161 | The dead in 1 Pet 4:6 | 1 Pet 4:6 | greentwiga | 142374 | ||
Notice that the verse says that the gospel was preached (past tense) to those who are now dead (present tense). It could mean that They were normally alive, and got the gospel so some would be saved (they might live according to God). Other interpretations are possible, but why get a strange interpretation when one that fits the rest of scripture fits. Greentwiga |

162 | Isn't all sin the same? | 1 John | greentwiga | 141991 | ||
That is a common teaching. It is true that all sin leads to death Rom 2:12-13. There seems to be differences in sins. In 1 John 5:16-7, it says there is s sin leading to death and sins not leading to death. The problem is when a sin becomes popular in thinking. Refer back to the prohibition. I expect that they thought it was the worst sin. Thew sin that I find preached against the most in the Bible is oppression of the poor. This includes oppression by sharp but currently legal business practices. We could feel so righteous by our preaching against homosexuality or abortion and find ourselves condemned by God. I am speaking of us as American religious, and and not a saved person. As a saved person, I know there is no condemnation. Greentwiga |

163 | accordign to the bible there were 360 | Revelation | greentwiga | 141035 | ||
Though you can see from Rev 11 that 42 months of 30 days equals 1260 days, the Hebrews knew there was a lunar calender and a solar one. Whether they used a mixture of 29 day and 30 day months or just purely 30 day months, they had leap months just like we have leap years. They would add in a thirteenth month to make the lunar calender stay close to the solar one. Their solar calender was based on the points the sun made its most northerly and southerly movements, so their years are the same as ours. Now the Jews count back to some point to set a year number different from the Christians. In the time of the Monarchy, the did not use any such concept. The years were reset with each new king. Therefore, the Bible doesn't say what year we are in. Greentwiga |

164 | Does satan call us by numbers? | Revelation | greentwiga | 141131 | ||
I can't remember any such verse. Rev 13:18 talks about man's number. It is 666. The Hebrew word for 7 can also be translated oath. Oath keeping seems equated with Godliness.666 seems related, ie not fulfilling the oath. It does not seem to indicate that Satan translates men's names into numbers, but men do. | ||||||
165 | To what is jesus the "faithful witness" | Rev 1:5 | greentwiga | 145111 | ||
Jesus is the first ressurected to new life. He opened the door by his death on the cross and because He was sufficient to pay for the sins of mankind, He was ressurected, enabling all others who ar esaved by faith to be ressurected also. The firstborn son has the concept of heir to all of the Father, so John is alluding to this also. All theat the father told Him, He made known to us. He could have known it all since He was fully God, but He had emptied himself and so was dependant on the Father. He was faithful and sinless in his job of telling us everything, so He was the faithful witness. See Rev 2:8,3:7,14 greentwiga |

166 | So, the Pastor who places his hand... | Rev 1:17 | greentwiga | 142219 | ||
This is Jesus placing his hand on John. How do you see any reference to a pastor or another person having the same power? Were you thinking of another verse in conjunction with this? Greentwiga |

168 | Who goes to heaven? | Rev 20:12 | greentwiga | 141577 | ||
Hello Tan we were discussing this in Sunday school today. Rev 20 shows the system. All are given the chance to go to heaven based on their deeds. God opens the books, and shows that all have failed. None has lived up to the light they knew. All deserve their judgements. First though, God looks at the book of life. If your name is not their, He then looks in these books. If your name is in the book of life, God says the debt has been paid. Satan, the accuser says but, but he ... God says the books are sealed, the record has been thrown into the deepest sea. It is similar to when our courts seal the juvenile records. No one is allowed to mention them in any trial. Therefore, the free gift of heaven is really our second chance. Since we all had the first chance by living according to the law we knew (Rom 2:12, Rom 3:23) Therefore, none can complain that God was arbitrary about only letting those who received Jesus into heaven. Everyone had a chance and chose to not walk God's way. It is God's great mercy that He opened a second way and lets any people into heaven at all. Greentwiga |
