141 | What's Paul describing in Rom.7:13-25? | Rom 7:15 | Shelly | 4992 | ||
(7:15). Paul found himself sinning in ways that weren't even attractive to him. (3) Becoming a Christian does not stamp out all sin and temptation from a person's life (7:22-25). Being born again takes a moment of faith, but becoming like Christ is a lifelong process. |

142 | Saved by Grace | Rom 10:9 | Shelly | 53784 | ||
No. Satan knows that God became flseh, dies and rose again, bt that does not make him saved. Romans 10:9-10 says: That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. |

143 | when is someone saved? | Rom 10:9 | Shelly | 58801 | ||
It is not with just believing - the devil 'believes in' Jesus, but certainly does not follow him. Romans 10:9-10 "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." |

144 | 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. |

145 | 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 |
||||||
146 | 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. |

Sorry, I only just saw this reply. It's from my NIV Bible Study Notes. |

148 | this is from John 6:55-56 | 1 Corinthians | Shelly | 84421 | ||
Jesus was not talking about literal blood, of course. He was saying that his life had to become their own, but they could not accept this concept. The apostle Paul later used the body and blood imagery in talking about communion (see 1 Cor. 11:23-26). 1 Cor. 11:23-26 [23] For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, [24] and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." [25] In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." [26] For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. |

149 | Was man created for fellowship with God? | 1 Cor 1:9 | Shelly | 124278 | ||
1 Cor. 1:9 God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful. 2 Cor. 13:14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 1 John 1:3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. |

150 | Denominations is shameful? | 1 Cor 3:4 | Shelly | 92571 | ||
I thought the 'original' church was the Holy Catholic church, and that the Roman Catholics are actually an offshhot as well. | ||||||
151 | 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. |

152 | Does God have rules on sex in marriage? | 1 Cor 6:9 | Shelly | 74843 | ||
My husband and I have been married for 21 years, and as fas as we're concerned, God designed that part of the body for a totally different purpose. I don't think you will actually find the answer written in the Bible, and likewise, the Bible doesn't tell you everything about life, eg. what will happen if you stick your finger in a power point, or what will happen if you lie down under a moving elephant. A lot of things in life need a 'commonsense' approach, or even better, a bit of thought beforehand. Most actions in life have consequences in life, some good, some bad. Also, as a general rule, if something is right, you'll know in your heart it's right. If you have doubts about something, it's usually wrong, so I wouldn't do it. |

What country are you in? Different countries have different laws. That would not be a valid marriage in the country I live in. | ||||||
154 | Pastors and Salaries | 1 Cor 9:10 | Shelly | 51730 | ||
Leviticus 19:13 says: " 'Do not defraud your neighbor or rob him. " 'Do not hold back the wages of a hired man overnight." Johnny, do you work for nothing, or do you get paid for the work you do? |
||||||
155 | Pastors and Salaries | 1 Cor 9:10 | Shelly | 51801 | ||
Sorry Johnny, I did not read your previous note, just this one. We belong to quite a big church, and there are quite a few people there that work at the church full-time, so they get paid by the church/us. They do not have time to have another job beside church. Neh. 10:37 says: "Moreover, we will bring to the storerooms of the house of our God, to the priests, the first of our ground meal, of our grain offerings, of the fruit of all our trees and of our new wine and oil. And we will bring a tithe of our crops to the Levites, for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in all the towns where we work." My NIV Bible study notes says about this verse: According to God's law, the people were to give a tenth of their produce to the temple for the support of the Levites (those who cared for the temple and the religious observances). A tenth of what the Levites received or produced went to the priests for their support. The principle at work was to ensure the support of the house of God and his workers. We must not overlook our responsibility to God's workers today. Thanks Shelly |

157 | No guilt in women cutting their hair? | 1 Cor 11:5 | Shelly | 70162 | ||
I thought there were several different cultures in the Bible, and the women who had long hair were the women in Corinth - not women everywhere. | ||||||
158 | Woman head covering valid for today? | 1 Cor 11:10 | Shelly | 4994 | ||
I don't think it says in the Old Testament that the women used to have head coverings. This would mean that no coverings is okay, and that the Corinthians brought in something new, that is not right or wrong. We need to read it in the context of the situation in Corinth. The matter of wearing hats or head coverings, although seemingly insignificant, had become a big problem because two cultural backgrounds were colliding. Jewish women always covered their heads in worship. For a woman to uncover her head in public was a sign of loose morals. On the other hand, Greek women may have been used to worshiping without head coverings. |

159 | 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!" |

160 | Tilthe calculation:On gross or net pay? | 2 Cor 9:1 | Shelly | 13114 | ||
I believe it's on the gross wage. Depends on how many deductions you have, if you do it after deductions, there could be next to no money left. eg. after tax, after health insurance, after canteen meals, after mortgage payment. And if you are looking at your net pay as an excuse to give God less, then you could even get some more deductions added to you pay, which proves it can't be right. Try giving God the tithe on your gross, and I'm sure He'll bless you like He has us. Malachi 3:10b Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. Genesis 14:20b Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything. Luke 18:12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get. Hebrews 7:2a and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. |
