121 | were all apostles writers | NT general | stjohn | 216701 | ||
Hi Mimmie, No, not all of the twelve (if thats what you mean) were writers of the Gospel. John Mark, and Dr. Luke, were not, and many of the twelve Apostles did not write anything that was recorded in the Holy Writ. Matthew, John, Peter, and Paul, (many include Paul, myself included) were the only Aposels that wrote in the Bible. John |

122 | more on the sin god hates? | Prov 9:10 | stjohn | 216695 | ||
Perhaps, and because that we do not know someone's heart, as only God does, we should focus more on the fact we are all sinners, in desperate need of a saviour, and not so much on His love for everyone, because this can lead some to a false hope, and, thus, resulting in a halfhearted conversion ("The 'fear' of the Lord in the beginning of wisdom" Proverbs 9:10, Psalm 111:10 ) Very dangerous to not understand reverence by the way, and the Churches today are full of those who don't understand the nature of their sin and indeed the nature of all men, in that we are not righteous at all, but only that righteousness in imparted only to those who believe in the Sacrifice of Jesus for our sins. He will fearsomely and eternally judge those who refuse His gift of salvation. Personally, I was told all my life how much God loved me, but it wasn't until I truly feared and revered Him that my heart turned to Him for forgiveness, and then received the free gift of salvation and a new birth. By the way, please click on note, it's not necessary to click on question to continue the tread, that way it's much easier for everyone to follow along. :-) John |

123 | Does god hate one that doesn't believe | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 216692 | ||
LovemyLord, This is indeed a difficult dichotomy for our finite human minds to grasp, but Scripture does say that God hates some people, though John 3:16 says He so loved the world. John Gill puts it this way: "Ver. 16. For God so loved the world,.... The Persic version reads "men": but not every man in the world is here meant, or all the individuals of human nature; for all are not the objects of God's special love, which is here designed, as appears from the instance and evidence of it, the gift of his Son: nor is Christ God's gift to every one; for to whomsoever he gives his Son, he gives all things freely with him; which is not the case of every man. Nor is human nature here intended, in opposition to, and distinction from, the angelic nature; for though God has showed a regard to fallen men, and not to fallen angels, and has provided a Saviour for the one, and not for the other; and Christ has assumed the nature of men, and not angels; yet not for the sake of all men, but the spiritual seed of Abraham;" -Gill http://www.freegrace.net/gill/ I cant tell you that I fully understand it, because I don't, but I (we) just have to take some things on faith. (Deut 29:29) Here is something more that may help too: http://www.gotquestions.org/does-God-love-everyone.html John |

124 | god hates sin but loves the person | Ps 5:5 | stjohn | 216687 | ||
Hi Love... There is no such Scripture to attest to that, in fact, we see in Psalm 5:5, Mal 1:3, and Rom 9:13, that God indeed does not love sinners. He loves the believer that sins and is repentant (2 Cor 5:21) but does not love the reprobate, or unrepentant sinner, and will judge them righteously. I've read that that expression came form anywhere from Gandi the Hindu to, Ellen G. White the bazaro, unintelligible nut-case, (interestingly they were both heretics) so who knows where it came from, but it didn't come from the Bible. John |

There is no simple answer to that question. Why don't you ask Him? :-) You know, I was told by a wise old Pastor that, I didn't hear God's small voice talking to me, because I didn't shut up and listen. :-) | ||||||

Hi HR, If it's a thought that stirs our conscience to do good, or if the thought is convicting us of some sin we need to deal with; it sure isn't us or the devil doing the thinking. :-) "as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;" Rom 3:10 John |

Duplicate! Homework question! Dear bpayne01, It appears quite obvious that the brunt of your questions have looked a lot like homework questions! It is a crying shame, bpayne01, and a disgraceful dishonor to God, with so many good resources (available to everyone) on the internet, that so many students today are too lazy to do their own research!

131 | what is this verse talking about | 2 Cor 6:4 | stjohn | 216359 | ||
Hi FHeath, Welcome to the forum! Read the whole chapter, it should be self explanatory. What is being said is that in everything we go through, whether it be joy or sadness, pain, suffering, or contentment, good health and good times. As children of the Most High God we go through all things with Joy in knowing He is our strength to suffer the bad along with the good. The Bible doesn't teach, nor does God ever promise a bed of roses in this life and as long as we are in this world, but He does promise His Spirit will sustain us and more; because even in suffering, when we lean on Him, it's all good. V 10 "as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing yet possessing all things." John |

132 | Do you think there are any churches that | NT general | stjohn | 216354 | ||
Hi ww, Welcome to the forum! ww, this is not really a Bible study question, and this being a sola Scriptura (meaning, Scripture only) Bible study, some of the answers given to you do not follow this rule. There is nothing in the Bible, (i.e. Scripture) that would indicate that modern Messianic worship resembles what went on in the early Church. Those who tell you this are presupposing something that Scripture does not teach. The Bible tells us precious little of these details, and that's good! Otherwise we would just fallow the pattern and be far too comfortable, not ever taking a close look at the heart of the matter of our worship. John |

133 | understanding of these verses? | Jeremiah | stjohn | 216322 | ||
"This chapter contains threatenings to the Jewish governors, and to their priests and prophets, on account of their manifold sins; intermixed with gracious promises to the Lord's people, and particularly with a famous promise of the Messiah. The pastors or governors of Israel are charged with scattering and driving away the Lord's flock, for which they are threatened, Jeremiah 23:1; and a promise is made of the gathering of the remnant of them, and of setting up other shepherds over them, under whom they should increase, and be comfortable, Jeremiah 23:3;" John Gill "Jeremiah was called to speak to the people of Jerusalem during a revival under King Josiah and continued to speak to them during that city's final fall to the Babylonians. His task was to hammer home the message that Jerusalem's fall was not due to any lack on God's part but was due entirely to Judah's unfaithfulness toward God, specifically by listening to false prophets rather than true ones (with Deut. 18:15–22 in the background). Even this horrifying disaster, however, was not the end: Jeremiah foretold a return from exile, an everlasting covenant, and a new covenant in which God's people would at last embrace the covenant in their hearts. Israel and Judah would be reunited and finally fulfill their calling to bring light to the world." ESV Study Bible Notes |

134 | The date for James' writing. | James | stjohn | 216300 | ||
Hi vguz... It's held by many scholars that the council held in Jerusalem in A.D. 48-49 dealt with some of the issues that James wrote about, so that's why it's believed that James was written in the mid forties, or he would have mentioned the council. John |

137 | weep with others is more important? | Rom 12:15 | stjohn | 216221 | ||
Hi Azure, I agree with Brad M. Azure, I think it is sometimes more difficult to rejoice with others then it is to have empathy in their sorrow. Biblically, I'd say, since we often will find it difficult to rejoice, stemming not only from our own circumstances as far as whatever hard times that we may be going through, but, also, our pride, and petty human jealousies that we all sometimes have difficulty with. These things, especially when things are not going well for us, will make it hard to 'honestly' rejoice with others and, so doing, not reflect a Christ-likeness. So I'd say perhaps it would be, though the verse doesn't show this distinction, or comparison, but because of it's greater difficulty, more biblical to say that it is more important to rejoice with those who rejoice, then to weep with those who weep. My two cents John |

138 | "the two" and "one new man" refer to ? | Eph 2:15 | stjohn | 216189 | ||
Hi Azure, I think it means both groups. When read in context, I think that is pretty clear. John Gill wrote on verse 15: "Jews and Gentiles, one people, one body, one church; he united them together, and caused them to agree in one, and made them to be of one mind and judgment by the above methods; as well as he gathered them together in one, in one head, himself, who represented them all:" I believe it is written as one man, I suppose, because that that refers to one body, one blood, all in all, and all in Him. John |

139 | Two literal Bibles, what's different? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 216148 | ||
Hi Justme, Just my opinion here of course, but I'm asked to do Scripture readings -among other duties- on Sunday when we meat, and I often will chose one or the other just because I like the way one reads in certain passages better then the other one does. (sometimes I'll use the New KJV) But I think the NASB and the ESV are both very good translations. I think that the ESV most often just sounds better though, it seem to be more poetic, sorta like the KJV witch I think is the most beautifully written of them all. But the NASB of course is the most accurate as far as word for ward translation from the original language. When I'm preparing a lesson I will often read form several Bible translations, just to get a real good feel for the subject I'm studying. I'd have to say though, (Thanks to my pastor for purchasing it for me, and my apologies to Lockman) that the ESV study Bible -at this time- is my favorite, with the NASB not far behind. My 2 cents. :-) John |

140 | John 17:2 Use of third person? | John 17:2 | stjohn | 216114 | ||
Hey pk... You may also take note that the Words spoken by Jesus are in red. This indicates that they are indeed His words, simply spoken in the third person, they are also in quotation marks, another indication that they are the actual word spoken by Jesus. John |
