81 | 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? | ||||||
82 | Isn't Paradise the Heaven? | John 20:17 | 00123 | 241474 | ||
In Luke 23:43 Jesus tells a thief on the cross that they would be in Paradise on that day. But in this verse Jesus says he has not ascended to Father yet. Then, isn't Paradise the Heaven? Where was Jesus between the death and the resurrection? | ||||||
83 | Isn't Paradise the Heaven? | John 20:17 | 00123 | 241476 | ||
An excellent answer to my question! Thanks. God bless! | ||||||
84 | Jesus went to God immediately? | John 20:17 | 00123 | 241480 | ||
Your second sentence has no biblical ground but sounds like your own wishes. Speak by the Word plz. Anyhow, are you saying that Jesus went to God Father immediately upon His death? | ||||||
85 | Jesus went to God immediately? | John 20:17 | 00123 | 241485 | ||
Hi, Doc, to be honest with you, EdB's comment makes sense, but not yours. Paradise Jesus mentioned is not the same as the Catholic or Jewish Purgatory. Two additional questions following your response, then: (1) If Jesus ascended to God Father's hands in the Heaven upon death on the cross, was the place Paradise? (2) If Jesus went up to God Father, did He (probably, His soul) come down to join His body to be resurrected ? If so, why did He say "I have not yet ascended to the Father" (John 20:17)? Clarify please. | ||||||

Does 1 Peter 3:19 contradict your view? If not, why not? | ||||||
87 | 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! | ||||||
88 | Why were the Hellenistic widows ignored? | Acts 6:1 | 00123 | 232493 | ||
Why were the Hellenistic widows ignored? Was that a language barrier or a minority discrimination? | ||||||
89 | Why not having a WEEKLY communion? | Acts 20:7 | 00123 | 232800 | ||
"On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread." The early church had a communion every Lord's Day (once a week). The communion was both the Lord's Supper and common regular meals. Why does the modern church not follow the tradition? Why do we just meet and worship and leave, not eating together, on the Lord's Day? By not eating together (we do ceremonial communions a few times a year or not more than once a month, which are not food at all to quench the hunger), our Christian fellowship seems to be weakened: we do not know one another and. |

90 | Who was Christ in 1 Cor 1:12? | 1 Cor 1:12 | 00123 | 232572 | ||
Who was Christ in the verse: our Lord Jesus Christ or some church leader named so? | ||||||
91 | Who was Christ in 1 Cor 1:12? | 1 Cor 1:12 | 00123 | 232579 | ||
Ed, Well said. Thank you very much. | ||||||
92 | What liquid was in the communion cup? | 1 Cor 11:25 | 00123 | 232983 | ||
I wonder what the early church drank in the communion. I always thought they drank wine, but when I read the Bible, surprisingly, I couldn't see any one verse supporting it. In fact, there was no mention on what liquid was in the cup. So, my question is what they drank in the cup: red wine (alcohol), grape juice (like today in most churches), water, or what? By the way, I couldn't find a verse that Jesus our Lord actually did drink wine. | ||||||
93 | Did Jesus and early church drink wine? | 1 Cor 11:25 | 00123 | 232988 | ||
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When either a man or a woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to the LORD, he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall drink no vinegar made from wine or strong drink and shall not drink any juice of grapes or eat grapes, fresh or dried. All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, not even the seeds or the skins. (Numbers 6:1-4 ESV) Nazirites didn't drink wine at all, which is an example there were people who never drank alcohol in their life. Then, what is the biblical (not customs) basis that we should assume that Jesus, who came on earth with a mission of more importance than that of Nazirite, drank wine and that early church believers drank wine in the communion, when no Bible verse specifically indicated so? |

Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples), he left Judea and departed again for Galilee. (John 4:1-3 ESV) Like above, the Pharisees and non-believers believed in and acted on rumors, not solid facts. Likewise, people's accusation on Jesus (Matt 11:19 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard') was wrong. I just wanted to know Bible-based facts, neither the Israeli customs of the first century nor anyone's speculations. |

Don't lose yourself. This is a Bible forum where we are supposed to speak strictly from the Bible, not from guesswork or common sense. As I said before, I found no verse directly saying that Jesus drank wine or that the sacraments used wine in the early church. Did you? | ||||||
96 | What liquid was in the communion cup? | 1 Cor 11:25 | 00123 | 233011 | ||
"Beyond this Scripture does not speak, therefore I must not" is very good. I like and accept it. Then, how come can you believe Matthew 26:29 (cf Luke 22:18) means that Christ drank wine? The verses simply mention "drink of the fruit of the vine." Is it sure that to drink of the fruit of the vine is to drink wine? | ||||||
97 | What liquid was in the communion cup? | 1 Cor 11:25 | 00123 | 233013 | ||
On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined. (Isaiah 25:6 ESV) When we see the verse above, do we have to expect drinking wine (aged wine, which I guess truly alcoholic wine) with the Lord at the feast, for example, for the marriage of the Lamb? If so, as I don't drink at all, I guess I might be drunken very very badly by the aged wine, and I wonder if that is acceptable. |

Beja, Sorry, but I didn't respond to your post 232996. So, I don't know what made you say so. You wrote, "Wouldn't it be safe to say that your mind is quite resolved on this issue?" My answer is respectfully no because although I wanted to hear answers from the scripture brothers and sisters answered from church traditions, common sense, guesswork, or customs of the time. I personally don't drink, but I never pressed you or anyone else also should not drink. I just wanted to know what the Bible teaches. My original question was whether the early church used wine for the communion because to my surprise I didn't find a Bible verse supporting it. Regarding the communion, the Bible mentions "drink the cup of the Lord," but what was the substance in the cup was not explicitly indicated. If that was wine, was it fermented or unfermented? You may say the Bible is silent about it. Then, suddenly, Isaiah 25:6 says the Lord will make a feast of well-aged wine. So, I guess that verse (any similar) might be a big blow to discussion on wine or juice as we will drink alcoholic wine with the Lord. What do you think based on the Scripture? | ||||||

I agree. Let us try to talk about camels rather than gnats. | ||||||
100 | No word like juice at Jesus time? | 1 Cor 11:25 | 00123 | 233040 | ||
That's quite interesting: wine in "new wine" actually refers to grape juice. Is that because Israelites of Jesus time didn't have the word juice? Did they call everything made of grapes (fermented or not) wine? If so, wine was either alcohol or juice, right? | ||||||
