21 | SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH | Heb 9:27 | New Creature | 181356 | ||
Robert; Just a personal note from my point of view. I believe any prayers said at a funeral rite should be for those still living. We can pray that God will use the circumstance to get others to consider where they will spend eternity. I don't however see what prayer can accomplish for the dead. |

22 | Is masturbation wrong? | Rom 2:15 | New Creature | 181355 | ||
Honestly answer this question. After having peformed this sort of act, does your conscience bother you at all? Do you find yourself left with a guilty conscience? Rom 2:15 their conscience bearing witness ... accusing or else excusing them); God gave us a conscience. Does your conscience sense any guilt after such acts? If so, the act is wrong, and God is using your conscience to let you know it displeases Him. |

25 | Racial Marriage, is it okay or not? | Bible general Archive 3 | New Creature | 181077 | ||
Actually there is only one race of people, and that is the human race. Red, yellow, black, or white, they are all precious in God's sight. Once again the only restrictions I see in Scripture is that believers shouldn't marry unbelievers |

28 | What translation do you prefer and why? | Heb 6:6 | New Creature | 180938 | ||
I prefer the NASB for it's word for word literalness. Below is what I believe is one translations miswording. Heb 6:6 KJV If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. From what I understand the word "if" was inserted into the King James Translation by a person named Beza who was a disciple of John Calvin, and there is no justification for it whatsoever in the Greek. The NASB says, "and then have fallen away"; the ASV puts it, "and then fell away"; the word "if" is not in the Greek in verse 6: In earlier translations vs. 6 reads: And having fallen away which was restored back to original meaning in the NASB Weymouth says "and then fall away"; Goodspeed translates it "and yet have fallen back." Consider what Adam Clarke wrote about this and the aorist tense: "And having fallen away." I can express my own mind on this translation nearly in the words of Dr. Macknight: "The participles who were enlightened, have tasted, and were made partakers, being aorists, are properly rendered by our translators in the past time; wherefore parapesontas, being an aorist, ought likewise to have been translated in the past time, ‘HAVE fallen away.’ Nevertheless, our translators, following …… Beza, who without any authority from ancient MSS. has inserted in his version the word ‘if,’ have rendered this clause, IF they fall away, that this text might not appear to contradict the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints. But as no translator should take upon him to add to or alter the Scriptures, for the sake of any favourite doctrine, I have translated parapesontas in the past time, ‘have fallen away,’ according to the true import of the word, as standing in connection with the other aorists in the preceding verses" (italics and capitals his). |

29 | Heaven helps those who help themselves. | Bible general Archive 3 | New Creature | 180936 | ||
UncleCnn. That statement cannot be found anywhere in the Bible. Samuel Smiles (1812-1904) published the first self-consciously personal-development "self-help" book — entitled "Self-Help" — in 1859. Its opening sentence- "Heaven helps those who help themselves", provides a variation of "God helps them that help themselves", the oft-quoted maxim that also appeared previously in Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanac (1733 - 1758).

35 | Are there isolated evidences for this | Acts 17:30 | New Creature | 180857 | ||
As I see it, all that must be known about God, can be known. All men will stand before God without excuse. God has or will reveal Himself to "all men" either by way of internal special revelation, or external natural revelation. Rom 1:20 NLT From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God. Rom. 1:19-20 "makes it clear, that there is a revelation of God in nature that every man sees and knows. It is clear enough so that no one can miss it and universal enough so that no one can claim to be ignorant of it." Verse 19 says it two different times: "Since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them." Then verse 20 says it again: "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen." "The truth about God is clearly seen in creation. That truth is available to every person. That truth "gets through" to every person. That explains why every culture on earth has some conception of a Supreme Being" Robert Mounce offers this helpful summary of the biblical teaching (Themes From Romans, p.12): No one is excluded. No one can get away with saying, "I don't believe in God." As someone has said, "You can't turn out the light by closing your eyes." The heathen who has never heard the gospel or the name of Jesus is as responsible as anyone else. Not for failing to accept a message he has never heard, but for rejecting the knowledge of God revealed in creation. People do not suffer eternal exclusion from God for not having been born to the right parents in the right part of the world, but for rejecting that knowledge of God which is readily available for all. Adrian Rogers tells of a man who owns a trucking company in the south where part of the hiring process is a lie detector test on which one of the questions is “Do you believe in God?". They have observed that even avowed atheists who answer this question "no" are shown to be liars by the lie detector! Note - I included some various short comments in my above reply from sources unknown to me." |

I love the following comment an individual by the name of Georgius made concerning 1 John 2:2 "Christ is the propitiation for the sins of the whole world; and hence those who wish to exclude the reprobate from participation in Christ must place them outside the world." |

37 | Confused With Pastor | Rom 10:9 | New Creature | 173165 | ||
It appears the Pastor you spoke to, was merely looking for tell-tale signs and evidence that you had a genuine conversion. There are many individuals who have false professions of faith, and think they are saved, when actually they are not. I'm not saying thats the case with you, because I don't know you. Likewise, not personally knowing you, the Pastor you spoke with, was just doing the Pastorly thing, in attempting to determine whether or not you have a relationship with Christ Jesus, and what changes have occured in your life sine you received Christ by faith. If you have been saved, then changes must have taken place in your life. These changes can be sudden and abrupt, while other changes can occur gradually over time. Either way, it's not possible to become saved, and not have changes take place. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come. (2 Cor. 5:17 Christ gives us a new attitude, and we begin moving in a new direction. We now love the things of God, and our love for the things of the world decrease. We now love Christ and the brethren, and desire to fellowship with them, because we are all one in Christ. That means we are His family members, and have all things in common. It is just natural for family to want to spend time together, Therefore I would advise you to find a Bible believing church to regularly attend. Even if you don't want to become a member. Jesus calls us His flock or sheep, and sheep need each other. When we are in the flock, the good Shepherd provides protection from the wolves, who are ready to devour the lone sheep. One last thing. If you have been saved you will have the internal witness of the Holy Spirit, testifying with your spirit that you now are a child of God. Rom 8:16 The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God: It is good to desire baptism, but make sure it's for the right reason. NC |

38 | Freem will, why? | Deut 29:29 | New Creature | 171886 | ||
One possible reason, is because if God merely created beings that had no freedom of choice, then what He would have created would be robots, and I don't think robots can willingly love God in return. God wanted to create beings that would willingly love and obey Him in return. | ||||||
39 | evolution and the bible | Gen 1:21 | New Creature | 167989 | ||
We have to define what you mean by evolution. If by evolution you mean macro-evolution, (the change of one species into a different species, then no. A horse cannot become a sheep etc. that would be macro-evolution which doesn't happen However, if you are thinking of micro-evolution, (variations among species) such as the many varieties of dogs, then yes. While there are many varieties of dogs, they are still dogs. Dogs never cross the species barrier. A dog cannot become a horse or anything but a dog. As a side-note, and in a humorous way you may want to go to the following link and see what comes up. http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/images/blclintonevolution.htm Go ahead, you'll like what you find. |
