84 | No medical/spiritual need to circumcise? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 11761 | ||
Actually there can be medical reasons for circumcision if you want to acknowledge them. the procedure is said by some to promote better hygiene and prevent inflammation. Also circumcision has proven to reduce the risk of penile cancer. The uncircumsized male runs a much higher risk of this rare form of cancer than does the circumsised man. It is also done to preserve a man's body image that is consistant with his peers since circumcision is such a common practice in the United States. On the other hand there are surgical risks in the circumcision as with any other surgery. In addition an uncircumsised male is believed to experience much greater physical pleasure during sexual intercourse. An RN | ||||||
85 | where is paradise? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 13795 | ||
Paradise is heaven. Harper's Bible Dictionary defines it as a location or status of uninterrupted bliss. The word paradise is of Persian origin and denotes a park or forest. Since the Bible lands were often barren, it is not surprising that such and image would be meaningful. Paul speaks of Paradise in connection with his vision of the "third heaven" (2Cor 12:1-4). In Luke 23:42-43 when the thief asks Jesus to remember him when Jesus came in His kingship, Jesus replied that that day he would be with Him in paradise. I don't believe that one can be in a state of total bliss while on this earth. We are continuously going through trials and temptations to help us mature in Christ. Please explain what you mean when you say he's experiencing things where he's been before. Does he think he was reincarnated? |

87 | what are latter days and In-Times? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 18589 | ||
The latter days are the same as the end times. It is the period just before Christ returns to claim his people and Armegeddon - which ever comes first based on your belief of whether the rapture is pre-trib, trib, or post-trib. (I am assuming you mean End-times instead of IN-times). prayon | ||||||

89 | What are introversion and alternation? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 19190 | ||
Introversion: The direction or concentration of one's interest upon oneself. Alternation: Occurence or action of two things or a series of things in turn; passage from one place state, or condition to another and back again: alternation between day and night. From these definitions from Funk and Wagnell's dictionary I would assess that the bible is the only book written with the writer relating history while turning all of the attention to himself. prayon |

92 | What is a good bible version for study? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 20337 | ||
Dear Myra, I agree with Sir Pent that it is best to go to the site he recommended and pick the version that is easiest for you to understand. I do strongly recommend that when you have chosen the version you like to get it in the "Life Application Version". The Application Bible has a lot of explanation of verses as well as how to apply them to your life today. It also has profile's on different bible persons, an explanation of each book in general, many charts, diagrams and maps, and cross references, as well as a small concordance in the back. I am sure that you will find it quite easy to learn from. prayon |

93 | Who were the witnesses? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 20605 | ||
Greetings pgs, It is believed that these men are Moses and Elijah. Malachi 4:4-6 states "Remember the teaching of my servant Moses" and "Lo, I will send you the prophet Elijah before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes". Matt. 17:3 says that is was also Moses and Elijah that appeared at the transfiguration with Jesus. It is interesting to note that both of these men experienced an unusual departure from this earth. No man ever witnessed Moses death or knows where his body was laid nor is there any record of Elijah's death. Elisha only saw him disappear. prayon | ||||||

96 | Why do people lose interest and leave? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 21232 | ||
Sir Pent, I have been here since near the beginning. I have stayed although there have been times when I have been fed up and wanted to leave. I have stayed, though, for a few reasons. One is because of the friends I have met here. The main reason though is because I believe that the forum has the ability to reach baby Christians or those knocking on Christs door who truly want to know what the bible says/means. There is such a tremendous opportunity here to witness to those who want to know and are questioning what the Lord expects of them. I do get frustrated and upset at some of the things that appear on the forum sometimes, but just as I told Hank many times we can expect problems - if we didn't have any then we would know that Satan was not worried about what is happening on the forum. When we get upset we need to take some deep breaths - maybe a day or two - and then get right back with it because through this forum the word of God is being spread and peoples lives are changing. prayon | ||||||
97 | On Harry Potter? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 21347 | ||
PART ONE: Throughout history Satan has consistently enticed mankind into his dark, supernatural realm. Although sometimes subtly occultism such as witchcraft is undoubtedly infiltrating and often capturing the masses today. The occult is actually the very crux of the rebellion that the vast majority of today's entertainment world is peddling today. We recognize that the enemy love's to sidetrack not only us but the church in general. He often uses well meaning people to accomplish this purpose. Our children find their entertainment inundated with the occult practices, extreme violence and heroes such as the fictional boy-wizard Harry Potter. M. K. Rowlings is the author of the Harry Potter series. She has signed a contract to write 7 books in he series and has warned us that each one will become progressively darker. She has also intimated that some of the scenes in the books were taken from real life experiences she has had. In books 2 and 3 were a disembodied voice repeatedly hissing "kill"; a monstrous, flesh eating spiders; children being attacked and paralyzed and an apparently dead cant hung upside down by its tail. (I wonder how many children have already tried to do that to cats?) In book 4 the evil character cuts up Harry's arm to extract blood in order to bring the most evil character back to life. (This is an occult practice done to supposedly pass mystic power from one person to another during some occult rituals). It is also interesting to note that Harry Potter has an odd birthmark on his forehead in the shape of a lightning bolt. The lightning bolt has long been a symbol of power in the occult and Satanism. You can now buy an assortment of items such as capes. magic hats, wands, and fake tattoos, each one designed to emulate Harry Potter. The items are called the starter kit for future witches and warlocks. In a Harry Potter birthday kit you can enroll your child in Hogwart Wizard School, battle a Basilisk (a legendary 14th century reptile with fatal breath and glance), practice Quidditch (a game invented for the series that utilizes levitation by another name, and take a class on magic potions! He's a charmer, that Harry Potter. He even has modern day witches enchanted too. A 39 year old computer programmer from Canada, who has been a practicing witch for more than 25 years, (that would of made him 14 when he started), stated " For once the witches aren't ugly old hags, for once they're the protagonists rather than the villians". Most people are unfortunetly ignorant of where the road really leads. Our casual acceptance of the philosophies all around us can short circuit nearly every part of our Christian walk and can certainly derail our ability to stave off spiritual attacks. We have become increasingly tolerant of witchcraft and other occult practices in our society. Show such as "Bewitched" and "Sabrina the teenage Witch" taught us to do more than just tolerate witchcraft. They promoted and encouraged it. Above all, it worked subtly on our senses teaching us to accept it as the norm. Just as a person who is poisoned a little bit at a time doesn't die after the first dose, in the end after enough "doses" our ability to recognize the evil began to shut down and we were doomed. By the time we realized what was really happening we had become too weak to climb out and soon became the delicacy on the Devil's dinner plate. By giving ungodly entertainment our time, mind, money, or emotion, even though we are not involved physically, is the same as if we were actually participating. In Romans 1:32 Paul states this: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but have pleasure in them that do them. The Full Life Study Bible explains it like this: "Being entertained by watching other people sin and engage in ungodly actions, even while you yourself abstain, brings you under the same divine condemnation as those engaging in such evil practices...Those who use the immoral actions of others for entertainment and enjoyment are directly contributing to public opinion favorable to immorality and therefore to the corruption and eternal damnation of an indefinite number of other people." It is also spiritually damaging to allow these influences a place in our lives and homes. Entire households are weakened and can lose their spiritual battles because of the actions, attitudes, and even physical possessions of one member (see 1 Sam 15). PLEASE SEE PART 2 |

98 | What about the Silent Prayer II | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 21806 | ||
I think that the reason we are in this situation is because we have not been praying at all. Proverbs 24:12 says that God can read our mind and knows our thoughts. I agree we usually ask for things verbally because other people can not read our mind - but our Father can. He knows our thoughts before we do. Some people can not stay focused in prayer, that would be a good reason for praying out loud but you don't have to pray out loud for your prayers to be heard. prayon | ||||||
99 | Islam believe christ except for what? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 26227 | ||
Greetings friendly stranger! The main defference between the Islam faith and Christian beliefs is that the Muslem does not beleve that Christ is the Messiah. The Koran lists 22 prophets of Allah. These include Adam, Noah, Moses, David, and Jesus. There are 5 doctrines of Islam that Moslems are required to believe. One is mentioned above. The other 4 are that there is only one true God and his name is Allah. 2) The chief angel is Gabriel who appeared to Mohammed in a dream in which Allah had called to him to be a prophet. 3)Moslems believe in 4 God-inspired books. The torah of Moses (what we call the Pentateuch), the Zabur (the Psalms of David), the Injil (Gospel) and the Koran. But the Koran is Allahs final word to mankind and supercedes and overrules all previous writings. And last they must believe on the last day that all the dead will be resurrected and Allah will judge whether each person should be sent to heaven (a place of sensual pleasure) or hell where those who oppose Allah will be. The Koran contradicts the bible in numerous ways. One is that the Koran denies that Jesus is the son of God. He is considered to be a prophet and ranked far below that of Mohammed. It also says that Christ never really died on the cross. According to Islam, Allah took Jesus to heaven before the crucifixion and that it was really Judas, made up to look like Jesus that was crucifified. The Surah 4:111 declares that man must take care of his own sins. The muslim must earn salvation from sin (failure to do Allah's will) by following the 5 Pillars of Faith statement of belief, prayers, Alms, Observance of Ramadan, and at one pilgrimage to Mecca (the holy city). Hope this helps. prayon | ||||||
