41 | Admonish law-breakers or not? | Matt 22:17 | iktoose | 146223 | ||
Sad thing is that these cheaters are church officers and bring tithe. And churches don't care how they earn the money as long as money is flowing in. iktoose |

42 | Is Matt 28:19-20 for every Christian? | Matt 28:19 | iktoose | 156898 | ||
Matthew 28:19-20 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit... Is this commandment for every Christian or certain church leaders? iktoose |

43 | Is Matt 28:19-20 for every Christian? | Matt 28:19 | iktoose | 156923 | ||
Steve, Most denominations would not let you administer baptism, communion, or preaching word if you are a lay person. I am just wondering what part of this commandment is for any Christians and for some leaders, if that is spelled out in other text. iktoose |

45 | Two different accounts of the robbers | Luke 23:43 | iktoose | 156976 | ||
In this passage (Luke 23:40-43) we see that one of the robbers was rebuking the other for insulting Jesus. However, Matthew and Mark recorded that both of the two robbers were insulting Jesus. Matt 27:44 The robbers who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him with the same words. Mark 15:32 Let this Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!" Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him. Should we care which account is more accurate? iktoose |

46 | Two different accounts of the robbers | Luke 23:43 | iktoose | 156986 | ||
Okay Mark, Your thinking and approach to this passage is understandable. But one can easily question Luke's writing as Mark and Matthew do not mention the same. Since it is two against one, one could consider Mark and Matthew's writings more accurate. Do you think Mark and Matthew were some distance away from the crosses and Luke was near the crosses? John does not report this at all although I think he was near the cross with Mary. iktoose |

Mark, I am a Bible believing person (every scripture is inspired by God) and I can go with your explanation. How would you convince an agnostic then? iktoose |

48 | Who is "All who came before Me"? | John 10:8 | iktoose | 177002 | ||
John 10:8 reads "All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them." Who did Jesus is referring to here? Who is the "All who came before..."? Also in John 10:12, who is the "He who is a hireling..."? iktoose |

49 | Who is "All who came before Me"? | John 10:8 | iktoose | 177037 | ||
Hi Searcher, Can you be more specific? Who were these people (any name) who came before Jesus? Sounds like Jesus is refering to some other sheperds as the sentence continue with "but the sheep did not hear them (NASB)" or "but the (true) sheep did not listen to and obey them (Amplified)." iktoose |

50 | Who is "All who came before Me"? | John 10:8 | iktoose | 177039 | ||
Hi Searcher, John 10 tells us that Jesus is one and only true shepherd, right? Then who is a hireling? iktoose |

51 | Who is "All who came before Me"? | John 10:8 | iktoose | 177086 | ||
Hi daisey, Welcome to the forum. When I read the passage, I got the same sense that you just expressed. However, I could not connect it to anyone (historical figure) who came before Him that claimed to be the Christ. I read the entire Bible several times, yet I did not find a person that fits the description. That is why I asked the question. Hoping folks here on this forum might shed some light. iktoose |

52 | Mary's annoint precede Lazarus ressurec? | John 11:2 | iktoose | 177109 | ||
John 11:2 seems to suggest that Mary's annointing of Jesus (John 12:3) preceded the ressurection of Lazarus. What confuses me is that the event depicted in John 12:3 actually took place only 6 days before the Passover as evidenced in John 12:1. A similar event is also depicted in Matt 26:7, which occurred 2 days before the Passover. Mattew's account is slightly different in that the woman (no name mentioned) poured the perfume on Jesus' head vice His feet (which is John's account). My questions are: (1) Did the annointing precede the Lazarus ressurrection? (2) Are these annointing events (Matt 26:7 and John 12:3) two separate events? iktoose |

53 | Why did Jesus encourage to betray? | John 13:27 | iktoose | 145014 | ||
A non-believer asked this question about John 13:27. If our God is God of love, why did He encourage Judas to betray Him by saying "What you do, do quickly"? How can I answer this? Pls help. | ||||||
54 | Why did Jesus encourage to betray? | John 13:27 | iktoose | 145055 | ||
Thanks Angel for great insights. Just a quick note to what you stated, "It was also appointed, in Scripture, that one of His own would betray Him (John 6:64, 70-71; 13:2, 10-11, 21-30; 17:12; 13:18; Acts 1:16-17, 20; Psalm 41:10, 55:12-14)... Judas, though one of the twelve, was chosen for the purpose of betraying His Master... just as Jesus did not reject His task (John 12:27; 3:14-15; Isaiah 52:13 thru 53:12), it was required that Judas betray Him in order for the fulfillment of the Scripture!" If this statement is valid, I think Judas had no choice but to play the role of betrayer. Some responded that Judas was given ample opportunity to reverse the course. If he did, that would have jeopardized His Devine plan, not? |

55 | Why did Jesus encourage to betray? | John 13:27 | iktoose | 145209 | ||
Thank you Angel for more than I can handle insights, I am force-feeding myself to digest what you said here. You said " I have no right to exclude Judas from gaining salvation, neither does anyone else... " I think Jesus said that Judas would have been better off if he was not born. Based on that, I can assume he went to hell for doing a part of the Devine plan. If you believe in Jesus, you are saved. If you don't, you go to hell, correct? | ||||||

58 | See through Stephen's vision? | Acts 7:55 | iktoose | 144963 | ||
The book of Acts is written by Luke, I am told. I was intrigued by verse 7:55. Since Stephen who saw the glory of God and Jesus died just after this, how could Luke got this passage recorded. Did he see this through Stephen's vision? | ||||||
59 | Why Phillip not lay hand Samaritans? | Acts 8:12 | iktoose | 145005 | ||
Out of the miry clay, According to your note, I got the impression that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is something above and beyond one's salvation experience and it is some sort of special power given to some selected believers for furthering the gospel, correct? If so, I have another question. Why then Phillip having the power to heal sicks and chase out demon-spirited (sounds like he had the power of Apostle) could not (or did not) lay his hand for these Samaritans to receive the Holy Spirit? |
||||||
60 | Spirit Baptism | Acts 8:12 | iktoose | 145011 | ||
Prayon, Thank you for your insights. Your reply prompted me few more questions: (1) The Spirit Baptism (if different from salvation) recommended for all believers? (2) Through whom we should receive this, obviously through someone laying hand on you? Since we have no Apostles now, the Spirit baptism no longer available? (3) How this Spirit baptism compares with the term "filled with the Spirit"? | ||||||
