63 | what do JW and Mormons believe | Bible general Archive 4 | Makarios | 228681 | ||
Greetings Legsrandall, You asked, "Do the Mormons and the Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus Christ and satan are brothers?" The Mormons definitely do: see http://www.bible-truth.org/jesusbro.htm or http://www.suite101.com/content/are-jesus-and-satan-brothers-a38726. The Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus was Michael the Archangel and they also believe that Jesus is not co-equal in Deity with God the Father (http://christiananswers.net/q-eden/edn-r005.html). The Biblical doctrine of the Trinity shows these cults for what they are - false teaching being used by Satan to lead the world astray from the truth. Blessings to you, Makarios |

65 | Different version of the Bible? | Bible general Archive 3 | Makarios | 157710 | ||
Greetings Rican, As for Spanish Bibles, I know that there is the Spanish La Biblia de las Americas and the Spanish Nueva Biblia de los Hispanos, both sponsored by the Lockman Foundation, who also sponsor this website. As for other Spanish Bibles, I know that there is the Spanish Reina-Valera (that you could probably pick up at any Bible Bookstore), and the Spanish Sagradas Escrituras. You can download all four of these Spanish Bibles (the last two mentioned are free) off of http://www.e-sword.net. Blessings to you, Makarios |

66 | ... | Bible general Archive 3 | Makarios | 158206 | ||
Greetings Agnostic, You ask: "Do you believe in God? If so, then why?" I assume that you are asking this as a personal question. Therefore, I will try to answer you in a personal way. Believing in God and knowing that He exists has completely changed my life and my perspective on everything! When I first became saved, I thought to myself: what is the meaning behind life? Why are we here? What real purpose is there for living life? And, if we were created by a higher being, then why? We live in this world and attempt to attain wealth, social standing, possibly a family, or anything really that you aspire to or enjoy.. But after you have obtained wealth, after you have gained popularity, after you have a family and every thing that you could ever want, then what next? What next after that? For me, there had to be something else that was elusive to me - something that means so much more than mere obtaining, and something that I could not aspire to on my own that was at the time completely beyond my grasp. Well, that "thing" that was beyond my grasp before I was saved was the Lord Jesus Christ. And knowing Him in a personal way has not only proven to me that I need Him, but it has also proven to me that He really does exist, and everything written about Him in Scripture is the truth. I found that the purpose for humanity living and existing is to have a personal relationship with the One who was responsible for our creation in the first place, Jesus Christ. To know Jesus in a personal way is much more than just following rules, experiencing a "high", or going to church and reading your Bible. Knowing Jesus in a personal way is having a relationship with Christ that grows in a real way. And anyone, even you, could have a spiritual relationship with Christ if they consciously make the decision of your own volition to let Him into your life! And He will show His love towards you and give you an overwhelming sense of hope and worth that you will never know unless you let Him into your life. This is just the tip of the iceberg, but I certainly can tell you that Jesus lives, beyond any shadow of a doubt! If you would like to see other Christian testimonies of coming to salvation, I invite you to surf to: http://www.christiantestimonies.org/ Blessings to you, Makarios |

67 | help with term paper on demon possesion | Bible general Archive 3 | Makarios | 158289 | ||
Greetings Jobeth! Would this be for New Testament Survey? A very good book that I can recommend on Spiritual Warfare is "3 Crucial Questions about Spiritual Warfare" by Clinton E. Arnold, 1997, Baker Books (http://www.bakerbooks.com) ISBN 0-7394-0056-8. As for help on your paper, as long as you remain within the Biblical context of each scripture reference that you cite, you should be Ok. Blessings to you, Makarios |

68 | srry i dont see the blue letter | Bible general Archive 3 | Makarios | 159288 | ||
Greetings Lil_kea13, I've noticed that your question has been up all day.. I have owned many Bibles, but I have never owned one that had "blue lettering." I've owned Bibles that have had black letters in them, and some even have had red letters in them. But I have never had a Bible with blue letters in it. Therefore, even if Bows44 does get mad at you for not having a "blue letter bible", there is a very good and useful website called "http://www.blueletterbible.org" that one can go to to learn more about the Bible! :-) Blessings to you, Makarios |

69 | are there any persecutions of christians | Bible general Archive 3 | Makarios | 160818 | ||
Greetings Steentay, The Bible tells us to pray for all of the Christians in the world who are being oppressed and suffering persecution because of their faith in the Lord (Hebrews 13:3, Matthew 25:34-40, Matthew 5:10, 1 Peter 3:13-17, 1 Peter 4:12-14). There are a few very good internet websites where we can read, learn, and even participate in remembering those who are currently suffering in Jesus's name: (http://www.persecution.com, http://www.christianpersecution.info/). A lot of persecution and Christian suffering is brought on by the hands of anti-Christian groups and governments that are seeking to proselytize their peoples in a militaristic way, forcing them to choose to follow a specific religion. In the United States of America, we largely have the freedom of following whichever creed that we care to follow, as long as that creed does not violate the freedom of another. But there are many in this world who live in places that are not tolerant of religious freedoms, and people who are Christians suffer at the hands of those who fear the spread of Christianity. But Christianity has never been something that should stay with one person, but to be spread and communicated and translated to everything and everyone. Most Christians are not as informed about Christian persecution that is happening in the greater world. But in today's society, and with the coming of the internet, we now have the means of being able to be more aware of what is happening, and be able to make a difference through the websites that I have mentioned above, and through prayer, which has always been the most important service that we can render to those in persecution. Blessings to you, Makarios |

72 | How did 1st century Rome affect Israel? | Bible general Archive 3 | Makarios | 160826 | ||
Greetings Seeker08, After Jesus ascended into heaven, the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost, and Christianity began to spread throughout the world. Christianity faced so many obstacles in the 1st century, but as the church grew, it became apparent that the efforts by the Jewish leaders to suppress the Christian faith helped it to spread as the scattered church gained new converts wherever the disciples went (Acts 11:19). The Christian base was no longer Jerusalem (Acts 3), but moved to Antioch (Acts 11:20,22,26,27), and to many other cities as the disciples spead. Paul was a unique apostle because he was a Roman citizen, and therefore was able to travel throughout the entire Roman Empire, delivering the Gospel wherever he went, and growing the church. In this era of Pax Romana, or peace, Christianity was able to thrive as ideas were exchanged and Roman citizens who were converts to Christianity were able to share their faith. Perhaps the early Roman attitude towards Christianity was much like that of Gamaliel, who in Acts 5:34-39 suggested that the Jews simply leave the Christians alone and give this new 'Way' time to flame out. But Christianity would not die, but only grow in leaps and bounds and eventually conquer the Roman Empire itself. At first Christianity must have seemed just another new religion from the Near East, one among many. The birth of this new religion did not seem that important to Rome - it was merely seen as a local sensation in an obscure and backward province. And the Romans would deal with what they DID see as a problem - a newfound Jewish nationalism - that would efficiency be dealt with in the Jewish War of 66-70 A.D. The Romans destroyed the Jewish Temple, and now today all that is left standing of the Jewish Temple is the western wall. The Roman Empire normally tolerated religions, as long as their adherents were willing to sacrifice to the emperor. But Christianity was eventually able to make great gains within Roman society. As Christianity grew, it quickly became illegal, since Christians would worship God alone, and not the emperor. In A.D. 64, the Roman emperor Nero burned to death many Christians, beginning a great persecution of Christianity that would last until 313 A.D., which is when Christianity became officially 'tolerated' by the Roman Empire. As long as Christianity remained illegal, Christians were at the mercy of imperial disfavor and unpopularity. But fortunately, no emperor regarded Christianity as much of a threat to institute a systematic, empire-wide campaign against them until 249 A.D. There were, however, a number of local, temporary persecutions and many, many martyrs up until that time. But Christianity would grow in spite of persecution, and end up being victorious in Roman society. Blessings to you, Makarios |

73 | Baptist/Pentecostal | Bible general Archive 3 | Makarios | 161077 | ||
Greetings Joyous4U, The words "pentecostal" and "baptist" describe a great many peoples, groups and congregations that may or may not follow specific tenets of faith that are shared by others that call themselves "baptist" or "pentecostal." There are so many groups! But to compare two of the larger groups, or denominations, that call themselves "baptist" or "pentecostal": The Baptist Statement of Faith of the Southern Baptist Convention (the largest Baptist group) can be found at http://www.baptist2baptist.net/, or more specifically, http://www.sbc.net/bfm/bfm2000.asp The Statement of Faith of the Pentecostal Assemblies of God of America can be found at http://www.paga.org/statemen.htm By comparing the two websites above, hopefully you will be able to gain a good grasp of the differences in the beliefs of baptists and pentecostals. Blessings to you, Makarios |

74 | What to do with murders on Earth? | Bible general Archive 3 | Makarios | 161751 | ||
Greetings Betty Hall, You ask: "What does the Bible says about what to do with murders here on Earth?" Are you asking: 1) a question about capital punishment? 2) what to do about people who murder? 3) the murders that are committed themselves? And, if your answer is #3, then what specifically about murder do you want to analyze? --Makarios |
||||||
75 | Is infanticide good? | Bible general Archive 3 | Makarios | 161758 | ||
Absolutely not! The Bible says that murder is a sin (Exodus 20:13). Therefore, if you kill another human being, be that an adult, child, or infant, then you are sinning against the Lord, and guilt rests upon you. In no way whatsoever should infanticide be seen as "a free ticket to heaven" or anything that exemplifies liberation. This kind of discussion should not be examined any further on this StudyBibleForum. --Makarios |

77 | Is there such thing as Purgatory? | Bible general Archive 3 | Makarios | 161802 | ||
Question: "Is there such thing as Purgatory?" Answer: The Bible does not mention the word "purgatory," nor does it give any support whatsoever to any idea that there is a waiting place for people who die that they can be redeemed out of. Blessings to you, Makarios |

79 | why leg hair? | Bible general Archive 3 | Makarios | 161835 | ||
Greetings Bacon_bits! Why leg hair? :-) I only wish I knew.. But seriously, skin color and leg hair and things of that sort are the choice of the creator (Jeremiah 13:23). Both men and women have hair on their legs, but men are much less prone in today's society to shave their legs than women are. Hair has most generally served the purpose of conserving as much heat as possible, and possibly protecting from sunburn. Men also generally have more bodily hair than women do, and I suppose that just comes as part of our bodily makeup. :-) Blessings to you, Makarios |

80 | Could different Christianities be right? | Bible general Archive 3 | Makarios | 161861 | ||
Greetings Nonorientable1, Baptists are Protestants, as are the Methodists, Presbyterians, Mennonites, Wesleyans, and Pentecostals. The essence of Christianity and what makes Christianity what it is will always be the Gospel message of Jesus Christ (Matt. 28:19, Acts 2:36, 4:10; 1 Cor. 1:23, 2:2). Now, there are many things that Christians disagree about, such as infant baptism, the sacraments, how to worship, the spiritual gifts, whether we should worship on Saturday instead of Sunday, etc, etc, etc.. This is why there are so many different Protestant Christian denominations. But the essence of Christianity will always remain the same - the undeniable Gospel message of the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessings to you, Makarios |
