21 | Jesus unheard of in the old testament!!! | Bible general Archive 4 | Jesusman | 195583 | ||
Greetings, I enjoy topics like these. Cause it shows the stupidity of skeptics. First off, There is more than one single passage in the Old Testament about the Massiah. One of my personal Favorites is in Micah. I love the book of Micah, because it lays out like a time line. Chapter one predicts the fall of Israel and Judah. Chapter two predicts the period of exhile in babylon. Chapter three speaks of a period of darkness from God. A time when he won't speak to the prophets. This fits perfectly with the 400 years between the testiments. Chapters 4 predicts the coming of peace in the land, which can be the Pax Romana, or peace of the Roman Empire. Chapter 5 talks about the Messiah himself. I could go on and lay out the rest of the book of Micah, but this is enough to prove my first point. Micah was living during the same time as the Prophets Isaiah and Hosea. They were the earliest of the Prophets. Micah predicts the events of the fall of Judah and Israel. He predicts the 400 years between the testiments. He predicts the peace under the roman empire. He predicts the coming Christ. He lays it out perfectly in a concise time line. Second, he claims that Jesus is a fabrication. If so, then he is one hell of a fabrication. There are roman manuscripts confirming the existance of Jesus, where he was born, that he died of crucifixion, and that there was no body after the Crucifixion. You also have confirmed accounts of the first church members willing to die over this so called fabrication. NO man is willing to die over a lie, let alone the untold number of martyrs during the first century. There are reputable modern day historians who will hail the Gospel writers as being Historically accurate. Dr. Luke specifically has been hailed the most accurate historian of the 1st century. It has been said that there is more historical and archeological support for the life and existance of Jesus Christ, than there is combined evidence to prove that Socrates, Plato, and Alexander the Great even lived. Jesus was a real person. Anyone who denies that is a moron. Third, he says that Paul never knew Jesus. Paul was a pharisee. And given the time that Paul had his encounter, he would have known who Jesus was and what Jesus taught just as well as the Diciples. Paul talks and names Jesus time and time again through out his epistles. He knew Jesus. Fourth, He claims that the Bible has inconsistancies about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Not true. You have the same story told by 4 different people. One is speaking to Jews, one is speaking to Gentiles, one is speaking about a hero, and another is speaking about his best friend. All four are speaking about the same man. To expect the gospel writers to all say the exact same thing about an event, and include the same exact information is rediculous. The facts are all present and consistant. One will add a tidbit that the other 3 don't. Big deal!! Again, he's being a moron. He talks about some things being left out of local history. Well DUH!!! Matthew 28:11-15 tells you that the High Priests told the soldiers to lie. They covered it up. This guy reminds me of the type who knows his version of the truth, and doesn't want to be confused with facts. The facts are there staring him in the face. Jesusman |

22 | What is dispensationalists? | Bible general Archive 4 | Jesusman | 195421 | ||
Greetings, Dispensationalists divide the Bible into 7 ages. It has a strong influence in the Baptist church. 1) Genesis 1:28 Innocence 2) Genesis 3:7 Conscience 3) Genesis 8:15 Human Government 4) Genesis 12:1 Promise 5) Exodus 19:1 Law 6) Acts 2:1 Church 7) Revelation 20:4 Kingdom Jesusman |

25 | did jesus have brothers and sisters? | Mark 6:1 | Jesusman | 195374 | ||
Yes, he did. In one place, Mary and Jesus's brothers and sisters come to visit him, and another time, Jesus's brothers reject his teachings. So .. yes, Jesus had siblings. Jesusman |

26 | halloween | Bible general Archive 4 | Jesusman | 195329 | ||
Greetings, For a long time, I was much the same way. I refused to participate with Holloween with the belief that evil was being promoted and celebrated. In many ways, I still believe that. However, what changed my view was a church I once belonged to that had a fair on Holloween for the children, but also a church wide celebration the next night, on November 1st. It was then that the history behind Holloween was presented to me. Holloween, or all hollows eve, was a night to ward off evil spirits in preparation of All Saints Day, a day to celebrate the lives and sacrifices of the Saints. The pastor began by dressing up as a christian saint he admired, and told of the saint's life, then other teachers and deacons would do something similar. I learned more about the christian saints that day than I ever did any other time. The children had a fun time also with various games and such based around period games. Although something was done on Holloween, it was the next day where the real celebration took place. Jesusman |

27 | 1 cor 12:23. what does it mean to a teen | 1 Cor 12:23 | Jesusman | 195209 | ||
Greetings, This is Paul's discussion of the Body. He's using the analogy of the human body to explain the church, and the roles each christian plays within the church. He just finished explaining how the body needs different parts in order to function as a whole. A body that has all eyes, won't be able to hear, smell, touch, or even speak. Each part of the body is dependant upon the other parts of the body. Now, beginning in verse 22, Paul switches gears slightly. Now, he's focusing on the individual purposes of the parts of the body rather than the dependancy. There are certain roles with in the church that seem the more desirable and honorable. On the contrary, there are some that are not so glammorous. Being the pastor of a church seems like a very nice and prestigeous role to play. However, being the Church's janitor is not as desirable, yet it needs to be done. What Paul is saying here, is that the percieved "less honorable" roles within the church should be just as honored and respected as the most prestigeous role within the church. Paul is making a solid argument that there should be no jealousy or division within the church. You shouldn't be wanting to be in another position of the church, but rather performing the role christ placed you in. Jesusman |

28 | Mary at Jesus's feet, what did this mean | Luke 10:38 | Jesusman | 194921 | ||
Prolly that she sat down on the floor in front of Jesus. Sometimes in the Bible, a horse is just a horse. Not everything has a double or a hidden or an implied meaning. However, It does prove that Jesus welcomed people of all types to come and listen to his teachings. Women were one stage above slave in that society. They had no power or authority in public. Couldn't even stand trial as witnesses. By welcoming Mary close to listen to his teachings, Jesus is implying that everyone is welcome to hear them. Jesusman |

29 | Why is wisdom referred to as HER? | Bible general Archive 4 | Jesusman | 194919 | ||
Usually it has to do with the language. Both Hebrew and Greek, as with many languages, have gender. Hebrew has masculine and feminine gender, and greek has masculine, feminine and neutral gender. Although, I don't have my reference books at hand at the moment, I'm nearly certain that the word translated as "wisdom" has a feminine gender, which is why its called "her". Another word like this would be the word translated as "Church" in the New Testament. Its also feminine in the Greek, and described as a woman in the texts. Jesusman |

31 | "whoever" . Who are these other people?? | Gen 4:14 | Jesusman | 194819 | ||
You seriously don't believe Eve was the only woman in existance until Noah's wife right? Adam and Eve had other children beside Seth, Cain, and Abel. There had to at least have been 2 daughters .. one for Cain and one for Seth. Also given how long lives were at that point, its not a huge leap of logic to assume that Cain is referring to his kindred that might find him. Jesusman. |

32 | Why do people say this when in all actua | Isaiah | Jesusman | 194817 | ||
If you don't believe Jesus, who can you trust? Luke 9:22 saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed and raised up on the third day." Jesusman |

33 | difference in Lord and LORD | Bible general Archive 4 | Jesusman | 194753 | ||
Most of them will tell you in the front, but one version is the use of YHVH, the Holy Name of God, and the other is using other terms for God. I think LORD is the use of YHVH. Jesusman |

34 | what is the book of the covenant | Bible general Archive 4 | Jesusman | 194751 | ||
Depends on which covenant you are talking about. The Edenic, Adamic, and Abrahamic Covenants are in Genesis. The Mosaic Covenant is in Exodus. Palestinian Covenant is in 2 samuel, I think. The Messianic is in Isaiah, and the New Covenant is the New Testimant. Jesusman |

35 | sin | Bible general Archive 4 | Jesusman | 194343 | ||
It's influenced by the modern philosophy of today's society. In today's society, there is no such thing as absolutes. There is the majority, and there is relativism. Basically, it's not what's wrong decreed by God, but what is wrong by what the majority of society says. An example of this is Spanking. 30 years ago, spanking was a legitimate form of punishing your child. Even the Bible, in proverbs, speaks about spanking a child and even encourages it. However, If you spank a child now, you are brought up on charges of child abuse and sentanced by law. The majority of society felt it to be wrong. Another example is Homosexuality. Leviticus and Romans both describe the act of homosexuality and declares it to be wrong. Yet, in today's society, the Majority of society has said that it is not wrong. By talking about the reality and consequences of sin, you are talking about the absolute truth about what is wrong and what is not according to the standard set by God. It takes the power of deciding right and wrong out of the hands of Society and places it back into the hands of God where it belongs. It basically reminds people that the power they have is only imaginary. It is one thing to be innocent in the eyes of the laws of society. It is something entirely different to be innocent in the eyes of God. The thought of being innocent in the eyes of society, yet guilty in the eyes of God scares people ... alot.

36 | Romans 1:18 taking sin seriously | Rom 1:18 | Jesusman | 194341 | ||
The importance of taking Sin seriously is evident in nearly every verse you have asked about. Romans chapter 1 is one of personal interest to me. If you read from verse 18 on to the end of the chapter, Paul makes it crystal clear about the consequences of sin. Sin is more than simple disobedience or the small white lie. It has stages. Each stage building on the one prior. As Paul describes here, it begins with burying the truth revealed about God in unrighteousnes. It escellates to idolotry. Then to sexual immorality and homosexuality. It escellates further to depravity, and hatred of anything Godly. The final solution, without Christ's involvement, is death. It all begins here in verse 18 with God revealing his nature and feelings about sin. Jesus Loves you, Jesusman |

37 | When to turn your cheek and when not to? | Matt 5:39 | Jesusman | 193202 | ||
My Dad, who's a pastor, tells me that I should pick my battles. He tells this to teachers, parents, and even newlyweds. The premise being that there are some situations where it will be better to simply let slide, or to turn the other cheek as it were. However, there will be other times when it will be best to stand your ground. There's a story that my Dad told me once. A heavy weight boxer retired from the ring and went into the ministry. He became a pastor of a church in a big city. Time passed and most saw him as the pastor instead of the former Boxer. One day, he was walking back home from the church when he was suprised by a young man with a knife. He easily knocked the knife away, and the young assailant punched the Pastor across the jaw. The pastor then turned his head and pointed to the other one and told the young man to hit him there also. The young man did. The Pastor then grinned, cracked his knuckles and told the young man this, "The Bible says I should turn the other cheek when I get hit, but it doesn't say I have to turn the other cheek twice." The Pastor's young assailant fled the scene. It's a funny story, but it gets the point across. There comes a time when no matter how many cheeks you turn, the hitting will continue. At some point you'll need to stand up and stop the situation. Jesusman |

38 | what does it mean that it says solomon d | Bible general Archive 3 | Jesusman | 193201 | ||
Not sure what you are referring to, but 1 kings 11 does reveal that Solomon, in his later days, greatly angered God. Solomon had married many foreign women and began to raise altars to the gods they worshipped as well as worshipping them also. It doesn't say that Solomon died an evil death, but God did say he would take the throne away from Solomon's line, which happened twice. First, there was the split of the kingdom under the reign of his son, Rehaboam. Later on, the Kingdom of Judah, which was ruled by Jeconiah a decendant of Solomon, was captured by the Babylonians.

39 | how do you deal with a lying spirit? | 1 John 4:1 | Jesusman | 193200 | ||
Take the advice of John in 1 John 4:1-6 and test what is being said to determine if they are of God or not. Then, take the advice of Jesus in Matthew 18:15-20 if the person claims to be a christian and confront the person. If they refuse to listen, bring another and approach him again. After you go through this, if the person still continues, then, as Jesus puts him, treat him as a gentile or tax collector. Basically, as being unwanted, and don't associate with him. For others, You might want to read up on what Paul told the Ephesians in Ephesians 4:17 - 5:21. To summerize, be immitators of christ and speak truthfully, honorably, and let your speech edify and aid others. You might also concider what Jesus told the multitude in John 8:41-47, basically that those who lie are of Satan. Jesusman |
