121 | leave when violent..? | Mal 2:16 | greentwiga | 144083 | ||
I married an apparent believer, one who even went through Bible school. I saw the danger signs and ignored them to get married. very destructive relationship. Out and remarried after ten years single. I studk with God's plan this time and just praise him. He blesses you if you just hold to his word and wait on His timing. Greentwiga |

122 | swine | Matt 7:6 | greentwiga | 145075 | ||
Try bribing a swine with pearls. He isn't interested. He will look at what you offered, see it is useless to him and trample it underfoot. Then enraged, turn and see you are good to eat. Similarly, people who have sought refuge in a church, thinking a statue or or cross will protect them will see the mob outside says that wooden cross so precious to you in just cheap firewood to us, and then attack. If you have had some special blessing from God and seek to bare your heart to an unbeliever, He will trample it. greentwiga |

123 | Where does it say that? | Mark | greentwiga | 141542 | ||
Even if you found the exact quote, one must be careful to see if it meant that idea in the original greek of Hebrew. An example is the commandment thou shall not kill. The connotation in Hebrew is thou shall not murder. This might allow for capital punishment for example. On your subject, I found related ideas that might mean the same, though they use different words. Another version I heard is "God cannot abide with sin." again, not in the Bible. Isa 59:2 Your iniquities have separated you from your God. Ps 15:1 Who may dwell in your sanctuary? He whose walk is blameless. You might be able to find other related verses especially if you use synonyms for sin (iniquity, evil, wickedness, etc.) Greentwiga |

124 | history of Mary Magdalene? | Luke | greentwiga | 141146 | ||
There is very little. Luke 8:2 Mary had 7 demons cats aou and was one of 3 specifically mentioned that supported the disciples. in Luke 24:10 Mary M, Joanna and Mary mother of James prepare spices, meet the Angels and report to the 11. In Matt 27:60-28:11 the two Marys watched the body get laid in the tomb, and met Jesus after meeting the angels. Mark 15:40-16:11 repeats this but adds that a bunch of women watched the crucifixion including the two Marys. John 19:25 and 20:1-18 repeats the story in a little different order and has the touching scene of her cryingand clinging? to him and being told not to but to go to the disciples. There is no other mentions of Mary M. The belief that Jesus married parallels too closely the Tammuz typ of stories. This is the God that marries a woman dies and is born to her. Frequently the "church" allowed other beliefs to be rewritten to sound Christian and thus make Christianity acceptable to the pagans. The end of the book, the DaVinci Code admits to this pagan source when it has the couple perform a ancient pagan fertility rite. Stick to what the Bible says, which is very little. She was a disciple, no more, no less. Greentwiga |

125 | The things concerning this Child. | Luke 2:16 | greentwiga | 141148 | ||
I see in your profile that you are interested in capitalization. Remember the ancient greew was written differently. itwaswrittenwithnospacesitwaswrittenwithnocapitals punctuationwasalsomissinglikethesesentences Capitals for pronouns for God and Jesus is thus an invention of the English translators. To me, if it was not in the original greek, it is not an issue. Greentwiga |

what is the issue is the diety of christ, which is true. he is god with us. these are scriptural issues. the sweet savor of the crucified and ressurected christ and him living in us is what draws people to christ. that is my focus. greentwiga |

Thanks again. I do not care if people want to capitalize. I just do not make it into theology. Greentwiga |

129 | Baby or baby (continued)? | Luke 2:16 | greentwiga | 141178 | ||
Duly noted. I can get carried away when emphasizing something. It is the others feelings that are important. I once had a small Bible I carried in my hip pocket. It was not a problem until a Muslim say me remove it and was aghast for the lack of reverence. I never put it back there again. Greentwiga |

130 | Baby or baby (continued)? | Luke 2:16 | greentwiga | 141193 | ||
God Bless you brother. I personally do not reverence the paper and ink, but the original greek and Hebrew. I do honor those who wish to put the book on top or in the pocket nearest the heart. I give respect to the word, and worship the Word. Thanks for the fun chewing over capitalization. Greentwiga |

I have sola scriptura bookmarked on my isp. I see you like it also. I like your statement about the problems with our understanding. I am researching the book of Genesis big time. It opens your eyes to stick to the original words. Blessings Greentwiga |

132 | joseph, David, Jesus 30 years old. | Luke 3:23 | greentwiga | 143026 | ||
What is the question? Jesus was "about 30," probably 36 if we go by the 6BC census. The Bible frequently does not say about when quoting years like David, but sometimes shows that it was a rounded number. Joseph was 30 when he entered Pharaoah's wervice but may have been 50 when the years of the dream started, or when Jacob entered. greentwiga |

133 | am I saved | John | greentwiga | 141118 | ||
There are several ways of answering your Question. Some like John 6:37 Whoever comes to Me, I will never drive away. Others John 10:28-9 No one can snatch them out of My/God's hand. Heb 10:14 is a favorite. by one sacrifice, He has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. Notice after Jesus makes us perfect, He then proceeds to make us holy. All christians, after being saved, will still sin. John gives the signs of being saved in 1 John (1 John 5:13) He gives about 25 signs, including the need to confess sins. Finally, use logic. If we lost our salvation each time we sinned, how could we have peace? God gives perfect peace. Keep confessing sins and watch Him work in your life. | ||||||
134 | want to no the right way to understand t | John | greentwiga | 141624 | ||
Start with the books aimed at the young Christian. The Gospel of Jophn was written so you might believe. The letter of first John was written so you misht know you are saved. Other Gospels are also great places to start. The books of Romans, Hebrews, Revelation, and Some of the Old Testament books are much more difficult. Save them for later. When you are ready, God will give you a joy in those books. Psalms and Proverbs would be good Old Testament books after you read the Gospels. greentwiga |

135 | Did Mary Magdalene see the risen Christ | John | greentwiga | 141683 | ||
There are some confusing details, to be sure. Mark - Mary M watched watched the cruxification, Followed Joseph to see where Jesus was laid. The went to the tomb early and met an Angel and left. In Luke, they meet two angels and leave to tell the disciples. In John they see the empty tomb and tell the disciples. in both Mark and John, after telling the eleven, they (inc Mary M) meet Jesus. Only on the second visit are they said to cry. In Matt, Mary M and another go to the tomb and meet an Angel. Here the womenrun to tell the disciples. Suddenly Jesus appears. This can be read that Jesus appeared before or after they told the disciples. Reading it to be after agrees with the other three Gospels.The next mention of the disciples is going to Galilee. Their visit to the tomb would better fit before Jesus appeared to the Women. Therefore, it was on the second visit. Greentwiga |

136 | Did Mary Magdalene see the risen Christ | John | greentwiga | 141789 | ||
Very good. It is smart to watch for people choosing the most awkward interpretation and then complaining about the Bible. We are warned about such people in books like the pastoral epistles Greentwiga |

137 | What language did Jesus use? Read? Quote | John | greentwiga | 142527 | ||
When Jesus quoted the Hebrew Bible on the cross, people thought he was saying elijah. Only th most scholarly, apparantly spoke Hebrew. Greek was the trade language, much like English is in Kenya or India, or Sweden. Still that is not the daily language of any one group. When among all aramaic speakers, such as the disciples, some of whom wrote in atrocious greek, the best communication would be in Aramaic. When one has a choice between a habrew text that none understand, and a greek text that most understand somewhat, it makes best sense to quote the greek. That is how I understand the clues in the Gospel greentwiga |

138 | How does God speak today? | Acts 9:4 | greentwiga | 142178 | ||
Link that to Num 12:6-8 God revealed himself in visions and dreams (various ways or many portions) but to Moses he spoke face to face. Even many prophets never talked to God. also see in Heb 1 verse two, that now he spoke to us through Jesus. Also remember, If any voice you hear contradicts scripture, you must never listen to it again, the same if you hear a prophecy and it does not come true. See the commands about false prophets in the books of Moses. Greentwiga |

139 | He has spoken to me, How about you? | Acts 9:4 | greentwiga | 142262 | ||
Notice that I quoted a verse to show that God does change the way he interacts when your were trying to show that He always remains the same (which He does) Then I allowed that He could have spoken to you and just quoted guidelines. Just because He communicates to you differently than me doesn't make much difference to me.He works powerfully in my life as I am sure he does in yours. As an answer, No He has never spoken audibly to me. Bro' Douglas |

140 | can you please explain this verse? 20? | Rom 9:19 | greentwiga | 141458 | ||
Thi is getting to the heart of the debate free will vs predestination. Books have been written on this subject. This is not asking God a simple question, but questioning God's ability to make judgements. Was it really our free choice to get saved, or was it God who opened our hearts? After Rom 8, Paul is leading to Rom 12. Esp vs 1 and 2. I urge you, in view of God's mercy. Ie, in view of God's mercy to choose us (Rom 9:16) The questions are in this context. Greentwiga |
