61 | Revelation 1:14-15 | Rev 1:14 | prayon | 165708 | ||
Greetings again rodgger, I am sorry I missed your second question. Very good question. People want an image of Jesus to either remind them of who they are or to show others or make others think that they are followers of Jesus. Since there is no description in the bible of what Jesus looks like people have made up their own images of what they believe He looks like. Also many times we are brought up to believe something that is not biblical but since we were brought up that way we do not question it and just go along with it. That is why 1Jo 4:1 tells us that whatever we hear test it, make sure that it lines up with the Word. Ask your pastor in a humble way why the picture of Jesus hangs there and to show you why he believes it lines up with the Word. prayon |

62 | Is physical communion needed? | 1 Cor 11:23 | prayon | 165706 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum! Yes. In verse 25 it says "Do this in remembrance of Me". Verse 26 goes on to say that each time we take communion we proclaim the Lord's death until He comes. In v 33 Paul says "when you come together" which tells us that they were to do so in the future, not just the one time that Paul was doing it with them. The bible, however, does not tell us how often to partake of the Lords supper and different denominations have different viewpoints on how often it should be done. Hope this helps. prayon |

63 | Revelation 1:14-15 | Rev 1:14 | prayon | 165705 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. You don't find that He has blonde hair and blue eyes in the bible at all. The only description of Jesus that is in the bible is in Rev. There is another verse that states something to the effect that His looks did not cause Him to stand out in a crowd but I can't find the exact verse. The language used here to describe Jesus comes from Dan 7:9 - "I watched until the thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days sat, whose robe was white as snow, and the hair of His head like the pure wool. His throne was like flames of fire, and His wheels like burning fire. The description in Rev is probably symbolic. White denotes purity and triumph, wool signifies His wisdom. Wool is commonly supposed to be an emblem of eternity. His flaming eyes signified piercing, all seeing, flashing light, and also a consuming fire of the wicked. His feet mentioned in v.15 "And his feet like fine brass" - Denoting his stability and strength. We are not necessarily to suppose that this is the form in which the Saviour always appears now in heaven, anymore than we are to suppose that God appears always in the form in which he was manifested to Isaiah Isa_6:1, to Daniel Dan_7:9, or to Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu in the mount, Exo_24:10-11 (Albert Barnes notes on the bible). Hope this helps. prayon |

64 | Still puzzled as to how he was woken | Ex 21:5 | prayon | 165647 | ||
Greetings, I was in Mississippi doing volunteer work when Rita went into Texas. Even though I was in a fifth wheel that was "rocking" in the wind I was able to go to sleep and stay asleep because I had no fear of the storm - I knew that God would keep me safe. However if my cell phone would of rung I would of woke up. I think it was the same with Jesus. He had no fear of the storm and was at total peace through it, so He fell asleep and slept through it. I think it might of "rocked" Him to sleep even. However, when the disiples tried to wake Him up he awoke for them. Does this example help at all? prayon | ||||||
65 | Was Jesus (shaken) awake in the boat | Ex 21:5 | prayon | 165626 | ||
Greetings ceebee7, Jesus was not shaken awake. His discipes awakened Him when they grew fearful of the storm. Each reference you gave me stated that fact. prayon | ||||||
66 | When did Jesus know He was God? | John 1:1 | prayon | 165547 | ||
Greetings srinaldi, He knew from the beginning. John 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." The Word is one of the titles of our Lord, found only in the writings of John. (Easton Bible Dictionary). prayon |

67 | is the typeology correct? | Bible general Archive 3 | prayon | 165538 | ||
Greetings Chusarcik, If you are interested in typology may I suggest 2 bboks by Ervin N Hershberger - Seeing Christ in the old Testament and Seeing Christ in the Tabernacle. I enjoyed both books very much. prayon | ||||||
68 | What does the Bible say RE:gambling? | Rom 14:22 | prayon | 165454 | ||
Greetings Saltoftheearth, I agree with what the blue letter bible site says. Gambling is not a sin however, sin does enter in if you let the gambling rule your life. For instance drinking alcohol is not a sin but it becomes a sin when you overindulge and become drunk because is takes your eyes off of what is important - Jesus. Sin can also come in in my opinion if winnnings are not tithed upon since it is a type of income. I also agree with Wild Irish Shoot - if you feel convicted not to go then don't go. Jesus has a reason for putting that conviction in your heart. Hope this helps. prayon |

69 | Should a preacher be revered | 1 John 2:20 | prayon | 165453 | ||
Greetiings Mcp05, According to the definitions below the answer is no. We should be respectful and obedient to our pastors but we should by no means worship or idolize them. They are servants just as we are but with a different calling on their lives. Revered REVE'RED,1) Regarded with fear mingled with respect and affection; 2) To regard with awe, deference, and devotion. 3) profoundly honored; "revered holy men" 4) worthy of adoration or reverence Synonyms: revere, worship, venerate, adore, idolize Hope this answers your question. prayon |

70 | Did my dad go to heaven or hell? | Matt 18:3 | prayon | 165414 | ||
Greetings Tyrone, I can only tell you what the bible says in Mat 18:3: "Then he said to them, "I can guarantee this truth: Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." I am in the same situation with my best friend who was killed. What I do know is that we do not know what happened in the final minutes or seconds of their life. You can be 1 minute from death and receive Jesus and still enter into the gates of heaven. And you do not have to do it verbally - only in your heart. You do not know what happened in the last minutes or seconds your father had on earth or where his heart led him. Our prayers can not change where a dead loved one will spend eternity so I am not sure why you felt led to pray for your father - but maybe God wants you to use his death to bring others to Christ. prayon |

71 | Gross or Net Income/ | Mal 3:10 | prayon | 165407 | ||
Greetings emt2001 and welcome to the forum! Mal 3:10 says that we are to tithe 10 percent of our income. Our income is what we earn - before taxes. You are to tithe on your gross income. See also Deut 26:1-3; Prov 3:9-10 1Cor 9:13-14 for what tithes should be used for; 2Cor 9:6-8 for the way to tithe. Hope this helps! prayon |

Greetings jlguy, The bible gives no exact number but Gen 5:4 says "And the days of Adam after he had fathered Seth were eight hundred years." I am sure that in all those years he was the father to more than the 4 mentioned by name! prayon |

76 | Were there 2 or 4 men hung on the cross | Matt 27:38 | prayon | 165343 | ||
Greetings jalanlambert, There were 2 men crucified with Jesus. According to Websters Dictionary a malefactor is "one who commits a crime; one guilty of violating the laws, in such a manner as to subject him to public prosecution and punishment, particularly to capital punishment; a criminal." Malefactor therefore is interchangable with thieves. According to different translations the words robber and criminal are also used. Hope this answers your question. prayon |

77 | Did Abram see Christ in Genesis 15:1? | Gen 15:1 | prayon | 165305 | ||
Olease forgive the previous entry -Greetings bible 101, Yes it does. Christ, the essential Word, appeared to Abram in a way that was visible to Abram by the appearance of the Shechinah glory, or some sensible token of the presence of the divine glory or in a human form that was visible to Abram, and with an articulate voice spoke to him. prayon |

79 | spelling xmas instead of Christmas | Bible general Archive 3 | prayon | 165300 | ||
Greetings jrose3, I agree with Shelly - Jesus is the reason for the season but some of the world does not believe in Christ and for one reason or another they want to ignore the "Christ" part of the season. Wherever you see a sign that has an "x" on it it means that you can't do it. For example an "x" on a u-turn sign means that no u-turn is allowed. It is no different when you put the "x" in place of Christ in Christmas. However since there are many, many abreviations I am sure that people just think that it is an abbrieviation or a shorter way of writing Christmas. I don't believe that many people realize that that is exactly what "xmas" means. prayon |

80 | what are the 7 churches spirits in Rev1 | Rev 1:11 | prayon | 165298 | ||
Greetings varsha, The first church in Revelations is the church in Ephesus also known as the loveless church. The warning given to that church was that they had lost their first love. Jesus was telling them that they neede to return back to their first love. The church had become more dependent on themselves than on God. (2:4) The 2nd church was the church Symrna or the persecuted church. This church was told to get their focus back on God. (2:10) Third was the church in Pergamos also known as the compromising church. This church was given the warning to repent. They became involved in the works of the flesh. Many had once again become involved in the doctrine of Baalam and the Nicolaitans. (2:12) The fourth church is the church at Thyatira or the Corrupt church. This church had let themselves be influenced by Jezebel. (2:20) The fifth church was the church in Sardis. This church was also known as the lifeless or dead church. The church was busy but not about the business of God. The sixth church was the church in Philidelphia. This church was known as the faithful chruch. This church was obedient to God. We should all strive to copy this church. The last church was the church in Laodocia or the lukewarm church. This church has become complacent running neither hot or cold. (3:16) The 7 spirits mentioned in Rev 1:4 is a reference to Isaiah's prophecy concerning the 7 fold ministry of the Holy Spirit (Is 11:2). Hope this helps. prayon |
