21 | Who is my neighbor? | Luke 10:29 | 00123 | 242050 | ||
Is Jesus saying that the lawyer of v. 29 is the same as the man who fell among the robbers on the way to Jericho? | ||||||
22 | Who is my neighbor? | Luke 10:29 | 00123 | 242052 | ||
The lawyer's question: Who is a neighbor (A) to me (B)? Jesus responded: Who is a neighbor (C) to the man (D) who fell among the robbers? But you say A is D, which is weird. |

23 | Jesus' way to view a tragedy | Luke 13:5 | 00123 | 241070 | ||
This must be every Christian leader's reaction to any tragic event, natural or human, resulting in a lot of victims. Rather, we just focus on finding and blaming sources that might have caused the tragedy. If we talk like Jesus, I understand that we might be stoned in today's politically correct society. But I am impressed at our Lord's way to view the events and I wish I would be like him. | ||||||
24 | Paradise is Heaven? Would you clarify? | Luke 16:22 | 00123 | 225357 | ||
Therefore, can we say the Paradise where Jesus went together with the thief on the cross was not the Heaven? | ||||||
25 | God's fair standards to judge evildoers | John 5:28 | 00123 | 232568 | ||
Hi, Ed, Your argument looks like a 17th century New Yorker failed to enjoy McDonald's buy one burger get one free deal because he was totally happy with his wife's food. There are two kinds of people: those who had a chance to hear Jesus' good news and those who didn't. Don't you think God will judge the latter by different standards rather than their decision of rejecting Jesus as Messiah when they never had a chance to hear about Jesus? As for your argument "before Jesus people are judged on whether they saw their righteousness in themselves or looked to a Messiah," not all but some religions looked to a Messiah for atonement of their sins, I think. |

26 | God's fair standards to judge evildoers | John 5:28 | 00123 | 232640 | ||
Steve, I guess you must be American, Canadian, or of a nation whose history is short. Our LORD Jesus Christ was not known before 2,000 years. Many countries are older than that, and many people dies without a chance to hear the name or word of Jesus Christ. So, what other standards will be used to them? If you say Jesus is the standard to anyone, are you arguing that people who lived before Jesus came to earth was already condemned not to be saved at all? Seeking the truth, Dan |

27 | 2,000 years not enough to "know" God? | John 13:33 | 00123 | 232759 | ||
Ed, I appreciate and agree with your citation on Jn 1:18. But as for the death, I thought believers, even after Jesus' crucifixion, go to Abraham's bosom and wait for the judgment and coming of God's kingdom, but did God change the practice with Jesus' sacrifice? So, do believers now go to God upon death? -Dan |

28 | Paradise vs. Heaven | John 20:17 | 00123 | 224639 | ||
A follow-up question for you. Where do our souls go just when we die? Don't we say we go to the heaven? If your argument is corerct, however, do we stay somewhere on the earth where the Paradise is? | ||||||
29 | Isn't Paradise the Heaven? | John 20:17 | 00123 | 241476 | ||
An excellent answer to my question! Thanks. God bless! | ||||||
30 | Jesus went to God immediately? | John 20:17 | 00123 | 241485 | ||
Hi, Doc, to be honest with you, EdB's comment makes sense, but not yours. Paradise Jesus mentioned is not the same as the Catholic or Jewish Purgatory. Two additional questions following your response, then: (1) If Jesus ascended to God Father's hands in the Heaven upon death on the cross, was the place Paradise? (2) If Jesus went up to God Father, did He (probably, His soul) come down to join His body to be resurrected ? If so, why did He say "I have not yet ascended to the Father" (John 20:17)? Clarify please. | ||||||

Does 1 Peter 3:19 contradict your view? If not, why not? | ||||||
32 | Who was Christ in 1 Cor 1:12? | 1 Cor 1:12 | 00123 | 232579 | ||
Ed, Well said. Thank you very much. | ||||||
33 | Did Jesus and early church drink wine? | 1 Cor 11:25 | 00123 | 232993 | ||
Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples), he left Judea and departed again for Galilee. (John 4:1-3 ESV) Like above, the Pharisees and non-believers believed in and acted on rumors, not solid facts. Likewise, people's accusation on Jesus (Matt 11:19 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard') was wrong. I just wanted to know Bible-based facts, neither the Israeli customs of the first century nor anyone's speculations. |

34 | What liquid was in the communion cup? | 1 Cor 11:25 | 00123 | 233008 | ||
Don't lose yourself. This is a Bible forum where we are supposed to speak strictly from the Bible, not from guesswork or common sense. As I said before, I found no verse directly saying that Jesus drank wine or that the sacraments used wine in the early church. Did you? | ||||||
35 | What liquid was in the communion cup? | 1 Cor 11:25 | 00123 | 233011 | ||
"Beyond this Scripture does not speak, therefore I must not" is very good. I like and accept it. Then, how come can you believe Matthew 26:29 (cf Luke 22:18) means that Christ drank wine? The verses simply mention "drink of the fruit of the vine." Is it sure that to drink of the fruit of the vine is to drink wine? | ||||||
36 | What liquid was in the communion cup? | 1 Cor 11:25 | 00123 | 233013 | ||
On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined. (Isaiah 25:6 ESV) When we see the verse above, do we have to expect drinking wine (aged wine, which I guess truly alcoholic wine) with the Lord at the feast, for example, for the marriage of the Lamb? If so, as I don't drink at all, I guess I might be drunken very very badly by the aged wine, and I wonder if that is acceptable. |

Beja, Sorry, but I didn't respond to your post 232996. So, I don't know what made you say so. You wrote, "Wouldn't it be safe to say that your mind is quite resolved on this issue?" My answer is respectfully no because although I wanted to hear answers from the scripture brothers and sisters answered from church traditions, common sense, guesswork, or customs of the time. I personally don't drink, but I never pressed you or anyone else also should not drink. I just wanted to know what the Bible teaches. My original question was whether the early church used wine for the communion because to my surprise I didn't find a Bible verse supporting it. Regarding the communion, the Bible mentions "drink the cup of the Lord," but what was the substance in the cup was not explicitly indicated. If that was wine, was it fermented or unfermented? You may say the Bible is silent about it. Then, suddenly, Isaiah 25:6 says the Lord will make a feast of well-aged wine. So, I guess that verse (any similar) might be a big blow to discussion on wine or juice as we will drink alcoholic wine with the Lord. What do you think based on the Scripture? | ||||||

I agree. Let us try to talk about camels rather than gnats. | ||||||
39 | How do you share Jesus with others? | Eph 4:12 | 00123 | 241541 | ||
Yo said, "Rome was not won to Christ by preaching or evangelism. It was won by how Christians lived and died in the persecution." What was the major reason Christians in Rome were persecuted when they did not preach or evangelize actively but lived in peace? | ||||||
40 | If "heaven" is a metaphor | Phil 3:20 | 00123 | 240103 | ||
In summary, do we temporarily live in the heaven (God's dwelling place) until the resurrection, then move to the new earth? Do I understand well what you said? | ||||||
