201 | Do you think there are any churches that | NT general | stjohn | 216354 | ||
Hi ww, Welcome to the forum! ww, this is not really a Bible study question, and this being a sola Scriptura (meaning, Scripture only) Bible study, some of the answers given to you do not follow this rule. There is nothing in the Bible, (i.e. Scripture) that would indicate that modern Messianic worship resembles what went on in the early Church. Those who tell you this are presupposing something that Scripture does not teach. The Bible tells us precious little of these details, and that's good! Otherwise we would just fallow the pattern and be far too comfortable, not ever taking a close look at the heart of the matter of our worship. John |

202 | were all apostles writers | NT general | stjohn | 216701 | ||
Hi Mimmie, No, not all of the twelve (if thats what you mean) were writers of the Gospel. John Mark, and Dr. Luke, were not, and many of the twelve Apostles did not write anything that was recorded in the Holy Writ. Matthew, John, Peter, and Paul, (many include Paul, myself included) were the only Aposels that wrote in the Bible. John |

204 | which disciples repented | NT general | stjohn | 227844 | ||
This probably is not exactly what you thinking or asking but, I would think, repentance being part of the package, they would all have to repent or they 'nor we' could call ourselves disciples. | ||||||
205 | Genesis 1 Chapter 1 Page 1 | Genesis | stjohn | 200798 | ||
Hello Baxt; Welcome to the forum! Thats a very good question! I believe you are correct in thinking that God is talking to Himself. You see, God, is three persons. The Father, The Son, ( who is Jesus Christ), and The Holy Spirit. So, He is indeed, talking to Himself! :-) If you read (John 1:1-3), It should clear that up pretty well for you. God bless John |

207 | speckled and spotted sheep | Genesis | stjohn | 208942 | ||
Hi Smalltiny, Well, thats a very good question, and one that just about everyone who reads that would like to know. But the Bible just doesn't tell us how it happened, but we can be sure it was not because of what the schemer Jacob did, it was from God, for only by His providential hand could it be done. So we cam be sure it was something God did and not something Jacob did that caused the sheep to be born with strips and spots. God and God alone can preform miracles. I hope this helps. But this is one of those, Duet 29:29 things, "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. Deut 29:29 God just doesn't reveal this to us. God bless John |

208 | Why was the birthright important? | Genesis | stjohn | 218534 | ||
Hi JEnsley1, Birthright is not only found to be important in Genesis, but it's importance is seen throughout the Bible: Easton's Bible Dictionary (1.) This word denotes the special privileges and advantages belonging to the first-born son among the Jews. He became the priest of the family. Thus Reuben was the first-born of the patriarchs, and so the priesthood of the tribes belonged to him. That honour was, however, transferred by God from Reuben to Levi (Numbers 3:12, 13; 8:18). (2.) The first-born son had allotted to him also a double portion of the paternal inheritance (Deuteronomy 21:15-17). Reuben was, because of his undutiful conduct, deprived of his birth-right (Genesis 49:4; 1 Chronicles 5:1). Esau transferred his birth-right to Jacob (Genesis 25:33). (3.) The first-born inherited the judicial authority of his father, whatever it might be (2 Chronicles 21:3). By divine appointment, however, David excluded Adonijah in favour of Solomon. (4.) The Jews attached a sacred importance to the rank of "first-born" and "first-begotten" as applied to the Messiah (Romans 8:29; Colossians 1:18; Hebrews 1:4-6). As first-born he has an inheritance superior to his brethren, and is the alone true priest. |

Hi Wendy, welcome to the forum! If this is homework, you should read it for yourself. And if it's not homework, you should still read it- we can never read the Bible too much! Your answer can be found in Genesis chapter 39. May I ask how old you are? John |

210 | Wastheearthherebefore,andwasdestroyed? | Gen 1:1 | stjohn | 186573 | ||
Hi satnj, There is evidence of at least one catastrophe of some kind before man came on the seen. But what good is that info? How will that help us to know God? If He wanted us to know that, for sure, He would have told us. This is what He does tell us. the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. Then God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. Then God said, "Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so. God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good. Then God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them"; and it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a third day. Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so. God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. 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." God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good. God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. 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. 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. 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." God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth." Then God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food"; and it was so. God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. God bless. John |

212 | What is the LIght in Genesis 1 | Gen 1:1 | stjohn | 188143 | ||
Hello Greatfull, That's a question I've given a little bit of thought to, and I think regardless of wether it means the light of the sun or even adding the stars and the reflected light of the moon, so to call it light in general, this would still not be evidence of the Big Bang. The only real evidence that I know of is found in the mathematics, of what is called a singularity, or what would be similar to a black whole, only unimaginably grater in scale. And the problem with the mathematics is the calculations completely break down when you get to close to a singularity. So even the math doesn't rely support the theory. And the even bigger question that the Big Bang theory doesn't even ask is. How do you get something from nothing? The only answer we have ever been given that we can rely on is. God said let there be, and there was. Maybe it went Bang when he said let there be but the bible doesn't say and if God wanted us to know he would have said so. What he does want us to know is, that we need a redeemer because we are lost sinners, and that redeemer is, Jesus Christ, our wonderful, merciful, glorious saviour. Hope this helps. God Bless. John |

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1 God is the creator of all things. "All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being." John 1:3 He can do as He likes. Follow Him or not. For it is written, "AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD." Rom 14:11 Good luck with that philosophy, your gonna really need it. :-( |

216 | Free Will | Gen 1:1 | stjohn | 218873 | ||
YenIsa, The devil is an angel (i.e. fallen angel) 2 Tim 2:26 tells us he has a will. Jude 1:6 also infers that angels have a will. Luke 8:28-31 also implies that individual angels, (a demon in this case and one of Satan's minions) has a free will as well. So, though it isn't explicitly stated, we can infer from Scripture that all angels indeed have a free will. The fall of Satan and the heavenly rebellion also indicate that they must have a free will.

Hi Thomas, It most probably just means clouds, (my opinion) but there is water in outer space, comets etc. but it's not a big deal. "Water above", I take to mean just that, "Water above". John |
