Leviticus and Genesis1:29-31 | ||||||
22 | What does "THE ARM OF THE LORD" mean? | John 12:38 | popdzl | 39335 | ||
God created man in His image, therefore, He has two arms as we do. One arm, the right, He uses to shew forth mercy; the other, severity. Therefore, if we "see" His arm, we will experience either an act of mercy or of severity. As believers, it is important that we stay away from actions which would have Him "show" us His arm of severity and that we encourage actions, thoughts, etc. that would allow Him to "show" us His Holy arm, the right arm, of mercy. (I say allow because He is bound by His Word, and as such will not do certain things until we do certain things.) |

23 | How do you "honor" lying parents? | Matt 23:9 | popdzl | 39329 | ||
The Bible means that we should honor our Father in heaven for He is our true father. As for our parents on earth, we should honor them as authority figures (as all authority is given by the grace of God). However, when we become men and women, their authority is limited to the authority which we or our circumstances give them, and if we marry, they have no more authority (unless you give it to them). Verily, I say unto you, nevermind your in-laws and honor your Father in heaven by keeping his commandments, judgements, and ways. If you do this, He will be your stronghold from everlasting to everlasting. (Also check out Proverbs 25:22.) |

24 | Wife learning to control tongue......... | Bible general Archive 1 | popdzl | 38696 | ||
The epistle of James has a wealth of wisdom on controling the tongue. The Book of Proverbs is also a vast storehouse on righteous living. Consider both of these (especially Prov 27:19) when having discussions with your husband or anyone else for that matter. Also, Joyce Meyer has a book out called, "Me and My Big Mouth," which expounds on the significance and practice (all bibilically-based) of controling the mouth. | ||||||
25 | WAS JESUS GOD ON EARTH TOO OR JUSTMAN | Ps 8:5 | popdzl | 38287 | ||
Jesus is not Good; He is righteous. I believe that the scripture is referring to the fact that Jesus walked the earth in the flesh. In doing so, He was made a little lower than the angels because the flesh is man's sinful nature. | ||||||
26 | What does humility mean for the believer | Acts 7:51 | popdzl | 38211 | ||
For the believer it means doing the will of the Lord. As believers, the Lord has instructed us in the ways we as believers should carry ourselves emotionally, physically, and mentally. Some of these ways are not natural to us as individuals, in those instances we must humble ourselves and do as we have been instructed. In some cases, the Lord may be personally instructing us to do something; as humble believers, we do it. Study the word "stiff-necked" (the opposite of humility) throughout the Bible and you might be able to get a clearer understanding of what humility should mean to the believer. | ||||||
27 | What is the "NAME" of that church...? | Acts 2:44 | popdzl | 38208 | ||
The problem, my friend, is that everybody confines their thoughts of "church" to physical buildings and such. However, Jesus taught, if two or more are gathered in his name then there is church. But, due to greed, anger, and delusion, a mind set has developed in which people believe that if they are not in a building called a church, then they are not in church. Much of this has to do with the Church as an organization. | ||||||
28 | why is Acts 2:44 not practiced today | Acts 2:44 | popdzl | 38206 | ||
Greed, Anger, and Delusion. | ||||||
29 | How sinful is "fallen away"? | Mark 4:16 | popdzl | 38195 | ||
Hey Reformer Joe- In reference to your question, I would like to say that "fallen away" (Mark 4:16) which Zach writes about in his question or note (I'm really unclear which it was) is not the same as Hebrew 6:4-6. In Mark 4:16, Jesus says that the Word is "fallen away" from those who have received the Word with joy and gladness, but in times of difficulty do not abide by the Word. He is not saying that they are fallen away because of sin; he is saying that because they have no faith, they do not trust in and abide by the Word in difficulty just as a seed sown on hard ground will "fall away" when a hard wind or rain comes along. Compare the ground or soil to the heart, the Word to a seed, and adversity to anything which would hinder a growing seedling and you may be able to get a clearer idea of what the whole parable (and any other comparison or parable dealing with seeds, plants, etc.) is conveying as far as a person receiving the teachings of Christ. As far as Hebrews 6:4-6 goes, note that the passage states that a person who has become enlightened (not just saved) and such can not fall away and come back by repentence. Here we have a different situation from Mark 4:16. Hebrews speaks on some one who has followed the path and gained gifts, fruits, and powers inherent on attaining certain "distance" on the path but who then "falls away" in the sense of turning away from the path or denouncing/renouncing the path not in the sense of a saved person sinning. However, to one who has attained that level of enlightenment and such, sinning would be an act of denouncing the path. In this instance there is no repentence because that person would be mocking God. To answer the first two parts of your question, all we must do to stay in grace is have lasting trust and faith in the Word. This implies doing the will of God and repenting if we transgress. Unless we reach the level of faith on which Hebrews 6:4-6 speaks, we will never fall out of grace if we repent. However, this touches on Rev 3:14-19 on being lukewarm which is an abomination to the Lord. If you do not know already, to God, one sin is just as bad as another. There is no scale of relativity in that matter. |

30 | explain the first four verses of luke 4 | Luke | popdzl | 37330 | ||
The first four verses of Luke 4 is the beginning of the temptation of Christ. After God sent the Holy Ghost to fill Christ, the Holy Ghost led Jesus to the wilderness in order to be tested. (God tests us all in all sorts of manner to see if we are worthy of His gifts.) Satan thus began to test him by tempting him to use His heveanly gifts; had He done so, it would not have made him a fit sacrifice for the sins of man, and thus blocking our way to salvation. | ||||||
31 | Who else besides Cain, Adam, and Eve? | Genesis | popdzl | 16209 | ||
Yes there were other people. Adam was created before the end of the third day,Gen 2:5-7, however he did not live on the earth he lived in Eden. Gen 1:26-31 shows that the rest of mankind was created on the sixth day and inhabited the earth. | ||||||
32 | Explain Hebrew letters used in Psalm 119 | Psalm | popdzl | 37315 | ||
Hebrew letters are holy symbols. Their significance in Ps 119 is that each "paragraph" is a meditation on the symbolical meaning of the letter. Therefore, in the meditation on aleph, which means "ox", we have imagery of being directed or led on a path much as an ox is directed or led by its master. Here is a list of the meanings of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. You can use it to draw your own images: Aleph- ox Beth- house Gimel- camel Daleth- door He- window Vau- hook, pin Zayin- sword or armor Cheth- fence, enclosure Teth- serpent Yod- hand Kaph- fist Lamed- ox goad Mem- water Nun- fish Samekh- prop, foundation Ayin- eye Peh- mouth Tzaddi- fishhook Quoph- ear. back of the neck Resh- head Shin- tooth Tau- cross |

33 | where can i locate jehovah, jehovah jir | Genesis | popdzl | 37305 | ||
Those terms are in Genesis scattered throughout. The stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob contain most of the uses of those terms. Pay attention to the naming of wells, encampments, and cities which any of these three may have founded or visited. As God would manifest something, they would name the place after the manifestation, e.g. One city, Luz, was renamed Beth-el,the house of God, because Jacob saw angels ascending to and descending from heaven and spoke with God there. | ||||||
34 | predestination - free will or God | John | popdzl | 11925 | ||
Matthew 6:24, Luke 15:11-21, 1Sam. 15:1-9. God does choose which ones of us that he wants, but he does not get us by force. We have the free choice of obeying or disobeying just as children. However, God is merciful and just; so if any of us who have disobeyed decide to accept him, he will accept us as we are and then work with us to become what he would like us to be. Once we have accepted him in our hearts, he will bestow gifts upon us peace being one of them and that is the seed of faith. | ||||||
35 | What was Jesus writing? | John | popdzl | 27020 | ||
What he was writing is inconsequential to the answering of the people; He did that because he knew the hearts of the people. They really were not concerned with the sin or punishment of the lady; they only wanted to trip up Jesus in His teachings using His own words. However, He was not writing down their sins as there was no judgement given. | ||||||
36 | do we need the Holy Spirit to go to Heav | John | popdzl | 37285 | ||
No, you do not need the Holy Spirit to go to Heaven. It, the Holy Spirit, is a gift to those who are abiding by commandments of God. | ||||||
37 | Did son of man ascended down from heaven | John | popdzl | 37263 | ||
The Son of Man descended from heaven, ascended to heaven, and was in heaven all at the same time. The Son of Man is Jesus who is the word incarnate. The is the same word which was with God and was God. As such, He, the Son of Man, has the ability to transcend space and time. For the word, time does not exist as people of the flesh know it. Cf. John 8:48-59. | ||||||
38 | Why Jesus live Lazarus die after raised | John | popdzl | 37260 | ||
Lazarus was a man who died and whose spirit was put back into the same body, thus he died again. Whereas Jesus is the son of God who is spirit. Spirit begets spirit, so when Jesus was born, he was not just a man, he was the word incrnate, i.e. in the flesh (provided by Mary). Thus, when Jesus was crucified, it was his fleshly nature which died, not His spirit (provided by God). Henceforth, He was resurrected and continues to live. Ultimately the symbology behind this is that God can bring life to anything which is figuretively or literally dead e.g. a person or an idea and that the Word lives on until the end of the Earth. Excellent question Eugean, thanks. | ||||||
39 | My question is did Solomon die in or out | 1 Kings | popdzl | 37255 | ||
He was on the outs. 1Kings 11:11-13 shows that God has brought a judgement down on Solomon. He was merciful only because of His promises to David. Verses 4-8 of the same chapter say that Solomon turned his heart away from the Lord and performed acts which were wicked in His sight. God is not able to have a relationship with anyone who turns there heart away from Him, cf. Saul (1Sam 15:22-23). | ||||||
40 | Why punish the man of God? | 1 Kings | popdzl | 37252 | ||
This passage of scripture allows us to see that we who have heard from God must follow through with what He has spoken unless He tells us otherwise. The prophet was not the original courier of the word to the man of God, therefore the man of God should not have listened to him even if he said that an angel told him it was OK for him to do so. If he had been uncertain, he could have asked God. The punishment for priests and knowers of the word is always more severe than for general believers and non-believers. God allowed the prophet to be used (either by Him or Satan) to test the man of God. | ||||||
