141 | Do I need to go to church | Hebrews | Shelly | 48702 | ||
Yes, I believe you DO need to go to church. Hebrews 10:25 says: "Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another; and all the more as you see the Day approaching." How are you supposed to tithe, support the Church, learn more about Jesus, and become more like Jesus if you don't go to Church and spend more time with other believers? |

145 | Explain Mathew 19:30 | Matt 19:30 | Shelly | 42367 | ||
My NIV Bible study notes says: Mat 19:30 Jesus turned the world's values upside down. Consider the most powerful or well-known people in our world--how many got where they are by being humble, self-effacing, and gentle? Not many! But in the life to come, the last will be first--if they got in last place by choosing to follow Jesus. Don't forfeit eternal rewards for temporary benefits. Be willing to make sacrifices now for greater rewards later. Be willing to accept human disapproval, while knowing that you have God's approval. |

148 | knocked about and wander around homeless | 1 Cor 4:11 | Shelly | 40162 | ||
1 Cor. 4:11 (NIV) To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless. |

149 | church on Sunday? | Bible general Archive 1 | Shelly | 40159 | ||
I believe that Sunday is the first day of the week, but I also go to church on Sundays. Acts 20:7 On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight. 1 Cor. 16:2 On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made. |

150 | does anyone here know who Melchizedek wa | Gen 14:18 | Shelly | 39549 | ||
NIV study BIBle says: Gen 14:18 MELCHIZEDEK Do you like a good mystery? History is full of them! They usually involve people. One of the most mysterious people in the Bible is the King of Peace, Melchizedek. He appeared one day in the life of Abraham (then Abram) and was never heard from again. What happened that day, however, was to be remembered throughout history and eventually became a subject of a New Testament letter (Hebrews). This meeting between Abram and Melchizedek was most unusual. Although the two men were strangers and foreigners to each other, they shared a most important characteristic: both worshiped and served the one God who made heaven and earth. This was a great moment of triumph for Abram. He had just defeated an army and regained the freedom of a large group of captives. If there was any doubt in his mind about whose victory it was, Melchizedek set the record straight by reminding Abram, "Blessed be God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand" (Genesis 14:20). Abram recognized that this man worshiped the same God he did. Melchizedek was one of a small group of God-honoring people throughout the Old Testament who came in contact with the Jews (Israelites) but were not Jews themselves. This indicates that the requirement to be a follower of God is not genetic, but is based on faithfully obeying his teachings and recognizing his greatness. Do you let God speak to you through other people? In evaluating others, do you consider God's impact on their lives? Are you aware of the similarities between yourself and others who worship God, even if their form of worship is quite different from yours? Do you know the God of the Bible well enough to know if you truly worship him? Allow Melchizedek, Abraham, David, and Jesus, along with many other persons in the Bible, to show you this great God, Creator of heaven and earth. He wants you to know how much he loves you; he wants you to know him personally. Strengths and accomplishments: - The first priest/king of Scripture--a leader with a heart tuned to God - Good at encouraging others to serve God wholeheartedly - A man whose character reflected his love for God - A person in the Old Testament who reminds us of Jesus and who some believe really was Jesus Lesson from his life: - Live for God and you're likely to be at the right place at the right time. Examine your heart: to whom or what is your greatest loyalty? If you can honestly answer 'God,' you are living for him VITAL STATISTICS - Where: Ruled in Salem, site of the future Jerusalem - Occupation: King of Salem and priest of God Most High Key verses: "This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, . . . Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!" (Hebrews 7:1, 4). Melchizedek's story is told in Genesis 14:17-20. He is also mentioned in Psalm 110:4; Hebrews 5-7. 14:18 Who was Melchizedek? He was obviously a God-fearing man, for his name means "king of righteousness," and king of Salem means "king of peace." He was a "priest of God Most High" (Hebrews 7:1, 2). He recognized God as Creator of heaven and earth. What else is known about him? Four main theories have been suggested. (1) Melchizedek was a respected king of that region. Abram was simply showing him the respect he deserved. (2) The name Melchizedek may have been a standing title for all the kings of Salem. (3) Melchizedek was a type of Christ (Hebrews 7:3). A type is an Old Testament event or teaching that is so closely related to what Christ did that it illustrates a lesson about Christ. (4) Melchizedek was the appearance on earth of the preincarnate Christ in a temporary bodily form. |

151 | Explanation on Isaiah 40 vs 31 | Is 40:31 | Shelly | 39547 | ||
NIV study Bible says: Isa 40:31 Hoping in the Lord is expecting that his promise of strength will help us to rise above life's distractions and difficulties. It also means trusting in God. Trusting helps us to be prepared when he speaks to us. Then we will be patient when he asks us to wait and expect him to fulfill the promises found in his Word. |

very interesting! What version is your Bible translation? NIV Deut. 23:18 says: You must not bring the earnings of a female prostitute or of a male prostitute* (Hebrew "of a dog") into the house of the LORD your God to pay any vow, because the LORD your God detests them both. |

154 | Who says do not smoke? | Rom 12:1 | Shelly | 38433 | ||
lots of people. Why is it that so many people, when they get saved, they give up smoking? Not because they are told to by anyone, but because they now feel in their spirit that it is wrong. |

155 | Smoking, or Non? | Rom 12:1 | Shelly | 38431 | ||
I like this quote: "You can't be intelligent and smoke at the same time." but it's not Scripture |

156 | what does this mean in layman terms | Rom 12:1 | Shelly | 38430 | ||
12:1 B. HOW TO BEHAVE (12:1-16:27) Moving from the theological to the practical, Paul gives guidelines for living as a redeemed people in a fallen world. We are to give ourselves to Christ as living sacrifices, obey the government, love our neighbors, and take special care of those who are weak in the faith. He closes with personal remarks. Throughout this section, we learn how to live our faith each day. 12:1 When sacrificing an animal according to God's law, a priest would kill the animal, cut it in pieces, and place it on the altar. Sacrifice was important, but even in the Old Testament God made it clear that obedience from the heart was much more important (see 1 Samuel 15:22; Psalm 40:6; Amos 5:21-24). God wants us to offer ourselves, not animals, as 'living' sacrifices--daily laying aside our own desires to follow him, putting all our energy and resources at his disposal and trusting him to guide us. We do this out of gratitude that our sins have been forgiven. 12:1, 2 God has good, pleasing, and perfect plans for his children. He wants us to be transformed people with renewed minds, living to honor and obey him. Because he wants only what is best for us, and because he gave his Son to make our new lives possible, we should joyfully give ourselves as living sacrifices for his service. |

157 | what are storehouse?can you divide tithe | Malachi | Shelly | 37708 | ||
3:10 The "storehouse" was a place in the temple for storing grain and other food given as tithes. The priests lived off these gifts. Malachi 3:10 says: "Bring the WHOLE tithe into the storehouse.... "Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty,..." I believe that the whole tithe should be paid first, then you can give extra to the poor or family. |

158 | Diff between tongues of men and angels | 1 Cor 13:1 | Shelly | 37185 | ||
Rev. 5:11-12 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. [12] In a loud voice they sang: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and praise!" |

159 | Samuel or Saul? | OT general | Shelly | 36605 | ||
The NIV Bible says: 1 Samuel 15:35 Until the day Samuel died, he did not go to see Saul again, though Samuel mourned for him. And the LORD was grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel. It's amazing how a different order of words can be misinterpreted. |
||||||
160 | second time why? | Jonah | Shelly | 35654 | ||
My NIV Bible study notes say: 3:1, 2 Jonah had run away from God, but was given a second chance to participate in God's work. You may feel as though you are disqualified from serving God because of past mistakes. But serving God is not an earned position--no one qualifies for God's service. But God still asks us to carry out his work. You may yet have another chance. |
