41 | beat up christian | 1 Cor 10:13 | following him | 123061 | ||
Mike be blessed and encouraged; You know sometimes thing happen to us that are just part of living here on earth. These things everybody goes through and has to deal with with the wisdom our God gives us. But then there are things that happen because we are doing what Our God has prepared before hand that we should do. Things which threaten the enemy, invade his territory or strengthens the body of Christ. These are the types of thing which he tries to stop or hinder as best he can. Put on the whole armor of God brother. Stand firm. You are doing what is right and what God has called you to do. Is pride a sin? Not when it comes from God toward His children when they stand firm and do His purpose, it may be this Bible study you want to start on the forum, your witness at work, in your family, what you are doing for your church. You may be wearing a target right now but it is only because you are becoming a serious threat to the enemy. You can also call it becoming Christ-like if you wish. be blessed God is proud of you. In love and admiration. |

42 | Is NIV version not worded right? | Gen 9:5 | following him | 122805 | ||
The context is not one of standing before God and giving a reason for their actions it is one of holding the animal or person accountable and responisble for their actions and suffering the consequences for them. In this case the consequences of an animal killing a person is the animals death. As well as a person killed another person same consequences. | ||||||
43 | what about a Bible study??? | Bible general Archive 2 | following him | 122498 | ||
I like that idea; however if a study is started I think it should be something a little less controversial so that we can test the logistics of how to do a study in this type of forum without it falling into one big augument. And then if it works then posibly something more contraversal with certainagreed upon boundaries and guidelines. | ||||||
44 | Follow up needed on suffering | Gen 3:16 | following him | 122371 | ||
I've never been very good with words concerning the struggles you've faced and the sorrow you feel. But I hope these will be an encouragement to you at least that is the intent that I have. I first want to bless you for your compassion I can see it in the first message you posted on the 25th. I see taking care of pets as a fulfillment of God's first job he gave man that was to tend the garden. That included the animals as well as plants. As to Why didn't God just forgive Adam and Eve? I believe He did. he covered them in skin of an animal which sacrificed it's life to cover their sin and it was God who did it (Gen 3:21). There are few other things God promised and set in motion at this time as well. 1. He promised a Savior and redeemer. 2 He established the way of redemption through the blood of the innocent. Here he provided skins but later He would provide His only Son. 3. He promised the destuction of the one who caused this all to happen in the first place. Please realise there are three things God cannot do. He cannot lie. He cannot change, He cannot make us love Him. That is the problem with having free will. Unfortunately when Adam sinned he put in to action things that could not be stopped. he gave authority over this world to the devil. He had by his own choice gave the devil authority to influence his life and all the children that would come from him. That is the free will in action and is something God cannot change. This all leads to the suffering we all deal with in this world today. BUT God has fulfilled His promise of a deliverer and redeemer. He has fulfilled His promise of conquering the devil who no longer has authority or should I say we have greater authority than he. And His promised for a new creation still stands. As for condeming mankind to death.The death that took place when Adam sinned was not a physical one but a spiritual one. The Physical death God gave us in Gen 3:22 was actually a blessing. This death was given so that we would not have to live forever in a sinful corrupt world which we made for ourselves through our choices. It was given for us that we could rest from the troubles we face here as long as during our life here was one surrendered to faith in Christ. Please be encouraged although things happen that we may not understand I know that God does not want you to give up. Be strengthen in order to give comfort to those who in like manner may be struggling too. I know I can promise this to you that God will turn this around for you and do great things through you if you stand firm. Love, peace and joy in Christ. |

45 | Advise needed | Ezek 18:27 | following him | 122294 | ||
I'm not sure of what you are asking about Matt 23:37. As for Ezek 18 this chapter is explaining God's graciousness. that he give oppertunity for repentance and walking in righteousness. But you must remember this was prior to Christ's death and resurrection. But even still in the OT Righteousness was based on faith in God. Following His precepts was evidence of that faith (read James). Not walking in His precepts was proof of your rejection of God and His righteousness. God says several times here that He does not get pleasure from the death of sinners. Read about King Manasseh (2 Kings 21 and 2 Chron 33)and see God's restoration for those who repent. As to whether they would be saved on Judgement day that would depend on their response to Jesus. John 14:6 Jesus *said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. As for ghosts; they are demons. | ||||||
46 | "the generation that saw Israel become a | Matt 24:32 | following him | 122232 | ||
Matt 24:32-34. Is the reference. The fig tree is one of the trees used as a symbol of Israel. The putting forth new branches and leaves is regarded as being Israel becoming a nation once again. But it is rather ambiguous and may be refering to the signs He mentioned just prior to the parable about the fig tree. There are many OT references of Israel returning and becoming a nation again. Most of them refer to the last days. | ||||||
47 | What is rotten fruit? | Matt 7:17 | following him | 122229 | ||
Here is a biblical test. Deut 13:1-3. There may be prophets that arise the their prophecies come true. The question would be who do they tell you to serve? Test the spirits 1 John 4:1-6. If you really want to know read all of 1 John. The entire epistle is about discerning who is really following God and those who say they are but are not. As you read it notice all the places where there is a comparison between those who love God and those who dont but say they do. | ||||||
48 | Roman guard myth? | Matt 28:11 | following him | 122145 | ||
This idea comes from Matt 28:11-15. The idea is that if the guard were temple guards then it would not have mattered what Pilot would say about their acts at the tomb. But if they were Roman then Pilot could have them put to death. This is why the chief priests assured the guards that if the matter came to Pilot they (the chief priests) would protect them. | ||||||

Why do you say it is possible for believers to go there? | ||||||
50 | Is Hell fire literal that burns forever? | Matt 13:40 | following him | 122116 | ||
Why do you say that it is possible for us as believers to go there? | ||||||

52 | Created | Gen 1:25 | following him | 121892 | ||
Yes it is true. See Gen 1:25,26. All the creatures were created first. But man was created in God's image to rule over the creatures. We are a special creation set apart from the animals. We are the focus of God's redemption and promises. We are the ones God calls His children. Luke 3:38 "The son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God" Adam is called God's son. We may have been created last but we are the most important. In fact 1 Cor 6:3 Says that "Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?" There is so much more in the Bible to describe us as being higher than the animals. It would be difficult to show all the references without just giving you the entire Bible. | ||||||
53 | scatter stones | Gen 1:1 | following him | 121886 | ||
It is sort of an agriculture/war issue. If you wanted to make the field of your enemy unproductive but still usable for you when you conquered him you would scatter stones throughout his fields to make them difficult to plant and therefore take away his source of food. If you wanted to completely destroy the field you would scatter salt. If you wanted to clear a field for planting you would gather the stones so you could plant. So there is a time to destroy a field and a time to create a field. The real difficulty is having discernment when to do which. It is difficult to do something that may hurt someone even when the end result brings healing or wisdom. Ex. child rearing, medical proceedures, confronting error, etc. Sometimes a hard hand is required sometimes a soft one. | ||||||
54 | quick response on creation vs evolution | 2 Pet 2:1 | following him | 121866 | ||
This comes from acounting for the ages given in the geneologies found in the book of Gen. They are not completely actuate becausee of possible omissions. But they should be close. If you believe that the Bible was inspired by God but say that evolution is a reality then you are saying that God is a liar because Gen 1:1 says "In the begining God created the heavens and the earth." not evolution. How can you have faith in a God who starts out His inspired word with a lie. If you desire actual evidence for an early creation by God of the earth Go to the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) web site. They have many, many, many articles that give specific evidence. |

55 | What is service? | Luke 12:42 | following him | 121865 | ||
Jesus defines a good servant as one who does the will of his master even when the master is not around. Read Luke 12:42-48. | ||||||
56 | when, where and why did lucifer fall | Ezek 28:12 | following him | 121784 | ||
Check out Ezek 28:12-19 and Isaiah 14:12-21 | ||||||
57 | is this rider the anti-christ | Rev 6:2 | following him | 121781 | ||
Yes, Notice that his description does not match that of Christ. He is armed with a bow, and not a double-egded sword coming from his mouth. Also notice that there is close enough similarities to mistakenly think he is Christ. This will be what the Beast (Anti-christ) would like since he will try to put himself up as the messiah and God and will deceive the nations into thinking that he is. | ||||||
58 | Rider -Jesus or Anti-Christ | Rev 6:2 | following him | 121780 | ||
I believe him to be the "Anti-Christ" Since he is not armed with a double edged sword from his mouth. Jesus is always presented as having a double-edged sword coming from His mouth. | ||||||
59 | God is one | Bible general Archive 2 | following him | 121688 | ||
Why does this matter? | ||||||
60 | Praying in tongues | Rom 8:26 | following him | 121685 | ||
No, I dont believe so! The Holy Spirit is quite aware of who or what you are praying for. There have been many times while I was praying that the Holy Spirit would urge me to pray about something but not tell me who I'm praying for. We have to trust (faith) that the Holy Spirit is guiding us in truth. If you pray in tongues pray also that you interpret by this I mean ask the holy Spirit to give you understanding about what you are praying. He may bring to mind a situation or a person but not fill in the details. I would urge you though dont pray just "willy nilly" in tongues, pray using the guidence of the Holy Spirit. First ask Him what issues are on his Heart then pray in the direction He leads you. Pray is a powerful weapon when guided by the Holy Spirit. But If the Holy Spirit is not in it it's just making noise. Remember if we ask anything according to His will He hears us. I hope this answers your question, sorry about being long winded. Blessing to you |
