21 | Priests not allowed to marry | 1 Cor 7:1 | ngkh | 142329 | ||
Hi Doc, Thanks for your input. I'm ever more confused. If Paul meant that without a spouse, the person can serve the Lord better thus the Catholic priests and brothers are not wrong to remain unmarried as they have sworn to priesthood or brotherhood following Paul in 1 Corinthian 7, but they contradict 1 Timothy 4 which assumed that they are deceived by demons just because they are not allowed to marry. BTW, I have updated the profile but I don't really know what info is required. God Bless |

22 | Paul discourages marriage? | 1 Cor 7:1 | ngkh | 142087 | ||
In NIV, Paul wrote 1 Corinthian 7:1-2 1Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry.[a] 2But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. Did he meant that we should not marry since "it is good not to marry" but we can compromise and marry because of our immoral self and is this the reason why catholic priests and brothers are not allowed to marry? |

23 | Which book in the Bible do I commence | Bible general Archive 2 | ngkh | 141279 | ||
If I were to start afresh to read the bible or if a non believer wants to know about the bible which book shall I start to read 1st? Genesis in OT or Matthew in NT. I had so much "trouble" trying to stay at Genesis that I jumped to the 4 Gospels first and very much later tried Genesis again until I'm stuck at Chronicles. Jumped again to Acts - Galatians and then tried to go back to Chronicles. Am now reading other materials (books) that is subject based, scriptures are refered from the bible to support what was discussed. I find that I understand the scriptures better this way but its bits of pieces here and there. I don't see the chronological order except to where I had read in the bible. My Pastor wants us to at least read the bible cover to cover once. If I do so, I know I will just run thru without understanding the scriptures. What should I do? Reading postings in this forum also helped a lot. |

24 | Sorry | Rom 8:28 | ngkh | 141059 | ||
Dear Pastor Glen, I am sorry if I have mistook your earlier sharing. I felt the scriptures posted earlier involved 1) sinning 2) blaspheming the Lord, 3) did not repent which means that laws are broken. And if they did, they now face the wrath of God - all the victims including children in the tragedy deserve this for they all have sinned and did not repent. As for EdB's sharing, he made me realised what I did. I was judging God. I now felt that I was wrong for judging God in trying to seek an explanation why the event took place the way it did and by His Grace I hope He will forgive me for having such thoughts. I still am unable to comprehend this matter but when I read your earlier post. It gave me a picture that all of them deserve the wrath - the Indonesians, Sri Lankans, Indians, Thais as well as Europeans whom I believe are Christians too for they have not repented. We will never know if those dead Christians are what 1John 2:3 said they are, will we? That's why I could not agree with you. Pls correct me if I misundertood further. Even your new post mentioned repentence, disobedience, evil. |

25 | Aren't we in the age of GRACE? | Rom 8:28 | ngkh | 141050 | ||
Thank you pastor for your insights. However, I thought with the coming of Christ, Paul said that we are no longer ruled by law but by grace. And if I understand correctly, Grace is undeserved favour and if we believe in Lord, grace is FREE. No works required for they would be dead works. We only need to believe and have faith that God loves us, blessings instead of harms shall come to us. Galatians 3:10-14 All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”[c] 11Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”[d] 12The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”[e] 13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”[f] 14He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Roman 8:1-4 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,[a] 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering.[c] And so he condemned sin in sinful man,[d] 4in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit. Galatians 3:25 25Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law. I am confused here. If the people who died or suffered in tsunami tragedy are in their wicked ways, I would agree with the scriptures you have quoted. But I'm not sure the scriptures you have quoted will apply in this case. I can accept EdB's explanation but I'm afraid I can't agree with yours. Unless, I am wrong in my belief. |

26 | Why God allows such tragedy | Bible general Archive 2 | ngkh | 140829 | ||
I have asked the following question before in my early days of being a christian and studying the Bible. "Why did God kills" i.e. re Amalakites,etc and have accepted the probable reasons explained then. Perhaps they really deserve to be wiped out. I am asking the same question again with the recent events happening in South East Asia i.e. the high number of death in the tsunami tragedy. If God is so full of grace and that He loves us so much that I believe Him to be, why is He allowing such massive deaths to happen? Please teach me how to explain to a non believer that God loves us that he sacrificed His son for our sins but then he still allowed such tragedy to happen. When I saw a news footage of a man on CNN who lost everything, wife, kids, house, I asked myself. Why? |

28 | burn in hell | Mark 9:43 | ngkh | 118318 | ||
Thanks but I would believe that we go to hell if we've sinned. But that statement seemed to cover everything- eventhough you have been doing good all your life be it a muslim, Buddhist or aethist but if you are not a Christian, hell you go. Will this not cause a stir to non christians. I have many non christian friends who were told this and they responded negatively. How would you undo such thoughts? | ||||||
29 | Burn in Hell? | Mark 9:43 | ngkh | 118228 | ||
I have heard and heard many evangelists said that if we do not seek God's salvation, we will forever burn in hell. My question is where in the scriptures said that or was the above statement man made. If its John 3:16, it mentioned perish but not burn in hell. |

31 | In comparison to 2 Kings 5: 18-19 | Deut 5:9 | ngkh | 117727 | ||
Refering to 2 Kings 5:18 - Yet in this thing may the Lord pardon your servant: when my master goes into the temple of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow down in the temple of Rimmon--when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the Lord please pardon your servant in this thing." 19 Then he said to him, "Go in peace." So he departed from him a short distance. Does this mean that there are exceptions ? |

32 | Why children as well? | Bible general Archive 2 | ngkh | 104660 | ||
Thank you for the reply but what about the children? The children can't be all that sinful in nature can they ? Why can't they be spared and adopted where teachings be taught to them in Gods ways? Does it also mean that a race who is so sinful in nature that God had to wipe them out once and for all for there can be no hope of turning the children around or there were no plans at all to re-educate (bring) them into God's ways. | ||||||
