43 | Was Judas Iscariot a believer? | Matt 5:13 | Aliennow | 160470 | ||
Kalos, I am still confused about Judas. I see now that according to John he was not a believer. John 6:63-64 ""'The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. Yet there are some of you who do not believe.' For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him." But if Christ already knew that Judas would betray him then Judas would not have had free will and therefore could not have avoided betraying Jesus. If I understand Matthew 27:3-4 "When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders. "I have sinned," he said, "for I have betrayed innocent blood." It seems to me by admitting his sin he did repent. Also if Judas was sent to hell for his betrayal, and it was necessary for the saving death of Christ, then why is Judas suffering for saving humanity. If he is in hell then it seems he would be suffering more for humanity. Thanks, Aliennow |

44 | Was Judas Iscariot a believer? | Matt 5:13 | Aliennow | 161165 | ||
But James is speaking to us after the New Covenant is in effect. In the Old Covenant sins were forgiven by other means. Do you think that God allowed Judas to sin as an example to us? I know well that God does not tempt us today or does not lead us to sin. Thanks, Aliennow |

45 | Was Judas Iscariot a believer? | Matt 5:13 | Aliennow | 161166 | ||
Thank you I can see that Judas did not repent to Christ, but that he still would have been under the old laws. Right? James speaks to us from the new law that if we repent and turn from that sin we are forgiven. I struggle with suicide being a sin. I can not find anywhere in the Bible that talks specifically about suicide. Is it because we murder and therefore are unable to repent that it is considered sin or something else? Thanks for helping me clarify a few things. God is truly speaking through you! Aliennow |

Wow thanks alot! You have explained this in a way I can truly understand. I also looked back at the order of events and Judas chose to betray Christ before Satan ever entered his body. God Bless You, Aliennow |

50 | How are God's promises being fulfilled? | Matt 22:32 | Aliennow | 159707 | ||
Matthew 22:32 "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. So he is the God of the living, not the dead." Jacob was the third in the link of God's plan to start a nation from Abraham. The success of that plan was more often in spite of than because of Jacob's life. Also read through Hebrews 11:9. |

51 | Are babies going in the rapute? | Matt 24:22 | Aliennow | 159693 | ||
There will be babies and others here on earth when the rapture comes. I am not sure what you are really looking for but here are some scriptures on what I consider the "Rapture". In 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, the Apostle Paul writes: "Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." In 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Paul writes: "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: Then we who 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." In Philippians 3:20-21, Paul writes: "For our conversation is in heaven; from where also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself." |

52 | John 3:16 | John 3:16 | Aliennow | 159725 | ||
This is clearly Jesus speaking. The message of the Good News comes to a focus in this verse. God's love is not static or self-centered, it reaches out and draws others in. Here God sets the pattern of true love, the basis for all love relationships - when you love somebody dearly, you are wiling to give freely to the point of self-sacrafice. God paid dearly with the life of his son, the highest price He could pay. Jesus, not John, accepted our punishment, paid the price for our sins, and then offered us the new life that he had bought for us. |

53 | WHY DOES THE BIBLE SAY THAT THE DEVIL IS | John 8:44 | Aliennow | 159727 | ||
Originally, only the epithet of "the satan" or "the adversary" was used to denote the character in the Hebrew deity's court that later became known as "the Devil". The article was lost and this title became a proper name: Satan. There is no unambiguous basis for the Devil in the Torah, the Prophets, or the Writings. Zechariah 3:1--"And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and ha-satan standing at his right hand to resist him." This reading has since been erroneously interpreted by some to mean Satan, "the Devil", but such is not the case. The Hebrew Bible views ha-satan as an angel ministering to the desires of God, acting as Chief Prosecutor. The tempter: Gospel of Matthew 4:3--"And when the tempter came to him." None escape his temptations. He is continually soliciting men to sin. In Gospel of Matthew 10:25 and 12:24, Mark 3:22, and openly in Luke 11:18-19 there is an implied connection between Satan and Beelzebub (originally a Semitic deity called Baal-zebul, one of the Baals.) Beelzebub (lit. "Lord of the Flies") has now come to be analogous to Satan. The wicked one: Matt. 13:19--"Then cometh the wicked one." Matt. 6:13; 1 John 5:19. This title suggests that Satan is one who is wicked himself. Abrahamic religions generally regarded sin as a physical manifestation of opposition to God, and therefore evil; dissent only comes from the topic of 'where does sin come from?' In John 12:31 and 14:30 Satan is called Prince of this World; this became a nickname for him. 1 Peter 5:8--"Your adversary the devil." By adversary is meant one who takes a stand against another. In the Christian worldview, Satan is the adversary of both God and humanity. The Devil, diabolos: This name is ascribed to Satan at least 33 times in the Christian scriptures and indicates that Satan is an accuser or slanderer (Rev. 12:9). Dragon or The Old Serpent: These epithets are used extensively in the Book of Revelation. The Beast (Book of Revelation 13:1-18) is a term John the Evangelist used to refer to a "puppet" of the dragon's (Satan), and a term supposedly used by John in Revelation 17:3-17 to designate the Devil (or the Antichrist); this name appears several times in the book of Revelation, and it became another nickname for Satan. Abaddon or Apollyon: Referred to in Revelation 9:11, commonly interpreted as the name of Satan in Hebrew and Greek respectively. |

54 | Knowing God | John 15:16 | Aliennow | 160202 | ||
NightJay, I have read "The Purpose Driven Life" and have used it in adult and youth Bible studies. It is a clear description of the gifts that we have been given by God, understanding those gifts, and utilizing them to glorify God. Excellant Book1 Aliennow |

55 | Assumption or truth? | John 17:3 | Aliennow | 159852 | ||
Dear CDBJ - Have you heard of the Romans Road to salvation? The "Romans Road" refers to a set of scriptures from the book of Romans that Christian evangelists use to present a clear and simple case for personal salvation for each person. They are: Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 6:23a "...The wages of sin is death..." Romans 6:23b "...But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 5:8 "God demonstrates His own love for us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us!" Romans 10:9,10 "...If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation." Romans 10:13 "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved!" Joy, Alienow |

56 | Baptism of Children | Acts 2:41 | Aliennow | 159124 | ||
Can you help me out about Baptism. I understand the meaning of it and am referring to being Baptized by water. Some debate that infants and children should not be Baptize and actually refer to it as sin. Is their any reference in the Bible about the Baptism of infants and children and if so where. |

57 | Voting in Church | Acts 6:4 | Aliennow | 159745 | ||
Our church seems to focus more on voting on everything including people who filled called to a certain position. Is there anywhere in the Bible that supports this form of practice? |
||||||
58 | Voting in Church | Acts 6:4 | Aliennow | 159755 | ||
I still do really see the scriptural support for an actual vote. Acts says to "pray and choose" and Corinthians talks of kicking out those who are immoral. Can you give me the scriptures for elder rule and pastor rule also. Thanks |
||||||
59 | Voting in Church | Acts 6:4 | Aliennow | 159855 | ||
I do not recall saying anything about the word vote in Acts. It is me looking for scriptural referance to voting within the church and I can not find any. | ||||||
60 | How is "found approval" not by vote? | Acts 6:4 | Aliennow | 159867 | ||
When we have certain spiritual gifts that God approves of and it shows to others, there is no need for a vote. The whole congregation approved of it. Where as in a vote you usually will not see 100 percent approval. | ||||||
