221 | tell me the answer to 1corinthiansc15v35 | 1 Cor 15:35 | Makarios | 224302 | ||
Greetings Trebacannon, You ask, "tell me the answer to 1 Cor 15:35" 1 Cor. 15:35 "But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?" (KJV) Here is some commentary on this verse: "15:35-50 Here Paul deals with two common errors in regard to the nature of the resurrection body: (1) that it is the same body that was laid in the grave, simply reconstituted; and (2) that the new body is unrelated to the original one. Paul here explains that it is the body God has chosen (v. 38), related to the former (v. 36) yet different (vv. 39-41)." (1) I hope that this helps! Blessings to you, Makarios (1) The Ryrie Study Bible, Expanded Edition, pg. 1840, 1995 by the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago |

223 | info on final judgement | NT general | Makarios | 223814 | ||
Greetings Jocaffee, You ask, "will there be a final judgement at the end of time"? Yes. All believers will one day stand before the judgment seat of Christ (Romans 14:10-11). This judgment has nothing to do with whether or not the Christian will remain saved. Those who have placed their faith in Christ are saved, and nothing can threaten that (Ephesians 4:30). This judgment has to do with the reception or loss of rewards (Psalm 62:12; Matt. 12:35-37, 16:27; Ephesians 6:7-8). At this judgment, believers will be more thankful for entering into the Kingdom of Heaven than being remorseful for what they did on earth. The crown of life is given to those who persevere under trial or suffer to the point of death (James 1:12; Rev. 2:10). The crown of glory is given to those who faithfully and sacrificially minister God's Word to the flock (1 Peter 5:4). The crown incorruptible is given to those who win the race of temperance and self-control (1 Cor. 9:25), and the crown of righteousness is given to those who long for the second coming of Christ (2 Tim. 4:8). Believers are redeemed in order to bring glory to God (1 Cor. 6:20) and we cast our crowns before the throne in worship and adoration! (Rev. 4:10) The Great White Throne judgment is the judgment that unbelievers must face (Revelation 20:11-15). Believers will not participate in this judgment, and Christ will judge on the basis of works (Rev. 20:12-13). Those who get to this judgment are already unsaved. Blessings to you, Makarios |

224 | Is the tree is Gen.2:17 a first- fruit? | Gen 2:17 | Makarios | 223796 | ||
Greetings Jimore, You ask, "In Genesis 2:17 have you heard anything to the effect that God is implying the fruit of tree of the knowledge of good and evil should not be eaten because it constitutes the "first fruits" and there for belongs to Him." Related scripture verses: Ezekiel 47:7-12; Jeremiah 17:8; Revelation 2:7, 22:2-14 Based on these passages, if you conclude that those of the redeemed in Christ are the "first fruits" (Romans 8:23; 1 Cor. 15:20-23; James 1:18), and since God forbade fallen man to eat of the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden, then you would be correct. Blessings to you, Makarios |

225 | three men were healed why one turn back | Luke 17:12 | Makarios | 223795 | ||
Greetings Tysonackles! You ask, "jesus healed three men with leporsy, why did one turn back to give him thanks" The passage that you are referring to is Luke 17:12-19 where Jesus in fact healed 10 leprous men and only one, a Samaritan, thanked Him for it. A person with leprosy (see Leviticus 13) was required to be removed from society and cry "unclean" whenever other people came near. Leprosy serves as an illustration of sin. The other 9 men were Jewish and knew by Law (Lev. 14:1-32) that they had to go to the priest to certify their cleansing, and Jesus tells them "Go and show yourselves to the priests." (Luke 17:14) It could be seen as a sign of faith that they were healed while on their way to the priests. But the only one of the 10, a Samaritan (1), stopped and gave thanks: since he was a representative of those outside Israel who were responding to Jesus' message, while the other nine illustrated the Jews who rejected Him. (1) Samaritans were despised by Jews because of their mixed Gentile blood and their different worship (John 4:20-22). I hope this helps! Blessings to you, Makarios |

226 | What is Hosea 11:12? What's its origins? | Hos 11:12 | Makarios | 223793 | ||
Greetings EWM! Great Question! Here are some translation comparisons: "Ephraim has surrounded me with lies, the house of Israel with deceit. And Judah is unruly against God, even against the faithful Holy One." (NIV) "Israel surrounds me with lies and deceit, but Judah still walks with God and is faithful to the Holy One." (NLT) "Ephraim has surrounded me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah still walks with God, and is faithful to the Holy One." (NRSV) "Ephraim has encircled Me with lies, And the house of Israel with deceit; But Judah still walks with God, Even with the Holy One who is faithful." (NKJV) "Ephraim surrounds Me with lies And the house of Israel with deceit; Judah is also unruly against God, Even against the Holy One who is faithful." (NASB) The NET Bible (www.bible.org) renders this verse this way: "(1) Ephraim has surrounded me with lies; the house of Israel has surrounded me (2) with deceit. But Judah still roams about with (3) God; he remains faithful to the Holy One." And the following notes: "(1) Beginning with 11:12, the verse numbers through 12:14 in the English Bible differ by one from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 11:12 ET - 12:1 HT, 12:1 ET - 12:2 HT, etc., through 12:14 ET - 12:15 HT. From 13:1 to 13:16 the verse numbers in the English Bible and the Hebrew Bible are again the same. "(2) The phrase "has surrounded me" is not repeated in the Hebrew text here, but is implied by the parallelism in the preceding line. It is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons, smoothness, and readability. (3) The verb (rud, "to roam about freely") is used in a concrete sense to refer to someone wandering restlessly and roaming back and forth (BDB 923 s.v.; Judg 11:37). Here, it is used figuratively, possibly with positive connotations, as indicated by the preposition im, "with"), to indicate accompaniment: "but Judah still goes about with God" (HALOT 1194 s.v.). Some English versions render it positively: "Judah still walks with God" (RSV, NRSV); "Judah is restive under God" (REB); "but Judah stands firm with God" (NJPS); "but Judah yet ruleth with God" (KJV, ASV). Other English versions adopt the negative connotation "to wander restlessly" and nuance in an adversative sense ("against"): "Judah is still rebellious against God" (NAB), "Judah is unruly against God" (NIV), and "the people of Judah are still rebelling against me" (TEV)."

227 | explain to me what salvation means | Acts 16:31 | Makarios | 223791 | ||
Greetings Glomo25! You ask, "explain to me what salvation means" In Acts 16:31 the jailer asked Paul and Silas how to be saved. They responded, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved." The jailer believed and immediately became saved! In John 11:25 Jesus says, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies." John 3:15 tells us that "everyone who believes in him may have eternal life." John 5:24 "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life." John 20:31 says, "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." Salvation is a free gift from God when you place your faith in Him after truly believing in the truth of His Word and trusting in His mercy that He will forgive us of our sins and reconcile us to Himself. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Greetings Jaws1975, Genesis 7:23 says that every living thing that roamed the Earth (including mankind) perished in the Flood, except for Noah and those who were with him in the ark. Genesis 7:13 lists those who were with Noah in the ark. Blessings to you, Makarios |

229 | HELP! Having questions and no answers | Bible general Archive 4 | Makarios | 223787 | ||
Greetings Rclouviere! Sorry for my delayed response. Mark 11:23-24 does say, "whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" (NIV), but there are, in fact, limitations on what God will give us. We must not ask out of our own selfishness (James 4:3) and it must be in accord with His will (1 John 5:14 - see NASB). Even Jesus prayed, "Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me" (Matthew 26:39 - see NASB). We must "abide in Him" and in His will and let His Word "abide in us" (John 15:7). Blessings to you, Makarios |

230 | HELP! Having questions and no answers | Bible general Archive 4 | Makarios | 223741 | ||
Greetings Rclouviere, You asked: "1) God has said he will meet all of our needs (even cares for the sparrow, and he obviously thinks more highly of us); however, I'm sure there have been some Christians who have starved to death even after asking for help from God???" Scripture says that God hears our prayers (1 Peter 3:12), but God also allowed Stephen to be stoned (Acts 7) and His people are martyred in His name (Revelation 6:9). From our standpoint, we could never know that God would use the martyrdom of Stephen to bring about a young man named Saul (Acts 7:58), who would later be known as Paul, spurring him on to reach everyone for Christ! We simply do not know all of God's purposes and why some prayers are answered and others seem not to be; we are simply to stand firm in our faith that God stands on His promises and will never waver in our defense, even if our stand leads to death (Psalm 48:14). "2) Also, while I'm aware God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, but, in looking at the old testament', and comparing it with the new testament, He seems very different (killing of entire races of people, even children, death penalty for adultery, etc., but in the new testament, with Jesus, He seems so compassionate and loving and forgiving." Both the Old and New Testaments point to one and the same God, who is a God of both love and judgment. God did judge people in the Old Testament when the circumstances called for it (Exodus 7-11). But He also displayed His love and grace - see Genesis 3:15 and the promise of a coming Redeemer and God's provision for Noah and his family (Genesis 6:9-22). Also, God in His grace sent prophets to carry His revelation and established covenants (Genesis 12:1-3; 2 Sam. 7:12-16). In the New Testament, the love of God was continually manifested to the people through Jesus Christ. But also keep in mind that some of the most scathing denouncements from God came from Jesus (see Matthew 23:27-28,33). So, God is a God of love and judgment in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Blessings to you, Makarios |

231 | Works of the flesh | Galatians | Makarios | 223739 | ||
Greetings Ms. Ellie, Perhaps the best Scriptural example of a comparison/contrast between works of faith and works of flesh can be found in Galatians 5:19-23: "Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." Blessings to you, Makarios |

Greetings four2nutt1, According to Halley's Bible Handbook, if Jacob (Israel) and Judah lived approximately 1800 B.C. and King David around 1050 B.C., then you could say that there were approximately 800 years between Judah and King David. Blessings to you, Makarios |

233 | Sex with a virgin constitutes marriage? | Deut 22:19 | Makarios | 223733 | ||
Greetings Joyus1, You ask, "Sex with a virgin constitutes marriage?" Based on such verses as Exodus 22:16-17 and Deut. 22:19 and 22:28, God's view of a woman's virginity is that of a very sacred thing to the marriage relationship - "He shall take a wife in her virginity" (Lev. 21:13). If a man has sex with a virgin outside of marriage, then there is a stiff penalty - he has to pay the price (as in Exodus 22:16-17) and be bound to her all of his days - he cannot divorce her (Deut. 22:19 and 28). So it is a very serious thing to bring "a bad name upon a virgin of Israel" (Deut. 22:19), and Christians are also called to keep the marriage bed pure (Hebrews 13:4). God intended sexual activity to be confined to the marriage relationship (1 Cor. 7:2). Sex, within marriage, is a good thing (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5). But sex outside of the confines of marriage (Exodus 20:14; Matthew 5:27-28) is fornication (1 Cor. 6:13,18; Heb. 13:4). Blessings to you, Makarios |

234 | Would God separate a marriage? | Mal 2:16 | Makarios | 223730 | ||
Greetings Joyus1, You ask, "Would God separate a marriage?" Answer: No. God hates divorce (Mal. 2:16) Malachi 2:16 "For I hate divorce," says the LORD, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with wrong," says the LORD of hosts. "So take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously." Blessings to you, Makarios |

235 | is it a sin to marry a divorced woman | Bible general Archive 4 | Makarios | 223694 | ||
Greetings bjb61, You ask, "Is it a sin to marry a divorced woman?" Divorce was never part of God's original plan, and marriage was intended to be dissolved only when one of the marriage partners died (Rom. 7:1-3; 1 Cor. 7:8-9) and younger widows are advised to remarry (1 Tim. 5:14). Divorce is allowed only due to unfaithfulness (Matthew 19:9) and desertion (1 Cor. 7:15-16), and God's desire is for reconciliation (Eph. 4:32; Col. 3:13). But if all of this is in the past, then God forgives divorce (Col. 2:13) even though the consequences of past divorce remain. Blessings to you, Makarios |

236 | difference, angles,of the Lord,guardian | Bible general Archive 4 | Makarios | 223692 | ||
Greetings Smith 1 Polly, Angels do God's work and obey His Word (Psalm 103:20) and there are literally thousands and thousands of them (Psalm 68:17)! Verses that lend support to the possibility of guardian angels are Matthew 18:10 and Acts 12:15. While it is certainly possible that each believer has a specific guardian angel assigned to them, Scripture also seems to indicate that many multitudes of angels are always ready to help Christians in need (2 Kings 6:17; Luke 16:22; Matthew 26:53; Psalm 91:9-11). As for the Angel of the Lord, it is thought that this is actually a preincarnate appearance of Christ in the Old Testament, since the Angel of the Lord is identified as being Yahweh (or God - Exodus 3:1-2; Zechariah 1:12) and demanded worship (Exodus 3:5; Joshua 5:15). It is definitely important to distinguish between an angel of the Lord in the New Testament (a created angel) and the Angel of the Lord in the Old Testament (preincarnate Christ). In either case, Christ is and has always been the Divine Intermediary between God the Father and man. Blessings to you, Makarios |
