61 | food in the church | Bible general Archive 3 | Morant61 | 170306 | ||
Greetings Momma! There really isn't any Scripture that directly deals with this question. However, we do know from 1 Cor. 11:17ff that the church would gather together for meals. Of course, one key difference is that they did not have the same kinds of buildings that we do today. My personal preference is not to allow food or drink in the Sanctuary, but anywhere else is fine. I like to keep the Sanctuary holy. :-) I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

62 | Trinity | Bible general Archive 3 | Morant61 | 170318 | ||
Greetings Debra! Here is what Easton's Bible Dictionary says about your question: ********* Easton's Bible Dictionary Trinity [N] a word not found in Scripture, but used to express the doctrine of the unity of God as subsisting in three distinct Persons. This word is derived from the Gr. trias, first used by Theophilus (A.D. 168-183), or from the Lat. trinitas, first used by Tertullian (A.D. 220), to express this doctrine. The propositions involved in the doctrine are these: 1. That God is one, and that there is but one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Kings 8:60; Isaiah 44:6; Mark 12:29,32; John 10:30). 2. That the Father is a distinct divine Person (hypostasis, subsistentia, persona, suppositum intellectuale), distinct from the Son and the Holy Spirit. 3. That Jesus Christ was truly God, and yet was a Person distinct from the Father and the Holy Spirit. 4. That the Holy Spirit is also a distinct divine Person. These dictionary topics are from M.G. Easton M.A., D.D., Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Third Edition, published by Thomas Nelson, 1897. Public Domain, copy freely. ********* I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

63 | god shouldn't send people to hell. | Bible general Archive 3 | Morant61 | 171628 | ||
Greetings Muzka! I hope this doesn't sound rude my friend, but you can argue with God all you want, but He didn't ask for a vote - so your vote doesn't count. :-) There are so many points that need addressed in your post my friend, but just allow me to briefly touch upon a few. 1) God's Sovereignty: Scripture is clear that God is sovereign and can do what He wants. He doesn't need to justify anything to us. 2) God's love: God demonstrate His love and His justice by sending Christ to die for our sins. 3) Man's choice: If anyone goes to hell, it is because they choose to reject the free gift of God's grace. Why then can they complain if they end up in hell? 4) The seriousness of sin: Hell is a just punishment for our sin. When and if you get to Heaven, you will understand how serious sin is and all of your objections will disappear from your lips. :-) p.s. - Welcome to the forum. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings! There is no Scripture that forbids marriage between cousins. However, most states in the US do forbid it. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

65 | are there two joseph's in the bible | Bible general Archive 3 | Morant61 | 175893 | ||
Greetings! There are two Josephs in the Bible. There is Joseph, son of Jacob, whose life is described in Gen. 37-51. There is also Joseph, the husband of Mary, whose life is described in the Gospels (Mostly Matthew and Luke). I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Des! If you have a personal question for Mark, you should respond to his post with a note instead of a 'question'. That way, your post will not stay up on the question part of the forum, but Mark will get a notification that you have responded to him. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Philipps413! I understand your question, but this is not the place for counseling. Having said that, there is nothing in the Bible that states anything about black clouds over marriages. I would ask your pastor to explain what he means, or seek the advice of another pastor. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

68 | Adultery? | Bible general Archive 3 | Morant61 | 180500 | ||
Greetings Parable! You ask a very interesting question, but make some huge leaps in logic. :-) You state that: "It is also stated that Joseph was a righteous man, so divorcing Mary would have been righteous, on the grounds that she must have committed adultery." These statements simply do not logically follow from one another. Even though Joseph is a righteous man that does not mean that he is sinless. So, he could certainly be a righteous man and consider doing something sinful. Secondly, Joseph only considered putting her away privately. He did not actually do it. So, even if his considered action would have been sinful, he never actually did it. Finally, we know that Mary did not commit adultery since she knew no man until after the birth of Jesus. While most would have considered her to be either immoral or an adulteress because they did not know what God was doing, the fact remains that she did not commit adultery. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

69 | Mary's virginity remained intact | Bible general Archive 3 | Morant61 | 180512 | ||
Greetings Parable! Thanks for the clarification! There is no evidence that the action of the Holy Spirit was illicit or sexual. The Holy Spirit did not have sex with Mary. Scripture simply says that His power would overshadow her. So, I can't see anyway that the Spirit's actions could be construed as adultery. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

70 | Christ Jesus didnt have a wife, did he?? | Bible general Archive 3 | Morant61 | 181148 | ||
Greetings BabyBear! The short answer is that some people will believe anything. :) Seriously though, there is no Scripture or historical evidence that Jesus was married or had a mistress. Some French mystic in the 14th century supposedly (if I remember correctly) had a vision that the book 'Da Vinci Code' claimed as historical evidence. But simply put, there is no evidence. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Coltonjunior! If you type in "all I need is you" and Christian lyrics into a Search engine you will find that it is a song by a group called 'Hillsong'. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

73 | Adam first man or first man in Eden? | Bible general Archive 3 | Morant61 | 182144 | ||
Greetings Xina! Jeff gave you an excellent response. However, I would add a couple of points. Consider the following Scripture. 1 Cor. 15:45 says, " So it is written: ‘‘The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. " Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
||||||
74 | But what makes them the same creation? | Bible general Archive 3 | Morant61 | 182209 | ||
Greetings Xina! Several people have already responded to your main question concerning chapters one and two. They are correct in pointing out that chapter two simply highlights the creation of man in much more detail. So, it is not correct to say that there are two accounts, but one account repeated in more detail. For instance, notice that Gen. 2:5 says that there was no man to work the ground. Concerning Gen. 1:26 you quoted: ""Also go back and read the account of Creation in Genesis. Pay particular attention to Chapter 1 vs. 26. Notice that God did not say let us create Adam, but instead said, "man". Besides this pointing to the ligical conclusion that if man needed creating, then he (man) did not yet exist; the information in the previous verses clearly do not mention man."" It is important to note that the word for 'Adam' is the word for 'man' used in Gen. 1:26. They are the same word in Hebrew. Have a great day! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

75 | Unitarian Universalism? | Bible general Archive 3 | Morant61 | 182835 | ||
Greetings Vincent! If you are interested in a cult that believes everything except the Bible, then the Unitarian Church is the place for you! :-( Here is a quote from: http://www.gotquestions.org/ unitarian-universalism.html that gives a quick summary of their beliefs. ************* What is Unitarian Universalism? Question: "What is Unitarian Universalism?" Answer: Unitarian Universalism is a fairly small, yet widely influential, cult. Having under 300,000 registered members, mostly in the United States, they are becoming more and more popular. Relativism, tolerance, and alternative lifestyles are all buzz-words promoted by Unitarian Universalism. The Unitarian Universalist name comes from their denial of the doctrine of the Trinity and their belief that all human beings gain salvation--the mere idea someone might go to hell is not compatible with the character of a loving God. Its roots go all the way back to the sixteenth-century when Unitarian beliefs became popular during the Reformation. Unitarianism thought and Universalism thought were merged together during the late eighteenth-century in America during the Age of Reason. The intellectual elite of that time refused to believe in such biblical teachings as total depravity and eternal damnation, but rather embraced the idea of a single loving God who would never cause someone to suffer. Adherents of Unitarian Universalism base their beliefs primarily upon their own experiences, and are not committed to any one religious system. They believe that each individual has the right to decide for themselves what to believe in, and that others should not infringe upon this right. As a result, one such believer might lean toward liberal Christianity, while another might lean toward New Age spirituality. There is no real dogma beyond tolerance. They reject the Bible as being the Word of God, equating it with barbaric writing that has little to do with modern man; it is a book of myths. As such, they reject the Bible's portrayal of a Triune God, leaving the concept of God up to each individual's imagination. To Unitarian Universalism, Jesus was a good moral teacher, but nothing more. He is not considered to be divine, and every miracle associated with Him is rejected as being outside of human reason. Most sayings of Jesus recorded in the Bible are regarded as embellishments on the part of the authors. Jesus did not die to save mankind from sin, as man is not a fallen sinner. Emphasis is placed on humankind's capacity for goodness. Sin is completely relative, and the term itself is rarely used. Man saves himself through personal improvement, salvation being a purely worldly experience, a "waking up" to the world around oneself. This is very important, for death is final. Most Unitarian Universalists deny the existence of an afterlife, so all we have on earth is all we'll ever get. Unitarian Universalism has nothing in common with biblical Christianity. It is a false gospel; its teachings are contrary to the Bible, and its members strongly oppose traditional, biblical Christian beliefs (while purporting to be free of discrimination or prejudice of any kind). The Bible clearly refutes Unitarian Universalism on all the major points of its teachings. Recommended Resource: The Kingdom of the Cults, revised and updated edition. ************ I hope this helps!

76 | Can the Devil understand us when we pray | Bible general Archive 3 | Morant61 | 184687 | ||
Greetings Taby815! There is nothing in Scripture that indicates that the Devil cannot understand a prayer in tongues. Further, there is nothing that indicates that the Devil can block our prayers. Go ahead and pray boldly, there is nothing that Satan can do about it! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

77 | They are married,is it sin to have oral? | Bible general Archive 3 | Morant61 | 185137 | ||
Greetings Yowege! This would probably be a question better discussed with your pastor. Having said that, let me give you a couple of pointers. Oral sex is never once mentioned in Scripture, either to be condemned or condoned. However, as a pastor, I get to deal with questions like this in pre-marital counseling. Here is my basic rule. Anything is allowed within marriage as long as it is: 1) Not condemned by Scripture (like adultery). 2) Mutually consensual. 3) Not physically harmful to either partner. If you want to explore these sort of issues in more detail, I would recommend a book by Tim and Beverly LaHaye called "The Act of Marriage: The Beauty of Sexual Love". You can pick it up or order it at your local Christian bookstore. It only costs about six dollars. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

78 | eph 1:4-5 what is predestination, chosen | Bible general Archive 3 | Morant61 | 185244 | ||
Greetings! There are many different understandings of these particular words and their use and meaning in Scripture. For the Arminian perspective on this issue, I would recommend the books: "Life in the Son", and "Elect in the Son" by Robert Shank. They are both published by Westcott Publishers. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

79 | A church that does not practice tongues | Bible general Archive 3 | Morant61 | 185411 | ||
Greetings Godselect! There are plenty of Church's which fit this criteria! However, there are also plenty of Christians who would differ with your position on pastors and tongues. But, if you differ with them, simply find one of the many churches that would agree with your position. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
