283 | Book of Life and Lamb Book of Life | Rev 13:8 | kalos | 176140 | ||
Question: "What is the difference between the Book of Life and the Lamb's Book of life?" Answer: 'The book of life can refer to two concepts: (1) physical life on earth, or (2) spiritual (eternal) life from God. The first occurrence of a "book" containing the names of the righteous is Exodus 32:30-35. Moses offers the erasure of his name from God’s book in exchange for the forgiveness of the people who had sinned. Among the sinners, were both Aaron (the chief priest) and the people (some saved and some not saved), indicating that the book contains the names of both sinners and saints. This book is, therefore, a book of the physically alive on the earth. This is borne out by the fact that every explicit reference to the book of life in the Old Testament refers to those physically alive on the earth (Exe 32:32ff; Ps. 69:28; Isa 4:3; Dan 12:1; Mal 3:16-17). 'The Lamb’s book of life, however, refers to those eternally elected. Revelation 13:8 (Holman Christian Standard Bible) states, "All those who live on the earth will worship him (the beast, NIV), everyone whose name was not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered. " '"All those who live on the earth" is a technical phrase used in the book of Revelation to refer to unsaved men in opposition to God and His people. "Written from the foundation of the world" indicates that the earth-dwellers were never written in "the book of life of the Lamb."' ____________________ Source: www.revelationcommentary.org/03_chapter.html |

23 With them they sent the following letter: The apostles and elders, your brothers, To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia: Greetings... 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Acts 15:23, 28-29 New International Version |

286 | Why didn't Jesus make fig tree bear frui | Matt 21:19 | kalos | 176107 | ||
Since Jesus was hungry, why didn't He COMMAND the fig tree to bear fruit? Matthew 4:1-4 New King James Version Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the Son of God, COMMAND that these stones become bread." But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'" |

What does the Bible say about church discipline? 'Excommunication is the formal removal of an individual from church membership roles and the informal separation of company from that individual. Matthew 18:15-20 gives the procedure and authority for a church to do this. It instructs us that one individual (usually the offended party) is to go to the offending individual. If he/she does not repent, then two or three go to confirm the situation and the refusal to repent. If there is no repentance, it is taken before the church. This process is never "desirable," just as a parent never delights in having to discipline his/her children. Often, though, it is necessary. The purpose is not to be mean spirited or to display a "better than thou" attitude. Rather, it is to be done in love toward the individual, in obedience and honor to God, and in godly fear for the sake of others in the church. (...) 'We have all likely witnessed the behavior of a child who has been allowed to do as he/she pleased with no or very little consistent discipline. It is not a pretty sight! Nor is such parenting loving for it dooms the child to a dismal future. Such behavior will handicap the child from forming meaningful relationships and performing well in any kind of a setting, whether socially or in an occupation. In a like manner, discipline in the church setting, while neither enjoyable nor easy, is not only necessary, but loving as well.' To read more go to: www.gotquestions.org/ church-discipline.html |

The Myth of Never Judging That we are never to judge is an idea not taught in Scripture. In the NT what does "judge" mean? In the New Testament the word translated "judge" means: try, investigate, inquire into, discern, pass disciplinary judgment [passing censuring sentence as the facts require], discern the difference between right and wrong, decide grievances, disputes, and quarrels, think over and make up your mind, searchingly examine, pay attention and weigh and discern [what is said], examine, test and evaluate. Do not judge? Do not judge and criticize and condemn others, so that you may not be judged and criticized and condemned yourselves. Matthew 7:1 Amplified New Testament "7:1 Judge not. As the context reveals, this does not prohibit all types of judging (v. 16). There is a righteous kind of judgment we are supposed to exercise with careful discernment (John 7:24). Censorious, hypocritical, self-righteous, or other kinds of unfair judgments are forbidden; but in order to fulfill the commandments that follow, it is necessary to discern dogs and swine (v. 6) from one's own brethren (vv. 3-5)" (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). A careful reading of the NT and a study of the passages in which the English word "judge" appears may surprise you. According to the Scriptures (see below), Christians are to judge: - all things - those who are inside the church - the world - angels - what is said or taught - ourselves So believers are to judge at least six different things or groups of people. Scriptural examples of Christians judging are presented below. The following Scripture quotations are from the New King James Version (NKJV) unless otherwise noted. In quotations from the NKJV, all words enclosed in parentheses ( ) or brackets [ ] are from the text of the Amplified New Testament (AMP). 1 Co 2:15 (AMP) But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one . . . 1 Co 5: 12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge (pass disciplinary judgment [passing censuring sentence on them as the facts require] AMP) those who are inside [the church]? 1 Co 6:2 Do you not know that the saints will judge (and govern) the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge (try) the smallest matters? 1 Co 6:3 Do you not know that we shall judge angels (and pronounce opinion between right and wrong [for them] AMP)? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 1 Co 6:5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge (to decide [the private grievances, disputes, and quarrels] AMP) between his brethren? 1 Co 10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge (think over and make up your minds AMP) for yourselves [about] what I say. 1 Co 11:31 For if we would judge (searchingly examine) ourselves [detecting our shortcomings and recognizing our own condition AMP], we would not be judged. 1 Co 14:29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge (pay attention and weigh and discern what is said AMP). 2 Co 13:5 (AMP) Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves... |

289 | how do i love my neighbor as myself? | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 176000 | ||
Where does the Bible say we must hang out with those people who degrade us? I'm not sure that it does. Regarding those who mistreat us, the Bible teaches us to love them, pray for them, do good to them, etc. But does it say we have to hang out with them, i.e. spend a lot of time being around them? It may, but offhand I can't think of any place where it does. |

290 | Removing Holy Spirit removes the church | 2 Thess 2:7 | kalos | 175940 | ||
Who is "he who now restrains" 2 Th 2:6-7? ____________________ "There is every possibility that he (Michael) is the restrainer of 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7." ____________________ 'The importance of Michael to the eschatological end times cannot be over-stated. His voice will be heard at the Rapture (1 Thess 4:16). His actions will initiate the final unparalleled persecution of Israel (Dan 12:1). He initiates the battle that ignites the final conflict prior to the coming of the Son to rule all the nations (Rev 12:7). There is every possibility that he is the restrainer of 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7. The former three passages mentioned all deal with the beginning of the forty-two months; time, times and half a time; and, one thousand two hundred and sixty days, which mark the eschatological period just prior to the Lord’s return at Armageddon.' (www.revelationcommentary.org/ 12_chapter.html) The Restrainer is removed AMPLIFIED 2 Th. 2:6-8 6 And now you know what is restraining him [from being revealed at this time]; it is so that he may be manifested (revealed) in his own [appointed] time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness (that hidden principle of rebellion against constituted authority) is already at work in the world, [but it is] restrained only until he who restrains is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one (the antichrist) will be revealed... AMPLIFIED Daniel 12:1 AND AT that time [of the end] Michael shall arise, the great [angelic] prince who defends and has charge of your [Daniel's] people. And there shall be a time of trouble, straitness, and distress such as never was since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the Book [of God's plan for His own]. (www.solagroup.org/articles/ endtimes/ep_0011.html) 'Daniel wrote of Michael, the restrainer, this way: "And at that time shall Michael stand up [literally, stand still or desist from helping Israel], the great prince which standeth [whose normal and continued ministry had been to help Israel]" (Dan. 12:1); and Paul wrote of the restrainer this way: "He who now letteth [restrains] will let [continue his normal restraining ministry], until he be taken out of the way [ceases his normal ministry of restraining]" (2 Th. 2:7). The parallel between the two is conspicuous. 'The apostle Paul clearly had Daniel 12:1 in mind when he wrote 2 Thessalonians 2:7. The clear and compelling allusion to Daniel 12 would indicate that the restrainer is the archangel Michael.1' (www.zionsfire.org/daniel.html) For a detailed explanation of the archangel Michael as the restrainer, see the article by Marv Rosenthal at: www.zionsfire.org/daniel.html |

292 | marriage with cousins | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 175794 | ||
Cousin marriage-no Biblical prohibition "Fact: Leviticus 18 lists all forbidden sexual relationships. Cousin relationships are not included. "Fact: God commanded many cousins to marry, including Zelophehad's 5 daughters, Eleazar's daughters, Jacob (who married both Rachel and Leah, first cousins), and Isaac and Rebekkah (first cousins once removed). All were ancestors of Jesus Christ." "There is more than one account of where God put cousins together. Read the following references in their entirety. "Isaac married Rebekkah, his first cousin once removed. Genesis 24:12-51 "Jacob married two of his cousins, Rachel and Leah. I love this story! Genesis chapters 28-29 "Zelophehad's five orphaned daughters were commanded by God to marry cousins. Numbers 36 "Eleazar's daughters each married first cousins, as they were instructed. I Chronicles 23:22 "In the 18th chapter of Leviticus, the Bible provides a lengthy list of forbidden relationships. These laws are the scriptural definition of sexual impurity. Not one mention of cousins, of any degree, is made. "Some would argue that these are all Old Testament references. That is correct. The reason for this is that the New Testament does not specifically address the rules of sexual misconduct, with the exception of fornication, other than to refer you back to the Old Testament laws. "Biblical prohibitions of cousin marriage reside only in the minds of the unlearned." (www.cousincouples.com/info/religion.shtml) |

"...and then the end will come." "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come." Matthew 24:14 NASB (Source: That Other Gospel by Rev. Charles Cooper) 'A literal and exegetical translation of Matthew 24:13-14 says, 'In contrast to the look-a-like Christians who fall away because of the persecution of Antichrist, he (the faithful followers) who endures to the end (of the age) shall be physically delivered and this good news of the reign of God -- when God's wrath is poured out on earth -- will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, then the end (of the age) will come. (...) 'Once the reader understands that the "great tribulation" is the wrath of Satan executed through the persecution of God's elect by the Beast, Antichrist, (Matt. 24:15, 21-22; Rev. 12:12-13:7), the end-times sequence is clear. First, Antichrist begins to execute Satan's three-and-a-half-year wrath campaign against God's people. Satan's persecution will cause a great falling away of look-a-like Christians, (Matt. 24:10-12). After some time, when circumstances are bleak for God's elect, (Matt. 24:22), an angel will proclaim the good news of God's imminent arrival to rescue the survivors and punish the wicked, (Matt. 24:14, Rev. 14:6-7, I Thess. 4:15,17). Then the sign in the sun, moon and stars will be given which signals the imminent arrival of the wrath of God, (Matt. 24:29, Rev. 6:12-17). The earth now wrapped in total darkness, receives the light of the sign of the Son of Man, (Matt. 24:30). Then Christ comes on the clouds and sends His angels to gather together the living survivors after resurrecting the righteous dead, (Matt. 24:31; I Thess. 4:16-17). Finally, at the end of the age, the wrath of God comes upon the wicked, (Rev. 6:17, 8:5), and the gospel of the kingdom of God becomes a present reality as God reigns over the earth.' ____________________ To read more go to: That Other Gospel by Rev.

More Than I Can Handle ____________________ "God makes life work. Formulas don't. Our own efforts don't." ____________________ Myths Christians Believe: God Won't Give Me More Than I Can Handle 'People get baffled and angry when bad things happen, and it just gets worse when God doesn't make the difficult situation go away. We start wondering if God has gone on vacation because we're nearing our breaking point and God isn't stepping in to make things better. 'The problem with this myth is that God is in the business of breaking His people so that we will get to the point of complete dependence on Him. Brokenness is a virtue, not something to be protected from. When the apostle Paul pleaded with God to remove his thorn in the flesh, God said no. Instead, He responded with an amazing promise: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Paul realized that his weakness was the very key to experiencing God's strength and not his own. 'One of my friends ministered as a chaplain at Ground Zero in New York after the Sept. 11 attacks. She got so tired and exhausted that she knew it was more than she could bear. That's when she discovered that her exhaustion took her out of God's way and He could shine through her, ministering with His strength through her profound weakness. 'I love this definition of brokenness: "Brokenness is that place where we realize that all the things we counted on to make life work, don't." God makes life work. Formulas don't. Our own efforts don't. Trustful dependence on Him plugs us into the power source for life. And that often happens when we've crossed over the line of what we can handle on our own.' ____________________ Myths Christians Believe by Sue Bohlin (www.probe.org/docs/xn-myths.html) |

299 | Gods works | John 6:29 | kalos | 175436 | ||
28 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” John 6:28-29 (ESV) Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. James 1:27 (ESV) Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you. Matthew 5:42 (ESV) 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ Matthew 25:37-40 (ESV) 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20 (ESV) |

300 | Man's days limited to 120 years | Gen 6:3 | kalos | 175422 | ||
Genesis 6:3 does not say man's days are limited to 120 years. This is what it says: Genesis 6:3 NET BIBLE So the Lord said, “My spirit will not remain in mankind indefinitely since they are mortal. They will remain for one hundred and twenty more years.”[11] 11 Translators' Note. Heb “his days will be one hundred and twenty years.” Some interpret this to mean that the age expectancy of people from this point on would be one hundred twenty, but neither the subsequent narrative nor reality favors this. It is more likely that this refers to the time remaining between this announcement of judgment and the coming of the flood. (www.bible.org/netbible/index.htm ) As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, (NASB Psalm 90:10a) |
