81 | Knowledge of any books | Prov 2:3 | compudex | 101383 | ||
Pro 2:3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; Pro 2:4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Pro 2:5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. Pro 2:6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. KJV |

82 | Did Jesus teach hate? | Luke 14:26 | compudex | 101202 | ||
One opinion: Jesus was eating and talking with the chief Pharisees and He knew there hearts and their deeds. The Scripture says they were watching Him. Jesus talked about how they lifted themselves up too much. Then one of them said (14:15) "Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God." Jesus responded to this platitude with the parable of a great supper. I think Jesus was relating to the Pharisees (because they knew the old testament) the account in Duet. 13:6-8* where it condemns putting other gods before the Lord. And when the bidden to the supper parable all had excuses not to come to the supper, in essence, is what they were doing. Putting there own interests before the Lord's. And with that, the word 'hate' is well used. And it doesn't conflict with the Commandments in that cense. *Deu 13:6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; |

84 | Balanced, centered, or lukewarm? | Eccl 7:18 | compudex | 101183 | ||
Hi Aixen7z4: To have balance in ones life. Balance with what? Am I satisfied with what I have done with the time the Lord has given me, no! When I look at the cross sometimes I just break down and cry. Sometimes the crying is from guilt and sometimes the crying is from gratefulness. Sometimes I ask what is the Spirit of Christ. I am still in a body that wants to do what it wants to do. I must understand this and ask God to forgive me where I fall short. I am elated when I am aware of His blessing. Balance, is there a balance? This maybe something we were taught or heard that was necessary for the ultimate Christian life. I don't recall reading in the Scriptures about balance. Some days I can't wait for Christ's return and some days I say Oh God, don't come now. How do I strive for balance? I don't. Am I perfect, no, not yet. Do I accept that? Sometimes. Am I frustrated? Yes, sometimes. I guess mostly when I look inside myself is when I pray. For then is when I am quiet and the Spirit brings to mind things that I can improve on. A few people I have talked with seem to think they should just go and go and go. I read in the Bible the events that have taken place. One page after another - this happened - that happened. The time span between the pages ( or events) usually is quite a while. Things just don't happen one right after another. In some places Paul spent two years at a time. As you said, I can't see what is in your mind. And I wasn't trying to. I just related to the confusion of thought. You are very right about - "It's a matter of quality over quantity." Is it a matter of condemnation? Yes, I get that thought sometimes. I even get the thoughts that God is not real. But, I know where these thoughts come from and who has entered them. We are spiritual creatures and we are susceptible to the spirit world. Not all our thoughts are our own. As for me, my roots are in the ground and I keep reaching for the Son. The Scriptures says that 'each star has its own glory'. So it is with us. Ever had the experience (or something like it) that you thought to yourself that you needed to do the laundry? Then you decide to wait until tomorrow. Then, that night one of your best friends calls you to go out for dinner. And the thought comes to you that you KNEW you should have done the laundry because now you don't anything clean to wear to the restaurant. In other words, sometimes it can be the most insignificant little thing, but that small voice is always for our betterment. Do we always hear it? Yes. Thanks for responding to my previous note. |

85 | why do we baptize differently? | Eph 2:9 | compudex | 101159 | ||
justme: I hope you have not taken what I said and make it sound as if I don't believe in baptism. I do believe in baptism. My last sentence was, "I agree one should be baptized, but if you are unable to do so "your faith has made you whole". And I am so glad that you could fulfill that elderly woman's last wish. The church I attended had baptismals once a week. Everyone that had accepted Jesus as Lord that week were gathered in front of the whole congregation for witness of their commitment. It was food for our souls to have everyone see our acceptance of Christ and it was food for the church to let them see those that were added to the kingdom of God. There is no conflict here! Grace to you. |

86 | Balanced, centered, or lukewarm? | Eccl 7:18 | compudex | 101151 | ||
Aixen7z4: Because of your question - is there a feeling of condemnation that has crept into your thoughts? Are you feeling that you have not or are not doing all that you can? If so, this thought is not unique to Christians. Often we find that sometimes an idea comes into our heads that we are not right in God's eyes. A seed of doubt. An attempt to steal joy. In the Gospels Satan tried this very thing with Jesus. Sowing doubt in our minds. Hot, cold, lukewarm. Ecclesiastes has a recurring word in it, vanity. This tool is used with precision in the hands of Satan. Getting us involved into looking inside ourselves too much. A mother holds her child and you can see the love she has for it in her eyes. Does a mother love her child less when she is washing dishes and you don't see the love? No, the spirit of her love is still the same. It is just not being displayed. Did Paul love the Lord less when he was making tents? (Acts 18:3*) No, it was not displayed, in that he was not out preaching and teaching. Yet, it was displayed because he was supporting himself. And actually, the mother's love was displayed by washing the dishes and keeping up the house as an act of loving her child. Therefore, what we do throughout the day can show our love to the Father just by doing daily responsibilities. God is not going to come into your kitchen and wash the dishes for you. Paul worked and supported himself, did his daily chores just like us, and tended to his calling, teaching and preaching. He was called to a full time ministry but he did his daily responsibilities as well. Do not separate Romans chapter 7 and Romans chapter 8. The words "there is therefore" in Rom. 8:1 means "what I am going to say next has to do with what I just said". My supportive Scriptures, cause I am still man: Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. Rom 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. Rom 7:16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Rom 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. Rom 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. Rom 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Rom 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. Rom 7:21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. Rom 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: Rom 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. * Act 18:3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. God works in us everyday toward getting us to the mark. Every day can be an adventure. Nothing can remove you from the Hands that love you. Mark 14:38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. Grace to you! |

87 | Christian Opposition Polictian SINNED! | Rom 13:1 | compudex | 101135 | ||
Dear Pratical Bible Student: Could you clarify your question? Is it that you know someone that is in "the opposition party"? Does this mean that you are in the other opposition party? Then the term 'christian politican' is almost a contradiction in itself. But, assuming one christian was of one party and another christian was of the other party, the Scriptures come to mind that one of them is not like minded. "Of one mind": the right way! 2Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. Philippians 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; Philippians 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 1Peter 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: "Definition": Politician pol·i·ti·cian (p¼l”¹-t¹sh“…n) n. 1.a. One who is actively involved in politics, especially party politics. b. One who holds or seeks a political office. 2. One who seeks personal or partisan gain, often by scheming and maneuvering: “Mothers may still want their favorite sons to grow up to be President, but . . . they do not want them to become politicians in the process” (John F. Kennedy). 3. One who is skilled or experienced in the science or administration of government. Unfortunately the very word 'politician' has a bad connotation. Normally we think of a politician in the light of definition number 2 above. "Of one mind": the wrong way! Revelation 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. So, I guess you would have to judge the intent of their heart. I am glad I do not have to be the judge! Peace! |

88 | why do we baptize differently? | Eph 2:9 | compudex | 101005 | ||
Justme: were there baptisms before John the Baptist? Yes, I know about the group, but don't want to go there. Their doctrine will not keep them out of heaven if they are believers. The original question was why different ways of baptising. Paul said he was glad he didn't baptize many because of strife. Sorrowfully, we still have that today. I agree one should be baptized, but if you are unable to do so "your faith has made you whole". |

90 | why do we baptize differently? | Eph 2:9 | compudex | 100997 | ||
The word trinity is a theological term meaning 'The union of three divine persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, in one God'. If you are a believer and die before being baptized God has promised you eternal life. Otherwise there would be a 'work' involved in order to be saved. God said, "Not through works lest anyone should boast." Your salvation does not depend on any physical labor that you can do. Baptism in the New testament is 'sort of' like circumcision was in the Old Testament. It is an outward sign that an inner work had been done, a pact between you and God, being buried with Christ and rising into a new life committed to Him. Being baptized in Jesus' name and being baptized in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost are really the same thing. You are being baptized by someone who has the authority (in the name of) given to him by God. Jesus said whatever you do in 'my name' the Father will do it. That is, whatever you do that is in accordance to the will of the Father, will be done. Not, whatever is self exhaulting. Question: After Jesus rose to sit on the right hand of the Father, were the disciples rebaptized in His name? Are they saved? |

91 | What light was created on day one? | John 9:5 | compudex | 100264 | ||
Thank you for your suggestions. It is possible for plants to live for a day without sun light. It does rules out the theory that each creative day was a thousand years long as some interpret. | ||||||

Jesus told the man on the cross he would be with Him that day. (Luke 23:43) Paul tells us that being absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. (2Cor 5:6-8) Paul also states that when Jesus returns he will bring those that have passed on with Him. (1Thes 4:13-17) |
