21 | Please explain Haggai 1:12 (Fear) | Hag 1:12 | Scribe | 86613 | ||
ary yare' yaw-ray' a primitive root; to fear; morally, to revere; caus. to frighten:--affright, be (make) afraid, dread(-ful), (put in) fear(-ful, -fully, -ing), (be had in) reverence(-end), X see, terrible (act, -ness, thing). The verse above this concludes a message calling the people to a new attitude toward God. Haggai 1:11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands. Today we would hear many preachers say God did not call the drought, but those that fear the Lord cringe when such a message is preached, because they know the balance of the Holy Spirit, to both Love the Lord and Fear the Lord. We Fear the Lord in reverential fear, but that does not make it anyless awesome of a fear. We still fall on our face before His holiness and tremble. He has shown us His Love by sending us His son and we enter into fellowship with Him and are friends, but woe to the man that takes that lightly and thinks that he can play the harlot with God. He will find that God still calls forth the drought to lead people to repentance if they forget God in prosperity. Fearing God is not a contradiction to Love. It is often said "But I do not want to fear my father, I want to have a love relationship with him." That is true, but if your earthly father was a good father, he could make your stomach turn somersaults if you got caught doing something you knew you were not supposed to be doing. This is because you knew your father loved you enough to discipline you. Hebrews 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? If more preachers preached the Fear of God as Paul did, there would be fewer backsliders and those that did backslide would be more miserable while they were doing so. The goodness of God leads men to repentance, but the fear of God is part of the goodness of God not something else. |

22 | Matthew 16:28 | Matt 16:28 | Scribe | 86579 | ||
as has been mentioned already by the other answers, it is speaking of the mount of transiguration. The some of you, were Peter, James and John. Peter said that he witnessed the Power of the COming and glory of Christ when he saw this on the mount in the epistle of Peter. So it does speak of the 2nd coming, and it is saying that those that are alive when Jesus comes again will be transfigured and shine with this same glory. The disappearing rapture theory is a mistake. The word says we are changed and rise, not dissapear and rise. We are glorified and rise. We will shine with the same Glory that Jesus had and the world will see it in my opinion. A holy vindication of all that have been persecuted by the wicked. |

23 | Who are YOU? | Rom 3:3 | Scribe | 86577 | ||
Might I add that when we ask James' bones.. "Who are you"? The answer will not come from the analysis of the text upon the crypt, but the answer will be given in that day.. when the voice of the archangel, and the trump of God is heard.. Then if those bones belong to the author of James, they will be gathered where ever they lie and in any condition they are in, even if atomically dissolved, and they will be glorified into a new body that will never die, this is the answer to "who are you" that my dead bleached bones will give you as well. And in that day will be manifested "who are the sons of god" and who were not. May God Bless you as you study His Word. |

24 | PLEASE TELL ME | Ps 143:6 | Scribe | 86576 | ||
Psalms 143:6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. I think you might be quoting a song sung in some churches, and is probably based on this scripture. |

25 | When did say the words at John 10:1-21? | John 10:22 | Scribe | 86574 | ||
John 7:2-3 Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand. His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. The feast of tabernaclee was two months before the feast of dedication (renewal) In John 10:22 It is now two months later, and Jesus is using the public activity to minister. THe feast of dedication which was instituted by Juda Maccabaeus between the testaments was in memorial of the purification of the temple after Antiochus Epiphanes had polluted it. I don't think Jesus being there suggest that it was ordained of God as something they were meant to observe. |

26 | husband leave wife for God | Luke | Scribe | 86569 | ||
The KJV has the word gune for wife, I don't know why NASB or NIV would leave it out, but there are instances where they left out words that the KJV had in becuase they decided the oldest manuscripts did not have it in there or something to that effect. But really the meaning does not change. Put yourself in the times following the resurrection adn the persecution the church went through for so long. What if a wife told her husband if he kept serving Jesus she would turn him in to the sanhedrin to be killed. He would be forced to forsake his wife for Christ sake, either by death or hiding. Consider a woman in a muslim country who actually wants to live as an oppressed muslim woman and tells her husband that if he accepts Jesus Christ as saviour she will leave him. He would not be initiating a divorce, but if he choose Jesus and she left him, the same could still be said. .he forsook all for Christ. So whether it was father, mother, brother, sister or wife, that threaten to leave him or turn him in to the authorities the same truth is still understood, whether from the NASB or the KJV. Personally I think that the KVJ scholars using the best manuscripts they had plus many other previous translations is good enough for me. I think wife fits in their as well as the rest. We are supposed to honor mother and father also, but this does not mean we do not follow Christ if they tell us not to. The same applies to the wife, we do not seek to divorce an unbelieving wife, but we do not hesitate to obey Christ if she tells us she will leav us if we do. To follow Christ is forsaking her for Him, though we do leave her. May God Bless you as you study His Word. |

27 | How does the church respond to abuse? | Jer 5:31 | Scribe | 86516 | ||
On a follow-up to my previous post, I would also add that I do not say this is not a need to be dealt with by society in general. Certainly it is. There are many organizations that are working hard at exposing this problem and helping women break free from the bondage they are in. What I was addressing in the previous post was that if you get with the right churches you will see that they would be horrified that a pastor would not help you. Should we try and educate that pastor and those churches that hold such views as "that a woman should submit to abuse"? It is a lossing battle. You are putting the cart before the horse. This pastor just needs to get saved. Should we try and argue with someone that says a Practising Homosexual should be allowed to pastor? No! We should give them a gospel tract and stick to the message about salvation, they are not saved that would argue such a thing. They are either reprobate or confused and need to know about how to be saved. There are many churches that have homes and ministries for abused women and will help them with legal, housing, and other needs. | ||||||
28 | How does the church respond to abuse? | Jer 5:31 | Scribe | 86515 | ||
This is a good example of the differences we experience among different denomoniations and groups among those that we call the church. Of all the churches I have fellowshipped with since I was born again, the pastor would have told you to leave and include the law to help protect you and your family, and also provided a place to live while you needed it. Of all the churches that I have belonged to they would have said that this man needed to be born again. We do not believe that a born again saint will abuse his family. A born again man can fall into sin, but will not stay there and must be dealt with as soon as they surface if the man is sincere with the Lord. So it is sad that you experienced such darkness among those that would call themselves saints. I have never known a christian that interpreted the submission scriptures as an excuse to abuse their wives or family. I know it happens but I have never fellowshipped with such people. The churches I have been a part of rightly understood this as a voluntary submission in matters of spiritual leadership and even then the wife's opinion is well respected and decisions are not made without her agreement. Those that belligerantly make important decisions whether the wife agrees or not have always been told in my churches that they were wrong and were misinterpreting the submission scriptures. So you see how I have never seen this as a "big" problem in the church, becuase I have never seen this in the church. If a person fellowships with some denominations and "churches" they will think there is an important need to proove that Homosexuals should not be allowed to preach in the pulpit. When others hear about it they are almost speachless with shock and incredulous wonder that anyone would ever even think it is worth arguing about. If a church is so blind as to argue about that, or to discuss it as a possiblity then they are not the Church at all, they are some group of men that are calling themselves a church but are not even born again. So it is with this question of abuse. Do we really need a movement to convince pastors that they should intervene and help women being abused, and quit telling them to submit to it? No, the true church is shocked that an idiot would suggest such a thing to you. The answer is to find a real church with a real pastor that is really called by God to pastor, a shepherd of the sheep who feeds them the Word of God and is anointed by the Holy Spirit to rightly interpret the word of God. It does not take a theologian to know that you should not submit to abuse. May God Bless You as You Grow in His Word. |

Isaiah 14:12-14 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. | ||||||
30 | Why angels are not forgiven? | 2 Pet 2:4 | Scribe | 86461 | ||
1 Corinthians 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. The only answer I can think of at the time, is that man can be forgiven only because of Jesus becoming Flesh and dying for man. Since this is the only thing that allows man to be forgiven, it leaves out the redemption of fallen angels since there is no evidence of God's plan being to send an angel to die for angels, howbeit some might take up such an argument, that the Angel of the Lord Paul says is Christ therefore is there not sufficiency in the death of christ for angels as well, or does not the creator's sacrifice suffice for all creation. I do not know. Good question. |

31 | The priest of Eden? | Gen 3:21 | Scribe | 86456 | ||
Never thought of it like that. It is not a bad thought actually. The first sacrifice for sin it, no doubt, must have been, slain as it were, without hands on this first altar made for man the skins, only a shadow of the blood that would cover man before the flood And who is this garden priest of Eden? none other than the Lamb slain predestined.

32 | Why can God can love the world, not us? | 1 John 2:15 | Scribe | 86454 | ||
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. The first verse simply means God loves the whole world,all the people of the world and gave His Son to die and rise again for their salvation if they will believe on Jesus Christ and commit their lives to serving Him. The second verse is using the word world as it relates to worldy things that are sensual and sinful. For instance instead of saying it like this.. Love not lusts of the flesh, pride and baostful spirit, sexual lusts, rich luxurious living that caters to your sensual appetites, dressing as if you want others to think you are sexualy available, and the list would go on and on filling volumes of books... Instead of saying that the word "world" is used. Worldliness is being motivated and controlled by the appetites of the carnal nature that demand gratification regardless of morality, Holiness denies the appetites of the flesh, putting them down daily until they are so mortified that they are silent and do not demand gratification and the thought of gratifying them or stirring them up makes the holy man ill to his stomach to even contemplate due to the fear of God placed in his heart by the Holy Spirit. It is a walk that begins with conversion and then you take up the cross daily dying to yourself and living unto God, but the Lords ways are much more fun than the worlds ways so that in a short time you find that what you gave up and denied of the flesh was like giving up dung for a steak or giving up death for Life. Only a fool and blind chooses death over life. God loving the world does not mean loving sin, but all the people of the world. |
