21 | how, and why did the apostle Paul die? | 2 Timothy | David24597 | 159740 | ||
Hi Rosepetals, I don't think there is any record in the Bible as to how or why. But I think II Tim. is one of the last letters he wrote (if not the last one) in the New Testament because of what he says in 4:6-8 and this letter was written while Paul was in Rome. He had also requested that Timothy come to visit him before the winter of that year (verse 21) so I would assume he died in Rome not long after writing this letter. |

22 | Scriptural Support? | Rev 12:9 | David24597 | 159738 | ||
The word "Archangel" is a title that means "Head" or "Chief" of the angels. Having the title of "Archangel" is not an indication that Michael is Himself an angel or any other type of created being. The only clue as to what type of being the Archangel really is would then be in His name. The name "Michael" means "He who is like God" or "Who is equal to God". This name can only be applied to Jesus. | ||||||

24 | WHY DOES THE BIBLE SAY THAT THE DEVIL IS | John 8:44 | David24597 | 159736 | ||
To kinda sum up what others here are saying: The Devil, or Satan, is an angel that rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven. He was once a covering cherub named Lucifer but let pride in his great strength, wisdom and beauty lead him to think he could overthrow God. (Ezek. 28:11-19 and Isa. 14:12-20) The book of Revelation uses symbols to denote his new personality as a serpent and dragon (Rev. 12:9). He is even called a roaring lion in I Peter 5:8. |

25 | How do you explain the mystery? | Phil 2:8 | David24597 | 159735 | ||
I think of it like this: God considers a man and his wife to be one being in and of itself - Gen. 2:24. The same would apply to a "family unit" so to speak. A family can consists of a man, his wife and any number of children or even other relitaves living with them. This "family unit" is one single family (i.e., in the eyes of God, one single being). So the "Godhead" is one God consisting of 3 seperate entities. Anyway that's how I attempt to explain the Trinity. Hope it helps. |

26 | Is speaking in tongues ok in church, eve | 1 Corinthians | David24597 | 159733 | ||
"Speaking in tongues" and "speaking in an unknown tongue" are 2 different things. Read Acts. 2:7-12 for an example of "speaking in tongues". The Holy Spirit would interpret what the apostles said in a language the listener would be able to understand. However to "speak in an unknown tongue" is forbidden in puplic places of worship in the Bible unless there is an interpreter present to interpret what is being said - I Cor. 14:27-29. | ||||||
27 | Are babies going in the rapute? | Matt 24:22 | David24597 | 159674 | ||
I don't see the connection between your question and the reference verse (Matt.24:22). However it is only for God to decide who is to be saved. On the one hand the sins of the wicked are also visited upon their children up to the 3rd and 4th generation (Ex. 20:5, 34:7, Num. 14:18, Deut. 5:9 and Jer. 32:18). Yet (on the other hand) the saved son is not quilty for the sins of his father (Eze. 18:17). This would of course assume that child is old enough to make his own decisions. Only God can determine that. |

28 | but where were they? | Rev 12:9 | David24597 | 159673 | ||
I would agree with "BibleAnswer" although I prefer the KJV for Eze.28:11-19 "Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone [was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee [so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never [shalt] thou [be] any more." And would also include Isa. 14:12-20 "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, [and] consider thee, [saying, Is] this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; [That] made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; [that] opened not the house of his prisoners? All the kings of the nations, [even] all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, [and as] the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, [and] slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned." |

29 | are we to observe all feast days? | Zech 14:16 | David24597 | 159670 | ||
Many of the Old Testament ordinances were done away with when Jesus was crucified - Col. 2:14. Those mentioned in Eze. chapters 40 though 48 are part of what we call the old Mosaic or Levitical laws (see Eze. 43:18 and 44:5). Heb. chapter 9 is a good reference to this. The saved christian is not obligated to keep these Levitical laws and would in fact be denying the saving blood of Jesus if he/she were to sacrifice lambs or goats for forgiveness of sins. The Passover, Yum Kippor and many of the Old Testament feast days required such sacrifices. Also Jer. 31:36 could be a reference to the end of the Jewish Dispensation once the old ordinances have been done away with at the cross of Jesus |

31 | 1,000 year reign | 1 Thessalonians | David24597 | 159663 | ||
Hi Searcher, There are only 2 resurrections in the last days. Jesus' own words in John 5:28-29, the resurrection of life (i.e. the 1st resurrection of Rev. 20) and the resurrection of damnation (the 2nd one after the 1,000 years). To say there are more than these 2 resurrections is a direct contradiction of Rev. chapter 20. If there were others then John has lied calling the resurrection at the beginning of the 1,000 years is the 1st (if there are/were others before the 1st). All the righteous dead are raised at the same time, Jesus' second coming, and this marks the beginning of the 1,000 years of Rev. 20. These are the only ones "immune" from the second death - Rev. 20:6 |

32 | 1,000 year reign | 1 Thessalonians | David24597 | 159614 | ||
Hi Beana, I would suggest you examine I Thess. 4:13-18 while studying Rev. 20. To answer your main question Rev. 20:6 "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years." Which would seem to indicate that those alive at Jesus' coming, together with the resurrected saints, will reign with Christ for the 1,000 years. Since this is the "first" resurrection then there would be none before it. The second resurrection would take place after the 1,000 years. Read I Thess. 4:13-18 again and tell me - is this the 1st or 2nd reserrection spoken of here? Obviously this takes place at the 2nd coming of Jesus and marks the beginning of the 1,000 years. Notice that the saints "meet the Lord in the air". Where (anywhere in the Bible) does it indicate the 1,000 year reign actually takes place on the earth? If the saints are taken off the earth as indicated in I Thess. 4 and this is the "first" resurrection of Rev. 20 then the 1,000 year reign must take place somewhere else, I would assume in heaven. After the 1,000 years is over Jesus comes back bringing with Him all the saints (Jude 1:14-15) and the evil dead are raised to face judgement and destruction (the 2nd resurrection). |

34 | Does sin prove one is not a believer? | 1 Cor 6:9 | David24597 | 157991 | ||
again I wish there was an edit button to add this to the end of my last post: John 17:22, Rom. 8:18, 1 Cor. 15:41-43, 11 Cor. 4:17, Eph. 1:18, Col. 3:4, 1 Thess. 2:14, Heb. 2:10, 1 Peter 5:1-4 I added these cause I'm sure some will think I am trying to claim God's is not the only glory should be recieved. But our glory is that we give it to God. Rom. 15:17, 1 Cor. 1:29-31, 11 Cor. 10:17, Gal. 6:14, Rev, 21:24-26 |

35 | Does sin prove one is not a believer? | 1 Cor 6:9 | David24597 | 157990 | ||
Hi Mark. You said “I am saved if I hold on to my faith til the end, if I keep myself from returning to sin. If I do not do these things, I may lose my salvation. The work of salvation is begun by God, but continued by me. The work of maintaining my salvation is mine, and so the glory upon reaching heaven is mine.” Is this what the Bible teaches? I don't think so. You are so close to what I am saying but still a bit short of the mark. Consider Isa. 1:18 and Phil. 2:12. We can of our ownselves do nothing. But, with the help of the Holy Spirt, yes the work of maintaining our salvation is our own, with God's help. The "glory upon reaching heaven" is a SHARED glory. |

Wild Olive I am not denying that the saved have eternal life. Most of these texts also support that. What I am saying is the saved must contunue until the end to remain saved. Allow me to examine some of the texts you provided. Phil 1:6 is conditional "if" we remain sincere and without offence till the day of Christ. verse 10 So is that of 1 Peter 1:3-5 dependant upon our remaing faithful "to the end". verses 13 and 14 1 John 4:4 needs to be read with the entire chapter. Verse 12 adds the condition "if we love one another" and verse 17 shows a developement of that love over time. John 10:27-30 only applies to those that follow Jesus - verse 10. Obviuosly "follow" does not mean follow for a short time then turn away again later but to follow as long as they live. You should have added verses 20 and 21 to the text from John 3:16. It to is conditional upon our continual obedience. Funny you should add Titus 3:7 without including the very next verse there either. Consider 11 Chron. 1:13 and 1 Peter 1:13 Theres is abundant evidence in scriptures showing the saved must continue on in their fauth to remain saved. It would be a waste of time to take several hours searching through the Bible for passages most of you would discount anyway as you have those I have already supplied. I suggest each and every one of you to go back to the beginning, read the Bible through from Gen. to Rev. paying special close attention to every place this subject is mentioned. See for yourselves whether salvation is depentant on our remaining faithful throughout our lives. |

Hello Wild Olive First I requested you stick with only scripture. You added a quote from someone elses interpretations of the scriptures. Those verses you DID supply obviously would only apply to those that "have endured to the end" Matt. 10:22. There is nothing there in your references that shows it is not possible to again return to a sinful life and lose your salvation. Only if you have lost your free will you then have lost the power to choose. In which case you are not a creature of God (for He has created us with the power to choose) but have become a slave to another. |
