41 | All nations must firsthear the gospel? | Matt 24:14 | G. Preston | 232287 | ||
It's there. May I suggest this is a good one to search the Scriptures starting with the book of Matthew. While you are locating the info...I assure you much overall knowledge of G-d's word will be received. If you cannot find it.... post and I will look it up. |
||||||
42 | When was the opportune time? | Luke 4:13 | G. Preston | 231715 | ||
It would be helpful if you defined...'opportune time"....for what? | ||||||
43 | how to reachout to gay people with God? | John 10:10 | G. Preston | 231644 | ||
You reach out to them as you would to any other sinner. A sinner is a sinner is a sinner! |

44 | We do what we can and God does what we c | Rom 8:28 | G. Preston | 232179 | ||
G-d knows our efforts and He is in charge of the outcome of any situation. | ||||||
45 | onset of despair in early adulthood | Rom 8:28 | G. Preston | 232181 | ||
We have all experienced despair of some magnitude. That alone does not assist you but, successful removal from the bondage often lies in the experience of others. It can be a challenge/opportunity for one to look inward and examine Christian commitment,life style,overall history and realistic goals. Its' solution most often includes attention to prayer and request to G-d for help. Seeking professional social review of ones challenges may be beneficial. Discussions with your minister and/or a good Christian friend also may be useful tools. It could be helpful to others if you wished to share your efforts and achievements of success from the challenges. |

46 | Is there a bible verse that means this? | Rom 8:28 | G. Preston | 233096 | ||
Not aware of such Bible verse. G-d does have a plan for us...it is called....eternal salvation. Nothing just happens. G-d is in charge of all.... and at all times. |

47 | Is the Jews are the elect people of God | Rom 10:12 | G. Preston | 195642 | ||
Suggest ID #s 1826 and 2970..they have good writings. Enter under ...search...upper right. Proper guidance is not available from Hagee on this one,IMHO. But, suggest we MUST NOT be confused between the Jew of the time of the old covenant and the Jew of today, under the new covenant with Jesus Christ. That is not distinguished in your question. |
||||||
48 | why are some Christians ok with swearing | Rom 12:14 | G. Preston | 232310 | ||
Be careful how you use the word..."Christian". A Christian does not swear. |
||||||
49 | will some of be required to be lighthous | 1 Corinthians | G. Preston | 194932 | ||
While honorable it can't be. If you have repented,baptised you will be taken at the rapture. The two witnesses will be here to full fill scripture for the first 1/2 of the trib period. While hearts will be hardened at the end times..as we see now...some will most likely repent after the rapture occurs. For Christ, Preston |

50 | Can a christian go to hell? | 1 Corinthians | G. Preston | 194957 | ||
No. The operative word is "Christian". I will conclude you are using the word to refer to someone who was a Christian and has fallen away. The answer is "Yes". But, he is not a Christian. This lends itself to the belief by some that..."once saved always saved". A misunderstanding of scripture. To accept that doctrine requires one to set aside the "unforgiveable sin". Which can't be done. Your scripture reference lends itself to the teaching that..."not by works alone"..shall we receive eternal salvation. |
||||||
51 | Christians living together outside of ma | 1 Corinthians | G. Preston | 194969 | ||
The marriage cermony is in itself an act of a type of repentance...from living in sin. G-d forgives..shouldn't we? Scripture teaches to repent and go and sin no more. It also teaches to forgive or G-d will not forgive us of our sins. |

52 | how do iknow if jesus is calling me | 1 Cor 7:9 | G. Preston | 196078 | ||
One should be guided by scripture; Matt 19:12 "For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it." 1 Thess 4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; |

53 | how do iknow if jesus is calling me | 1 Cor 7:9 | G. Preston | 196079 | ||
One should be guided by scripture; Matt 19:12 "For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it." 1 Cor 7:9 But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion. 1 Thess 4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; |

54 | No word like juice at Jesus time? | 1 Cor 11:25 | G. Preston | 233097 | ||
New wine could reflect drink with low alcohol. That correlates with..."no drunkedness"..."hard drink"...which is forbidden. New wine vs old wine is referred to several times in a seemingly guidance manner in the NT. Hebrew I don't recall...but, Greek is... oinos...for wine. |

55 | Differing views to questions ? | 1 Cor 14:33 | G. Preston | 194954 | ||
Jon, An age old (some would call)conondrum. But, I see it as part of G-d's plan. G-d commands that we serve Him in all ways including reading and studying His word. What better way than to have scripture presented thru man in the manner it is, guided by G-d to foster study,debate,discussions,analysis and start all over again. A life long commitment. Therefore, we are to; Pray for guidance. Study scriptures...and study them again. Study all writings available. Discuss meanings of scriptures. To assist in studies I apply the following three rules; 1)Take the Bible literaly where it is at all possible. If typical,figurative or symbolic language is used then look for literal interpretation it intends to convey. 2)Look for scripture which interprets scripture. 3)Do not spiritualize the Bible. We are each assigned the responsibility to reach our own conclusions. There are two scripture references I keep in mind as I pursue studies; 1)..."some things are reserved for Go-d's knowledge only".(Be reminded that... "not even Christ,nor the Angels in Heaven, but, our Father only knows the day and hour of the second coming/advent"....). 2)..."it will be revealed in due course"...based on the covictions of the heart and as the mind is capable of handling the information. One further thought; There are only three things we must know and do to receive eternal salvation; 1)We must repent; 2)We must be baptized and 3)We must live a life according to G-d"s law..the ten commandments. A life of righteousness. (Yes,earning of the five Crowns is greatly indicated. and item three gives us those Crowns). So while we are to pursue understanding in order to properly witness for Christ, we should not get hung up or allow ourselves to wane in our depth of faith when an answer is not immediately clear. For Christ, Preston |

56 | Is it o.k. to drink a glass of wine? | Eph 5:1 | G. Preston | 230132 | ||
The Bible does not prohibit a glass of wine. But,not to drunkedness and not if you are a leader in the Church, then the answer is no. Don't interpret that to mean a hard drink, that is prohibited. There are other references. |
||||||
57 | Polygamy | Eph 5:22 | G. Preston | 195383 | ||
Jon, Sin is detestable in G-d's eyes and not "permitted". Substituting the word "permit" with the word "tolerate",will allow me to say,perhaps, but,only to a point. Scripture strongly indicates, He will react to it. We must be careful of embracing His forgiveness and then charging Him with permitting (as in... with permission) sin to occur. Practices under the old covenant are addressed by example with scripture, thusly; KJV (concerning divorce)Matt 19;8, "He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so". Scripture gives us many examples of how to live our lives. The above scripture is not contraindicated as applied to polygamy. Therefore, I do not believe G-d endorsed or ..."winked"..at the practice.(.."one of those things He winked at"..!!!) What other items might you be referring? I do not believe nor am I aware that scripture suggests G-d has an ..."imperfect" will. |

58 | left behind/rapture | 1 Thessalonians | G. Preston | 231652 | ||
"Rapture".... is man's reference word to capture the Bible wording of...'being taken up'. If I underdstand your writing correctly...you have it reversed. The ones being taken up(Raptured) are the sleeping(dead)and live repented/Baptised and righteous members of God's body of followers....often referred to as the ..."Philadelphia Church". According to scriptures those left behind will go through the tribulation period. |

59 | Is fingering before marriage a sin? | 1 Thess 4:3 | G. Preston | 196075 | ||
Scripture teaches us to avoid temptation. There are many references in the Bible of the effect upon us. Here are a few references which provide guidance in understanding and dealing with temptation; James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. Matt 26:41 "Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." Luke 22:40 When He arrived at the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation." Luke 8:13 "Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away. Luke 22:46 and said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not enter into temptation." The Bible teaches restraint. Knowing we will be tempted, study scriptures, pray and pray again. |
