend the Catholic church but the Lord has led me to teach a Bible study that has lasted more than 15 years. Mostly newly saved Catholics came in the early years - now Protestants some who were once Catholic as well as Protestants. The Lord has given me the privilege of leading many of those who have attended the study through the years to the Lord and I have been blessed to watch them grow in the Lord and attend several different churches - some even remaining in the Catholic Church. Let me say one more thing. Romans 10: 9-11 means this in a nut shell - You must be willing to admit openly that you believe Jesus rose from the dead and if you believe something you should begin to act like you believe it...and be willing to admit it to someone openly, publically... One must first of all be willing to admit that one is a sinner and needs a savior. That is why John the Baptist was sent first to prepare the people to realize their sinfulness and need of a Savior and then one must be determined with all the ability and grace God gives you to walk with Him as He teaches you from His word. My e-mail address is marymac84@hotmail.com if you think I can help you in your study of the Bible as I have a special affinity for those who were raised Roman Catholic as I have been and think I may be able to help you. One more thing. To be saved or born again is not a religion - it is a state of being. One must have a relationship with Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit; not belong to a denomination to be saved. God bless you, Itiswritten. |

118 | Searching for the truth | NT general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 81188 | ||
Dear FytRobert, In the time and culture of Christ, as He lived and walked among us in the flesh, everyone drank wine though it may have been frequently a very watered-down version. They did not have water-purification plants as we do and the water was not very pure and people did not get themselves intentionally drunk as they do in western culture today. And it was culturally much less an issue as fewer people drank excessively...certainly not to the extent as they do today. It is not a sin to drink wine in moderation, according to the word of God and it was even recommended in one situation. (ITimothy 5:23). Our culture has so abused drugs and alcohol that it has become common to use unfermented wine or grapejuice as a substitute rather than cause someone to sin or be tempted when he/she may not be able to handle and chemically digest it. This way many who would not have been able to partake of the communion table in both its solid and liquid form, now can. I hope this is helpful. Itiswritten |

119 | Differing geneologies of Jesus? | NT general Archive 1 | itiswritten | 81189 | ||
Dear Punahele, One genealogy is from his stepfather's side and one is from his mother's. One is from Adam and one is the Messianic line from Abraham. Both Jesus' earthly parents were from the line of David which was significant from whatever point of view you had. The Gospel writers were making different points - they are not conflicting. I hope this is helpful. Itiswritten |

120 | What was "language of the whole earth"? | Genesis | itiswritten | 29062 | ||
Whatever language was originally used does not matter. That the people were totally unified in their decision and their ability to communicate was the problem. Because we are a fallen race the first great thing they decided to do was disobey God who told them to spread out and possess the earth and who showed them that only blood covers sin and sacrifice gives access to God (later, the perfect sacrifice being Jesus, the Christ)was the problem.They decided to find their own way and access to heaven. 1] "a house divided against itself cannot stand" (Matt.12:25) implies much can be accomplished in unity, and 2] The Lord also tells us that there is only one narrow way to salvation, but many ways into the supernatural (Matt 7:14). We are told that Jesus is the ONLY WAY. At the tower of Babel through pride and their own way, they were trying to enter heaven. Number 1 lets us understand that if any group unifies in a project, whether spiritual or physical, much can be accomplished. Man, being a fallen race, was not going to be allowed to unify. In Christ, we are encouraged to unify (see John 14) that we can accomplish much, but apart from Christ, God allows our sinful nature to keep us from accomplishing unity for any long period of time. Look at history. Hitler, Stalin, emperors of Rome...eventually the unity breaks down because of greed, pride and other sorts of corruptions. |
