161 | invitation to salvation/accepting Christ | Bible general Archive 1 | jbw | 82984 | ||
Matt 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, Matt 28:20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." This is as close as I get get regarding your question. It is the minister's job to compell the lost, persuade and yes even convince to them. That The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ our Lord. I hoped this helps... |

162 | What is the bible say about vow? | Eccl 5:4 | jbw | 82979 | ||
Eccl 5:4 When you make a vow to God, do not be late in paying it; for He takes no delight in fools. Pay what you vow! Eccl 5:5 It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay. vow: A solemn promise or pledge to do a certain thing. A vow is a promise to do a certain thing. If you search the scriptures you will find that God is a God of intergrity. His word is BOND. MATTER OF FACT HIS WORD IS HIM. God actually vowed to Adam that if he actually ate from the tree of knowledge good and evil that he would surely die. Adam ate and Adam surely died a spiritual death. We are made in the likeness of God so God wants and desires us to say what we mean and mean what we say. Bottom line in the old and new testament if you vow (make a promise) to do something the Lord God expects us to do it. The result of not keeping a vow ruins your credibility with man and with God. No one will ever take you serious...ever I hoped I helped |

163 | Phil 1:6 what means | Phil 1:6 | jbw | 82782 | ||
I believe that God's whole purpose is for us to be conform to the image of His dear son. So once you accept Him as your personal Savior the work begins...Mending, molding, scolding, reshaping, reconforming, chastising, the works. Whatever God has to do to get you to the imgae of His son He will do. It also means full circle not just a spiritual conforming but a natural. What you desire to be and do on the earth He will aid you in it until completion. Jer 29:11 'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Rom 8:29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; |

164 | How can we be sure of eternal salvation? | Phil 1:6 | jbw | 82781 | ||
I pray that these scriptures will aid in your friend finding that blessed assurance. When I first acccepted Christ the enemy taunted me with that very thought (fear). I use to cry many a days regarding your friends concern. Until one day I sat quitely reading my word alone and I stumble across these passages of scriptures that are attached. I read them and read them and read them. And one day they came alive in me. Now I know that I am the redeemed of the Lord and based upon these scriptures... When the trumpet sounds whether I am sleep in the Lord or alive I will forever be with Him I will also pray with you all that the scriptures will come alive in his heart and mind..And the blessed assurance of the word of God will illuminate in his spirit.... Rom 8:10 If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. 1 Cor 15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 1 Cor 15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. John 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. Phil 1:6 For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. |

166 | Scriptural proof: animals not in heaven? | Gen 2:7 | jbw | 82776 | ||
The plan of Salvation is only given to Humans. Romans 10 vs: 9-10. So based on scriptures only what God breathed into has a soul and equppped to make the transition to heaven. Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; Rom 10:10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. John 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. Again I can't recall the Lord the Lord making abode in an animal. Based on the scriptures the Lord Jesus came unto His own (kind)John 1:11 He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, John 1:13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. Even when the rich man Lazarus lifted up his eyes in hell he saw people awaiting the Lord Jesus death, burial and resurrection not animals Luke 16 Lastly when Stephen was making his transition to heaven and He saw the Lord Jesus standing up...He didn't mention any animal life standing next to Him Acts 7:55 But being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; Now, I'm not a theologian or anything or the sort, but I can't recall one place in the word where He (Jesus)raise a dog from the dead. Neither did he preach to animals...Now God is is almighty and He can do whatever He deems neccessary. But based on the scriptures animals that are walking on earth with you and I aren't there. Again I'm not a theologian and this is my opinion... Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. The animals that are mentioned are for a specific purpose. If this answer or comment is. Now last I heard a dog was man best friend, and we are God's... God is God and He could have whatever He deems necessary so cats, rats, mice and the like could be up there...I guess we will have to wait and see. Born again murders and all that were are until he comes will be there..so maybe..... |

167 | Does a human clone have a soul? | Gen 2:7 | jbw | 82770 | ||
Gen 1:24 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind"; and it was so. Gen 1:25 God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good. Base of the scriptures and my interpretation of the scriptures. If man produces a clone be it through DNA or the normal procedures. I believe that because man is a living soul then anything created from him would become a living soul. Everything produces after it's kind. Cat's after it's kind, dogs after it's kind etc.. Gen 2:7 Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. |

168 | Why did God not create more one couple ? | Gen 2:7 | jbw | 82765 | ||
Gen 1:26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." Gen 1:27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. I believe that God made man with woman inside because He wasn't trying to experiment on a certain species to see if one would do this or one would do that, He already knew what each creature was capable of and just made male and female, knowing that they would replenish the earth in time.. As A Matter of fact everytime God completed a certain task he said it was good and very good Gen 1:10 God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good. You must also remember that Incestuous relationship came with the fall of man. We probably will never know what God's original plan would have been because of the fall....just my thoughts.... Deut 29:29 "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law. Quick Search Word(s) or ID# |

169 | Are there animals in heaven? | Gen 2:7 | jbw | 82763 | ||
Gen 2:7 Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. According to the scriptures man is the only thing that God created that afterwards He breathed into him to become a living soul/spirit. No other creature did God do this to. Now regarding the the animals in the sheet: Acts 10:10 But he became hungry and was desiring to eat; but while they were making preparations, he fell into a trance; Acts 10:11 and he *saw the sky opened up, and an object like a great sheet coming down, lowered by four corners to the ground, Acts 10:12 and there were in it all kinds of four-footed animals and crawling creatures of the earth and birds of the air. Acts 10:13 A voice came to him, "Get up, Peter, kill and eat!" Acts 10:14 But Peter said, "By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything unholy and unclean." I believe that God was only using a metaphor with Peter. You see Jews were not allowed to eat everything (pigs etc..) back then and Petre was well aware of the restriced laws. God knew that Peter would catch on quickly to this example oppose to (GOD) Him using another thing. Peter immediately said "Lord I wouldn't eat anything common on unclean". So the animals being let down in the sheet was just used a metaphor... I'm positive animals do ot go to heaven based on the scriptures |

172 | Being stone and saw Jesus | Acts 7:1 | jbw | 82512 | ||
Stephen was the disciple Acts 7:55 But being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; Acts 7:56 and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." Acts 7:57 But they cried out with a loud voice, and covered their ears and rushed at him with one impulse. Acts 7:58 When they had driven him out of the city, they began stoning him; and the witnesses laid aside their robes at the feet of a young man named Saul. Acts 7:59 They went on stoning Stephen as he called on the Lord and said, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!" Acts 7:60 Then falling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them!" Having said this, he fell asleep. Stephen was a follower |

173 | Easter Bunnies...or Risen Lord? | John 11:25 | jbw | 82484 | ||
To me the events that happen at Easter (Calvary) are pivitol to our salvation. Had not God sent the Lord Jesus to die we would still be in our sins or lost doomed for eternal damnation for ever. When I think about how they beat him. Isaiah 52: says that his visage so so mard that people actually dodn't know what He was. Could you imagine beat beat so bad that your loved one's cannot recognize you? I am so grateful to have come into the full knowledge of God's saving grace. Words sometimes cannot express my gratitude for such an act. Sometimes, I often wonder what is it about man. That makes God want to bothered (although I am glad that he still strives and tug on us). His glorified body after resurrection is also intriguing to me. Eventually we will have one also. Flesh and bones with no blood...Can you image..The blood in a body makes them alive basically. And now we will have a glorified one with no blood. I personally believe that the Easter Bunny is a tactic from the enemy to take away from the awesomeness of our Lord and Saviors death, burial and resurrection. I really don't have a problem with the Easter Bunny as long as parents are telling their children the real meaning of the season..... |

174 | Need Bible passages for dying friend | John 11:25 | jbw | 82444 | ||
You could just ask her, if she is able to talk what are her favorite scriptures. And sometimes they just love to hear nice music. And sometimes they just love quietness and your presence not a word being said at all.... When you visit somehow once you get there you will know what to do so that it's not overbearing. The entire book of Acts is an excellent read. It gives so many accounts of so many marvelous Martyr's and the Lord JESUS standing up upon their final transition from earth to glory..... |

175 | What is God's covenant with believers | John 11:25 | jbw | 82440 | ||
God has made many a covenant with us but the one that I hold to fast is this. Because of death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ I am a joint HEIR with Him. Rom 8:17 and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ. | ||||||

180 | What are the works of the Holy Spirit? | John 14:26 | jbw | 82418 | ||
I am referencing John 14:26. The same presence and stance Jesus had when He was here is the same presence and stance the Holy Spirit has....As long as Jesus was here with the disciples they realy didn't have need of anything because they had the comforter in the flesh present. But now, He comes on the inside of you to do the same thing Jesus did for them on the outside... John 14:12 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. |
