61 | Israelites first going to Heaven | Psalm | InGodITrust | 189109 | ||
Lupuschick, Good afternoon, Here's what I found on the web; Question: I was recently asked the question about the promise of Heaven. They asked is there any place in the Old Testament that mentions the promise of Heaven? Did the patriarchs even consider such a hope? The only thing that I thought of was Jobs statement in Job 14:14 - "If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come." (KJV) If you or any one else can help me with this question I would be grateful. Response: There is not a lot in the Old Testament about heaven except to say that it is the abode of God. When someone died in the Old Testament he went to Sheol, the heart of the earth. When Samuel appeared to Saul, we see him coming up out of the earth (1 Sam. 28:12-15). Even when Jesus died he went to the heart of the earth (Matt. 12:40: Acts 2:27; Rom. 10:7; Eph. 4:9; 1 Peter 3:18-19). It seems that Sheol (aka the Underworld, Abyss, Deep, Hades) was compartmentalized into a place of torment and a place of comfort according to our Lord's story of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31). My belief is that a believer could not go directly into the presence of God until Jesus actually paid for the sins of the world in time. However, now when a believer dies he goes directly to be with the Lord (Acts 7:59; 2 Cor. 5:8; Phi. 1:20-23). There are a few allusions and several clear references to a resurrection in the Old Testament (Job 14:7-15; 19:26; Psa. 16:9-11; 49:14-15; 73:23-26 Isa. 25:8; 53:12 and especially Isa. 26:19; Dan. 12:2, 13; Hos. 13:14), but the Old Testament does not say much about what was expected afterwards. However we do read in the New Testament that Abraham "looked for a city . . . . whose builder and maker is God" (Heb. 11:10). I understand this to refer to the New Jerusalem (Rev. 3:12; 21:2 also John 14:1-3), which is the ultimate dwelling place of the child of God, or what we would call "heaven." http://www.apostolic.net/biblicalstudies/otheaven.htm Hope this helps, InGodITrust |

62 | to be in Gods presence | Ps 16:11 | InGodITrust | 189083 | ||
BJMAY, I would have to do some research.....very good question!!! "In Thy presence is fulness of joy.In Thy right hand there are pleasures forever." For Thou dost make him most blessed forever; Thou dost make him joyful with gladness in Thy presence. Psalm 21:6 Hope this gets you started. Do you have a reference Bible? If you do just follow the reference off of Psalm 16:11 Blessings, InGodITrust |

63 | Who are the "sons of God" in Genesis 6? | Gen 6:2 | InGodITrust | 189064 | ||
Buzzard86, Blessing Buzzard, The most accepted answer to that question is fallen angels that occupied human bodies. These would be of those who followed Satan in the initial rebellion. One third of the angelic beings fell along with Satan. God bless, InGodITrust |

thuli, God told Moses, when asked His name, "I am that I am." Moses asked, "what shall I say when they ask me your name? God said, "tell them I AM sent me."

66 | Is it a sin to be cremated after you die | Psalm | InGodITrust | 189043 | ||
cheruboverme, Well I certainly hope not. I just lost my wife of 20years and we decided to cremate. Couldn't decide whether to bury her in Oklahoma or here in Colorado. Her family is in Oklahoma and myself, 2 sons, her daughter and family in Colorado. So, what do we do? Oklahoma means we would have to drive 450 miles to see her. Colorado means they would have the same distance. We opted for cremation and brought her home. Any family member who would like to have some of her ashes in a special urn or whatever can have her with them where ever they are. It may seem gross to some but my wife and my sons Mother "is sitting on the coffee table." There is no Biblical position whatever. When the resurrection occurs God will put them in their new body no matter what the condition. The body is just a store house while here on earth. Hope this helps, God bless, InGodITrust |

67 | Can the devil tune in to our thoughts? | Bible general Archive 3 | InGodITrust | 188224 | ||
Matt 6:33, One of my favorite verses, Matthew 6:33.... I would like to add my thoughts to your question of, "can Satan read our thoughts." I realize the Bible does not specifically say yes or no. But think about it, only human beings have a mouth, tongue, vocal cords, and so on; spiritual beings do not of which Satan is one. Second Corinthians 4:4 states, "the god of this world has blinded their minds..." indicating that Satan can/has put thoughts in human minds. To me it is obvious that all spiritual beings communicate (or can) without the use of a "tongue." Well, how then do they communicate if they do not have vocal cords and a tongue? It seems obvious they communicate telepathically. If this is so, I would suggest they can read our thoughts, whether believer or unbeliever. I have walked with God over 40 years and am very conservative and cautious. This is strictly "my opinion" and just that, an opinion. However, I base this on many many years of observation with both myself and others. Again, it is just my observation; But, how else do "spiritual beings communicate?" And, are we also going to say that "God can not or does not read our thougts?" The scriptures clearly say He does, and if so, there is nothing to indicate in scripture that other spiritual beings can not. Psalm 139:4 says, "even before there was a word on my tongue, behold, O Lord, Thou dost know it all." Interesting isn't it............? Your thougts? (or anyone else....) InGodITrust |

Ohop, Your in luck, or should I say "God's grace." It took me a few moments to find it but I thought all along it was the apostle Paul and it was. He loved his people the Jews so much that he wished himself accursed for their sake in that they were refusing to acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Messiah. Glad I could help, God Bless......

72 | significance of 4 requests specifically | Ex 12:11 | InGodITrust | 188030 | ||
Jellybean66, You have posted a very interesting question which may result in numerous answers. Since this is the passover and God usually includes "some clues for the future," it could be several "pictures." The death angel is coming, he will "passover those under the blood." I think, in a sense, it is a picture of when God will take the righteous out of this world "in the blink of an eye." Hurry, make haste, be prepared for God is coming." "It is the Lord's passover." Let's see who and what the others on the forum think? God bless, InGodITrust |

73 | How many ressurections are there? | 2 Thess 2:3 | InGodITrust | 188017 | ||
M.Royal, If you count all three, as I do, the first resurrection is the gathering up (rapture) of living believers and the those in the grave that were believers, is the first. The second would be those who came to Christ during the "great tribulation," being resurrected to the thousand year period. The final and third will be all the unsaved-lost dead for the final resurrection. And for all the final judgment, believers unto the bema seat or Christ's judgment, the lost unto "the great white throne judgment." At this time the lost and Satan will be cast into the lake of fire forever. It's been many years since I studied this out but that is "a basic explanation." I think that answers Rev.20:4,6 Verse 5, "this is the first resurrection," refers back to verse 4, those who died for Christ during the great tribulation. Giving you a blessing, InGodITrust |

76 | what are the names of Jesus' sisters? | Matthew | InGodITrust | 187973 | ||
rccola, Greeting In Christ, Here's what I know: Question: "Did Jesus have brothers and sisters (siblings)?" Answer: Jesus’ brothers are mentioned in several Bible verses. Matthew 12:46, Luke 8:19, and Mark 3:31 say that Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him. The Bible tells us that Jesus had four brothers: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas (Matthew 13:55). The Bible also tells us that Jesus had sisters, but they are not named or numbered (Matthew 13:56). In John 7:1-10, His brothers go on to the festival while Jesus stays behind. In Acts 1:14, His brothers and mother are described as praying with the disciples. Later, in Galatians 1:19, it mentions that James was Jesus’ brother. The most natural conclusion of these passages is to interpret that Jesus had actual blood siblings. http://www.gotquestions.org/Jesus-siblings.html Blessings, InGodITrust |

77 | gap therory | Gen 1:1 | InGodITrust | 187970 | ||
chach, Good question, and full of debate unless you take the Bible "literally." Last time I heard, the answer was around 6000 to 6500 years. By those that take the 24 hour periods in Genesis as "literal." Secular scientist that use "carbon dating," for one, are in trouble with most creationist scientist. There seems to be many problems with carbon dating. Experiments have been done on bones that were years old and the carbon dating showed them to be thousands of years old. This ought to get some responses by others! Best I can do for now.......... InGodITrust |

78 | symbol of fish | NT general Archive 1 | InGodITrust | 187969 | ||
justsomebody, The fish symbol, here's what I was able to find: The fish was an early symbol of Christian faith that endures today on bumper stickers and businesses as a sign of Christian faith. The fish is thought to have been chosen by the early Christians for several reasons: the Greek word for fish (ICHTUS), works nicely as an acrostic for "Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior" the fish would not be an obvious Christian symbol to persecutors Jesus' ministry is associated with fish: he chose several fishermen to be his disciples and declared he would make them "fishers of men." It is said that during the persecution of the early church, a Christian meeting someone new would draw a single arc in the sand. If the other person was a Christian, he or she would complete the drawing of a fish with a second arc. If the second person was not a Christian, the ambiguity of the half-symbol would not reveal the first person as a Christian. The second fish symbol above is the ICHTHUS fish, with the Greek word for fish written out to emphasize the symbolic acrostic described above. Although the word looks like IXOYE, the letters are from the Greek alphabet, so the "I" is actually an iota, the "X" is actually a chi, the "O" is actually a theta, the "Y" is an upsilon, and the "E" or "C" at the end is a sigma. Taking the first sound from each of these Greek letter names, we get the transliteration into our alphabet of ICHTHUS. Today, when Christians (in the West) do not need to worry about persecution, the Christian fish symbol often has "Jesus" written inside or includes a cross symbol. And of course, there have been many spoofs and variations of the popular Christian symbol, such as the famous "Darwin fish" (with legs). The fish is also a symbol of baptism, since a fish is at home in the water. http://www.religionfacts.com/christianity/symbols/fish.htm Yours truly in Him, InGodITrust |

80 | defiling bodies by eating meat? | Bible general Archive 3 | InGodITrust | 187943 | ||
Angel72, As Moran61 said, "what scripture are you referring to? If you are talking in general then defiling ones body has more to do with sexual sins. They are many out there that would tell you "all kinds of stuff." And, of course, are we talking about a New Testament issue or an Old Testament issue as there would be a different frame of reference? Looking forward to your response. InGodITrust |
