"If... My people, who are called by My name, humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." 2 Chr. 7:14 | ||||||
22 | Ten Commandments obsolete? | Rom 10:4 | gmsmith101 | 6642 | ||
Remember, too, that Christ said we are to keep His commandments. | ||||||
23 | Urgent and swift help needed!! | Matt 18:15 | gmsmith101 | 5935 | ||
Just a comment--I think this man's teaching is very dangerous, especially if he is indoctrinating young believers, teenagers and children. Act quickly. | ||||||
24 | Babies in heaven when they die? | Bible general Archive 1 | gmsmith101 | 5933 | ||
Dear Nolan, I believe that babies and small children go to heaven when they die. My reasons are the following: 1. Although all are born with a sinful nature, these children have not sinned. God is just. 2. When David's adulterous affair with Bathsheba resulted in pregnancy, the Lord struck the child ill. David fasted and prayed. When the child died, David washed his face, ate food and annointed himself. When asked why he would do such a thing, David answered, "While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, "Who knows, the Lord may be gracious to me, that the child may live. But now he has died; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me." 2 Sam. 12:15-23. David believed his child to be in heaven, where he would follow when he himself died. I am comforted by this passage. I base my hope to see my children in heaven on this principle. |

25 | Does God have free will? | Bible general Archive 1 | gmsmith101 | 5631 | ||
I think that insulting a brother and calling him names DOES NOT show the love of Christ. What's that all about? This is the rudest thing I've seen on this forum. Where exactly in Scripture does is say you can talk to someone that way, Radioman? | ||||||
26 | Jesus Himself said, I AM | John 8:58 | gmsmith101 | 5084 | ||
I agree that adding the word, "He" in the translations diminishes the power of Jesus' claim. I understand why the italicized words are added, but occassionally, they actually change the meaning of the passage so that it means something other than it should. (As I write this, of course, I can't remember where that happened, but it did.) I usually read the passage with the italicized words, then without, to grasp the meaning better. | ||||||
27 | What is important about "I am"? | John 8:58 | gmsmith101 | 5056 | ||
Yes. I AM was/is Israel's covenant name for God, Yahweh. God told Moses, "I AM that I AM," or Yahweh. Whenever the Jews wrote the name or (didn't) say the name, the name they used was "I AM that I AM." For Jesus to use this phrase to identify Himself was a clear statement of who He was/is. To a Jew, this was the worst blasphemy. | ||||||
28 | Pilate's wife is dreaming? | Matt 27:19 | gmsmith101 | 5054 | ||
I agree. Although this is definitely a mysterious and intriguing passage, I think it would require pure speculation to come up with an answer. We simply aren't provided with this information. | ||||||
29 | Why did He accept wine the second time? | John 19:30 | gmsmith101 | 5053 | ||
I agree that Jesus refused the first sour wine because it was mixed with gall to relieve pain (Matt. 27:34). But I think the reason He accepted the second time is that it WASN'T mixed with gall (John 19:28-29). He had said He was thirsty, and they simply gave vinegar or sour wine Him to drink. In John, it doesn't say it had gall. This fulfilled Ps. 69:21. | ||||||
30 | Is it a sin to committ suicide? | Bible general Archive 1 | gmsmith101 | 5016 | ||
Prayon, I often visit the site you mentioned. It's very good. | ||||||
31 | How much should we give? | Bible general Archive 1 | gmsmith101 | 4968 | ||
We are still required to give a tithe under the new covenant. The law of tithing was not introduced as a law of Moses. This law has been in effect since Genesis. Of course, we know that Cain and Abel gave an offering. More specifically, Abraham gave Melchizedek a tenth (Heb. 7:2). This happened way before the Law was written. Since the Law that we have been released from is the ceremonial law, we are still require to tithe. | ||||||
32 | Any other thoughts? | Bible general Archive 1 | gmsmith101 | 4791 | ||
I understand your view. But in light of the words of Jesus Himself, and the sequence He describes, I continue to believe the church will be here until after the tribulation. Jesus says in v. 22, "Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short." If the elect weren't still here, there would be no need to cut the days short. As far as v.31 goes, it follows 29 and 30 which describe events AFTER the tribulation (v. 29 begins with "But immediately..." and v. 30 begins with "And then..."). Jesus is saying the elect will be gathered AFTER the tribulation. | ||||||
33 | Will saints come through the tribulation | Bible general Archive 1 | gmsmith101 | 4776 | ||
Because of the sequence of events and they way they are described in Jesus' account in Matt. 24: 4-28, I believe that the church will be here on earth during the tribulation. | ||||||
34 | Demon-possessed believer? | Luke 4:33 | gmsmith101 | 4709 | ||
What does a house with many rooms have to do wth demon possession? I don't think that's what Jesus was referring to at all. | ||||||
35 | where is satan? | Matt 12:45 | gmsmith101 | 4707 | ||
Satan roams the earth (Job 1:7) and must present himself before the Lord, so it is possible that he may appear in Heaven at times. Apparently, though, the permanent home of Satan is hell (2 Pet. 2:4). | ||||||
36 | Why did God change His mind? | OT general | gmsmith101 | 4704 | ||
I don't think God changed His mind, since God doesn't change at all. Gen. 9:3 doesn't say all things are clean, it says "Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant." The human diet was expanded here to includ meat, though the consumption of carrion (Lev. 11:40) is forbidden. (for completely understandable reasons). |

37 | Need Bible passages for dying friend | Ps 23:4 | gmsmith101 | 4537 | ||
What you are doing is a ministry, my friend. God is going to bless you for comforting your dying friend. Philippians 4:8-9 is a wonderful passage to encourage your friend. God bless you. | ||||||
38 | Popular opinion? or Scripture? | 1 Tim 2:12 | gmsmith101 | 4478 | ||
The NASB has a note for Rom. 16:1 in which the alternate translation for "servant" was deanoness. The Greek is "diakonos" (Strongs 1249) which, in my Complete Word Study Dictionary, can be masculine or feminine for deacon, minister or servant. Rom. 16:1 is the only time this word is used for a woman. The word deacon in the Greek can refer to any servant. In fact, the word itself refers to "laboring in dust" or "running through dust." Interesting. I agree with everything in your post from Timothy, and that leadership roles are appointed by God to men. I was pointing out that this word was used for a woman. Thanks for answering. In Christ, Gladys |

40 | HOW COULD JESUS BE A DESCENDANT OF DAVID | Bible general Archive 1 | gmsmith101 | 4407 | ||
My understanding of the differences in the geneologies is the following: 1. The Gospel of Matthew records Jesus' "legal" geneology, i.e., the line of Joseph, His earthly and legal father. The reason for this is that Matthew's Gospel account is directed to the Jews, his purpose being to prove Jesus' Kingship. In order to do this, he would have to prove that Jesus was a legal descendent of David, therefore a legal heir to the throne. Mary is mentioned in Matthew's Gospel as the wife of Joseph. 2. Luke's Gospel is directed to Theophilus, most likely a Gentile, and is focused on Jesus as the Son of Man. Therefore, it is logical to record the geneology of His mother, even though the Gospel of Luke says that Joseph is the supposed son of Eli. Also, I have heard it said that it is possible that Eli had no sons, therefore no heir except his son-in-law, making Joseph his "son." |
