41 | Wife learning to control tongue......... | Bible general Archive 1 | popdzl | 38696 | ||
The epistle of James has a wealth of wisdom on controling the tongue. The Book of Proverbs is also a vast storehouse on righteous living. Consider both of these (especially Prov 27:19) when having discussions with your husband or anyone else for that matter. Also, Joyce Meyer has a book out called, "Me and My Big Mouth," which expounds on the significance and practice (all bibilically-based) of controling the mouth. | ||||||
42 | How sinful is "fallen away"? | Mark 4:16 | popdzl | 38688 | ||
I'm sorry Zach, I should have said "level of GRACE on which Hebrews 6:4-6 speaks." Faith is determined by whether or not a person succumbs without question or comment to the will of God. Trust is the underlying foundation of faith. As long as we keep the commandments, judgements, and testimonies of the Lord and repent if we do not, we will not fall out of grace. As our faith grows, the more grace that shall be given unto us. I appreciate your question whereas it shows how important it to select wording which would not be confusing or inhibiting to people who are trying to reconcile their faith in God. Thanks and may God bless popdzl |

43 | WAS JESUS GOD ON EARTH TOO OR JUSTMAN | Ps 8:5 | popdzl | 38674 | ||
The flesh is man's sinful nature, and as Jesus was in the flesh, he shared that nature. However, that is not to say that he sinned. As seen in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, he was tempted by Satan through the flesh but did not succumb to those temptations. I say he was not good because good is a relative term. One can be a good man, priest, or writer, yet that does not preclude one from being a sinner. Just because Jesus slept during the storm does not mean he was so much a man that he was tired; even God rested on the seventh day. His sleeping exemplifies the faith that one should have during times of tribulation. Instead of running around and panicking like everyone else on the boats, we are to take comfort in the Lord and move when and where as He tells us. Continue reading, but let us not read to have our convictions and beliefs edified but to find the truth in all that we seek. |

44 | More evidence | Job 40:15 | popdzl | 38304 | ||
Heapshake, be of good cheer for I have the answer (or so I'd like to think.) The passage is talking about the cedar as whole, specifically the trunk which is more flexible compared with other trees which grow as tall and wide as cedars, e.g. the oak tree. | ||||||
45 | WAS JESUS GOD ON EARTH TOO OR JUSTMAN | Ps 8:5 | popdzl | 38287 | ||
Jesus is not Good; He is righteous. I believe that the scripture is referring to the fact that Jesus walked the earth in the flesh. In doing so, He was made a little lower than the angels because the flesh is man's sinful nature. | ||||||
46 | What does humility mean for the believer | Acts 7:51 | popdzl | 38211 | ||
For the believer it means doing the will of the Lord. As believers, the Lord has instructed us in the ways we as believers should carry ourselves emotionally, physically, and mentally. Some of these ways are not natural to us as individuals, in those instances we must humble ourselves and do as we have been instructed. In some cases, the Lord may be personally instructing us to do something; as humble believers, we do it. Study the word "stiff-necked" (the opposite of humility) throughout the Bible and you might be able to get a clearer understanding of what humility should mean to the believer. | ||||||
47 | What is the "NAME" of that church...? | Acts 2:44 | popdzl | 38208 | ||
The problem, my friend, is that everybody confines their thoughts of "church" to physical buildings and such. However, Jesus taught, if two or more are gathered in his name then there is church. But, due to greed, anger, and delusion, a mind set has developed in which people believe that if they are not in a building called a church, then they are not in church. Much of this has to do with the Church as an organization. | ||||||

49 | How sinful is "fallen away"? | Mark 4:16 | popdzl | 38195 | ||
Hey Reformer Joe- In reference to your question, I would like to say that "fallen away" (Mark 4:16) which Zach writes about in his question or note (I'm really unclear which it was) is not the same as Hebrew 6:4-6. In Mark 4:16, Jesus says that the Word is "fallen away" from those who have received the Word with joy and gladness, but in times of difficulty do not abide by the Word. He is not saying that they are fallen away because of sin; he is saying that because they have no faith, they do not trust in and abide by the Word in difficulty just as a seed sown on hard ground will "fall away" when a hard wind or rain comes along. Compare the ground or soil to the heart, the Word to a seed, and adversity to anything which would hinder a growing seedling and you may be able to get a clearer idea of what the whole parable (and any other comparison or parable dealing with seeds, plants, etc.) is conveying as far as a person receiving the teachings of Christ. As far as Hebrews 6:4-6 goes, note that the passage states that a person who has become enlightened (not just saved) and such can not fall away and come back by repentence. Here we have a different situation from Mark 4:16. Hebrews speaks on some one who has followed the path and gained gifts, fruits, and powers inherent on attaining certain "distance" on the path but who then "falls away" in the sense of turning away from the path or denouncing/renouncing the path not in the sense of a saved person sinning. However, to one who has attained that level of enlightenment and such, sinning would be an act of denouncing the path. In this instance there is no repentence because that person would be mocking God. To answer the first two parts of your question, all we must do to stay in grace is have lasting trust and faith in the Word. This implies doing the will of God and repenting if we transgress. Unless we reach the level of faith on which Hebrews 6:4-6 speaks, we will never fall out of grace if we repent. However, this touches on Rev 3:14-19 on being lukewarm which is an abomination to the Lord. If you do not know already, to God, one sin is just as bad as another. There is no scale of relativity in that matter. |

50 | Who else besides Cain, Adam, and Eve? | Genesis | popdzl | 37632 | ||
Emmaus, the key here is when did the "Fall" occur. It would also be beneficial to note that any creator will create a blueprint of sorts to be used over. | ||||||
51 | Who else besides Cain, Adam, and Eve? | Genesis | popdzl | 37622 | ||
Joe, I admit, I do not understand from whence you come. Please refer to the verses given in my original response and actually read them with clarity of vision. In my NKJV it plainly states that before there was vegetation and life on the earth, God created for himself a garden and created Adam to tend to it. Later, he created Eve to be Adams helper/partner/assistant. It says that plants were created on the earth on the fourth day, therefore, if Eden was created before there was any vegetation on the earth, and Adam was created in the same day as Eden, then Adam (and Eve) were created before the rest of humanity which clearly was created on the sixth day. Please drop some scripture on me or other scholarly materials. Thx |

52 | Explain Hebrew letters used in Psalm 119 | Psalm | popdzl | 37619 | ||
Brother Tim, thank you for touching on the "taboo" subject of occultism. The word "occult" and its derivitives comes from the Latin word meaning hidden. I believe that one of the main actions which Christ would have his disciples do is seek; if one is seeking it goes to stand that what is being sought is hidden. Ultimately, I feel (as far as the occult thing goes) that a statement, belief, or teaching should be investigated and proven or disproved on its own merit and not on the connotations of society. Remember, when Jesus walked the earth, those who followed Him were deemed as being in a cult. Pray, seek, and ask for it will be given. To start (or rather follow up) your search, refer to Strong's Concordance, Hebrew-Chaldee dictionary, listing 504. I admit, I have never taken a formal Hebrew class, but I have been college-educated in Latin and Greek as well as English. It has come to my attention that institutions and their ilk will teach what is profitable for them and for their support infrastructure. I am hurt to say that religion in general and Christianity in particular has turned towards the ways of secular institutions, i.e. corporate business, government, and education. Many people blindly follow what they have been taught and believe it to be true without examining the whole situation. Therefore, when you found these meanings to be associated with "occultism", how did you feel? I can speculate, but only you and God know. Now, I am not condoning what would be commonly referred to as occult activities i.e. astrology, tarot, i ching, etc., but I am not condemning them either. All I am saying is that the knowledge which today would be considered occult was considered open during OT and NT times in most cases. It is our duty as scholars in Christ to seek what of this knowledge is right and good in the sight of the Lord for us to posses and to use. Peace be unto you and yours. |

54 | explain the first four verses of luke 4 | Luke | popdzl | 37330 | ||
The first four verses of Luke 4 is the beginning of the temptation of Christ. After God sent the Holy Ghost to fill Christ, the Holy Ghost led Jesus to the wilderness in order to be tested. (God tests us all in all sorts of manner to see if we are worthy of His gifts.) Satan thus began to test him by tempting him to use His heveanly gifts; had He done so, it would not have made him a fit sacrifice for the sins of man, and thus blocking our way to salvation. | ||||||
55 | Who else besides Cain, Adam, and Eve? | Genesis | popdzl | 16209 | ||
Yes there were other people. Adam was created before the end of the third day,Gen 2:5-7, however he did not live on the earth he lived in Eden. Gen 1:26-31 shows that the rest of mankind was created on the sixth day and inhabited the earth. | ||||||
56 | Please explain the verse? | 1 Kings | popdzl | 37319 | ||
Exactly Hank; one cannot serve any master whole-heartedly without faith in that master. Therefore, Elijah is saying choose your master, but have faith in that which you choose. In the vernacular of the day, he is saying be hardcore to the bone. | ||||||
57 | Explain Hebrew letters used in Psalm 119 | Psalm | popdzl | 37315 | ||
Hebrew letters are holy symbols. Their significance in Ps 119 is that each "paragraph" is a meditation on the symbolical meaning of the letter. Therefore, in the meditation on aleph, which means "ox", we have imagery of being directed or led on a path much as an ox is directed or led by its master. Here is a list of the meanings of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. You can use it to draw your own images: Aleph- ox Beth- house Gimel- camel Daleth- door He- window Vau- hook, pin Zayin- sword or armor Cheth- fence, enclosure Teth- serpent Yod- hand Kaph- fist Lamed- ox goad Mem- water Nun- fish Samekh- prop, foundation Ayin- eye Peh- mouth Tzaddi- fishhook Quoph- ear. back of the neck Resh- head Shin- tooth Tau- cross |

58 | where can i locate jehovah, jehovah jir | Genesis | popdzl | 37305 | ||
Those terms are in Genesis scattered throughout. The stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob contain most of the uses of those terms. Pay attention to the naming of wells, encampments, and cities which any of these three may have founded or visited. As God would manifest something, they would name the place after the manifestation, e.g. One city, Luz, was renamed Beth-el,the house of God, because Jacob saw angels ascending to and descending from heaven and spoke with God there. | ||||||
59 | predestination - free will or God | John | popdzl | 11925 | ||
Matthew 6:24, Luke 15:11-21, 1Sam. 15:1-9. God does choose which ones of us that he wants, but he does not get us by force. We have the free choice of obeying or disobeying just as children. However, God is merciful and just; so if any of us who have disobeyed decide to accept him, he will accept us as we are and then work with us to become what he would like us to be. Once we have accepted him in our hearts, he will bestow gifts upon us peace being one of them and that is the seed of faith. | ||||||
60 | What was Jesus writing? | John | popdzl | 27020 | ||
What he was writing is inconsequential to the answering of the people; He did that because he knew the hearts of the people. They really were not concerned with the sin or punishment of the lady; they only wanted to trip up Jesus in His teachings using His own words. However, He was not writing down their sins as there was no judgement given. | ||||||
