381 | was paul married? | NT general Archive 1 | jlpangilinan | 52877 | ||
I dont know why you participated here in the forum and the same time entertained the gossip such as Paul was a gay! Never in the bible that mentioned that Paul was a gay. You and the article accsuing the man of God of being a gay! It is a very disappointing! Paul is a Man of God, I dont think that Christ will choose an gay apostle! I am shock that you bought that kind of circumstancial case without any evidence. For your information, Paul never married, but never a gay! I will put some personal information about Him according to the bible: Paul was born about the same time as our Lord. His circumcision-name was Saul, and probably the name Paul was also given to him in infancy "for use in the Gentile world," as "Saul" would be his Hebrew home-name. He was a native of Tarsus, the capital of Cilicia, a Roman province in the south-east of Asia Minor. That city stood on the banks of the river Cydnus, which was navigable thus far; hence it became a centre of extensive commercial traffic with many countries along the shores of the Mediterranean, as well as with the countries of central Asia Minor. It thus became a city distinguished for the wealth of its inhabitants. Tarsus was also the seat of a famous university, higher in reputation even than the universities of Athens and Alexandria, the only others that then existed. Here Saul was born, and here he spent his youth, doubtless enjoying the best education his native city could afford. His father was of the straitest sect of the Jews, a Pharisee, of the tribe of Benjamin, of pure and unmixed Jewish blood (Ac 23:6; Php 3:5). We learn nothing regarding his mother; but there is reason to conclude that she was a pious woman, and that, like-minded with her husband, she exercised all a mother influence in moulding the character of her son, so that he could afterwards speak of himself as being, from his youth up, "touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless" (Php 3:6). We read of his sister and his sister's son (Ac 23:16), and of other relatives (Ro 16:7,11-12). Though a Jew, his father was a Roman citizen. How he obtained this privilege we are not informed. "It might be bought, or won by distinguished service to the state, or acquired in several other ways; at all events, his son was freeborn. It was a valuable privilege, and one that was to prove of great use to Paul, although not in the way in which his father might have been expected to desire him to make use of it." Perhaps the most natural career for the youth to follow was that of a merchant. "But it was decided that...he should go to college and become a rabbi, that is, a minister, a teacher, and a lawyer all in one." According to Jewish custom, however, he learned a trade before entering on the more direct preparation for the sacred profession. The trade he acquired was the making of tents from goats' hair cloth, a trade which was one of the commonest in Tarsus. His preliminary education having been completed, Saul was sent, when about thirteen years of age probably, to the great Jewish school of sacred learning at Jerusalem as a student of the law. Here he became a pupil of the celebrated rabbi Gamaliel, and here he spent many years in an elaborate study of the Scriptures and of the many questions concerning them with which the rabbis exercised themselves. During these years of diligent study he lived "in all good conscience," unstained by the vices of that great city. |

382 | How does God say that we rob him? | Mal 3:9 | jlpangilinan | 52459 | ||
Can you please prove to me that the ten percent is teaching of Christ. Ten percent is including in the law of moses and it cannot justified us.

383 | If a wife is treated cruel can she divor | Bible general Archive 1 | jlpangilinan | 52277 | ||
Where in the teaching of Christ that divorce is ok except it be for fornication? Mt 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

384 | Is baptism required for salvation? | John 3:5 | jlpangilinan | 52261 | ||
I dont said that baptism in the water will save you but you have to obey it because it is part of the commandment of Christ. Kindly take a look again part of my statement: If you have the time to obey it please do. Baptism in water cannot save you, it is your faith and grace of Christ. Baptism in the water is a church ceremony but it is important because as Jesus said in John 3:5 Now if you dont obey it, it is not my problem it yours. Christ is the one responsible of saying this in John 3:5 not me. God bless, Johnny |

385 | Is baptism required for salvation? | John 3:5 | jlpangilinan | 52168 | ||
I dont know if you disagree with or what kindly read my post again before commenting to it Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. If you have the time to obey it please do. Baptism in water cannot save you, it is your faith and grace of Christ. Baptism in the water is a church ceremony but it is important because as Jesus said in John 3:5 If you really to obey Christ obey His command, because I dont believe as a follower of Him you will disobey His command such as John 3:5 Lu 23:41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. Lu 23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. Situation of the saving in the cross is different matter, in that situation they have no time for fulfilling baptism, but how many times that will happen in physical? It happen once Jesus Christ crussified just once. In our situation we have a lot of time to fulfill baptism if you can do it why not. God bless, Johnny |

Sorry my friend you terribly wrong. Kindly read it from 18:10 and you will find who said that statement. Please be careful of reading the bible. Lu 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. Lu 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. Lu 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. Lu 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. Lu 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. Jesus is God He never give 10 percent of his income. |

It seems that you always quoted verses in the old testament. You get the example of levites, and the examples of tithing. My questions remain the same, we know that in the old testament it is in the law that they can take the tithe from the people of israel. But in the new testament there are no teaching of Christ that will require us to give tithes (ten percent) or getting salaries for the pastors. Can you give me the verses that will stated that tithes (ten percent)is included in the teaching of Chirst. If we continue part of the law which is tithe (that will become a salary of the pastors) we must do everything including in the law, we have to be consistent otherwise we are the same with the scribes: Mt 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. The teaching of Christ about offering is: 2Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. If you are ready to do the things that you quoted in the old testament you must do everything included in the law of moses to be consistent. why it is only the tithe is the most special and we cannot exclude it. Why you are ready to exclude other law of moses i.e., cirscumcisations, sabbath, and other things including to it. Did you eat pork and other food that required not to eat by the law of moses? A tenth for the levites, they have all the authority given to them, why question to you is are the pastors today are children of levites? are they given authority to collect the ten percent of their members? Heb 7:5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: Are they pastors sons of levi?

Yes, but I am not a pastor. Being a pastor is different, it is not an ordinary job that is why I am asking if there is any apostle that getting there salary in return of thier teaching about christ. I gave many example in my previous note, and with all due respect you just ignore it and put a verse too far from my request which is in the time of Christ. Just give me the name of apostle that get thier salaries in return of thier evangelical mission and i will agree with you that getting salary of the pastors is a teaching of Christ. I gave the example of paul, being a tentmaker. For your information, our workers in church did not get thier salary from the people they have thier own job aside from being workers of the church. Because we believed that freely receieved, freely give. Just show me that getting salary for the pastor is teaching of Christ, show me the verses and the names of the apostle that receieved thier salary in return of their evangelical mission. God bless, Johnny |

Are you saying that it is ok to a pastors to get his living from his members? Can you please show me in the scriptures that it is ok to Jesus Christ that His apostle will get salary from thier people? Can you show me that getting salary is part of the teaching of Christ? Can you show me the passages that will stated that one of the desciples get salary when they are teaching. What Jesus Christ taught to them is freely received freely give. Did Christ allow that they will get their salaries? Mt 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Paul said that he is not burdensome to his people. Meaning He did not get salaries from his people: 2Co 12:14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. In order to earn his living, Paul has to work for himself and not to get salaries. Ac 18:3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. Pastors that getting salaries is not that really devoted to what he is doing but use the word of God to earn a living for himself. God bless, Johnny |

390 | Can a person ever loose his salvation? | Hebrews | jlpangilinan | 51478 | ||
Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, Hank it is very clear that it was written there, I cannot change it. Once save is always save is not found word by word in the bible, just a speculation. Did Christ say that once save is always save. It is very hard to believed that people once receieve a salvation then go back to his old life (killing for example) then rape again and again and remain save? I dont believed that God consent that kind of person. Are going to tell me that if I going to kill somebody right now because I hate him I still remain save? after that I am going to rape my neighboors wife then I am still save? What Jesus really says is: Mt 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. We have to be with Him until the end, not a matter of month days of years but He said until the end. God bless, Johnny |

If you have doubt in your own denomination why you still there you should find the one that you have no doubt and there is no falsehoods of thier own. I do believed that when the apostle continue following Christ they have no doubt that Christ is the truth and the life, and they are in the right church. Do you think it is not bad to have doubt to your own group? How can you teach accurately your doctrines if you himself is not 100 percent sure that your teaching is true? God bless Johnny |

You should post your note to me to a primary, so catholics in this forum would read your point, me myself is not a catholic, that is why I put "in principle" in my comments about catholic. I dont want to judge them because they believed mostly is doctrines of man (not in scriptures) Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. I leave it to God to judge everyone of us! God bless, Johnny |

What I mean of God can justify the destiny of Judas is of where judas right now! I did not mean that God "justified judas to go to hell" but He knows where judas now. And it is God can judge what judas done, not you, not me but God. God bless, Johnny |

394 | "need" for baptiam | Bible general Archive 1 | jlpangilinan | 50664 | ||
The thief really in the cross was not baptized. I would like to answer the subject "need baptism" did your pastor baptized you anyway? Baptism cannot save us, but if you really want to accept Christ in your heart as your personal savior, do you think it is hard to follow baptism which is included in the teaching of Chirst?: Mt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: It is a matter if obeying your master which is Christ. The thief in the cross is different matter as we have today. How many time Christ crusified and saves in the cross? He crossified once in Golgota, at the time there is not time for baptism in water they are both crusified there to death. If they have time, or if the time knew Christ before that day of thier crossifiction I am sure that thief will obey baptism in water in order to obey his Lord. If you cannot obey baptism in the water which is very simple to do, what else you cannot do to obey Christ? And if dont obey this simple task as a christian, I dont believed that you are saved. God bless, Johnny |

395 | after death, right then, what? | Bible general Archive 1 | jlpangilinan | 47396 | ||
In genesis when God talk to adam He did not specify to adam which part of adam will go back to dust, what we have is conclusions. You did not answers my questions clearly about the punishment that adam did not know, and even moses did not taught to Israel that they soul has destiny heaven, or hell. lets consider them that they go to hell do you think it is not unjust to bring soul of anyone to the punishment that he dont have any idea? God bless, Johnny |

396 | after death, right then, what? | Bible general Archive 1 | jlpangilinan | 46937 | ||
I agree with you that there are religions that taught that the hell is just a grave and not an everlasting fire. But can you explain these verse: Ge 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Here God mentioned to adam that when he die he will go back to dust, there is no anything mentioned here about heaven nor hell. If we use some logic, granting that adam will go to hell, do you think it is not unjust to bring the soul of anyone to the punishment that he had no idea? God did not mentioned to adam that if he will not obey God he will go to hell or go to heaven if he obey. The original plan really to adam and eve is to stay in eden forever and ever. Did God change that plan? Even moises in his teaching he never mentioned to the isralites that thier soul has destination heaven or hell. Do you think it is not unjust to them if someone go to hell, they have no idea about those punishment! Kindly explain my points, God bless, Johnny |

397 | after death, right then, what? | Bible general Archive 1 | jlpangilinan | 46935 | ||
You quoted these verses: See this concept is carried over by the words of Christ and Paul when it is mentioned again... John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Before the ascension of Christ no man had access to go to heaven when they died. They were held in Abrahams Bosom or Paradise, if they were righteous, then when Christ ascended and made the way..then men went up in his train. Now we also go there. Where in that verses mentioned that after the death of Christ in the cross died people can go to heaven directly? You are using to much conclusion there or you speculate things that is not written. Christ mention My God and your God that is true but it is not mean it change the statement of John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. God bless, Johnny |

I asked to prove it with passages support, what is wrong with that. This is a bible forum it is not enough that you will argue with me with your word and not coming from the scriptures. When someone said yes you have to explain why it yes, then if you have the proof that the only time that we believed to the statement from both side. Dont expect me to believed in everything mentioned here in the forum without support. God bless, Johnny |

What do you mean is after death we are going to heaven even before the second judgement which is the second coming of Jesus Christ? How about this verse how could you explain it if you are believing that man after dies will go to heaven. Joh 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. God bless, Johnny |
