is studying together with unbelievers without giving them the gospel being unequally yoked in ministry No. Studying is not ministry. Luke 3:23 When He began His ministry, Jesus Himself was about thirty years of age Ministry is a service. Studying is diligent learning 2 Tim 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. |

22 | Wisodom has the power to save? | Rom 10:17 | remorse2 | 204187 | ||
Isaiah 55:11 So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth;It will not return to Me empty,Without accomplishing what I desire,And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. The seeds of my faith were planted when an athiest read the account of the burning bush and mocked it. The seeds of my Pastor's faith were planted when as a boy he read Deuteronomy concerning Divorce. The answer to your question is yes. Wisdom literature may be sufficient to call someone to a saving knowledge of Christ. |

23 | Which One IsThe Correct Way of Baptism? | 1 Cor 12:13 | remorse2 | 203568 | ||
The answer I give is a question. What is the purpose of the Baptism? What is the best way to glorify Christ? Do you have a place to be baptised and fully imersed? If I just give you the answer you will only get milk when you need meat and potatoes. It was my first self study as a Christian. I looked up every instance of Baptisim in scripture talked with the pastor who was going to baptise me and made a decision. Because I was in a military chapel I had my choice of the type of Baptism I would receive. | ||||||
24 | alcohol scripturally wrong? | Eph 5:18 | remorse2 | 203647 | ||
Clearly you should not get drunk. Romans 14:12-15 says any food or drink can be a stumbling block. If it causes your brother to stumble then don't do it. We need to help our brothers and sisters grow in the knowledge and Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is no sacrifice to avoid drinking alcohol if it helps a brother grow. Please read the chapters in their entirity. |

25 | Do you know a way to get into the Bible? | Heb 8:10 | remorse2 | 206063 | ||
Yes I do. I want to congratulate you on your desire to learn the Word. To start with I would recommend getting into a group Bible study that is designed to be an overview of the Old Testament only if it involves reading the bible as part of the homework. The leadership of a good teacher and group discussion will aid in your study. If you want to start on your own I would say read the Gospel of John followed by the Gospel of Luke then read Acts. Then it is time to move to the Old Testament. Read Genesis and Exodus. Now is the hard part. Read Leviticus and Numbers. Yeah!!! Pat yourself on the back you have read a large chunk of the Bible. Now that you have all of those laws in your head read Matthew and Mark and then read Romans. Romans was a little hard to digest so give yourself a break and read Joshua and Ruth now go back and read First and Second Corinthians. Now we have a pattern to finish the book. Read one New Testament followed by two Old Testament books. If the New Testament book has a First, Second and Third read all three. If you want to take it at a more leisurely pace I would recommend Our Daily Bread http://www.rbc.org/index.aspx. It has served me well over the years and continues to do so. In it is a daily devotional and a bible reading plan. Or you can jump in the deep end and start teaching a Sunday school class to the fifth graders in your church. Most Church curriculums are designed to walk the novice through how to study prepare and teach a lesson. This was the avenue I learned the most from. I have used all three of these methods and each teaches you something new. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20 NASB We are to be Disciples. Your desire to read the Word of God is good step in the right direction. A Fellow Disciple Albert |

26 | How do we get saved, by baptism? | 1 Pet 3:21 | remorse2 | 203713 | ||
Baptizim of the believer is because he/she would like to make an outward show of an inward comitment. The thief on the cross was not baptized yet he went to paradise. That is sufficient proof for baptisim not being necessary for salvation. We baptize out of obedience. The same reason we take comunion. It is for obedience. A new believer has turned from the old sinful life and has started a new life. They show the world this decision when they are Baptized. I believe that you get saved by repenting and believing. After all that is what Jesus said to do. Yet there was no work I did that earned me a spot in heaven. To the unbeliever I say repent and believe. To the believer I say you did nothing to earn salvation. God chose you out of His Grace. |

27 | How do we get saved, by baptism? | 1 Pet 3:21 | remorse2 | 203728 | ||
The book of Galatians tells us to stop trying to be justified by law. Romans 11:1-6 Tells us it is grace that brought us into a saving knowledge of Christ 1Peter 1:2-3 Shows us it was through his mercy and grace that we have a reward in Heaven Romans 8:37-38 is the assurance that even though you are lead to be slaughtered God will not forsake you. To say that these scriptures support opposing arguments is tough. I would say these scriptures support different aspects of the Soverign Grace of our Lord. To sum up. Quit trying to be justified by law Grace is what saved you. Heaven is your reward. Nothing will seperate Gods hand upon you. |

30 | How Far Are We To Suffer For Christ? | 1 Pet 4:16 | remorse2 | 206762 | ||
We must suffur unto death. The example of Christ on the cross and Shadraq Meshak and Abednigo and the firey furnace are awesome examples. I must point out the legal authorities were persecuting them. Understand the difference is the persecution because of Christianity is different than someone trying to beat you up because they are mean. Here in the U.S. the law does not allow someone to strike you for the fun of it. That means a Christian can call the cops and have them arrested and brought to trial. Of course you will need to forgive them but obeying the law of the land is our obligation as well. So you may need to testify in court. Remember God forgave Moses but God still punished Moses for his fits of rage. Now will your whole life be ruined. Probably. It especially looks like it from your perspective. The disciples thought their life was ruined when Christ died on the cross. Well don't quit. After three days of waiting things looked better. I don't know how long you will need to wait. The new life you will lead will be NEW. Look at it as an adventure. Many modern day Christians in Iran, China and Sudan escape from persecution to safer countries. If you are in the states there are some houses of refuge in the big cities. Look at my profile and email me directly if you need any furthur clarification. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May his countenace fall upon you and give you peace. Albert. |

Hello Val, The fit of rage was when he whacked the rock with his rod. Numbers 20:6-12 I should point out that denying the miracle to take place. That was actually what got Moses into trouble. This is supported by Ephesians 4:26 do not sin in your anger. You can get angry just don't sin. Moses also got angry at the Egyptian that was beating the Hebrew so He kills him. Exodus 2:12 I hope that helps Albert. |

32 | How Far Are We To Suffer For Christ? | 1 Pet 4:16 | remorse2 | 206804 | ||
Hello Bowler, Should we strike back?? Luke 6:27-36 says no. If you read Esther you will see that Esther 8:11 allows persons to defend themselves. What then was Jesus talking about in Luke and Matthew at the sermon on the mount? My answer is ATTITUDE!! We are to love those that persecute us. Just as a loving mother will punish her misbehaving child so should we seek justice against those who violate us. Don’t devise ways to get even. Seeking justice is not getting even. Suing someone for a bunch of money is getting even. Recovering your hospital bills is justice. Helping the police develop a case against them is justice. Hiring the thugs in town to hit them back is vengeance. Remember Jesus cares about who you love. If you love them you may have to behave just as Jesus did with the money changers in the Temple. He loved them and He stopped them in a violent manneer. Just do not sin in your anger. Ephesians 4:26 A lot of countries are not like the US. Justice is not for the Christian. We need to get to the heart of the matter. Why is there persecution? In Acts it’s purpose was to get the Christians moving (ACTS 11:19). In Revelation it’s purpose was give believers a chance to receive a crown of life and serve as a testimony for Christ(Revelation 2:10). It was also used to quicken or strengthen the church. I propose it still serves these same purposes. If you scatter, Good for you. Go and tell the new people you meet about Jesus. If you stay and die, You will be blessed with the crown of life. Stay or go blessings are in store. We the church need to be strengthened by these martyrs. We need to find ways to help them. We need to be prepared defend the faith that the martyrs have died for. Now with regard to those who will not give up their life style in order to follow Christ. Jesus said it best. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God Luke 16:25. Everything on this earth is drose. It will be burned up in the end. Tell those you know to give up the lifestyle obey Jesus and Live!!! Or keep the lifestyle and DIE. If you know someone that loves their lifestyle more than Jesus their lifestyle is an idol. They may just as well put their lifestyle in a shrine and worship it. I hope for their sake they repent and sacrifice their lifestyle for Christ. Oh, I updated my profile with my e-mail address. Grace and Peace, Albert |
