22 | scripture stating not to co-sign | John 6:15 | BMyers | 225348 | ||
Thanks for the advice. Here are those scriptures in two other English translations: Proverbs 11:15 15 Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm, but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure.(ESV) 15He who is guarantor for a stranger will surely suffer for it,But he who hates being a guarantor is secure. (NASB) Proverbs 6:1-19 1My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger, 2if you are snared in the words of your mouth, caught in the words of your mouth, 3then do this, my son, and save yourself, for you have come into the hand of your neighbor: go, hasten, and plead urgently with your neighbor. 4 Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber; 5save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler. 6 Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. 7 Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, 8she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest. 9 How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, 11 and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man. 12 A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech, 13 winks with his eyes, signals with his feet, points with his finger, 14with perverted heart devises evil, continually sowing discord; 15therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing. 16There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, 19 a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.(ESV) My son, if you have become surety for your neighbor, Have given a pledge for a stranger, 2If you have been snared with the words of your mouth, Have been caught with the words of your mouth, 3Do this then, my son, and deliver yourself; Since you have come into the hand of your neighbor, Go, humble yourself, and importune your neighbor. 4Give no sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids; 5Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hunter's hand And like a bird from the hand of the fowler. 6Go to the ant, O sluggard, Observe her ways and be wise, 7Which, having no chief, Officer or ruler, 8Prepares her food in the summer And gathers her provision in the harvest. 9How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? 10"A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest"-- 11Your poverty will come in like a vagabond And your need like an armed man. 12A worthless person, a wicked man, Is the one who walks with a perverse mouth, 13Who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, Who points with his fingers; 14Who with perversity in his heart continually devises evil, Who spreads strife. 15Therefore his calamity will come suddenly; Instantly he will be broken and there will be no healing. 16There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: 17Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, 18A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil, 19A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers.(NASB) |

Proverbs 6:1-19 and Proverbs 11:15 is what I have been able to find relating to placing a pledge/security for someone else. Brad |

24 | When, what and who are included? | Rev 7:14 | BMyers | 224272 | ||
Hi justme, Please understand, that I'm not trying to persuade anyone that pre-trib is the right choice. I just tried to point out in the original question that it wasn't a simple answer because as you have and I have tried, but done poorly at to point out there are more than one view without any clear answer. I guess I shouldn’t have mentioned that I believed in pre-trib (reminds me of a comic I once say with a line of doors and they each had a different title over them, pre-pre-trib, pre-trib, mid-trib, mid-mid-trib, post-trib, post-post-trib, etc., but they all opened to the same place, heaven). Tribulation is present in a fallen world. Some suffer greater than others. I feel very fortunate that I have not had to suffer as some in other parts of the world. The clear answer as you have pointed out and I have tried, we have to be ready whenever and for whatever. I have come across to many Christians who quickly become discouraged because life doesn’t instantly turn into a story-book with them getting everything they want and having no problems. Jesus didn’t promise a life free of struggles and problems, but He did promise the peace to overcome them. Joh 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." Brad |

25 | When, what and who are included? | Rev 7:14 | BMyers | 224262 | ||
"Aside from believing in Jesus what is it that one needs to be doing to be ready" Well, we are called to take the Gospel to all the ends of the earth, to pray, to continue to grow in the knowledge of the Word to name a few. I can quote the scripture for them if you need me to. Yet as you pointed out the most important part is ones salvation. Scripture indicates that no one but the Father knows when Christ will return, so we must be ready at all times. Brad |

Mat 24:44 Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Brad |

27 | kings in old testament | 1 Kings | BMyers | 223658 | ||
Well, if you are asking about all the kings in the Old Testament, it is more than 43. First one that comes to mind is Melchizedek. Gen 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.) (ESV) Then you start counting the various Pharaohs. I had heard once, there are close to 90 kings mentioned by name in the Old Testament, yet I have never taken the time to count them and list them with the Biblical reference. According to Encyclopedia of Biblical facts, 19 Kings of Israel and 20 Kings of Judah which doesn't include Saul, David, or Solomon. Brad |

28 | how man judges were in the old testament | Judges | BMyers | 223657 | ||
There are 12 listed in the book of Judges. Yet, Moses also was a judge. Exo 18:13 The next day Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from morning till evening. (ESV) Also, the task of being a judge was given to others. Exo 18:25 Moses chose able men out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens. Exo 18:26 And they judged the people at all times. Any hard case they brought to Moses, but any small matter they decided themselves. (ESV) Brad |

29 | Crusifixtion a sacrafice? John 3:16 | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 223562 | ||
I will have to disagree with men that have been tortured in a much greater degree statement. Mark 15:34, shows a torture that none of us can understand. Even knowing death was a temporal matter for Christ, doesn't make the sacrifice any less significant to go through. The example that comes to mind is mother fiving birth to her child. The pain is tremendous, thankfully modern medicine has made this task easier on woman, yet none the less still struggle, even though they know it will only last for a short period of time. The length of time in the grave seems insignificant even though He knew that it was only for x days, months, or years (just like a mother giving birth will know it will only last x amount time). The sacrifice was the taking of His perfect state and making it imperfect by bearing the sins of those that couldn't. Yes, you were right I do get irritated and I forget at times, that Jesus doesn't need my help to defend Himself (Mat 26:53). Thank you for taking my comments in stride. Brad |

30 | What does lamp and oil symbolize? | Matthew | BMyers | 223242 | ||
I agree, there are symbols in the Bible and some are of importance. My hesitation comes from my own experience with dealing with the topic where individuals have gotten so caught up with trying to figure out the meaning of the symbol, the message gets lost. Brad |

31 | What does lamp and oil symbolize? | Matthew | BMyers | 223239 | ||
Not trying to create a debate, but "virgin oil" is just that, oil that has not been refined. According to the product grade description, "refined olive oil is the olive oil obtained from virgin olive oils by refining methods that do not lead to alterations in the initial glyceridic structure". With that being said, sometimes we look for deeper meaning and miss the actual meaning which is staring us in the face. Brad |

32 | Was found in rocks | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 223087 | ||
Paula, I'm assuming that you read the terms of service and you are over the age of 18 as per the TOS this question comes because our past VBS have been for kids from 6 to 13. As for as telling Doc to keep his comments to himself, he was trying to save you and us wasted time. The members of this forum do not mind helping those search out answers, yet when a poster doesn't take time to thoroughly post the question, it is a waste of everyone's time. Doc was kind enough to give you the name and verse for your previous question, where as I would only give you the book the answer was found in (does one good to search out the answer on his/her own). I think you should reconsider your answer to Doc and remember as Christians we are treat each other as Christ has treated us. Brad |

33 | who was Zechariah? | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 222940 | ||
Actually, the grandson of Iddo Zec 1:1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, saying, Based on his genealogy, most likely he would be priest. Brad |

There are different ministries out there geared to blind individuals. Below is two websites that help provide resources for ministering to the visually impaired. (There are other sites, just grabbed two that I could think of.) http://www.blindmission.org/ http://blind.ag.org/ Brad |

35 | Lazy man | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 222803 | ||
Well, the first thing that comes to mind is James 2:19 where even the demons believe in God. Jas 2:19 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe--and shudder! I will not pretend to know much about the Hindu religion. I know it is very complex and centers around (if I remember correctly) Brahman. Is there a difference between Hindu and Christianity? Yes! Here is a link http://www.gotquestions.org/Hindu-Christian.html to discussing some differences between the two. Maybe someone on this forum with more knowledge on the Hindu religion can share more information. Ultimately, until you make Jesus Lord of your life, peace can be an impossible thing to find. Brad |

36 | what are the things above | Colossians | BMyers | 222792 | ||
Sorry, I hadn't replied sooner. Just got off vacation and been getting slammed at work. Anyway, 'things above' can be understood as heavenly things. SO that leads to the next question, what is heavenly things? The best answer I can think of is Philippians 4:8. Hope this helps. Brad |

37 | Can a Christian go to Night Clubs | 2 Cor 6:14 | BMyers | 222699 | ||
Hi Ariel, can you give scripture for your statement? In the incidents that come to mind, eating with the religious outcast and when Jesus was perfumed, didn't involve the location, but the issue that was brought up was the people that Jesus was with. Although, maybe I'm not remembering a passage, hence the request for the scripture. Brad |

39 | According to the bible who can baptize | NT general | BMyers | 222684 | ||
Well my wireless keyboard batteries went dead and in the process, my last post is missing half of what I was trying to copy and paste (have to use Word to check more poor spelling). Anyone since that information is no gone, I will make my answer shorter. Christians can baptized other Christians based on being a disciple of Christ. Generally, this task falls to the minister of the church based on tradition. Yet, not all denominations recognize baptism done by a layperson nor do all denominations recognize each other’s baptism. Sometimes we get caught up more with the tradition and how it is done than the meaning of why it is done. Brad |

40 | does this mean a person is unforgiven | NT general | BMyers | 222649 | ||
Doc was giving you a 'pat on the back'. Actually, communicating with Doc and reading his post has challenged me to get a better understanding of some of the terms that are important to the Christian faith. You have my respect with your ability to be able to converse in more than one language. Yet, I would challenge you to look at the conversations with Doc not as struggle, but another opportunity to increase your knowledge of Bible and the English language. Based on my past experience with Doc, if there is something I haven't comprehended, he has always been willing to explain and help me understand. Brad |
