421 | Is it true...? | Matt 18:12 | stjohn | 198937 | ||
Hello E. J.M. A warm welcome to the forum! See verse above: Absolutely! Once you are saved you are no longer your own you are one of His sheep. John 10:11 "I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. John 10:14 "I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me, I don't know about you but I'm glad I'm just a stupid sheep! When I hear His voice, I'm goin! :-) Luke 15:20 "So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. God bless Brother, John |

422 | another try | Gen 1:27 | stjohn | 198932 | ||
Ok I'll try, but I must say I don't share your confusion, maybe if we just lift out (male and female He created them?) As sometimes referred to as (my better half) by men, in marriage, (and rightly so I think) women are, in my humble opinion, indeed the better half of man, (Or maybe we should say "mankind"?) I'v heard it said that, "if man is dust refined, woman is indeed, dust twice refined!" why else would He give woman the ability to have a life created in her womb, and after the pain and suffering of birth still have the loving heart to care so lovingly and carefully, for their and God's children. I don't think men would do it ! At least not more then once! :-) Society and civilization, if you want to call it civilized, through history have given women a very bad reputation and a pretty bad deal, if you ask me! And I believe that may be part, at least, of the root problem of the confusion about what the Bible actually says about who was created in "God's image", personally I think it is very clear that God is most certainly referring to man as, mankind in general, (i.e. men AND women). Oh yes! God most certainly created, THEM/US, Male and female ("Too the weak and the penitent He has a mothers heart") in His image! I hope that helps you. God bless John |

423 | Are women made in the image of God? | Gen 1:27 | stjohn | 198929 | ||
Hello lacygene, Welcome to the forum! I hope these verses clear it up for you. Emphasis in (brackets) is mine. God bless John Gen 1:26a Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let (them) rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth," Gen 1:27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; (male and female) He created (them). Gen 1:28a God blessed (them); and God said to (them), "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth," |

425 | Cain and Abel | Gen 4:1 | stjohn | 198914 | ||
Hi lowens, Welcome to the forum! It's quite clear sense the devil is not a man that he is defiantly NOT Cain's father, and, sense, the "man" being referred to (in the prior chapter) is Adam, then it is certain that, Adam, is the father of Cain. It doesn't look like they were twins ether. God bless John Gen 4:1 Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, "I have gotten a manchild with the help of the LORD." Gen 4:2 Again, she gave birth to his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. |

428 | Hosea abandoned then re-welcomed by God? | Hosea | stjohn | 198899 | ||
Hello Dietrich, Welcome to the forum! Of all the commentaries I'v read on Hoesa, I think Darby's synopsis tells it pretty well, without getting too involved and complicated, as some, (actually most,) seem to do on this particular book of Scripture. Here's a link for ya, I hope it helps you. http://eword.gospelcom.net/comments/hosea/darby/hosea1.htm God bless John |

430 | Jacob or Joseph? | Deut 26:5 | stjohn | 198789 | ||
Hi budderfligh, It's often found in the Scripture, that the name Jacob is used as a term that means The Nation Israel in a general sense. God often does this throughout the Bible. Here are just a very few examples fond in Psalms. Ps 14:7, 22:23, 53:6, 78:5, 78:21, 78:71, 81:4, 105:10, 105:23, 114:1, Also; Num 23:7, 23:10, 23:21, 23:23 You may want to do a word search. Put the words (Jacob Israel) in the search box to the right of this page. You will see that Jacob is very often used synonymously with Israel. I hope that helped. God bless John |

432 | . God, who is omnipotent, could have us | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 198668 | ||
Hi jingjing, Welcome to the forum! That is a good question. I think though that we do have something pretty extraordinary, 66 books, God's Word. God the creator of all, has given us all we need to get to know Him. Thats pretty amazing don't you think? And in it are histories and wonderful true stories of many truly extraordinary events, and yet He has given all this to ordinary men to spread through the lost world. And it is the power of that Word that saves men's souls, not those who spread it. Even from the mouths of ordinary men He is able to save. That my friend is truly extraordinary! oh and by the way, I don't know why... :-) God bless John |

434 | who was king Darius? | Ezra 6:22 | stjohn | 198664 | ||
Hello joe, Welcome to the forum! If you read about Darius in Ezra 5-6 It looks like he may well have been a believer In 6:22 It sums it up nicely, but, although it doesn't spell it out precisely, I think I would err on the side of Grace and assume that God in turning Ezra's heart toward His people He would also turn his (Ezra's) heart toward Himself (God) as well. God bless John |

435 | What does anyone know about the Institut | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 198606 | ||
Hi servant, Welcome to The Bible Study Forum. The Institute In Basic Life Principles, I believe, happens to be a cult, based on extreme legalism. By the way this is a Bible study. Do you have a Bible question? God bless John |

436 | Explain abomination and desolation | Matt 24:15 | stjohn | 198550 | ||
Hi tapp... Most scholars believe this is referring to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD when the city was destroyed and made desolate by the Roman Army. Here is a commentary that seems to say it very well. I hope it helps you. God bless John "-- v14. But when ye shall see--"Jerusalem compassed by armies"--by encamped armies; in other words, when ye shall see it besieged, and the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not--that is, as explained in Matthew (Mt 24:15), "standing in the holy place." (let him that readeth understand)--readeth that prophecy. That "the abomination of desolation" here alluded to was intended to point to the Roman ensigns, as the symbols of an idolatrous, and so unclean pagan power, may be gathered by comparing what Luke says in the corresponding verse (Lu 21:20); and commentators are agreed on it. It is worthy of notice, as confirming this interpretation, that in 1 Maccabees 1:54--which, though aprocryphal Scripture, is authentic history--the expression of Daniel (Da 11:31; 12:11) is applied to the idolatrous profanation of the Jewish altar by Antiochus Epiphanes. then let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains--The ecclesiastical historian, EUSEBIUS, early in the fourth century, tells us that the Christians fled to Pella, at the northern extremity of Perea, being "prophetically directed"--perhaps by some prophetic intimation more explicit than this, which would be their chart--and that thus they escaped the predicted calamities by which the nation was overwhelmed". --Jamieson, Faussett, and Brown |

438 | placement of rods | Gen 30:37 | stjohn | 198484 | ||
Hi tah49... welcome to the forum by the way, yes, I'm quite familiar with the story in Gen 30:37-39 and my answer, I believe, is as good I think as you will get on this subject. If you would like to read more on this you can go to, http://eword.gospelcom.net/comments/ or you can go to http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/ and read from a large variety of commentaries, but this is a subject that you will not really find much of a consensus on, what the relevance of the rods or the way they were prepared and or placed in their sight, on the outcome of the coloration of the flock. It is an interesting subject, but, alas understanding is difficult indeed, suffice it to say it was an act of God. God bless John |

439 | Genesis 30:37-39 rods of green poplar | Gen 30:37 | stjohn | 198480 | ||
Hi tah49... why the effect of coloration on the flock was brought about in this manor is really unknown, but most believe of corse ( sense the discovery of the genetic code) that it was a work of God and not do to the placement of the rods. God bless John |

440 | is a good history of the reformation ? | Rom 9:11 | stjohn | 197889 | ||
Hi Berean, Welcome to the forum! I'd like to suggest some reading about the reformers themselves, there are some excellent short biographies at [ www.tlogical.net/biographies.htm ] You may want to start with John Wyclif, "the most prominent of the Reformers before the Reformation" It's helped me in learning about the Reformation to read about those who did the work, reading their stories will actually give you a pretty good education on the Reformation. Anyway , It's a good place to start I think. God bless John |
