Greeting Kalos and thanks, one more question; how much following? |

43 | I have a research question. | Not Specified | kw5kw | 163445 | ||
I'm reading a lot, but I don't understand some of the footnoting. I know that cf. means to 'see' or 'refer to' and what the other common things such as ibid and opcit. But, what does the f. mean in a passage that I'm reading like this: "The real conflict came between James' faction and Paul's followers, who may have been more liberal than James (note Gal. 2:4f.)..." (from "Illustrated Manners and Customs of the Bible" page 395c ((upper R.H. quadrant of the page like Strong's refers to Thayer's Lexicon.)) In some cases there's just an f. some there's an ff and sometimes it seems that there's other letters used as well. Could somebody please shed some light on this for me. Thanks, Russ |

Can anyone give me the background information behind Paul's writing of Galatians? The history, the situations, who was the preacher of the 'other gospel' etc. I have heard that this preacher was Peter, any comments on that? Yea or nay? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Russ |

49 | God'love has made salvation to be free | Eph 2:8 | kw5kw | 156994 | ||
Else one could boast that one could give 15 Billion dollars to the victims of Hurricant Katrina and be able to buy their way in. That's why it (salvation) is not of what man does, with the only exception of the one act of accepting Jesus as your saviour. Everything else is a work... your salvation is by faith, faith in the Lord. God then provides His Grace and sends the Holy Spirit to circumcise your heart. Works, from there on out, should reflect your new life in Christ. Giving to orphants, and widows, the homeless and misplaced. Now, your gift of 15 Billion dollars is a work of faith, instead of salvation. His Grace is given freely... all you have to do is to accept it. |

50 | where does sin begin, heart or mind? | Matt 5:27 | kw5kw | 156991 | ||
The devil tempts you thru your ear, your internal ear, your mind. He is able to communicate to you via your thoughts, just as God does. He tells you to do something, that it won't hurt. He knows the how, when, where and how of what to tempt you with, and he uses all of that knowledge against you to get you to move away from worshiping God. I know that the closer you are to God, the more time the devil spends with you. He does this to draw you away from the glory of God. To get you to sin, to get you to feel guilty about the sin(s), to tell you that God hates a sinner, and therefore God hates you. For we are not unaware of the wiles of the devil, (2Co 2:11) you need to put on the full armor of God to protect yourself. (Eph 6:11-18) No, the sin's don't begin simply upon a thought of something. For those thoughts are put there by Satan. The sin occurs when you act upon those thoughts. In Mat 5:27-28, Jesus teaches you that you can sin by lusting about a woman in your thoughts. Well, yes you can, but the simple thought is placed by none other than Satan. It is how you continue with that thought that would be the sin. Simply seeing can produce the thought, but look away saves you from the sin. The sin that would be produced in your heart. Mat 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. |

51 | So these were Noahs people??? | Gen 19:24 | kw5kw | 156414 | ||
Just as we are all decended from Adam... we are also all decended from Noah. For God destroyed every living thing with the flood. Gen 7:23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. |

52 | what is Sodom and Gomorrah? | Gen 19:24 | kw5kw | 156402 | ||
Simply put, the two cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were the epimidy of how low the human race had sunk... again. After God had destroyed the entire earth with the flood, and only Noah and his family had survived, it didn't take long for man to become wicked once again. We first see Sodom wickedness when Abram sets out to free Lot from Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him. Genesis Chapter 14. Abram freed his nephew, Lot, and defeated Chedorlaomer and his allies. At that time Melchizedek, the king of Salem (Jerusalem), came out to bless Abram. At this belessing, Abram gave Melchizedek 10 percent of his 'bounty'. The king of Sodom wanted the people that Abram had captured... for what matter we can only imagine. Abram told him no. Then in Genesis Chapter 18, we once again find Sodom and Gomorrah in the pages of the Bible. This time, we find out how wicked they'd become. Gen 18:20 And the LORD said, "Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; Gen 18:21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know." Abram (now Abraham) pleeded with the Lord not to destroy the two sinful cities, not for 50 righteous, then 45, then 40, then 20, then 10, then 5. God told Abraham that He would not destroy them if he could find just five righteous people there. The rest of the story is in Genesis Chapter 19... He didn't, although he found Lot and led him and his two daughters to safety. His wife disobeyed the Lord's orders not to look back, and she was turned into a pillar of salt. That's the shortened story, hope that helped. Russ |

53 | Bible story on not accepting negativity? | 1 Cor 8:1 | kw5kw | 156139 | ||
I've always taken James 3:13-18 as dealing with negativity. While the word 'negative' is not listed in the bible, I feel that it is implied in these verses. For the Bible says: "Two Kinds of Wisdom 13Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. 16For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. 17But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness. Put this together with 3John:11 : 11Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God. |

55 | second or third coming??? | Titus 2:13 | kw5kw | 155844 | ||
I think what LIVE4GOD and LSmith are asking is not about the rapture, but is indeed talking about the 1000year reign of Christ. The before and after of the 1000 year reign so mentioned in scripture. Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, This being after the Second comming of our Lord, then... Rev 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. "Reigned with Christ a thousand years", the thousand year millenium reign of Christ after His second comming, then... Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and the final comming (third???) of God and his Judgement. Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. If you look at this one way, the First comming was when Jesus walked the earth 2000 years ago. Second comming, with the rapture and... then binding Satan for 1000 years then the third comming and the final judgement. I'm confused as well Russ |

57 | Paid ministry | Rom 10:9 | kw5kw | 155744 | ||
Obi 1... The paid minestry goes all the way back to the time of Moses. When Moses led the Isralites out of bondage, God set up some special rules, you might have heard of them... they're called the 10 commandments. You can find them in Exodus chapter 20. Reading on in the book of Exodus, you will find that God gave the Isralites a bunch of rules, cultural rules and worship rules. The 12 tribes of Israel were also divided up into seperate areas, one to lead, one to follow, one to always be on the left, one to be always on the left, etc. And one to handle the worship of God and to carry the ark. Deu 10:8 At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day. We find by reading further: Deu 18:1-8 The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance. Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them. And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him. For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever. And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose; Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD. They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony. " So the tribe of Levi had no land, no other way to sustain themselves. God had made them dependant upon the offerings of the rest of Israel. God got his offerings, and the tribe of Levi were sustained by God through the offerings of the people. This is why our ministers are paid by the church. This is why our ministers should not have an outside job. Your Brother in Christ, Russ |

58 | is masturbation a sin??? | Prov 1:1 | kw5kw | 155740 | ||
I'm going to re-post my original answer so you don't have to go searching for it: Yes masturbation is a sexual sin. Ephesians 5:3 ?But among you there must not be either sexual immorality, impurity of any kind, or greed, as these are not fitting for the saints.? (Net Bible) Ephesians 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; (KJV) Ephesians 5:3 But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; (NASB) Ephesians 5:3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God?s holy people. (NIV) This is the major verse that says masturbation is a sin! I have given you four examples from four different translations. I like the way they all say it, but the NIV really puts it into words that mortal man can understand the best because that version says ? ?holy people.? I think if we?re saved then we become Holy. (Lets save this for another thread, ok guys, don?t jump on me for not posting a scripture reference about this here, I?m concentrating on sexual impurity here, thanks anyway for thinking about it though.). For Jesus said in Matthew 5:26 ?You have heard that it was said, ?Do not commit adultery.? 27 ?But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.? (NIV) This says anything that gives you the hint of thinking of taking a woman (or man for that matter) to bed is a sin. What else is masturbation? You just don?t have that object of your sexual desire to consummate the act, so you improvise. You have sinned according to God?s law. I want to let you know that you are not alone in this. Most men have done this. I?ll admit that I have. I knew that it was a sin. I was pointed to a book by God. I picked this book up several times in the Christian bookstore that I now frequent. Finally, while watching Charles Stanley one Sunday morning he was doing the a series on the ?Landmines in the Path of the Believer? This one was the first one on pride. It caused me to go to his web site and do an expanded study of his word. The whole series was there and there is one on Landmines in the Path of the Believer: Part Four - Sexual Sins . I opened the link and started reading. There he reverences the same book that I?d picked up and put back down several times. ?Every Man?s Battle? by Stephen Arterburn. I read this page with zeal. I went out and purchased the book, and read it in two and a half days. For you see I had the same problem you stated you have. I have learned thru proper scripture listed in the book, how to avoid any temptations in the modern world. I wish I had that book with me, but I left it at home, and I?m at work writing this to you. 1 Corinthians 6:13 ?? The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.? This is very true. Learn how to not look at a woman for anything but a person, not as an object of sexual desire. Remember Matthew 5:26-27 once again. If you even look at a woman lustfully, then you are sinning. Don?t see a woman and take a ?free peek? down her blouse, it?s a sin. Don?t open a door for a woman so that you might watch her walk, that?s a sin. Open the door to be courteous, then look away. Look at the floor, look at the ceiling, don?t watch her ?wiggle?. If the Coors twins come on during the NFL game you?re watching, don?t look, change the channel for 60 seconds. Don?t watch shows like ?Desperate Housewife?s? that are full of sexual content, watch a religious station instead. Don?t pick up a Playboy, or any magazine similar to or worse than, for any reason. Avoid sexual web sites and binary newsgroups, as they will lead to eternal damnation. Romans 13:13 ?Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.? (NIV) Yes, by all means live a pure life, it can be done. I?ve learned to not look at a woman in a lustful nature. I don?t pick up the newspaper?s Sunday morning papers ads any more, you?ll understand after you read the book (?Every Man?s Battle?) about this. Lets look at Galatians 5:19: Here Paul states what the sins are, you notice what?s first ?The acts of the sinful nature are obvious, sexual immorality,?? and if you can 1 Thessalonians 5:22 ?Avoid every kind of evil.? Then you can start on your way to redemption. God will help you through this problem. You can stop, you will stop, as I will pray for you. As stated in Titus 2: 11? For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 12 It teaches us to say ?No? to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.? Amen. I hope this will help you, Your brother in Christ, Russ |

59 | do angels sing? if so, what ch./verse | Rev 5:11 | kw5kw | 155739 | ||
Greetings Bows44, Hope you are having a good day. Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. I've been taught that there were four types of spirit beings that God created: 1. Archangel 2. Angel 3. Seraph (Seraphim) 4. Cherub (Cherubim) If (And I believe that this is talking about Satan, just as you do.) this is talking about Satan, then Satan wasn't an angel but a Cherub. The Cherubim were placed outside the garden of eden to guard it so Adam and Eve could not re-enter and eat of the tree of life. They are described in Eze 1:5-11 "Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass. And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies." This same discription is repeated in Rev 4:7-9. They Ride on and illustrate the magjesty of God 2Sa 22:11 and their wings sound like the voice of God Eze 10:5. In Rev 5, the beasts are cherubs. So if what you are refering to here as singing, then Cherub sing, but still not clear about the angels themselves. Your brother, Russ |

Oh, you bet they do. If there is a ham on board that is. Most astronauts are hams so most of the time there is a ham radio on board. No, all I'm trying to say, I think that would make a really cool sermon illustration. Much like Spurgeon's Niagara Falls and the rope... Sermon # 107 "Faith". Russ |
