1121 | What's the importance of Old Testament? | Gal 3:24 | New Creature | 40852 | ||
Greetings JCLT2 I think the following Scriptures will help you understand the importance of the Old Testament for us today. 1Cor. 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. the above verse means that all that happened to the Israelites during their 40 years wandering in the wilderness were written for those of us who are alive today, so that we might not make the same mistakes they became guilty of. It is easier to learn from others mistakes, instead of having to find out the hard way. Rom. 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. The things that were written aforetime refers to those things that were written in the Old Testament. It says here in Romans that what was written previously in the Old Testament was written for our learning. So in conclusion it would do us well to read and learn the examples of men and woman in the Old Testament and get a better understanding of the ways and purposes of God. I hope this helps you. |

EdB I appreciate your comments on this topic. I just have been thinking about this lately and want to make sure I give my family proper instructions concerning either my burial or disposal. Do I want to become food for whatever creatures may feed upon my rotting flesh, or do I want to help starve them into extinction? Well enough of the kidding around, in all seriousness I want to be sure I honor God and seek His direction and will for my life AND PHYSICAL DEATH in everything I do. | ||||||

EdB My point is. If cremation is for the believer, why do I not find a single Bibical example of a godly person choosing cremation over burial. Most replys I have read in here concerning this topic say it does not matter whether one chooses cremation or burial. My contention is, what scriptural examples do we have for our practice as believers. I see evidence in Scripture that the godly preferred burial. So my next question would be, why burial and not cremation? |

Searcher Yes, I know this is a previously discussed topic. That is why I mentioned that I had read all the replys on this topic. I know the majority say that if one desires to be cremated that they can do so without violating God's word. What I desired to ask was the following. Since there is no scriptural text which actually says that cremation is neither unBibical or Bibical, I then look at Bibical example of godly individuals in the Bible to see if any of them chose cremation for theirselves rather than burial. I find no evidence in Scripture that any godly person chose cremation over burial. So when I cannot support a practice with the actual text, shouldn't Bibical example or role model be an example for Christian practice. I would love to hear from others. |

I read all the replys on the topic of "cremation" and observed that almost all find no scriptural support to declare that cremation is unBibical. Most people cited the case of King Saul, and how his body was burned. However I cannot find one instance of any godly person in Scripture who chose for himself cremation. Now I too believe that God can ressurect the body whether it is burned or buried. I realize that many godly men and women were burned at the stake. However they did not choose to be burned. So my question is, should a believer who has the option of burial or cremation, choose cremation or Christian burial. And I even recognize that the term "Christian burial" has no Scriptural support. Anyone have any thoughts on this? |

1131 | When did the Apostles receice salvation | Not Specified | New Creature | 40628 | ||
At what point in the life of the apostles, can we prove Bibically that they were converted (saved)? Was it when they were chosen by Jesus? Was it at the transfiguration? Was it at the resurrection? Was it at Pentecost? Or was it at sometime I failed to mention. Could you please give Scripture to prove why you believe the way you do. We had a discussion about this question in small group Bible study, and no one seemed to have a clear answer. I would appreciate all your help. | ||||||

1133 | "when thou art converted" | Not Specified | New Creature | 40494 | ||
In Luke 22:32 Jesus says to Peter: "But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren." Does the phrase "when thou art converted" imply that Peter was non-converted at this time? Secondly, if Peter himself was not a convert to Christ Jesus, would that mean that at this time none of the other disciples were converts either at this juncture? |
