81 | Hebrews 2:3-4 | Not Specified | humility | 215411 | ||
What do you say to a person who says, "It's "harder" to be saved in these last days than it was back in the Bible days, because back in the Bible days, there was alot more miracle, signs and wonders being performed by God and His messengers than it is today. I'm not saying that I have to see signs in order to believe that there is a God, but miracles are a great ways of proving the existence of God. Just look at the incident where Moses parted the red sea, If something like that was to happen today, alot more people would be followers of Christ." | ||||||

85 | Resurrection Day, not easter! | Exodus | humility | 215267 | ||
I want to apologize for my comment. I do agree with you in some point Val. I agree that I did'nt have to go to the extreme that I went to yesterday, plz forgive me. But I do feel that Saturday, which is the seventh day of the week, is God's Holy Day. Why? Because it's biblically correct. To all my Catholic friends who may be apart of this forum, I sincerely apologize for the extent that I went to, but I must speak the truth in love. | ||||||
86 | Resurrection Day, not easter! | Exodus | humility | 215229 | ||
While I do agree that Easter has a pagan origin, I cannot agree that the resurrection day of our lord is a holy day, (according to Jesus). It's "man's" holy day, not God. Jesus calls one day of the week holy, and that's His Sabbath day, which is the seventh day of the week. Gen 2:2-3, Exodus 20:8-11, Matt 12:8, Mark 2:27-28, Luke 23:56. Sunday sacredness is a Roman Catholic's defyance of holy scriptures. The Romans worshiped many gods, therefore, all the days of the week, and the majority of what we call holidays (ie. Holy-days), were named by pagans, sunday was named after the sun god, monday was named after the moon god, wednesday was named after the planet venus, and saturday was named after saturn. If you do some research, you would find that the Catholics admits to changing God's fourth commandment during a time known as the dark ages. Many Christians are ignorant to these things that happened in early church history. I'll give you another truth, Christmas is a joining together of two words, Christ and Mass, and Halloween was named in "honor" of the day before the roman pagans "hallowed" or worshiped all their dead saints, it was first called "All Hallowed Eve". Christians who go to church on sunday don't really understand that they are breaking God's fourth commandment, but Jesus said if you break one, you break all. (James 2:10-12) | ||||||
87 | Why not braided hair for women? | 1 Tim 2:9 | humility | 215225 | ||
Dear Azure, I think you read what I said just a little bit too fast. I said that Paul was NOT against the braiding of hair, I said He was against the style in which they did it. As they would braid their hair, they took melted pieces of gold and weaved it into their hair the same time. They also used gold as decoration for their hair. Paul thought all this was unnecessary. With the clothing issue, Paul did admonish the women to "adorn themselves with modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety;not with braided hair, or gold, or COSTLY array (expensive clothing)". Thanks for correcting me on the "tight-fitted" and "skimpy" situation. I might of taken it a little too far there. Plz forgive me. |

88 | Why not shorn or shaven for the woman? | 1 Cor 11:6 | humility | 215222 | ||
When we read the Bible, we have to take 4 things into consideration. (1) Who wrote the letter, (2) Who did He write the letter to. (3) Why did He write the letter or what was the problem. (4) Understand the cultures and traditions of the people during that time. Undrestanding all that is vital when it comes to studying the Bible, that way, it's impossible to be confused, especially if we pray, asking the for the Holy Spirit, (who inspired these writers), to be our helper. Now in Paul's day, a hair covering for a woman, would be what a wedding ring is to us today. It showed that that woman was married. It showed virtue on a woman's behalf. A woman's hair was also her beauty. (1 Cor 11:15) I personally believe a woman's hair is still her beauty today. Her taking off her "head-covering", would be like my wife taking off her wedding ring, it was a sign of disrespect to her husband and to God, according to their tradition. (1 Cor 11: 13). They took this stuff serious back then. Even so, If my wife was to stop wearing her wedding ring at church or in public, I would like to know what's wrong. Lol! So in the same way, the principle of reverence and respect between spouses in the marriage still applys to us today, the only thing that is different now, is the culture, it's not the head-covering no more, it's the ring. I expect my wife be proud to show off her wedding ring, it's just another way of letting me and the world know how much she loves me. Whatever I do, it affects her, whatever she do, affects me, whether it be good or bad. Although the ring is'nt that big of a deal, I still love to see her wear it, it also let's the other guys know she's mine. All mine! Lol! Unfortunately, Paul had to teach these women how they ought to carry themselves in public and in the sanctuary. We see also in verse 4, vice versa, if a man be praying or prophesying with his head covered, he dishonered his head (which is Chist). This principle still applys us in some ways too, because even in our culture today, we take off our caps before we pray, before we eat, when we go to church we go without our caps. Some women love to wear hats when they dress, others let their gorgeous hair show as a covering. I also agree with Paul in verse 14, I believe a man should have his hair neatly cut and groomed rather than have it long all the way down his back like the way females do. I don't think that's being masculine on a man's behalf. When fellas grow long hair, sometimes it's kinda hard to tell whether they're male or female. That's why Paul admonishes the people to let their own consciences be their guide. (verse 13) I hope this helps you out in some way, @nohunt. |

89 | Why not braided hair for women? | 1 Tim 2:9 | humility | 215220 | ||
There we're some women in Paul's day who were not very modest. These women lacked the character that the holy women in old times possessed. The women in old times trusted whole-heartedly in God, and was totally submissive to their husbands.(1 Peter 3:1-6) But not in Paul's day, as you can see in verses 10 and 11 of 1 Timothy. They was loud and disruptive during church services. They even dressed the way the harlots of that era would dress. Paul was not against the plaiting of the hair like we do today, what had happened was, the women would braid their hair with pieces of gold, as decoration, running all through it. They would wear expensive, tight-fitted and skimpy clothing as well. The only women, in Paul's day, who would put on this kind of show, was the harlots (prostitutes) and the women of the world. Paul not only addressed this issue in Timothy's church, He also addressed this issue in the church at Corinth. (1 Cor 11) Sad to say, alot of Christians today, (men and women) ignore these admonitions as well, applying these principles to "Paul's era", and not for us. Some of us focus a little too much on the outward adornment as well, when, what is really precious in the sight of God, is the hidden man of the heart, "ornaments" of a meek and quiet spirit. The Prince of this world is using his people to transform some of us instead of the other way around. | ||||||
90 | Should women wear mens' clothes? | Deut 22:5 | humility | 215219 | ||
Should a man wear a hat to shield his face from the sun? Should a man wear sunglasses to protect his eyes from the sun's light rays? Should a man wear a jacket to protect him from the cold? Should a man wear pants to cover his nakedness? If your answer is yes, then apply these same principles to the opposite sex. Should a man wear women's panties? Should a man wear a bra? Should a woman wear men's jockey (briefs)? I think not! There's a principle behind every one of God's laws. It's not what you wear, but rather, WHY you wear it that determines whether it's a sin or not. Some women wear pants because it's necessary for the type of job they may have. Some wear it when exercising. It depends on the occasion. Jesus said judge not according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgement. However, that only comes by spending time with our lawgiver, Jesus Christ. |

91 | Life in the power of the tounge. | NT general | humility | 215192 | ||
LOl! This question really made me laugh at first, but when I looked at it a little longer, I saw how serious it really is. The Holy Spirit immediately put this text into my mind, (Romans 10:15), it says "How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!" Now if I were to interpret verse 15 in the same way you interpret verse 9, I guess I could say, only those who have "FEET" are chosen by God to preach the gospel. I have one question for you (walkforchrist). If you had a child who was born dumb ie, (lacking the power of speech), what would you say to me if I was to say to you, "You will never really know if this child really loves you." I'm sure your response would be, "Well, why do you say that?" And I respond by saying, "Well, how could you or anybody know for sure, unless the child opens it's mouth and says to you, "I love you"? How would you feel? Especially if you really love that child and have an intimate relationship with him/her? When the child is hungry, he/she cries. When the child has a dirty diaper, it cries. When he/she is happy, it smiles from ear to ear. Parents, especially mothers, have a God-given instinct that lets them know how to nurture and care for their kids without them being able to talk. That smile alone lets them know, "Hey! my child is happy". Even though that parent knows that there is a possibility that their child would never be able to speak, their child would still be able to kiss them, hug them, cook for them, help out with the chores, basically, anything besides answering the phone. Without that child being able to say anything, his/her works or actions will show exactly who they really are. The same thing with a Christian, our works show who we really are on the inside. God knows each and everyone of His children in a personal and special way, even though we might be deaf, dumb, blind, lame, retarded, rich, poor, black or white! We could preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to our friends and family members without being able to utter one word! Thats the power of God! Jesus said "By this will all men know that ye are my disciples, if you have love one toward the other. (John 13:35) Not just by saying it, although being able to say it would be better, but God loves all His children the same. Many Christians today could "talk-the-talk" but hav'nt gat the slightest idea of what "walking-the-walk" truly means. I'd rather be dumb, and have a faithful and prosperous walk with God, than to be in a perfect physical condition, yet, still, a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal in the sight of God! | ||||||
92 | Do the dead praise God? | Luke 16:23 | humility | 215121 | ||

94 | Do the dead praise God? | Luke 16:23 | humility | 215083 | ||
The rich man and Lazarus was a parable Jesus used to teach us to be faithful stewards with whatever God blesses us with, and not to neglect the "Lazarus'" of the world. The poor and needy, the lost, the hopeless, Jesus was not saying that we are judged immediately after we die. That would be contradicting what He said in (John 5:28-29). We are judged at His second-coming. Furthermore, Abraham is not in heaven,(according to Hebrews 11:39-40), nor is David (Acts 2:29-35) or the other patriarchs except Enoch, Moses, Elijah and those who raised from the dead along with our Lord, Jesus (Matt 27:51-53). Absent from the body, present with the Lord meaning, when our breath leaves our body, the next conscious thing we are going to experience is the resurrection. It does'nt say absent from the body, IMMEDIATELY PRESENT with the Lord. When God told Adam and Eve that they would surely die, did they die IMMEDIATELY after they ate the forbidden fruit? NO! But they surely did die years later! |

95 | Commission to seller..is it bribe | 2 Corinthians | humility | 215069 | ||
I believe it's a bribe Rajeeb. What I think you should do is wait for them to ask you for something, then give it to them. You could even give them the gifts AFTER THEY HAVE SOLD THE MEDICINE, that'll be your way of saying thank you. It would'nt look as if you were cohersing the situation either way. (2 Corinthians 9:7) | ||||||
96 | Do the dead praise God? | Not Specified | humility | 215067 | ||

What do you say to a person who says, "I don't believe that Jesus is God because in the old testament, God told Moses that no one could see His face and live." What they are really saying is, if Jesus is God, then everyone who saw Him would've died. | ||||||
