41622 | Jesus at God's Right Hand. | Mark 16:19 | bcbloyd | 1399 | ||
I've often heard the following used to challenge the deity of Jesus: What about Jesus at the "right hand" of God? I'd like to offer the following in response... [The subject, of course, is open to further debate/discussion] I think the fact that Jesus is "exalted to the Right Hand of God" is further clarification of his identity as God or in other words... God's "Right Hand." Just look at what the Bible says about that "Right Hand": Psalms 89:13 "Thou hast a strong arm; Thy hand is mighty, Thy right hand is exalted." and Psalms 98:1 "O Sing to the Lord a new song, For He has done wonderful things, His right hand and His holy arm have gained the victory for Him." Other verses pertaining to God's arm include: Isaiah 48:13 "My own hand laid the foundations of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens..." Compare that to the verses about Christ in Col 1:15-16 and Heb 1:10. Then there's Isaiah 51:5 "My righteousness draws near speedily, my salvation is on the way, and my ARM will bring justice to the nations. The islands will look to me and WAIT in HOPE FOR MY ARM" Compare that to Titus 2:13 "while we WAIT FOR THE BLESSED HOPE--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, JESUS Christ." (emphasis in both quotes mine) See also Isaiah 52:10 "The LORD will lay bare his holy ARM in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the SALVATION of our God." Compare that to 1 Peter 5-7,13 in which the "SALVATION that is ready to be REVEALED in the last days" is identified as none other than "JESUS Christ." Then there's the whole chapter of Isaiah 53, which begins with "Who has believed our message and to whom has the ARM of the LORD been REVEALED? HE grew up before him like a tender shoot...the will of the LORD will prosper in his HAND... [emphasis mine] Interesting, no? |

41625 | If our answers relied on Scripture alone | Hebrews | kalos | 1358 | ||
On this website in general, but in particular on the questions of election and eternal security, I've seen FEW Scripture verses and MUCH "logic" or human reasoning. I've seen few answers that rely primarily on what the RELEVANT Scriptures actually say, when taken in context and compared to all other passages on the same topic. . . . Hypothetically, IF our answers were limited to quoting Scripture with a minimum of our own commentary added, would most of us be left with any sort of answer at all? |

41626 | Explanation acceptable? | Revelation | charis | 1353 | ||
So, HeirofGod, was my (possible) explanation of how cults view the 144k acceptable? Your use of 'virgins' was number 4 in my Websters, so correct, but a bit unorthodox :-) I also understand a bit about these people, but certainly not ALL. Blessings in Christ Jesus. | ||||||

41629 | Ideal, but prerequisite? | 1 Timothy | charis | 1329 | ||
Dear JMR, I detect a strong polarization in the answers to the above question. I agree that the scriptures in Matthew and I Corinthians present a strong argument for unmarried leaders. However, I see them as ideals, and possibly advice to 'those who are able,' not 'guidelines for ministry' or the 'rules of clergy.' Other scriptures clearly talk of ministers being husbands of one wife. What do you think of my above comments about the difference between the study of marriage and family and the experience? Forbidding marriage and requiring abstinence also has its dangers. How do you justify the lack of options? It seems the Bible gave ministers the option of choosing their course. Understand that I mean no disrespect. The theory of 'marriage to the church' is honorable and Biblical, but not prerequisite to service to God. Finally, it is true that Jesus did not marry, and He IS the ultimate ideal. But the Lord was without sin, above temptation, and had perfect knowledge, wisdom and insight. Though His Spirit works in us, we do not have 'command' over these things as He did. Using the example of Christ is invalid in this instance. I look forward to hearing your comments. Blessings in Christ Jesus. | ||||||
41630 | What do YOU think? | Haggai | charis | 1327 | ||
OK, no biting, melchizedekau. What do YOU think? 1)about Haggai? 2)about my answer? I am also interested in knowing the ideas and opinions of those in Christ, that the Holy Spirit would use them to teach me, too. Blessings in Jesus. | ||||||
41631 | Is Jesus God? | John 1:1 | jg8ball | 1311 | ||
Can anyone show me any passages that show that Jesus is God? A friend of mine believes that Jesus is the Son of God but not God (and the Holy Spirit is the action of God but not God). I've shown him many verses but most can also be interpreted as separate individuals (for example: I baptize you in the name of the Father and in the Son, and in the Holy Spirit could be interpreted as baptizing in the name of the three separate entities.) I've also shown him the classic John 1:1 and similar verses but he interprets it at Jesus and God think alike, have the same mission, similar in nature, etc... Is there something in the Bible that very simply and cleary says that the Three are one? To me there are many verses that state this clearly, but to him, they state something completely different. |

41632 | What is the point? | 1 Thessalonians | charis | 1306 | ||
Why would you want to? Dear EveryHome, I am not making fun of you, or making light of your question. I simply think that examining one's motives for pursuing this is a good thing. I am not Pre-trib, Mid-trib, Post-trib, or even Rapture with a capital 'R,' so I won't be trying to convince you of any of these. I cannot see that any one of these 'theories' is carries the weight of Biblical certainty. I have studied extensively these since watching a movie that had elements of all of these, almost 20 years ago. My conclusion is that, though the topic is worthy of investigation, focusing on it is a diversion. In fact, to some it is a trap and a fixation. Why would you wan to spend a lot of time looking into something that has been expressly hidden from us? "Take heed, keep on the alert; for you do not know when the appointed time is." Mark 13:33 I look at the context of this and get from it that we are not to go around looking for signs, investigating every earthquake and war. Nor are we to say, "Here is Jesus!" and everyone flocks to this place and that, seeking a 'special' blessing or understanding. No one fellow, group, or place will have a 'special' knowledge of the coming of Christ. Period. Instead, live your life for Christ, NOW! Obey His commandments where He has set you. Preach the Good News that He is Lord, and He will return, not about the return. As I look into the Bible, I can see no 'special' thing we can do to prepare for a rapture of any kind, except to live in Christ to the fullest of the faith-gift given us. All else is diversion and vanity. The phrase 'so heaven-bound that they are no earthly good' applies to many who know 'all' about the end times, but their Christian lives are in a shambles. The good books on the 'end-times' and 'rapture' will give you a overview of the scriptures, Old Testament and New Testament, but then tell you the same thing, "So...Live in Jesus!" That is the 'bottom line.' Blessings in Jesus' name! |

41633 | Predestination vs free will--a thought.. | Bible general Archive 1 | bcbloyd | 1308 | ||
Just a bit of logical reasoning about the issue of "predestination" vs "free will." I've seen many who question as an either-or proposition a person's fate by God's "predestination" with a person's "free will" to determine his/her own fate. I don't think these things are contradictory and I can't help but consider how this may be applied to Jesus, himself. I mean the Bible points to the fact his fate on the cross was predetermined (See Isaiah 53:5)--God knew what would happen and gave that information to the prophets, such as Isaiah, centuries in advance--and yet, Jesus still had the free will to sacrifice himself on the cross. (See John 10:18) So, I think the same applies to us. God KNOWS who will and will not follow Him in advance--thus, in that sense our fates are predestined--but, the choice is still ours to freely make, just as it was with Jesus. Would anyone else like to comment on this? |

41636 | Are Christians commanded to eat meat? | 1 Corinthians | shorty | 1300 | ||
I know God ordained the killing of animals for food, but our way of doing it today is inhumane. Is it a sin not to eat meat? Are we commanded to eat meat? Did Jesus eat unclean foods and/or meat? | ||||||
41637 | How can we influence who is saved? | 1 Pet 2:9 | Dud M3 | 1270 | ||
I'm having difficulty understanding both this verse and the purpose of evangelism from a Calvinistic interpretation (do I understand that correctly?) If God in his wisdom has already chosen those whom will be saved, then, what is the point of sharing the Gospel with others? I understand that Jesus commands us to do so, and that is reason enough for me. But intellectually, I must admit to asking, "Why bother? Some will be saved, some won't, I can't change what God has preordained." What a depressing thought! Or, ought I find inspiration in that thought? | ||||||
41638 | Unmarried men pastors? | 1 Timothy | Dud M3 | 1269 | ||
Perhaps I'm misinterpreting, but it seems to me that the Bible recommends that church leaders be married men with one wife. The Catholic denomination permits unmarried men to be leaders, and other denominations permit women to become leaders. Are they in harmony with the Bible's teachings? | ||||||
41639 | Women speak in church? | 1 Cor 14:34 | Dud M3 | 1268 | ||
Do denominations that permit women to speak in church, or even to become pastors, follow the Bible? How shall we interpret this verse, if not literally? | ||||||
41640 | The headship of Christ | Col 3:17 | 1259 | |||
If you were a Bible translator and wished to interpret a meaning by use of capitalization, would you capitalize the h of the three times that the word "head" appears? See Col. 1:18, 2:l0, and 2:19. Thanks. Ray V.H. | ||||||
