5721 | Why Daniel 9:24-27? | Dan 9:24 | Searcher56 | 5382 | ||
Because they want to say the ruler is the antichrist. They want to have a gap between the 69th and 70th week. While it is possible to have a dual prophecy, it do not think so. Unless, the 70 "sevens" just started. Steve |

5722 | Explain "lost" in this scripture | Ezek 34:16 | Searcher56 | 5380 | ||
The lost are His sheep. Based on the context, I think they are Israel. The evil shepherds rfer to the kings of Judah ... caising the sheep to be lost. | ||||||
5723 | Were Eve's desires sinful? | Gen 3:6 | Searcher56 | 5353 | ||
Others have answered some of this ... You are right neither Eve or Christ were sinners when temptation came. Adam, too. Think about this ... It was her seed (Gen 3:15) and the Holy Spirit that produced Jesus. Whenever man got his seed invovled, the offspring were born sinners (Psa. 51:5). 1 John 2:16 does apply to Eve Gen 3:6 (vs 4)): -the lust of the flesh ... good for food (eat it) -the lust of the eyes ... pleasing to the eye (eyes opened) -the boastful pride of life ... gaining wisdom (not die, be like God, knowing good and evil) Christ also face the same three areas - flesh ... turn stone to bread and eat - eyes ... get the kingdoms of the world - life ... jump off the Temple What sin broght the curse on mankind? Disobedience. Were her desires the sin? Read James 1:13-15. Some say that the desire (epithumia) alone is sin. Mark 4:19, Romans 1:24 could support this. But, I think we need to take the next step. I see this elsewhere (Rom. 6:12, Gal 5:16, Eph. 2:3). Evil is added in Colossians 3:5, hurtful in 1 Timothy 6:9. Not all desire is bad (Luke 22:15, 1 The. 2:17). I think having the desire is not bad, just as long as I do not act on it. Note there are others verses people can use to support either view. Steve Butler |

5724 | Did God create evil? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 5335 | ||
God created everything good. The angels had freewill. Lucifer chose to do evil, by sinning. God is not the author of sin, yet evil serves his purposes. He does not violate our free will, yet free will serves his purposes. |

5726 | we shall all be changed | 1 Corinthians | Searcher56 | 5260 | ||
1 Cor. 15:55 is a quote from Hos. 13:14. Christ has victory over death. Thereby, we will not be subject to the second death. | ||||||
5727 | Elohim instead of God | Gen 1:1 | Searcher56 | 5257 | ||
There are three primary names for God in the OT. Elohim means more than two. Eloah (used 56 times in the OT, 41 are in Job) means two. El is the singular form. It means mighty, strong, prominent. Yes, it can be used of mortals, as well as false gods, like Baal. YHVH is the covenant name of God, Occurs 6823 times in the OT. First used in Gen. 2:4 (YHWH Elohim). From the verb "to be", havah, similar to chavah (to live). This name never refers to a false god or mortals. Adonai which means Lord, occurs 434 times in the OT, 214 in Ezekiel. This is used of mortals, too. |

5728 | Chosen by what method? | Acts 1:26 | Searcher56 | 5254 | ||
Casting lots today would be interesting. It would be Biblical, because Matthias was qualified according Acts 1:21-22. Today, no one meets those standards. We could select all who were qualified, according to the passages in Timothy and Titus ... then cast lots - throw the dice and choose the next pastor that way. However, I am not aware of any group that chooses that way. Some have the pastor selected for them, like the Catholics and Prebyterians. Others have the congragation vote on the pastor, after a committee asks the "best" qualified (sometimes). |

5729 | How did early saints know the faith? | Acts 6:7 | Searcher56 | 5251 | ||
1 The. 5:27 says to "read this letter to all" ... and I think this was done with the rest of the Bible. Many were unable to read, so they had to be read to. Even today, there are people without the written Word. Either because it is illegal to own a Bible, or because the Scripture has not been (fully) written in their language. |

5730 | How to choose ministers? | Acts 1:26 | Searcher56 | 5250 | ||
Based on the qualifications of 1 Tim. 3:1-13 and Titus 1:6-9. However, I see great danger if a son succeeds his father, beacuse there may be too much power gained, given or taken. | ||||||
5731 | What do we tell them? | Joel 1:3 | Searcher56 | 5249 | ||
Verse 4 is the answer ... what the locust left. But, I think your question may be better answered with, Due. 6. It is a start. Have edvidences of the Word around the house and take it as you go ... most important, live it. |

5734 | Covenants and Dispensation? | Eph 1:10 | Searcher56 | 5113 | ||
I have extracted stuff for con and pro. Like other topics, it is not important to me. Steve Con .... Dispensationalism is a form of premillennialism originating among the Plymouth Brethren in the early 1830s. The father of dispensationalism, John Nelson Darby, educated as a lawyer and ordained Anglican priest, was one of the chief founders of the Plymouth Brethren movement, which arose in reaction against the perceived empty formalism of the Church of England. To the Brethren the true invisible church was to come out of the apostate visible Church, rejecting such forms as priesthood and sacraments. Source: http://www.frii.com/ then gosplow/disp2.html ... or use a tidle Pro ... Some critics assume that dispensationalism is a recent doctrine invented by Dr. C. I. Scofield, editor of the famous Scofield Reference Bible, and J. N. Darby; implying that dispensationalism is a doctrine of modern times and does not have Biblical authority. However, research will show that neither C. I. Scofield or J. N. Darby are the inventors of dispensationalism or the final authority on the subject. From the first century, writers believed in different economies or administrations. Bible instructor Larry V. Crutchfield, of Baumholder, West Germany, has written an article titled Ages and Dispensations Of The Ante-Nicene Fathers. In it he points out that the Fathers of early church history believed in divisions of history based on God's dealings with man. He states, Among those whose doctrine of ages and dispensations has survived from the Ante-Nicene period are Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, Methodius, and to a minor degree Victorinus of Petau. Crutchfield says that Barnabas year-day tradition is the earliest budding of the dispensational understanding of God's dealings with man. Source: http://www.biblebelievers.com/BlueDISP.html |

5735 | How should be interpret Joshua 10:12-14? | Josh 10:12 | Searcher56 | 5112 | ||
God could of done a number of things. It is a question He'll be asked by many. Have NASA computers really proven Joshua's 'long day'? No. They deny that it ever took place. Plus theere is a need for a starting point of time, too. The story goes back to Charles A. L. Totten’s "Joshua’s Long Day and the Dial of Ahaz: A Scientific Vindication" (1890), before computers. |

5737 | Is being "slain in the spirit" biblical? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 5110 | ||
One of the most common manifestations is that of being 'slain in the Spirit', when a person loses all motor control over their body and falls to the floor or ground. Advocates of the practice make a claim that there is Scriptural warrant for this sign. But does this claim hold up? Let's look at the Bible references thatare used to support the practice. - The reference in Chronicles (2 Chronicles 5:14) is about when the Ark was brought to the completed Temple. During the service, right before Solomon spoke, "the Lord's house was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud". - The first Matthew reference (Matthew 17:6) is to the Transfiguration, where God showed the three key disciples what the significance of the Law and the Prophets were: that Jesus was greater, as the living fulfillment of them. It was a direct and unique encounter with the divine Presence, enough to make anyone quiver. - The second Matthew reference (Matthew 28:4) is about the guards at Jesus' tomb, literally paralyzed by fear when the angel appeared, sitting on the rolled-away stone. - The John reference (John 18:6) is to the action of the Roman soldiers when they reached Jesus to arrest Him. When they heard him identify himself, they retreated from him and fell to the ground. In this case, in answering that he's the one they seek to arrest, Jesus uses a term that people in the Middle East, Gentile and Jew alike, could have recognized as the name of the Jewish God, "I Am". Given why they went to arrest him, that would've taken me aback for a moment had I heard it. - The Acts reference (Ac 9:4-8) is to Paul's Damascus Road experience, where Saul was blinded (v.8) by light from heaven (v.3) and fell to the ground, probably from the shock of what had happened to him. His fellow travelers heard the voice, but saw nothing except Saul's reactions and blindness. Paul recounts this experience before the Jews in Jerusalem, in Acts 22, and again before Agrippa in Acts 26. The Revelations reference (Rv 1:17) was of John, the writer of the Revelation, speaking of the vision which gave him the messages to the churches in Asia Minor. This vision was one of seeing the glorified Christ in His full heavenly setting. It is said in the Old Testament that the sight of God is too much for humans to take. John, at least in this vision, got to see the most see-able part of divinity, that of Jesus, but in its heavenly setting, even that much was too much, and John fell at His feet "like a dead man". Then, Christ laid his hand on him, to calm his fears. (Also, read Dan. 10:5ff) In only one of these cases was there anyone falling down because of things that happened during a worship service or a church gathering, and that was at the original Temple in Jerusalem, when God moved into it for a home and thus started a new phase in the divine covenant with the Jewish nation. This was an unparalleled act that made for effective power over an entire society, unbeliever as well as believer. In none of these cases did it happen because anyone laid hands on or said prayers over anyone. In Revelation, Christ gives John a hand of comfort after John falls down. Similarly, Jesus gives that same assuring hand to the disciples after the Transfiguration. Robert Longman Jr |

5739 | Did Jesus back up His claim in Jno 8:58? | John 8:58 | Searcher56 | 5108 | ||
His word is enough ... and the Jews knew what He was saying. In Mark 2:5, Jesus forgave the paralytic's sins. The leaders knew only God could do this (vv. 6-7). Jesus then proved who He was (vv. 8-10). There is much more. Jesus never changes (Hebrews 13:8). |

5740 | Jesus Himself said, I AM | John 8:58 | Searcher56 | 5078 | ||
Italicized words are becuase the translaters want help (sic) us becuase we may not get the full meaning. They sometimes add or take away from the meaning. He is the I AM ... which means He was God. He hads no beginning or end. Steve |
