161 | how many heavens are there? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 210626 | ||
Dear James: Welcome to the forum. When the Bible talks about the third Heaven it does not mean that there are three Heavens where God has a throne and where we think of it as the Heaven in which God dwells. It simply means that that is where Paul was caught up to. i.e. The Heaven where Jesus sits at the right hand of God, as opposed to the other places in Scripture where the word Heaven means something else. The first Heaven would be what we call our atmosphere, or where we find air for birds and planes to fly in. Gen 1:20 Then God said, "Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens.” The second Heaven would be outer space, where we find the stars. Job 12:7, Job 35:11, Ps 8:8, Ps 79:2, there are many other verses that refer to the, “Birds of the Heaven’s” also there are about 25 verses that talk about the Stars of Heaven. I hope this clears it up for you. God bless John |

162 | Are old words proper for Scripture? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 210631 | ||
Hey Edude, Welcome: You have an interesting way of putting things, it sounds as if it may even be profund, but, I'm afraid I'm a bit lost too. :-) I've been reading along and, You asked the question: "Is God glorified with words of praise which are contrary to our Lord's style?" Well, I cant really say, sir, it's a little difficult to tell what you mean by, "our Lord's style?" Can you please enlighten us just a little bit on, what is, "our Lord's style"? And may we please see the Scriptures that would bolster the notion that, he has some sort of, Style, whatever that may be? John |

169 | does satan know what is said in tongues | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 210676 | ||
Dear Correy, (I hope you don't mind the nickname) :-) you wrote: "I doubt that satan himself spends much time following just ANY Christian around;" (sic) Scripture has something entirely different to say about that. "Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." 1 Pet 5:8 Speculation and opinion don't carry much weight around here, though these things are present, and not inherently wrong, we do require however, that someone be able to back up their opinion with Scripture. Please review the TOU (Terms Of Use) before you post. This is a sola Scripture Bible study forum not an opinion speculation forum. Thank you and welcome. God bless John |

Dear Milena, You are very welcome mi amiga! I hope I'm correctly guessing your gender from your name? ¿hablo español? Muy, muy poco mi amiga! Yes, I did use worldlingo, if I could say 50 words in Spanish it would surprise me. :-) I see Azure has given you a very good suggestion to teach children, but not only the 2 great commandments, the Ten Commandments are what we would call the moral law, and are good to teach children of all ages. I have recently been asked to teach Sunday-school and before I start my lesson-plan every week I listen to J. Vernon McGee's Thru the Bible, (A Través de la Biblia) it is very good very down to Earth and easy to understand for all ages, and, the good news is; they have it available in Spanish at this web-address. http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/Thru_the_Bible_Spanish/ McGee's teachings have been a great help to me and give me a good deal of information to build my lesson on. I use other commentaries as well, but Vernon McGee is my favorite for getting a real simple to understand foundation to build my lesson on, and I am very thankful to our God for giving him to us! To your question; I'm not sure exactly what you are saying, but I'm sure it would be a sin to break any of God's moral laws, regardless of wether we apply a principle to it or not. Ignorance of the law or even the principle of said law, is no excuse for breaking the law; it would still be sin, regardless. I hope this helps you. Just a side note, you may just hit the note button to reply to a post, you don't need to put it as a question, and that way it leaves the home page open for other questions to the forum in general. Would you please give us some information in the user profile? It's always good to know someone a little better then just what we can learn from reading their posts. Milena, I'm so happy to see you are deciding to stay and study God's Word with us. This place is such a blessing to me, and I hope it will be a blessing to you too! God bless John |

171 | does satan know what is said in tongues | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 210690 | ||
Dear corrected, aah corrective, sorry... :-) Big fry? Little fry? Sorry my friend, I have no idea what you are talking about. "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." 1 Cor 12:13 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Gal 3:28 And if I may add my two widows mites. There is neither big fry nor small fry. stjohn 1:1 |

Newwine, I'm sure Azure will get back to you if she wishes, but if I may say, there is nothing inherently wrong with speculation as long as it follows a biblically based foundation, and is given as such e.g. your example would probably be alright. And of course as long as there is nothing objectionable or that goes against the Terms of Use as set forth by our gracious host, The Lockman Foundation. Of course we need to be as objectively biblical as we can to ensure we don't stray from sound orthodoxy. Just remember this is a Bible study not a opinion/speculation study, nor a chat-room. I hope this helps. :-) Shalom John |

175 | What are God's views on marriage/divorce | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 210719 | ||
Dear Karin, I must say I agree with what Brother BradK said to you. May I suggest too that you find solace in your Bible. When I feel troubled I have learned to trust God and I often just read the psalms, and meditate on Him and His Word. My dear old mom had her share of troubles, and as a boy I would often find her reading in the Psalms, finding comfort in her world of woe. --"Born in the East and clothed in Oriental form and imagery, the Bible walks the ways of all the world with familiar feet, and enters land after land to find its own everywhere. It has learned to speak in hundreds of languages to the heart of man. It comes into the palace to tell the monarch that he is a servant of the Most High, and into the cottage to assure the peasant that he is a son of God. Children listen to its stories with wonder and delight, and wise men ponder them as parables of life. It has a word of peace for the time of peril, a word of comfort for the time of calamity, a word of light for the hour of darkness. Its oracles are repeated in the assembly of the people, and its counsels whispered in the ear of the lonely. The wicked and the proud tremble at its warnings, but to the wounded and the penitent it has a mother's voice. The wilderness and the solitary place have been made glad by it, and the fire on the hearth has lit the reading of its well-worn pages. It has woven itself into our dearest dreams; so that love, friendship, sympathy and devotion, memory and hope put on the beautiful garments of its treasured speech, breathing of frankincense and myrrh." —Henry van Dyke Along with Bradk be assured that there are many that read along and will hold you up in prayer as well. May God bless you and give you peace in your time of trouble. John |

176 | Similar Barak in Judges - Barack Obama. | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 210753 | ||
Hello Saved4ever: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. You know, Saved4ever, I don't mean to be flip, and I especially don't mean to dampen the enthusiasm of a new user of the forum, but sometimes a question comes across that just doesn't make any sense at all. I'm very sorry but I have no idea what on Earth you are talking about. There are no fundamental similarities between the two, so how can we possibly see a coincidence when there is none to be seen. Please remember too, this is a Bible study forum and not an opinion/speculation forum, nor do we encourage the discussion of politicks. Sorry. God bless John |

Statistically, (by a huge margin) the group that most often dips into their pocket to help the starving are, Christians. So, God is doing something, something in the hearts of those who follow Him. By the way, friend, how much have you done lately to help the starving? Or is that, or perhaps I should ask, are you, according to your own logic,..... irrelevant. | ||||||

You speak of evil as something created, it is not. Evil is, just as a hole in the ground, 'is' because of the absence of dirt, but apart from the dirt, there is no hole. Just as apart from good there would be no evil. Evil is allowed by God, but it would be foolish to judge Him by this one act of His permissive will. Evil is not a gift, though it is permitted, and though it is permitted it is not His desire for us to do evil. That is our choice. To do evil is a product of our free will. What will you chose? Lack of faith by the way is the greatest evil, and it is a product of that evil that is the cause of starvation. What will you chose? | ||||||
180 | Any info on colossians 3:1-4 | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 211409 | ||
Hello, vision of hope, and welcome. So often we are drawn away from what Scripture teaches from Scripture, to speak on "topical issues" rather then the massage that God has given us, and what He desires for us to learn from reading the Word, good to move away from that and a commendable one too. It is indeed far too often we feel need to speak on topical issues, then, going to our Bibles and finding Scriptures to back up what it is "we" would like to say, rather then just sticking to expositional teaching and preaching to teach what it is "God" would like to say. To find out what I really mean by expositional preaching or teaching, please go to, http://marks.9marks.org/Mark1 where you can read lessons and listen to lectures on expositional preaching that can really help to build a healthy Church ministry. Here too are some good comentarys you may not have had the opertuinity to read that I aslo pray will be of some help to you. http://eword.gospelcom.net/comments/ God bless John |
