22 | how old is this world? | Genesis | hopalong | 203686 | ||
the following is from...gotquestions.org Ultimately, the age of the earth cannot be proven. Whether 6,000 years or 4.6 billion years – both viewpoints (and everything in between) rests on faith and assumptions. Those who hold to 4.6 billion years trust that methods such as radiometric dating are reliable, and that nothing has occurred in history that may have disrupted the normal decay of radio-isotopes. Those who hold to 6,000 years trust that the Bible is true, and that other factors explain the “apparent” age of the earth, such as the global flood, or God creating the universe in a state that “appears” to give it an very long age. As an example, God created Adam and Eve as fully-grown adult human beings. If a doctor were to have examined Adam and Eve on the day of their creation, the doctor would have estimated their age at 20 years (or whatever age they appeared to be) - when, in fact, Adam and Eve were less than one day old. Whatever the case, there is always good reason to trust the Word of God over the words of atheistic scientists with an evolutionary agenda. |

23 | Who are the "sons of God" in Genesis 6? | Gen 6:2 | hopalong | 189152 | ||
Friend... The synopsis of Genesis chapter 6, is that the Sons of God took the daughters of men to wife. They were believers who disobeyed God and went after the unsaved women who looked good, and in turn they brought forth unsaved seed who corrupted the earth so that there was nothing but evil continually. And God saw what they had done and sent the flood to wipe out the wickedness. And all perished except Noah and His. let that be a lesson to all of us. We must not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever, for that will cause terrible repercussions down the road. Unfortunately, this is "Exactly" what is happening today. Not only with believers going after, and marrying unbelievers literally, but also spiritually as the church is unequally yoking themselves with unbelievers. They are making all kinds of excuses for their actions, and they just don't realize what this error will bring upon the Church. Just as it did when Israel went after the women and men of the heathen nations around her. These turned them to false Gods and abominations. Slowly but surely (like a creeping vine or spreading cancer) it became their destruction. I speak out about this, but somehow, this just doesn't seem important to the Church today. I sadly say, "we learn from history, ..that we do not learn from History." I know this is as it must be, but my earnest Prayer is that some (though few that must be), will by Grace of God begin to learn from History. ..Bible History. Peace,(Tony Warren) I agree with tony Warrens conclusion for the following reason: it is based on Scipture alone. Let the Bible interpret the Bible. Throughout the old and new Testaments "sons of God is" are believers! |

24 | confused about Noahs son | Gen 9:22 | hopalong | 209613 | ||
Hi Mick, Noah was a righteous man, but he was not sinless. His son Ham, rather than calling his brothers to join him in deriding his father, should have covered his father's nakedness himself and not called his brothers to join him in witnesing his father's shameful condition. Thanks be to Christ that He has covered us with a robe by which our sins are not exposed to judgement. Hopalog |

25 | How do you reconcile unexpected deaths? | Ex 20:13 | hopalong | 208084 | ||
Dear Dawna, our friend george has over looked the fact that our sins (past, present and future)have been been paid for by Jesus who died for 'His people" so they might live. Matt 1:21 "She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." Hopalong |

26 | Scripture spare the rod spoit the child | Prov 13:24 | hopalong | 216808 | ||
Spare The Rod, Spoil the Child This was a common phrase in the previous century, and still exists today. It refers to the practice of spanking your children in discipline; the phrase "spare the rod, spoil the child" means that if you don't punish your children when they do wrong, you'll spoil them. This comes from a Biblical proverb (: "He who withholds his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently." |

27 | Ezekiel's False Propheys Like Today? | Ezek 13:6 | hopalong | 207305 | ||
Dear Tumbleweed, My own thoughts on the subject are to put my confidence in God's Holy Bible alone. That does not mean that I don't seek guidence from my pastor or others that are more spirtualy mature than myself. Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. HOPPY ps I WOULD NOT PUT ANY STOCK IN THOSE WHO CLAIM THAT GOD SENT THEM A MESSAGE FOR YOU!HE IS CERTAINLY ABLE TO SEND A MESSGE TO YOU DIRECTLY. |

29 | What does it mean to be poor in spirit? | Matthew | hopalong | 207454 | ||
Dear sunilpb426 To be "poor in spirit" is to be totaly dependent on Jesus. It is the realization of our own spiritual poverty. Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure; Save from wrath and make me pure. Not the labor of my hands Can fulfill Thy law’s demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone. Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to the cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die. While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyes shall close in death, [originally When my eye-strings break in death] When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.

Those whom the Father had given Him! 17:9 "I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours; John 17:10 and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them. John 17:11 "I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are. Hoppy |

31 | How does one know their faith is real? | Matt 7:21 | hopalong | 186948 | ||
As an immature believer, I would look to my profession of faith and agonize over whether or not my faith was genuine. In other words, I was looking in the wrong place for my assurance. I no longer look to my faith; rather I look to the object of my faith, Jesus Christ. He is my righteousness. He is my assurance! Luke 18:13 "But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!' Luke 18:14 "I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted." Hopalong |

34 | in search of the truth | Luke 15:29 | hopalong | 203259 | ||
FyRobert, In response to your question, I say that our worship services must be focused solely on the glorification of God. Having said that...I also would point out that it would not be inaproppriate to honor fathers or mothers PRIOR to the commencement Of the service itself. Thanks for asking, what I beleive, is an important question, Hopalong |

35 | Knowledge of Messiah | John 3:1 | hopalong | 219016 | ||
Cor 2:10 For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. 1 Cor 2:11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. 1 Cor 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, 1 Cor 2:13 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. 1 Cor 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. 1 Cor 2:15 But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. 1 Cor 2:16 For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ. HOPALONG |

36 | Jesus was a very good man | John 3:16 | hopalong | 199953 | ||
I would give Him the Good News and pray that God the Holy Spirit would bring to the man the Gift of regeneration. 1 Cor 1:18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Cor 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, 1 Cor 2:13 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. 1 Cor 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.

37 | choosing a church? | John 15:5 | hopalong | 199594 | ||
First and foremost I would pray for God's leading...John 15:5 "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. May God grant your prayer by leading you to a church that preaches Christ, and Him crucified. A church that is founded in Holy Writ and teaches it faithfully to the glory of God. God bless, Hopalong |

38 | Reconciling Eph 2:8-9, with Rom 2:6-7. | Rom 2:1 | hopalong | 190232 | ||
Dear Old pilgrim, I believe that Paul has the church as a whole in mind. All churches are composed of those who are truly saved and those who merely think that they are saved. "by there fruit you will know them." It appears that the apostle is issuing a warning aimed at correcting those who ignore the fact that it is true repentance which leads to sanctification. Examine yourself is the message to all. Hopalong |
