1221 | Send My messenger before Your face | 2 Tim 2:15 | prayon | 108979 | ||
Greetings Ray, In both Matthew and in Malichi we are looking for the messenger who is John the Baptist. "he will prepare the way before me". (see also Matt 3:3). My bible has messenger in both passages. prayon | ||||||
1222 | Send My messenger before Your face | 2 Tim 2:15 | prayon | 109146 | ||
Hi Ray, I am not sure. My NKJ has it in italics which to me would mean the same as Me. However, when you read it it does not make sense to put the name of Jesus in there. The only name that would fit in there is John the Baptist, but why would 'he' be italisized if it were John? prayon | ||||||
1223 | Criticize what no one understands? | 2 Tim 2:23 | prayon | 7634 | ||
"Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks" (Matt 1234b). I don't think that it is unfair to challenge another's assertions. Just as the bible can be interpreted in many ways so can many questions. What is important is how that we answer that question. We should always respond with respect for the other party. This is due any Christian whether we agree with them or not. If we answer it and have the entirely wrong interpretation of what was asked the author of the question has the duty to respond with a similar respect and restate the question. Who knows the answerer may learn something new and it could change their way of thinking and thus possibly their life. Their is also the option of the answerer asking the author to restate the question or ask is this truly what you were asking. |

1224 | Do you think US has these people? | 2 Tim 3:5 | prayon | 24690 | ||
coop1, It is in the human nature to want to kill someone who has wronged you so deeply as OBL has done to us. It is also human nature to "follow the crowd". Many people who are doing the "chanting" are doing it because everyone else is doing it. These are both the results of Adam taking a bite of the apple 6000 years ago. And it will get worse. The bible has been quite clear on that. Let me ask you a question - when the going gets rough in your personal life do you give up on God or start doubting him? The United States has taken a strong blow from some very evil men, and she has staggered a bit, but she will come out of this proud. What your son is partaking in is defending God and the right to honor God - and it didn't just become very evil and sinister. What is happening here is a war in spiritual places because Satan knows his time is about up. America had to go to war and I stand beside her 100 percent! I am not proud of some of the people in this country but I am proud of America! America is defending the right to be free to worship the way God has called us to worship not only for us Americans but for others as well. America is defending the right to "feed the poor". America is taking a stand in defending women and widows and orphans who should not be abused and disregarded but who should be loved and cared for. America is defending what the country was built upon - one nation under God, indivisible, with LIBERTY and justice for all. And to some that will mean the right to worship idols and false gods. But if America withdrew from this war or had never started it just where would we be? Probably being beaten for not worshiping Allah. How would we witness for our Lord then? prayon - a veteran |

1225 | Whole Bible flawed? | 2 Tim 3:16 | prayon | 8143 | ||
I second this! If we start wondering if the NT is flawed maybe we should start wondering if the OT is flawed too. We could also start wondering if the word is true at all or just some man made story! We are to believe and know on faith! Faith is the evidence of things not seen! We are told to have faith! Faith that the bible is truly the word of God without flaw. Faith that God is real. Faith that Jesus lived. NO the NT is not flawed - I know this because I have faith in God; that He was in total control of the bible and every word that went into it! Whoever believes that the NT is flawed does not believe in the power of God. Without believeing in the power of God can one truly be saved? |

Ok, You got me.... What does J,E,D, and P stand for? prayon | ||||||
1227 | Who believes the Bible? | 2 Tim 3:16 | prayon | 48905 | ||
Welcome Grace and Truth, I, too, believe that the bible is the inspired word of God. I believe it with all my life and stake my life and my soul on every word being true. What part of the bible would you like to talk about? prayon | ||||||

Greetings, Aniset missed mentioning the nost important thing - that the Bible is the Word of God pure and simple. prayon | ||||||
1229 | 'Reinvented' Gospel | 2 Tim 4:3 | prayon | 110168 | ||
Greetings New Creature, I too have to agree with the article. Too many pastors today are watering down the gospel to make it sound more appealing to people. It is so sad. Many people are not hearing the true word of God. There are a few reasons I believe that this is happening. 1) Pastors want large congregations and will do whatever it takes to get one. They know that if they step on people's toes that they are going to loose those people from their congregation. 2) Another reason is that some pastors do not want to loose their financial contributors. They feel that their church will go under if they do not have these people to give. What they don't understand is that if they would just trust in God they would be just fine. 3) Another thing is that they want popularity. preaching the true gospel is going to step on toes. These Pastors however in the end will have to answer to God for their watered down messages. prayon |

1230 | 3 things that are a must for ministers | Titus 1:7 | prayon | 22146 | ||
Greetings loveforHim! The first and most important thing is that you are called by God to be a minister. Next, you must have a Godly nature, you must be able to walk the walk - be a lover of goodness, and be upright, humble. Finally, you must have a firm grasp on the Word of God so that you can shepherd your flock and teach them in the ways of God. prayon |

1231 | 3 things that are a must for ministers | Titus 1:7 | prayon | 22352 | ||
Greetings CDBJ! I do agree that that is very important also. I was thinking in my response that if you weren't born of the spirit God would not call you into that ministry. I should of said TRULY called of God - not just think you were. prayon | ||||||
1232 | 3 things that are a must for ministers | Titus 1:7 | prayon | 22354 | ||
Yes I do. But would that come before truly being called? Or before a Godly nature? Or maybe before a firm grasp of the word? There are so many things that are a must for ministers I don't believe that you can limit it to just three. Also I think that the brokeness would go under being humble. You can't be humble unless you are broken daily or even once in a while. prayon | ||||||
1233 | What did Onesimus do? | Philemon | prayon | 8562 | ||
Onesimus was Philemin's slave. Onesimus ran away from his master. He meet Paul probably in Ephesus and was converted to Chrisianity. Onesimus had been useless (Philemon 11) but now he would live up to his name which means useful or profitable. Paul appealed to Philemon out of love to not kill Onesimus as was allowed when dealing with run away slaves, but to instead return him to Paul to serve Paul while imprisoned. Prayon | ||||||
1234 | What did Onesimus do? | Philemon | prayon | 8612 | ||
According to the Erdman's Bible Dictionary he stole from his master. In the letter Paul offers to pay Philemon back himself for any wrong. However in Vincent's word studies it just states that Onesimus had wronged his master and fled from him. | ||||||
1235 | 4 person in NT who had church at home | Philem 1:2 | prayon | 112004 | ||
Note: Greetings and welcome to the forum, I was able to find 3 of them for you but I can't seem to locate the other. Below these 3 are some possibles. 1Co 16:19 The churches in the province of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca and the church that meets in their house send their warmest Christian greetings. . Col 4:15 Greet our brothers and sisters in Laodicea, especially Nympha and the church that meets in her house. Phm 1:2 our sister Apphia, our fellow soldier Archippus, and the church that meets in your house. One of them would be where Eutychus was sitting in the window and fell out while Paul was preaching or at Cornelius' house. A third possible could be the prison guard that was converted after the earthquake at the jail. Another could be Lydia's house, Hope this helps, prayon |

1236 | Can I trust this Pastor? | Hebrews | prayon | 16848 | ||
Greetings Jensen! Do not use the fact that the pastor insists that Paul is the author dictate whether that is the church for you. He may be right - he may be wrong, no one knows. In looking for a church, especially being a new Christian, try a variety of churches that profess to be a bible believing, Word teaching church. When you get to a church that you feel comfortable in (or have a inner peace about) then that is where you belong. Just pray and ask God for His direction. Your spirit man (or the Holy Spirit that now lives in you) will direct you if you let him. If you feel uncomfortable then that is not where you should be - keep searching. You should definitly get involved in a good bible study also. No matter where you end up, in any church, always see if what the pastor teaches lines up with the word of God. prayon | ||||||
1237 | Loss of Salvation? | Hebrews | prayon | 20609 | ||
Greetings! Christ here is warning against hardness of heart that would make repentance inconceivable for the sinner. Anyone who deliberately turns his back on Christ is cutting themselves off from God's forgiveness. This includes those who returned to the Judaism. (footnotes in the Life Application Bible). prayon | ||||||
1238 | DO YOU SUMMARY OF HEBREWS 3? | Heb 1:1 | prayon | 4750 | ||
Could you be a little more specific, please, on what you would like to know concerning Hebrews chapter 3? Thanks prayon | ||||||
1239 | Is eternal life possible right now? | Heb 1:1 | prayon | 15571 | ||
First of all I think that you need realize that the bible says that we need to be in a church. It is impossible to serve the body (be a servant) if you are not in a body. It also sounds to me like you are judgeing pastors, churches, kalos, and those who speak in tongues. Who are you to judge? You can not say that those who "repeatedly babble" the same words are not truly speaking in tongues. I am sure that you do not know all the languges every used. You say repetitive - Is it not possible that they are repeating the same word over and over again as many do when they call out for Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. We are told in Matthew not to judge - We are also told to be humble. Forgive me but you sound awfully jugemental and vain in your post. |

1240 | I would like a personal opinion of this | Heb 4:12 | prayon | 175177 | ||
Greetings Mack, Although the Word is comforting and nourishing to those of us who believe, it is also a tool of judgement and execution for those who do not believe. It cuts through all the topical layers of our being and delves deep into our inner most being. He knows all and sees all and we will be accountable at the time of judgement. Sometimes when I just can't grasp the meaning of a verse it helps me to look at other translations. Here are a couple other wordings of the same verse. Message Bible: Heb 4:12 God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon's scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. God's Word: God's word is living and active. It is sharper than any two-edged sword and cuts as deep as the place where soul and spirit meet, the place where joints and marrow meet. God's word judges a person's thoughts and intentions. International Standard Version: For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul and spirit, joints and marrow, as it judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart. Hope this helps, prayon |
