21 | Is it wrong to have | Luke 1:15 | Jagfire | 173034 | ||
Alcohol is not in and of itself tainted by sin. However, drunkenness and addiction to it is what a Christian must stay away from. The Bible discourages drinking alcohol in Proverbs 20:1, Isaiah 5:11/22, Micah 2:11, and several other verses. The Bible also condemns getting drunk- see Proverbs 23:29 to 35. We are to avoid anything that we can be mastered by, and also are told not to participate in things that might offend other Christians or cause them to fall (see 1Co 8:9-13). Although Scripture doesn't necessarily say we can't drink alcohol, based on these things, it's hard to say that you can drink alcohol for the glory of God. [1Co 10:31] |

22 | am i right? | 1 Cor 7:1 | Jagfire | 172993 | ||
Paul says some have the gift of singleness, and some the gift of marriage. It's not necessarily God's will for everybody to get married. Paul did not have to worry about the extra problems and stresses that come with marriage/family. He devoted his entire life to spreading the Word of God. He could not have been such a useful messenger to all of us if he had been married. Don't get me wrong - some people do better as a team, serving God as a couple and a family. Both kinds of people are equally important. It is not a sin to remain single, even your entire life. The most important things in life are not in finding a mate and having children, but in serving God. |

23 | YAHWEH | Dan 9:14 | Jagfire | 172992 | ||
These are just other names for God. Yahweh/Jehovah are mentioned in Deut 6:4 and Daniel 9:14. "El" is another name meaning "strong" - see Genesis 7:1. |

24 | freedom from evil | Prov 26:2 | Jagfire | 172989 | ||
This verse means that silly curses have no effect. Nobody really has the power to speak curses over you because God is the only one able to claim judgement. Being saved, I don't have to worry about being cursed, or put under some witchcraft spell, hex, or voodoo because I've been freed to worship God. See John 8:36. | ||||||
25 | God and His promises | 1 John 1:9 | Jagfire | 172987 | ||
God's promises to us are all over the Bible. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” This promise is based on the forgiving nature of God and is available to all believers. In Phillipians 4.. “The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” This promise is made to all believers who bring their requests to God. There are plenty of promises for us. Revelation 3:20.. Psalm 31:24.. and many other times in the book of Psalm. God gives us promises that better fulfill His will. God does not make a promise that bends His will. |

26 | Paul from the bible | Gal 4:15 | Jagfire | 172985 | ||
The Bible doesn't say much about Paul's appearance but we do know Paul had chronic maladies: eye problems, maybe malaria, migraine headaches and even epilepsy, and a speach disabililty too. (Gal 4:15). In 2nd corinthians Paul asks for the removal of these "thorns in the flesh" | ||||||
27 | However, after Jesus finished His work o | Luke 23:43 | Jagfire | 172914 | ||
When Jesus ascended to Heaven, He took the occupants of Paradise (believers) with Him according to Ephesians 4:8-10. His body was in the tomb; His soul/spirit went to the “Paradise” realm of Sheol / Hades. He then removed all the righteous dead from Paradise and took them with Him to Heaven. In many translations of the Bible translators are not consistent in how they translate the Hebrew and Greek words for “Sheol,” “Hades,” and “Hell” |

28 | please tell me about angels . | Heb 1:14 | Jagfire | 172807 | ||
- They praise God (Psalm 148:1,2; Isaiah 6:3). - They worship God (Hebrews 1:6; Revelation 5:8-13). - They rejoice in what God does (Job 38:6-7). - They serve God (Psalm 103:20; Revelation 22:9). -They appear before God (Job 1:6; 2:1). - They are instruments of God's judgments (Revelation 7:1; 8:2). - They bring answers to prayer (Acts 12:5-10). - They aid in winning people to Christ (Acts 8:26; 10:3). - They observe Christian order, work, and suffering (1 Corinthians 4:9; 11:10; Ephesians 3:10; 1 Peter 1:12). - They encourage in times of danger (Acts 27:23,24). - They care for the righteous at the time of death (Luke 16:22). Angels are entirely a different order of being than humans. Human beings do not become angels after they die. Angels will never become, and never were, human beings. God created the angels, just as He created humanity. The Bible nowhere states that angels are created in the image and likeness of God, as humans are (Genesis 1:26). Angels are spiritual beings that can, to a certain degree, take on physical form. Humans are primarily physical beings, but with a spiritual aspect. The greatest thing we can learn from the angels is their instant, unquestioning obedience to God’s commands. |

29 | Paul is a married man(widow/divorce)? | 1 Cor 7:1 | Jagfire | 172784 | ||
The Bible never says whether Paul was married or not. Some think that he was at one time based on what he said in 1 Corinthians 9:5, "Don't we have the right to take a believing wife along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord's brothers and Cephas?" If Paul was married at one time, his wife likely passed away considering he never mentions her in any of his writings. Paul declared that he had the gift of celibacy in 1 Corinthians 7:1-7. Some believe that the Apostle Paul was married because history tells us that a member of the Sanhedrin was required to be married. However, Paul never stated that he was a member of the Sanhedrin. He definitely seemed to be on the path, "I was advancing in Judaism beyond many Jews of my own age and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers" (Galatians 1:14). However, Paul might not have advanced that far before He converted to Christ. So, was the Apostle Paul married? It is possible that he was at one time, but again, the Bible does not specifically say. |

30 | Three most important Obadiah passages? | Obad 1:4 | Jagfire | 172640 | ||
Here are my favorite verses of the chapter. verse 4, "Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down," declares the LORD." verse 12, "You should not look down on your brother in the day of his misfortune, nor rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction, nor boast so much in the day of their trouble." verse 15, "The day of the LORD is near for all nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head." |

31 | Where is one's soul before JudgementDay | Rev 20:11 | Jagfire | 172572 | ||
The Bible tells us that after the moment of death, a person is taken to Heaven or Hell based on whether he or she had received Christ as his or her Savior. For believers, after death is to be "away from the body and at home with the Lord" (2 Corinthians 5:6-8; Philippians 1:23) This is where it can get confusing.. Revelation 20:11-15 describes all those in Hell being cast into the lake of fire. Revelation chapters 21-22 describe a New Heaven and New Earth. Therefore, it seems that until the final resurrection, after death a person resides in a “temporary” Heaven and Hell. A person's eternal destiny will not change, but the precise "location" of a person's eternal destiny will change. At some point after death, believers will be sent to the New Heavens and New Earth (Revelation 21:1). At some point after death, unbelievers will be thrown into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15). These are the final, eternal destinations of all people. Hope this clarified. |

32 | what meaning has christian passover | Rom 14:5 | Jagfire | 172560 | ||
Like all the Old Testament Jewish feasts the Passover feast was a foreshadowing of Christ’s work on the cross. Colossians 2:16 says “let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or Sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.” Christians are no longer bound to observe the Passover feast the way an Old Testament Jew was but they should not look down upon another believer who does or does not observe the Passover or other special Jewish days and feasts (Rom14:5). It is nto required for Christians to celebrate the Passover but it is beneficial to study it and could be beneficial to celebrate it if it leads one to a greater understanding and appreciation for Christ’s death and resurrection. |

33 | reaching other people | 2 Tim 2:15 | Jagfire | 172554 | ||
Show this person that we should take the Bible literally because Jesus Christ also took the Bible literally. Anytime Jesus quoted from the Old Testament, it was always clear that He was taking it literally. When Jesus was tempted by Satan in Luke 4, Jesus answered and quoted the Old Testament. It is clear from the context that He took the Bible literally. The disciples took the commands of Christ literal as well. Jesus commanded the disciples to go and make more disciples in Matthew 28:19-20. In Acts 2 and following, we see that the disciples took Jesus' command literally and went throughout the world preaching the Gospel of Christ. Now, just because you take the Bible literally does not mean that there are not figures of speech in the Bible. The Bible does have figures of speech. |

34 | what prophet had a vision of a statue | Dan 2:31 | Jagfire | 172542 | ||
In Daniel 2, Nebuchadnezzar has a dream that only Daniel can correctly interpret. Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of a great statue represented the kingdoms that would arise in the future. Daniel chapter 3 shows Nebuchadnezzar making a great statue and forcing everyone to worship it. I am not sure about the different metals it was composed of, but I think it may have been of gold. | ||||||
35 | burned his son alive as a sacrifice | Gen 22:2 | Jagfire | 172450 | ||
God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. Isaac was a son of promise, and even so, Abraham immediately began his journey bringing along his son and firewood for the sacrifice. If you read the chapter, though, it turns out God stops Abraham, calling him faithful for following through. Isaac is never actually sacrificed. | ||||||

37 | Who or what is GOG refers to in the Bibl | Ezek 38:2 | Jagfire | 172372 | ||
Gog will be the leader of a great army that attacks Israel in the end times (as part of a prophecy). Gog is "the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal," from the north "the land of Magog" (Eze 38:2-3). Ezekiel prophetically describes Gog attacking Israel in chapters 38 and 39 of Ezekiel. Gog will be defeated by God on a mountain of Israel. And you know what's awesome? The Bible even says this will be such a slaughter that it will take 7 months to bury all of the dead people. (Eze 39:12) The Book of Revelation also mentions Gog and Magog in 20:7. Some say that Gog and Magog could be Russia and/or China. This could be true but it's not specifically clear in the Bible. |

38 | can people be possesed by demons? | Luke 4:33 | Jagfire | 172359 | ||
Satan cannot do anything to anyone unless they have God's permission (Job 1,2). And this being the case, Satan, thinking he is accomplishing his own purposes, is actually accomplishing God’s good purposes...even as in the case of Judas’ betrayal. Now, the case of an actual Christian being demon-possessed.. it is unlikely. The Bible doesn't specifically state so, but since a Christian is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, it wouldn't seem likely that the Holy Spirit would allow a demon to possess the same person He is dwelling in. It is unthinkable to me that God would allow one of His children, whom He purchased with the blood of Christ (1 Peter 1:18-19) and made into a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) – to be possessed and controlled by a demon. |

39 | revpete7, What are the 3 of 5 in Acts? | 1 John 3:24 | Jagfire | 172303 | ||
There are 3 times in Acts where speaking in tongues was accompanied with receiving the Holy Spirit. The verses are Acts 2:4 Acts 10:44 Acts 19:6 Remember that throughout Acts, thousands of people came to Christ or believed in Jesus, and nothing is said about them having the ability to speak in tongues. In the specific 3 cases in Acts, God enabled the Gentiles to speak in tongues so that they could show they had received the same Holy Spirit the apostles had. Nowhere in the Bible is it said or implied that Christians should expect the gift of tongues upon receiving Christ. |

40 | Where do i find it | Lev 18:22 | Jagfire | 172302 | ||
The Bible doesn't exactly say "no man shall marry a man," although based on Scripture it is clear that the statement is supported by the Bible. Scripture consistently puts down homosexual acts as sin (Rom 1:26-27 1 Cor 6:9 Gen 19:1-13) | ||||||
