41 | Where are the Bible heroes since death? | John 13:33 | 00123 | 232736 | ||
Ed, Three things on your writing: (1) John 13 is Jesus' farewell message to his own inner disciples, not the Jews in general. Jesus is saying not only the Jews but you either cannot come to the Heaven. (2) "come" is not the same as "follow." Come refers to a place but follow, a path. (3) You argue as soon as believers die they go to God. But what do you think John 1:18 No man has ever seen God at any time? I wonder what happened to Abraham, Enoch, Noah, Moses, Jacob, Joseph, David, and all other heroes of faith who died. They obviously didn't see God yet. Where are they since death? Dan |

42 | 2,000 years not enough to "know" God? | John 13:33 | 00123 | 232755 | ||
Ed., So, why do you say "see" means "know" in John 1:18? In the Bible, the word "see" (Strong 3708) was never used in a meaning of other than "see with eyes." horaô; a prim. vb.; to see, perceive, attend to:--appear(2), appeared(21), appearing(1), behold(3), beware(1), certainly seen(1), do(2), look(5), look after(1), looked(12), perceive(3), recognizing(1), saw(180), see(129), seeing(20), seen(63), seen...see(1), sees(2), suffer(1), undergo(3), underwent(1), watch(2), witnessed(1). Here one question is that if, as you said, a believer went up to the Lord immediately after death, the Bible heroes before Jesus saw God minimally for 2,012 years. If "see" means "know" in John 1:18, is that 2,000 or more years not enough to "know" God? Of course, I admit God is such an amazing being, but my point is face-to-face fellowship with God over 2,000 years must be qualified to say we "know" God rather than we just "saw" God. Dan |

43 | Why John, not Jesus' borthers? | John 19:27 | 00123 | 226691 | ||
Why did Jesus ask John to care of Mary? What happened to Mary's other children? Caring mother is own children's responsibility, isn't it? | ||||||
44 | Paradise vs. Heaven | John 20:17 | 00123 | 224633 | ||
Luke 23:43 And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” According to this verse, Jesus, after the cruxifiction, went to Paradise. My question is, If the Paradise is in the heaven, how can Jesus say “I have not yet ascended to the Father” (Jn 20:17)? Which one is He meaning in the verse? (1) He did in fact ascended to the Father in the Paradise between the death and the resurrection, but not permanently or officially yet. (2) The Paradise is not in the heaven. Not God but Abraham is living there (Luke 16). (3) Or something else? |
||||||
45 | Isn't Paradise the Heaven? | John 20:17 | 00123 | 241474 | ||
In Luke 23:43 Jesus tells a thief on the cross that they would be in Paradise on that day. But in this verse Jesus says he has not ascended to Father yet. Then, isn't Paradise the Heaven? Where was Jesus between the death and the resurrection? | ||||||
46 | Jesus went to God immediately? | John 20:17 | 00123 | 241480 | ||
Your second sentence has no biblical ground but sounds like your own wishes. Speak by the Word plz. Anyhow, are you saying that Jesus went to God Father immediately upon His death? | ||||||
47 | About the Kingdom of God for 40 days | Acts 1:3 | 00123 | 224953 | ||
Two questions. (1) What are the things Jesus talked to disciples concerning the kingdom of God? (2) Jesus talked about them for forty days (a long period of time). But why doesn't the New Testament have the details? Thank you in advance. God bless! | ||||||
48 | Why were the Hellenistic widows ignored? | Acts 6:1 | 00123 | 232493 | ||
Why were the Hellenistic widows ignored? Was that a language barrier or a minority discrimination? | ||||||
49 | Why not having a WEEKLY communion? | Acts 20:7 | 00123 | 232800 | ||
"On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread." The early church had a communion every Lord's Day (once a week). The communion was both the Lord's Supper and common regular meals. Why does the modern church not follow the tradition? Why do we just meet and worship and leave, not eating together, on the Lord's Day? By not eating together (we do ceremonial communions a few times a year or not more than once a month, which are not food at all to quench the hunger), our Christian fellowship seems to be weakened: we do not know one another and. |

50 | Who was Christ in 1 Cor 1:12? | 1 Cor 1:12 | 00123 | 232572 | ||
Who was Christ in the verse: our Lord Jesus Christ or some church leader named so? | ||||||
51 | What liquid was in the communion cup? | 1 Cor 11:25 | 00123 | 232983 | ||
I wonder what the early church drank in the communion. I always thought they drank wine, but when I read the Bible, surprisingly, I couldn't see any one verse supporting it. In fact, there was no mention on what liquid was in the cup. So, my question is what they drank in the cup: red wine (alcohol), grape juice (like today in most churches), water, or what? By the way, I couldn't find a verse that Jesus our Lord actually did drink wine. | ||||||
52 | Did Jesus and early church drink wine? | 1 Cor 11:25 | 00123 | 232988 | ||
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When either a man or a woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to the LORD, he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall drink no vinegar made from wine or strong drink and shall not drink any juice of grapes or eat grapes, fresh or dried. All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, not even the seeds or the skins. (Numbers 6:1-4 ESV) Nazirites didn't drink wine at all, which is an example there were people who never drank alcohol in their life. Then, what is the biblical (not customs) basis that we should assume that Jesus, who came on earth with a mission of more importance than that of Nazirite, drank wine and that early church believers drank wine in the communion, when no Bible verse specifically indicated so? |
||||||
53 | No word like juice at Jesus time? | 1 Cor 11:25 | 00123 | 233040 | ||
That's quite interesting: wine in "new wine" actually refers to grape juice. Is that because Israelites of Jesus time didn't have the word juice? Did they call everything made of grapes (fermented or not) wine? If so, wine was either alcohol or juice, right? | ||||||
54 | Our eternal house in the heavens | 2 Cor 5:1 | 00123 | 188657 | ||
What will our eternal house in the heavens look (or feel) like? How different would it be from our earthly body? | ||||||
55 | The dead goes to heaven or sleeps? | 2 Cor 5:8 | 00123 | 226992 | ||
In the funeral, pastor usually says that the dead went to the heaven. What is the biblical basis of this argument? Isn't the Bible saying that the dead sleeps, waiting for resurrection, which takes place at Christ's coming? | ||||||
56 | Any other verses on Going to Heaven? | 2 Cor 5:8 | 00123 | 227012 | ||
Well, Acts 7:59 you cited "Lord Jesus receive my spirit" was the same as what Jesus said on cross, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" And Jesus went to Paradise with one of the two on the cross. But the Paradise in that context cannot be Heaven because right after His resurrection Jesus said, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father." In addition, does Philippians 1:21-26 you cited apply to "every" good Christian or just Paul? Paul went to the third heaven (where probably God lives; 2 Corinthians 12:2) and it was an experience only Paul was allowed to have in the Bible, except for Enoch and Elijah. So, my question is, are there any other Bible verses that support that when good believers die their souls go to heaven, not wait for resurrection somewhere staying on the earth (like Paradise where Jesus went)? |
||||||
57 | Current Location of Dead Christians | 2 Cor 5:10 | 00123 | 230518 | ||
2 Cor 5:10 says "We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ." "All" in that verse refers to both dead and living people. My question is where the dead people, especially believers, wait before appearing the judgment seat of Christ? Verse 8 reads, "We would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord." Does this verse imply that when we die we immediately fly to the Heaven where our Lord dwells? If so, why do they need any resurrection? But the Bible says, "Each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ" (1 Corinthians 15:23). This verse implies the dead Christians are not yet with the Lord because they must wait for their resurrection. Note that Jesus, until resurrected, didn't go to God the Father yet. In conclusion, when we die, where are we going? Is it wrong to say that in a funeral the dead person is already in the heaven? | ||||||
58 | Paradise and the Kingdom of Heaven | 2 Cor 12:4 | 00123 | 225553 | ||
Two questions. (1) Is this Paradise the same as both ones in Luke 23:43 (And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.") and Rev 2:7 ('He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.')? (2) Is the Paradise the same as the Kingdom of Heaven? Thank you. God bless! | ||||||
59 | Our citizenship is in heaven? | Phil 3:20 | 00123 | 240099 | ||
"Our citizenship is in heaven." Two questions: (1) Does it mean we will live ultimately in heaven? (2) Is the heaven the same place where Paul was caught up? (2 Corinthians 12:2) |
||||||
60 | If "heaven" is a metaphor | Phil 3:20 | 00123 | 240101 | ||
Thanks, Doc. A followup question, if "heaven" is a metaphor as you said, where are our eternal dwelling PHYSICALLY, which are in "the city that has foundations" (Hebrews 11:9-10) and has "the tree of life" (Revelation 22:1-8)? | ||||||
