21 | Was Jesus ever separated from God? | Ps 139:1 | Bereaniam | 170451 | ||
When Jesus died on the cross after taking on the sins of the world, was he separated from God? Did he "become sin"? Did he die spiritually? Bereaniam |

22 | Commentator wrong about Luke, Theophilus | Luke | Bereaniam | 169974 | ||
Was Luke, the physician, a Gentile? If so, isn't it important to know why God chose only one Gentile to write not just one book of the bible, but two of them (Luke and Acts). It is also amazing that God only used three of the "twelve disciples" to write books of the new testament. Have you ever wondered who Theophilus is (was)that Luke addressed in both the book of Luke and Acts? Do you know that word-for- word Luke wrote more than Paul (who wrote 14 books of the new testament)? Do you believe that Theophilus was probably a Roman official (since he was addressed as "most excellent" in Luke 1:3 and as "O Theophilus" in Acts 1:1)? Other Roman officials were addressed this way as we read about "most excellent governor Felix" Act23:26 and "O king Agrippa" Act 25:26. Is it possible Theophilus was not saved as some commentators have said, but just a Roman official that Luke was "briefing" since Paul was about to stand trial? Have you ever read of other believers in the bible addressed as "O" or "most excellent"? Please help me with this take on Luke and Theophilus? Bereaniam |

23 | Church staff's salary questionable | 1 Tim 3:7 | Bereaniam | 169789 | ||
I attend a congregation where it appears to be "family-owned", i.e.,it was started by the current pastor, his wife, the pastor's mom, dad, sisters, brother-in-law, his wife's mom, dad, sisters, etc. The congregation has grown to about 1500 (1 church, 3 locations). We had a split when the associate pastor was "pushed out" to make room for their son and son-in-law to be associate pastors. All of the above named people are paid staff including their 2 daughters, their son's father and mother-in-laws, and cousin, and the cousin's wife. Anyone who has exhibited the slightest bit of "doubt" about our pastor becomes "ostracized". Do you believe the congregation has a right to know "who is paid staff and how much each person earns"? They all live very well...pastors buy new expensive cars, trucks every two years, they have a beautiful home, horses, cattle, etc. now...but just announced they are about to buy another home. They do preach the "prosperity message, name-it-claim-it". Would you ask for monetary accountability? Would you leave this kind of congregation..or just pray for them and leave it in God's hands? Thanks for your input. Bereaniam |

24 | Paul our pattern to follow, not Jesus? | Luke 24:46 | Bereaniam | 169522 | ||
Since Paul, the apostle said: "my gospel" will judge the secrets of men hearts; follow me as I follow Christ; the things that you have learned, received, heard, and seen in me do, you DO; Paul said I am your pattern to follow, and since the gospel was given to Paul to us Gentiles straight from Jesus (Paul said no man taught him "my gospel"), doesn't those scriptures tell us (Gentiles) that the scriptures Paul wrote (Romans - Hebrews) should govern and guide us in our Christian walk? Paul reiterates many old covenant principles and all of the ten commandments in his epistles except for the 4th(Sabbath). Though Paul said to follow him as he follows Christ, I do not believe Paul means Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus of Nazareth was born under the law Gal 4. I believe Paul means the resurrected Christ who said he had a more excellent ministry. Bereaniam |

26 | Can a pastor be asked to explain sermon | Titus 2:1 | Bereaniam | 166042 | ||
A few times I have asked my pastor (via email, without being confrontational) to explain something he preached that I thought was in error. He either says he does not have time or does not respond at all. Should I continue to ask or just pray for him? I know there are people in the congregation who are baby Christians. My pastor recently has been involved with "big named ministries" and is becoming more egocentric. He just recently became a "bishop"...it was a BIG event. Thanks |
