101 | What is WWJD ? | Rom 1:15 | Ken John | 109368 | ||
Rowdy and Emmaus, thanks for your replies which I will study as "good works" is what I need to sort out in my head. Rowdy you make a good point and I know that my conscience works overtime. The flesh is always looking for praise instead of glorifying our God. I need a lot of prayer. By the way, what is WWJD? Blessings, KJ |

102 | eager to preach the gospel to believers? | Rom 1:15 | Ken John | 109371 | ||
In Romans 1:16 Paul writes "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the POWER of GOD unto SALVATION to everyone that believeth;" In Philippians 1:12-14 you will find that the Philippians were distressed that his imprisonment had ended the preaching of the gospel. However, Paul makes it clear that the gospel has instead been extended by his imprisonment. Firstly, he is able to witness to the Praetorian guard of Caesar's Palace. These soldier were the elite of Rome and he was chained to a fresh one each day (see Acts 28:16) which gave him an excellent opportunity to witness for Christ. Secondly, many believers who felt inadequate when Paul was out witnessing, now felt free to speak the Word (verse 14) now that Paul was imprisoned. Today there are millions who need to hear the Gospel and I believe that tools like radio,the internet and, maybe the telly, is one way of reaching these millions especially in Africa, China, India for a start - Ken John, |

105 | Can there be a doctine of atonement ? | Rom 5:11 | Ken John | 113523 | ||
Rom 5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. Can there be a "doctrine of atonement?" Many of our translations use "reconciliation" but Textus Receptus in the Greek uses "atonement" (katallagay') Ken |

106 | Can there be a doctine of atonement ? | Rom 5:11 | Ken John | 113559 | ||
Thank you brother CDBJ for your detailed answer to my question. It has given me a better understanding of "atonement"(meaning to cover) as a doctrine of the Gospel. "Reconciliation" does not seem to fit this verse Romans 5:11 whereas it may do so elsewhere in Scripture. I love the Word of God so hunger for a clear understanding of it so please forgive me if my questions seem stupid. Blessings, Ken. | ||||||

108 | When does newness of life start? | Rom 6:4 | Ken John | 56900 | ||
Newness of life will start immediately. Please read 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......." I hope that I have understood your question and this answer will help you ?? Yours in Christ, K.J. |

109 | Is smoking a sin? | 1 Cor 3:16 | Ken John | 56136 | ||
I believe that if you are serious about your walk with God you should stop smoking. God's temple, your body, must be honoured. For many years I was a very heavy smoker (70 sigs a day) but when I repented and asked God for forgiveness and then accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour, the urge to smoke left me. I felt is was dirty and ruining my health so this got my mind into the right frame. Both my parents were smokers that's how I caught the habit. It is a habit and as such can be broken if you have the will to do so and you ask Jesus to help you. I must admit the urge came back later but I was now strong enough with the Lord's help to resist. Be strong my friend and set your mind to stopping. Just say " NO " each time and don't be temped with smokes in easy reach. Friends will try and talk you into starting again but, like the devil, resist the temptation and eventually you will gain the victory. Believe me as I talk from experience. May God bless you and give you strength. To encourage you read Psalm 51. Yours in Christ, KJ. |

110 | Traditions of men? | Col 2:8 | Ken John | 116927 | ||
Hi Terrib, Here is what Barnes in his commentary has to say about "traditions" and I hope this answers your question. "Received by tradition from your fathers - The mode of worship which had been handed down from father to son. The worship of idols depends on no better reason than that it is that which has been practiced in ancient times; and it is kept up now in all lands, in a great degree, only by the fact that it has had the sanction of the venerated people of other generations." If you read 1Peter1:18-19 you will note an interesting reference to past traditions. "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 1Pe 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:" In Christ, Ken. |

111 | Why God's RIGHT Hand ? | Col 3:1 | Ken John | 116049 | ||
In Colossians 3:1 Paul tells us that Christ is seated at the RIGHT hand of God. Why the right and not the left hand ? What is the Spiritual significance of this; does anyone know ? | ||||||
112 | Why God's RIGHT Hand ? | Col 3:1 | Ken John | 116923 | ||
Thanks Me for your observations. Right hand versus left hand is an interesting thought but I agree right hand, as Suede67 says, is a symbolic of power and authority. Like right hand man is taken as the second in charge here on earth. Of course with God it is different as Father, Son and Holy Spirit are ONE. In Christ, Ken |

113 | wine and acohol | 1 Tim 5:23 | Ken John | 111583 | ||
Greetings brother, I found your comments very interesting because this question of whether Jesus drank wine in the alcoholic state is one which I have researched for an explanation also. As you know alcohol has a good purpose as is everything that our Almighty God has created. Of course man comes along and abuses what he has been given. One can continue on this line for most thing on the globe. In the case of Jesus making wine at the wedding feast, I cannot envisage our Lord creating something that would harm those drinking it. However, whether it was grape juice or not only He can give us an answer. I will continue to research nevertheless. Blessings, Ken John |

114 | 2Tim 2:15 Study dispensationally? | 2 Timothy | Ken John | 108941 | ||
2Timothy 2:15 is a verse I paid little attention to particularly the last part "rightly dividing the word of truth" until recently when I started reviewing my bible study method. Why is it that so many ignore the fact that one needs to study dispensationally, dividing the Word correctly? Are we being disobedient by not doing so? | ||||||
115 | 2Tim 2:15 Study dispensationally? | 2 Timothy | Ken John | 109011 | ||
Hi Steve, you make a valid point and one which I have battled with until recently when asking myself what does "rightly dividing the word of truth" really mean. Also why does Paul write of dispensation in Ephesians 3:2 and in Col 1:26 of ages. So does rightly dividing Gods Word mean we must place things in the right context taking into account different ages and dispensations? I have since read that many are studying Scripture this way and I find it makes good sense. I hope I have expressed myself clearly but would be interested in your opinion too. Thanks, KJ. | ||||||
116 | 2Tim 2:15 Study dispensationally? | 2 Timothy | Ken John | 109013 | ||
Hi brother, "dispensation" means administration(of a household) (KJV) stewardship. In Greek the word is oikonomia. In simple terms, dispensation means household management. So we should be studying Scripture in God's Household of faith as He dispenses His Will. In Christ, KJ |

117 | 2Tim 2:15 Study dispensationally? | 2 Timothy | Ken John | 109017 | ||
Thanks brother, what you say is true and I have been praying a great deal for God's Guidance in the matter of studying His Holy Word. As you know there are many teachers who profess to know what is right and what is wrong so one needs to seek guidance from God. The bible is not easy to understand and is a very misunderstood book. The more I read it, the more I understand and prayer is essential at all times. In Christ, KJ. | ||||||
118 | 2Tim 2:15 Study dispensationally? | 2 Timothy | Ken John | 109019 | ||
Mrs B, thanks for your encouragement as I believe that many are studying Scripture by lucky dipping and have wasted hours of valuable time. Always with prayer we need to study the bible correctly and intelligently as we are instructed by Paul. In Christ, KJ |

120 | Which study bible is the best? | 2 Tim 2:15 | Ken John | 109108 | ||
Greetings jak, like you I have for some time searched for sound instruction and found a five year study course Thru the Bible Radio (www.ttb.org). Dr J Vernon Mcgee is a good sound teacher using mostly the KJV and ASV. Right now Philippians is the study. Also listen to The Best Of McGee on Matthew. I am sure you will be encouraged and learn a lot as I have done these past few months. Yours in Christ, Ken John (KJ) |
