21 | (again) Apostles mistaken? | Col 3:17 | Ric | 982 | ||
I assume you are talking about Acts 2:38, where it says: "Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (NIV) This is talking about "Baptism of the Holy Spirit" and not "water baptism". I am not trying to to say that you are in this or that denomination, I just said that it sounds like the teaching of "Oneness Pentecostalism" by the question your asking. It is a good question to ask, for we need to know or try our best to know what God is telling us. I might not be the best one to explain what God is trying to tell us from His Word, I am only a laymen in our Lord's Church. Apologetics is a hobby of mine that I've been self teaching myself for the past four years now, and I will try my best to explain God's Word as He want's us to know it and not my will. In God's Grace, Ric |

22 | Apostles mistaken? | Col 3:17 | Ric | 967 | ||
What you are talking about sounds like an "Oneness Pentecostalism" way of water baptism. In a answer below titled "Remember, that (water) Bapt..." might be of some help. I can come back later with a better explanation if needed. In God's Grace, Ric |

23 | In Jesus' name...except baptism? | Col 3:17 | Ric | 931 | ||
"In the name of the Lord Jesus" reflects the thought that to act in the name of a person is to act as his representative. Whereas those who become disciples are to be baptized "into" the name of the Trinity. I guess that's the simplest way I can state it, is that what you are looking for? |

24 | sins of father repaid by son? | Genesis | Ric | 879 | ||
Exodus 20:5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. (NAS) "punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me" notice the words at the end of this read: "of those who hate me". The full formula includes the important qualifier "of those who hate me." |

25 | reincarnation in the bible? | John 9:3 | Ric | 878 | ||
John 9:2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?" 3 Jesus answered, "It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was in order that the works of God might be displayed in him. (NAS) Your answer is in the next verse. People who take Scripture out of context to try to support their dogma come a dozen to a dime. Please try to show the context of the passage to the people whom try to support their "beliefs" by using Scripture out of context. But it's sad to say that most of the time they won't listen to God's true Word. |

26 | can you know people you never met before | John 3:16 | Ric | 810 | ||
I believe it because we are all brothers and sisters in Christ, you know - one big family! And if we are one big family, we should know our brothers and sisters. Sorry that I can't think of any Scripture to back this up, but that's just what I think. God Bless! In God's Grace, Ric |

27 | I CAME TO FULFILL THE LAW | Matt 5:17 | Ric | 641 | ||
Read Matthew 5:17-48 | ||||||
28 | Rapture - Bodies or souls disappear? | Matt 24:27 | Ric | 637 | ||
Philippians 3:21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. (NIV) (Also read: 1 Corinthians 15:19-54) Yes, I believe that our bodies will dissappear from this Earth, but we will receive glorified bodies then too. |

29 | How best to translate Ps. 45:6? | Psalm | Ric | 565 | ||
Clearly the Jehovah's Witnesses are wrong again. I don't know if you know about their "Bible" the "New World Translation" or "NWT"? They (the Jehovah's Witnesses) change quite a few verses to suit their false teachings. Like in John 1:1 (In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [NAS]), the NWT changes the text to read something like this; "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a God." ..... That verse the JW's translate into their "Bible" is changed so that it reads like Jesus is not God. (sigh) Well, it sounds like the verse you quoted sounds like another "mis-translation", and most likely is that way to support their false gospel. I don't know if this helps any, but I see you are on the right track! In God's Grace, Ric |

30 | WHERE DID MAGI'S COME FROM? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ric | 564 | ||
I had to look this one up, I never thought about that question before. Good question PYLE! ............................ MAGI (Gr. magoi). Originally a religious caste among the Persians. Their devotion to astrology, divination, and the interpretation of dreams led to an extension in the meaning of the word, and by the first century B.C. the terms "magi" and "Chaldean" were applied generally to fortune tellers and the exponents of esoteric religious cults throughout the Mediterranean world. Magus or "sorcerer" is the name given to Simon (Acts 8:9), Bar-Jesus (13:6), and Elymas (13:8). The "wise men from the East" (Matt 2) are often referred to as "the Magi." Nothing is known of their land of origin, but it is a likely theory that they came from Arabia Felix (Southern Arabia). Astrology was practiced there, and a tradition of Israelite messianic expectation may have survived in the region since the days of the Queen of Sheba. Early legend connects Southern Arabia with Solomon's Israel, but the legend of "the Three Kings" is late and medieval. (NIV Bible Dictionary) |

31 | First martyr after Christ's resurrection | Acts 7:59 | Ric | 279 | ||
I believe it was Stephen recorded in Acts 7:59 | ||||||
32 | Anyone else-First Fruits? | 1 Thessalonians | Ric | 185 | ||
"First Fruits Rapture"? No, I have never heard of this term before. Frist fruits mean a few different things in the Bible; (Here are a few examples: EX 23:16; RO 8:23; 1CO 15:23; JAS 1:18; REV 14:4)........... As for "first fruits rapture", where you have heard that from, please ask the one (if you can) what was ment by that and post it here, I'll try my best to find out. |

33 | What will this song make people fear? | Ps 40:3 | Ric | 183 | ||
Fear stated here is the awe and reverence felt in the presence of a higher authority. Only for god. | ||||||
34 | Is this the first time John saw Jesus? | John 1:29 | Ric | 162 | ||
There's no Biblical account of this being the first time that John and Jesus met, but they were cousins (both of their mothers were sisters) and I think thay might have grown up with each other. Remember that John leaped in his mother's womb (Luke 1:41) when Mary met Elizabeth (Mary's sister), so being filled with the Holy Spirit John knew that the baby in Mary's womb was the Christ. | ||||||
35 | Why "son of man"? | Dan 8:17 | Ric | 160 | ||
The phrase identifies Him with humanity (Heb 2:14-18) and with the heavenly Son of Man (Da 7:13-14). | ||||||
36 | Good study guide for Revelation? | Revelation | Ric | 153 | ||
I just last year did a study on the book of Revelation, and I used a study guide called: "God's Word for the Biblically-Inept" which is a new series from Starburst Publishers. I found it very easy to use, but I think it left me asking more questions about the book of Revelation at the end of the study. I would recomend it for someone new to Bible study. | ||||||
37 | Bible differences, Christian-Catholic | Bible general Archive 1 | Ric | 152 | ||
The Apocrypha are interspersed among the canonical books of the Old Testament in the LXX and Vulgate, but not found in the Hebrew Old Testament. The Jewish people, who produced the Old Testament from the inspiration of God, and Protestants do not consider the Apocrypha canonical. The Roman Catholic Church received the Apocrypha as deuterocanonical at the Council of Trent in 1546. | ||||||
38 | Could someone explain these descendances | Genesis | Ric | 138 | ||
I looked this up in my Bible dictionary, I don't think it will help you much, but give it a read. .................. LAMECH (Heb. lemekh, meaning undetermined). 1. A son of Methushael (Gen 4:18-24) and a descendant of Cain, who had two wives, Adah and Zillah. His sons founded the nomadic life and the musical arts, and invented metalcrafts and instruments of war. Lamech's song (4:23-24) expresses every feature of Hebrew poetry (alliteration, parallelism, poetic diction, etc.). 2. The son of Methuselah (5:28-31). This man, a descendant of Seth, became the father of Noah. His faith is attested by the name he gave his son, Noah (meaning "rest"), and by the hope of "comfort" (5:29) that he anticipated in his son's life. ................... I'm just a layperson without much Bible study (just Bible study at home and at church), but I'll keep trying to answer posts here - it help's me understand God's Word better too! | ||||||
39 | holy kiss | 1 Thess 5:26 | Ric | 137 | ||
The holy kiss (Rom 16:16; 1 Cor 16:20; 2 Cor 13:12; 1 Thess 5:26) was adopted as a formal greeting among believers. The holy kiss showed love and charity. I would not like to think of the opposite. .......... But, kisses were shown to be used in different ways in the Bible too, I'll list some of the negatives here: An act of worship toward heathen gods (1 Kings 19:18, 20; Job 31:27; Hos 13:2). To lure illicit love (Prov 7:13). Judas kissed Jesus to betray Him (Matt 26:48-49; Mark 14:44-45; Luke 22:47-48). ................... I hope this helps. |

40 | Daniel: Son of man? | Dan 8:17 | Ric | 136 | ||
In Hebrew, "son of man" means an individual man. The Lord used this phrase in addressing Daniel, and over 80 times in addressing Ezekiel. | ||||||
