81 | how do i get control of my will? | Colossians | Rolff | 207727 | ||
Walk for Christ, Welcome to the forum! How do you stop your bad habits. Start by reading Romans 7, Paul had the same problem. The things I want to do, I do not. The things I don't want to do, I am doing. Then move on to Romans, Chapter 8 which gives us the victory. God made them male and female. Once God made a man, he did not declare things good, but made woman and then said, it was "very good." Scripture expects a man to have a wife and to express his God given sex drive inside marriage. We have three spiritual enemies. The world, the flesh and the devil. We are to be in the world but not of the world. If your car works well and gets you to work, why get a fancy new car? This is the world. The Devil influences us to be lazy, lie and kill (John 8:44) among other temptations. But for many men the problem is the flesh. Wine, women, song, smoking, and drinking/drugs, we are to consider ourselves dead to sin. Gal 2:20. I personally have found 1. cold showers, 2. exercise does wonders to change the mind and clean it up. 3. Read my Bible and 4. pray. Prayer and Bible reading don't work so well when I am in the middle of temptation, 5. do something else like walk/run until I am exhausted when tempted works the best for me. |

83 | time line for the rapture and after? | 1 Thess 4:13 | Rolff | 210493 | ||
Sue, Let me be the first to attempt an answer. First, the SBF has several rules and one is not to intentionally cause division. Your question by the nature of the question could be divisive as you attempt to understand the Bible. There are three views. The Pre-Tribulation theory. In a sentence this theory states that the Messiah will come before the tribulation. If so then the tribulation will be next in chronology. If you believe in the mid-Tribulation theory, then Christ will come in the middle of the tribulation and the last half of the trib will be next. If you are post-tribulation then the Millinium will be next. |

84 | who are the dead in christ | 1 Thess 4:16 | Rolff | 209064 | ||
The answer to your short question should go something like this. The Dead in Christ are Christians that have died. |

85 | Four Missionary Journeys? | 2 Tim 1:1 | Rolff | 206981 | ||
Paul had three missionary journeys as we normally think of a missionary. Acts 13:4f begins Missionary Journey 1. Acts 15:40f begins Missionary Journey 2. Acts 18:22f begins third missionary journey. These are documented as missionary journeys. But Paul in Acts 19:21, begins a transition, “Now after these things were finished, Paul purposed in the spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome." Eventually, he is arrested and Roman soldiers take him to Caesar in Rome. Some call this the fourth missionary journey, some indicate he only had three missionary journeys. Hope this settles the confusion. Tumbleweed, I would encourage you to look at the Bible classes at www.goldenstate.edu |

The answer to your question will only come by your own study of scripture. I personally, give very little credance (sp) to things not said in scripture. You will need to study this for yourself and make your own opinion on this topic. I stick with my answer, but you are welcome to disagree with me. |

87 | Is the ASV equal to the NASB? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Rolff | 216619 | ||
Is the ASV equal to the NASB? There are several ASV versions. There is the 1881 version several versions between and the 1901 version. We know much more in the later part of the 20th Century of geography, word studies as well as archeology. The NASB came out around 1970. I used this and the King James Version to translate the Greek text in seminary. Around 1995, a New, NASB arrived on the scene that had changes in the language, including removing the Old English, "Ye" and other obtuse language. I use this NASB-95 version as it is about as close to the Greek as one can translate from one language to another. To answer your question, I used the ASV-1901 before the NASB. Once the NASB, while quite wooden, it was a literal translation of the original languages. Once the NASB-1995, it is much easier to read, and remains very literal to the translated languages. |

88 | Reason Paul might not be Hebrews author? | Hebrews | Rolff | 207504 | ||
HEB 2:3 "how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard" This verse seems to indicate that it was a second generation Christian. Lord, first hearers, confirmed to us... HEB 13:23 "Take notice that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom, if he comes soon, I shall see you. HEB 13:24 Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you. HEB 13:25 ¶ Grace be with you all." Timothy was one of Paul's "own" and the wording is very similar to something Paul would write. We will find out in Heaven. |

Blessings to you as you continue to study the Bible. The only reference I know of in my Bible to "falling away" is in Hebrews 3:12 and the context indicates it is one that followed Christ and then did not follow Christ. | ||||||
90 | Heb6:4-6 Loosing salvation or what? | Heb 6:4 | Rolff | 207569 | ||
Hebrews 6:4-6, “For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 6:5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6:6 and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God, and put Him to open shame.” Welcome to the net and we welcome your question. This is one of the more difficult passages of the Bible. This passage never indicates the author of Hebrews is talking about one that was saved. This person has been enlightened and even tasted from the dinner table, but never really joined into the supper. There are people, like husbands of saved wives (or wives of husbands) that enjoy a saved spouse; they have been extremely close to the kingdom. They have heard prayer requests and watched them be answered. They have gone to church and come under conviction, but refused to repent. They may even attend church and act like Christians for a time but once they walk away they have condemned themselves. |

91 | How to convince someone to go to church | Heb 10:25 | Rolff | 207255 | ||
1. Churches are like cars. No one car fits every budget or taste. I prefer cheap imports that get good gas mileage over fancy and plush. 2. If you don't go to church where does one tithe? Tithes and offerings are a clear teaching of scripture. 3. How does one do the ordnances of communion and baptism by yourself? Both are commanded of believers in the New Testament. 4. After salvation in Acts 2 and 20, they met together. Hebrews 10:25 does indicate we will attend. The normal Christian life will want to be with other believers. 5. When you are down and out of luck, God’s people should build you up, put groceries on your doorstep, pray for you, and maybe even give you a tip on a job you hadn’t noticed. 6. On a totally secular level, it is a great place to interface with other business people and trade info and maybe business. I live in California where the housing market is almost entirely dead as I write. I have two wonderful women I am earnestly praying for that they will sell houses. One put a house on the market this week and I am calling it an answer to prayer. Gives me faith, gives her family an income. 7. If you don’t want to be with God’s people on earth, why in the world would you want to be with God’s people in heaven? 8. Don’t give me the gotta go to church thing. I promise you I will be fishing next week: rebellion lives deep in my heart. I go to church because my children and grand-children watch me and I am an example. I go to church to fellowship. I love the live music and enjoy the singing. I enjoy looking at the pretty spirit-filled women interacting with husbands and children. I want to give my pastor encouragement, and my attendance helps. The Holy Spirit bugs me when I stay home and asks why aren’t I in church? These are the reasons I go to church 60 years on. |

92 | Is church membership biblical? | Heb 10:25 | Rolff | 207261 | ||
There are a number of items the Bible does not talk about directly but are covered under general rules. Romans 16: is about members of the church. Many of the Pauline letters talk about Christians as part of a whole, especially the last chapter of his epistles. 1 Corinthians 5:4 (NASB) In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5:5 I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough? 5:7 Clean out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed. This passage is clearly talking about removing one from the church, if not the church membership list. 3 John 1:9 I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say. 1:10 For this reason, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words; and not satisfied with this, neither does he himself receive the brethren, and he forbids those who desire to do so, and puts them out of the church. One can’t be put out if they aren’t part of something. While on a different subject, it is one of the strongest “proof texts” for church membership. |

Thanks. I left out one of my points. Godly people, especially old godly people are found in church. | ||||||
94 | verse-wewillrecognizeeachotherinheaven? | Rev 4:4 | Rolff | 209952 | ||
REV 4:4 And around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and golden crowns on their heads. Moses and Elijah who had been in heaven for centuries still had their physical characteristics at the Transfiguration in Matthew 17. The 24 elders are recognized in heaven. Jesus will be known in heaven. Heaven and Earth are used together a number of times and they seem to be separate but closely linked. I.e. our physical characteristics will not change. Our bodies will be perfect, no sickness or crying, but we will be known. |
