521 | Did Christ fulfill the law - yes or no? | Matt 5:17 | jlpangilinan | 22157 | ||
Kalos, I read two of your question to Searcher56, and it seems that he/she still would want to answer it directly. Some members also commenting in to it. In my own opinion, Yes! Christ did fulfill the law becuase he said it in that particular verse. And we know that He is not imprudent to say it and yet not fulfilling it. Thank you, Johnny |

522 | Where is the line? | 2 Cor 9:7 | jlpangilinan | 22139 | ||
Prayon, Do you mean we are not release from the law of Moses? I think it is not right when you mentioned we were released. Becuase until now of course when you observed the two great commandments whic is given by Jesus Christ you also observed all things in the ten commandments. But my question to you now is, do you really observed them as Jew people doing it, or you observing it like what Jesus Christ taught us? Questions: 1. Do you not do any work on sabbath day? 2. Do you really not eat pork and other meat or food that Jewish people not eat.? 3. If you see other people do work on sabbath day did you kill them or stoned them to death? Because according to law do any work on sabbath day, is punishable by death. If your answer is no! then you have been free from the law of moses which is include tithe. Just show me my friend, that tithe is not included in the law of Moses and we will agree. Jesus Christ observed the ten commandments different from the teaching of Moses,Jesus Christ do a lot of work on Sabbath day. and it punisable by death. Lu 4:31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. Lu 6:1 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. Lu 6:2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? When Jesus Christ do this things He free us from that law. Or you will say that Jesus Christ not observe the law? In addition my friend, (I hope we belong to same belived which is Christianity, I could be mistaken if one of us will belong to Jewish)i will put some passages here. Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Heb 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. It was mentioned there on that passages The lord make a new covenant "Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers" do you think tithe or ten commandment are not included in that first covenant? If your answer is NO! then show me that they exclude tithe and ten commandments when they mentioned that. I hope I will not offended you in my kind of questions Thanks Johnny |

523 | Releases from tithing 10 per cent? | 2 Cor 9:7 | jlpangilinan | 22136 | ||
Prayon, Let me again use this verse to explain my stand. Ac 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. When this teaching received by paul in Jesus Christ it is the passage that will free us from that law. Do you agree that tithe is including in the law of moses? it is mentioned there that we are not justified by the law of moses. As christians we are now observe the teaching of Jesus Christ, we also now eat the food that according to the teaching moses is not allowed for the Jew. My question to you now is why we exclude tithe from all those things? Do you think you can show me that when apostle paul say those passage he exclude the tithe? Ephesians 2:11-12 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: We also not observe the law called circumcision, why we are not observe those things which included in the law of moses, why we still observed the tithe which is included also in the same law? It is look we are not consistent? Luke 18:12-17 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. In that verses its very clear that we are not going to be justified by the law of Moses if recall he tell Jesus that He followed carefully the commandments of Moses (ten commandments and others) but then the question Is he justified? If you can show me that tithe is excluded in the law of Moses and I will observe the tithe. But then if you observe one of those laws you must observe all the teaching included in that same laws. Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Again I am not telling anyone that giving is wrong, if you can give more than your 10 percent it is acceptable to God, but it is not a requirement. It is not important how much you can give but the most important is how much you love to give because God love the cheerful giver. Thank you, Johnny |

525 | Tithing or grace giving/2 Cor. 8 and 9? | 2 Cor 9:7 | jlpangilinan | 21964 | ||
Your question: Is tithing a New Testament requirement for believers, or "grace giving" of 2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9? My answer is it is not requirement. There is no teaching of Jesus Christ that will require anyone to give thier 10 percent. The tithe is including in the law of moses, and it will not Justified us. Ac 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. But I am not telling here that giving is wrong, if you can give more than 10 percent of your income it accptable to God the wrong is we require our bother and sisters to give 10 percent of thier income. 2Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. It is not the requiremnts of how much you give but how much you love to give. Johnny |

526 | Does not tithing disqualify leadership? | Mal 3:10 | jlpangilinan | 21954 | ||
My interest to your question is different. 1. What the meaning of tithe for you is the 10 percent of your gross, or a love offering that mentioned in the bible? 2. Do you believed that it is appropriate to give tithe than love offering? I raise this question to you because I think it is wrong that we required our brother and sisters to give tithe. I think the right giving is love offering and it was taught in the new testament. We know that there is no any teaching of Jesus Christ in the new Testament that will required anyone to gave 10 percent of his gross or whatsover. We know also that most of his teaching is love and charity. But I am not saying that the giving is wrong, if you can give more that 10 percent it is acceptable to God, but it will not require you how much you can give but how much you love to give. 2Co 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver Thanks, Johnny |

527 | are there innocent victims in the bible | Bible general Archive 1 | jlpangilinan | 21943 | ||
In the time that Satan challenge the faith of Job and God allows satan to do everything to Job except taking his life, I think the children of Job were innocent but they die. Maybe they are innocent victims becuase the challenge was involved Job. Job 1:18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: 18. Job 1:19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. So sometimes God's allows innocent victims die. Sometimes we know the reasons, some we dont. Thanks, Johnny |

528 | Record of the Amalekites? | OT general | jlpangilinan | 21851 | ||
Amalekite a tribe that dwelt in Arabia Petraea, between the Dead Sea and the Red Sea. They were not the descendants of Amalek, the son of Eliphaz, for they existed in the days of Abraham (Ge 14:7). They were probably a tribe that migrated from the shores of the Persian Gulf and settled in Arabia. "They dwelt in the land of the south...from Havilah until thou comest to Shur" (Nu 13:29; 1Sa 15:7). They were a pastoral, and hence a nomadic race. Their kings bore the hereditary name of Agag (Nu 24:7; 1Sa 15:8). They attempted to stop the Israelites when they marched through their territory (De 25:18), attacking them at Rephidim (Ex 17:8-13; comp. De 25:17; 1Sa 15:2). They afterwards attacked the Israelites at Hormah (Nu 14:45). We read of them subsequently as in league with the Moabites (Jg 3:13) and the Midianites (Jg 6:3). Saul finally desolated their territory and destroyed their power (1Sa 14:48; 15:3), and David recovered booty from them (1Sa 30:18-20). In the Babylonian inscriptions they are called Sute, in those of Egypt Sittiu, and the Amarna tablets include them under the general name of Khabbati, or "plunderers." Thanks Johnny |

529 | Where has Leah traveled? | Gen 30:21 | jlpangilinan | 21399 | ||
Leah She acompanied Jacob into canaan: weary, the eldest daughter of Laban, and sister of Rachel (Ge 29:16). Jacob took her to wife through a deceit of her father (Ge 29:23). She was "tender-eyed" (Ge 29:17). She bore to Jacob six sons (Ge 29:32-35), also one daughter, Dinah (Ge 30:21). She accompanied Jacob into Canaan, and died there before the time of the going down into Egypt (Ge 31:1-55), and was buried in the cave of Machpelah (Ge 49:31). Thanks, Johnny |

530 | first recorded baptism | Matt 3:15 | jlpangilinan | 20783 | ||
If I am mistaken it was There are four recorded kind of baptism that I know Baptism of Christ: Christ had to be formally inaugurated into the public discharge of his offices. For this purpose he came to John, who was the representative of the law and the prophets, that by him he might be introduced into his offices, and thus be publicly recognized as the Messiah of whose coming the prophecies and types had for many ages borne witness. John refused at first to confer his baptism on Christ, for he understood not what he had to do with the "baptism of repentance." But Christ said, "'Suffer it to be so now,' NOW as suited to my state of humiliation, my state as a substitute in the room of sinners." His reception of baptism was not necessary on his own account. It was a voluntary act, the same as his act of becoming incarnate. Yet if the work he had engaged to accomplish was to be completed, then it became him to take on him the likeness of a sinner, and to fulfil all righteousness (Mt 3:15). Baptism for the dead only mentioned in 1Co 15:29. This expression as used by the apostle may be equivalent to saying, "He who goes through a baptism of blood in order to join a glorified church which has no existence [i.e., if the dead rise not] is a fool." Some also regard the statement here as an allusion to the strange practice which began, it is said, to prevail at Corinth, in which a person was baptized in the stead of others who had died before being baptized, to whom it was hoped some of the benefits of that rite would be extended. This they think may have been one of the erroneous customs which Paul went to Corinth to "set in order." Baptism, Christian an ordinance immediately instituted by Christ (Mt 28:19-20), and designed to be observed in the church, like that of the Supper, "till he come." The words "baptize" and "baptism" are simply Greek words transferred into English. This was necessarily done by the translators of the Scriptures, for no literal translation could properly express all that is implied in them. Baptism, John's was not Christian baptism, nor was that which was practised by the disciples previous to our Lord's crucifixion. Till then the New Testament economy did not exist. John's baptism bound its subjects to repentance, and not to the faith of Christ. It was not administered in the name of the Trinity, and those whom John baptized were rebaptized by Paul (Ac 18:24; 19:7). |

531 | WHY DAVID WROTE THE BOOK OF PSALMS? | Psalm | jlpangilinan | 20767 | ||
More information if you just interested Psalms The psalms are the production of various authors. "Only a portion of the Book of Psalms claims David as its author. Other inspired poets in successive generations added now one now another contribution to the sacred collection, and thus in the wisdom of Providence it more completely reflects every phase of human emotion and circumstances than it otherwise could." But it is specially to David and his contemporaries that we owe this precious book. In the "titles" of the psalms, the genuineness of which there is no sufficient reason to doubt, 73 are ascribed to David. Peter and John (Ac 4:25) ascribe to him also the second psalm, which is one of the 48 that are anonymous. About two-thirds of the whole collection have been ascribed to David. Psalms 39, 62, and 77 are addressed to Jeduthun, to be sung after his manner or in his choir. Psalms 50 and 73-83 are addressed to Asaph, as the master of his choir, to be sung in the worship of God. The "sons of Korah," who formed a leading part of the Kohathite singers (2Ch 20:19), were intrusted with the arranging and singing of PS 42, 44-49, 84, 85, 87, and 88. In Lu 24:44 the word "psalms" means the Hagiographa, i.e., the holy writings, one of the sections into which the Jews divided the Old Testament. (See Bible.) None of the psalms can be proved to have been of a later date than the time of Ezra and Nehemiah, hence the whole collection extends over a period of about 1,000 years. There are in the New Testament 116 direct quotations from the Psalter. The Psalter is divided, after the analogy of the Pentateuch, into five books, each closing with a doxology or benediction: (1.) The first book comprises the first 41 psalms, all of which are ascribed to David except 1, 2, 10, and 33, which, though anonymous, may also be ascribed to him. (2.) Book second consists of the next 31 psalms (42-72), 18 of which are ascribed to David and 1 to Solomon (the 72nd). The rest are anonymous. (3.) The third book contains 17 psalms (73-89), of which the 86th is ascribed to David, the 88th to Heman the Ezrahite, and the 89th to Ethan the Ezrahite. (4.) The fourth book also contains 17 psalms (90-106), of which the 90th is ascribed to Moses, and the 101st and 103rd to David. (5.) The fifth book contains the remaining psalms, 44 in number. Of these, 15 are ascribed to David, and the 127th to Solomon. PS 136 is generally called "the great hallel." But the Talmud includes also PS 120-135. PS 113-118, inclusive, constitute the "hallel" recited at the three great feasts, at the new moon, and on the eight days of the feast of dedication. "It is presumed that these several collections were made at times of high religious life: the first, probably, near the close of David's life; the second in the days of Solomon; the third by the singers of Jehoshaphat (2Ch 20:19); the fourth by the men of Hezekiah (29, 30, 31); and the fifth in the days of Ezra." The Mosaic ritual makes no provision for the service of song in the worship of God. David first taught the Church to sing the praises of the Lord. He first introduced into the ritual of the tabernacle music and song. Divers names are given to the psalms. (1.) Some bear the Hebrew designation shir (Gr. ode, a song). Thirteen have this title. It means the flow of speech, as it were, in a straight line or in a regular strain. This title includes secular as well as sacred song. (2.) Fifty-eight psalms bear the designation (Heb) mitsmor (Gr. psalmos, a psalm), a lyric ode, or a song set to music; a sacred song accompanied with a musical instrument. (3.) PS 145, and many others, have the designation (Heb) tehillah (Gr. hymnos, a hymn), meaning a song of praise; a song the prominent thought of which is the praise of God. (4.) Six psalms (16, 56-60) have the title (Heb) michtam (q.v.). (5.) PS 7 and HAB 3 bear the title |

532 | Is truth relative? How do we know it? | John 8:32 | jlpangilinan | 20445 | ||
1Jo 4:1 Having too many relegion right now is too confusing,but it is part of Lord's prophecy. But he gave us warning about all this things. Your question is how do we know what the truth is? This what He says for us: 1Jo 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. He sais not to believed every spirit but to try the spirits. How long did you being a member of any particular church? How often did u read the holy scriptures? If we read the Holy scriptures then we would know what really the right teaching for us because it must be written in the bible. If you found that your relegion are not having the right teaching or doctrine then it is up to you to try another. You can Justify those question if you read the scriptures because you can see that thier teaching is written in the bible and you would know if they telling the truth or not, because teaching should come from the Holy scriptures. I can give you some example: I dont beleive that we have to confess to priest because it is not written in the bible. What really written is: as 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. So if we read the scritures we can justify who is really telling the truth. So you have to read the scriptures and not just comfortable listening to what the pastors or priest is going to preach. We have other warning about how to find the truth: Ga 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. So if you heard anyone who taught not in the scriptures, then let him be accursed. How would we know that the teaching are different from the teaching of the apostles, of course we have to read the scriptures. I hope it would help. Thanks, Johnny |

533 | What is the "third heaven"? | Gen 1:1 | jlpangilinan | 20294 | ||
Jensen, Let me help you Heaven: (1.) Definitions. The phrase "heaven and earth" is used to indicate the whole universe (Ge 1:1; Jer 23:24; Ac 17:24). According to the Jewish notion there were three heavens, (a) The firmament, as "fowls of the heaven" (Ge 2:19; 7:3,23; Ps 8:8, etc.), "the eagles of heaven" (La 4:19), etc. (b) The starry heavens (De 17:3; Jer 8:2; Mt 24:29). (c) "The heaven of heavens," or "the third heaven" (De 10:14; 1Ki 8:27; Ps 115:16; 148:4; 2Co 12:2). The third heaven: Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD'S thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is. Ki 8:27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded? s 115:16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. 2Co 12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. at this verse 2Co 12:2 they mentioned the third heaven. Just keep reading the scripture, for formation, and for information. Thanks, Johnny |

534 | Speaking in tongues? | Acts 2:1 | jlpangilinan | 20286 | ||
You know I can say that is true. I saw many events that some of members of the church speaking in tongues. Even in the bible it was happened in the day of pentecost I put that passages here: Ac 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. Ac 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 2. Ac 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. Ac 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 4. Ac 2:5 ΒΆ And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Ac 2:6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. Your are right that not all people has this kind of gift, but me if it will going to happened to me baptise in the Holy Spirit I am very willing to accet it, and pray for that. Speaking in tongue is not an ability it is come from the Holy Spirit. But I dont think that you have to speaking in tongue to enter the Kingdom of Heaven there are many prophets in the Bible that doesent have this gift but live in the right path. Thanks Johnny |

535 | What is the account we will give? | Rom 14:12 | jlpangilinan | 20283 | ||
Ro 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 10. Ro 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. Ro 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. If you read it from 14:10 the explanation of Apostle Paul we cannot judge our brothers,in 14: 11, every knee shall bow to Jesus Christ, everyone of us is Jesus Christ apostle, what Apostle paul can do is taught us how to be closer to God, but if we are not going to listen or to observe it is us is accountable for God. Meaning we accountable for the punishment we cannot point other person that because of them we fall and it is not fault of others but yours. I hope it will help Johnny |

HIRAM 2Sa 5:11 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house. 1Ki 5:1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David. TYRE: a rock, now es-Sur; an ancient Phoenician city, about 23 miles, in a direct line, north of Acre, and 20 south of Sidon. Sidon was the oldest Phoenician city, but Tyre had a longer and more illustrious history. The commerce of the whole world was gathered into the warehouses of Tyre. "Tyrian merchants were the first who ventured to navigate the Mediterranean waters; and they founded their colonies on the coasts and neighbouring islands of the AEgean Sea, in Greece, on the northern coast of Africa, at Carthage and other places, in Sicily and Corsica, in Spain at Tartessus, and even beyond the pillars of Hercules at Gadeira (Cadiz)" (Driver's Isaiah). In the time of David a friendly alliance was entered into between the Hebrews and the Tyrians, who were long ruled over by their native kings Johnny |

539 | A Wonderful Plan? How do you know? | Rom 1:18 | jlpangilinan | 20270 | ||
Lionstrong, We know that God's love every human being, and God has plan for every creature. Your question is if God has plan who can change it? you, you can even change the plan for God for you because of your free will. Do you think the plan of God for Adam and Eve is to eat that forbidden fruit? Ge 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. but it was happend? Do you think part of plan of God that Lucufer become his opposer? but its happened. Do you think it is part of the plan of God that Judas will betray Him, if you said yes, and your God is not fair. So i think if God has plan for you dont accept his plan you can change it. For example God has a plan that you leave long here in this world but if you are going to jump from 100 floor of any building God will not stop you. Johnny |

540 | What does the Bible say about hell? | Job 11:8 | jlpangilinan | 20265 | ||
Hell derived from the Saxon helan, to cover; hence the covered or the invisible place. In Scripture there are three words so rendered: (1.) Sheol, occurring in the Old Testament sixty-five times. This word sheol is derived from a root-word meaning "to ask," "demand;" hence insatiableness (Pr 30:15-16). It is rendered "grave" thirty-one times (Ge 37:35; 42:38; 44:29,31; 1Sa 2:6, etc.). The Revisers have retained this rendering in the historical books with the original word in the margin, while in the poetical books they have reversed this rule. In thirty-one cases in the Authorized Version this word is rendered "hell," the place of disembodied spirits. The inhabitants of sheol are "the congregation of the dead" (Pr 21:16). It is (a) the abode of the wicked (Nu 16:33; Job 24:19; Ps 9:17; 31:17, etc.); (b) of the good (Ps 16:10; 30:3; 49:15; 86:13, etc.). Sheol is described as deep (Job 11:8), dark (Job 10:21-22), with bars (Job 17:16). The dead "go down" to it (Nu 16:30,33; Eze 31:15-16,17). (2.) The Greek word hades of the New Testament has the same scope of signification as sheol of the Old Testament. It is a prison (1Pe 3:19), with gates and bars and locks (Mt 16:18; Re 1:18), and it is downward (Mt 11:23; Lu 10:15). The righteous and the wicked are separated. The blessed dead are in that part of hades called paradise (Lu 23:43). They are also said to be in Abraham's bosom (Lu 16:22). (3.) Gehenna, in most of its occurrences in the Greek New Testament, designates the place of the lost (Mt 23:33). The fearful nature of their condition there is described in various figurative expressions (Mt 8:12; 13:42; 22:13; 25:30; Lu 16:24, etc Hell is the ultimate separation of our soul from God.
