362 | Paul's missionary work created a contove | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 220758 | ||
Hello Sunshyne34, This sounds like a homework or test question? My recommendation would be to read the Book of Acts and Paul's Epistles. This should then provide you with an answer:-) "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."

363 | creation | Gen 2:2 | BradK | 220726 | ||
Hello jacobp, Gen. 2:2 reads, "By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done." (NASB) I believe scripture to be quite literal in It's account of creation being 7 days. "The word "day" may refer to a prolonged period when used without any qualifying words. But when qualified with a numerical, it is defined and limited by it to a day of 24 hours. In 1:5 it is further limited here by it;s boundaries "evening and morning" as well as by the 7th day." [The Companion Bible] "Theistic evolution" is not taught nor supported by scripture. I hope this helps, BradK |

365 | Luke 12:10 | Matt 12:31 | BradK | 220563 | ||
Hello Aileen, You can also find parallel accounts in Matt. 12:31-32 and Mark 3:28-29. Essentially, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is rejection or unbelief. One who refuses to believe cannot be forgiven. So, the "unpardonable sin" would be refusal to believe in the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. I hope this helps, BradK |

366 | is it necessary to empty the mind? | Phil 4:8 | BradK | 220387 | ||
Hello vnct, It would partially depend upon how you define "empty the mind". However, nowhere does scripture instruct us to do this! Again, read Rom. 12:1-2 "Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect" (NASB) We are to be "transformed by the renewing of (y)our mind", not transformed by the emptying of our mind! This is an important distinction! We "renew" our minds by the reading, studying, and prayerful meditation upon God's Word. Heb 4:12 states, "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." God's Word has power and can effectively transform us as we dwell upon it. As Paul writes in Col. 3:16, "Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you...". We replace the negative thoughts and influence of the world as God's Word indwells us. The Psalmist tells us, "The unfolding of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.", "My eyes anticipate the night watches, That I may meditate on Your word." (Ps. 119:130,148) I trust this will further clarify things for you. BradK |

367 | should i meditate? | Phil 4:8 | BradK | 220371 | ||
Hello vnct, Welcome to the Forum. Here's brief answer with a few pertinent scriptures. You ask, "what's the difference between good and bad meditation". Basically, the object of our meditation. In other words, it's what we meditate upon that determines if it's good or bad! Paul instructs us in Phil. 4:8, "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on (meditate on) these things." (NASB) Notice Josh 1:8, "This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success." The object (book of the law) is the Word of God! Then in Romans 12:1-2 we have: "Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect." Meditation seeks to influence the mind. So, what we meditate upon is important- particularly if we are to be 'transformed by the renewing of our mind'. This can only be done (properly) by meditating upon God's Word. I hope this helps:-) BradK |

371 | who has overcome the wicked one | John 16:33 | BradK | 220292 | ||
Hello OneofHisOwn, Welcome to the Forum. In answer, the Lord Jesus Christ has overcome the wicked one! John 16:33 "These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." (NASB) Rev 17:14 "These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful." (NASB) I hope this helps, BradK |

Then you should be able to summarize consistently in these messages. You should also be able to answer in "what ways has the church's preaching today remained faithful to or departed from that basic message"? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello cleaven, In Eph. 4:8, Paul is speaking about unity in the Body of Christ. He's simply quoting (using) Psalm 68:18 in that context- "You have ascended on high, You have led captive Your captives; You have received gifts among men, Even among the rebellious also, that the LORD God may dwell there" (NASB) I hope this helps, BradK |

Hello andy, Your question really reads like it's homework or a test?! 1. Have you read Acts 1-12?; 2. If not, my suggestion would be to read, re-read, and meditate upon Acts 1-12. After doing that, you should be able to easily answer on your own:-) "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."
