121 | When do we say Amen in prayer? | Matt 6:7 | Michael Draves | 226386 | ||
Matt 6:7 "And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. Amen is more common at the end of a prayer. Does the word 'Amen' really mean something to you or do you use it because that's what you have always heard? In the Lord's sample prayer, Matt 6:13, the end phrase with 'Amen' is likely an addition. Amen is to be repeated after each curse in Deut 27 to accept it. |

122 | Is it wrong if it comes amidst? | Matt 6:7 | Michael Draves | 226404 | ||
It is not wrong. If you are in a church that only says 'Amen' at the end of a prayer you might confuse people who take the 'Amen' as a cue that the prayer is done. | ||||||
123 | Fasting | Matt 6:17 | Michael Draves | 160802 | ||
Matt 6:16 "Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. Matt 6:17 "But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face Matt 6:18 so that your fasting will not be noticed by men, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. Is 58:6 "Is this not the fast which I choose, To loosen the bonds of wickedness, To undo the bands of the yoke, And to let the oppressed go free And break every yoke? Is 58:7 "Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry And bring the homeless poor into the house; When you see the naked, to cover him; And not to hide yourself from your own flesh? |

124 | model to make decisions of obedience God | Matt 16:24 | Michael Draves | 149989 | ||
Matt 16:24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. 1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. 19 1 John 3:16 We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. Mic 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God? Phil 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. Phil 3:7 But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Phil 3:8 More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, Phil 3:9 and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, Phil 3:10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; Phil 3:11 in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Phil 3:12 Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Phil 3:13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, Phil 3:14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Phil 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you; Phil 3:16 however, let us keep living by that same standard to which we have attained. Phil 3:17 Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us. Phil 3:18 For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, Phil 3:19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things. |

125 | John is Elijah- reincarnation? | Matt 17:11 | Michael Draves | 150576 | ||
John the Baptist functions as a forerunner to the ministry of Jesus. Elijah will come before the Day of the LORD. John may have resembled how the people pictured Elijah both in appearance and in prophetic actions. John the Baptist is not a reincarnation of Elijah rather he has a symbolically similar role. Matt 17:1 Six days later Jesus *took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and *led them up on a high mountain by themselves. Matt 17:2 And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light. Matt 17:3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. Matt 17:4 Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, I will make three tabernacles here, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah." Matt 17:5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!" Matt 17:6 When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground and were terrified. Matt 17:7 And Jesus came to them and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid." Matt 17:8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone. Matt 17:9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man has risen from the dead." Matt 17:10 And His disciples asked Him, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" Matt 17:11 And He answered and said, "Elijah is coming and will restore all things; Matt 17:12 but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands." Matt 17:13 Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist. John 1:19 This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" John 1:20 And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ." John 1:21 They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he *said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No." |

127 | Did Elijah come back prior to the Messia | Matt 17:11 | Michael Draves | 226366 | ||
Mat 17:10-13 And His disciples asked Him, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" And He answered and said, "Elijah is coming and will restore all things; but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands." Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist. Can a prophesy be fulfilled more than once? Does the original context matter? Does it matter if the writer only understood it one way? |

If you are doing a research project you should be using the ATLA Religion Database to search for articles. A college library may have access online and a seminary may have the CDs. It superceded Religous Periodicals Index #1. For links search for "Matt 27:54" and "Matthew 27:54" with google including the quotation marks and weed through them yourself. | ||||||

133 | Did John the Baptist eat fruit or bugs? | Mark 1:6 | Michael Draves | 101103 | ||
Always took it to be the bugs since they are Kosher. Leviticus 11 NASB 21 'Yet these you may eat among all the winged insects which walk on all fours: those which have above their feet jointed legs with which to jump on the earth. 22 'These of them you may eat: the locust in its kinds, and the devastating locust in its kinds, and the cricket in its kinds, and the grasshopper in its kinds. 23 'But all other winged insects which are four-footed are detestable to you. |

If you only had Mark you would have to conclude at his Baptism by John about 25 AD. If you had only Matthew or Luke you could say it was at his conception about 5 BC. If you only had John then you could say the Logos that became flesh was preexistant as part of the God Head to eternity past. | ||||||
135 | WHERE IN THE BIBLE SAYS GOD BEFORE WIFE | Mark 7:11 | Michael Draves | 103833 | ||
35 One of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, 36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" 37 And He said to him, " 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' 38 "This is the great and foremost commandment. 39 "The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' 40 "On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets." Mark 7:9 He was also saying to them, "You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition. Mark 7:10 "For Moses said, 'HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER'; and, 'HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER, IS TO BE PUT TO DEATH'; Mark 7:11 but you say, 'If a man says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is to say, given to God),' Mark 7:12 you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother; Mark 7:13 thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that." Is 58:7 "Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry And bring the homeless poor into the house; When you see the naked, to cover him; And not to hide yourself from your own flesh? Luke 14 26 "If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. 1 Timothy 5:8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. |

136 | why is 3:00 in the bible important | Mark 15:34 | Michael Draves | 198227 | ||
Do you mean "the third hour" or "three o'clock". Time in the New Testament usually is listed as hours of the day after sunrise and hours of the night after sunset. Sometimes a "watch" is given. You can do some research if you want to find out if John is using a different standard for measuring time. The Amplified Bible makes it easier for us to see the approximate time of day meant: Matt 20:9 And those who had been hired at the eleventh hour (five o'clock) came and received a denarius each. Mark 6:48 (Matt 14:25) And having seen that they were troubled and tormented in [their] rowing, for the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night [between 3:00-6:00 a.m.] He came to them, walking [directly] on the sea. And He acted as if He meant to pass by them, Mark 15:25 And it was the third hour (about nine o'clock in the morning) when they crucified Him. [Ps. 22:14-16.] Mark 15:33 (Matt 27:45, Luke 23:44) And when the sixth hour (about midday) had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour (about three o'clock). Mark 15:34 (Matt 27:46) And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?--which means, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me [deserting Me and leaving Me helpless and abandoned]? [Ps. 22:1.] Luke 12:38 "Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves. John 1:39 He said to them, Come and see. So they went and saw where He was staying, and they remained with Him that day. It was then about the tenth hour (about four o'clock in the afternoon). John 4:6 And Jacob's well was there. So Jesus, tired as He was from His journey, sat down [to rest] by the well. It was then about the sixth hour (about noon). John 4:52 So he asked them at what time he had begun to get better. They said, Yesterday during the seventh hour (about one o'clock in the afternoon) the fever left him. John 11:9 Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. John 19:14 Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover, and it was about the sixth hour (about twelve o'clock noon). He said to the Jews, See, [here is] your King! Acts 2:15 For these men are not drunk, as you imagine, for it is [only] the third hour (about 9:00 a.m.) of the day; Acts 3:1 NOW PETER and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour (three o'clock in the afternoon), Acts 10:3 About the ninth hour (about 3:00 p.m.) of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God entering and saying to him, Cornelius! Acts 10:9 The next day as they were still on their way and were approaching the town, Peter went up to the roof of the house to pray, about the sixth hour (noon). Acts 10:30 And Cornelius said, This is now the fourth day since about this time I was observing the ninth hour (three o'clock in the afternoon) of prayer in my lodging place; [suddenly] a man stood before me in dazzling apparel, Acts 23:23 Then summoning two of the centurions, he said, Have two hundred footmen ready by the third hour of the night (about 9:00 p.m.) to go as far as Caesarea, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen. |

139 | if you commit suicide do you go to heave | Luke 6:37 | Michael Draves | 101047 | ||
The Roman Catholic church may have a teaching about this but the Bible doesn't. To answer one way may encourage people that suicide is acceptable. To answer the other way makes the survivors live with the terrible judgement on top of the loss they have. If this happened to someone you know then consider the that the Judge of the whole earth will do what is right. If you are considering this yourself then aren't you angry at God and why would you want to see God now? Seeking counselling can help a depressed person. There are medicines for both depression and bipolar disorder. Unfortunately antidepressants can give a depressed person enough will power to commit suicide before the depression lifts. People need to ask for a different medication if their suicidal ideas don't stop with one medicine. |
