541 | Many prophets and righteous | Rom 3:10 | stjohn | 188761 | ||
Hi INRI; Just thought I'd mention it is not necessary to pose a question when responding to an answer, you can clic on note, this is not a rule, but it seems to be protocol and it also works well to keep down some of the hubbub from the front page. Thanks again; I appreciate your contribution to the forum. You seem to be very well versed in scripture, I believe can learn much from you my friend. God bless. John |

542 | Many prophets and righteous | Rom 3:10 | stjohn | 188758 | ||
Yes my friend INRI; Thank you, and you have spoken well also! Amen! you got it ! ************************************* The Bible is a corridor between two eternities down which walks the Christ of God; His invisible steps echo through the Old Testament, but we meet Him face to face in the throne room of the New; and it is through that Christ alone, crucified for me, that I have found forgiveness for sins and life eternal. The Old Testament is summed up in the word Christ; the New Testament is summed up in the word Jesus; and the summary of the whole Bible is that Jesus is the Christ. —Bishop Pollock God bless. John |

543 | There are a few righteous in the Bible | Rom 3:10 | stjohn | 188751 | ||
Hi INRI, Welcome, I don't know if we can reconcile this with a specific scripture, but if we look at the whole of scripture, we can see that God has had only one way to salvation, and that is the cross. All are made righteous by the blood of sacrifice. in the old we have a picture of Jesus in the sacrifice of the Lamb, as far back as Able, and God slue an animal to clothe Adam and Eve. The old testament saint's all looked forward to the Cross of Christ, and the new testament saint's, all look back to the Cross of Christ for salvation. All of scripture is Christ, He is the sum total of it all. As far as being righteous, well Abraham was counted Righteous because he believed God, and even Lot was righteous according to 2 Pet 2:7 "and if He rescued righteous Lot, oppressed by the sensual conduct of unprincipled men" I guess that says a lot for faith doesn't it? God bless. John |

545 | the tongue is like a two edge sword. | Bible general Archive 3 | stjohn | 188666 | ||
Hi ifh_tns, I don't think there is one that calls the tongue a two edge sword. Is this close? Rev 1:16 In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength. God Bless. John |

546 | The better side of what? | Rev 6:11 | stjohn | 188618 | ||
Dear sir; Your view gives a gross misconception of the grace and mercy of our Lord. Very frankly, I resent your implication that our Lord would punish one that was martyred for His name. That is absolutely, unScriptural And unChristian! God bless. John |

Dear God's-elect; you have heard many opinions on this, and we all know what yours is, thanks for the question, but no thanks. This is an obvious attempt to [push] your view. nice try.

548 | pray and ask for forgiveness daily | Bible general Archive 3 | stjohn | 188435 | ||
Hi Ladyblujay, That would be what is called the Lord's pryer. [emphases is mine, on pertinent verses.] Matt 6:9-14 “Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. [Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.] And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.]” God bless. John |

550 | Who is "Father God"? | Mark 14:36 | stjohn | 188358 | ||
Hi Rich, God most certainly is our father, that is if you are a child of God, if not then He most certainly (my) father. When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, He said when you pray say our [Father] who art in heaven,ect. And He also said we can call out to Him, Abba Father, Jesus Himself calls out to Him in the gardin of sorrows. Mark 14:36 And He was saying, "Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will." thats like saying Daddy Father or Papa just like a child would do with his or her earthly father. As far as your references to the other names they have nothing to do with God the Father in Heaven Creator of Heaven and Eirth. dagdadahgdha... whatever, is an Irish mith, and the other is..... well I don't really know what it is to tell the truth and I'm not sure I care, I've heard that its some kind of father/mother god thing. |

551 | Water for camels | Gen 24:1 | stjohn | 188300 | ||
Hi aflame, Thats not really a Bible Question and you could go on line and easily find out. But I'll be nice and give you a clue. A camel can drink an amazing amount of water I've not seen this, but I've heard that they can drink up to 20 gallons at a time. So, if the servant had 10 camels, times 20 gallons?... She was a busy girl! God bless. John |

552 | Can the devil tune in to our thoughts? | Bible general Archive 3 | stjohn | 188216 | ||
Hello Matt 6:33; Welcome, Here is just a sample of the garbage that you will find in the NEB Its Savage Butchery of the Word of God! Isaiah 53:3 "He is despised and rejected of men" KJV becomes "He was despised, he shrank from the sight of men." NEB Luke 19:10 clearly contradicts the above interpretation: "For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." He shrank from no man. Isaiah 53:4b "We did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted" KJV becomes "We counted Him smitten of God, struck down by disease and misery." NEB An appalling mistranslation. Isaiah 53:9 "And He made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death." KJV becomes "He was assigned a grave with the wicked, a burial place among the refuse of mankind." NEB the real story is. Matthew 27:57-60 tells the story of the rich man Joseph of Arimathaea, claiming the body of Jesus and burying it in his own new tomb. Psalm 22:16 "They pierced my hands and my feet" KJV becomes "And they have hacked off my hands and my feet" NEB The truth is. Psalm 34:20 "He keepeth all His bones, not one of them is broken." Be wise my friend and stay far away from the NEB!!! God bless, John |

553 | What is the LIght in Genesis 1 | Gen 1:1 | stjohn | 188143 | ||
Hello Greatfull, That's a question I've given a little bit of thought to, and I think regardless of wether it means the light of the sun or even adding the stars and the reflected light of the moon, so to call it light in general, this would still not be evidence of the Big Bang. The only real evidence that I know of is found in the mathematics, of what is called a singularity, or what would be similar to a black whole, only unimaginably grater in scale. And the problem with the mathematics is the calculations completely break down when you get to close to a singularity. So even the math doesn't rely support the theory. And the even bigger question that the Big Bang theory doesn't even ask is. How do you get something from nothing? The only answer we have ever been given that we can rely on is. God said let there be, and there was. Maybe it went Bang when he said let there be but the bible doesn't say and if God wanted us to know he would have said so. What he does want us to know is, that we need a redeemer because we are lost sinners, and that redeemer is, Jesus Christ, our wonderful, merciful, glorious saviour. Hope this helps. God Bless. John |

My Dear Lookn, It would be very nice, and respectful, on your part, if you would please stop wasting everyones time, by asking questions that sound as if they where asked by an eight year old smarty-pants, trying to sound intelligent!

556 | how do the 3 kingdoms in matt. relate | Matthew | stjohn | 187987 | ||
Hi shamecka, Warm welcom. Here is something from ttb.org that may help. Matthew presents the program of God. The “kingdom of heaven” is an expression which is peculiar to this Gospel. It occurs 32 times. The word “kingdom” occurs 50 times. A proper understanding of the phrase “kingdom of heaven” is essential to any interpretation of the Bible. The kingdom of heaven and the church are not the same. John the Baptist was the first to use the expression “the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 3:2). He began his ministry with the bold and startling announcement, “Repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” When the Lord Jesus Christ began His ministry, He likewise began with this very announcement (Matthew 4:17). Neither John nor Jesus attempted to explain the meaning of the term. It is reasonable to assume that the people to whom the message was given had some conception of its meaning. The Jews of the first century in Palestine had a clearer understanding of the term than the average church member in Christendom today. They were not confused by the theologians of 19 centuries who have attempted to fit the term into some system of theology. In this they were fortunate. They understood the term to be the sum total of all the prophecies of the Old Testament concerning the coming of the King from heaven to set up a kingdom on this earth with heaven’s standard. The concept is not new (Daniel 2:44; 7:14, 27). To read into this expression the history since John and Jesus made the first announcement is a presumption which the Scriptures will not countenance. The kingdom was near in the person of the King. The kingdom has not been postponed, as God still intends to carry out His earthly purpose on schedule — “Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion” (Psalm 2:6). God’s dealing with men since the rejection and crucifixion of the King has been in the framework of the kingdom of heaven. He is carrying out a heavenly purpose today “bringing many sons unto glory” (Hebrews 2:10). The calling out of the church is not synonymous with the kingdom of heaven, though the church is in the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 13). Neither is the term “kingdom of God” synonymous with “kingdom of heaven.” The “kingdom of God”' is a broader term that encompasses all of God’s creation, including angels. The church is in the kingdom of heaven, but it is not the same; likewise it is in the kingdom of God. Los Angeles is in the state of California, but it is not the same. California is in the United States and is part of it, but it is not identical to the whole country — in spite of what the Chamber of Commerce claims. It will be seen that the term “kingdom of heaven” is a progressive term in the Gospel of Matthew. It assumes the mystery form during the days of the rejection of the King, but the King becomes a sower in the world (Matthew 13). The kingdom will be established on this earth at the return of the King (Matthew 24, 25). God bless. John |

557 | Do you have any scriptures? | 2 Thess 2:3 | stjohn | 187984 | ||
Hi M.Royal I hope you don't mind my asking, but where does it say that the rapture/catching away, has to be the same event, as Christ's coming in judgment? That seems to be a supposition. And I'm kinda wondering if you are going to answer Marks question, you kinda left it laying there? I thought the ball was in your cort. so to speak. I was really trying to follow this discussion but it is getting a little confusing when someone asks for scripture to lend authority to the asking of a question, that he was using scripture to ask! That doesn't really follow a logical line of reasoning. Would you please clear things up for me? Thanks. God bless. John |

560 | should all we be speaking tongues aloud | 1 Cor 14:23 | stjohn | 187154 | ||
Dear Hodgit, Welcome to my heart! I can really relate to you, and you are most defiantly right in your thinking that it should be a privet thing. You mentioned that you saw this in reading the Scripture. Well, that should be your answer. You've got my amen! I must have read 1Cor. 50 times! To see if maybe I was missing something, because some at my church sure were. I hope no-one gets me wrong here because I do believe that some have this gift, Its just that unfortunately most that practice it, I believe do not have it, they are just copying those around them. I was even told that I should practice making gobbledygook sounds, and then the Holly Spirit would take over and do the Job for me. Well I thought. If I take it, then its not a gift is it? Let me tell you my friend, they were making me feel like a half baked Christian! But, I just thank God that He, that is the Holly Spirit, led me out of there. And don't get me wrong, I still have fellowship with them, some of them that is, but I don't go to that church. I have faith that God will keep his own no mater were they are. I believe there are believers in all kinds of churches and Ism's and He knows who they are, and He will take care of them and make sure they get fed what they need. They are not the problem, its the ones teaching that are the problem. And this is the verse that really gets to me. read this please. 1 Cor 14:23 Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad? Well my friend, how are we going to reach the lost sinners of the world if they think we are crazy?-! And this is just the kind of thing that the media gets hold of and points their finger and says. Lookie there, them crazy Christians are at it again! God bless. John |
