No Greater Burden Acts 15:22-29 English Standard Version 22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers, 23 with the following letter: The brothers, both the apostles and the elders, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greetings. 24 Since we have heard that some persons have gone out from us and troubled you with words, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no instructions, 25 it has seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26 men who have risked their lives for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth. 28 For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no greater burden than these requirements: 29 that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell. * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Why are you trying to make these Gentiles obey the Jewish laws you abandoned?"

124 | part b any known reason ,precept? | Ex 23:19 | kalos | 181690 | ||
According to THE CHUMASH*: 'R'Hirsch suggests a reason for the prohibition and for its insertion in this passage (Exodus 23:19). Meat represents the animal portion of life, the muscle and sinew. Milk represents the reproductive capacity of animal life, for milk is the nourishment that supports new life. In animals, these two aspects of life are inseparable; animals instinctively eat and reproduce. Man has a higher calling. He must not mingle these aspects of his nature. To the contrary, he must learn to differentiate between his activities and -- primarily -- to subjugate them all to his duty to grow in the service of God and to put Godliness into all his activities. This higher duty is symbolized in the prohibition against mixing milk and meat. Its proximity to the laws of the festivals and the first fruits conveys the teaching that one who succumbs to his animal instincts destroys the holy nature of the seasons and God's blessings of prosperity.' ____________________ *THE CHUMASH (The Torah: With A Commentary Anthologized From the Rabbinic Writings), The Stone Edition, Mesorah Publications, Ltd., Brooklyn, New York, Copyright 1998, 2000. |

The closest thing to what you asked about is in the apocrypha*. 1 Maccabees 1:44-49 New American Bible** The king (Antiochus) sent messengers with letters to Jerusalem and to the cities of Judah, ordering them to follow customs foreign to their land; to prohibit holocausts, sacrifices, and libations in the sanctuary, to profane the sabbaths and feast days, TO DESECRATE THE SANCTUARY and the sacred ministers, to build pagan altars and temples and shrines, TO SACRIFICE SWINE and unclean animals, to leave their sons uncircumcised, and to let themselves be defiled with every kind of impurity and abomination, so that they might forget the law and change all their observances.

131 | Is speaking in tongues for today? | Acts 2:38 | kalos | 181633 | ||
Baptized, indwelt, filled Question: Do BAPTIZED BY, INDWELT BY, and FILLED WITH the Holy Spirit mean the same thing? Answer: No, they do not mean the same thing. Being BAPTIZED BY the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:13) is not the same as being being INDWELT BY the Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:9) and neither is the same as being FILLED WITH the Holy Spirit (Eph. 5:18). Let the Word of God show us the difference between the biblical terms baptized, filled and indwelt. 1) BAPTIZED At the time of our salvation we are *baptized* (placed) into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:13). NASB 1 Corinthians 12:13 For BY one Spirit we were all BAPTIZED into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. AMPLIFIED 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by [means of the personal agency of] one [Holy] Spirit we were all, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, baptized [and by baptism united together] into one body, and all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit. 2) INDWELT Also, at the time of our salvation, we are *indwelt* by the Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:9). NASB Romans 8:9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God DWELLS in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. AMPLIFIED Romans 8:9 But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God [really] dwells within you [directs and controls you]. But if anyone does not possess the [Holy] Spirit of Christ, he is none of His [he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God]. [Rom. 8:14.] 3) FILLED We are also commanded to be *filled* with the Spirit (Eph. 5:18). Eph. 5:18 'be filled with the Spirit. Paul has taught in this epistle that all believers are sealed with the Spirit when they believe (Eph. 1:13-14; 4:30), but not all are filled, since that depends on yieldedness to God's will (5:17). 'Filling' describes an experience that can be repeated (Acts 2:4; 4:31), and here, as in Acts, it is connected with joy, courage, spirituality and Christian character' (Ryrie Study Bible: Expanded Edition, note at Eph. 5:18). *filled with the Holy Spirit.* "In contrast to the baptism with the Spirit, which is the one-time act by which God places believers into His Body (1 Cor 12:13), the filling is a repeated reality of Spirit-controlled behavior that God commands believers to maintain. Peter and many others in Acts 2 were filled with the Spirit again (e.g., Acts 4:8,31; 6:5; 7:55) and so spoke boldly the Word of God. The fullness of the Spirit affects all areas of life, not just speaking boldy (compare Eph 5:19-33)" (p. 1635, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997) Amplified Ephesians 5:18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be FILLED and stimulated with the [Holy] Spirit. And the evidence of being filled with the Spirit? Amplified Ephesians 5:19-20 Speak out to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, offering praise with voices and making melody with all your heart to the Lord, at all times and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father.

132 | Difficulty understanding Deutronomy 23:1 | Deut 23:1 | kalos | 181612 | ||
Yes, you understand it correctly. Such a person "may not enter the assembly of the Lord." The NET Bible Deut. 23:1 A man with crushed[1] or severed genitals[2] may not enter the assembly of the Lord. 1tn Heb “bruised by crushing,” which many English versions take to refer to crushed testicles (NAB, NRSV, NLT); TEV “who has been castrated.” 2tn Heb “cut off with respect to the penis”; KJV, ASV “hath his privy member cut off”; English versions vary in their degree of euphemism here; cf. NAB, NRSV, TEV, NLT “penis”; NASB “male organ”; NCV “sex organ”; CEV “private parts”; NIV “emasculated by crushing or cutting.” http://www.bible.org/netbible/index.htm |

133 | Which version to memorize | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 181576 | ||
I agree with Doc in that if I were just starting out to memorize Scripture, the English Standard Version would probably be my first choice. However, I'm not just starting. I began memorizing verses in the King James Version in 1957. No use changing horses in the middle (or, in my case, near the end) of the stream. Grace to you, John |

The LORD spoke again to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them, Lev. 11:1 NASB Why is the bat listed with birds? Who is speaking in this passage? According to Lev. 11:1, it is the LORD who is speaking. Why did the LORD list the bat with birds? I don't know. He has not seen fit to explain why He did it. |

136 | Court system/raising your children? | Rom 13:1 | kalos | 181338 | ||
Do Christians have to obey the laws of the land? (Source: http://www.gotquestions.org/laws-land.html) 'Answer: Romans 13:1-7 states: "Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor." 'That passage makes it abundantly clear. We are to obey the government God places over us. God created government to establish order, punish evil, and promote justice (Genesis 9:6; 1 Corinthians 14:33; Romans 12:8). We are to obey the government in everything - paying taxes, obeying rules and laws, showing respect, etc. If we do not, we are ultimately showing disrespect towards God, for He is the One who placed that government over us. When the Apostle Paul wrote Romans 13:1-7, he was under the government of Rome, during the reign of Nero, perhaps that most evil of all the Roman Emperors. Paul still recognized that government’s rule over him. How can we do any less? 'The next question is: "Is there a time when we should not obey the laws of the land?" The answer to that question may be found in Acts 5:27-29, "Having brought the apostles, they made them appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest. 'We gave you strict orders not to teach in this Name,' he said. 'Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's blood.' Peter and the other apostles replied: 'We must obey God rather than men!'" 'From this, we can plainly see that as long as the law of the land does not contradict the law of God, we are bound to obey. As soon as the law of the land contradicts God's command, we are to disobey the law of the land, and obey God's law. However, even in that instance, we are to accept the government’s authority over us. This is demonstrated by the fact that Peter and John did not protest being flogged, but instead rejoiced that they suffered for obeying God (Acts 5:40-42).' (Source: http://www.gotquestions.org/laws-land.html) Peter and John were ready to pay the price for disobeying the authorities. Are you? If the court were to take custody of a child and that child's parent disobeyed the court's order, then I don't see how the parent could raise the child when the parent is in jail for contempt of court. Grace to you, John |

137 | Church for believers only? | Acts 2:39 | kalos | 181330 | ||
The doors of the church are open to anyone and everyone. Church membership, however, is open only to those who are born again. The church is the body of Christ -- believers who are in union with Christ. Unregenerate people will never be part of the body of Christ unless and until they are born again. | ||||||
138 | SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 181329 | ||
FytRobert, The same scriptural principles apply equally to the prayers of both criminals and non-criminals. Anything that hinders our communication with God, such as unconfessed sins, is an obstacle to prayer. If the criminal is saved, God will hear his prayers just as He would the prayers of any other saved person. But if he is not saved, God is under no obligation to hear him. “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor his ear heavy, that it cannot hear, but your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear” (Isaiah 59:1-2). “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me” (Psalms 66:18). The Good News is the Bible also says, 'That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved...for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." Romans 10:9,13 NASB What do we mean by "answered prayer"? 'Many people view an “answered prayer” as God granting a prayer request that is offered to Him. If a prayer request is not granted, it is often understood as an unanswered prayer. However, this an incorrect understanding of prayer. God answers every prayer that is lifted to Him. What we have to remember is that sometimes God answers "no" or "wait." 'God only promises to grant our prayers when we ask according to His will. 1 John 5:14-15 tells us, “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of Him' (gotquestions.org) Who should pray for him -- the criminal himself or other people? 'For each one will bear his own load' (Galatians 6:5 NASB). 'Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2 NASB).' So who should pray? Both the criminal and other people. Grace to you, John |
