221 | what does this verse say?1thes4:16 | 1 Thess 4:16 | inmyheart | 61911 | ||
1Thes. 4:15-16 says; (15-16) Those asleep in Christ are not at a disadvantage a. By the word of the Lord emphasizes that this is an authoritative command, whether Paul received this by direct revelation or if it is an unrecorded saying of Jesus; it comes from Jesus, not Paul b. The Thessalonians were afraid that the dead in Christ would miss out, but Paul assures them that those gone on before them won't feel cheated at not being on earth when Jesus comes back to this earth, because the dead in Christ will gain first benefit c. The shout here is the same word used for a ship's master to his rowers, or a commander to his soldier; "Always there is the ring of authority and the note of urgency." (Morris) d. What does it mean that the dead in Christ are gathered with the trumpet of God? In the Old Testament, trumpets sounded the alarm for war, and threw the enemy into a panic (in the sense of the seven trumpets described in Revelation 8-9); or the sounding of trumpets called for an assembly of God's people (as here) e. How are the dead in Christ raised first? Do they have "temporary bodies" now, or are they disembodied spirits? Or do they get in on the resurrection right away? i. We don't really know for certain; these things were written not to satisfy our curiosity, but to comfort and get us ready. Courtsey of blueletterbible.com God bless |

222 | spirit in prison | 1 Peter | inmyheart | 61649 | ||
Lourdes, I went to blueletterbible.com to bring up this commentary on the verse that you seek. God bless (19-20a) Through godly suffering, Jesus has preached to the spirits in prison a. Apparently, this work was done in the period after Jesus' death, but before His first appearance as resurrected to the disciples; Jesus went to Hades - the abode of the dead - and preached to the spirits there b. Are these spirits demonic spirits or human spirits? Their disobedience was in the days of Noah; we have evidence that this was a time of gross sin for both demons and humans, when there was an ungodly co-mingling of humans and demons (Genesis 6:1-2) c. Why would Jesus preach to these imprisoned spirits? In all probability, this was preaching (the proclamation of God's message) but not evangelism (the proclamation of good news); Jesus probably preached judgment to these disobedient spirits i. In this, there is a completeness is Jesus' triumph over evil, even the evil occurring before the flood ii. The Bible says that even those under the earth must acknowledge Jesus' ultimate Lordship; here Jesus was announcing that fact: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth (Philippians 2:10) d. Some feel that this preaching was done by Jesus to the people of Noah's time, in Noah's time; when Peter refers to their imprisonment, he refers to their current state, not their state when Jesus preached to them - preaching through Noah (or Enoch) i. "This passage, once cleared of misunderstanding, should also function today as an encouragement to us to be bold in our witness (as Noah was), to be confident that, though we may be few, God will certainly save us (as he did Noah), and to remind us that just as certainly as the flood eventually came, so final judgment will certainly come to our world as well, and Christ will ultimately triumph over all evil in the universe." (Grudem) e. Other feel that this preaching offered a second chance to those demonic spirits who were imprisoned at the flood (but the Bible knows nothing of such second chances) i. "Before Christ came, they had not heard the Gospel of God's Reign. . . . But at Christ's preaching they repented like the men of Nineveh; for it is said that angels subjected themselves to Him [verse 22]" (Hart) |

God's love, purpose and His destination for you will never change. The Word says let every man be a liar, but let God be true. The devil will put doubt in your mind, and if he can convince you that there is no way back to God, well, he's done his job, BUT DON'T BELIEVE IT! Jesus is the author and finisher of your faith, and my friend, He's not finish with you. WELCOME HOME, enter into His rest. Come in agreement with His will for you, and partake of the plan He has prepared for you. There is no condemnation to those who are "IN" Christ Jesus, so don't beat yourself up, God Loves You!

inheavenseyes, Greetings, I'm saying by the way you act upon or, behave, towards what you know is wrong, and doing it, is sin. We have two nature's, so we will always fall short. However, what God did for us by sending His Son Jesus, by paying the price for our sins (shedding His blood), we are made righteous, by His Grace. We become responsible for our actions by being obedient to His will. Romans say's it like this; Rom 3:10 as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; Rom 3:11 THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; Rom 3:12 ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE." Rom 3:13 "THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN GRAVE, WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING," "THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS "; Rom 3:14 "WHOSE MOUTH IS FULL OF CURSING AND BITTERNESS "; Rom 3:15 "THEIR FEET ARE SWIFT TO SHED BLOOD, Rom 3:16 DESTRUCTION AND MISERY ARE IN THEIR PATHS, Rom 3:17 AND THE PATH OF PEACE THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN." Rom 3:18 "THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES." Rom 3:19 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God; Rom 3:20 because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin. Rom 3:21 But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, Rom 3:22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Rom 3:24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; Rom 3:25 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; Rom 3:26 for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. May our Father continue to make you a target of His blessings. I leave you with this scripture for your reading; Hebrews 4:14-16. Peace to you. |

228 | sin is the absence of right behavior? | 1 John 3:4 | inmyheart | 60369 | ||
inheavenseyes, Good topic! I pray that this answers your question. God bless Rom 13:1 Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Rom 13:2 Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. Rom 13:3 For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority ? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; Rom 13:4 for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. Rom 13:5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience' sake. |

229 | why did paul considered gifts such as, s | NT general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 60084 | ||
goldenc1, Answer for question 2); (16-17) A prayer for the Thessalonians a. Before Paul asks God to do something specific for the Thessalonians, he remembers all God has done for them: loved them, giving them everlasting consolation and good hope by grace i. In our intercession and petition, we do well to remember God's past faithfulness and present blessing; His faithfulness in the past is a promise of His faithfulness for the future b. Paul asks for God to do two things in the Thessalonians: that He would comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work; comfort and continued testimony and work for Jesus are two special needs for believers under pressure.

230 | why did paul considered gifts such as, s | NT general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 60083 | ||
goldenc1, Answer for question 1); (6-8) An exhortation to use (and how to use) the gifts God has granted to the individual members of the church a. The difference and distribution of gifts is all due to the grace that is given to us; spiritual gifts are not given on the basis of merit, but rather because of the sovereign choice of God i. This idea is related in the very Greek word for "spiritual gifts" - charismata, a gift of grace, a term apparently coined by Paul to emphasize that the giving of these spiritual gifts was all of grace ii. Spiritual gifts are given at the discretion of the Holy Spirit; as 1 Corinthians 12:11 says, But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. iii. This should be a insurmountable barrier to pride in the exercise spiritual gifts; however man, in the depravity of his heart, finds a way to be proud about spiritual gifts and insists on exalting men for how God has gifted them b. Prophecy must be practiced in proportion to our faith; God may give us something to say to an individual or church body that stretches our faith; if we can't prophecy in faith and trust that God has really spoken to us, we shouldn't do it at all i. We are reminded that prophecy, in the Biblical understanding, isn't necessarily "fore-telling" in a strictly predictive sense; it is more accurately "forth-telling" the heart and mind of God, which may or may not include a predictive aspect ii. This warns us against flippant, "stream of consciousness" prophecy that has no difficulty saying "Thus says the Lord" at the drop of a hat iii. In proportion to our faith actually has "the" before faith; Paul may be cautioning that prophecy must be according to the faith, in accord with the accepted body of doctrine among believers iv. Some take the proportion of faith to be the proportion of the faith of the audience of the prophecy; this has truth also v. Prophecy does not have to be practiced in an ostentatious, "heavy" manner, but it does need to be taken seriously by those who prophecy if it is ever to be taken seriously by those who hear c. Ministry has in view the broader picture of simply serving in practical ways; Paul sees this as important ministry from the Holy Spirit as well d. Teaching has in mind instruction, while exhortation encourages people to practice what they have been taught; both are necessary for a healthy Christian life i. Those who are taught but not exhorted become "fat sheep" who only take in and never live the Christian life; those who are exhorted but not taught become excited and active, but have no depth or understanding to what they are doing, and will burn out quickly or work in wrong ways e. He who gives refers to the one who is a channel through which God provides resources for His body; this is an important spiritual gift which must be exercised with liberality; when someone who is called an gift to be a giver stops giving Iiberally, they will often see their resources dry up - having forgotten why God has blessed them f. He who leads must show diligence; it is easy for leaders to become discouraged and feel like giving up, but they must persevere if they will please God by their leadership g. He who shows mercy must have cheerfulness; it is a difficult thing to not only show mercy, but to be cheerful about it. This reminds us that the gift of showing mercy is a supernatural gift of the Holy Spirit C. A series of brief instructions on living like a Christian with others |

232 | Why did god disallow the man to take... | Gen 3:22 | inmyheart | 59916 | ||
inheaveneyes, Your question has provoked me for a long time. I too was curious to the "what if," and I found this answer from David Guzik's commentary. It starts with Genesis 3:22 to 24. Thank you for helping me search for this answer. God bless (22-24) God sets cherubim to guard the Tree of Life a. Understanding the idea behind Behold, the man has become like one of us, to know good and evil is tough. Perhaps there is a note of sarcasm in God here (as Elijah used in 1 Kings 18:27) regarding Satan's empty promise to become like gods; or, perhaps the idea focuses on man's greater knowledge (though in a bad sense) now that he has the experiential knowledge of evil b. In mercy, God was protecting Adam and Eve from the horrible fate of having to live forever as sinners by prohibiting them from eating from the tree of life c. Did Adam and Eve want to stay in Eden? Perhaps they felt that if they left the garden, they might never see God again. It was the only place where they had met Him. d. Cherubim are always (Ezekiel 10, Isaiah 6, Revelation 4) are always associated with the presence and glory of God. When cherubim are represented of God. When cherubim are represented on earth (such as in the tabernacle, Exodus 25:10-22), they mark a meeting place with God. Though Adam and Eve and their descendants were prohibited from eating of the tree of life (by God's mercy), they could still come there to meet God. This was their "holy of holies" i. "Any angel of the lowest rank could have dealt with Adam. The flaming sword was pointed against Satan to keep him from destroying the way of access to the altar, which God had set up." (Barnhouse) e. God probably did not destroy the garden of Eden, but left it to the effects of the curse and it generally deteriorated from the its original condition, blending into the surrounding geography |

233 | repentance first then reconcile | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 59873 | ||
ewokmomma, To your question, yes. That is what Jesus is saying. We can't have a relationship with God without first repenting, through our Lord Jesus, we can't serve God with our old nature. We can't have a marital relationship when there is a division, only when the two are one, will the marriage succeed. What makes a good marriage, is two forgiving hearts. However, God has called us to live in peace; But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace.(NKJV) May I suggest that you get council from your pastor. Your situation is not impossible, always look to God for your answer. God loves you! |

ewokmomma, Please re-read the last paragraph to my post that I sent you. My friend, if I might add, Forgiveness is the beginnig of healing to anyone who has been offended in any situation. Luke 23:34, speaks of this forgiveness. If only I had known the consequences of my sins in the past, I would not have done them, but by the transforming of the renewing of my mind, day by day, I'm able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will.(Romans 12:2) May God continue to lead you to your destination.

235 | what does ephesian 5:20 say? | Ephesians | inmyheart | 59707 | ||
Zak, Here is a commentary on Ephesians, starting with verse 19 to 21. For all things, is to work out what God has worked in. God's blessings to you. (19-21) Walking in the light means serving one another in love a. When we are filled with the Spirit, we will have a desire to worship God, and to encourage others in their worship of God i. The connection with being filled with the Spirit and praise is significant; those who are filled with the Spirit will naturally praise, and praise is a way that we are filled with the Spirit b. The variety of psalms and hymns and spiritual songs suggests that God delights in creative, spontaneous worship; and the most important place of us to have a melody unto God is in our heart; many who can't sing well have the most beautiful melodies in their heart! c. The one who is filled with the Spirit will also be filled with thanksgiving; a complaining heart and the Holy Spirit just don't go together d. Paul recommends the same pattern for our thanksgiving as he practiced in prayer in Ephesians 3:14 - giving thanks to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ e. When we are filled with the Spirit, it will show by our mutual submission to each other; and the submission will be done in the fear of God, not the fear of man i. Submission because of the fear of man is coercive; submission out of the fear of God is a beautiful act of love. |

237 | does God reconcile broken marriages? | Bible general Archive 1 | inmyheart | 59613 | ||
ewokmomma, I found this is my files. I'm not sure from what source it comes from, but this answeres your question. God bless you my friend as the Holy Spirit continues to lead you. ))))))))) * ((((((((((( First of all, the divine standard for marriage is lifelong commitment to one's spouse, and nothing else. Even though divorce was permitted in some cases under the Old Testament economy, Christ made it plain that this was not God's ideal. When He was asked this very question, "He answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." (Matthew 19:4-6). This seems very comprehensive and conclusive, yet He immediately followed up this statement with the following apparent exception: "Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery" (Matthew 19:9; see also Matthew 5:31, 32). It does seem from this statement that the discovery of extramarital unchastity on the part of one' spouse is here given as a possible grounds for divorce. God does place a high value on faithfulness, on the part of both bride and bridegroom, as a basis for a happy and lasting marriage. Fornication is condemned as a sin in both Old and New Testaments. In this day of widespread sexual license, however, this provision might well become a rather common ground for divorce, even among Christians. It does, indeed, dilute the principle of "one flesh" used by God to describe a true marriage. "What? Know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? For two, saith He, shall be one flesh . . . Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body: but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body" (I Corinthians 6:16, 18). This passage, incidentally, suggests that a woman who submits to extramarital sex becomes, in God's sight, a harlot, whether she yields her body for money or some other reason that she sees as profitable to herself. On the other hand, it is noteworthy that Jesus, evidently on a different occasion, did not give fornication as an excuse for divorce. "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery" (Luke 16:18). If there is any doubt, this also applies to wives. "And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery" (Mark 10:12). Since the lord would not contradict Himself, we should conclude that, while there may be some situations in which extramarital sex would create such problems in a marriage that divorce would be better than continuing in an unhealthy or even dangerous relationship, in general it would be better to forgive earlier indiscretions (if accompanied by repentance and present faithfulness) rather than to break up what might otherwise still be a good marriage. In both cases, however, Christ warned that remarriage after divorce amounts to adultery, a sin which is explicitly forbidden by God's seventh Commandment. Both divorce and remarriage, therefore, are extremely serious steps, and both violate the divine principle of permanent union and faithfulness in marriage. But this is not the whole story. "The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy . . . For He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust" (Psalm 103:8, 14). "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins" (I John 1:9). This promise is specifically for Christians, and includes even the sin of adultery, if there is genuine repentance. The Lord made this very clear in His dealing with the woman who "was taken in adultery, in the very act" (John 8:4). He reminded her accusers that they also were sinners and had no warrant to punish her. Then He told the woman: "Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more" (John 8:11). He in no way condoned her sin, but He did forgive her sin, when she gave evidence of godly sorrow and determination not to sin again in this way. Under such conditions, His followers would do well to follow His example. At least in this particular context, He put no further conditions on her freedom, either to return to her husband if he would have her, or to marry another if she were already divorced. |

239 | Filled by the holy spirit? | Eph 5:18 | inmyheart | 59313 | ||
Here is some information to your question. Ephesians 5:18. (18) Walking in the light means constantly being filled with the Holy Spirit a. In contrast with the conduct of the world (being drunk with wine), we are to be filled with the Spirit - and the grammar clearly says "be constantly being filled with the Holy Spirit" b. The filling of the Holy Spirit is not a one-time event that we live off of the rest of our days; it is a constant filling, asking to be filled, and receiving the filling by faith i. Though, there is a wonderful and significant first experience with the filling of the Holy Spirit, often thought of as the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:11; Acts 1:5 and 11:16), an experience valid and important for every believer ii. Much of the weakness, defeat and lethargy in our spiritual lives can be attributed to the fact that we are not constantly being filled with the Holy Spirit d. The grammar also indicates two other important things: the verb is also passive, so this is not a manufactured experience; and it is imperative, so this is not an optional experience! e. The carnal contrast to being filled with the Holy Spirit is being drunk; the Bible condemns drunkenness without reservation i. Paul here calls it dissipation; drunkenness is a waste of resources that should be submitted to Jesus ii. Wine is a mocker, Strong drink is a brawler, And whoever is led astray by it is not wise. (Proverbs 20:1); Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has contentions? Who has complaints? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes? Those who linger long at the wine, those who go in search of mixed wine. Do not look on the wine when it is red, When it sparkles in the cup, when it swirls around smoothly; at the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like a viper. Your eyes will see strange things, And your heart will utter perverse things. (Proverbs 23:29-33) iii. We must not think that only being "falling down drunk" is a sin; but being impaired in any way by drink is sin, as well as drinking with the intention of becoming impaired iv. "The danger of drunkenness lies not only in itself but in what it may induce." (Wood) Yearly, in the United States, alcohol is responsible for almost 100,000 deaths (25,000 by drunk drivers alone), 6 million non-fatal injuries, and more than 100 billion in economic losses such as unemployment and loss of productivity f. Alcohol is a depressant; it "loosens" people because it depresses their self-control, their wisdom, their balance and judgment. The Holy Spirit has an exactly opposite effect; He is a stimulant; He moves every aspect of our being to better and more perfect performance. God bless |

240 | Explanation for John 5:31 vs John 8:14 | John | inmyheart | 59206 | ||
Hello, Here is a commentary on John 5:31; The five-fold witness to who Jesus is 1. (31) Self-testimony was not reliable in a court of law 2. (33-35) First: the witness of John the Baptist 3. (36) Second: the witness of the works of Jesus 4. (32; 37-38) Third: the witness of the Father 5. (39) Fourth: the witness of the Scriptures 6. (40-44) The reason for their unbelief a. They are not willing; they have not God's love; they are concerned with man's honor, not the honor that comes from God b. This leaves them open to tremendous deception; even to follow an Anti-Christ. And John 8:13-20; (13-20) Jesus proclaims two witnesses to verify His person a. The mere fact that these Pharisees demand evidence to the light shows that they are blind to its shining b. Jesus points out the He is qualified to witness of Himself, not they, because only He has the view of eternity c. In any case, His testimony is fully supported by the Father d. Where is Your father? may be a slap at Jesus' mysterious conception e. They can only know the Father through the Son, who has declared Him. Praying that this is the information you are looking for. God bless |
