81 | Where was Abraham? | Luke 16:22 | 00123 | 225352 | ||
Angels carried Nasarus, the beggar, to Abraham. [Question 1] Where was Abraham when welcoming Nasarus? In the heaven or somewhere on the earth? What does the Bible say about this issue? [Question 2] Is this parable referring to the future when Jesus would come to the earth the second time? Or is it now, meaning a dead person immediately goes to either Abraham's bosom or the the hot place where the rich man went? | ||||||
82 | Moses appeared from where? | Matt 17:3 | 00123 | 225342 | ||
Moses and Elijah appeared. We can guess Elijah ca,e down from heaven as he ascended to heaven alive. My question is from where Moses appeared. Did he also come down from heaven? If so (or not), would you provide the Bible verses you used as the basis of your answer? Thank you. | ||||||
83 | Exactly what does "at hand" mean? | Matt 3:2 | 00123 | 225279 | ||

84 | About the Kingdom of God for 40 days | Acts 1:3 | 00123 | 224953 | ||
Two questions. (1) What are the things Jesus talked to disciples concerning the kingdom of God? (2) Jesus talked about them for forty days (a long period of time). But why doesn't the New Testament have the details? Thank you in advance. God bless! | ||||||
85 | Jesus' harsh words | Matt 12:34 | 00123 | 224705 | ||
Jesus is God of love. So, what does His behavior of this verse mean? (1) Jesus loved them in heart, but not in word, invoking them to repent. So, His harsh word was an expression of true love. (2) In fact, Jesus couldn't love them because they were evil. Only those who are evil do not get God's love. (3) Other (specify please) |

86 | Paradise vs. Heaven | John 20:17 | 00123 | 224639 | ||
A follow-up question for you. Where do our souls go just when we die? Don't we say we go to the heaven? If your argument is corerct, however, do we stay somewhere on the earth where the Paradise is? | ||||||
87 | Paradise vs. Heaven | John 20:17 | 00123 | 224633 | ||
Luke 23:43 And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” According to this verse, Jesus, after the cruxifiction, went to Paradise. My question is, If the Paradise is in the heaven, how can Jesus say “I have not yet ascended to the Father” (Jn 20:17)? Which one is He meaning in the verse? (1) He did in fact ascended to the Father in the Paradise between the death and the resurrection, but not permanently or officially yet. (2) The Paradise is not in the heaven. Not God but Abraham is living there (Luke 16). (3) Or something else? |

Thanks, Beja. I truly appreciate your time and effort to help me out. Your answer is an excellent and sufficient one to my question. I am highly satisfied with your answer (of course, any other person may want to add anything else, though, to further Beja's explanation). God bless, 00123. | ||||||
89 | The true Gospel Jesus proclaimed | Matt 4:23 | 00123 | 224557 | ||
Good afternoon, BradK, I agree we should keep the intended purpose of the SBF. So, sorry for bringing up non-Bible study issue. Okay, going back to the SBF purpose and refreshing my original question, I'd like to ask you and other fellow Christians this one question. "What was the gospel Jesus preached town to town?" I'd appreciate it if you answer cites or uses only the four Gospels, not Paulian or any other apostle's portion of the Scriptures. I just wanted to know what was the content of the gospel of the kingdom of heaven Jesus preached for Himself. In Love and Truth, 00123 |

90 | The true Gospel Jesus proclaimed | Matt 4:23 | 00123 | 224544 | ||
Good morning Ariel, okay, here are some of endless examples. Blessed are the poor in spirit (Are we poor in spirit?) Blessed are those who mourn (Do we morun for our sins and others' pains?) Blessed are the meek (Are we gentle?) Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (Are we do so?) Blessed are the merciful (Are we merciful?) Blessed are the pure in heart (Are we pure in heart?) Blessed are the peacemakers (Do we make peace?) Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake (Or do we avoit it?) If the church is a corporation, it has only planning but doesn't implement or monitor it to correct itself). Look at the people who come to the church. Most of them are abandoned by the church (of course they also have their own responsibilies) because the church gives a sermon but doesn't know or doesn't care what their real life is (how they reflect the faith on their daily life). Have you ever asked each person about what agony s/he has, what spritural help s/he needs, or what sins keeps him/her from living a holy life? Have you ever checked if s/he grows in faith and holiness? In Love and Truth, |

Matthew 7:26. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. John 12:47. If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. Romans 2:13. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. James 1:22. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. Dear BradK, I, as a conservative Presbyterian, am not challenging at all the doctrine of salvation that other brothers summarized well. My point is that the Scripture emphasizes on "keeping" God's Word (that is, living out every aspect of our life by God's Word) rather than "hearing" it. But the Protestant Church (but I am not saying non-Protestant churches are different) seemingly has no worry about, or does nothing about, whether those who attend it "keep" God's Word in their daily life. It is like teaching soldiers how to shoot the rifle but not checking if they can actually shoot well. In Love and Truth, 00123 |

Dear Doc, What I am saying is not the salvation is achived by our works. If you thought so, my poor communication is to blame. What I am saying is that the mordern Protestant church rests with its salvation-by-faith doctrine. But the faith will be valid only when it bears the fruit of Spirit. Unfortunately, my obervation is the church is busy in brainwashing people with the doctrine, but not encouraging and checking people if their faith is true. Read the Gospels; Jesus' doctrine is complex, but his teaching is heavy on real stuff, not mere confession of faith not supported by their life. Doc, read your own writing to me. Compare it what Jesus says. Your writing is more intelligent than Jesus' but less inspirational than Jesus'. In Love and Truth, 00123 |

93 | The true Gospel Jesus proclaimed | Matt 4:23 | 00123 | 224514 | ||
Dear Doc, Following your recommendation, I read your post. Two things. (1) The ordo salutis you cited from other authors mainly emphasizes God's work for our salvation. I totally concur with the view that God saves us not we. However, when I read the Gospels (the first four books of the NT), Jesus always urged us to "live out" a holy life, emphasizing on what behaviors and attitudes we must have. An example is Matt 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” Jesus commands us to do God’s will to enter the kingdom of heaven. (2) Due to too much emphasis on God’s act on our salvation, the Church teaches (not theologically but practically) like believers have nothing to do (so, it never sermons on what life we should live) and like believers are already forgiven no matter what corrupted life we live. Thanks. -00123 | ||||||

Dear fellow Christians, When we see the four books of Gospel, the good news of the Kingdom of Heaven (or Kingdom of God) Jesus Messiah proclaimed emphasizes not only believing in Jesus but “mainly” the obedience to God’s Word. The modern Protestant church is stuck to justification by faith but ignores sanctification not necessarily theoretically but practically. This tradition produces more nominal Christians, hindering growth in true religion. We hear but do not practice or obey God’s Word. Do you agree with me that the Gospel Jesus preached was to urge us to live a life obeying God’s Word rather than to merely accept Jesus as the Savior? |

95 | Actions to preach the kingdom of God | Luke 9:2 | 00123 | 224443 | ||
Inquisitor, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Imitating the Lord thru our life is very important for ourselves as well as for efefctive preaching. But that was not answering my question, which was what the disciples did in the villages to preach the kingdom of God. I am interetsed their actions in the villages. God bless. |

96 | Actions to preach the kingdom of God | Luke 9:2 | 00123 | 224432 | ||
Exactly what did Jesus mean by "preach the kingdom of God"? Let us imagine we are His disciples in Jesus' time. We were sent by Him and enter a village. Then, what were we suppose to do there? Can you list what actions to take to preach the kingdom of God? Tell me some details in the act of preaching. Thank you. | ||||||
97 | Money box of Jesus | John 12:6 | 00123 | 223295 | ||
How much was in the money box? Can you guess in current sense like in the dollars? I ask this question because someone argues that as shown in this verse he carried a money box Jesus was in fact financially very rich: he was not poor at all against our usual understanding. | ||||||
98 | Pastor giving a wrong info | Luke 6:37 | 00123 | 223225 | ||
A pastor keeps giving a wrong information in his sermon. For example, one day, he said Oprah Winfrey's success results from her Christian faith, so we should live like her. But Oprah is not a Christian but a new age activist who belives there are millions of ways to go to God or to Heaven, rejecting the Bible's teaching that Jesus Christ alone is the only Way to God. Am I "judging" the pastor when saying his idea on Oprah is incorrect? Should I just "forgive" him for whatever misinformation in the sermon? | ||||||

100 | A retrospection on Rev. Falwell | Deut 11:26 | 00123 | 190296 | ||
What do you think now of the opinions of Late Rev. Jerry Falwell said regarding the attack on the World Trade Centers? I personally agree with him, who lived his life as a great warrior for the Lord, but Christians' sin is not smaller as a cause of the 9.11 tragedy than the types of sinners he pinpointed, I think. However, I see no sign of reformation or repentance in the American Christianity while it is badly needed. Here is an excerpt from the Washington Post: Friday, September 14, 2001; Page C03 Television evangelists Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, two of the most prominent voices of the religious right, said liberal civil liberties groups, feminists, homosexuals and abortion rights supporters bear partial responsibility for Tuesday's terrorist attacks because their actions have turned God's anger against America. "God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve," said Falwell, appearing yesterday on the Christian Broadcasting Network's "700 Club," hosted by Robertson. "Jerry, that's my feeling," Robertson responded. "I think we've just seen the antechamber to terror. We haven't even begun to see what they can do to the major population." Falwell said the American Civil Liberties Union has "got to take a lot of blame for this," again winning Robertson's agreement: "Well, yes." Then Falwell broadened his blast to include the federal courts and others who he said were "throwing God out of the public square." He added: "The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped this happen.' " People for the American Way transcribed the broadcast and denounced the comments as running directly counter to President Bush's call for national unity. Ralph G. Neas, the liberal group's president, called the remarks "absolutely inappropriate and irresponsible." Robertson and others on the religious right gave critical backing to Bush last year when he was battling for the GOP presidential nomination. A White House official called the remarks "inappropriate" and added, "The president does not share those views." Falwell was unrepentant, saying in an interview that he was "making a theological statement, not a legal statement." "I put all the blame legally and morally on the actions of the terrorist," he said. But he said America's "secular and anti-Christian environment left us open to our Lord's [decision] not to protect. When a nation deserts God and expels God from the culture . . . the result is not good." Robertson was not available for comment, a spokeswoman said. But she released a statement echoing the remarks he made on his show. An ACLU spokeswoman said the group "will not dignify the Falwell-Robertson remarks with a comment." |
