21 | IS JESUS AND GOD THE SAME PERSON? | Romans | roviear | 55127 | ||
[specifically Romans chapters 1 - 8] Yes, Jesus and God are the same One (John 1:1). Jesus is the Intercessor because He sacrificed Himself for our sins. His blood cleanses us of our sins (1 John 1:9). Yes, a baby is born with sin, i.e. selfishness. Sin is eradicated through the acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your heart and life. |

22 | How can we bear another's burdens? | Gal 6:2 | roviear | 55096 | ||
Bearing each other's burdens could be a reference to any number of things. Essentially, each person's burdens are what that particular person finds hard to do himself. For example, a drunkard's obvious burden is one of resisting the lure of alcohol, so providing him activities that do not involve alcohol helps alleviate the temptation. A mother's burdens could be the daily tasks that are beginning to overwhelm her, so watching her children for a few hours would be a relief. A pastor's burdens sometimes extend to the ministering to his flock, so a qualified church member volunteering to teach a parenting class is a release from the many pulls on his time. A child's burden could be obedience, so genuine praise when the child is obedient encourages the child to continue in his actions. Burdens are anything we find a struggle to maintain, therefore we ask the Lord to help us bear up under them. As far as I can tell, He usually answers by sending someone to somehow assist us in our lives. |

23 | How could the Bible be perfect? | 1 Cor 13:10 | roviear | 54073 | ||
Amos 3:7 shows that God revealed Himself to the prophets 2 Peter 1:20-21 says that the Bible is not man's will or interpretation, but God's will 2 Tim 3:16,17 states that the Holy Spirit inspired the prophets, that all the books are God-breathed further points: a) although the Bible is written by 40 prophets over a span of about 1100 years, It is united and doesn't contradict Itself (pretty amazing stuff!) b) today's versions compared to actual writings have no additions or subtractions c) historical finds and current events prove the truth and accuracy of the Bible (I'm not saying all current events are in the Bible) d) our understanding of the Bible increases as we study It, but we cannot understand It if we do not ask the Holy Spirit to reveal God's truths; nothing is hidden, but sin blinds us to the truth (Voice of Prophesy Devotional Study, 26 lessons, the above is a synopsis of # 2 or # 3) In addition to the points above, please also think about this: if God didn't write (or inspire) the Bible, then the 'logical' conclusion is that God isn't big enough, strong enough, or just plain 'enough' to make sure His words and truths are imparted to all of us. If one believes that man interpreted, it follows that one doesn't believe God isn't when in fact He says "I AM." In Christ... |

yup, see my previous answer | ||||||
25 | Why were Adam and Eve unable to resist? | Gen 3:6 | roviear | 30068 | ||
Because God gave humans the ability to choose and, man, in his infinite stupidity, chose sin. Who knew it would turn out as bad as it did, and continue to get worse? Certainly not Adam and Eve! And if not Adam and Eve, then someone else would've been taken in by the wiles of the Devil. Think about it, the Devil knows how to get to each and every one of us. You think he chose the 3 temptations to Christ on a whim? I think he knew exactly which ones could cause Jesus to sway for 40 days (see Luke 4), but Jesus didn't. In addition, why did the Devil fall? Because he kept trying to take over God's position. This means that the Devil is 1) a very persuasive fellow and 2) knows how to market his wares. I mean, c'mon, who but the ultimate sinner would even think of competing with God? | ||||||
26 | Read the full length note. | Acts 23:8 | roviear | 30063 | ||
The difference is mentioned in Acts 23:8. Does anyone else have a more in-depth answer? See also Matt 22:23, Mark 12:18 and Luke 20:27. | ||||||
27 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | roviear | 30059 | ||
Perhaps because we, as humans, really cannot grasp the concept of eternity and feel that we must continue to earn salvation. In the OT, especially Exodus, God laid the law down to Moses as to how Jews (believers) could get into heaven. However, in the NT, the law was summarized into one commandment (see also Rom 13:9-10). Is eternal salvation really as simple as repenting and accepting the gift of Jesus Christ? Yes, and once you do, you cannot give the gift back. Now, you can fall off the path and end up still going to Hell. But that is another discussion. | ||||||
28 | I know God is all knowing | Is 55:8 | roviear | 19357 | ||
Bad things happen to bad people--not true. Bad things happen to everyone because of man's inherent sin. Being a Christian does not "save" you from terrible events, being a Christian means you have God to give you the strength to handle the bad events. Another point to think about: Jesus couldn't avoid the ultimate terrible event, His own death at the hand of man, because the Father had a purpose. But, without Jesus' death, we Gentiles could not become Abraham's children. Instead of focusing on the negative impact (I still cry at times, too), focus on the positive: so many people coming to Christ, a nation moving back to Christ, a nation changing its "me me me" attitude to one of "how can I help" and the list goes on. |
