41 | Why was being born a Jew so important? | Bible general Archive 4 | Val | 214383 | ||
Dear Humility, this question reminds me of why it is important to read the whole counsel of scriputure. In Genesis you will find the redemption plan of God. Be sure and mark all the references to Abraham, who he was, where he was and what was promised him. As you read through the entire counsel of God you will see this redemption plan unfold. If you desire their is a precept upon precept bible study called Covenant which may be purchased at Precept.org. This study pulls the whole scripture together. Sincerely, Val | ||||||
42 | Salvation for the Gentiles | Bible general Archive 4 | Val | 219632 | ||
God from the beginning offered salvation to the gentiles. We see this in the third chapter of Genesis. Abel was righteous, Cain was not. As time went on all mankind became exceedingly wicked except for Noah found in Genesis the sixth chapter. Thus the flood came and mankind began again with Noah and his three sons. Salvation means believing God. In the old testament people were saved by looking forward to the birth of Christ. In the present people are saved by looking back to the cross. Mankind has always had an opportunity to believe in the one true God. In the new testament we see the first gentile convert is Cornelius. You can find this in the book of Acts. Before that time people became what we call proselytes to the Jewish faith in Jehovah God. Christ broke down that dividing wall. | ||||||
43 | Who are GOD's chosen people? | Bible general Archive 4 | Val | 219667 | ||
I am not sure I understand your question. The Jews are God's chosen people. They had a specific purpose in God's plan and still do. Chosen for salvation is a topic completely different. It depends on what perspective your question comes from. You are correct God called Abram out of the land of Ur and then his descendant Jacob's name was changed to Israel of which we call them Israelites. They are called Jews in the New Testament. | ||||||
44 | removal of Holy Spirit | Bible general Archive 4 | Val | 221962 | ||
The great tribulation is a time of testing for the nation of Israel. God's Holy Spirit indwells believers. The church will be raptured and the believers are taken home. It is their influence that will be gone during the great tribulation. However, as people (Israel) turn to the Lord in repentance they are sealed with the Holy Spirit. See Revelation 7:4. There are signs and wonders that occur that point them to God. The events of nature point to God. It is through these things that people seek God. One example may be the events after 9/11. People everywhere were looking to God. You saw people going to church in large numbers. You saw advertising signs quoting bible verses. This is an example of how when we cannot help ourselves and are helpless we turn to the only one who can help us - the Lord and Creator of our souls. There is an excellent study on biblical prophecy by Precept Ministries International you may check out. | ||||||
45 | Recognize loved ones in heaven | Bible general Archive 3 | Val | 190859 | ||
Matthew 28:5-10 And the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. "And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going before you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you." And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples. And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they shall see Me." NASB Mark 16:19 "So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God." NASB Philippians 3:20-21 "For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself." NASB Colossians 1:12-20 "...giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. For He delivered us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. And He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authories - all things have been created by Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the first-born from the dead; so that He Himself might come to have first place in everything. For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fulness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven." NASB |

47 | Saved by hearing a true Christian? | Bible general Archive 3 | Val | 190881 | ||
The book of Romans says that evidence of a Creator is evident in His creation Romans 1:16-20 He also has put within man an internal knowledge of Him Romans 1:19 The way to test the spirits is in 1 John 4:1-3 "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God: and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world." NASB |

48 | Keep the Sabbath Holy? | Bible general Archive 3 | Val | 191012 | ||
I am currently studying Hebrews and will let you know what I find out about the Sabbath. We do word studies and cross references and it should be an interesting study. I have learned to look up every mention of the word and its synonyms in a concordance which gives the verses, then to look at how the word is used in those verses in their context. It is so exciting to find people who want to search out the scriptures and learn for themselves as the Holy Spirit teaches us. Grace and peace to you in the Father and His beloved Son Jesus Christ our Lord. May you grow in the grace and knowledge of Him. | ||||||
49 | Psalm 20:1-4 | Bible general Archive 3 | Val | 192053 | ||
Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer. Ps 20:5 We will sing for joy over your victory, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners. May the LORD fulfill all your petitions. Ps 20:6 Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven With the saving strength of His right hand. Ps 20:7 Some boast in chariots and some in horses, But we will boast in the name of the LORD, our God. Ps 20:8 They have bowed down and fallen, But we have risen and stood upright. Ps 20:9 Save, O LORD; May the King answer us in the day we call. |

51 | how tall are angels | Bible general Archive 3 | Val | 192261 | ||
2 Kin 19:35 Then it happened that night that the angel of the LORD went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when men rose early in the morning, behold, all of them were dead. 2 Is 37:36 Then the angel of the LORD went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, all of these were dead. These verses show that one angel killed 185,000. This shows the power of one angel. |

52 | Is capital punishment Biblical? | Bible general Archive 3 | Val | 192738 | ||
(These verses address that topic:) Num 35:30 'If anyone kills a person, the murderer shall be put to death at the evidence of witnesses, but no person shall be put to death on the testimony of one witness. 2 Deut 17:6 "On the evidence of two witnesses or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death; he shall not be put to death on the evidence of one witness. 3 Deut 17:7 "The hand of the witnesses shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So you shall purge the evil from your midst. 4 Deut 19:15 "A single witness shall not rise up against a man on account of any iniquity or any sin which he has committed; on the evidence of two or three witnesses a matter shall be confirmed. (In our day with the technology of DNA and fingerprints, etc. that is even better than eye witness testimony-something to consider) (A word study on Justice and Lawlessness, the poor and the widow also sheds light on what the Lord requires of us) |

55 | what to say to someone who doesnt believ | Bible general Archive 3 | Val | 194003 | ||
Lynda, if your friend is being affected by the negative and painful, it may be time for her to change occupations. Her mental health may be affected. Few people could work in a job like that. It takes a special type of person. Also if she has been in it too long, it may be time for a change of job. You can show her God's love and assure her that God loved her so much He gave His only Son to die in her place that she might have eternal life. Perhaps you might lift her up in prayer on a regular basis. Hope this helps. | ||||||
56 | Exodus - laws leaders must follow | OT general | Val | 202258 | ||
There are places in the bible where it talks about money. Being rich is not what is condemned but how you get the riches. There are two types of rich people. The godly rich and the wicked rich. Some positions provide temptations to get rich because of their influence in different areas so it is probably a hazard for some one easily swayed by the love of money. Again, it is how one receives their riches. If they do not obey the Lord's laws and the laws of the country, and they administer justice and share with the poor, that is a good thing. If they obtain their riches at the expense of others, disobey the word of the Lord and break the law then that is not good. The book of James talks alot about the rich man. | ||||||

59 | Love for all, judge not anyone | OT general | Val | 213119 | ||
Dear Kamschoolgrad, I agree with Brother Tim Moran's answer to you. Of utmost importance when reading the bible is to ask who, what, when, where, why and how questions. There are 66 books of the bible. Mr. Smith picked out verses that went along with his line of thinking about a particular topic. He confesses that he is not a believer. There is a verse in Corinthians that says "1 Cor 1:18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." Also we are to be discernable as to who to witness to and not to witness to. We are warned not to cast our pearls before swine in Matt 7:6 "Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." Understanding the verses this person has cited would require you to do a book study on each book where the verses are found so that you yourself might fully understand the topic. There is a culture war going on in our country, the world for the most part. I don't know if your time would be well spent trying to teach the bible to an unbeliever. That is something you will have to seek the Lord for guidance. In the meantime you might study these topics to aid your understanding; old covenant, new covenant, the book of Leviticus and the book of Hebrews. Precept.org has an excellent topical study on "Covenant". It goes over all the covenants in the bible and how they tie together. Excellent. It is a great help. Holding to Him - Val |
