21 | explain Mark 15:34 | Mark | pixie | 21123 | ||
Hi Steve, I never really thought about this subject. I know that Jesus took on the sins of the world but as to how long he held them, was never a question. You bring up some food for thought. I don't know whether He shed the sins that were placed on him or perhaps His blood covered and purified them. But I know He had to be sinless and holy before entering into God's presence. So when did His holy nature return? As I said before, this is not something that I had ever thought of and my earlier response was an immediate thought. I guess I'll have to study up on this subject..thanks..pixie | ||||||
22 | What was Jesus writing? | John | pixie | 20994 | ||
Apparently since these people were acting upon the law, reminding them of it wouldn't have done much good and it would have only shown Jesus' knowledge of the scriptures. On the other hand if Jesus had been writing all the sins that each of these people had hidden in their hearts, perhaps the ones they felt most guilty about, this may have shown them the true deity of Christ and his ability to treat them with kindness even though He could see clearly the things they had hidden. So how could they stone this woman when they had been reminded of their own sins...just a thought. | ||||||
23 | The name Jesus | John 1:1 | pixie | 75963 | ||
Nolan, I feel the need to disagree with you. This should not be considered a "Bible Study Forum" for CHRISTIANS but simply a "Bible Study Forum" period. Your statement excludes all other religions as well as atheists and agnostics from a legitimate interest in what The bible has to say. Obviously all of the above groups have questions concerning God,Jesus,Bible, Trinity, Eternal life and Christianity in general. Where do you suppose they will go to find the answers but to christians. Please don't make them feel as if we aren't willing to help them to know the truth. I feel it's perfectly fine for them to ask without needing to state their beliefs. If they promote other religions we will be able to discern that and deal with it as The Spirit leads us but always in love.....God bless you....Pixie |

24 | prayers OF those who've passed on | John 14:6 | pixie | 75497 | ||
Someone once told me that our loved ones who have passed on can pray for those of us that they've left behind. Is this part of heavenly worship? Do they remember us and their life here? |

25 | prayers OF those who've passed on | John 14:6 | pixie | 75707 | ||
Although I appreciate the attempt to answer I think you missed the question or I didn't ask it correctly. I didn't ask about how to get to heaven. I already know that Jesus is the only way. I didn't ask about judgement. I asked if those who have passed on and are in the prescence of The Lord are able to pray for their loved ones that are left here on earth. For example: If a remaining loved one wasn't saved or had cancer or something else that we would normally pray for here, are the passed on loved ones still able to pray for them. Do they remember their loved ones that are left here. |

Emmaus, thank you for the references. In the Rev.6 reference. They are simply asking for justice for themselves, unless I misunderstood. And the Rev.5 and Rev. 8 reference doesn't state whether the angel held the prayers of the saints in heaven or of those on earth. Forgive me if I missed something. I didn't read the whole context. Thanks again...... Pixie | ||||||

Hi jlpangilinan, In the references you gave, couldn't the "dead" be referring to those who have died as unbelievers? As was pointed out by Emmaus in an earlier post, Rev. 6:9,10 the souls of those that were slain were in heaven asking for God to avenge their blood. Obviously they remembered what had happened. Please forgive me if this sounds argumentative. I'm sincerely trying to weigh the verses to come to the correct answer......thanks......Pixie | ||||||
28 | Are the unevangelized people really lost | Rom 2:15 | pixie | 83921 | ||
I've been looking for a chapter that I read in the bible about 7 yrs ago which says something to the effect that those who have never heard of God or the gospel will be judged by their actions according to their conscience. In other words if they do something and their conscience tells them it's wrong to do it then God judges them because of what their conscience told them. If somebody does anything believing it is wrong then to him it is a sin. If anybody knows where in the bible I can find this please respond.....thanks....Pixie |

29 | Are the unevangelized people really lost | Rom 2:15 | pixie | 84296 | ||
Thank you Moran, Ric and John Reformed, Although the Romans scripture sounds similar, the one I'm looking for was very clear in saying God judges by the persons conscience. It was so clear when I read it yet all I remember for sure is that it was in the last 1/3 of the new testament. It's interesting how God turns on the light sometimes and then turns it off again. As for God having mercy on whom He will, I understand that it refers to Him making some for good and some for bad. I can't believe that everyone (African tribes or Nomads of the Himalyas,etc) who has not heard the gospel was made for bad thereby being unable to receive His mercy. I'll keep looking for the verses I'm looking for and I'll let you all know. Thanks again.....Pixie |

30 | Is Paul including here the Ten Commandme | Rom 7:1 | pixie | 21771 | ||
What exactly are you asking? I have read this over and over and am not understanding. The Law is for all who recognize it as God's statement of what He considers sin. We are no longer bound by this law but if one knows it's wrong and still does it, he will be held accountable. I hope this is somewhat close to what you were asking.....pixie | ||||||
31 | Is Paul including here the Ten Commandme | Rom 7:1 | pixie | 21874 | ||
Thanks Ray. I figured that was the problem but I couldn't find the original question. Actually I'm new so I didn't know that the name of the questioner would take me to it. Thanks again..pixie | ||||||
32 | Would you please give scripture evidence | 1 Cor 13:12 | pixie | 77803 | ||
I have often wondered why those that were closest to our Lord didn't recognize Him. One reason could be that in those days men often wore their cloaks over their heads and it was not always easy to see the face unless looking directly into the man's face. It's possible that Jesus walked up along side the men on the road and watching His steps He never faced them. As for the others, perhaps He came up to them as they were crying. Often times people won't look up to see someone who's talking to them because they don't want anyone to see them crying. Maybe the tears blurred their vision. There are all kinds of reasons. I never thought about it as being a spiritual blindness but perhaps a little more study might make it clearer for me. ...God bless .....Pixie |

33 | Are the fruits only from God? | Gal 5:22 | pixie | 74299 | ||
Do these fruits accompany only the spirit? Can a person who is very self controlled show these fruits without the spirit? My husband walked this life ever since I've been with him (11yrs.) and I understand that as far back as age 5 he was this way. Yet he denied God as personal. I've been looking for the comfort to know that I will see him again(he died in Dec. 2002) I think that living a life like this can only come through the power of God. There are too many temptations in this world. He didn't want the things of this world. He drove a junky car, never wore any jewelry or even name brand clothes. He was humble and genuine. I find that impossible without God's special touch. This gives me the hope that The Holy Spirit was holding on to him throughout his life, which gives me hope that He didn't let go of my husband at the end. I'm only one person with perhaps dogmatic ideas. Your thoughts on the fruits of the spirit might be quite comforting.....thanks.....pixie |

34 | Are the fruits only from God? | Gal 5:22 | pixie | 74309 | ||
Thank you Searcher, I've just found a verse that helps me. It is Matthew 7:18. It says a bad tree can not bring forth good fruit. I also think I saw somewhere in the bible that without the spirit you can't live like this but I'm not sure where it is so I'm still looking. Thanks again for your caring answer.......pixie |

35 | Are the fruits only from God? | Gal 5:22 | pixie | 74610 | ||
Thank you all who have responded to my pain. I know that we should trust God, and I do. So no matter what the answer is I know The Lord is a just God. But it sure would be a lot easier to believe that my husband will be standing next to me when I look into the eyes of Jesus......thanks.....Pixie | ||||||
36 | denominations in christianity | Revelation | pixie | 46714 | ||
Hi all, I think the basic reason for the differences is that it is so difficult to believe that salvation is so simple. When Jesus died on the cross He said "It is finished" For this reason a lot of people are still looking to find what exactly they have to do to find salvation so they add books to the original bible or they have Separate books which they read instead of or along side of the bible. It really is pretty hard to grasp the fact that as far as salvation goes "It's that simple" Many, many times Christ said "Thy Faith hath made thee whole" Once it strikes a person that it really is that simple they will then sincerely trust that "it is finished" This trust will fill your heart with such an awesome feeling of love that you will dedicate your life to Jesus. The weight of the world comes off your shoulders. It's an amazing experience. Just to be loved so much is a tremendous feeling..... sincerely ......pixie |
