101 | Musical instruments in Worship? | Psalm | retxar | 20300 | ||
Does the NT mention Sunday School? How about Wednesday night prayer meeting? How about special father's and mother's day services? How about pastors appreciation day? How about the sinners prayer? How about vacation bible school? What about study bibles? How about study bible forums? etc, etc, etc. The prohibting of musical instruments to Praise the Lord is an unfounded belief. Jesus said even the rocks could praise Him! (Luk 19:40). Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! (Psa 150:6) Praise the LORD!!!, retxar |

102 | What is the account we will give? | Rom 14:12 | retxar | 20293 | ||
All Christians must stand before the judgment seat of Christ (Rom_14:10, 2Co_5:10). Salvation is grace thru faith, apart from works (Eph_2:8-9). However, we may receive a greater or less reward, according to our works for Christ. Our reward will be according to what we have done and also the intent of our heart (2Co_5:10). That is the meaning of us giving an account of ourselves to God here in Rom_14:12. Paul was addressing the problem of us standing in judgement of others. When we are standing before the judgement seat of Christ, we will not give an account for others, and others will not give an account of us. Heb_6:10 says "For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister." Remember, the purpose of us standing before the judgment seat of Christ is so God can REWARD us, not judge us. Jesus Saves, retxar |

105 | Does it take away sins or not? | Lev 16:34 | retxar | 19807 | ||
The Old Covenant was only valid because it was a shadow of the New Covenant. (Joh1:17, Col2:17 Heb8:5, Heb9:9, Heb10:1) When the substance of the Old Covenant was revealed, (which is Jesus Col2:17), the shadow was no longer needed. Example: A 20 dollar bill is only worth 20 dollars because of the gold it represents. If the government distributed the gold as a replacement for the paper, the requirement of anyone redeeming my piece of paper that had “20 dollars” printed on it would no longer be valid. The shadow would have been fulfilled because the real thing (the gold) would have been revealed. Even tho the old 20 dollar bill still had “legal tender” printed on it, it would no longer be valid, because the real thing would have replaced it. Jesus Saves!, retxar |

106 | Mark 1:6 ? | 2 Kin 1:8 | retxar | 19674 | ||
There’s nothing mysterious about Mar 1:6. It’s just a description of what John wore and what he ate. The way John lived was just a reflection of a man that preached Jesus, and not himself. John the Baptist and Elijah had the same appearance, personality, characteristics, and message. 2Ki 1:8 So they answered him, "A hairy man wearing a leather belt around his waist." And he said, "It is Elijah the Tishbite." Both Elijah and John boldly called the Jews to repentance. They were God pleasers, not man pleasers. Preach Jesus! retxar |

107 | Does Mark 7:19 contradict Acts 15:29? | Mark 7:19 | retxar | 19155 | ||
No contradiction exist at all between Mark 7:19 and Acts 15:29. In Mark Jesus said it’s not what goes into ones mouth that defiles them, but what comes out of one’s mouth that defiles because that is where all evil originates and the thing coming out of ones mouth is a reflection of what is in their heart. The scripture in Acts simple says for the Gentile believers to abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. The instructions to the Gentile believers in Acts has nothing to with themselves being defiled, but rather assured harmony between the new Gentile believers who lived and worshiped with new Jewish believers. The letter sent to the Gentiles in Acts 15:23-29 was a result of the meeting of the apostles and elders in Jerusalem to address the problem the believing Pharisees were causing by demanding that the Gentiles be bound by Mosaic Law (Acts 15:5-6). The four things the apostles decided would be a good idea for the Gentiles to observe had nothing to do with their own defilement, as Jesus was addressing in Mark7:19, but was simple to protect the Gentile believers witness among their Jewish neighbors. The letter sent to the Gentiles said they would “do well” (commanded?) if they abstained from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled and from sexual immorality. Three of these were addressing the eating habits of Gentile Christians. The Gentiles were not bound to the ceremonial Levitical Law (1Co 8:8), but they were not to use their liberty to be a stumbling block to there Jewish neighbors either (1Co 8:9). If they abused their liberty they would be sinning against their brethren, and thus, would be sinning against Jesus (1Co 8:12). I think the instruction for the Gentile Christians to abstain from sexual immorality here does not mean the common acts of fornication, as this was recognized as wrong by all Christians. This was instructions for the Gentiles to observe certain marriage regulations spelled out in the Levitical Law which prohibited marriages between relatives. This was something most Gentiles of that time thought little of. The Gentile believers here were simply asked to give up some of their "rights" as a display of their love for their Jewish brethren. Read 1Co 8, that will help put this in perspective. I hope this helps, and doesn’t seem like too much “smoke and mirrors”, but the straight forward answer you were looking for. Later Bro!

108 | Rebaptism Okay? | NT general Archive 1 | retxar | 18868 | ||
I know of no Scripture that would prohibit re-baptism. Paul re-baptized the 12 disciples at Ephesus in Acts 19. These disciples probably came to believe under the teaching of Apollos when he came to Ephesus (Act 18:24). Contrary to the belief of some, they were, from all indications, Christians when they were baptized the first time. I know of no Scripture where non-believers were ever referred to as “disciples”. Paul re-baptized these believers because they had a fuller meaning of who Jesus was. We don’t know if they were re-baptized at their request, or Paul’s encouragement, just that it happened and it was OK. Maybe your friend has similar circumstances? Personally, I would encourage your friend to seek Gods guidance, and if she feels she needs to be re-baptized, I would support her decision to do so. God Bless, retxar |

109 | When was Saul of Tarsus saved? | Heb 9:22 | retxar | 18199 | ||
Act 9:4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?" Act 9:5 And he said, "Who are You, Lord?" Then the Lord said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads." Act 9:6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, "Lord, what do You want me to do?" Then the Lord said to him, "Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." (NKJV) Jesus confronts Saul. Saul perceives God’s presence. Jesus identifies Himself. Saul confess Jesus as Lord and thus confession in made unto salvation at that moment and Saul is saved (Romans 10:9-10). Jesus Saves!!, retxar PS. I know my analyses here only works with the NKJV scripture I have quoted. I know it won’t work using the NASB. However, the NKJV has the correct reading here for Acts 9:5-6 based on Paul’s testimony in Acts 22:10 and Acts 26:14. |

110 | What is the difference bet Hades Hell? | Rev 20:13 | retxar | 17832 | ||
Rev 20:14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. The “lake of fire” is Hell, so we can see here that Hades is not the same thing as Hell. However, they are not that much different. Think of Hades as the local jail where its residents stay until judgment comes to pass, waiting to be sentenced to Hell, which, in contrast, would be the State Penitentiary. retxar |

111 | The Restrainer - Revisited! | 2 Thess 2:7 | retxar | 17530 | ||
I agree that the restrainer is the Holy Spirit or the Church. I lean very much toward the church because vs7 says "taken out of the way" not "gets out of the way". The church would have to be "taken out of the way", but the Holy Spirit would need no help. Also, the Holy Spirit cannot remove His presense from the Earth as some have said, because: 1. He is omnipresent 2. There will be a great work of the Holy Spirit done on earth after the a-christ is revealed. However, "taken out of the way", does not have to mean the Holy Spirit's presence would be removed from Earth, just that His restraining power upon the a-christ would be lifted. Anyway, I'm staying with my first answer (c). Good teaching, bro retxar |

113 | How did the sins of adam and eve differ? | 1 Tim 2:14 | retxar | 17011 | ||
1Ti 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. Eve was deceived, Adam was not. Adam was not deceived because he KNEW what he was doing! Therefore, we received the curse of sin thru Adam, not Eve (Rom 5:12). Because of the headship that God set up from the beginning, God confronted Adam in the garden (Gen 3:9) and ultimately held him responsible for both his sin and Eve's. retxar |

115 | what is the oil in the lamps mean? | Ex 27:21 | retxar | 16452 | ||
The lamps were symbolic of God's people; the church. Example of lamps being the church: Mat 5:14 You are the light of the world. Rev 1:20 ....the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches. Oil is symbolic of the Holy Spirit. The lamps were the only light in the tabernacle and were to be trimmed and filled daily with special prepared oil. God’s people are the light in the world and we are to be constantly trimmed and re-filled with the Holy Spirit. In Zechariah chapter 4, Zechariah had a vision about the lampstands in the temple he had been commissioned to rebuild. He saw lampstands that had a never ending supply of oil. Zec 4:6 says “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” Says the LORD. Might and power here are referring to our own mental, physical, and materialistic capabilities. God is saying any work for Him will only be accomplished by the Spirit of God working through His people. Jesus Lives, retxar |

116 | So what is God's vs. Adam's image? | Gen 5:3 | retxar | 16249 | ||
Please consider how these verses speak of all people being created in the image of God. Gen. 9:6 "Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed; For in the image of God He made man. 1Co 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God Col 3:10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him Jam 3:9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Thanks, retxar |

118 | Relationship between "faith" and "fear"? | 1 Thess 3:5 | retxar | 16071 | ||
Faith and fear requires us to do the same thing. We must react now to a future we cannot see. We chose to react to fear or act on faith. We chose to walk in the fear of the flesh, or walk in the faith of the Spirit. When we are really under attack from the enemy, our flesh wants to draw back in fear but the Spirit wants us to reach out in faith. Jesus Lives! retxar |
