2143 | Jesus time in Hell | 1 Pet 3:18 | azurelaw | 221531 | ||
Dear Brad, Thank you for your fine answer. May I echo you with my 2 cents of the below scripture which obviously do not support Jesus went to hell after He died:- Luke 23:43 And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." Luke 23:46 And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, "Father, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT." Having said this, He breathed His last. Shalom Azure |

2145 | How Far Are We To Suffer For Christ? | 1 Pet 4:16 | azurelaw | 206834 | ||
Dear bowler, I believe Val will speak for herself in replying to you. However, I would like to agree with Val's observation as to your post 206778 which I, too, find it conveyed the idea as Val has asked. It is good that you have explained it now. May I also point out some of the puzzles that I have in regards to your post? 1/ You say: ... these are people I know personally and as far as they are concerned their lives would be ruined by "turning around and sinning no more" as they put it... But in your post 206778, you say : I have been coming across other Christians who are facing circumstances where they would have to choose between having a nice life living the way they are and truning around and obeying Christ instead... It appears that you are talking about the same group of people. So, if they refuse to turn away from sin for fear of ruining their lives, are they really Christians? Turning away from sin is not "suffer for Christ" but a demonstration of our faith in and obedience to the Lord. (Matt 16:24, Rom 6) 2/ What kind of life is ruined? How would you interpret "ruined life" in a biblical sense for Christians? John 10:9-10, 15:1-6 Matt 7:13-14 2 Cor 2:6-10 I urge you to pray for your friends instead of querying about their sinful lives. (John 21:22) Shalom Azure |

Dear bowler, Your point is well taken and thank you for clarifying. There are number of factors affecting the clarity of our message that may cause misunderstanding from readers. Therefore, we are obliged to provide our explanation as best as we could and your effort on this is very much appreciated. You ask: I was querying about what it means to "suffer for Christ", how far should one go? At what cost? My answer: Matt 10:21-25. Yes, only God knows the hearts of men and we may not be sure who are truly converted Christians. Judging for the sake of self-righteousness is condemned by Jesus; yet, we are taught to discern the truth, the evil by the help of the Holy Spirit and the Word. Therefore, for the non-believe, we have to evangeilze, for those who believe, we are to edify each other (Eph 4:11-32). Shalom Azure |

2149 | how can one bear fruit? | 2 Peter | azurelaw | 220165 | ||
Dear Repay, In answering your question, I would suggest a cross referencing scripture:- 2 Peter 1:3-8 2 Pet 1:3 seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 2 Pet 1:4 For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust. 2 Pet 1:5 Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, 2 Pet 1:6 and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, 2 Pet 1:7 and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. 2 Pet 1:8 For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Shalom Azure |

2152 | Are there any scriptures for the rapture | 2 Pet 3:10 | azurelaw | 188364 | ||
Dear Cheri, I will try my effort to answer your question. There is an explanation which I found pretty convincing (at least to me) that the 24 elders represent : 12 Israel tribes in the OT and the 12 apostles in NT. In another sense, they represent the saints from both OT and NT. Concerning the 144,000, it is the multiples of 12 representing all God's people (i.e. believers in OT and NT). If we interpret that only 144,000 is the exact number for the saved, I am afraid that we are in deep trouble. I remember some users had listed a website conerning commentary of Rev. However, I cannot locate it for the moment. Maybe I leave the job for you :) Please do understand that the Rev is written with many symbolic terms in assocation with historical background of the OT and the current situation of the christian at the 1st century. Although the author did quote directly from OT, however the content is very familiar with what we have read in Danial, Isaiah, Ezek, Exodus. Sorry that I cannot give scriptural reference on what I have written. Hope this helps a bit on your understanding of the book of Rev. Shalom Azure |

2155 | Peter 1 or 2 does not understand Paul | 2 Pet 3:16 | azurelaw | 220922 | ||
Dear puppytoes, I believe you mean 2 Peter 3:15-16. Peter was not saying that he did not understand what Paul said, but he just admonished the believers to rightly and carefully interprete Paul's teaching since they were encountering false teachers amidst them. Shalom Azure |

2157 | Who was John referring to? | 1 John | azurelaw | 221957 | ||
Dear Barry, Welcome to the forum. May the Lord bless you and your fellowship while you are diligently studying the precious Word of God. I believe the below is helpful for you to understand better the background and the aim of John's epistle/letter to the church. **** Introduction to 1st John "The joy of fellowship with God within the church to which John wrote was threatened by false teaching. Those responsible for it claimed to have a superior knowledge of Jesus Christ and an enlightened morality. They believed that human flesh, as part of the physical, created world, was evil. Only spirit was good. Therefore they held that the Son of God could not have become a full human being, for that would have meant he was joining himself to evil. So they taught that Jesus Christ only appeared to be a human being; he took the form of a man but was really a phantom. Such teaching has been called Docetism (from the Greek dokein meaning “to seem to be” or “to appear to be”). The same false teachers also taught that salvation was an escape from this evil, material world. This meant that they were not concerned with purity and wholeness of life for the human body since that body was evil. So immorality was permissible. Living a holy life in the present body had nothing to do with salvation. It was to meet this false teaching that John insisted on the reality of the humanity of Jesus Christ. Of this fact the apostles were eye-witnesses for they had lived with him and knew him to be fully human. The Son of God wholly entered into our human condition, living as a man amongst men. He lived a perfect human life and died a human death. Through the Son of God who became man Christians have fellowship with God." - Peter and Vita Toon ***** One more commentary (a lengthy one but very detail, too) can be found at : http://evanglibrary.org.uk/members/com/nt/1jnlaw/lc2.html Shalom Azure |

2158 | Can we determine thr truth of the matter | 1 John 1:8 | azurelaw | 228774 | ||
Dear Armond, With the view that the host Lockman provides all participants with the TOU guidelines and your longtime participation on the forum, whether Doc or whoever on the forum holding the monitoring role - does that matter you? Please do not be offended as I don't see the point to know who is monitoring the forum (you are not the only person asking the question) as long as we stick to the TOU and the Biblical truth. Proverbs 27:17 1 Thes 5:11 Shalom Azure |

2159 | Can a person push God too far?? | 1 John 1:9 | azurelaw | 229653 | ||
Dear Aslans Friend, Could you provide relevant scripture for your statement explanation on 'Fall from Grace': "When you fall from Grace, you don't care any more what the consequences of sin are; you are insensitive."? You say: "As long as you have breath within you God is willing to forgive you." Could you please elaborate what do you mean by that? Thank you. Shalom Azure |
