Bible Questions & Discussion PAGE 778

Hi dear Jesse, I really miss some Bible verses for what you say.

God bless u and yours in Jesus Name, love u in Christ Romans 7:1-6 and Romans 8:11

I strongly believe that those people come to his/her place like Judas. Acts 1:25 I would rather see that this did not happen. We really dont know what chance a human being takes.

God bless u and yours in Jesus Holy Name, love u in Christ. Romans 7:1-6 ond Romans 8:11

Dear grace sister "AE"

She must make sure and keep herself clean in thoughts words and deeds. Without her, they will be lost. So she need to eat and also receive Spiritual nourishment so that she have something to go on. This is the first, we are not to destroy the temple of God, are we? 1 Corintihans 3:17 And the branch that believes in Him is valuable, as long as the branches bear fruit :) John 15:2

You have to decide this for yourself, but as far as i know the world, it does us no good! Because then our thought comes to utilization and it seems very worldly.

The world has no care for me either, it's probably pretty normal and feel that way. But remember Martha and Maria. Martha struggled and i can believe she got quite tired and even exhausted. While Mary received spiritual food. Luke 10:38-42 The best way is the Spiritual, although one must also take worldly chores occasionally, one can always Glorify God in what one does.

God bless u and yours in Jesus Name, love u in Christ. Romans 7:1-6 and Romans 8:11

Hi AE. A woman who is a wife & mother, indeed, a vital person in the make-up of the whole family, ordinarily will see to it that all her family are well looked after & their needs attended to. Yet, can one woman fulfil all the family's needs, especially when she has a son, other elderly family members, & her own marriage being affected? I don't believe that the Lord expects that one person should so over-extend herself that her own health & marriage should suffer. I know that God will give that extra grace & strength to help her persevere, especially combined with her own desire & womanly inclinations to give her all to her loved ones, but there has to be a limit. One cannot be expected to do more than one is able to give, whether at the workplace or in the home.

Not knowing who the other members of the family are, even among close friends, I would think that these people cannot sit idly by & allow one person to bear all these pressures & responsibilities. I realize that often people are oblivious to the hardships of others, maybe giving excuses about their own problems or workloads, or not wanting their free time to be lost to another, but the family must come together to discuss the problems & apportion out responsibilities to those who can assist - this sharing of the workload will in itself greatly re-vitalize the woman's state of mind & well-being; one person shouldn't have to carry the load by herself. I'm assuming that no government help is available or there's no entitlement in this situation.

If all else fails, I would seek to set priorities for those nearest to her that need her assistance; their cleanliness, sustenance (meals), & health needs are most important. House cleaning, running errands, etc. are less important. I share this having had a similar experience, very small in comparison (for over 5 years) with my elderly father-in-law till he passed on. I gave him full care - he could do nothing for himself. Please don't let this lady burn out.

Hello Mac. Btw, I'm not the same Chris who wrote to you much earlier; and also, I think you should have written in your first paragraph, "Saturday is the only day God blessed", in keeping with your belief.

Those, like yourself, who believe that the Sabbath is the "day God blessed & sanctified", need to also consider some other questions on this matter.

Questions such as: to whom was this Law (& indeed all Laws), given? What was the purpose of these Laws?

What is the meaning & requirements of the Sabbath? Was it any more than a rest day, a cessation of all work?

Is the Church that is formed under the New Covenant, obliged to come under those Laws (this Church which now comprised both saved Jews & Gentiles)?

When there was an instance in Acts 15:1-31, where the demand for Gentiles to be first circumcised & to keep the Law of Moses to be saved had to be dealt with, what was the response & apostolic decision? I'm sure you know the passage well. Did the apostles ever require the Gentiles, or any new believer, to come under the Mosaic Law?

If the Old Law only brought condemnation ( 2 Corinthians 3:6-17) & had to be done away with through Christ's Death, how is the Christian now able to know & fulfil the Laws of God?

If a believer now believes that he needs to keep the Laws & Sabbath in particular, can he condemn another who doesn't & who has understood the liberty Jesus gained for him to obey, to live, to worship God, as the Holy Spirit directs ( Romans 8:1-4; Galatians 5:1-4,18,25)?

Just a few questions to consider - not expecting answers, but hopefully to direct your mind to the full meaning of the full redemption we now have in Christ Jesus: redemption from sin's penalty & redemption from the Law's curse. We now obey many more Laws of God, more than what was given to the Jews to obey, & we do so from the continual ministry & power of God's Spirit.

Hi Giannis,

I'm not offended in the least bit. Your name would suggest that you might be fluent in the Greek language? If that is the case, I might learn from you. I have been a student of Koine Greek for several years now but still have much to learn.

I agree that the word PISTIS means faith. I also know that the word PEITHO means persuasion. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't these two words connected together, PEITHO being the verb form of the noun PISTIS?

My personal definition of the word faith (PISTIS) is the presence and activity of God's Spirit in a believers life.

And it is the activity of God's Spirit that persuades (PEITHO) a person to do the things of the Lord, and that is what defines faith, PISTIS being the noun, and PEITHO being the verb form of the noun.

Again, please correct me if I am wrong. I take no offense!

Ecclesiastes and Ecclesiasticus are two different books. The first is found in the Canon of Scripture that we have now; the second is found only in the Apocrypha or apocryphal section of some Bibles which hold to them.

Maybe some of these Scriptures may help you Christy: Proverbs 1:10-16; Proverbs 4:14; Romans 16:17; 1 Corinthians 6:18-20; 1 Corinthians 10:14; 1 Corinthians 15:33; Ephesians 5:11; 1 Thessalonians 5:22; 2 Thessalonians 3:6; 1 Timothy 6:10,11; 2 Timothy 2:16; 2 Timothy 2:22,23; 2 John 1:10,11.

When a woman is married and has a son who needs her at all times, should she take care of all the elderly in her family also? She took care of her Elder daddy until death. She is getting older and in need of care herself. What does a person do when it starts affecting a woman's marriage? I have always thought we are to care for our family and do all we can for them. This woman's health isn't as good as it was. What does God expect of us? In this situation?

Suite Up in God's amour/the letter God wrote to Youthe KJBible, We are not nearing the end days, we are living the end days. Oh all ye warriors, receive God's gift of disernment through:

Our Almighty Father in Heaven Holly Spirit cleanse my ears, open thine eyes from the slumber I have been kept, with God's Will.

In Jesus Christ/My Lord & Saviors name.

Amen

"There is POWERIN The name of Jesus"

Whete does the Bible say to avoid evil and we do not have to live everyone especially the evil people.

Hi Toby.

Welcome to the site.

Edom edomites=red man which is the white man right

Yes, it is written indeed. And you can get it in audio too!

Dear Jesse

You wouldn't be offended dear brother if I make a liguistic correction, would you? The Greek word for faith ("pistis") does not mean persuasion at all, it simply means faith. You probably have in mind the word "peitho" which means persuasion but this is a different word, it has nothing to do with "pistis".

GBU

Great pasture of scripture and I understand reading it and what the Bible says.

This chapter is sobering; in that the congregation is being challenged in verse 1 as to what is being spoken and judged. This would certainly indite those who were in the leadership in the O.T. system; but certainly could allude to the church today. The reward of the wicked is certainly without mincing of words here; verse 3 through 5 shows the intransigence; again even with those who would be "charmers" as it were; perhaps trying to woo them back to the truth with Godly wisdom. The analogy of breaking their teeth in verse 6 is certainly not isolated to this passage; we see psalms 3:7 and a passage in Job along with others with similar sentiments.

They are said to melt away ;in verse 8; and to be taken away in a whirlwind in verse 9. Again the comment in verse 10 is similar to that of the ashes of the wicked ( Malachi 4:3). Finally; men shall see the justice of God toward the righteous through such judment in the last verse.

We need to consider well the results of Korah's rebellion; and that of others who were among the exiles from Egypt in particular who knew of God's glory firsthand but chose to reject it for foreign gods with some delusion that comforts of this world that they left behind in Egypt would somehow be found. Judgment certainly is greater for those who know the truth; but reject it; better they never knew the truth according to Peter ( 2 Peter 2:21). A change of heart surely must occur to truly be saved; a heart of flesh instead of stone (Ezekeil 36:26).

You can taste and see that the Lord is good , but you need to be born again to have a lasting result .

The old man is like a leaky wine skin, the new man grows stronger .

I have always thought of it this way .

It could apply to other applications as well .

Dear Anointed one,

A person who has been born of God's Spirit is a person who goes to heaven. It's called Spirit baptism. It has nothing to do with water. It is when God's Spirit comes into your spirit and seals your spirit. That is salvation.

A person must receive Jesus Christ. I don't like to use the word accept. There is a difference between accept and receive. In fact, the bible never says to accept Christ. It does tell us to receive Him. To accept just means to mentally agree with what Jesus did for our salvation. But we must receive Him, not accept.

As far as the cannabis usage goes, I would have to ask the cannabis user (whoever it is), if the Lord is leading them to use cannabis? Jesus gave us a command to follow Him. So whatever it is we are doing, we need to ask ourselves that question. Is this the Lord leading me to do this?

The bible says "that which is not of faith is sin." That Greek word for faith is the word persuasion. In other words, anything we do that the Lord is not persuading us to do, that is considered sin. But the Lord has a provision for that, go figure!

However, the bottom line is that every person who has been born of God's Spirit, that person will spend eternity with Christ. Everything in between, (if a person belongs to Christ), He will deal with that person if they are doing something they shouldn't be doing. I'm not sure if this is the answer you were looking for?

Here are a few verses that answer these kind of questions.

1 John 2.15,16,17

And the world passes away, the lust of there of : but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever .

( Luke 5:34-39/Part 2)

Frances,

So, they would pour new wine into new wineskins. And then when the wine stopped expanding, the skins would harden and you would have a container. However, if you were to pour the wine out after the wine skins have hardened, and pour new wine into the old wine skins, and the wine began to ferment and expand; the skins are not going to go with it because it has hardened now. It will break!

So, nobody puts new wine into old bottles else the new wine will burst the skins, and be spilled, and the wineskins shall perish.

Luke 5:38-39 can be taken together: The word better in Greek means useful. What Jesus is saying is that there's an old dying religious system that people just will not give up, because when Messiah comes, He's going to set up His kingdom. And you cannot mix the new with the old. Jesus did not come to breathe life into the old Jewish religious system.

He called people to follow Him. When He went into the synagogues, He said everything that you're studying here is about me. But He didn't have a building, He didn't have a church. He walked through the villages, and lived in the hills because He was not establishing a religious system.

And He says the two don't mix, the old and the new. You can't pour new wine into an old dying religious system. Nor can God pour His spirit into somebody that says, "the old is better, no thanks, I like the old system!"

Hope this helps you out!

Frances,

I am going to use two posts to cover those 6 verses), and hopefully this will help you. The second post will be ( Luke 5:34-39/Part 2)

In Luke 5:34, Jesus is using the language from Isaiah Chapter 61 where Messiah is presented as the bridegroom, and the believers in Messiah are the bride. He says look, its wedding day. Fasting is for grief. If you are going to have a celebration, you don't fast!

Luke 5:35: Jesus says, But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and in the Greek it's an act of violence, He is violently removed from them, and then shall they fast in those days. He will be taken away, it will be a time of grief, and then they will fast.



Luke 5:36: The ladies here should know more about this than us men do. If you have a tear in a garment, and Jesus is talking about un-shrunk material. You take old material that has already been through the shrinking process, and some new material that hasn't shrunk at all, and then you take some of the new material and use that as your patch. What happens when you wash it? The new material is going to shrink up and pull and it will eventually tear. They do not match. They do not go together!

Luke 5:37: And no man puts new wine into old bottles. Now the word "bottles" in Greek is wine skins, but they use them for bottles. What they would do is take new wine skins, form it so that you have a funnel at the top, and they would pour new wine into new wineskins, and then the wine would ferment and expand and the wine skins would expand with it.

I have checked several of my KJV Bibles and do not find chapters pass the 12th chapters in Ecclesiastes .. I am not sure that there is a 20th chapter.. my my my

ECCLESIASTICUS 20:7 KJV "A wise man will hold his tongue till ...

We have so much to look forward to , keep your eyes on the prize !

You have been baptized in the name of Jesus, and you have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior.

Can you still go to heaven if you are a Cannabis user?

No!! You will not make it into heaven if you commit suicide! In the Name of Jesus, seek the Lord and seek his glory in your life.

Can you please explain what Luke 5:34-39 means.

Thank you,

Frances
