1041 | Can angels sing? | Job 38:7 | azurelaw | 177702 | ||
Dear Hank, Yes, in searching the NASB or the Amplified version, there is no mention about angels sing. However, I have just found out in my NIV bible the following verse: Revelation 5:11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they SANG: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, ...." Translation problem? God bless Azure |

1042 | Can pastors retire? | Bible general Archive 3 | azurelaw | 177668 | ||
Dear Carol, Welcome to the forum and thanks for your input. After reading your post and the verses quoted, they have supported my belief (pretty much in line with Doc) that there is no retirement for pastors. Love in Christ Azure |

Hi Doc, Wow, I am amazed! You are speaking in tongues of my language (Cantonese)! I wonder if you are a Hong Kong citizen or your wife is. Did you live in Hong Kong before? OK, back to the subject: no, there is absolutely no restriction from the HK government on importing books or literature. The only limitation is the market demand here. Few weeks ago, I was trying to find the book "90 minutes in heaven" (also by John Piper? if I remember correctly) in a local book store - The Page One (so call sizable here, funny that they don't have a website as per my previous enquiry) which mainly sells English books. However, there wasn't a single copy exist. Therefore, I had to ask my friend in Canada to get me one when she comes back to HK next month. Nice talking to you, brother. God bless you and your family.

Dear Lionheart, Thanks for your help. What you have said is similar to what I have in mind. Thanks for strengthening my thought. However, concerning my questions on 1 Corinthian 7:25 to 28, I am still not clear. Can you help me out? In Christ. Azure |

1048 | Homosexual are picked on in the church? | Lev 20:13 | azurelaw | 177387 | ||
Dear Kalos, I agree with you totally. This subject or similar one has been discussed over and over again. Why is that so? Sadly I believe it could be people's hardness of heart and their blindness towards Satan's tricks. Many of you guys have given sound and clear scriptural explanation on the issue, still the question just re-appears like weeds. Proverbs 19:3 - A man's own folly ruins his life, yet his heart rages against the Lord. Proverbs 23:29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes? 30: Those who linger over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine. 31: Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly! 32: In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper. 33: Your eyes will see strange sights and your mind imagine confusing things. 34: You will be like one sleeping on the high seas, lying on top of the rigging. 35: "They hit me," you will say, "but I'm not hurt! They beat me, but I don't feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another drink?" Woe unto those who are still making excuses for not repenting. How heartbreaking it is to see that we walk our own way. God bless. Azure |

1051 | Killing of Joab and Adonijah | OT general | azurelaw | 175997 | ||
Dear Doc, Thanks for your answer. However, if I understand your answer correctly, I would need further clarification to my doubts: 1/ In the scripture, David said to Solomon "Deal with him according to your wisdom, but do not let his gray head go down to the grave in peace." (1 King 2:6, NIV version). On 1 King 2:29 ".... Solomon ordered Benaiah son of Jehoiada, 'Go, strike him down!'" From these two scriptures, I can only see that both David and Solomon decided to kill Joab. Is there anything between the lines as you said "intended to try him his crimes" which I had missed? 2/ I understand Solomon was not trying to kill Adonijah but showed his mercy to him by a covenant as you have mentioned. Do you mean that his (Adonijah's) request of marrying Abishag is a kind of evil which caused a breach of the covenant? However, there is no mention that Abishag was a concubine of David, but a virgin serving David only and David did not "sleep" with her neither. Anyway, I would say that Adonijah was a foolish and greedy man indeed. In Christ. Azure |

1052 | One Pastor and one assembly? | Acts 2:42 | azurelaw | 175223 | ||
Dear Hank, Thanks for your reply with encouragement and a good sense of humour. I apologize for my ignorance concerning your dialect. It would be fine with me to take the challenge of reading this 'strange and funny' language. But please don't use them in 'key words' :-) My native tongue is Cantonese (a kind of Chinese). You may (if you have time) just read my profile which I have completed for almost a week. May God bless you and all the participants here in this forum. In Christ Azure |

Dear Hank, I have noticed in some of your recent posts, you have used some strange language or spelling (it looks like so to me) in reply to one or two specific writers, say Bereaniam (Margaret)?. Was it your intention to communicate with them this way? I always enjoy reading your comments and some others' too, say Doc, Kalos, Steve, to name a few. Since I am not a native English speaker, your new approach will add to me some difficulties in understanding your message. I would appreciate it if you could make your language plain (I am not sure if I used the proper wordings here). However, if you think this is the most comfortable or best way for you to communicate with these brothers or sisters, certainly I sincerely respect your choice. Then I have to tune myself to comprehend better :-) In Christ Azure |

1055 | Why was I banned a day before mom died? | Bible general Archive 3 | azurelaw | 175019 | ||
Dear Vince, I feel so sad after I read your message. It is not because your charge against the forum, but I see an angry, sad and lost soul who has lost his/her (?) most loved one. I see several brothers/sisters here at this forum have been trying their best to response your questions or doubts according to the Bible. But please do understand that we, as human being, have our limitations especially with this communication media which we cannot have a face to face interaction. So if we failed you, please be assured that God will never fail you - "If WITH ALL YOUR HEART ye TRULY seek Me, ye shall ever SURELY find me. Thus said our God" I was wondering why do you keep on going to this forum since I read sense of offesiveness in most of your posts. I guess there must be something (or "Someone") guiding you here or to the edge of God's way. So, please keep on searching God (it is a matter of life and death) though you find this forum not satisfactory. P.S. I noticed that some of our brothers/sisters have asked you to let known yourself and it seems that you refused to do so. I would like to say that although no one here knows who you are, God knows you in every single detail. HE cares about you. Please read Psalm 139, this is one of my favourites. Love in Christ. Azure |

1057 | Sam 2 Ch 15 v. 16 David n his concubines | 1 Samuel | azurelaw | 174525 | ||
Dear Doc, Thanks for the answer. But there are still some to be cleared for my doubts. 1/ Could we say that David was compassionate to the women whom he had left behind and caused their sexual impurity in the hands of Absalom? 2/ Couldn't he just divorce them so that they could marry again instead of forcing to be a widow to the rest of their lives? 3/ Was it really necessary for David to leave them at the palace when he was fleeing? I don't mean to be picky against David (and I dare not to coz he is so perfect in the eyes of God. Who am I to judge him or any one? I always admire his faith and love towards God and his kindness and love towards his people and friends. That is why I have the above questions or doubts) Azure |

Dear Hank, I thank you so much for your great help in providing me such a resourceful and remarkable information. I did not expect such a simple question in my mind (which just pop up suddenly when I read the bible) could be an immense and deep one as you stated. I will try to find out more with the information you gave and hope that Dr. Morris's study and writings would not be too difficult for me to understand. God bless you always. |
