21 | women in Baptist Church | Bible general Archive 4 | Beja | 224208 | ||
Mitch, While I agree with the others that this is probably not quite the best place to ask, for what its worth I shall respond. The reason I'm responding is because I am the pastor of a missionary baptist church. The answer is ofcourse that there is not set "role" of women just like there is no set "role" of men. All are to be godly, holy, obedient to the scriptures. All showing the traits found in places like galatians 5 and 2 Peter 1, all are suppose to be using their spiritual giftings to serve other christians. Perhaps if you were to ask a more specific question I could help you more than this. In Christ, Beja |

23 | Proverbs 3:5 | Bible general Archive 4 | Beja | 224449 | ||
growing in the lord, What layers there are to what you just asked. The best way to give a brief answer is simply to say, "The Bible." However, for a more detailed answer we need a more detailed question. Do you mean to say, "How do I know what God says about various things such as homosexuality, adultery, theft, or a host of other issues?" That is one question you could be meaning. Another is, "What does God desire that I do so that I may be saved?" That is another question entirely. Or your question could be along the lines of, "How do I know if God wants me to take that job in chicago which would require me to move? Or does God which for me to marry Barbara or Susan?" Or any other such thing. All of these are different questions that a person could be meaning by your question. So, let me give the extremely brief answer to each and if you want to clarify your question I'd be happy to elaborate. Q1: How do I know God's will regarding specific moral questions. A1: Read His word in which we have the answers to such questions. Q2: What does God ask of me to be saved in the coming day of judgement? A2: Act 17:30 "Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent" and "Php 3:9 and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith," So, God asks of us repentance and faith. And faith is not some general trust in ignorance that God is somehow benevolent. But rather to trust in Jesus Christ that He has died for your sins and given you his righteousness and through that alone you stand acceptable before God. We, again, find this discussed in great detail in scripture. Q3: How do I find God's will with regard to moral neutrals, such as which job to take, whom to marry etc.? A3: Have your mind renewed by scripture. By this I mean so thoroughly soaked in scripture that you think with biblical views and think in a way driven by biblical motives. "Rom 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." Your being able to discern God's will in such instances is intricately tied to your mind being renewed by scripture. When you mind has become so very wired in such a way you will very often after a time of prayer be able to discern one choice being better than another. You might realize that job in Chicago actually would require you to work 60 hours a week and your only motive for taking it would be for more wealth, whereas the job you are currently in gives you time with family and currently has you in a church which you love dearly. A scripture renewed mind will find such a thing an easier choice. So the answers are, scripture, scripture, scripture. In Christ, Beja |

24 | RIDING A CLOUD OR A WHITE HORSE? | Bible general Archive 4 | Beja | 225592 | ||
legsrandall, I really have no idea the context of the phrase in that song, so context would make all the difference....but.... If I told you that a cowboy was riding on the road would you tell me that I was wrong and that he was clearly on a horse? Language is a little bit more flexible than that. What if the idea meant was that Jesus was riding his white horse on the clouds towards them? However, context would make a difference how to understand what the song is saying. Though here is a verse that might ease your mind. Isaiah 19:1 "The oracle concerning Egypt. Behold, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud and is about to come to Egypt; The idols of Egypt will tremble at His presence, And the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them." I don't post this to suggest that he is NOT riding a white horse at the second coming. But I hope to open your eyes to how scripture often uses metaphorical language to try to express the glory and terror of the Almighty. Perhaps the song needs to be given the same opportunity. In Christ, Beja |

25 | who had 4 kids and was a singer | Bible general Archive 4 | Beja | 225819 | ||
Zeze, Welcome to the forum. I hope you have a great experience here and that it goes a long way to building you up in Christ. However, the intent of the forum is not for trivia, rather it is for help in serious Bible study. Again, I hope my dismissal of your question doesn't disuade you from joining us in studying God's word. For you are quite welcome here. In Christ, Beja |

26 | Are we born a sinner or do we become one | Bible general Archive 4 | Beja | 225862 | ||
Tracey, I would disagree with some of the answers given to you thus far. Let me quote Ephesians. Eph 2:3 Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. Now this passage says we were by nature children of wrath. The problem wasn't merely our actions, but that by our very nature we were something oppossed to God. Now my question would simply be: At what point did our very nature, and not merely our actions become this way? Think it through how you will, I would say birth. In Christ, Beja |

27 | where is Christ battling Satan in HELL | Bible general Archive 4 | Beja | 226242 | ||
Glenda June, If you are asking for a place in scripture that records such a thing, then you won't find it because there is no such story there. Personally I do not believe such a notion is true. If you are wondering if there are sources outside the Bible that depict such a thing, then that I'm not aware of. In Christ, Beja |

28 | What happens to Israel upon Christ's ret | Bible general Archive 4 | Beja | 226617 | ||
artmo, The answer is here in this passage. 2Thess 1:6-10 For after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed--for our testimony to you was believed. In Christ, Beja |

29 | Why use "adequate" in 2 Tim 3:17 | Bible general Archive 4 | Beja | 226908 | ||
rowdyreader, Greeting rowdy. "all that is needed to complete a task" is just about exactly the definition of the word adequate. Now when you and I use that word, we probably are thinking along the lines of "the absolute minimum to be enough." However, that isn't actually part of the definition of the word. It just means sufficient for what is needed, without the negative connotation. In Christ, Beja |

32 | what has to happen | Bible general Archive 4 | Beja | 227094 | ||
legsrandal, First, the gospel must be preached to the whole world. Mat 24:14 "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. Second, the antiChrist must first come which is accompanyied by a great apostasy. 2Th 2:1 Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, 2Th 2:2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 2Th 2:3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 2Th 2:4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. In Christ, Beja |

35 | Where are they? | Bible general Archive 4 | Beja | 227404 | ||
steamboat, You are observing scripture's testiment to two truths. The first, the ressurection will happen and after the ressurrection then those who are still alive at that point will be raptured. This goes contrary to the popular dispensational teaching of the rapture, which they say happens 7 years prior to the ressurection day. The second thing you are observing is the fact that when we die we are present with Christ. Where are they? With Christ. Wherever Christ is, that is where the saints who died in Christ will be. So the question becomes, where is Christ? The answer: At the right hand of the Father. I hope this helps. In Christ, Beja |

36 | Satan has permission to rule | Bible general Archive 4 | Beja | 227457 | ||
arabian031, What passage of scripture makes you think that he will let satan rule after he comes back? In my opinion this is an unbiblical notion. 2 Thessalonians makes it clear that the coming of Christ will bring satan's rule to an end. 2Th 2:8 Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; In Christ, Beja |
