81 | Matthew 16:28 | Matt 16:28 | Shelly | 86491 | ||
NIV Study Bible notes says: Because all the disciples died 'before' Christ's return, many believe that Jesus' words were fulfilled at the transfiguration when Peter, James, and John saw his glory (17:1-3). Others say this statement refers to Pentecost (Acts 2) and the beginning of Christ's church. In either case, certain disciples were eyewitnesses to the power and glory of Christ's kingdom. |

83 | the rock of salvation | Ps 18:2 | Shelly | 85482 | ||
Psalm 18:2-3 God's protection of his people is limitless and can take many forms. David characterized God's care with five military symbols. God is like (1) a 'rock' that can't be moved by any who would harm us, (2) a 'fortress' or place of safety where the enemy can't follow, (3) a 'shield' that comes between us and harm, (4) a 'horn' of salvation, a symbol of might and power, (5) a 'stronghold' high above our enemies. If you need protection, look to God. |

85 | BREAK DOWN THE SCRIPTURE ON MARK 10:37 | Mark 10:37 | Shelly | 84646 | ||
NIV Study Bible notes says: Mk 10:37 The disciples, like most Jews of that day, had the wrong idea of the Messiah's kingdom as predicted by the Old Testament prophets. They thought Jesus would establish an earthly kingdom that would free Israel from Rome's oppression, and James and John wanted honored places in it. But Jesus' kingdom is not of this world; it is not centered in palaces and thrones, but in the hearts and lives of his followers. The disciples did not understand this until after Jesus' resurrection. |

86 | this is from John 6:55-56 | 1 Corinthians | Shelly | 84421 | ||
Jesus was not talking about literal blood, of course. He was saying that his life had to become their own, but they could not accept this concept. The apostle Paul later used the body and blood imagery in talking about communion (see 1 Cor. 11:23-26). 1 Cor. 11:23-26 [23] For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, [24] and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." [25] In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." [26] For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. |

93 | Should we give one tenth of our income? | Luke 11:42 | Shelly | 79128 | ||
Yes - a tenth is the minimum! NIV Study Bible Notes: Luke 11:42 It is easy to rationalize not helping others because we have already given to the church, but a person who follows Jesus should share with needy neighbors. While tithing is important to the life of the church, our compassion must not stop there. Where we can help, we should help. Luke 11:42-52 Jesus criticized the Pharisees and the experts in the law harshly because they (1) washed their outsides but not their insides, (2) remembered to give a tenth of even their garden herbs, but neglected justice, (3) loved praise and attention, (4) loaded people down with burdensome religious demands, (5) would not accept the truth about Jesus, and (6) prevented others from believing the truth as well. They went wrong by focusing on outward appearances and ignoring the inner condition of their hearts. We do the same when our service comes from a desire to be seen rather than from a pure heart and out of a love for others. People may sometimes be fooled, but God isn't. Don't be a Christian on the outside only. Bring your inner life under God's control, and your outer life will naturally reflect him. |

||||||
98 | What does Psalm 23:5 mean? | Ps 23:5 | Shelly | 76972 | ||
NIV Study Bible notes says: Ps 23:5, 6 In ancient Near Eastern culture, at a banquet it was customary to anoint a person with fragrant oil as a lotion. Hosts were also expected to protect their guests at all costs. God offers the protection of a host even when enemies surround us. In the final scene of this psalm, we see that believers will dwell with God. God, the perfect shepherd and host, promises to guide and protect us through life to bring us into his house forever. |

99 | Does God have rules on sex in marriage? | 1 Cor 6:9 | Shelly | 74843 | ||
My husband and I have been married for 21 years, and as fas as we're concerned, God designed that part of the body for a totally different purpose. I don't think you will actually find the answer written in the Bible, and likewise, the Bible doesn't tell you everything about life, eg. what will happen if you stick your finger in a power point, or what will happen if you lie down under a moving elephant. A lot of things in life need a 'commonsense' approach, or even better, a bit of thought beforehand. Most actions in life have consequences in life, some good, some bad. Also, as a general rule, if something is right, you'll know in your heart it's right. If you have doubts about something, it's usually wrong, so I wouldn't do it. |

100 | Isaiah 7:14 - Virgin | Matt 1:23 | Shelly | 74735 | ||
NIV Bible Study Notes say: Isa 7:14-16 'Virgin' is translated from a Hebrew word used for an unmarried woman old enough to be married, one who is sexually mature (see Genesis 24:43; Exodus 2:8; Psalm 68:25; Proverbs 30:19; Song of Songs 1:3; 6:8). Some have compared this young woman to Isaiah's young wife and newborn son (8:1-4). This is not likely because she had a child, Shear-Jashub, and her second child was not named Immanuel. Some believe that Isaiah's first wife may have died, and so this is his second wife. It is more likely that this prophecy had a double fulfillment. (1) A young woman from the house of Ahaz who was not married would marry and have a son. Before three years passed (one year for pregnancy and two for the child to be old enough to talk), the two invading kings would be destroyed. (2) Matthew 1:23 quotes Isaiah 7:14 to show a further fulfillment of this prophecy in that a virgin named Mary conceived and bore a son, Immanuel, the Christ. |
