Greetings and welcome to the forum! Miracles tend to draw public attention and Christ did not want the publicity the miracle would draw to hinder His ministry. However, that was exactly what happened according to Mark 1:45 (When the man left, he began to talk freely. He spread his story so widely that Jesus could no longer enter any city openly. Instead, he stayed in places where he could be alone. But people still kept coming to him from everywhere). prayon | ||||||

65 | money | Matt 6:24 | prayon | 166828 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum! You didn't say what aspect of money you wanted references to.. In reference to giving: Mal 3:10 "Bring one-tenth of your income into the storehouse so that there may be food in my house. Test me in this way," says the LORD of Armies. "See if I won't open the windows of heaven for you and flood you with blessings. 2Co 9:7 Each of you should give whatever you have decided. You shouldn't be sorry that you gave or feel forced to give, since God loves a cheerful giver. On relation to faith: Luk 16:10-11 Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with a lot. Whoever is dishonest with very little is dishonest with a lot. Therefore, if you can't be trusted with wealth that is often used dishonestly, who will trust you with wealth that is real? Phi 4:19 My God will richly fill your every need in a glorious way through Christ Jesus. Pro 11:28 Whoever trusts his riches will fall, but righteous people will flourish like a green leaf. Love of money: Heb 13:5 Don't love money. Be happy with what you have because God has said, "I will never abandon you or leave you." 1Ti 6:10 Certainly, the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Some people who have set their hearts on getting rich have wandered away from the Christian faith and have caused themselves a lot of grief. Ecc 5:10 Whoever loves money will never be satisfied with money. Whoever loves wealth will never be satisfied with more income. Even this is pointless. Psa 37:16 The little that the righteous person has is better than the wealth of many wicked people. Hope these help. prayon |

67 | does the holy spirit dwell in us daily? | John 14:16 | prayon | 166826 | ||
Greetings James Glenn and welcome to the forum! 1) According to John 14:16 Jesus said that He would give us a comforter and He would be with us forever. The Holy Spirit is that comforter. However, the Spirit is not with all men but only those who are believers according to John 14:17 ( The world cannot accept him, because it doesn't see or know him). 2) The Holy Spirit lives within us. We were not able to receive the Holy Spirit until Jesus sent Him to us at Pentecost. The Holy Spirit was with them in the OT but He lives in us now. 3) Adam was created in the image of God just as we are today. 4) First we must define what exactly a prophet is. According to Webster: PROPHET 1. One that foretells future events; a predicter; a foreteller. 2. In Scripture, a person illuminated, inspired or instructed by God to announce future events; as Moses, Elijah, David, Isaiah, ect. You are correct in saying that that is a false statement. The scripture reference is Acts 2:16-17: "In the last days, God says, I will pour my Spirit on everyone. Your sons and daughters will speak what God has revealed. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will pour my Spirit on my servants, on both men and women. They will speak what God has revealed." This scripture therefore clearly reveals that there will be prophets in the end times which is what we are in today. prayon |

68 | Christians with demon oppression | Bible general Archive 3 | prayon | 166538 | ||
Greetings Kanchi, After reading over the replies to your questions and I didn't see one of the main scriptures listed that I think your friend needs. From what you have said I believe that your friend is lacking the faith she needs to stand strong. Jesus tells us in Luke 10:19, "I have given you the authority to trample snakes and scorpions and to destroy the enemy's power. Nothing will hurt you." Mark 16: 17-18 also tells us "These are the miraculous signs that will accompany believers: They will use the power and authority of my name to force demons out of people. They will speak new languages. They will pick up snakes, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them. They will place their hands on the sick and cure them." Your friend must know beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is the child of a king and has authority over the demons that are trying to oppress her. She must speak in faith and then know that her word must be obeyed by the demons. She must know that she knows that she knows that she has the power that Jesus was speaking of. When the devil mocks her she must know that they will try anything to make her doubt but she MUST NOT DOUBT! Whe she has the faith that she has the power to cast out demons they will leave and the oppression will no longer be there. prayon |

70 | Differences in meaning of Romans 2:12 ? | Rom 2:12 | prayon | 165748 | ||
That is a difficult question because I am not here to judge whether someone can or is going to heaven. The people judged on their actions are the ones who have never heard the name of Jesus. As for the persons you are asking about - I believe first it would depend on their heart and whether they ever were told about Jesus and declined Him. Did they never read the bible because they never had access to one or never heard of one or did they not read it because they didn't want to. It is hard to believe that someone living now adays were never told about Jesus at sometime in their lives. Also did they know in their heart that the sexual sins they committed were wrong? If so they will be held accountable for them. I do know that if someone ever told them about Jesus and they refused Him in their lives then they can not enter the kingdom of heaven without repenting and turning their lives over to Him. Sorry I can't be of more help. prayon |

71 | Differences in meaning of Romans 2:12 ? | Rom 2:12 | prayon | 165745 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum! First let me say that for new Christians I like to recommend the God's Word translation. It is much easier to understand or at least to refer to when you are reading another version and don't understand what you are reading. As for Romas 2:12: John Gills Exposition on the Bible puts it this way " For as many as have sinned without law,.... This is an instance of the strict justice of God, and proves him to be no respecter of persons; for the Gentiles, who were "without law", the written law of Moses, not without the law of nature in their breasts, nor without some civil laws and statutes of their own; inasmuch as they "sinned" against the God of nature, and the law and light of nature". There are many people who have never heard the Word of Jesus and do not know His laws. They shall be judged on more or less their morals and how they conducted themselves. On the other hand those who have had access to the Word and God's laws will be held accountable for their greater knowledge. In other words we are not held accountable for God's laws that we do not know. We will be judged on our hearts. However, if we have heard the law we will be held in higher accountability. prayon |

72 | see to let you know the end is near ? | Matt 24:6 | prayon | 165742 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum! Shythiyl's answer was great but I want to add some more. The first prophecy of the end times came from Jesus Himself in Matt 24:1-2 when He said "There shall not be left here one stone upon the other that shall not be thrown down". This was fulfilled in 70AD when the armies of Titus surrounded Jerusalem and destroyed the temple. IN the Olivet discourse in Matt 24 and 25 Jesus gave many other prophesies of what was to come in the end times. Ezek 38 and 39 talk about how Russia would become a major power in the end times and how it would be involved in the end days. James5:1-5 says that in the final days riches would be accumulated by some but would not produce happiness but instead misery and heartache. There will also be conflict between labor and management. We will also witness and increase of pleasure seeking. Daniel 12:4 in addition to speaking of transportation talks about an increase of knowledge. It was estimated that between Noahs day and the year 1800 knowledge doubled once. Today knowledge doubles every 10 - 15 years. 1Tim 4:1-2 talks about the rise of the occult and that people shall depart fromt the faith and give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of the devil. These include fortune tellers, witches, palm and tea leaf readers, psychics, occultists, sorcerers, horoscopes and astrology. 2Tim 3:1-5 says that in the last days distressing times will come. For people will be lovers of themselves, blasphemers, lovers of money, boasters, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, and without natural affection. It also says many will hold to an outward form of godliness but denying it's power. Wickedness will also flourish. There will be sexual perversions, evil imaginations, and violence. In summarry these are the predicted signs of the end days - some of which Shythiyl has already mentioned: 1) Return of the Jews to the homeland and Isreal becomes a nation again. 2) The Jews recapture the Old City of Jerusalem (1967) 3) Rise of Russia as a powerful nation and enemy of Israel 4) The Arab confederation against the new state of Isreal 5) Rise of a military power in the Orient that can field and army of 200 million. 6) REvivla of old Roman Empire in the form of a 10 nation confederacy 7) Revival of the dark occult practices of ancient Babylon 8) Immense turn to drugs 9) increase of international revolution 10) increase of wars 11) increase of earthquakes 12) increase of famine (due to population explosion) 13) coming of plagues and diseases 14) increase of pollution 15) departure of many Christian Churches from the historic truths of Christiajnity 16) Move toward a one-world religion 17) move towards a one-world government 18) decline of the US as a major world power 19) increase in lawlessness 20) decline of the family unit Rev 7:1-3 talks of weather changes. Jesus Himself said there would be strange events in the sky. Warnings, eveil oments and portents in the sun, moon, and stars and down on earth nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. (luke 21:25-26). Some additional scriptures to look at are: Mark 13 Luke 17:17-37, 21:7-28 In 1Thess each chapter has a reference to te end times, 2Thess emphasizes it even more. Hope this helps. prayon |

75 | 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 |

76 | 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 |

77 | 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 |

78 | 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 | ||||||
79 | 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 | ||||||
80 | 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 |
