101 | Need to know the answer on where was Abr | Gen 11:31 | keliy | 220928 | ||
I believe that your answer is found two verses prior to chapt. 12. 11:31, And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there. (and Terah died in Haran vs. 32) 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country I am so grateful to serve a Lord wholoves us so much, and has grace upon grace in store for us, that He will not allow us to stake out our camp any where that comes short of the Promised Land. |

103 | Summarising the story of Revelation | Rev 1:1 | keliy | 220820 | ||
Hello Rosanna, The Book of Revelation is not only the only Book to come with a built in Blessing for us (vs 3), but it also comes with it's own divinely inspired outline. In 1:19, John is told, "Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter" Rev 1:19 Meaning, things thou hast seen, (past, chapter 1)things which are,(present, chapter 2 and 3)and things which shall be, (future, chapters 4 thru 22) There is much symbolism in the Book, but these are symbols of actual events. We must be careful about commentators who use the symbolism too freely. Such as "the seven spirits who are before His throne" There are way too many interpretations of the 'seven spirits' for them all to be true. I have learned the key for this symbol is found in Isaiah 11:2, where the seven spirits are listed: the spirit of the LORD the spirit of wisdom and understanding the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD Same for the woman in chap 12, who is "clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars" The identity of the woman is partially explained in Joseph's second dream, (Gen 37:9) See how both of these verses are interpreted elsewhere in Scripture. (For at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. Deu 19:15) The Book of Revelation is not to be taken lightly, if you want to receive the blessing that is promised. You must not only exercise discretion, but also diligence. The key to understanding the Book of Revelation is simply to understand the rest of the Bible. |

104 | why did solomon kill adonijah | 1 Kin 2:24 | keliy | 220782 | ||
Hi obyrne, Solomon was not King David's oldest son. That was Adonijah, who would have held the rights to the throne upon the King's death. But since David promised Bathsheba that Solomon would be the next king, he had Solomon anointed by a priest while he was still alive. But Adonijah had his eyes on the throne already, and knowing that King David was not much longer for this world, he declared himself to be king. Two of David’s closest advisors, Joab son of Zeruiah and the priest Abiathar, sided with Adonijah. So, there was a measure of opposition to be faced by Solomon. Then, when Adonijah came to Solomon and requested the king’s servant as a wife, Solomon recognized this as a threat to take over his kingdom. This is what prompted Solomon to send a messenger to kill Adonijah. |

109 | Are Catholic members consider Christian? | Heb 12:23 | keliy | 217322 | ||
Thank you, fcs for your post, and for making your position so pleasantly clear. We all know that the Bible is the Word of God and that no truth will contradict it. So when we scrutinize the teachings and doctrines of various churches, we actually are following an important command from the Bible, to examine all things (1Thes 5:21, 1Pet 3:15, 2Tim 2:15, Acts 17:11, and Jude 3) Basically, Protestants accuse the RCC of being unscriptural, and the RCC states that the Protestants do not possess the true faith that has been carried through the centuries by the RCC, via 'apostolic succession.' Whichever side you choose, the real issue is whether or not the RCC is representing true Christianity. When Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees He chastised them for misunderstanding God's Word. They were appealing to the tradition of their elders, but Jesus exposed their error by citing Scripture. Some of the roman catholic's doctrines are: purgatory, veneration of Mary and saints, veneration of relics, penance, the mass, the priesthood, confessional, indulgences, and oh, what about the annullment of marriage?! Can these doctrines be backed up by Scripture? I suggest that we can see the reason why the RCC says "Sacred tradition and sacred Scripture make up a single deposit of the Word of God" (CCC par. 97) And who's authority actually makes their tradition 'sacred' (other than themselves)? Gal 5:19 says, "Now the works of the flesh are manifest", and in verse 20, 'heresies is listed. Now, why would heresy be listed as a work of the flesh? because it has to do with pride. Just the same as when satan purposed to cast doubt upon God's Word when he tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden. So, my favorite question to ask catholics is, "Do you believe that Jesus Christ's Blood shed on the cross is sufficient to save you from your sin? because the doctrine of purgatory denies that it is. And without the doctrine of purgatory, the whole catholic system would fall apart. God Bless you, my fellow evangelist. May our Lord increase your territory. keliy |

111 | Are Catholic members consider Christian? | Heb 12:23 | keliy | 217309 | ||
Hi fcs, No apologies necessary, we forgive grammar as well as spelling (o: You mention adhering to the Holy Bible in its entirety, and I am with you on that, wholeheartedly. However, to look at it from the other side, the RCC says they have the entire Bible and protestants use only part of the Bible. Do you see my point? History tells us that Jerome, considered to be the 'father of the canon' was dead set against including the apocrypha in the canon -and only after being pressured did he relent and put it in a separate section, -like at the back of the Bible. Catholics do believe in Jesus as the Son of God. This is very unlike the mormons, so that comparison gets squashed at the outset. Same with the J.W.'s. Catholics believe in the Trinity. I do think that many catholics are going to heaven, yet for what I learned about the child-abuse scandal, I think that the present pope should be locked up. When you say "the whole counsel of God is taught/preached in truth." you have to realize that catholics believe that they belong to the one true church. So it is hard to argue for truth with someone who thinks you are protesting against the truth. There are those who have left the RCC, and are now walking in the true light, yes. But catholics have asked me, "if we are wrong then how is it that there are so many protestants converting to catholicism? Speaking of 'true light, Jesus is quoted as saying, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." Jn 8:12 Our Savior also said in Jn 8:31-32, " If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. It is just not possible to make a valid point to someone who thinks you are hopelessly lost unless you truckle over to their belief system. Please keep in mind that it is not flesh and blood at the heart of these disagrements. The battle will rage on until Jesus returns. Try to keep a Christ-like attitude toward the lost sheep is all that I can offer. Lord bless, keliy |

112 | Are Catholic members consider Christian? | Heb 12:23 | keliy | 217182 | ||
Hi Edd, I actually like your question as it prompts much personal and biblical study. There are a few RCC adherents in my life that I have been dialoging with and this required me to do much more study into the teaching of the RCC. I agree with Doc, and know of many who call themselves Christians, but do not adhere to the teachings of Christ. Please read the parable of the wheat and the tares, and pray for enlightenment, as you are entering into spiritual warfare here. On one side we have God's Word, which is always true. On the other side we have the words of satan which are primarily deceptive. What it boils down to is the battlefield in the mind. Many that we think are not Christians may very well be saved, for God looks at the heart, while man can only judge by what he sees. I know of some Catholics who are saved, but it is in spite of the teachings of the Catholic Church. "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, [then] are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:31-32 , KJV) Here is a quote from a monthly newsletter I just received: "The most valuable reality anyone can attain in this life is to order his life by the highest standard for truth. All who are chosen and justified by God, saved and redeemed by Jesus Christ and sealed and indwelt by the Holy Spirit are promised eternal, everlasting life with our great God and Savior. Yet over 50 percent of professing Christianity denies this glorious promise of the gospel." -Mike Gendron http://www.pro-gospel.org/x2/pdf/Vol18No3.pdf May the Lord bless us all in our quest for His Truth, keliy |

113 | all good things come to those who wait | James 1:17 | keliy | 216152 | ||
One passage that may answer your question is Lamentations 3:25,26. The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. -But I am thinking, that the best you could hope for IS in the Lord, so the answer is self-evident. Blessings, keliy |

114 | Does a baby go to heaven | NT general | keliy | 215887 | ||
Hello princeofpeace24, Yes, a baby is unable to make a choice, unable to repent and is unable to place its faith in anything, which causes a pause to consider the doctrine of infant baptism. What I have learned since then is that God really could not care less about the teachings and doctrines of man concerning His Church, which is Christ's Body. Mat 19:14 But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven." Our Creator loves ALL His children, and those who do not choose against Him are unlikely to be guilty of the unforgivable sin, and thereby are certainly covered by the Blood of Christ. This has always been an ongoing debate, which just shows our lack of wisdom and lack of trust. John 20:31 says, "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name." We would best be served by striving for our own salvation and worrying less about those who are only in the hands of God (o: Lord's Blessings, keliy |

115 | Do we understand suffering in delighting | Ps 37:4 | keliy | 215846 | ||
Shalom Momma, I just came home from work and saw your note to me on the screen. Your insight is very welcome, this was a great post to come home to. I only wish I could have read it before I went to work today :o) It would make my day much easier to bear, as I have the kind of job that makes me constantly remind myself who I am really working for, -because it certainly is not for the money (o: I appreciate your comment that, "No suffering is undeserved." It helps me to keep my own pains in the correct frame. And also to remember that we are utterly worthless without the righteousness provided for us in Jesus Christ, and that His is a complete and perfect righteousness. Your words on the fellowship of His sufferings led me to Philippians 3:10, and I see I have much more learning to do in that area as well. Thank you for the encouragement. Lord Bless, keliy |

116 | Do we understand suffering in delighting | Ps 37:4 | keliy | 215839 | ||
Momma, wonderful to hear from you after such a time. -Truly, I have longed for your heart on this forum and you have been in my prayers. Thanks be to our precious Lord. Per your query, I know that you are well informed about context, and how to read the words before the verse you stated. In an effort to delight in the Lord, -May I ask you to re-direct your thoughts to what leads to Jesus' suffering? (see the preceding verse) "And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed" (I wish I could know as well as our Lord does that He is never farther from us than the cast of a stone!) Forgive me, please. I am not presumptuous but I thought if you would look in a new light, -perhaps in a new frame. Since you maintain your desire for diverse insights, I am humbly offering mine here: What I would like to bring to mind is Deu 25:4; "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out....." Now, let me ask you, If God gave dominion -truly, over these beasts of burden, then why does He give such a direction? It was not for the benefit of the ox, but for the example of the kindness of our Lord, as He consistently concerns Himself with the lowliest of creatures, alas, Jesus is the lamb of God!. May I offer here that God desires His people to show a better course than the pagans, in the land that they were sharing. The pagans would have been entrenched into a selfish attitude as they muzzled the ox that was doing the labor required for their daily bread. (they simply did not want to share) yet, Our God wants His people to be different than those in this fallen world in which we live; and ever conspicuously so. We are taught to habitually perform kindness above and beyond what is expected of us, beyond what is ever expected or remotely required, and always be ready to give an answer why our actions are in (supposed) opposition to the present world views. (This is the reason why the Beatitudes are one of my favorite studies.) In addition, ((as well as a happy belated "momma's" day to you, (with love in Christ)) I am curious as to your well-being, if I may so inquire. I am heartfully feeling that your question is somehow due to some type of undeserved suffering on your behalf. -Am I correct, or just out of line? Thank you dear momma, Please keep us informed because we care so deeply for you. I hope all is well and will continue to remember you in my prayers. keliy |

117 | What is worship supposed to be like? | Ps 43:4 | keliy | 215252 | ||
Thank you, Searcher. Your post blessed me, for I had not even thought of looking into the Greek. I did take a beginner's course in Koine Gk last year, but I had a long day today. (I am without excuse for my slackness, -even though I enjoy the challenging aspect of my job, I worked outside on a chilly Wisconsin day today, the first day back on the job after a four month layoff. And this, after breaking two ribs and a fractured (T11) vertabrae only 1 month ago. 3-13-09) So you see, your post was welcome, as I am filling up a list of blessings for just today, and I have a lot to be in worship for. For if Christ had not risen, I would be unable to partake in this "resurrection living" that keeps me running the race with tenacity and endurance.. As you picture someone kissing the pope's ring, I pictured my own 6 mo. old puppy who can hardly stop licking my hand. So, I turned to Vine's Dictionary for the following, additional information: Greek: proskuneo -Verb -Strong's Number: 4352 Worship (Verb and Noun), Worshiping: "to make obeisance, do reverence to" (from pros, "towards," and kuneo, "to kiss"), is the most frequent word rendered "to worship." It is used of an act of homage or reverence (a) to God, e.g., Mat 4:10; Jhn 4:21-24; 1Cr 14:25; Rev 4:10; 5:14; 7:11; 11:16; 19:10 (2nd part); Rev 22:9; (b) to Christ, e.g., Mat 2:2, 8, 11; 8:2; 9:18; 14:33; 15:25; 20:20; 28:9, 17; Jhn 9:38; Hbr 1:6, in a quotation from the Sept. of Deu 32:43, referring to Christ's Second Advent; (c) to a man, Mat 18:26; (d) to the Dragon, by men, Rev 13:4; (e) to the Beast, his human instrument, Rev 13:4, 8, 12; 14:9, 11; (f) the image of the Beast, Rev 13:15; 14:11; 16:2; (g) to demons, Rev 9:20; (h) to idols, Act 7:43. Note: As to Mat 18:26, this is mentioned as follows, in the "List of readings and renderings preferred by the American Committee" (see RV Classes of Passages, IV): "At the word 'worship' in Mat 2:2, etc., add the marginal note 'The Greek word denotes an act of reverence, whether paid to man (see Mat 18:26) or to God (see Mat 4:10)'." The Note to Jhn 9:38 in the American Standard Version in this connection is most unsound; it implies that Christ was a creature. J. N. Darby renders the verb "do homage" [see the Revised Preface to the Second Edition (1871) of his New Translation]. |

118 | What is worship supposed to be like? | Ps 43:4 | keliy | 215239 | ||
Hello, LookRightTroughMe, I would suggest learning all you can about the Book of Psalms. It is the longest Book of the Bible, and its primary purpose is to teach us to worship God. Psalms have been credited with reflecting every human emotion. For instance, if you are happy and want some words to express your happiness, try Psalm 92 or Psalm 66. If you feel forsaken, try Psalm 88. If you are grateful and you would like to express it, read Psalm 40. This book, therefore, teaches us how to be honest before God. If you have a problem, tell God about it. If you are angry with God, just let Him know. If you are upset about something, tell Him that too. If you are resentful, bring it out. If you are glad, you should express that to Him also. That is what worship is, just the honesty within each believer's heart. As Jesus said to the woman at the well in Samaria, "The true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and truth." (John 4:23) That is the kind of worshiper that God is looking for. And as you worship Him in Spirit and truth, you will discover a new source of strength. If you are able to be completely honest before God, even when you are troubled by those pesky problems of bad moods and wrong attitudes, you will find His grace is not only abundant, but it is also silently answering all of your needs. May you discover joyful blessings as you worship Him through your studies. keliy |

Blessings to you, Rajeeb. First, I would suggest that we should start by comparing the two religions. It would also be obvious that offering a comparison of Christianity and Hinduism is quite a challenging task. I might begin by pointing out that Hinduism is not exclusive and accepts all religions as valid. On the other hand, Christianity, teaches that Christ is the only way to God. The Bible tells us in John 14:6, "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.' As a Christian, I must believe that Jesus could not be telling a lie, because He is truth and truth is a product of reality. It is not possible for two opposing statements to be equally valid. Where we see the contradiction, we must also find the error. Either Christ was wrong or He was right when He claimed to be the only path to God. Both Christianity and Hinduism hold beliefs which appear similar, but there is a major difference that is not to be overlooked. In Hinduism, as well as Judaism, we find a sort of compensation being made for sins through sacrifices to an angry God. Both religions teach that this is done through animal sacrifice. The culmination of these sacrifices for sin is found only in Christianity. This is where God's love for His creation is made evident. I can think of no other religion that teaches of their Savior being made a sacrifice for the sins of anyone else. Jesus explains His love for us in John 15:13, "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." We have all done things we know are wrong. Both Hinduism and Christianity relate the divine commandment of "perfect righteousness" and also that we are to be held accountable for our actions. The difference is that Christianity preaches the penalty for our sin has already been paid by the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. To become a Christian is to accept by faith that this ultimate sacrifice is sufficient and through the grace of God we are able to avoid the ultimate penalty. There are many people who are much better at explaining the dynamics of this than I. Two of them are Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron, and I suggest you listen to their video messages at www.wayofthemaster.com/ In His Love, keliy |
