141 | gates of heaven bible verse | 2 Cor 5:10 | BradK | 227146 | ||
Hello anovak, As you've worded your question, I'm not familiar with such a verse! Possibly you're referring to 2 Cor 5:10, "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad." (NASB) Additionally, you may want to read Rev. 20. Verse 11 says "Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them." I hope this helps, BradK |

142 | What does the bible say about the mind | 1 Cor 2:16 | BradK | 227126 | ||
Hello Tony, Two primary scripture come to my mind: First, Matt 22:37 "And He said to him, "'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND." Here we see we're to literally love the Lord with our "complete" heart, soul and mind. So, there is necessity of the intellect in our pursuit of God. Second, 1 Cor 2:16 "For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ." It should be instructive, that you can type in "Mind" in the Bible Text window on this site and reference all the related verses. This would allow you to do a basic word study on what the Bible says about the mind. I hope this helps, BradK |

144 | Luke 19 Story of ten servants! | Gen 1:1 | BradK | 227079 | ||
Hello pastorsd, Welcome to the Forum. You're asking a good question. The text in Luke 19:13 tells us, "And he called ten of his slaves, and gave them ten minas and said to them, 'Do business with this until I come back." Then, in verses 16, 18, and 20 were given the 3 accounts. Yet the parallel account in Matt. 25:14-15 says, "...called his servants and entrusted to them his property. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability." We're not given a specific number of servants. The inference here looks to be only three but maybe more. Scripture doesn't tell us or provide any other clues as to what happened to the other 7. So, my conclusion is that God, through the inspiration of Luke's account does not wish to relay any more details than the narrative contains. The point is not in the detail of "how many", but what each did with WHAT he was given! Luke 19:26 "I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away." I hope this helps, BradK |

147 | High handed sins | Num 15:30 | BradK | 226947 | ||
Hello Beja, I found a few resources that offer comment: John Gill’s Exposition of the Bible: “Numbers 15:30 But the soul that doeth [ought] presumptuously Or with "an high hand" F20, or through pride, as the Targum of Jonathan; in an haughty, insolent, bold and daring manner; in an obstinate, stubborn, self-willed way, with purpose and design, openly and publicly, neither fearing God nor regarding man: [whether he be] born in the land, or a stranger; here a stranger as well signifies a proselyte of the gate as a proselyte of righteousness; seeing this presumptuous sinning may respect idolatry and blasphemy, which sins were punishable in proselytes of the gate by the magistrates of Israel as well as by the immediate hand of God: the same reproacheth the Lord; by denying him to be the true Jehovah, by worshipping other gods, and by speaking in a blaspheming manner of him the true God; and indeed every presumptuous sin, which is committed in a bold and audacious manner, in contempt of God and defiance of his law, is a reproaching him the lawgiver, and a trampling upon his legislative power and authority: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people, either by the hand of the civil magistrate, upon conviction of him, or by the immediate hand of God; no sacrifice was to be offered for such, no atonement to be made or forgiveness to be had; see ( Matthew 12:31 Matthew 12:32 )." The Commentary Critical: 30. the soul that doeth aught presumptuously--Hebrew, "with an high" or "uplifted hand"--that is, knowingly, wilfully, obstinately. In this sense the phraseology occurs ( Exodus 14:8 , Leviticus 26:21 , Psalms 19:13 ). the same reproacheth the Lord--sets Him at open defiance and dishonors His majesty. Matthew Henry Commentary on the Whole Bible: “Here is, I. The general doom passed upon presumptuous sinners. 1. Those are to be reckoned presumptuous sinners that sin with a high hand, as the original phrase is (v. 30), that is, that avowedly confront God’s authority, and set up their own lust in competition with it, that sin for sinning-sake, in contradiction to the precept of the law, and in defiance of the penalty, that fight against God, and dare him to do his worst; see Job 15:25. It is not only to sin against knowledge, but to sin designedly against God’s will and glory. 2. Sins thus committed are exceedingly sinful. He that thus breaks the commandment, (1.) Reproaches the Lord (v. 30); he says the worst he can of him, and most unjustly. The language of presumptuous sin is, "Eternal truth is not fit to be believed, the Lord of all not fit to be obeyed, and almighty power not fit to be either feared or trusted.’’ It imputes folly to Infinite Wisdom, and iniquity to the righteous Judge of heaven and earth; such is the malignity of wilful sin.” I hope this helps, BradK |

Hello anne marie H, Allow me to repost #226263 in answer: "The 11th chapter of Hebrews provides the answer to what happened to the people who believed in God?: Heb 11:13 "All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth." (NASB) cf. 11:39-40 What qualified them to go?: Their faith! Heb. 11:1-2 tells us, "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval." Where are they now? They are in living in the fellowship and presence of God." I hope this helps, |

150 | World Peace? | Is 9:6 | BradK | 226806 | ||
Hello Lovemylord, 2 scriptures come to mind: Is 9:6 "For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace." (NASB) Eph 2:14 "For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall," There will be no true, lasting world peace until the Son of Man returns!

152 | Is common law marriage acceptable | Heb 13:4 | BradK | 226774 | ||
Hello always, Welcome to the Forum. I honestly don't see "common law marriage" being acceptable or otherwise supported by scripture. It's like playing house without any commitment before God or men! If Heb. 13:4 is any guide, we don't see it here: "Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge." (NASB) This doesn't refer to "common law marriage" but rather a union between man and woman! Further, Eph. 5:24 says, "But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything." (NASB) cf. 5:22. The biblical directive here is to "wives" and "husbands" One cannot be referred to as such without being officially married, can they? Possibly, Naves Topical Bible may be of some help (or use) in studying this? Here's the section from it titled, MARRIAGE. In family blood lines, Abraham and Sarah, Gen. 11:29; 12:13; 20:3, 9–16.

153 | Were Adam and Eve changed from Spiritual | Gen 3:21 | BradK | 226741 | ||
Hello TLWTay, Scripture simply says, in Gen. 3:21 "The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them." (NASB) the Commentary CriticaL observes, "21. God made coats of skins—taught them to make these for themselves. This implies the institution of animal sacrifice, which was undoubtedly of divine appointment, and instruction in the only acceptable mode of worship for sinful creatures, through faith in a Redeemer (Heb 9:22)." To say, "that their Spiritual beings were "covered' with flesh and that they were now BOUND to this physical life ???" would be to allegorize and go beyond the direct warrant of the text! I hope this helps, BradK |

155 | The gift of tongues | Eph 1:1 | BradK | 226696 | ||
Hello Crys, Let me give you a brief rebuttal: 1. The rest of scipture does not support you pastor's claim; Eph 1:13 clearly tells us, "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise" (NASB) 2. What of 1 Cor. 12:30? Here it states "All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they?" The Greek demands a negative answer, so no, not all (of us) are or will speak in tongues! I would much rather that someone exhibit "Love" than the gifts of tongues.. (cf 12:31, 13:1-4) I believe this to be Paul's point in 1 Cor. 12-14! 3. Gal. 5:22-23 is explicit: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." These are characteristices 'of the Spirit', they do not emanate from us or apart from "the Spirit" So one must have the Spirit to evidence these! 4. Using Acts 1 and 2 to support this notion is poor hermeneutics to say the least. Acts is a historical narrative in it's purpose, not a doctrinal book. Otherwise we should also support doctrines such as raising the dead, etc! While this may be a pet doctrine of your pastor and/or his denomination, it's short on solid historical biblical basis. He is simply not correct. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

157 | the world see's 3 raised from the dead | Rev 11:11 | BradK | 226629 | ||
Heelo Legs, I believe you may be referring to the 2 witnesses in Rev. 11? Clearly it's not the anti christ who raises them here, but God. Rev 11:8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. Rev 11:9 Those from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not permit their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. Rev 11:10 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. Rev 11:11 But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were watching them. I hope this helps, BradK |
