142 | Should I "count" this one? | John 4:27 | inmyheart | 69962 | ||
The names of religions and religious terms receive capital letters. We read a story from the "Bible" about "God" and "Moses". NOTE: Pronouns referring to God should be capitalized. Non-specific use of the word "god" should not be capitalized. *The Bible talks about God and "His" disciples. *The Egyptians worshipped many different "gods". Ray, I hope this answers your question. "You" is referring to the Deity, use upper case, you can get more info on the below site; http://www.sheridanc.on.ca/career/tips/capital.htm God bless! |

143 | difference of paradox and contradiction | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 69820 | ||
ford, There is a difference between paradox and contradiction. A contradiction is when at least two ideas, by their very definition, cannot coexist. For example, it is impossible for it to naturally be daytime and nighttime simultaneously in one location. Paradox, on the other hand, is when two ideas do coexist, when in fact one would have thought that they should not and could not. The basis of a paradox, therefore, is usually a lack of information that, more than likely, is the result of a faulty assumption. For example, one of the most profound paradoxes today is the one concerning the age of the world. Modern science through carbon testing and other methods have put the age of the world in the billions of years. Torah, on the other hand (according to Nachmanides), teaches that the world is under 6,000 years old. Assuming that the scientific data is accurate, and assuming that the world has always aged according to the same pattern, and assuming that time has always flowed according to the same measure, there is a paradox. How can the world be both billions of years old, and yet under 6,000 years old? Until recently the paradox was viewed as a contradiction. How then does one resolve a contradiction? They merely dismiss what seems to be the least credible side of the contradiction (for some that was Torah, and for others it was science), and accept only one viewpoint. Now when you figure this out, let me know :) God bless |

144 | I've sinned,can't pay no more, repented | Titus 1:6 | inmyheart | 69818 | ||
vonroskie, Proverbs 24:16 For a just [man] falleth seven times, and riseth again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. (1.) The righteous man, whose ruin was expected, recovers himself. He falls seven times into trouble, but, by the blessing of God upon his wisdom and integrity, he rises again, sees through his troubles and sees better times after them. The just man falls, sometimes falls seven times perhaps, into sin, sins of infirmity, through the surprise of temptation; but he rises again by repentance, finds mercy with God, and regains his peace. (2.) The wicked man, who expected to see his ruin and to help it forward, is undone. He falls into mischief; his sins and his troubles are his utter destruction. You are a leader! You know what to do! God Bless |

145 | What does Matthew 10:34-35 mean? | Matt 10:34 | inmyheart | 69816 | ||
pollywog, In Matthew 10:34-36 it says "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household." In all of Jesus' ministry, it is clear that He cared deeply for the entire human race. There are many incidents where He showed that he cared for families. The incident where He healed Peter's mother-in-law (Matt. 8:14-15), the incident where He raised the ruler's daughter (Matt. 9:24-26), the incident recorded in Luke 7:11-15 where He raised a dead man and presented him to his widowed mother, to name a few. In the message recorded in Matthew 10:34-36 He is simply predicting that anyone who follows Him can expect opposition, sometimes even from his own family. This is obviously referring to cases where the family members choose to continue following evil rather than God. There is no contradiction or discrepancies in the Bible. |

147 | Jesus | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 69544 | ||
No, it not wrong to assume that Jesus is God. Isaiah 7:14—"Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and shall call his name Immanuel" (Immanuel literally means "God with us"). Isaiah 9:6—"For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end...." Matthew 1:23—"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." John 1:1-3, 14—"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.... And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." This is but a few of many references concerning your question. The most important question facing individuals, families and nations is not "How do we stop the AIDS epidemic?" "How do we arrest global warming?" "How do we stimulate economic growth?" or even "How do we eliminate poverty?" The most important question is: "What do you think of Jesus Christ?" (cf. Mt. 22:42). Without a proper understanding of the person and work of Jesus Christ, and without belief and trust in and submission to Jesus Christ, individuals, families and nations are doomed to failure in history and eternal judgment in the hereafter. It is the purpose of this post to prove from the Scripture that Jesus Christ is God. For if the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is very God of very God, then we must without question submit to Christ’s authority. We must place our trust in Christ alone for our salvation, and we must offer worship and prayer to Him, for He alone is worthy to receive "honor and glory and blessing" (Rev. 5:12). God bless |

148 | Who is the intercessor? | John 2:4 | inmyheart | 69410 | ||
Mommapbs, John 2:4 And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 1. Woman. Jesus did not call her "mother", but "woman," a term of courteous respect, but indicating no spirit of obedience. Says Augustine, "As much as to say thou art not the mother of that in me which worketh miracles." Moses recognized that parental duties were subordinate to divine (Deuteronomy 33:9); and Jesus emphasized the principles (Matthew 10:37). Jesus taught that relationship to him was spiritual, and not fleshly (Matthew 12:46-50), and Paul coveted such relationship (2 Corinthians 5:16,17). 2. What have I to do with thee? This expression is used frequently in the Scriptures and invariably indicates a mild rebuke (1 Kings 17:18 2 Kings 3:13; 2 Chronicles 35:21; Matthew 8:29; Mark 1:24; Mark 5:7; Luke 4:34; Luke 8:28). It means "leave me to act as I please", and Jesus uses it to assert that he is independent of all human relationships in the exercise of his Messiahship. It corrects two errors taught by the Catholic Church: (1) Catholicism says that our Lord's mother was immaculate, but if this were true she could not have incurred our Lord's rebuke. (2) Catholicism teaches that Mary's intercession is recognized by Christ. But this is the only instance on record of such intercession, and though it was addressed to Christ while in the flesh and was concerning a purely temporal matter, it was promptly rebuked. 3. Mine hour is not yet come. Our Lord's answer indicates that Mary's request had in it more than a desire for the gift if wine. What she principally wanted was to have Jesus manifest himself as Messiah. Now, Jesus gave many secondary, but only one supreme, manifestation of his glory or Messiahship. His miracles were secondary manifestations, but his Passion was the supreme manifestation (John 8:28; John 2:18,19 Matthew 12:38-40). Jesus called this supreme sign his "hour" (John 12:23,27; John 17:1; Matthew 26:45; Luke 22:53). See also John 7:30; John 8:20. His mother sought for a supreme sign, but at that time only a secondary sign could be fittingly given. The triumph at Pentecost was not to be achieved at Cana. John 2:5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 1. His mother saith unto the servants. Though he had spoken words of rebuke, his mother was neither offended nor discouraged because of them, 2. Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. Though her words are not addressed to us, they will prove of untold profit to us if we obey them. This is the long and short of your question. As for the can of worms? :) God bless |

149 | word for wine in the original text? | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 68674 | ||
You responded to retxar, however here is the info you asked for. Jesus and His disciples were invited to a wedding (John 2:1-11.) During this wedding, the grape juice ran out, so Jesus changed about 600 litres (130 gallons) of water into fresh grape juice. In the original Greek, these verses use the word oinos, meaning either alcohol or fresh grape juice. But, "Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in...drunkenness... But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts." (Romans 13:13-14) Surely Jesus did not make any provision for the flesh, to fulfil its lusts. Surely what He made was grape juice. God bless |

150 | Is God obliged by the prayer of faith? | Rom 8:28 | inmyheart | 68463 | ||
John, I do not see anything what you refer to. I believe in God's promises, but there are those who, because of my belief, want to label me. I not here to defend any relgious group, only in God's Word. This is my closing statement to EdB; "God, in His sovereignty, has decided to respond to FAITH and will do so because He is Holy. This does not make Him man's servant as the critics want to imply. He still requires our obedience (which is what faith is), our worship, and our reverence. Word-Faith, by no means, has delegated the Almighty One to the level of a servant. Instead, we have recognized Him as our Father with whom we obey." About your dog, get real, Christ didn't come to save or heal a dog. You post; "But what if you pray for something that God does not want you to have?" Haven't we all prayed that way! It would be ridiculous for me to assume that God is some sort of vending machine! As the "red" notice say's, this thread has been restricted, there is no further discussion to continue. |

152 | Will we grieve for those not in heaven | Revelation | inmyheart | 68244 | ||
toots49, Hello, read the following, we will not remember those who will not inherit the Kingdom, if we did, we would continue to weep. Rev 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. Rev 21:2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. Rev 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, Rev 21:4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." Rev 21:5 And He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." And He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true." Pray and reach out to your love ones with the gospel. God bless |

153 | Why did God create man? | Rev 4:11 | inmyheart | 68120 | ||
Col.1:16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.(NIV) You are not an accident. Even before the universe was created, God had you in mind, and He planned you for his purposes. These purposes will extend far beyound the few years you will spend on earth. You were made to last forever! You created everything, and it is for your pleasure that they exist and were created. Rev 4:11 (NLT) You must begin with God, your Creatior, and His reasons for creating you. You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense. God bless The Lord takes pleasure in His people. Psa.149a(TEV) |

154 | Divorce is not allowed? | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 68052 | ||
Marriage is a topic deserving of extensive study. Careful exegesis of relevant biblical passages such as Genesis 2:23-24, Deuteronomy 24:1-5, Malachi 2:13-16, Matthew 5:31-32, Romans 7:1-3, 1 Corinthians 7:1-40, Ephesians 5:22-33, 1 Timothy 3:2, Hebrews 13:4, and several others is required to form a theologically informed set of guidelines for marriage, divorce, and remarriage. But for now, the reader will have to be satisfied with the following: Marriage consists of the union of a man and a woman, whose covenant relationship is witnessed and officiated by God himself. The Christian is only permitted to marry another Christian. If one is converted after marriage, one is not to divorce the spouse. But if the non-Christian spouse desires to sever the relationship, the Christian cannot force him or her to remain. Once within a marriage relationship, one must remain faithful, and not to divorce another, except when the other is found to be unfaithful. Even then, divorce is not necessary, but only permitted. One who divorces the spouse illegitimately is a covenant-breaker, and incurs God's judgment. Remarriage is generally allowed, and is encouraged or discouraged under different conditions. But again, it must only occur between two Christians. |

160 | Is this phrase in scripture? | 1 Corinthians | inmyheart | 67973 | ||
jlynette, I also here this phrase. It may come from the below verse. 1Cr 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and "God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able", but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. If I can't handle one hundred dollars, why would God give me one thousand to handle? God will only give me what I'm capable of handling right now. God bless |
