41 | intercouse with wife | Prov 5:18 | Vintage68 | 216856 | ||
Hi Rajeeb According to the Christian, as well as the Jewish beliefs, as Doc has stated, "God created us to enjoy what is appropriately ours to enjoy." "The problem arises when we desire something that does not rightly belong to us." But according to your own Hindu writings, and beliefs, what do they say about the situation? By following what the Bible says, might come in conflict with the teachings of your own Religion. If you want to receive the full blessings that Jesus has provided for His followers, why don't you ask Him into your heart? That way you can really know the Father, because the Father (GOD), the Son (JESUS), the HOLY SPIRIT, are all the same in ONE. After doing that find a Christian Church near you. Vintage68 |

42 | Luke 21:32 "geneav" translated in AMP? | Prov 30:6 | Vintage68 | 217816 | ||
Hi Heidibelle In light of these scriptures, which generation was Jesus speaking of? And why? Let scripture speak. John the Baptist spoke to them about the wrath to come. Jesus during his ministry spoke many times using the term "this generation" and what "they" were like. I have capitalized for emphasis. Matt.3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O GENERATION OF VIPERS, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Matt.11:16 But whereunto shall I liken THIS GENERATION? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, Matt.12:34,39,41,42,45 34.) O GENERATION OF VIPERS, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 39.) But he answered and said unto them, AN EVIL AND ADULREROUS GENERATION seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 41.) The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with THIS GENERATION, AND SHALL CONDEMN IT: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, BEHOLD, A GREATER THAN JONAS IS HERE. 42.) The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with THIS GENERATION, AND SHALL CONDEMN IT: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, BELOLD, A GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS HERE. 45.) Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. EVEN SO SHALL IT BE ALSO UNTO THIS WICKED GENERATION. Matt.16:4 A WICKED AND ADULTEROUS GENERATION seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed. Matt.17:17 Then Jesus answered and said, O FAITHLESS AND PERVERSE GENERATION, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. Matt.23:33,36 33.) Ye serpents, YE GENERATION OF VIPERS, HOW CAN YOU ESCAPE the damnation of hell? 36.) Verily I say unto you, ALL THESE THINGS SHALL COME UPON THIS GENERATION. Matt.24:34 VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU Verily, THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS, TILL ALL THESE THINGS BE FULFILLED. Mark 8:12,38 12.) And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth THIS GENERATION seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto THIS GENERATION. 38.) WHOSOEVER THEREFORE SHALL BE ASHAMED OF ME AND OF MY WORDS IN THIS ADULTEROUS AND SINFUL GENERATION; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Mark 9:19 He answereth him, and saith, O FAITHLESS GENERATION, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. Mark 13:30 VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS, TILL ALL THESE THINGS BE DONE . Luke 3:7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O GENERATION OF VIPERS, WHO HATH WARNED YOU TO FLEE FROM THE WRATH TO COME? Luke 7:31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of THIS GENERATION? and to what are they like? Luke 9:41 And Jesus answering said, O FAITHLESS AND PERVERSE GENERATION, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither. Luke 11:29-32,50,51 29.) And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, THIS IS AN EVIL GENERATION: THEY SEEK AFTER A SIGN; AND THERE SHALL NO SIGN BE GIVEN IT, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 30.) For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, SO SHALL ALSO THE SON OF MAN BE TO THIS GENERATION. 31.) The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of THIS GENERATION, AND CONDEMN THEM: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, BEHOLD, A GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS HERE. 32.) The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with THIS GENERATION, AND SHALL CONDEMN IT: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, BEHOLD, A GREATER THAN JONAS IS HERE. 50.) THAT THE BLOOD OF ALL THE PROPHETS, which was shed from the foundation of the world, MAY BE REQUIRED OF THIS GENERATION, 51.) From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, IT SHALL BE REQUIRED OF THIS GENERATION. Luke 17:25 BUT FIRST MUST HE SUFFER MANY THINGS, AND BE REJECTED OF THIS GENERATION. Luke 21:32 Verily I say unto you, THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS AWAY, TILL ALL BE FULFILLED. Vintage68 |

43 | Using the word Lucifer | Is 14:12 | Vintage68 | 217779 | ||

44 | Does prayer change God's mind? | Jon 3:10 | Vintage68 | 217453 | ||
Hi Montana mom Your question, "If God already knows beginning to end, how does prayer change his mind? Or does it?" My question would be, do you have something more specific your thinking of? Matt. 6:25,33 25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. The three areas of our life mentioned above, Jesus tells us if we seek His kingdom He will provide these things to us. Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. It appears as though, both Physical, and Spiritual things that are supplied to us, we keep:-) At this point then, what is left, that you might pray for, attempting to change Gods' mind? This has been a very thought provoking question, on the grounds, there are things we might attribute to God, that we pray about all the time, Therefore the question remains, will prayer change Gods' mind, if it is something He has given us?

Hi 561joshua01 EPHRATH: From H6509; fruitfulness; Ephrath, another name for Bethlehem; once used in Psa.132:6 BETHLEHEM: From H1004 and H3899; house of bread; Beth-Lechem, a place in Palestine: - Beth-lehem. Gen 35:16 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour. Ruth 4:11 And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem: 1Ch 2:50 These were the sons of Caleb the son of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah; Shobal the father of Kirjathjearim, 1Ch 4:4 And Penuel the father of Gedor, and Ezer the father of Hushah. These are the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah, the father of Bethlehem. Psa 132:6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.

Hi chosenone How about this as the definitive answer, "JESUS DID" drink wine ! A clear cut verse that says our Lord drank. MARK 14:25 "Truly I say to you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God." Vintage68 |

48 | Gen 6: 2; angels are "sons of God" ???? | Matt 22:30 | Vintage68 | 214412 | ||
HI asilra Your theory sounds pretty good about Goliath, except that everyone died in the flood. Except Noah and his family, and there isn't any scripture to say that they were giants. So I guess it's back to the drawing board for that one :-( As far as the second part of your question, you said "Humanity at this point reminds be of an infant, controlled by what feels good/bad, easily swayed by others, and still learning about him/herself and the environment thru trial and error." I don't really see that much difference between them and us today, I guess were still learning. How about the fact that man is just corrupt, doesn't that sound like a feasible reason? does that answer it Vintage68 |

49 | are there female amgels? | Matt 22:30 | Vintage68 | 214418 | ||
Hi carlygrips “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.” If angels do not procreate, there is no need for gender, at least not in the sense of human gender distinctions. We will be doing other things after the resurrection, it will not be about us any more.The whole thrust of our existence in heaven for all eternity will be the worshiping of God. As far as the angels procreating, they don't, and we won't either after the resurrection. Can you imagine the spiritual implications of that possibility? To say that the angels then have "no need for a gender, at least not in the sense of human gender distinctions." That statement is then saying angels do in fact have a gender, but different than ours, which would then be a (non - gender - gender). In a similar manner, God always refers to Himself in masculine language, although God is neither male nor female. He just uses masculine language because it more adequately describes who He is and what He does, especially in the patriarchal cultures in which the Bible was written. God does always refer to himself in the masculine, because of the pure fact "HE" is masculine. God can use any kind of language He wants to describe who He is, and what He does, He also chose to call himself Father instead of Mother. To say we call Him (HIM) because "in the patriarchal cultures in which the Bible was written." That statement comes about as close as you can to saying, "Man Created God in His Own Image". Are there patriarchal societies, because they evolved that way? Or because GOD chose to create a Man to be over the Woman? Which came first the chicken or the egg? If angels do have a gender, in some form, Scripture would indicate that they are predominately or universally male. It is more likely that angels are genderless, just as God is, and that masculine language is just used to describe them and their role in serving God. Scripture not only would, but does indicate that angels are not only predominately, but solely male. To be saying that God is gender-less is just wrong. Then saying it all comes down to language is as wrong. John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath (seen me hath seen the Father); and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: (for one is your Father), which is in heaven. John 8:18 I am one that bear witness of myself, (and the Father) that sent me beareth witness of me. John 10:30 (I and my Father are one). John 17:21 That they all may be one; (as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee), that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. We can clearly see from the mouth of Jesus Himself that He has a Father. Jesus also has a mother, but she was flesh. The Holy Spirit is the seed of God that has given us life as it did Jesus. To say that it is all just because of language is therefore just wrong. There are therefore no female angels. And God created the chicken. Hope this helps Vintage68 |

50 | Do the dead praise God? | Luke 16:23 | Vintage68 | 215099 | ||
Hi humility This is my belief, about the death of Lazarus, verse by verse John 11:4,11,14,23,24,25,26,43,44 4.) ("This sickness is not unto death") Speaking about a spiritual death. 11.) ("Our friend Lazarus sleepeth") Speaking about a physical death. 14.) ("Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.") Speaking again about a physical death. So we see, Jesus Himself says, that someone that is physically dead, is sleeping. 23.) ("Thy brother shall rise again.") Speaking about physical life. 24.) ("I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.") Speaking about spiritual life. 25.) ("Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:") Even if we are dead physically, we are still alive spiritually. 26.) ("And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.") By living our lives in Jesus while we are physically alive, our flesh will die, but we will never die spiritually. 43.) ("he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.") Speaking about a physical life. Lazarus was already alive spiritually. Now going to Thess.4 we can see the same words being used. It appears as though when this body of flesh dies, it is laid to rest (SLEEP) the word sleep is never used in relation to the spirit (soul) sleeping. 1 Thess. 4 14.) For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15.) For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16.) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17.) Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. I am not sure if it says anywhere in the bible, the spirit leaves the body when the body dies. We can assume this when we look at this passage. But it is not definite. 2 Cor. 5 :6,8 6.) Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 8.) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Vintage68 |

51 | Business and following Lord | Luke 18:22 | Vintage68 | 215066 | ||
Hi Rajeeb The absolute number 1 answer to that question is, from the lips of Jesus. Matt.13:44, Luke 18:22 The example of that job recommendation is the life of Paul. Other than that the bible does not tell us to get jobs in the world, God wants you to devote your whole life to His service. But if you cannot, then find a position where you feel comfortable. If you would feel better digging ditches, than doing the job you now do, God will honor your choice, as long as you can say that you are devoting your days work to His Glory. Can you say that now, about the position you are holding? Vintage68 |

Hi Hood Rat The people holding the cessationist belief always seem to wrap things up so neatly, stating all of the qualifications that one would need, in order for a person to be called an apostle. There are four other parts of what is called the five fold ministry, did they also have to meet this criteria? Special Qualifications: The qualifications of the apostles Acts 1:21-22. They must have been with Jesus during His earthly ministry (v.21), been baptized by John the Baptist (v.22), and been eyewitnesses of the resurrected Christ (v.22). Then conveniently they claim Paul was given a special exemption, so he could become an apostle, he was an eyewitness of the resurrected Christ This is the type of thing that is so often done, when there isn't any scripture to back up the argument. This is what happens when we all know for a certainty, PAUL "was" an apostle, so the only way the cessationist belief can come about is to pull up an assumption, that he was given an exemption, which cannot be documented. None of the other apostles were given any kind of exemption, they fulfilled this criteria, even Matthias had to fulfill this supposed criteria. Vintage68 |

55 | how can Barnabas sell or possess land | Acts 4:36 | Vintage68 | 215360 | ||
HI jbjona Barnabas was a Levite, he did sell land, but there is no mention as to where that land could have been. As Moses relayed to the people what God said, he told them.(the Levites) Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel. We can see from this, they were not to be able to own land within the borders of Israel. To paraphrase what Paul Harvey would say, go read the whole interesting story of Levi, and Simeon, to find out how they came to there individual positions concerning land within Israel. Vintage68 |

57 | The people that never heard of Jesus? | Rom 1:20 | Vintage68 | 213835 | ||
skasian From what you are asking, I do not believe Romans1:18-20 answers that question. Let me explain why I believe these verses do not answer you. In these three verses you can only see the severity of God, as Paul says the Wrath of God. But we know that Gods Wrath is always tempered with His Mercy, that is what were looking for. The 3 verses given are only addressing the issue of God being seen (a belief in a supreme creator.) But if you go back in this chapter to the 3 previous verses 15 - 17 you will see Paul addressing the issue you are concerned about. Romans1:15-17 15) So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17) For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. These 3 verses speak of Jesus. The gospel of Christ is what Paul brought to the Romans. Explaining the righteousness of God and how he grants salvation to everyone that believes. BUT Anyone that has not ever had the chance to hear the Gospel, or to accept Jesus as their personal savior. They fall under a different provision of God for the express circumstance you are describing. Romans.2:11-16 11) For there is no respect of persons with God. 12) For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 13) (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14) For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15) Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) 16) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. The crux of your question is. "Does God punish them to Hell even though they may be good people" As you can see 11-16 gives you Pauls whole thought. But for your answer 13-15 are crucial. God will judge the hearts of men, that never had the opportunity, to accept Jesus Christ as Savior. Is this sufficient for you Vintage68 |

58 | how to serve (quantity-wise) at church | Rom 12:7 | Vintage68 | 216955 | ||
Hi Asure I see that Paul's emphasis is on the persons motive. Having a humble spirit, willing to serve. Not trying to run everything. Rom.12:3,6 3.) For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, (not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think); but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. 4.) For as we have many members in one body, and (all members have not the same office): 6.) (Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us), whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; In answer to your specific question, I don't feel that there is anything wrong in a person filling in positions that are vacant, if they have that gift also, until such a time as the Lord fills that position for the Church. When the Church is in order, the Holy Spirit can then lead the Church, in the right direction. The Holy Spirit will raise up what the Church needs, that your less comely parts, may have more comeliness. The attributing of both quantity, and quality, should be the same understanding here.

59 | weep with others is more important? | Rom 12:15 | Vintage68 | 216226 | ||
Hi Asure From what the person said originally, from your own thoughts on their statement, then the responses you have received. It would appear as though everyone is only concentrating upon other Christians. How we relate to those closest to ourselves. If I am wrong in this please forgive. But in looking at the context of the chapter, the verse in question falls within a context of our relating to the people that might be persecuting us. Those that would in all respect be the hardest to relate to. This context runs from verse 14 all the way to the end of the chapter verse 21 Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Rom. 12:14-17 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 1 Corinthians 9:22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. As far as which one is the more important, there isn't any comparison made. But it is important that we also do these things with the lost . Vintage68 |

60 | Difference From This To I Pet. 2:13, 14? | Rom 13:1 | Vintage68 | 216393 | ||
Hi brothersmith 1 Peter 2:12-16 12.) Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. 13.) Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 14.) Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. 15.) For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 16.) As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. You are not to be disturbers of the peace; you Christian people are to cultivate the spirit of conciliation wherever you dwell, submitting yourselves, “for the Lord’s sake,” even to come things which you do not like. We are to obey kings, and governors, and magistrates, even when they may not be all that we wish them to be: “Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake:” — True Christians give no trouble in the State they are not law-breakers, but they strive to do that which is honest and upright. Where the laws are not righteous, they may cause trouble to bad law-givers and lawmakers; but when rulers ordain that which is just and righteous, they find that Christians are their best subjects. In Peter’s day, the king was a poor creature, and something worse than that. Indeed, I might say of the bulk of the Emperors of Rome, who were the chief “kings” of that day, that they were monsters of iniquity; yet the office was to be respected even when the man who occupied it could not be much more should it be respected when the occupant is what a true “king” should be. Ignorance, you see, is a noisy thing. An empty drum makes a loud noise when it is beaten; and empty men, like empty vessels, often make the most sound. How then are we to silence this noisy ignorance? By argument? No, for it is not amenable to argument. Ignorance is to be silenced “by well doing.” Holy living is the best reply to infidel talking. Free in yourselves, free in your conscience, free in your mind and heart. .....C.H.Spurgeon Vintage68 |
