121 | if adam had not sinned does death exists | Bible general Archive 4 | G. Preston | 231570 | ||
No. Let's be reminded that the Bible says..."it is appointed unto man once to die". |

122 | Everybody dies with recent sins | Bible general Archive 4 | G. Preston | 231568 | ||
Allow me to extend my point; Everyone has their pattern for asking forgiveness. For example; I ask morning and night,also, during the day when I recognize I have sinned. After many years G-d knows my plan...therefore ...should I suddenly be taken...illness or accident...He knows that I would have again asked for forgiveness....except that I did not have time to do so. He imputes forgiveness.(This was demonstrated by Him... imputing forgiveness... of the thief on the cross at His crucifixion) This is a common sense thing. G-d Himself determines when and how we end this physical life. Remember it is His desire that no one perish. |

123 | Bible tampered with?? plz help | Bible general Archive 4 | G. Preston | 231567 | ||
Would you mind shareing with us an example of what you consider ..."tampering"...? | ||||||
124 | Do you go to hell if you kill yourself | Bible general Archive 4 | G. Preston | 231547 | ||
To my knowledge...IT doesn't. Killing is a sin. How can you seek forgiveness for the sin since you would be dead? This is a common sense thing...... which is asked often. |

125 | no joy,no strength | Job 1:1 | G. Preston | 231507 | ||
Your experience is heart wrenching...at least. May I suggest you study the book of Job. While doing that be keenly aware that G-d said Job was ..."a perfect servant"....to my knowledge the only one G-d made that level of reference about in the Bible. Remember, G-d tells us that he will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can handle...with His help thru prayer. He even tells us we may have to give our life itself for following him. Also remember it is satan's effort to thwart our following of Christ. There are good christian social counselors which can help. Seek them out. Stay resolute in Christ to the end. |

126 | Job 1.6 - God's court | Job 1:1 | G. Preston | 231503 | ||
If you mean "his"..satan's...NO! Satan is allowed to attack...ONLY...should an act fits G-d's plan for that person. The magnitude/level of attack is determined by our Father. Study Job 1;7 and two further episodes in following chapters of Job....demonstrating this point. |
||||||
127 | cast to earth as punishment? | Is 1:1 | G. Preston | 231501 | ||
Yes. Generally...it appears that Lucifer was G-d's...oh...executive vice-president(earthly term). Ego kicked in and he attempted the take over of the Great White Throne position(G-d's). He was defeated with the Bible saying..."his home was found in Heaven no more"....along with a part of his angels. There are many references which paint this picture. You may wish to go thru the Bible looking for all of them and the side benefit is that you will finish not only knowing all the Bible has to say about the topic but, will be learning much about scriptures over all. |

128 | When did Lucifer fall? | Is 1:1 | G. Preston | 231476 | ||
See Isaiah 14,12,1-32 Luke 10,18, Exekel 28, 13,14,15,16. Jude 6. If you are looking for a time frame when Lucifer and part of his angels were thrown down from Heaven I am not aware that the Bible gives us that. It appears that Lucifer is the only Angel that had his own group of angels assigned to him. It is interesting to note that Lucifer to earth as Satan never had his great powers removed ....just controlled. We see that in the book of Job when G-d contained Satans' level of power application as it would affect Job. |

129 | Plan for people who will never be saved? | NT general | G. Preston | 231466 | ||
Yes. G-d has a plan for those folks...it is called eternal damnation per the Bible. Each individual is offered eternal salvation based on rules clearly presented by G-d's word. If we do not follow the requirements we write ourselves off. |
||||||
130 | Will ALL of Israel be saved? | Revelation | G. Preston | 231370 | ||
I believe Romans refers to the Country of Israel not all individual Israelis. Some say that G-d rejected Israelis in allowing the Holocost to occur. Not so. G-d rejects no one (other than commiting the un-pardonable sin)but,calls all to repent, be baptised and live a righteous life. Many things in history has occured which would lead some to conclude G-d has rejected Israelis. They will continue to indure much hardship. The country of Israel will prevail...ultimately . Accepting all Israelis will be saved is to void the scripture ...."no man comes to My Father but by me"....Jews reject the Christ as Messiah. Can G-d grant special forgiveness to them?...yes. ...He is omnificent. But, I don't find support for such forgiveness in the Bible. |
||||||
131 | Will ALL of Israel be saved? | Revelation | G. Preston | 231324 | ||
There are Israeli(Hebrew) Christians which by definition believes and follows Christ.(As Hebrew...I am one) The contempory Israeli Jew does not believe that Christ was/is the Messiah. They believe He is yet to come...the first time. The Bible is clear...."no one comes to my Father but by Me(Christ)".....(Repentance,Baptism-acknowledging the shed blood of Christ-and living a righteous life). It is sad but, one must conclude that those Israelis will be lost. I hasten to point out that there are some Bible practitioners who believe (i.e John Hagee)that a special dispensation will be applied to the jew for salvation purposes. However, I am unable to find justification anywhere in scriptures and therefore respectfully cannot accept that teaching. But, like the thief on the cross...."he was forgiven"...at the last moment. Christ has that power to apply and His act of doing such would be righteous. Further, I must point out that a true Jew is a G-d fearing person and is devout in their Godly lifestyles and practices as defined by the Old Testament. May I ask...what is your stand on the question? |

132 | Is it o.k. to drink a glass of wine? | Eph 5:1 | G. Preston | 231290 | ||
Sorry for delay. From an analysis of the Bible on drinking.. I offer a partial quote for your review; ....."Drunkenness is condemned in the Bible Isaiah 5,11, Proverbs 23,20, Romans 13,13, Galatians 5,19,21, Ephesians 5,18 Drunkards will not inherit the Kingdom of God 1 Corinthians 6,9,10 The fact is that the Bible clearly condemns drunkenness. Drunkenness is a serious matter. 2. The Bible condemns strong drink Proverbs 20,1, Isaiah 5,11, Proverbs 23,29,30,31 What was strong drink in Bible times? Distillation was not discovered until about 1500 A.D. Strong drink and unmixed wine in Bible times was from 3 to 11 percent alcohol. Therefore, since anybody in biblical times who drank unmixed wine (9-11 percent alcohol) was definitely considered a barbarian, then it is obvious that a Christian should not drink hard liquor at all. Christians should not drink strong drink. Since wine has 9 to 11 percent alcohol and one brand 20 percent alcohol, you should not drink that. Brandy contains 15 to 20 percent alcohol and hard liquor has 40 to 50 percent alcohol (80 to 100 proof), and that is obviously excluded...." There are many references to drink/wine in both the Old and New Testaments. A procedure I began several years ago was to select a topic and peruse the Bible and note any reference to the chosen topic. While I was gathering all the Bible had to say about that topic...I found a overall improvement of my Bible understanfding. Let me know If need for further response to your question...I will try to be more prompt. \ |

133 | Seeing God? | Ex 33:20 | G. Preston | 230199 | ||
If you are a Christian you walk with God every day without seeing him. But, I attest to feeling His presence with the help he gives me. | ||||||

136 | Film clips during service- appropriate?? | 2 Tim 3:16 | G. Preston | 230134 | ||
Your concerns are worthy. We devote time for service to God and all else must be forsaken during that time/process. Using supportive scripture clips for a message should be appropriate for illustration purposes and are effective to make a point. I use them in sunday school teachings. I also have concerns of some congregations' infusion of entertainment efforts during service. I just don't participate in such. |

137 | what does matthew 5:2 mean | Matt 5:2 | G. Preston | 230133 | ||
A generic/symbolic reference to speak. | ||||||
138 | Is it o.k. to drink a glass of wine? | Eph 5:1 | G. Preston | 230132 | ||
The Bible does not prohibit a glass of wine. But,not to drunkedness and not if you are a leader in the Church, then the answer is no. Don't interpret that to mean a hard drink, that is prohibited. There are other references. |

139 | Crusifixtion a sacrafice? John 3:16 | Bible general Archive 4 | G. Preston | 223646 | ||
Some would say there is an attempt at spin here. A no no. He sacrificed His physical life for your and my sin...not his. |
||||||
140 | Crusifixtion a sacrafice? John 3:16 | Bible general Archive 4 | G. Preston | 223625 | ||
CDBJ, Excellent analysis. Just to augment; ...'It is finished"...carries a mush greater meaning than His physical life is ...'finished'. I doubt that was the motovation for the statement. But, rather, His assignment, penalty-pre-determined, was...'finished'..completed....accomplished...achieved, mastered and sealed. I do have trouble with your concluding theory however. To suggest He experienced ...'spiritual'... death conflicts with the meaning of the second death because of sinfulness. He never sinned. I submit,separation of the spirit from the body does not signify a death process of the spirit. The spirit is eternal... be it saved or condemed, which the Bible refers to as the..'second death'. |
