61 | Enoch and Elijah didn't see God yet? | John 3:13 | BMyers | 232502 | ||
No I don't, but I do see a problem with just completely ignoring the verses that clearly state that Enoch did not die or Elijah went to heaven. So John 3:13 is more important of a verse than the others so we can disregard them? Or maybe we need to look for an explanation that fits all the verses. In both cases, Enoch and Elijah didn't ascend to heaven, but was taken to heaven. No man can ascend to heaven on his own, only through the power of God. Couple of websites that explain better than I: http://www.gotquestions.org/John-3-13.html http://www.learnthebible.org/john-313-contradiction-or-not.html Brad |

62 | Enoch and Elijah didn't see God yet? | John 3:13 | BMyers | 232497 | ||
I find you use of Gen 5:23 interesting. If you note, every other person listed in chapter 5 states that the individual died, with the the exceptation of Enoch. Hebrews 11:5 very clearly states that Enoch did not die. By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. (Hebrews 11:5 ESV) Brad |

63 | Enoch and Elijah didn't see God yet? | John 3:13 | BMyers | 232471 | ||
If I understand your question correctly, you are saying no one can be in heaven because if they are there, they would see God and John 1:18 states no one has seen God. John 6:46 seems to agree with this statement and so does 1 Timothy 6:16 and 1 John 4:12. So you conclusion has to be correct or is it? What about John 12:45? Does that mean lots of people of seen God? What about Exodus 33:20-23? In my uneducated opinion, it appears that all the statements are true; it just depends on how you define seen. If we use the Bible to define it, no one has seen the “face of God”. People of seen parts of God (Exodus 33:20-23) and people of seen God’s image through others (John12:45). So that does not preclude Enoch and Elijah from being in heaven, it just prevents them from seeing the face of God while they are there. Hopefully another one of the other fine members can explain this better and I haven’t confused you too much. Brad |

64 | where i the bible does it discuss dogs | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 232468 | ||
The would dogs is mentioned 23 times in the Bible, but not always referring to the animal. On the right side of the screen where the box is labeled Bible Text, you can type in the word dogs and it will bring up every Scripture that the word appears in. Brad |

65 | do dogd have a soul? | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 232466 | ||
Don't you know, all dogs go to heaven! Okay, maybe not, then again maybe so. The Bible doesn't say directly, but man is the only creature created in God's image. GotQuestions.org has an article on this topic. http://www.gotquestions.org/pets-heaven.html Brad PS-I wasn't making fun of your question, been a long day at work and I'm tired. I do entertain the thought of someday seeing my long lost companions, but I know regardless if they are there or not, heaven will be a wonderful place beyond anything we can imagine. |

66 | why is satan capitalizes in the bible | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 232407 | ||
It isn't a Bible question, but a question of proper English. In the English language, proper names (Satan) are supposed to be capitalized. Brad |

69 | down syndrome | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 232248 | ||
Just because a person has Down syndrome, doesn't mean the individual is saved. Just because the person has Down syndrome, doesn't mean that the individual can't understand the concept of God's grace and mercy. On the contrary, I have met a few who suffer from Down syndrome and they had a better understanding of God's love than I did (Matthew 19:14). We forget that we don't have to come up to God's level to meet Him, He came down to our level to meet us. (John 3:16) Brad |

70 | All nations must firsthear the gospel? | Matt 24:14 | BMyers | 232238 | ||
And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14 ESV) Brad |

71 | what does inner room mean | Matt 6:6 | BMyers | 232236 | ||
Just what it states, a room on the inside (inner room). If you read the passage 5-8, the manner an attitude in which you pray is being dealt with. Some prayed for public recognition, but verse 6 explains that we shouldn't do for this, but instead get away with just you and God. Does this mean all public prayer is wrong? No, but the heart behind the prayer determines the validate of it. Brad |

72 | Question on Hymn of Invitation tradition | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 232117 | ||
If I understand your question correctly, you have more than one issue. The first is you don't like the use of 'invite' or 'invitation' to describe the act of accepting Christ's salvation by grace. The second issue is the ceremony that the church uses. Acts 4:12 explains that there is only one name we can be saved under. So how do we become ‘saved’? Ephesians 2:1-9 explains we have very little to do in our own salvation, it is totally up to God’s saving grace. Romans 10:9 explains how we accept God’s gift of salvation. We do two things, confess and believe. Does the church ceremony save some one? No, but it does provide a means for the message of salvation to be communicated to an individual. So does the ceremony have value? Only in the aspect it is a means of delivering the message of the Good News. Is the word ‘invite’ the best word? I looked up the definition of 'invite' which is to request the presence or participation of; formal request. In my mind, using the word 'invite' doesn't cross any Scriptural boundaries. Are there better words, it truly depends on your audience. If you start talking to someone about justification or sanctification that has just walked in off the street, you may quickly lose them using ‘biblical’ terms on concepts that are foreign to them. Does that mean we dummy down everything? Only to a point of having the time to bring the new believe up and only as far as not compromising the Gospel. When you start teaching your child to read, you don’t hand him a copy of War and Peace, but you start out with See Spot Run. As you teach and train the child you introduce the deeper concepts based on the simple basic principles. As our culture has become more Scripturally illiterate, some of the concepts have to be simplified until we can educate them (Sunday School, small groups, etc.). Do we have to be careful with the terms we use? Yes! Do we have to be careful about placing to much value on a ‘ceremony’ or particular action? Yes! As a church, if all we ever do is offer a Sunday ‘invitation’ to accept Christ and then send the new believer out the door, we are greatly failing in our charge. Matthew 28:19 Brad |

73 | In Daniel 3:25... | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 231987 | ||
Doing some quick research, in Revelation, the term translated 'angel' in the KJV has a literal meaning of one eagle. In Daniel, looking quickly, modern translations all have 'son of gods' or footnote making that a possible translation. Reading the phrase in context, in my mind since King Nebuchadnezzar was the one speaking and my understanding is that their beliefs involved mutliple gods, why would he refer to the Son of God, when in his mind it would of been one of the sons of gods? Does that make since? Typing quickly at work, so hopefully someone can give you more detail answer. Brad |

76 | how to handle the situation? | Proverbs | BMyers | 231937 | ||
Proverbs 13:24 comes to mind: Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him. Actually the Bible as a whole not just one part. The Bible deals with God dealing with His children, some rebellious, some not. I feel blessed by my little girl so far has not given us any major issues. Yet, she is only twelve, but my wife and I pray over her daily and know that we have to trust in the Lord and do the best we can humanly do to raise her in a Christian home. I'm not perfect and I make mistakes daily, so I can't expect perfection from my daughter, but I can love her unconditionally and just as God disciplines us when we go wrong, we have to discipline our children. 2 Samuel 11 and 12 gives an example of a child of God doing wrong, facing rebuke, and bearing the consequence of the action even after asking forgiveness.

77 | We will walk together in Christian Love | Colossians | BMyers | 231935 | ||
I can't think of a verse that says that phrase, but the concept is in the Bible and the passage is in Colossians 3:12-17 that comes to mind for me. Brad |

79 | founding a business on Christ | Col 3:17 | BMyers | 231812 | ||
I'm not sure what you are asking, but the Bible states we should do everything for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (ESV) Brad |

80 | rapture of the church: true or false | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 231634 | ||
Since I don't know what his belief is, it is hard to say if it is Biblical based or not. When it comes to the rapture, there are three main views: Pretribulation, midtribulation, and posttribulation. If memory serves me correctly there are also a couple of variants of these. Each one of these viewpoints use Scripture to try to support their view point. I know good Christian men and women that believe in each of these categories. Which one is right? Research, compare the research to the Bible, and pray for wisdom from the Holy Spirit to help you discern the right answer. Brad |
