21 | can all churches worship together as one | 1 Cor 11:18 | shalor | 102620 | ||
Eph 4: 3 being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. Paul tells us to preserve (not create) the unity in a bond of peace. The Unity of the church is through the Spirit as we all have the same calling. We don't all have to be under the same ecumenical body here on earth to be all united to God in the Spirit through Christ. |

23 | What needs to be reconciled in heaven? | Col 1:20 | shalor | 102471 | ||
I believe I understood your question, I just did't make my answer clear. Something I am famous for. What was reconciled in heaven is the seperation between God and man caused by the fall. (Rom 8:20-22 NASB) For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. (2 Cor 5:18-20 NASB) Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were entreating through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. We are now reconciled with God. This does not mean everyone will be saved, just that the bridge has been established between God and man. |

24 | Rev 13:13 ,The Devils Bishop | Rev 21:8 | shalor | 102468 | ||
I would add a hearty amen to that, but first I would like to add. None of my Bibles have been defiled thaey are still 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; This assumes there is a student(s) that are available, willing and capable of hering the word. They have not defiled God's word they just aren't reading and hearing it. The Church that Christ founded was built upon a rock. (Mat 16:18 NASB) "And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades shall not overpower it. And upon this rock the Corner Stone has been laid: 1 Pet 2 6 For this is contained in Scripture: "BEHOLD I LAY IN ZION A CHOICE STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNER stone, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED." 7 This precious value, then, is for you who believe. But for those who disbelieve, "THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE VERY CORNER stone," 8 and, "A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE"; for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed. |

25 | What needs to be reconciled in heaven? | Col 1:20 | shalor | 102459 | ||
(Col 1:20-22 NASB) and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven. 21 And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, 22 yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach-- Col 1:20: (vv. 20-22) Notice that peace with God is made "through the blood of His cross." The substitutionary nature of this reconciliation (atonement) is seen in vv. 21, 22; from being "alienated and enemies in ... mind" because of works of wickedness, the Christian has moved in Christ to being "reconciled ... holy ... blameless ... above reproach in His sight." Christ, on the other hand, went from being the spotless Lamb of God to being sin on our behalf (cf. 2 Cor. 5:21). Any theology that denies the substitutionary atonement of Christ or neglects the saving power of His sacrifice and the necessity of His shed blood, no matter how impressive otherwise, is a false theology with no power to save. The cross of Christ is a constant reminder of proud mankind's inability to generate its own salvation. The substitutionary atonement is not one theory among many, but an eternal fact reflected in many scriptural metaphors. |

What a Church is : A body: Paul says the church is a body under the control of its Head. What a tragedy it would be if that body refused to respond to the direction of its Head! In realm of medicine, there are diseases which ravage the nerve pathways which enable the human brain to control the human body. It is tragic and heartbreaking to see a person bound to a wheelchair or hospital bed, unable to control his movements and body functions. A church which is unresponsive to its Head is every bit as tragic and heartbreaking to watch. A temple: The church is also a temple for the exclusive habitation and use of a Person who dwells within, and who has the right to do with that temple whatever He wills. An army: The church is an army under the command of a king. An army that will not obey its leader is useless as a fighting force. Therefore, says Paul to the church, obey your orders, follow your Head. Church Purpose Purpose No. 1: The church is to reflect God's holiness Purpose No. 2: The church is to reveal God's glory. Purpose No. 3: The church is to be a witness to Christ. Church Mission Christ’s universal church and every local assembly have a threefold mission: (a) evangelism, i. e., going into all the world to make disciples through proclamation of the gospel in word and deed; (b) edification(discipleship), i. e., bringing every believer into personal and corporate maturity; (c) worship, i. e., giving heartfelt praise to the God revealed in the Word. None of the three may be subordinated. Rather, each aspect of this mission enhances the other two. For example, churches should not subtly discourage evangelism by stressing Bible study, but rather recognize that equipping members for evangelism is an integral part of their edification. |

28 | Hebrews or to the sons of the promise? | Genesis | shalor | 102427 | ||
Well spoken brother, While I am a heir of the promise, I am still a gentile and an heir by adoption through the blood of Christ. (Eph 1:4-6 NASB) just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love 5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. |

29 | What Sin? | John | shalor | 102386 | ||
(2) Christ Is Risen and Sits at God’s Right Hand. The second argument of Romans 8:34 concerns the resurrection and session of the Savior at God’s right hand. He sits at God’s right hand as our powerful advocate and intercessor to plead our case when we sin or when accused of sin, and to intercede on our behalf by virtue of His finished work on the cross which reconciles us to God. Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night.” Romans 5:10-11 For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11 And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. Hebrews 7:25 Hence, also, He is able to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. John 17:11 And I am no more in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, the name which Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, even as We are. |

30 | What Sin? | John | shalor | 102385 | ||
(1) Christ Died as Our Redeemer and Substitute: By His death Christ removed the barrier that separates mankind from God. Man’s sin and God’s holiness, which form a barrier between the sinner and God, were dealt with at the cross so God is free to justify us, declare us righteous through faith in Jesus Christ. The same truth is declared in the following verses. Romans 3:23-24 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; 25 whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; 26 for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. 27 Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. 28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. Romans 5:1,8 1 Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, … 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. The book of Hebrews states Christ’s death is the only sacrifice which counts and is once and for all time. Hebrews 9:11-14 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; 12 and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Hebrews 9:26-28 Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27 And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, 28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him. Hebrews 10:12-14 but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet. 14 For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. |

31 | What Sin? | John | shalor | 102384 | ||
Romans 8:31-39 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? 33 Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; 34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Just as it is written, “For Thy sake we are being put to death all day long; We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. The declaration in Romans 8:34, “Christ Jesus is He who died,” is given in answer to the questions of verses 31-33, and in anticipation to the questions and declarations of verses 35-39. The goal of verse 34, however, is to show the absolute security of the believer. Two reasons are stated in relation to God the Son: |

32 | When did Abraham become a Hebrew? | Genesis | shalor | 102351 | ||
At what point did Abraham become a Hebrew? What scripture says God Called Abraham to be the Father of the Hebrews? Scripture calls Abraham a Hebrew before God called him. (Gen 14:13 NASB) Then a fugitive came and told Abram the Hebrew. Now he was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, and these were allies with Abram. (Gen 15:18 NASB) On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your descendants I have given this land, From the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates: |

33 | Hebrews or to the sons of the promise? | Genesis | shalor | 102350 | ||
Yes, Abraham WAS a "Gentile". The Gospel according to Matthew was written to the Hebrew Jews. That is why his gospel begins with the genealogy of Jesus WITH Abrabam. (Mat 1:1 NASB) The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Was it to Hebrews or was it to the sones of the Covenant? Abraham and David were the ones the promises were made to. |

34 | was abraham ever a gentile? | Genesis | shalor | 102348 | ||
Abraham was a Hebrew before God made a covenat with him! (Gen 14:13 NASB) Then a fugitive came and told Abram the Hebrew. Now he was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, and these were allies with Abram. (Gen 15:18 NASB) On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your descendants I have given this land, From the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates: From the Holman Bible Dictionary: HEBREW (Hee' broo) A descendant of Eber. See Eber. It differentiates early Israelites from foreigners. After David founded the monarchy the term Hebrew seems to disappear from the Hebrew language. The designation apparently begins with Abraham (Gen. 14:13), showing that he belonged to an ethnic group distinct from the Amorites. It distinguished Joseph from the Egyptians and slaves of other ethnic identity (Gen. 39:14,17; 41:12; 43:32). Abraham's land has become the land of the Hebrews (Gen. 40:15), and his God, the God of the Hebrews (Ex. 5:3). Given the ethnic identity, special laws protected Hebrew slaves (Ex. 21:2; Deut. 15:12; compare Lev. 25:40-41; Jer. 34:8-22). After the death of Saul (1 Sam. 29), the term "Hebrew" does not appear in the historical books, pointing possibly to a distinction between Hebrew as an ethnic term and Israel and/or Judah as a religious and political term for the people of the covenant and of God's nation. See Habiru. |

36 | EXPLAIM CHAPTER 3 VERSE 5 | John | shalor | 102342 | ||
God must make you clean. Ezek 36 explain how he does it. Water baptism is by man and is symbolic but commanded by Christ. (Ezek 36:25-27 NASB) "Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 26 "Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 "And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances. The water is the washing of regeneration described in Titus 3. (Titus 3:5-7 NASB) He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 that being justified by His grace we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. |

37 | What Sin? | John | shalor | 102341 | ||
“What sin causes a person to lose his salvation?” Sin, any sin falls short of the perfect holiness of God. Every person, regardless of his maturity or relationship with the Lord, is far from perfect by God’s standard. We all have something in our lives which falls short of God’s glory, i.e., some sin though it may be unknown. 1 John 1:8-10 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. Where, then, do we draw the line? Those who believe we can lose our salvation categorize sin as though God overlooks some sins while He judges others. It becomes a matter of degrees and the question arises, how bad must we become before we lose our salvation? Which sin does us in? People often categorize sin into various levels, but their categories are usually out of touch with God’s perspective. Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil, 19 A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers. |

38 | So Satan can take control of us?? | Bible general Archive 2 | shalor | 102264 | ||
One's own will is incapable of dealing with evil But through the power of Christ we can rebuke Satan and he will flee from us. (Eph 6:11 NASB) Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. (James 4:7 NASB) Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. (1 Pet 5:8 NASB) Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Christ has that power and we must use his power and then Satan can be dealt with. |

(Gal 5:22-23 NASB) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. There is only one Christian Fruit. It is described in Gal 5:22-23 as the fruit(singular) of the spirit. Those nine characteristics in your self are a gauge of the spirit working through you. Christ is the Vine you are a Branch and the Holy Spirit gives the energy to delvelop the fruit. |
