321 | Heaven and followers of God before Chris | Heb 11:2 | BradK | 226904 | ||
Hello anne marie H, Allow me to repost #226263 in answer: "The 11th chapter of Hebrews provides the answer to what happened to the people who believed in God?: Heb 11:13 "All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth." (NASB) cf. 11:39-40 What qualified them to go?: Their faith! Heb. 11:1-2 tells us, "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval." Where are they now? They are in living in the fellowship and presence of God." I hope this helps, |

322 | what is the subject of the four gospels? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 226819 | ||
Hello dada81, Have you read each of the 4 Gospels? I'd start there. This sounds like a homework question? "Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth."

323 | World Peace? | Is 9:6 | BradK | 226806 | ||
Hello Lovemylord, 2 scriptures come to mind: Is 9:6 "For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace." (NASB) Eph 2:14 "For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall," There will be no true, lasting world peace until the Son of Man returns!

324 | Is common law marriage acceptable | Heb 13:4 | BradK | 226796 | ||
Hello always, I believe I've given what God considers marriage? As Eastons' notes, marriage "was instituted in Paradise when man was in innocence (Gen. 2:18–24). Here we have its original charter, which was confirmed by our Lord, as the basis on which all regulations are to be framed (Matt. 19:4, 5). It is evident that monogamy was the original law of marriage (Matt. 19:5; 1 Cor. 6:16). This law was violated in after times, when corrupt usages began to be introduced (Gen. 4:19; 6:2)." In my state, Washington common law marriages are recognized but not officially established. Whether it's legal or not will depend up your states laws. "Common law marriage" is based on the parties’ agreement to consider themselves married and sometimes also on their cohabitation. This is not how God defines marriage is it? Keep in mind, man is always attemting to justify his sinful behavior and excuse it. (Jer. 17:9) What man legislates and sanctions and what God establishes as moral are often two very different things! I simply see no support for common law marriage within scripture.

326 | Is common law marriage acceptable | Heb 13:4 | BradK | 226774 | ||
Hello always, Welcome to the Forum. I honestly don't see "common law marriage" being acceptable or otherwise supported by scripture. It's like playing house without any commitment before God or men! If Heb. 13:4 is any guide, we don't see it here: "Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge." (NASB) This doesn't refer to "common law marriage" but rather a union between man and woman! Further, Eph. 5:24 says, "But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything." (NASB) cf. 5:22. The biblical directive here is to "wives" and "husbands" One cannot be referred to as such without being officially married, can they? Possibly, Naves Topical Bible may be of some help (or use) in studying this? Here's the section from it titled, MARRIAGE. In family blood lines, Abraham and Sarah, Gen. 11:29; 12:13; 20:3, 9–16.

327 | Were Adam and Eve changed from Spiritual | Gen 3:21 | BradK | 226741 | ||
Hello TLWTay, Scripture simply says, in Gen. 3:21 "The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them." (NASB) the Commentary CriticaL observes, "21. God made coats of skins—taught them to make these for themselves. This implies the institution of animal sacrifice, which was undoubtedly of divine appointment, and instruction in the only acceptable mode of worship for sinful creatures, through faith in a Redeemer (Heb 9:22)." To say, "that their Spiritual beings were "covered' with flesh and that they were now BOUND to this physical life ???" would be to allegorize and go beyond the direct warrant of the text! I hope this helps, BradK |

329 | The gift of tongues | Eph 1:1 | BradK | 226696 | ||
Hello Crys, Let me give you a brief rebuttal: 1. The rest of scipture does not support you pastor's claim; Eph 1:13 clearly tells us, "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise" (NASB) 2. What of 1 Cor. 12:30? Here it states "All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they?" The Greek demands a negative answer, so no, not all (of us) are or will speak in tongues! I would much rather that someone exhibit "Love" than the gifts of tongues.. (cf 12:31, 13:1-4) I believe this to be Paul's point in 1 Cor. 12-14! 3. Gal. 5:22-23 is explicit: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." These are characteristices 'of the Spirit', they do not emanate from us or apart from "the Spirit" So one must have the Spirit to evidence these! 4. Using Acts 1 and 2 to support this notion is poor hermeneutics to say the least. Acts is a historical narrative in it's purpose, not a doctrinal book. Otherwise we should also support doctrines such as raising the dead, etc! While this may be a pet doctrine of your pastor and/or his denomination, it's short on solid historical biblical basis. He is simply not correct. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

331 | How can you tell if a prophet is true? | 1 John 4:1 | BradK | 226655 | ||
Hello kimeaux, There's simply no way to fully discern what you're relating from the details you've provided! It certainly sounds manipulative. The Word of God should be your source of guideance, not a man- or a supposed "prophet"! You should seek the counsel of and be directed by His Word, you don't need a so-called prophet to tell you these things! Notice Deuteronomy 18: Deut 18:20 'But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.' Deut 18:21 "You may say in your heart, 'How will we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?' Deut 18:22 "When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

332 | the world see's 3 raised from the dead | Rev 11:11 | BradK | 226629 | ||
Heelo Legs, I believe you may be referring to the 2 witnesses in Rev. 11? Clearly it's not the anti christ who raises them here, but God. Rev 11:8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. Rev 11:9 Those from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not permit their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. Rev 11:10 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. Rev 11:11 But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were watching them. I hope this helps, BradK |
