221 | Is it bibical for a church to require? | John 8:7 | Morant61 | 224334 | ||
Greetings Setonahill! I may have missed it, but has it been made clear that only this sin is dealt with in this manner? Or is it all exposed sin? As I have followed this thread, I was under the assumption that this particular sin was being asked about, but no where do I recall anyone saying that this was the only sin dealt with in the manner. I must agree with Beja though that the fact that every secret sin cannot be exposed does not mitigate our responsibility as churches to deal with exposed sin. :-) By the way, welcome to the forum! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

222 | Did Lucifewr have a brother? | 2 Tim 2:15 | Morant61 | 224284 | ||
Greetings Sharry! If memory serves, the Mormons teach that Jesus and Lucifer are spirit brothers. But, as Brad has already pointed out, there is no Scripture to support this notion. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

224 | What does Zech 6:1-8 prophesy about | Zech 6:1 | Morant61 | 224188 | ||
Greetings Chomba! Unless Scripture interprets prophecy for us, it is always a futile quest to fully understand it. :-) However, the basic message can usually be gleaned, if not all of the details. The message of Zechariah can best be understood as a two fold promise to Israel. A promise that Israel's punishment will not last forever and that those who hurt Israel will be held accountable. In chapter one of Zechariah, four horses stood for four spirits of God sent out into the world, while four horns represented four great powers in the world who would be judged. Thus, the easiest way to understand Zech. 6:1-8 is to see the four chariots as going out from God (from Israel, between the two mountains) and into the world to carry out God's judgment. When did this happen? Most likely it happened when Israel was brought back into her own land again. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

225 | did Christ reveal to the disciples | NT general | Morant61 | 224186 | ||
Greetings Pew Potato! I agree that we must be careful not to read details into the text. However, the key word here is the 'cloth'. If the cloth refers to a towel, then the verb used obviously means that it was folded and set aside neatly. If the cloth refers to bands of material, then the verb used would mean that it was wrapped, which could describe either an action prior to the resurrection or after. Either way, the meaning of the text is not changed in any way. Jesus was alive! Praise the Lord! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

226 | what does he mean about this verse | Mark 10:25 | Morant61 | 224185 | ||
Greetings JPatt! Thanks for the response! There have been attempts over the years to make the saying less difficult. One explanation was that maybe the word should have been 'rope' instead of 'camel'. However, in Greek, they are two different words. Some later manuscripts use the word for 'rope', rather than camel, but there is no textual support for such a reading. Another explanation is that in Aramaic, the words for 'rope' and 'camel' are the same. However, the problem here is that the text is written in Greek, not Aramaic, so it really makes no difference. A third view was that 'eye of the needle' referred to a really small gate through which a camel had to crawl. There was a needle gate, but it wasn't built until the middle ages, so it can't be what Jesus was referencing. Either way, the text makes it clear that the difficulty is supposed to be there. That is why the disciples asked Jesus, 'Then, How can anyone be saved?' in v. 26. They apparently understood Jesus' saying as being difficult even then. :-) The link you provided is pretty good. They argue there that His statement was meant to be hyperbole and difficult. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

227 | did Christ reveal to the disciples | NT general | Morant61 | 224179 | ||
Greetings CDBJ! I'll have to do some more reading on your info, but the Greek word for 'cloth' is 'soudarian'. It refers to a small towel used to wipe sweat from one's face. In this case, they were sometimes used to cover the face during burial. The word doesn't seem to match the description give by your source, as it is a towel, not strips of cloth. The same word is used in Luke 19:20, John 11:44, and Acts 19:12. I'll do some more checking though. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

228 | what does he mean about this verse | Mark 10:25 | Morant61 | 224173 | ||
Greetings! A camel cannot go through an eye of a needle. So, Jesus is saying that a rich man cannot enter the kingdom of God. This went against the religious views of the day because most thought that one could 'earn' their way into heaven through charitable gifts. The disciples clearly understood His meaning because they ask in v. 26, 'Who then can be saved?' In verse 27 though, Jesus makes it clear that salvation is possible only through God, not through trusting in riches. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

229 | Crowns we cast at Jesus feet real or not | Rev 4:10 | Morant61 | 224158 | ||
Greetings Beja! Good point! :-) Another thought that I have had over the years is that many of the crowns are different ways of describing the same thing - salvation. As I have looked at these passages, I can really only see two distinct crowns, the Crown of life and the Martyr's crown. Personally, I believe that all of the 'other' crowns are just different ways of saying crown of life. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

230 | did Christ reveal to the disciples | NT general | Morant61 | 224157 | ||
Greetings CDBJ! Actually, the Gospel of John records that the grave clothes were folded and neatly placed in the tomb. Joh 20:6 Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 20:7 as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus' head. The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

231 | Is speaking in tongues bibical in today | 1 Cor 14:27 | Morant61 | 224156 | ||
Greetings Singlelady! Scripture gives very clear instructions concerning the gift of tongues and it's role in public worship. 1Co 14:26 What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church. 1Co 14:27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two--or at the most three--should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. 1Co 14:28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God. 1Co 14:29 Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. 1Co 14:30 And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. 1Co 14:31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. 1Co 14:32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

233 | matt.1-17 14 generations? I see 13 for | Matt 1:17 | Morant61 | 224080 | ||
Greetings! Here is what John Wesley had to say about the count of Matt. 1:17: "Mat 1:17 So all the generations - Observe, in order to complete the three fourteens, David ends the first fourteen, and begins the second (which reaches to the captivity) and Jesus ends the third fourteen." The three fourteens appear to have been a mnemonic aid and did not include every possible generation. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

234 | Explain the Trinity | Gen 1:1 | Morant61 | 223970 | ||
Greetings Skeppel! As Justme pointed out, there is no simple way to explain the Trinity. However, there is an effective way. There is only one God. The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. However, the Father is not the Son, and the Son is not the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is not the Father. The traditional definition of the Trinity is One God eternally existing in three distinct persons. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

236 | i need help with a question | John | Morant61 | 223943 | ||
Greetings! You may be looking for: Joh 4:21 Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. I can't think of any other verse that sounds like what you are saying. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

237 | Women being submissive? | 1 Cor 14:34 | Morant61 | 223875 | ||

238 | OtTgentile "anointed" | Is 45:1 | Morant61 | 223873 | ||
Greetings Pumpkin! I believe you are looking for Is. 45:1: Isa 45:1 This is what the LORD says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him and to strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut: Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

239 | Love your enemies | Matt 5:44 | Morant61 | 223847 | ||
Greetings! It is easier to explain this saying than it is to live it. :-) Imagine that you love your mother more than anything or anyone in the world. Treat your enemies the same way that you would treat her. Jesus is simply saying that we should behave differently than the world by loving everyone, including those who hate us. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

240 | How to answer my Atheist Coworker/friend | Luke 21:32 | Morant61 | 223845 | ||
Greetings! The simplest way to explain this passage to your friend is that the 'generation' refers to the generation that sees the signs mentioned in the passage, not the generation alive when Christ spoke these words. So, the 'generation' of Luke 21:32 could yet be future. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
