41 | confused about who are sinners and not | 1 Tim 1:15 | Machaira | 182270 | ||

42 | confused about who are sinners and not | 1 Tim 1:15 | Machaira | 182268 | ||
The Apostle Paul seemed to think that he was still a sinner even after conversion. Notice how he says, "I am" the foremost. 1Ti 1:15 The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.

43 | Roman documentation of Christs execution | NT general Archive 1 | Machaira | 182264 | ||
Hi Monica, As far as I tell there is no longer any official Roman record - if there ever was one to begin with. If we believe what Matthew tells us in his Gospel is true, (and I do), then it's highly unlikely that there ever was an official record. Notice in the following passage how the chief priests and elders promised to intervene on behalf of the soldiers. As far as politics go, it looks like there's nothing new under the sun. ;) Mat 28:11 While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place. Mat 28:12 And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers Mat 28:13 and said, "Tell people, 'His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.' Mat 28:14 And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble." Mat 28:15 So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews to this day. Peace in Christ, Machaira |

44 | Better Greek Translation for 2 Thess.? | 2 Thess 2:2 | Machaira | 182261 | ||
The Greek texts in question would be Alexandrian. Some of the oldest and most comlete texts come from this text type, which is why they're deemed 'better.' Either way, the same event and person is in view no matter which reading is adopted. Notice how in verse 1 Christ is called our "Lord" Jesus Christ. Peace in Christ, Machaira |

45 | green wood like this? | Luke 23:31 | Machaira | 182220 | ||
A green tree is one that still has life in it, whereas a dry tree is dead and ready to be cut down and thrown into the fire. So, basically, what Jesus is saying is this: If that generation could do such evil in the presence of their messiah how much worse would they do when he and his apostles were gone? The "dry tree" was most likely fulfilled in the atrocities committed inside Jerusalem during the 3 year seige leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD by the Romans.

46 | Is it faith missing? | Rom 8:28 | Machaira | 182211 | ||
Without knowing the specifics of your situation it's difficult not to give you what may appear as a very simplistic answer. Here it is: Rom 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. The Lord takes us through many different 'seasons' of life - some good and some bad, and even some in between. Notice, that Paul says that "all things work together for good," not just the good things. When you read Scriptures in the future, notice that even the mightiest men of God had good times and bad. They didn't always have their prayers answered the way they would have liked and yet God was still working in them and through them. What should you do at this time in your life? Continue to seek God in prayer, in His Word and in fellowship with a local assembly of believers. Without these things you certainly will feel disconnected. Peace in Christ, Machaira |

47 | Roman documentation of Christs execution | NT general Archive 1 | Machaira | 182202 | ||
Extant Roman documentation is scant, but here is a mention by the Roman historian 'Tacitus.' But all human efforts, all the lavish gifts of the emperor, and the propitiations of the gods, did not banish the sinister belief that the conflagration was the result of an order. Consequently, to get rid of the report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called 'Chrestians' by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilate, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their center and become popular. - Tacitus, Annals 15.44.2-8, c. 64 AD.

49 | Women in the Body of Christ? Psalm 68:11 | Bible general Archive 3 | Machaira | 182189 | ||
Nothing specific is being taught regarding the role of women in the Church. The imagery in Psalm 68:11 refers to the Oriental custom whereby females celebrated victories in songs and dances. See Exo 15:20-21; Jdg 11:34; Jdg 21:21; 1Sa 18:6-7. | ||||||
50 | How does grace teach us? | Titus 2:12 | Machaira | 182169 | ||
1. "How does grace teach (instruct or train) us?" The grace that saves us from our former way of life teaches us by empowering us and opening our eyes to the fact that we also need to renounce that former life. A verse with a similar emphasis is Php. 2:12,13. Php 2:12 . . . work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, Php 2:13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. 2. Can God's discipline and punishment be considered grace? Yes. A good example of this is 1 Tim. 1:19,20. God could simply 'wash His hands' of individuals like Hymenaeus and Alexander, but instead He graciously condecends to teach them and redeem them through discipline. 1Ti 1:19 holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith, 1Ti 1:20 among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme. |

52 | prayed with John centarion receive Ho Gh | Acts | Machaira | 182132 | ||
Hello DLorddaughter, If you are in fact talking about Acts 10 as Brian pointed out, then I would point out that no one prayed that the centurion would receive the Holy Spirit. It was simply an act of God's sovereign grace. I hope I understood your question. If not, maybe you could rephrase it. Peace in Christ, Machaira |

53 | is fasting a command for us ,where is it | Luke 5:35 | Machaira | 182015 | ||
Well . . . first off Doc . . . my post wasn't addressed to you. Sorry if I'm still getting the hang of this very strange set up. It's not what I'm used to. Secondly, from where I'm sitting, the original question certainly did ask, "is fasting a command for us, where is it?" I quote exactly. Thirdly, the WCF may make explicit reference to fasting, but it nowhere indicates that it is a formal command. As I said before, the book of Acts seems to indicate that fasting is certainly a useful practice, but it is by no means a New Testament command. Peace in Christ, Machaira |

54 | is fasting a command for us ,where is it | Luke 5:35 | Machaira | 182012 | ||
As far as the New Covenant is concerned, there is no formal command to fast. However, we do find at least 3 instances of fasting in the book of Acts, ( 13:2; 13:3; 14:23;). This would seem to indicate that it is still a useful practice. It's also interesting to note that after Acts, there is no more mention of fasting in the New Testament. Peace in Christ, Machaira |

55 | Scriptural basis of rising early to pray | Matt 6:5 | Machaira | 181998 | ||
Hello eph429, If we look through the Gospel accounts of Jesus praying, we find that He prayed any time He wanted or felt the need, (Matt. 26:36; Luke 3:21, 6:12, 9:16, 9:29, 11:1, 22:39-46, for example). Also, in all of Jesus' instruction on prayer, He never specifies any particular time of day as 'best.' Notice in Matt. 6:5-7 that Jesus says, "when you pray" 3 times. The best time is whatever works best for you. Peace in Christ, Machaira |

56 | Whats is God's Name? | Ps 83:18 | Machaira | 181929 | ||
All of God's Biblical names are meant to be descriptive in that they reveal some attribute of His being or relational quality toward man. Machaira |
