83 | cremation according to the bible? | Bible general Archive 4 | biblicalman | 228973 | ||
Hi floyd, welcome to the forum. The Bible says nothing about cremation, and in Old Testament days many bodies were burned with fire during the destruction of cities. It will not affect their resurrection. But burial was always looked on as the method disposing of dead bodies. It could therefore be argued that this is testimony to the resurrection. In the end it is open to individual choice. Best wishes. |

84 | Where did Lamech's wives originate? | Gen 5:4 | biblicalman | 228971 | ||
Hi learetha, welcome to the forum. Cain married his sister,as did Seth. They then had children, who also had children, so that by the time of Lamech generations later, there would be a wide range of women from whom to choose. Best wishes |

85 | Can a marraige be saved after adultry? | Bible general Archive 4 | biblicalman | 228969 | ||
Ho Kimommy, welcome to the forum. I agree with Ed that you should seek out some spiritual person whom you can trust that you can discuss this with. Are you sure that you are not reading your feeling of guilt into your husband's behaviour? If he was only speaking to another woman that is not necessarily something to get suspicious about. Are you sure that your suspicions are well grounded? Your very feeling of guilt might be bringing strains into your marriage. If your husband specifically forgave you then he should stand by his commitment. It would seem to me that having made the decision not to see your adultery as a grounds for divorce God would see him as bound by that decision. For God forgives us as we forgive. And once He has forgiven He does not change His mind. I am presuming that you are both committed Christians? Presumably you have not discussed this with your husband? Perhaps that is something that you ought to do. At least you would then know where you stood. And he may well be shocked that you still doubt him. May God help you to be wise.. |

86 | Other Names for Jesus | Bible general Archive 4 | biblicalman | 228951 | ||
hi Aileen Jesus has so many names because He is so great and complex that one name is not sufficient to describe Him. Jesus means 'Yah is salvation'; Immanu-el means 'God is with us'; Christ means God's anointed One; LORD means that He is YHWH (Phil 2.9-11), and Lord over our lives; Son of Man links Him wtih Daniel's prophecy in 7.13-14, and also bring out that He is truly human; Son of God means that He is of the same nature as the Father, and so we could go on. Best wishes. |

87 | Why should I believe Jesus lived? | Heb 11:6 | biblicalman | 228946 | ||
Hi Christinme, The first reason why you can know that Jesus lived is because in 1st century AD a unique moral teaching unlike any ever known before suddenly burst on the world, and by commen consent came from the lips of a man named Jesus. It was teaching that subsequently changed the world, and it unquestionably required a 1st century source. The second reason why you can know that Jesus lived is that four men of different types each wrote a life story of a perfect man whose name was Jesus. Have you ever considered how difficult it is to invent a perfect man whose perfection is recognised by all? If we tried we would soon introduce our own little idiosyncracies. Yet four men achieved it and the only reason they did so was because their stories were all based on the life of Jesus. Had Jesus not lived as the prototype they would never have achieved it. The third reason why we can know that Jesus lived is because a whole new outlook on life and on spiritual things was introduced by Him, far superior to anything previously known. Its source was Palestine and everyone attributed it to a man called Jesus. We could go on, but put these three things together and they are proof positive that Jesus must have lived. How do we know that he was more than a good man? By considering the claims He made about Himself. He was either the most deluded man in history or He was God's only Son, and no deluded man could have taught as Jesus taught. Best wishes |

88 | Matt Chap 6 - Repeating yor prayers | Matthew | biblicalman | 228944 | ||
Hi Aileen, This means that we do not need to concentrate our prayers on every day needs but can leave those with our Father in Heaven. Instead what we should be praying about is the extension of the Kingly Rule of Heaven. 'Seek first His Kingly Rule and His righteousness, and all these thingss will be added to you.' Thus in the Lord's prayer we are to pray first of all for God's holy Name to be hallowed among men, for God's Kingly Rule to be established amongst men, and for His will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven. These are to be our first concern. Once we have prayed for those we can ask God to meet our minimum needs, (our daily bread), to forgive us for our continual sins, to enable us to avoid temptation, and to deliver us from the Evil One. You will note that these latter are mainly concerned with our spiritual welfare. It is a reminder that we are to look, not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen (2 Corinthians 4.18). We may certainly pray in a similar way daily, but we must ensure that it does not become routine. Best wishes |

89 | Can I insulate me against negative clima | Hebrews | biblicalman | 228942 | ||
Hi Linni, Welcome to the forum. The way to insulate yourself against a negative climate is by faith in the living God and in our Lord Jesus Christ. If you read Hebrews 11 you wll read of those who insulated themselves against the most negative of climates. No climate can touch us if we are hid with Christ in God (Colossians 3.1-3). You must keep your eyes on Him, lookng off to Jesus and running the race that is set before you, and you can be sure that He will be there running with you. Indeed He will be in you (John 14.17). If God be for us, who can be against us? He Who spared not His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him freely give us all things? (Rom 8.37). Best wishes |

90 | At what point will I go to Heaven? | Phil 1:23 | biblicalman | 228940 | ||
Hi Janie, Welcome to the forum. There are a number of verses which confirm that when we die we will be consciously in the presence of the Lord Himself. In 2 Corinthians 5.6-9 we read, 'we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith not by sight.' This does not, of course, mean that Christ is not with us now (compare Matthw 28.19-20). The point is rather that we know that he is with us, by faith, although we cannot actually see Him. He 'dwells in our hearts by faith' (Ephesians 3.17). Paul then adds, 'we would rather be away from the body but present with the Lord.' Because this is the opposite statement to that above it clearly means that then we will see Him. And the fact that this refers to a time prior to the rapture and resurrection is brought out by the fact tha it is while we are 'away from the body'. And note verse 9. 'So whether we are at home or away we make it our aim to please Him'. We will continue to seek to please Him after death. But at this stage we will not be wholly complete. To be with Him will be 'gain' (Phil 1.21), but our bodies will not have risen, which is why the bodily resurrection is necessary. That moment is the moment of the final defeat of death. |

91 | Matt Ch 9: Making Dead Girl Arise | Matthew | biblicalman | 228922 | ||
Hi Jesus often used the term 'sleep' to indicate death (see John 11.11-14). He did not want the crowds to know that He was going to raise the dead. But the three disciples who went in with Him and the girl's father and mother knew that she was dead (Matt 9.18; Mark 5.35). We know of 3 cases where Jesus raised the dead, Jairus daughter,the widow of Nain's son (Luke 7) and Lazarus (John 11). Best wishes |

92 | Matt Ch 9: Why not tell of Healing? | Matthew | biblicalman | 228920 | ||
hi When He was in Judea and Galilee Jesus told people that He healed to say nothing. This was because the Jews were expecting a warlike Messiah and He did not want the crowds to get stirred up by what He did. But when He was in Gentile territory like Decapolis there was no danger of an uprising. There He wanted to prepare for the future spread of the Gospel. |

93 | How Do I know God is speaking to me? | Gal 6:2 | biblicalman | 228914 | ||
hi keelz welcome to the forum. Firstly you must ask your self how sure you are of the facts. What are you basing your judgments on? Secondly you must examine your own motives. Why are you wanting to do this? Is it out of genuine Christian love and a desire to do what Christ would do, or have you an ulterior motive (such as jealousy, or wanting him for yourself)? If it is for Christlike reasons then there is a good chance that God would approve of your seeking to do something. But what? Have you and your friend joint friends? Perhaps you could discuss it with them and see if they agree with you. in these cases two are usually better than one. As Christians we are certainly required to bear one another's burdens. But we must make sure that it is for the right reason. You do not say how you would stand up to the woman. It must be done, at least initially in soft words and in a spirit of love and compassion. Anger and violence rarely works and is not Christlike. You should also remember that it is unwise to interfere between two partners unless it is absolutely necessary. So settle your motives before God in prayer. Then you wil be better able to do something. Best wishes |

95 | What was Christs successful office | Hebrews | biblicalman | 228908 | ||
Hi Shella welcome to the forum. The office you may have in mind is His office as High Priest. This is outlined throughout Hebrews (2.17; 4.14-15; 5.1-10; 6.20 etc) , and is often seen as in mind in John 17. But His offices, which are many include that of Saviour (e.g. 1 peter 1:1); , Mediator (1 tim 2.5); Lord (often); Creator (col 1.16; heb 1.1-3); Sustainer of the universe (col 1.17); Trek Leader (heb 2.10-11); and so on. Best wishes |

97 | Why did God kill Uzzah | 2 Samuel | biblicalman | 228903 | ||
Hi ASC welcome to the forum There are times in history when God is revealing Himself in special ways. This was one of them. The Ark of God was held as especially sacred. It denoted the place where God came down and met with His people. Normally it would be hidden behind a veil. But because it was being transported it had been placed on a cart which had been made for the purpose. Special preparations had been made. It had been placed on the Ark by those appointed by God who themselves would not have touched it. It had to be carried on poles. All knew that no one must touch it. To do so would be to defile it. As the cart moved forward crowds danced around. Many more were watching. Uzzah had been given a grave responsibilty, to bear the Ark undeflied to Jerusalem. The oxen stumbled. But there is no indication that the Ark was in any danger. For Uzzah to reach out and touch it was an act of gross blasphemy. It revealed a heart that had no regard for the holiness of God. He was treating God with familiarity, and demonstrating that he had no confidens that God could look after Himself. He was treating Him like a lifeless idol. Had nothing happened the whole crowd would have lost their awe at the presence of God. Uzza revealed that He was not sufficiently in awe of God, and his act was an act of gross disobedience. But his being struck down does not necessarily mean that he did not find mercy, only that he had by his action forfeited his life. From then on none could doubt the sacredness of the Ark. In the end we must recognise 'how unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out' Best wishes |

98 | wantin to get saved | Rom 10:9 | biblicalman | 228901 | ||
Hi Brandy, Welcome to the forum. The first step is to to recognise that you are coming to a Saviour Who is personal and real. It is He Who does the saving. You are seeking a personal experience with Him. Next you must acknowledge your sinfulness before Him 'If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves, but if we openly admit our sins, He is faithful and will justly forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1.8). Admitting our sins involves repentance (a changing of the mind) towards them. Our aim must be to turn from sin, to repudiate sin and to put it behind us (Acts 2.38). Then you must recognise that Jesus Christ has paid the penalty for your sins. 'Who His own self bore our sins in His own body on the cross' (1 Peter 2.24). 'Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous One for the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God' (1 Peter 3.18). Then you must ask Him to forgive your sins, thank Him for dying on the cross for you and bearing the punishment for your sins, and ask Him to come into your life as your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10.9). Then you must believe in your heart that He has fulfilled His promise, 'Behold I stand at the door and knock, if any man or woman hears my voice and opens the door I WILL come into him/her and will sup with him and he with me' (Revelation 3.20). If you really want to be saved and made into a new person (2 Corinthians 5.17) He will do it for you in that moment. Your prayer might be something like this (but it must be genuine): Lord Jesus Christ, I admit that I am a sinner. I want to turn from sin and follow you. I now turn my back on sin and ask you to forgive me for my many sins, and to cleanse me through and through. Thank you for dying in my place. Please come into my life and be my Saviour and Lord. Thank you Lord. Amen. May God help you to take this step honestly and truly. God bless you. |

99 | GOD/ SATAN TEETH | Revelation | biblicalman | 228898 | ||
Hi Sharan, welcome to the forum. I suspect that the TV Pastor was expressing himself vividly in order to get over his point. He was probably indicating that the Lord had made Satan relatively harmless. Scripture says the same thing when it says that The strong man has been bound by the Stronger than He (Luke 11.22). Satan is in fact a spirit being and therefore has no teeth. Best wishes |

100 | Bible say about disciplining your wife? | Eph 5:25 | biblicalman | 228889 | ||
hi welcome to the forum The Bible says that a man should love his wife even as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her. She is to be cherished and watched over (eph 5.25). Husbands love your wives and do not be harsh towards them (col 3.19) Marriage is a partnership and partners do not talk about diciplining each other but about helping each other. Each should be making a contribution to the whole. Best wishes. |
