Dear Kamschoolgrad, I agree with Brother Tim Moran's answer to you. Of utmost importance when reading the bible is to ask who, what, when, where, why and how questions. There are 66 books of the bible. Mr. Smith picked out verses that went along with his line of thinking about a particular topic. He confesses that he is not a believer. There is a verse in Corinthians that says "1 Cor 1:18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." Also we are to be discernable as to who to witness to and not to witness to. We are warned not to cast our pearls before swine in Matt 7:6 "Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." Understanding the verses this person has cited would require you to do a book study on each book where the verses are found so that you yourself might fully understand the topic. There is a culture war going on in our country, the world for the most part. I don't know if your time would be well spent trying to teach the bible to an unbeliever. That is something you will have to seek the Lord for guidance. In the meantime you might study these topics to aid your understanding; old covenant, new covenant, the book of Leviticus and the book of Hebrews. Precept.org has an excellent topical study on "Covenant". It goes over all the covenants in the bible and how they tie together. Excellent. It is a great help. Holding to Him - Val |

146 | Christians VS Dinosaurs... whats up? | OT general | Val | 213151 | ||
Dear Wily, actually there is an inhouse debate among scientists concerning the age of the earth. To say it is illogical to believe in a young earth is to deny the accuracy of scripture. So I would not use that terminology to describe people's holding to the creation story. Holding to Him - Val | ||||||

149 | New Perspective of Sha'ul | NT general Archive 1 | Val | 193590 | ||
In Acts 15:10 Paul is addressing a sect of Jews who were adding to the gospel by wanting to require the gentiles to become Jews. See verse 5. This was a transition point in which a meeting was called, see verse 1 and 2. The outcome of the meeting is stated in verse 19 and 20. These things; things contaminated by idols, fornication, what is strangled and from blood are not things that must be done to be saved but how to live after one is saved. In Galatians 2:11-14 Peter was making a distinction between Jews and gentiles and was not allowing fellowship between the two as is evidenced by his not letting them sit at his table. Again this is not adding to how to be saved but how to live after one is saved. Paul rebuked him for his behaviour no doubt because of Peter's great influence. In James 2:10 James is not saying how to be saved but how to live after one is saved. Some were showing partiality, see verse 9, and he compares this sin with the sin of adultery and murder. He is saying not to show partiality that it is a bad thing. He is showing them how to live after one is saved, how to treat our fellow man, see verse 12 and 13. |

Could you elaborate more on the passage in the sense of how you come to the conclusion that it is not binding everywhere for all Christians saying it is quite specific. The book of James is not about how to be saved but how to live after one is saved. You are right the way to salvation is not by keeping the law but through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. |

151 | witness to neighbors about Jesus Christ? | NT general Archive 1 | Val | 193664 | ||
I would first write out a three minute testimony of how I came to know the Lord and believed and was saved. Practice speaking your testimony to a close prayer buddy. As has been stated show love in tangible ways and develop a relationship with your neighbors. Pray that the Lord would open up an opportunity for you to be used by Him in witnessing to your neighbors. Be in constant prayer for them specifically and when that opportunity arrives you will be ready to share. You might also get your bible out and mark some verses that you plan to use so you can show them if given the opportunity. You might even buy them a bible, mark it and give it to them at the appropriate time. It is vital that you be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leading and that your life be free of sin as the walk is more important than the talk. Daily prayer and bible study will keep you equipped to share the gospel as you will drawn strength and guidance from the Lord each day. | ||||||

Check out your local book stores or on line for those small books that travelers use that help translate other languages. Perhaps you could learn a bit of their speaking language since you will need this to verbally communicate with them. | ||||||

Note in Acts 15:1 the men who are teaching falsely- adding to the gospel. Note in Acts 15:2 the meeting is called and the leaders meet to discuss this heated issue. Note in Acts 15:3-4 where they are and what they are doing. Note in Acts 15:5 they state the people who are adding to the gospel and why. Note in Acts 15:6 it is a joint decision of the leaders Note in Acts 15:7 Peter relates how God had spoke to him about the gentiles (anyone who is not a jew) By reading the entire book of Acts we get a feel for the book. In this verse he specifically states the gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. Note in Acts 15:8 that upon that belief they (the gentiles) were given the Holy Spirit. This is how the Jews were saved as Peter states (just as He also did to us). Note in Acts 15:9 Peter says there is no longer a distinction made between Jews and Gentiles - in the sense first that they are both saved the same way as is stated (their hearts cleansed by faith). Also, in the sense that the Jews were to accept the Gentiles - this was a new concept to them at the time. As you read the climate at that time the Jews disliked the Roman rule - most Romans were gentiles. Also the gentiles did not have the law, the tabernacle, the feasts - they were excluded. They were the people who were far away. Now they were included because God had revealed that to Peter. So the subject is how is anyone who is not a jew saved. Not only for those (the upset brethren)(15:1) but I submit for gentiles for all time. As to the conduct of the gentiles after salvation - in regards to abstaining from those things contaminated by idols. We know that Israel had gotten into deep trouble for idolatry and suffered God's judgment for that so they didn't want to make that mistake again. They wanted nothing to do with idols. Abstain from fornication - there are numerous references to a holy life that we are to follow. Abstain from what is strangled and from blood - there are numerous references to respect for life. Abstaining from these things would be binding on any gentiles who are turning to God as is stated in Acts 15:19 not for salvation but how to live a holy life. In this passage it explains how gentiles are saved and it explains a conduct after salvation. A question we might ask ourselves is how did the Lord view things contaminated by idols, fornication, what is strangled and from blood. Respectfully submitted, |

156 | Explain Heb. 10:26 | NT general Archive 1 | Val | 193793 | ||
Mark 4:3 "Listen to this! Behold, the sower went out to sow; Mark 4:4 as he was sowing, some seed fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate it up. Mark 4:5 "Other seed fell on the rocky ground where it did not have much soil; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of soil. Mark 4:6 "And after the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. Mark 4:7 "Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no crop. Mark 4:8 "Other seeds fell into the good soil, and as they grew up and increased, they yielded a crop and produced thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold." Mark 4:13 And He *said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How will you understand all the parables? Mark 4:14 "The sower sows the word. Mark 4:15 "These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them. Mark 4:16 "In a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy; Mark 4:17 and they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they fall away. Mark 4:18 "And others are the ones on whom seed was sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word, Mark 4:19 but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Mark 4:20 "And those are the ones on whom seed was sown on the good soil; and they hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold." As our Lord taught above we are to sow the seed and leave the results to Him. I hope this helps. Respectfully submitted, |

157 | JESUS WINS AN SO DO WE | NT general | Val | 196466 | ||
His proclamation was of His victory over death. It was not an invitation to follow Him. As we learn from other scriptures, once we die, it is too late. In the old testament the people believed there were two places for departed spirts one was a place/a chamber for those who follow God and one for those who did not. It is believed by some that the Lord took those who believed in Him to heaven with Him because this chamber was no longer needed. And that the other chamber is still there with the lost. We cannot be dogmatic about this as the scripture tells us very little about this. It is only spoken of in one verse in Ephesians. | ||||||

Dear fireout, Ephesians states Eph 4:8 Therefore it says, "WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN." therefore, we take it that he proclaimed his victory and took the believing saints which were in Abraham's bosom with Him to heaven. Sincerely, Val |
