42 | WHY 400 YRS BETWEEN TESTAMENTS | Bible general Archive 2 | prayon | 144743 | ||
Greetings, As searcher said the bible does not give us any reason for the 430 years of silence. Although God was prophetically silent the hand of God was active during this time directing the course of events which followed the pattern predicted in Daniel (2:24,45; 7:1-28; 8:1-27; and 11:1-35). prayon | ||||||

46 | Most Accurate Bible Translation? | Bible general Archive 2 | prayon | 146850 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum! I am soooo happy that you are seeking the truth! There are many bibles that are very accurate. The International Bible society has a sight that might help you - http://www.ibs.org/bibles/translations/index.php. It compares each version of the bible. I would pick the one that you can understand the best. I like the God's Word Version and I also use the McArthur Study Bible. Another site that I recommend to everyone is www.e-sword.net. There are many bibles that you can download onto your computer and also has many commentaries and dictionaries to help you in your search for the truth. prayon |

48 | Jesus says about children being sacred? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 1954 | ||
I don't know of anywhere in the bible that specifically says that children are sacred however Jesus mentions children numerous times in the New Testament in ways that we can know of their importance to Him. Jesus warns us in Matthew 18:6 that if anyone puts a stumbling block in front of a child it would truly be better for that person if a millstone were tied around his neck and he were thrown into the depths of the sea. In chapter 19 Jesus said not to stop the little children coming to Him because it is to them that the kingdom of heaven belongs. Ephesians 6:4 tells us not to provoke your children to anger. In Mark 9:37 Jesus took a child into His arms and said whoever welcomes a child in my name welcomes me. Many places in the bible Jesus tells of the importance of children and how we must care for and protect them. I can't find the scripture but the bible also tells us that if we don't raise our children in His ways we will have to answer to Him. I hope this answers your questions. | ||||||

50 | Is astrology forbidden? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 1986 | ||
Abomination; abominable: very hateful, detestable; loathsome,disgusting, horrible. Abominable is the strongest condemnatory language used by God in the entire bible. It is this word that He uses to describe astrology. Deut. 18:9-14 Moses warns us about unholy practices stating that anyone "who practices divination, or is a soothsayer" (one who has spiritual insight or is able to foretell events), "or an augur" (one who foretells future events by interpreting omens), "or a sorcerer" (wizard, conjurer, or magician), "or one who casts spells, or one who consults ghosts or spirits, or seeks oracles the dead is. For whoever does these things is abomination to the Lord". Astrology and horoscopes fall under these categories. Again in Gal. 5:19 Paul warns us again against the works of the flesh; included in these is sorcery. See also the commands for daily life in Leviticus 19, verses 26 abd 31 again warn us of such things. |

51 | How can we assist our youth? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 2108 | ||
Dear Brent, I am mother of three (23,22, and 14) and a grandmother of two. Having been in the military and a traveling nurse we have been to many churchs. I hope I will be able to give some suggestion that will be helpful. First - I believe that the most important thing is to pray for youth leaders who will meet the teens at their level and be accepting of them the way they are - no matter how they dress, how much jewelry they wear, what color their hair is or whether it is neatly combed or standing up in spikes. Jesus never cared how someone looked and neither should we. Youth today are seeking love and acceptance. Many don't get either of these at home unfortunitly. The need of these things often is what leads them to gangs and drugs. The church has to be able to meet those needs. Youth leaders have to be able to sincerly care for them and love them. No one can recognize a false front as fast as a teen. They also have to know that they CAN TRUST the leader. That no matter what problem they have they can go to the leader and talk about anything and it will be kept in strict confidence. Usually kids go to friends for advice because they have no one they can trust - wouldn't it be much better if they had someone they could trust that would give them Godly advice? 2nd - You have to make the teens feel a part of the church. They need to be needed. Let them do nursery duty (we always have one teen and one adult), let them usher - (I have seen some 8 and 9 year olds usher better than adults), let them help teach the little ones, let them read the scripture sometimes or say the prayers. Every 5th Sunday of the month we have Youth Sunday. The youth plan the service (with an adult to oversee), pick the speaker, do the praise and worship and run the service. You will be amazed at what they are capable of. 3rd - You have to make church and bible study interesting to them. They have to be able to relate to the sermon or teaching. Nothing can turn my kids off of a church faster than not being able to understand or relate to what is being said. 4th - You have to give them music they enjoy, that will keep them coming back. I like some of the old hymns but very, very few youth do. They want to hear rock or rap or gospel. I used to hate rock but I have learned to enyoy it - still don't like alternative though. :o). 5th - You said you wanted to get ideas for church, bible study and youth activites. The best thing is to ASK THEM. They know what they like, what they enjoy. Let them plan their activites. Let them do the fund raisers. Teach them to be responsible. Then support them in whatever they decide whether it be a concert (just take some earplugs and go), skating, a street dance, a lock-in (a big slumber party at the church), or a camping trip. There are many 2-3 day long music festivals during the summer such as Creation or Sunshine. Pick the closest one and suggest a short trip. One thing our church did was to have youth "vs" adult forums where youth could voice their concerns and there not be any repurcussions afterward. The parents never heard what was said. Also do it vice versa where the parents can voice their concerns and the youth have to respond to those concerns. You also mentioned young adults. They need the same things plus more, especially single parents. One of the main problems I experienced as a single parent is that my sons had no one they could go to for fatherly advice and guidance. No role model. This is a very big problem of today. I think that for every one parent family where the father has no involvement or negative involvement the church should step in and fill this very important role. If it is a single mom then some man from the church needs to step in and spend time with the children. If it is a single father then a woman needs to step in and spend time with the children. Something similar to the big brother/big sister idea. There must be consistance though. There are lots of other needs for a single parent but that is another issue. I don't remember who said it but they said the youth of today WILL be our leaders of tomorrow. Teach them to care, to listen, to be responsible. Many unfortunetly don't get these lessons at home anymore. I hope this has helped you because our youth are the most important thing in the church. |

52 | Define the word "cult". | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 2119 | ||
I believe that EdB gave a very good definition of a cult. I would like to add the following. Accoding to Dr. Stan Fleming of Gatebreakers ministry at a recent workshop I attended the 5 basic characteristics of a cult are any group has: 1) a new revelation that supercedes the Bible. 2) redefined Christian terminology. 3) Exclusitivity - They are the only ones with the truth 4) a authoritavity leader - tense, strong willed, charasmatic (not meaning spirit filled) 5) strict, unreasonable rules, and harsh dicipline see also 1Tim 4:1-5,7 |

53 | what is the best inter. of the bible | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 2168 | ||
I have tried all different types of bibles in my studies. I, too, have found the best to be the New International Version or the New Revised Standard Version. I would also like to recommend the Life Application Bible. It can be found in either version as well as King James. The charts and diagrams, maps, individual profiles, cross references, time lines, book introductions, and cross references are all extremely helpful. It also has many, many footnotes that explains the verse as well as how to apply it to your life. Good studying. | ||||||
54 | Is it a sin to committ suicide? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 2322 | ||
Although I have no scripture backing on this (and I would love to know some scriptures if any one can supply them) I do not believe that it is a sin to commit suicide. I look at it this way; The majority of people who commit suicide do it because they are depressed. Depression whether, chronic or acute, is a disease. This disease has complications just as diabetes, lung cancer or any other disease does. One of the complications is suicide. I do not believe that anyone who succombs to depression and commits suicide would be condemned anymore than someone who lost a leg with diabetes or someone who lost a lung bcause of cancer. | ||||||
55 | What unmarried sexual acts are sinful? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 2583 | ||
I try to impress upon all children I talk to as well as adults when the situation fits is this: If you have the SLIGHTEST hesitancy in doing anything (as you obviously have by asking the question) - DON'T!!! It is almost always the Holy Spirit telling you not to. |

56 | Why not Jesus' words in Red? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 2706 | ||
I can give you 3 reasons why I like all black. 1) When your eyes are not that great, like mine, it is a lot harder to read the red than the black 2) Highliters don't work as well over red 3) I make a lot of notes in the margins, between lines, ect. in my bible. The really important notes I write in red because I will be able to notice them faster. |

57 | why is masterbation a sin. | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 3352 | ||
"Victor" - "Charlene" asked a similar question on 4/3. I suggest reading the answer from "Ray". I think he looks at it in different way than the other answers you have received. I suggest taking it to God in prayer and go with what you believe He is telling you. |

58 | Theology of BSF? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 3933 | ||
I have been going to BSF for a little over a year now. I LOVE it and I have learned more in the past year than I have in many years of "regular" Bible Studies. The main focus of BSF is application of the bible to your daily life. BSF does not go into any church doctrine. It is interdenominational and makes no judgements on who is right, who is wrong, or how different things such as baptism should be done. They teach strictly from what the bible says, and how to apply it to your daily life. If there is a issue with different viewpoints such as when the rapture will occur they will give all viewpoints and let you decide which one you think is right. They have a challenging fourfold approach to the 7 year long in depth studies. They use daily questions, discussion groups, enriching notes and interesting lectures. The classes are 7 years long and include studies of the books of Genesis, Matthew, Romans, John, as well as the life of Moses (which will be the study next year), history of Isreal and the minor prophets, and the Acts of the apostles. I hope I have answered your questions. I will be happy to give you any more information you want. prayon |

59 | DINOSOURES OR ALIENS IN THE BIBLE? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 3953 | ||
I would like to suggest a book that will answer your questions about aliens: Entertaining Spirits Unaware by David Benoit and Eric Barger. It is an excellent book to read especially for those who teach children. |

60 | i need a bio on paul the apostle | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 4106 | ||
Paul is one of my favorites. He was born in Tarsus as a Jew. It was Paul, who was called Saul at that time, who passionately hated Christians and persecuted them unmercifully. He went to the high priest and asked permission to bring them bound to Jerusalem. It was because of Saul that the Christians scattered and the gospel began to spread world wide. While on his was to Damascus a bright light from heaven shined around him and he fell to the ground and was blinded. Jesus then asked him why he persecuted him so. Jesus sent him to on tho Damascus to a disciple named Ananias. Ananias after a word from the Lord healed Saul. He got up and was baptised at that time. He stayed several days with the disciples, dedicated his life to Christ, and boldly started preaching the gospel, however it did take some time for people to trust him again. The Jews in Damascus plotted to kill him so the other disciples let him down over the wall in a basket. He traveled all over as a missionary and taught the gospel to thousands upon thousands. Until Paul was converted little was done about carrying the gospel to the non-Jews. He preached in Rome 3 times. He was a tentmaker by trade and very strong willed but always obedient to Christ. He wrote most of the NT epistles. Paul was believed to of been, according to tradition, beheaded after a imprisonment in Rome about 62 AD |
