121 | handling relationships as a Christian | Matthew | Scribe | 85971 | ||
1 Corinthians 7:25-40 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you. But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not; And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away. But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry. Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well. So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better. The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God. Hello Gab, take a look at these scritpures and think about what Paul is saying. Imagine the life of godliness Paul is suggesting. The best think you could do is to continue to devote yourself to the Lord. Pray, study the word and get involved in ministry in your church. If your church does not have an outreach ministry of somekind find an outreach ministry nearby that needs volunteers and help out. As you are busy doing the work of God, witnessing the Gospel, telling people what great things God has done for you in Jesus Christ you will learn many things. One of the things that you will soon be very clear on is that your main goal in life is to serve and please the Lord, everything else comes second including romance. If you love this girl in the Lord you will point her to the same life of adventure, serving God and enjoying eternal things. She will find such a thing attractive if there is any hope at all. If not then don't look back follow hard after Jesus Christ and forsake all from Him. After all that is the only way to be a true christian. Matthew 10:37-38 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. Luke 9:61-62 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. You must remain loving and kind and reach out to her in love as you would any other lost sinner or backslider, but you must follow the Lord. As you are involved in outreach and doing the work of the Lord, living life on the "cutting edge" of the kingdom and not getting bogged down in "false christian religion" then you will find that you are ministering alongside sisters in the Lord that share a like passion for the Lord Jesus Christ with you. First you will be friends treating them as sisters only with all purity, but as God wills it there will be one that he will put you with that will be that person that will serve the Lord with you in Life, where you will both have a passion for serving God and not be a drain on each other like the way Paul speaks about. It is very important to make sure you are very patient allowing God to give you the wife that will not backslide on you or loose her passion for the Lord a year after you are married. That is why meeting her in the work of outreach is so helpful. The kind of wife you want is one that has the same passion for Christ that you have and just going to church does not really tell you much. The one that is burning with the fire of the Holy Spirit is one who is serving the Lord in ministry. God bless you as you seek His Face Daily. |

122 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Matt 12:39 | Scribe | 48052 | ||
Psalms 86:13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. Psalms 139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. Jonah 2:2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. Matthew 12:39-40 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Acts 2:27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. It seems that there may be something to the idea of Christ being somehow a prisoner in hell for that brief time. The fact that he says his descension is compared to Jonah in the belly of the well, and we know that Jonah was in great distress. The fact that he says.. "thou wilt not leave my soul in hell" it seems that some sort of breaking through occured and He became triumphant. It seems that he descended with the sin of the world.. and yet was declared righteous when He was there, so death, hell and the grave lost their legal hold on him. but stating that they lost their legal hold on him means that for a brief time by the fact of He being the substitution for us death hell and the grave were claiming a legal hold, but once whatever it was that had to be done to satisfy the just judgement and legal claims of a holy God were met.. then they lost their hold. I see nothing unscriptural about saying he suffered as Jonah in the belly of whale. And yet I do not recall ever hearing about the suffering of Christ in hell but rather His suffering seems to be always mentioned as on the cross. Howbeit we do recall referencing His suffering for us before the cross such as the Garden. Good question and worthy of more study. May God bless you in your study of His Word. |

123 | What kind of seed are we sewing? | Matt 13:37 | Scribe | 47371 | ||
Matthew 13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; I understand your question. It is true that God uses us to sow seed, as Paul stated one sows another waters. However the truth remains that dynamic of a seed being planted and bringing forth fruit, or taking root in good soil is entirely outside of our control. Mark 4:27-28 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. It is the Father in heaven that is able to reveal to a man the Christ and to make him to have understanding. It is the Father in Heaven that allows the judgement of a lack of understanding to come upon a man that he cannot hear. And what part do we have in all this? As much as lies within us we should endeavor to preach to those that recieve us and shake the dust off of those that reject us, letting our peace return to us and not entering into strife. There are those who are "in the way of life" and those that are "in the way of death" we do not judge these things but we know that they are and that we should not extend too much spiritual energy on the one that is "in the way of death" Consider Christ and how he ministered to some that "were not far from the kingdom of heaven" and you will see in that prospective convert an honest approach to spiritual questions. So it should be in these forums and christian chat rooms on the internet. It is a snare to waste time and spiritual energy striving about words with someone who does not have this hones heart. How do we know who does and who doesn't. The Holy Spirit will guide you if you will have faith for it and as He does you will find you are not judging anyone one way or the other, but leaving the judgement up to God and simply following the peace that God gives. So you "inquire within if anyone is worthy.. and if so there abide until the Spirit moves you on.. and if not.. then let your peace return unto you and move on." May God bless you in your Study of His Word. One last thought. The only good soil that had understanding of the kind that bore fruit was a tilled ground. The tilled ground according to the OT prophets when applying it to the heart was always speaking about a repentant heart. Repentant of past sins and an eager willingness to follow God. |

124 | raising the dead- no possible today?? | Matt 16:24 | Scribe | 54834 | ||
I think the question you raise "are there no really true followers of Jesus Christ so faithful and so empowered to accomplish such a miracle" Is the Holy Spirit working in you.. You are asking "these stories in Acts are all very wonderful and help me but.. where are the Peter's today? Where are the Phillips, or Pauls or Stephens?.. Is God a respector of persons? We know that the scripture says He is not.. Where are the Elijahs.. where are the Enochs.. where is the man who will say "Phooey" to dispensational rhetoric and say.. God here am I use me... God I want to go beyond the norm.. I am willing to give up all this world has to offer to walk with you as Enoch did. I want to know you more than this western nominal "say your sinners prayer, sign the card" religion. I want to have the faith that says to the lame.. I serve the same God of Acts and He what He has promised, He is able to perform, He said in Mark 16 that these signs shall follow them that believe.. They will lay hands on the sick and they shall be healed.. he sent out his disciples and said go heal the sick, cast out demons, raise the dead.. Freely you have recieved (by faith alone) freely give.. (do not charge). I will take you at your Word Lord and reject all seminary teachings by the intellect of men to nullify the Word of God for today. And yes brother you will see the dead raised. Nothing is impossible with God. Why do we think it is a hard thing for God to raise the dead? I have seen it already. I have seen a man dead and raised again by a believeing brother in the name of Jesus and over 20 witnesses gave glory to God. | ||||||
125 | is this a second coming verse | Matt 16:28 | Scribe | 46346 | ||
it is in reference to the going to the mount of transfiguration and being glorifed in front of Peter james and John. We know that it is for sure beyond any question or dispute becuase Peter said that he saw the power of the coming of the son of God when on the mount and then said we would all partake of the same glory at his coming. So yes it is a promise of what all saints that are ready will experience at the coming of the Lord. Not a dissapearing from view but a glorification. |

126 | where does peter say | Matt 16:28 | Scribe | 46473 | ||
Matthew 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 2 Peter 1:16-18 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. Notice what Peter says..."when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, " so it is beyond dispute from the mouth of Peter himself that Peter understood Jesus as meaning that the event of the transfiguration of Christ is what it will be like when Jesus comes again. |

127 | Matthew 16:28 | Matt 16:28 | Scribe | 86579 | ||
as has been mentioned already by the other answers, it is speaking of the mount of transiguration. The some of you, were Peter, James and John. Peter said that he witnessed the Power of the COming and glory of Christ when he saw this on the mount in the epistle of Peter. So it does speak of the 2nd coming, and it is saying that those that are alive when Jesus comes again will be transfigured and shine with this same glory. The disappearing rapture theory is a mistake. The word says we are changed and rise, not dissapear and rise. We are glorified and rise. We will shine with the same Glory that Jesus had and the world will see it in my opinion. A holy vindication of all that have been persecuted by the wicked. |

128 | Multiple Wives in the OT? | Matt 19:8 | Scribe | 41869 | ||
Now I know it may seem as though I posted a scripture that does not apply. I believe that this passage does apply to the question of more than one wife. Since Jesus sites...23 And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. ...as scripture for stating divorce was not in God's plan for man, it also can be said that based on this verse "the Two would become one" means One man plus One woman equals two; is God's plan but because of their inability to control their passions he let them have more than one in order to keep fornication and sexual sins curbed as they did not have the regeneration work inside that we now do as born again saints. So in the New Testament you see these verses,..1 Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; (which means if he is married he must have one wife, or it means he should be married and only to one) or it may mean he should not be divorced. Or all of the above. God Bless You in your study of His Word. |

129 | MAny are called - not All are called??? | Matt 22:14 | Scribe | 85702 | ||
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. The Context of the verse makes the meaning very clear. Jesus gives a parable of a wedding invitation. The call went out to the Jews and they rejected it and even beat and killed the prophets, The call now goes out to the gentiles and everyone else.. Matthew 22:8-9 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. The Call is to all which is not a contradiction of saying many. If the call is to all, then it is also true that the call is to many. And yet few are chosen. Now here is the sobering part. there are many that come to the wedding thinking they are ready for it. And they are rejected.. I personally believe that it has to do with faith in Christ which cleanses us from sin and makes us live holy. The Cheap Grace message that says holiness is not important, leaves some with a false sense of security that they can indulge in their sins and still be let into the wedding feast in that day because they "go to church" and they "believe in Jesus" which is not the same kind of faith that saves. |

130 | Laws to live by? | Matt 22:36 | Scribe | 41920 | ||
Mt 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Mt 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mt 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mt 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Mt 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. |

131 | What is the literal Greek translation? | Matt 22:37 | Scribe | 64619 | ||
...and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit... Now comparing what Peter said here and then seeing how Cornelius and his house recieved the Holy Spirit and spake in tongues before they were baptized, we conclude that the order is not the point. This is a good example of how zeroing in on the literal greek is not as important as seeing the big picture. Collecting all the passages we see a clear picture. Since Cornelius and the house full of seeking gentiles there recieved the Holy Spirit before they were baptized then we know that there is no contradiction to what Peter is saying her if we get our eyes off the order of what Peter is saying it in and focus rather on the idea or concept of actually doing it as an act of faith. God does not concern himself with the order of the visible outward activities but rather is moving in the realm of the invisible realities of what we cannot see concerning repentance, baptism in water, or even praying words we utter. Those things we do in faith but they are not the realities, they are outward visible signs that our spirit man is being changed in the invisible. Faith is evidence of things not seen. We do not see the spirit washed by renewing and regeneration, we only see the water baptism part, but God does not limit it to the moment we get dunked, My personal opinion, is that it is more like a process.. a moment of time might apply,.. but most of us have testimonies that are more like a slower awakening over a period of days rather than a one time altar call. By the time most people are baptized in water today they have been born again and are growing in Christ and bearing the fruit of repentance. Rarely will you find a church that operates like the book of Acts and the same day someone confesses faith in Christ, go find water and baptize them. If that happened it would be more accurate to say that they experience the rebirth at baptism. Since indeed, whenever this "event" that we might think is a moment in time occurs, it would occur the same day we confessed faith in Christ and since being born again is like the wind.. you cannot see it,.. the actual rebirth of the spirit is invisible.. but like the wind you can see the force it exerts on other things,.. or you will see that evidence of the wind... you will also know that one is born again by the change.. this change takes over.. howbeit it is rare that a person is a sinner on Monday and has quit every single solitary habit, such as how he uses his tongue etc.. on Tuesday. But over time.. and it might be a short time relatively speaking.. such as two weeks. He has quit all bad habits that we can see outwardly. Most like to see this as being born again and then getting cleaned up. I am leaning toward the whole change itself being part of the rebirth, even though it has nothing to do with being on probation or earning the rebirth, the change is evidence that you are being born again, not that the changed life is making you born again. | ||||||
132 | How do you "honor" lying parents? | Matt 23:9 | Scribe | 85779 | ||
The meaning of the commandment is that you should give them the honor of parents. If while growing up under their authority the child should respect their authority and not speak evil of them because they have rules. They are parents and have a duty to God to do their best, it is sinful for the child to act angrily toward them or hold bitterness because his flesh is being curbed by their rules. Now as an adult your duty is to show honor if the parents are old and feeble and need help. For instance, the parent may have lived in wickedness, they may not be a christian, but if they are old and feeble you are still to show honor in that these people were instrumental in bringing you into the world and took care of you when you could not take care of yourself, it is your duty to take care of them when they are old. If you do not you are guilty of not honoring your mother or father. If the parent is not feeble and is insisting that you agree with them about somthing that is foolish or sinful you can simply seperate from them without showing dishonor. | ||||||
133 | Rapture - Bodies or souls disappear? | Matt 24:27 | Scribe | 104356 | ||
1 Corinthians 15:51-55 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? I have not read the Left Behind Series. But the Bilbe makes it clear that when the event occurs that happens in 1 Corinthians 15 (rapture would be a quicker way of saying it but for those that take offense to using the word rapture I have adopted "The event the occurs in 1 Corinthians 15" sort of wordy especially if you have to say it several times) When this even occurs, it clearly states that our current bodies are glorified into eternal bodies. So we will rise up in perfect glorified bodies. This was not a new doctrine, but Paul was expounding and making clear what was already prophesied but shrouded in mystery in some Old Testament prophets. Whether this occurs at the beginning or more judgements being poured out on the earth, or whether this event in 1 Corinthians 5 occurs after all judgment has been poured out is more like another topic, let us never ever say that the event in 1 Corinthians 15 will not occur or is some spiritualization for being born again, or say it is when an atom bomb drops on us, let us make at least a dogmatic stand that a supernatural event will occur for some generation of believers at some point when they will not die but be instantly made perfect WITHOUT DYING and rise in glorifed Bodies and ever be with the Lord. If any man says this will not happen, consider him unqualifed to teach on eschatology at all. |

134 | Lastday, Who was "standing HERE"? | Mark 9:1 | Scribe | 42981 | ||
The "some standing here" are Peter, James, and John Mark 9:1-3 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. What Jesus is saying is that " I am about to show you what the power of the coming of Jesus Christ at his second coming will be like." so he takes them up to the mountian and they see him Transfigured as bright as the sun This is exactly what happens to the saint when they are changed in a twinkling of an eye and rise to meet the Lord. At that moment they will partake of His glory. Not a disappearing from view but a transfiguration It says we are changed in a twinkling not that we dissapear from view in a twinkling. This is the only part of the rapture doctrine I have an issue with. I believe this does happen prior to the Wrath of God poured out on wicked mankind, but the world sees us rise in glory. It will be an glorious vindication. Also the devil will try to stop it by arguing that we do not have a right to miss out on death because of sin. Michael will war with satan in the heavenly (spiritual realm) which we will enter into, and then Michael will point to the legal justification of the Cross and Christ as why we can miss death. The devil will be cast down from the spiritual realm of the power of the air that he now has access to and will then seek to posses the anti christ (speculation on my part). The saints rise and the heavenly host praises God that we have overcome the accuser that accused us night and day by the blood of the lamb and by our testimony of the Word (being born again of the word of God). Now look at this that Peter says, Peter who was there when Jesus said "here be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power." This same Peter that then saw that power on the mount... says this.. 2 Peter 1:16-17 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 2 Peter 1:18-19 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 1 Peter 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 1 Peter 5:1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Daniel 12:1-3 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. Do you see it? Hallelujah! May God Bless you in the Study of his Word. |

136 | How does Dan 12:1-3 relate to Mar 9:1? | Mark 9:1 | Scribe | 43169 | ||
Wait. Please read this carefully. 2 Peter 1:16-18 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the POWER AND COMING of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. Do you see that Peter says that what he observed on the mount was a type of the POWER and COMING of the Lord? NOW look again... Mark 9:1-2 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God COME with POWER. And after six days Jesus taketh with him PETER, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. Peter has told you what Jesus was meaning by this statement "some of you standing here will see the POWER and COMING" I know it sort of passes over our heads at first reading but when You see Peter explain it then it is no longer in question. There is no reason to wonder about what Jesus meant when Peter tells you. This is not my own interpretation. Look it up you will find most logical commentaries treat this the same way. If not the writer did not know the bible very well. This is very simple to understand. May God bless you in your study of His Word. |

No. John saw the Power of the Coming when he saw Jesus transfigured in the next verse. The saints will be transifigured like this when the Lord Comes. | ||||||
138 | How does Daniel 12:1-3 relate? (2) | Mark 9:1 | Scribe | 43329 | ||
Daniel 12:1-3 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. It applies because when the rapture occurs we are changed and shine like the sun as Jesus did on the mount and we rise, This it the coming of the Lord with Power. |

140 | Please explain this verse? | Mark 9:1 | Scribe | 85844 | ||
Mark 9:1-3 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. 2 Peter 1:16-18 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. Peter says that he saw the Glory and Majesty of the Coming of the Lord in Power when he saw Him transfigured on the holy mount. So we know from that, that Jesus was saying that the some of them was Peter James and John. They saw in the transfiguration and type of what we all will partake of when we are changed in a twinkling and are glorified and rise and meet the Lord in the air when Jesus comes again. |
