101 | God helps those who help themselves? | 1 Cor 12:28 | Tim3:16 | 164434 | ||
Hi Helen, No, that time-worn cliche is not founded in the Bible, in fact, the words 'God Helps' never appear together, at least not in the King James. They do appear in the verse above, though not in an exact match. I put the verse below in a passage to help you understand how God actually does help us, and it is by giving us gifts, which could also be called talents. "...But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way." vss. 24f - 31) Now, I believe we are basically useless without God's help, so what happens to those who God doesn't help? or, what does God do with those who do not help themselves? Remember, it says also, in Matt 5:45 that He makes the sun rise on the evil and the good, and He sends down rain on the just as well as the unjust. (my paraphrase) I think that is why there are so many Protestant denominations, because people interpret things that they see in the Bible for themselves, or pick and choose verses out of context, and then they disagree and cause a split so that someone will go and start their own church that is wrapped around that belief. Stay warm on this cold week in Wisconsin! Tim, from Milwaukee. |

102 | Living together without sex | 1 Thess 5:22 | Tim3:16 | 163593 | ||
Funny you should ask that, Doctor. The same thing happened to me 3 months ago. My fiancee was in a predicament and needed to get out of her apartment. we were to be married within 1.5 months, so we asked our very knowledgable pastor, during one of our pre-marital counseling sessions, what he thought of our idea. He said that it was not his place to judge, we should take it to the Lord in prayer, and he said he was confident that we would remain pure. So we went ahead, took turns sleeping on the couch, and was care ful not to let our families or church members find out, of course without actually lying about anything. During the co-habitation, we went out to dinner one night and she had a little too much to drink. That caused us to fall into the very act of immorality that we were trying so hard to avoid, and were yet so confident that we would not fail. Well, one night before dinner, I upset her and she had a hard time forgiving me. we went to the next session and our pastor said he saw some danger signals, and that he suggested we wait 6 more months for the marriage. We have since broke up. Before the fateful night, it was my belief that it was such a great testimony to how much respect we had for God's laws. To live together and still avoid sinning. After that night, however, even though we both repented with a contrite heart, it was my belief that our Lord squashed our marriage plans as His way of telling me to keep his whole law, and if I thought I could bend it without failing, well then, as the spiritual head of the household I better be certain that I do not fail, or cause anyone else (future wife) to fail. I now regret the decision, and am living with dire consequences in my life. May God shine His light of truth and love upon your relationship and help you both to make the right decision. Tim PS the KJV translation of the above verse is, "Abstain from all appearance of evil." |

Does any one know the true meaning of the word 'Nicolaitans' or, possibly the root words (Nico , Lait )and their meanings; and, does the meaning suggest any explanation towards the meaning of Rev 2:6? Since this New Testament book was written by a Jew, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, am I to look for translation in Greek, or Hebrew? May God Bless you and yours. |

108 | Christians/Catholics same? | Rom 3:28 | Tim3:16 | 162173 | ||
No it is not stated anywhere, that they believe in salvation by faith alone. Because Catholics believe in salvation in faith plus works, and sacraments, and baptism. The other doctrines that opposes the beliefs of evangelical Christians is the doctrine of purgatory, praying to Mary, confessing to a priest, and the list goes on. 2Jo 1:9 Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. God Bless you in your faith and worship, Tim |

109 | Can God's directives oppose His Word? | Jer 2:23 | Tim3:16 | 162032 | ||
Thank you, Caldog, I know that God's ways are higher than ours, and I would never think of questioning His sovereignty. But I think this goes a little deeper than what you are referring to, don't you? What you say is that this happened before Christ. I think that God is unchanging, also, man is equally as sinful today as he was then. My perplexity arises from what God's inspired Word tells us in 1Cr 10:13: "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it." Thanks again, God Bless Tim |

112 | what evil did the Lord create? Isah 45:7 | Is 45:7 | Tim3:16 | 160299 | ||
Our wonderfully omnipotent God has the ability to order as well as dispose of each our comforts, as well as all of our crosses, in this (or any) world. See John 1:3 "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." To me, this means He created the devil for the fulfillment of His divine will, and He also created the evil of punishment, and yes, also the evil of death. |

113 | Selfishness | Is 26:8 | Tim3:16 | 159629 | ||
Hi Night Jay, I have heard selfish people being accused of having "ingrown eyeballs". This is where they only want what is to their own advantage, and are unwilling to wait for these desires, (above and beyond what is essential for basic survival), and no sympathy or concern for others who may have to make sacrifices so they can get what they want when they want it. One example would be if two lovers were planning a wedding and the man says a small wedding would be fine, but the woman says she insists on a large wedding regardless of the cost or affordability. What we should do is seek the LORD in prayer and fasting, and search the Bible for the answer, asking for the guidance of the Holy Spirit God Bless, tim |

114 | Christian Polygamy? | Bible general Archive 2 | Tim3:16 | 156431 | ||
Well, in 1 corinthians 7:4 it says we do not have power of our own body, but that power belongs to our spouse. If we have two spouses, then each one would have power over 50 percent of us, and if we had 5 spouses, then each spouse would have power over 20 percent of us. That is not a situation that lines up with God's inspired word, Agreed? Tim PS, I enjoy the 700 club as well, but with anything else that is on TV, you must take it in, and decide whether it lines up with God's truth or not. |

115 | Faith Knowledge and Baptism | Rom 10:17 | Tim3:16 | 156430 | ||
Well first, I believe that you need knowledge, for how can your heart love what your mind does not know? Yet, you are right in referring to Eph 2:8, in that we are saved by Grace. I believe that without the Grace of God, we are unable to have Faith. 1 John 4:19 gives onother clue, "We love him, because he first loved us." This tells me that God created us and all our emotions and curiosities are owing to Him. So there is nothing we can give or do to surprise God or earn anything he freely gives us. I do not believe that an infant can make a profession of faith that leads to its baptism. Can you have knowledge without faith? Well I would say the knowledge would be a sporadic knowledge at best, or how could we know of God without wanting to have a personal relationship with him through faith? Can we have faith without knowledge? Well, that would be a "dead" faith, for what would we actually be being faithful to, without knowing what we are seeking? Tim |

118 | Did Jesus punish anyone, that is, an ind | Matt 18:6 | Tim3:16 | 146580 | ||
Mat 18:1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" Mat 18:2 And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, Mat 18:3 and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Mat 18:4 "Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Mat 18:5 "And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me; Mat 18:6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.
