41 | Wife learning to control tongue......... | Bible general Archive 1 | chynna | 38684 | ||
Remember to approach an argument with the spouse in such a way you ARE going to stay married and wake up in each others arms in the morning. If things get too heated, both retreat with a piece of paper and write everything down. Sometimes people explain themselves better in writting than when yelling. And there should be no winner or loser. Since you are one, you should both win when it's over. | ||||||
42 | God is a spirit? Animals have spirits? | Bible general Archive 1 | chynna | 38904 | ||
I am a Christian and I believe very strongly that animals have spirit. I base this on several things in the Bible. In Genesis there are only two things that God created. Animals and Man. When God created Adam and Eve and the animals they were all vegetarians and neither man or the animals were subject to death. In Genesis 9:5 it states, "And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man." There are numerous passages throughout the Bible. Even Jesus says in Matthew (?) that God,His Father is aware of every death, even that of a sparrow. God included the animals in His covenant with Noah. Romans 8:19(KJV) says that all of creation waits in eager expectation for Christs return Take a look at Revelation 4:7 where the living creatures were glorifying God. The twenty four elders said, "...You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being." Now look at Revelation 5:13, "Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever." There are many more passages... |

43 | God is a spirit? Animals have spirits? | Bible general Archive 1 | chynna | 39014 | ||
I don't disagree with that. My point was that God's original intention when He first created man and animal were that we were vegetarian. Yes, this changed. God allows us to eat meat now. Personally, I don't, but to each their own. I feel closer to God taking care of His creations rather than destroying them. | ||||||
44 | animals and spirits? | Bible general Archive 1 | chynna | 39017 | ||
I think the main distinction between animals and man, is that God didn't give animals free choice in good verses evil. Jesus didn't die for animals to go to heaven. He died so that humans could gain access to heaven and God. Animals go there automatically. They are all good in my opinion. And if you read the Bible you find numerous passages to support this. This is why God accepted animal sacrifices. Animals are sinless. They don't have that capiblitity of doing wrong like we do. Thus, animals are not capable of having the 'holy spirit'. Only humans have access to that. But animals definitely have soul and spirit. | ||||||
45 | Help. Someone's testamony has me upset | Bible general Archive 1 | chynna | 45259 | ||
Help. My faith isn't shaken, but I'm suddenly questioning everything that brought me to God. Someone posted their testamony on another board yesterday. It was amazing and left me in awe. The man said that while driving to work, he was lifted up out of his car by a bright light and found himself in heaven in front of God. He said that God showed him heaven and then gave him the ability for a moment to think like God so he could understand the reasoning behind everything God created. He said that God told him if he believed in His Son, all that would be his. Then he found himself back in the car, stopped in the middle of a freeway. This supposedly is a man that didn't believe and at the urging of some friends was baptised anyway. He thought the whole thing a joke until this happened. The more I got to thinking about this last night, the more I got to doubting the more subtle things in my life that I attribute to God. I started questioning whether I wanted God to be behind the things that happened and therefore just believed it to be so. I couldn't sleep last night it upset me so. I've worried about it all morning. The things I felt sure where God are suddenly in question for me. I don't like it. | ||||||
46 | A hypothetical question | Bible general Archive 1 | chynna | 47771 | ||
We die and find ourselves awaiting judgement. Jesus is there. God is there. Satan is there. Interestingly enough, they are placing judgement on an unbeliever and you are observing. This soul is more than likely going to hell because they didn't accept Christ. Jesus suddenly turns to you and asks what should be done. You have accepted Christ as your savior and feel certain you are destined for heaven. Would you damn the soul to hell or would you find it in yourself to be merciful? | ||||||
47 | A hypothetical question | Bible general Archive 1 | chynna | 47903 | ||
I thought it was a good question. If you remember, when Mary M was about to be stoned to death, the men turned to Jesus and asked what He would do in that situation. Jesus said the man without sin could throw the first stone. No one tossed a stone. In this case, he deferred the judgement to man. What's so different with the question I asked? Personally I was disappointed with the answers I received. I'm not sure what I wanted to see but the answers say a lot about the person doing the answering. | ||||||
48 | Isaiah Chapter 11 | Bible general Archive 1 | chynna | 62929 | ||
Should Isaiah Chapter 11 verses.....5 through 11 be taken literally or are they symbolic? I was reading some literature from the JWS this past weekend and it was discussing this and appeared to take it literally. Are these verses referring to the 1000 year reign of Christ? | ||||||

50 | Feeling overwhelmed and need direction. | NT general Archive 1 | chynna | 30503 | ||
I've accepted Christ as my savior and I've been baptised. My whole life has been changed in such a positive way. I feel like I'm about to burst with inner peace and happiness. Not sure how else to describe it. But sometimes when I think of the enormity of what's really going on with God and us and everything and my part in it all and my acceptance of Him as my Lord, I have to say I'm a little overwhelmed. I don't have a very good understanding of the Bible, although I'm working on that. Does anyone else feel this way? I feel like I should be doing something important now, but I don't know what. | ||||||
51 | Genesis 4:13 | Genesis | chynna | 32482 | ||
Genesis 4:13 Cain said to the Lord, " My punishment is more than I can bear. Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me." This is a clear statement that Cain has knowledge of other people on earth. I don't know how old he was when he killed Able, but it was before Adam and Eve gave birth to Seth. My question still remains, where did these other people come from and why were Adam and Eve the only ones who lived in the garden of Eden? Considering Adam only lived 130 years and during this time he only had three sons, Cain, Able, and Seth. Do you think there were more people created in the garden of Eden? Or do you think other people existed on earth, but they were not created in God's image? Perhaps this could explain fossils of early man? Perhaps Adam and Eve were the first 'man' and 'woman' God created that had a special relationship with God? |

52 | Question about Genesis 6:6 | Genesis | chynna | 32622 | ||
In Genesis 6:6 The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the Lord said, " I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth - men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air - for I am greived that I have made them." Why was God upset with the animals? What did they do to incur His wrath? |

54 | Having problems with my faith. | Genesis | chynna | 34374 | ||
I'm having an underlying problem with my faith that I need to find closure with. And it stems from my love of animals and God's view of animals. Most christians I speak with view animals as things God gave us to do with however we please. Some things I read in the Bible make me think God really loves animals and then other things make me think He really could care less. Jesus states that God is aware of every death, even that of a sparrow. That makes me think He is very in tune not only to humans but to all His creations. But how does an animal lover accept God's choice of animal sacrifices in light of the fact He knew they wouldn't accomplish what Jesus did? I understand He favors humans over animals because we are made in His image. I've talked to some Christians who tell me to get over my love of animals and to stop trying to make God fit into my view of Him. Is this what I'm trying to do? | ||||||
55 | Adam used to eat from the tree of life? | Genesis | chynna | 35371 | ||
I kind of thought that Adam and Eve ate from the tree of life and had to do so in order to remain immortal. Once they stopped eating from it, they would eventually age. The Bible states the only tree off limits was the one of good and evil. | ||||||

57 | God's motives concerning Adam/Eve | Genesis | chynna | 39578 | ||
Why did God create man on earth, when he cast satan and his followers here first? And why did God place the tree of good and evil in the garden, knowing that satan would see an opportunity to challenge God through Adam and Eve? Do you think God knew Adam and Eve were eventually going to eat from that tree and that was His plan all along? | ||||||
58 | A question about Jonah | Gen 1:1 | chynna | 33664 | ||
I think the story of Jonah is my favorite in the Bible. I can relate to Jonah more than any other individual in the Bible since God chose to show me a very similiar lesson in my life. In Jonah, God chooses to use animals as agents of His message...from the whale that swallowed Jonah to the worm that ate the tree that shelterd Jonah. God has used an animal in my life, as well, to get a very similiar message across to me concerning God's love. I would like some thoughts about the fact God communicates so clearly with animals. Does this mean that they most likely have soul and spirit too? Or does God just set them in position and they have no knowledge of Him? | ||||||

60 | gap between Gensis 1:1 and Gensis 1:2 | Gen 1:2 | chynna | 40478 | ||
You can simply type in 'gap theory' in whatever search engine you use and get tons of information on the subject. You can also type it into the quick search at the top of the screen if you want to search this forum. In Gen 1:2 "The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep". Some think that the earth at this point was already created and in total chaos. In addition, some intrepret that passage "And the earth BECAME without form and void". There are all kinds of thoughts of what happened during the time the earth was created and when it BECAME form and void. But if you believe God created everything in seven days, then this theory can't hold any weight. |
