421 | death, being with Jesus -verse? | 2 Corinthians | Scribe | 42075 | ||
Yet there is a big (MAJOR) difference between the girl healed, and Lazarus and anyothers that are raised from the dead in the Bible and that of the resurrection of our Body latter in the last day that raising of the damsel is more like a healing, she still dies later, as does Lazuras. Where did their spirits go? we do not know there is no mention of them testifying about a "white light" or of strolling through "flowers of gold" or of pleading with God not to have to go back. :) It seems they are quite happy and thankful to return. So it is more likely in those cases that they may have been unconscience. But we don't really know. We do know that when we die, we go to be with the Lord. |

423 | Is God truly merciful if He killed kids? | 1 Sam 15:3 | Scribe | 42066 | ||
I usually explain this by thinking about what other information we have about these cities they were to destroy. We have archaelogy discoveries that reveal that these people did practice everything from canabalism to beastiality. They also would dedicate a building by plastering a baby in the walls. They offered their children to idols even placing them in the arms of bronze statues made to glow red with heat. Now we can understand why they may have been beyond hope and God had, had enough, even as with Sodom and Gomorah who when angels came in their midst still refused to repent and even wanted to cast their sin on the Holy messengers. So what if the babies in these villages were infected with multiple diseases and had no chance of living, God could have been taking the babies soul away from the horror of the life their wicked parents were forcing on them. You can say God would not do that but that is because we look at things after the cross and after the world has been changed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ (whether the world and political landscape knows it or not) and we cannot understand the affairs of government in those days. We do not even understand how a prophet could be holy and have multiple wives, but he could. Not now of course because things have changed in our understanding and moral constitution becuase of the cross and effect of the the church on the world. In some of these small villages there may not have been many children left due to the hineous crimes of the adults. One thing is for sure. When the wrath of God begins to be poured out on the world as spoken in Revelation, and one third of mankind is killed from just one of the plagues or judgements poured out, there will be babies involved. There must have been infants in Sodom and Gommorah (unless they had eaten them all). That an infant suffers death when the cataclysmic judgements of God fall is not so horrible as the idea that men would ignore the escape from wrath offered them at this present time. If an infant dies he or she will go to a better place, if an adult dies and has not repented and put faith in Christ he is lost forever and forever is a long time. |

424 | what is the scripture Paul quotes here? | Eph 5:14 | Scribe | 42063 | ||
You answered your question by posting the verse the Amplified NASB gives the cross reference Isa 26:19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Isa 60:1 ¶ Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. Isa 60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. Paul did not qoute from any book of Elijah becuase Paul was inspired by the Holy Spirit and would not quote from false books that were not scripture. Some people even think that Jude quoted from the "book of Enoch" but what happened is that some false teachers wrote a book to make it sound like the Enoch wrote it bassed on what they had read Jude say. The false book of Enoch is qouting Jude not Jude qouting the false book. God bless you in the study of His Word. |

425 | verse mean death now or at 2nd coming | 2 Cor 5:8 | Scribe | 42045 | ||
Php 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: If Paul felt that his dieing was the same as being with Christ then it seems safest to conclude that our spirit goes instantly to be with Christ. And then consider Christ Himself. We know he descended into the lower parts of the earth before his ascension so if he descended before his resurrection he did so in the spirit. Out spirits are conscience after death and since Christ made the way, we now go to Him whatever that may be called. such as heaven. |

426 | did adam and Eve ever get forgiveness? | Matthew | Scribe | 42010 | ||
You did notice that the animal skins they were clothed in came from the first slain animals. And these must have been the first sacrifice for sin. | ||||||
427 | did adam and Eve ever get forgiveness? | Matthew | Scribe | 42009 | ||
Well actually they did confess their sins. Just read the account. God asks what have you done and Adam says he ate the fruit. Adam said I was afraid and hid myself. The woman said I was beguiled and I did eat. They were not passing blame in my opinion. I know that is commonly preached but I never saw it from the first time I heard it to date. They are being straight forward and honest in their confession. They are telling God exactly what they did. If they had not of done that or if they were unwilling to accept blame and deny that they had done anything wrong they would not have recieved a covering for their sin. | ||||||
428 | 1st Cor 14:34-35 and 1st Timothy 2:12 | Bible general Archive 1 | Scribe | 41922 | ||
1Co 14:34 ¶ Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 1Co 14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. Ignore? My church doesn't ignore it. If we seperated the men from the women in the Law style of synagogue meeting. And if the women yelled.. Hey what about this scripture that says men are to be circumcised, How can a man be saved who is not circumcised.?" that would be a shameful display both to her husband and to the church. She should wait and ask her husband that question at home instead of showing here ignorance so publically and shamefully. Now this truth applies to men as well. Let all things be done in decency and in order |

429 | Laws to live by? | Matt 22:36 | Scribe | 41920 | ||
Mt 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Mt 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mt 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mt 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Mt 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. |

430 | Hiding her Heritage, Esther 2:13 | Esth 2:10 | Scribe | 41916 | ||
Es 2:10 Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not shew it. I would think that it was because the Jews were mistreated at the time and he feared for her life if she let it be known. |

431 | explain Gal.5:21b not inherit Kingdom of | Gal 5:19 | Scribe | 41914 | ||
Ga 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Ga 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Ga 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. In Luke 8:10 Jesus in speaking of the parable of the sower calls it a parable about the "kingdom of God" (Lu 8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. ) In Matt 13:11 Jesus speaking about the same parable says the same thing and uses "Kingdom of Heaven" (He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.) So did Jesus use both words? or is this simply two different writers saying the same thing with slightly different styles? I think you would agree that Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven are the same here. When you read the letters of Paul you find he never once used the term Kingdom of Heaven but often used the term Kingdom of God. However Paul did once say it a little different thatn Gal 5;21 when in Eph 5:5 he states.... For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. And here he puts no difference between the Kingdom of Christ and of God, and if someone would dare to seperate them they must at least agree that they are both included in the statement of not getting there if you live this way. I have heard this statement before but there is no difference between the terms and it can be said in modern style as well... If you live this way.. I don't care if you say you walked the isle and signed the prayer card, your not going to heaven when you die. You must repent and get these things out of your life by faith in Christ. Amen and God bless you. |

432 | Is dance praise and worship 2 sam 6? | Ps 149:3 | Scribe | 41911 | ||
Ps 149:3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. I would say there is scripture to say that God is pleased with the heart of FAITH that dances in joy, I do not think this is the same as learned dancing such as needing to take lessons or anything. When we dance with joy before the Lord out of exhuberant praise it is the same as when someone starts jumping up and down with glee. Or when we do a musical dance that we sort of make up as we go, this too is acceptable and belongs to that realm of the being spiritually affectionate toward God. |

433 | Faith apart from reading the Bible? | Rom 10:17 | Scribe | 41908 | ||
Steve I agree with you. You are much more biblical in your understanding than those that would say you have to have read it in the bible first. I beleive that God is faithful to bring a Bible or preachers of the Bible to an honest seeker but I too had faith in Jesus Christ when as yet I had not read the Bible. I was in jail. I was crying out for God to change my life. I had this much knowledge. 1) I knew I was living a loser of a lifestyle, that I was not a good person. 2) That God still loved me , (I admit I had heard that somewere) 3) that if you pray God will help you. I prayed and prayed I was in spiritual turmoil, no rest for my soul After many days, I heard a man pray over his food in jest "God bless the mess! In Jesus Name!" I knew he was being irreverant, but when he said "In Jesus Name!" It was as if a flood light came on in my heart! I got on my knees and ask the Lord to change my life and get me a Bible IN JESUS NAME, and I believed He heard me. The next day I was moved to a place where I could get a Bible and while I waited for the delivery of the Bible I found some torn out pages of the book of James on the floor. That became my Bible for several weeks and it was what I needed to start my life of sanctification in Christ. May God Bless you All. |

434 | Can a man know God without a Bible? | Rom 10:17 | Scribe | 41905 | ||
3Jo 1:11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God. 1Jo 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. Ac 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. We know that one must have faith in Christ to be saved. I propose that all those that are truly righteous will find Christ, or God is faithful to lead all those that truly Love God to Christ. |

435 | Is the Promised Land the Israel of today | Hebrews | Scribe | 41903 | ||
Ro 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. Abraham was promised THE WHOLE WORLD so yes the land of Israel is the promised land but only as a type or lesson that God is going to give the saints THE WHOLE WORLD, for a thousand years and then A New Heaven and New Earth. Heb 11:40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. If you see that we (us the new testament saints) are to be included in the promises, then we know it is more than Geographical Isreal. In answer to your question Israel and Jerusalem is the very promised land of the Old testament and there is no question by anyone that it. Many of the geographical landmarks mentioned in the OT have never been mistaken for some other place in all of human history by those that live there. Some things are hard to identify such as the location of the tower of Babel, but they are fairly certain they have the base identified. But Jerusalem, mount Zion has never been in dispute. Yes God promised them the Land, but God had a greater purpose. Here is the Greater Truth. The promised land is your heart (your soul, your eternal being)Or the Promised Land are all the eternal promises of eternal Life with Christ, the Bodily Resurrection, The inheriting of the earth, the possessing of the literal kingdom, all of these promises not yet realized in full but possessed by faith is the Promised Land for us. And as they had to walk by faith to possess it so do we. Do a study on the enemies they had to drive out, they all have names that can be applied to the spiritual battles we face as christians in our walk of sanctification. He that endures unto the end shall be saved. we have to drive out the amorites as they did but we do it spiritually by repenting and fleeing from lusts that once kept us in bondage. You see them having problems by letting some enemies remain among them (as you see today) and we must learn from this and not allow any secret lusts or vices to remain in our hearts. God Bless you in your study of the Word. |

436 | Can a man know God without a Bible? | Rom 10:17 | Scribe | 41900 | ||
In adding to the mention of Enoch. I want to say that if you understand faith in Christ and how that the Holy Spirit is real you will know that you can indeed commune with God and have God speak truths to your heart that later you will see written in the Bible and you had not even read it before the Lord spoke it to your spirit man. This is the essence of the new covenant, that we would have a heart of flesh and not of stone, that we would hear a voice saying "this is the way , walk ye in it." This does not mean we have a right to make up wierd doctrines that contradict the Word. When one is yielded to the Holy Spirit and Faith in Christ they will hear the Spirit testify of Christ and make things plain to them. These things will always be in agreement with the written word. If they are not then that person is not being honest about communing with the Lord. It really is that simple. One who says I prayed all night and God told me to divorce my wife and marry the church secretary is not really honest. He either is lying and did not pray, or he did not come to the Lord with a pure heart saying God I will do whatever is pleasing to you and would rather die than willfully go my own way. This person would of course never pray about such a stupid thing in the first place but I use it to dramatize my point. The heart of man is the central theater in this conflict of good and evil and those that have a pure heart will see God. |

437 | Can a man know God without a Bible? | Rom 10:17 | Scribe | 41897 | ||
Let me clarify. Romans 10 would not contradict what I am about to say. When you think about men who have known God and known Him on a level equaled by few others does not Enoch come to mind? And when we consider that the testimony is that that He pleased God to such a degree that God took him, we know that Enoch had great faith and walked with God according to the testimony. Have you considered that Enoch had no scriptures that we know of. And yet he did have scripture but not the kind we think of. Enoch prophesied of the coming of the Lord with ten thousands of His saints and to execute judgement on the ungodly according to Jude and so we assume Enoch had revelation of the Divine Word, but we assume it was preached, starting from Adam and not written scriptures until Moses. What do you think? Rom 10 is not in contradiction to this as it's emphasis is on preaching as well. Let me qualify my statements. I am a firm believer in the written Word. I don't really have faith for anything I do not read in the scripture. But is it not an interesting concept that in Enochs generation you have men living on earth for lifespans of nearly 1000 years and remaining holy and knowing God such as Noah with no written scripture? Think about it. Men who lived a thousands years! (900 close enough) |

438 | John6:39- 40 who is raised, when? | John 6:39 | Scribe | 41889 | ||
Joh 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 39. Torrey Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. The saints are promised from ancient times that we will have a redemption of the body. So what Jesus is referring to is the Bodily resurrection of the saints. When we die now our spirit goes to be with Christ. But in the last day (a time period called the Day of the Lord) saints will have thier bodies raised and glorified as eternal bodies. So that in your current limited understanding you could say they are spiritual bodies, but not spirit only. We have a body and we have a spirit. Now our bodies are corruptible but then they will be raise incorruptible. There is a time period between going to be with the Lord now and getting our glorified bodies. There are plenty of scripture for this. I will post them if you would like. |
