21 | Timothy's holy calling | 2 Tim 1:9 | 00123 | 241269 | ||
What is meant by the holy calling in this verse? Is that a calling that we should live a life of consecration or do a special mission given by the Lord? If the latter also makes sense, what was the holy mission for Timothy (and Paul)? Thank you. | ||||||
22 | 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. | ||||||
23 | How many hours did Israelis march? | Josh 6:15 | 00123 | 241053 | ||
How many hours did they march in total on the seventh day? I read somewhere that it took two hours to circle the city of Jericho one time. So, could we guess that Israelis marched 14 hours on that day? | ||||||
24 | Who is "you" in Isa 49:6? | Is 49:6 | 00123 | 240901 | ||
Who is "you" in this verse? Is he Jesus our Lord? | ||||||
25 | 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? | ||||||
26 | If "heaven" is a metaphor | Phil 3:20 | 00123 | 240101 | ||
Thanks, Doc. A followup question, if "heaven" is a metaphor as you said, where are our eternal dwelling PHYSICALLY, which are in "the city that has foundations" (Hebrews 11:9-10) and has "the tree of life" (Revelation 22:1-8)? | ||||||
27 | Our citizenship is in heaven? | Phil 3:20 | 00123 | 240099 | ||
"Our citizenship is in heaven." Two questions: (1) Does it mean we will live ultimately in heaven? (2) Is the heaven the same place where Paul was caught up? (2 Corinthians 12:2) |

28 | Who is that deceiving spirit? | 2 Chr 18:21 | 00123 | 237711 | ||
Hello everyone! One spirit of the host of heaven volunteers to be a "deceiving" spirit. Who is that spirit? An angel or a devil? If that is the former, does an angel lie? If the latter, does a devil serve God in the heaven with that capacity? In either way, does God lie or allow His servant to lie? Shalom! | ||||||
29 | Definition and examples of good deeds | Titus 2:14 | 00123 | 237486 | ||
Hello brothers and sisters, (1) Would you define "good deeds"? (2) Would you list a few examples of good deeds? |

30 | No marriage b/c we are bride of Jesus? | Mark 12:25 | 00123 | 233062 | ||
Ed, my question was not about sex, but I respectively disagree with you that sex was (mainly) for procreation. For example, Song of Songs shows that sex was a critical means to increase the depth of the relationship through mutual joy. Again, my question was not about sex. | ||||||
31 | No marriage b/c we are bride of Jesus? | Mark 12:25 | 00123 | 233060 | ||
Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. Mark 12:25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. Luke 20:35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage. Jesus says that after resurrection, nobody marries. Is that because we, male or female, are the bride of Jesus and all of us already have a husband, Jesus, so it doesn't make sense for us to marry anyone else (of course, including sex with any human)? Relationships with the Lord will replace those with a human spouse. We desire to be resurrected (or raptured), unite with Jesus, reign with Him, and spend eternity with Him, but it appears we are very much ignorant of the life in the Kingdom of God that comes with our resurrection. A major reason might be the Bible is silent about it, but we focus too much on the earthly life issues. Anyhow, it looks very sure that there will be wonders after wonders in the Kingdom of God because the life there is very much different from that now and that we will be so excited and busy to learn about and enjoy every of them. |

32 | Where are cavemen in the bible | Genesis | 00123 | 233057 | ||
Tiger21, I don't have specific answers to your question. But for scientific discussions on God's creation recorded in Genesis I reference http://www.answersingenesis.org. For example, the site gives a Bible-based scientific answer on the Neanderthals and other cavemen at http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/arj/v3/n1/neanderthals Shalom! 00123 |

33 | Jesus views on the wealthy and the poor | Matt 25:26 | 00123 | 233048 | ||
His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ (Matthew 25:21 ESV) Based on this talent parable by Jesus, can we say the financially rich people are upright (honorable, admirable) and faithful, while the financially poor people are wicked, lazy, and idle? I know that could be too much generalization because in other places of the Bible the rich are condemned (James 1:10, 11, 2:5, 6, 5:1), but the Jesus parable is totally against our current social and political climate that the rich are considered wicked and lazy while the poor, industrious and honest. |

34 | No word like juice at Jesus time? | 1 Cor 11:25 | 00123 | 233040 | ||
That's quite interesting: wine in "new wine" actually refers to grape juice. Is that because Israelites of Jesus time didn't have the word juice? Did they call everything made of grapes (fermented or not) wine? If so, wine was either alcohol or juice, right? | ||||||
35 | Evengelists, get locals' support. | Luke 22:35 | 00123 | 233024 | ||
Matt 10:10 or a bag for your journey, or even two coats, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is worthy of his support. Mark 6:8-9 and He instructed them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a mere staff--no bread, no bag, no money in their belt--but to wear sandals; and He added, "Do not put on two tunics." Jesus' above instructions are not followed closely today because when going on mission trips we normally pay for our entire expenses. Furthermore, we bring gifts to locals and build houses, schools, hospitals, or churches for locals. There is criticism such a practice on evangelism increases locals' dependence on materials rather than the Gospel. In contrast, when Jesus' disciples followed the instructions, they lacked nothing and their missionary work was successful. My question is, Do you think Jesus' way of evangelism is still valid today? Any thoughts, observations, or experiences to share? |

36 | What liquid was in the communion cup? | 1 Cor 11:25 | 00123 | 233017 | ||
I agree. Let us try to talk about camels rather than gnats. | ||||||
37 | What liquid was in the communion cup? | 1 Cor 11:25 | 00123 | 233015 | ||
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? | ||||||
38 | 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. |

39 | 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? | ||||||
40 | 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? | ||||||
