Michael, Please ignore my previous post. I didn't see the follow up notes before I posted. |

162 | during the 3 days? | Matthew | G. Preston | 195384 | ||
Michael, I have no issue with your scriptural reference of Matt 12:40. Do you have references for balance of conclusions? Example; I am reminded that Rev.9:1 is prophecy which carries the school of thought that it is yet in the future. |

163 | Polygamy | Eph 5:22 | G. Preston | 195383 | ||
Jon, Sin is detestable in G-d's eyes and not "permitted". Substituting the word "permit" with the word "tolerate",will allow me to say,perhaps, but,only to a point. Scripture strongly indicates, He will react to it. We must be careful of embracing His forgiveness and then charging Him with permitting (as in... with permission) sin to occur. Practices under the old covenant are addressed by example with scripture, thusly; KJV (concerning divorce)Matt 19;8, "He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so". Scripture gives us many examples of how to live our lives. The above scripture is not contraindicated as applied to polygamy. Therefore, I do not believe G-d endorsed or ..."winked"..at the practice.(.."one of those things He winked at"..!!!) What other items might you be referring? I do not believe nor am I aware that scripture suggests G-d has an ..."imperfect" will. |

164 | Are we all descendants of Adam and Eve? | Genesis | G. Preston | 194970 | ||
I believe G-d created more first humans than Adam and Eve. They were examples. A symbol..if you will. It would be consistent with the Bible using symbols in many other instances. If you reject that or similar common sense finding then you must be prepared to answer the following; Did G-d allow Adam and Eve to commit incest in order to populate the earth? Which the Bible deplores. Who were the sons' wifes? If you are successful in answering those..I have several more which must be addressed. For Christ, Preston |

165 | Christians living together outside of ma | 1 Corinthians | G. Preston | 194969 | ||
The marriage cermony is in itself an act of a type of repentance...from living in sin. G-d forgives..shouldn't we? Scripture teaches to repent and go and sin no more. It also teaches to forgive or G-d will not forgive us of our sins. |

166 | will some of be required to be lighthous | 1 Corinthians | G. Preston | 194968 | ||
CDBJ, We must not forget; 1)We are under the NT and new covenant. Not the OT and old covenant. Comparisons to the Ark and S and G are a stretch since they are under the old covenant.The new covenant gives us forgiveness thru Grace by the shed blood of Jesus Christ for any who repent.Those here will still be humans in the flesh which must go thru the trib. period. I can find no scripture which says that stops when the rapture occurs and the trib. period begins. 2) Revelation refers to saints from the trib. period. Who are they? 3)G-d must reach down,seal and save 12000 from each of the twelve tribes..144000...during the trib. period as seed for the millenium reign of Christ on earth. Are those sinners.... that He will save? Etc. The Holy Spirit...our comforter...will be taken away in the middle of the trib. period..not at the beginning. For Christ, Preston |

168 | Can a christian go to hell? | 1 Corinthians | G. Preston | 194957 | ||
No. The operative word is "Christian". I will conclude you are using the word to refer to someone who was a Christian and has fallen away. The answer is "Yes". But, he is not a Christian. This lends itself to the belief by some that..."once saved always saved". A misunderstanding of scripture. To accept that doctrine requires one to set aside the "unforgiveable sin". Which can't be done. Your scripture reference lends itself to the teaching that..."not by works alone"..shall we receive eternal salvation. |

169 | Differing views to questions ? | 1 Cor 14:33 | G. Preston | 194954 | ||
Jon, An age old (some would call)conondrum. But, I see it as part of G-d's plan. G-d commands that we serve Him in all ways including reading and studying His word. What better way than to have scripture presented thru man in the manner it is, guided by G-d to foster study,debate,discussions,analysis and start all over again. A life long commitment. Therefore, we are to; Pray for guidance. Study scriptures...and study them again. Study all writings available. Discuss meanings of scriptures. To assist in studies I apply the following three rules; 1)Take the Bible literaly where it is at all possible. If typical,figurative or symbolic language is used then look for literal interpretation it intends to convey. 2)Look for scripture which interprets scripture. 3)Do not spiritualize the Bible. We are each assigned the responsibility to reach our own conclusions. There are two scripture references I keep in mind as I pursue studies; 1)..."some things are reserved for Go-d's knowledge only".(Be reminded that... "not even Christ,nor the Angels in Heaven, but, our Father only knows the day and hour of the second coming/advent"....). 2)..."it will be revealed in due course"...based on the covictions of the heart and as the mind is capable of handling the information. One further thought; There are only three things we must know and do to receive eternal salvation; 1)We must repent; 2)We must be baptized and 3)We must live a life according to G-d"s law..the ten commandments. A life of righteousness. (Yes,earning of the five Crowns is greatly indicated. and item three gives us those Crowns). So while we are to pursue understanding in order to properly witness for Christ, we should not get hung up or allow ourselves to wane in our depth of faith when an answer is not immediately clear. For Christ, Preston |

170 | will some of be required to be lighthous | 1 Corinthians | G. Preston | 194952 | ||
I do not. But, G-d gave us 42 oz of thought process(sometimes I think 36 or 38 here.LOL)and I believe He expects us to use it. Many today have one leg planted on the belief and sinful side. The divine occurence of the rapture will surely convince some to finally repent,receive/accept Christ and witness for Him during the short time they will have under the dictatorsip reign of the AC. Understanding human actions today is the basis for the belief expressed. Example, it is often cited that a new Christian had experiened a major tribulation in life and his attention was re-directed to Christ. Just an observation as part of the answer to the question submitted. |

John, Good job. I misunderstood his question. For Christ, Preston |

172 | covering heaven with a cloud? | Bible general Archive 4 | G. Preston | 194935 | ||
Michael, I am not aware of such scripture. Anything close to that passage doesn't make sense. G-d receives our prayers as a beautiful perfume scent.(my words). Your wording is rather conclusive that it exists. Do you have a general reference?...what Bible?..OT or NT?..writing?...publication..someone,etc? For Christ, Preston |

173 | Help me with Bible reference for prayers | Bible general Archive 4 | G. Preston | 194934 | ||
The Bible teaches in many places that we are to pray for our leaders. A search would be necessary for direct reference. As a SS teacher I recommend that a study of scriptures is in order. Also,you will learn much more from that effort which will help you in your over all knowledge of G-d's word. For Christ, Preston |

174 | will some of be required to be lighthous | 1 Corinthians | G. Preston | 194932 | ||
While honorable it can't be. If you have repented,baptised you will be taken at the rapture. The two witnesses will be here to full fill scripture for the first 1/2 of the trib period. While hearts will be hardened at the end times..as we see now...some will most likely repent after the rapture occurs. For Christ, Preston |
