244 | When is Dan.12:11; Rev.12:11 fulfilled? | Mark 9:1 | meusing | 42895 | ||
Now you are twisting tenses to make the Bible say what you want it to say. "are standing" does not equal "will be standing". It is interesting that A.T Robertson notes : ''Mark has "see the kingdom of God come" (eleluquian, perfect active participle, already come) and adds "with power."'' As we who are citizens of the Kingdom are living in the kingdom of God, did not this Kingdom come in power at Pentecost? |

245 | what does Easter mean | Acts 12:4 | meusing | 42890 | ||
here is an interstin article on Easter traditions of the early church : EASTER CUSTOMS In ancient Egypt and Persia friends exchanged decorated eggs at the spring equinox (they have always been symbols of creation, fertility and new-life) the beginning of the new year. These eggs were a symbol of fertility for them because the coming forth of a live creature from an egg was so surprising to people of ancient times. Christians of the Near East adopted this tradition, and the Easter egg became a religious symbol. It represented the tomb from which Jesus broke forth. They were often colored red to represent the blood of Christ by which all believers were given a share in this new life of Christ. In medieval times eggs were traditionally given at Easter to all servants, and to the children (it was one of the foods forbidden during Lent), along with other gifts. It seems that the custom of hiding the eggs is a universal one. Rabbits were also a pre-Christian fertility symbol. Often they were used as images of Christ's post-resurrection appearances. These appearances were likened to the rabbits being seen and then disappearing and then being seen again somewhere else. The first mention of the Easter Bunny and his eggs seems to have come from Germany in the late 1500's. In many sections of Germany, the belief was that the Easter bunny laid red eggs on Holy Thursday and multi-colored eggs the night before Easter Sunday. In early Christian art the lily is a symbol of purity because of its delicacy of form and its whiteness. They did not exist in North America until about 100 years ago. The white trumpet lily, which blooms naturally in springtime, was brought here from Bermuda. They are popularly called "Easter Lilies because they bloom around Easter time. The American public quickly made it a symbolic feature of the Easter celebration. Prayers for the blessing of lambs, a significant symbol of Christ, dates back to the 7th century. From the 9th century, the main feature of the Pope's Easter dinner was roast lamb. The ancient tradition of the Paschal lamb inspired the use of lamb as a popular Easter food among all the faithful. in Europe, small figures of a lamb made from butter, pastry, and sugar are popular. The butterfly is an ancient Easter symbol. Just as the butterfly which emerges from the cocoon is the same caterpillar in new form, so Jesus, emerging from the tomb is the same person - glorified. Easter water is blessed solemnly at the Easter Vigil. Families are encouraged to bring home a container of this holy water to be used at home for family blessings on persons, house, etc. Some families clean out their fire-places on Good Friday and do without a fire until they bring home coals from the New Fire blessed at the Easter Vigil. In many parts of the world people serve traditional breads and pastries at Easter like the Russian Easter bread (Paska - because it is made in the round and rises up), the German Easter loaves (Osterstollen), the Polish Easter cake (Baba Wielancona), etc. Very often these breads and pastries, together with meat and eggs, are blessed on Holy Saturday. An Italian custom is to make a simple sweet bread dough shaped in the form of a chick, bunny, or doll. These breads are baked with a whole egg placed in the "tummy" of the form and frosted with egg yolk. The whole family is involved in the making of these Easter breads. They are brought to the Easter Vigil to be blessed and are given as gifts on Easter Sunday to young friends and relatives. Early Christians customarily celebrated Easter Week as days of joy and laughter. They would tell jokes, play pranks, feast on lamb, dance, sing and express humor and joy over this "final joke" on the devil, death and evil. They would add fragrant oil or perfume to the Easter water they had brought home with them from church, as a reminder of the sacred chrism. This water was used to sprinkle and bless food, pets, gardens, homes and more. In some countries you could get soaked this week. Baptism was recalled with the custom of "dousing". On Easter Monday men wake women with a spritz of the perfumed Easter water while they whisper "May you never wither." On Easter Tuesday women wake men with a bucketful of the scented water. |

247 | When will Christ come in Kingdom Power? | Mark 9:1 | meusing | 42784 | ||
Mark 9:1 HAS been fulfilled when John saw the Kingdom of God come in power. that is what the verse is refering to. The two verses 8:38 and 9:1 form one paragraph and should go together. Let us make sure that we are not ashamed of Christ Jesus. remember Peter questioned Jesus about this very thing. John 21:22 Jesus said to him, If I want him to stay (survive, live) until I come, what is that to you? [What concern is it of yours?] You follow Me! John 21:23 So word went out among the brethren that this disciple was not going to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not going to die, but, If I want him to stay (survive, live) till I come, what is that to you? |

248 | unwanted by husband | Matt 5:32 | meusing | 42745 | ||
Wanted By Christ. 1 Cor 7:13 And if any woman has an unbelieving husband and he consents to live with her, she should not leave or divorce him. 1 Cor 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is set apart (separated, withdrawn from heathen contamination, and affiliated with the Christian people) by union with his consecrated (set-apart) wife, and the unbelieving wife is set apart and separated through union with her consecrated husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean (unblessed heathen, outside the Christian covenant), but as it is they are prepared for God [pure and clean]. 1 Cor 7:15 But if the unbelieving partner [actually] leaves, let him do so; in such [cases the remaining] brother or sister is not morally bound. But God has called us to peace. |

252 | describe the divided kingdoms. | OT general | meusing | 42734 | ||
The Northern kingdom was Israel and the Southern kingdom was Judah. "The divided Kingdom period lasted for 253 years, and in respect of the relation to one anothe of the South and North it is divisible into three parts. First of all these kingdoms were antagonistic to one another; SOUTH - Rehoboam to Asa BC 975-924 61 NORTH - Jeroboam to Omri BC 975-918 57 (1 Kings 12-16:28 2 Chron 10-16) then, by marriage, they became allies for a while; SOUTH - Jehoshaphat to Jehoash BC 914-839 75 NORTH - Ahab to Jehoahaz BC 918-839 79 (1 Kings 16:29-2 Kings 13:9 2 Chron 17-24) and, finally, until the removal into captivity of the people of the North, they were again antagonistic. SOUTH - Amaziah to Hezekiah BC 839-722 117 (61 plus 75 plus 117 equals 253 Years) NORTH - Joash to Hoshea BC 839-722 117 (57 plus 79 plus 117 equals 253 Years) (2 Kings 13:10-18:12 2 Chron 25-29)" The Unfolding Drama of Redemption by W.

253 | is it possible to keep sinning and keep | Rom 6:1 | meusing | 42728 | ||
I am not sure about a xtian, but a follower of Christ will not continue sinning knowing what it cost the Lord. We sometimes fall knowing 1 John 1:7 But if we [really] are living and walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]. 1 John 1:8 If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude and lead ourselves astray, and the Truth [which the Gospel presents] is not in us [does not dwell in our hearts]. 1 John 1:9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action]. so we get up and continue in the Love of God, knowing we are not our own, but bought with a great price 1 Cor 6:20 |

256 | Where did Adam. Eve, and Cain go ? | Bible general Archive 1 | meusing | 42721 | ||
Huhnn?? what is your question? Genesis is the revelation of God of His redeeming work. Cain and his decendants rejected God. Around the time on Noah it is recorded " Ge 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." There is no distintion between Cain's descendants and Seth's or place mentioned other that the earth. |

257 | Predestination | Eph 1:4 | meusing | 42551 | ||
Yes, Jesus came to call sinners to REPENTANCE. But some will not. It is made clear in Scripture that there are people who reject Jesus. Jesus Himself said : John 3:19 The [basis of the] judgment (indictment, the test by which men are judged, the ground for the sentence) lies in this: the Light has come into the world, and people have loved the darkness rather than and more than the Light, for their works (deeds) were evil. [Isa. 5:20.] John 3:20 For every wrongdoer hates (loathes, detests) the Light, and will not come out into the Light but shrinks from it, lest his works (his deeds, his activities, his conduct) be exposed and reproved. He cried over Jerusalem because they rejected Him. He said : " Matt 11:21 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes [and their hearts would have been changed]. Matt 11:22 I tell you [further], it shall be more endurable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. Matt 11:23 And you, Capernaum, are you to be lifted up to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades [the region of the dead]! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have continued until today. Matt 11:24 But I tell you, it shall be more endurable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you. " That does not seem to indicate that they will all be saved. Rom 1:29 Until they were filled (permeated and saturated) with every kind of unrighteousness, iniquity, grasping and covetous greed, and malice. [They were] full of envy and jealousy, murder, strife, deceit and treachery, ill will and cruel ways. [They were] secret backbiters and gossipers, Rom 1:30 Slanderers, hateful to and hating God, full of insolence, arrogance, [and] boasting; inventors of new forms of evil, disobedient and undutiful to parents. Rom 1:31 [They were] without understanding, conscienceless and faithless, heartless and loveless [and] merciless. Rom 1:32 Though they are fully aware of God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them themselves but approve and applaud others who practice them. |

259 | Why is forgiveness so impt 4 Christian | Bible general Archive 1 | meusing | 42540 | ||
The entire Bible stresses the need for forgiveness. Even Adam needed forgiveness. the books of the Old Testament and the New both show our need. In the Old, forgiveness was shown through the sacrifices. the New showed us that the sacrifices were types of what Christ did on the cross. He was and is the Lamb of God. Without forgiveness we are left with only God's Jugement against sin. |
