Bible Questions & Discussion PAGE 856

I see the laying aside of the grave clothes as the final discarding of anything to do with this life and of course death . Christ has moved from the mortal , to being immortal , from death to eternal life . He truly is not of this world anymore , we shall be like him .

My feeling is that the darkness is this world and the people of it , as opposed to people like us , Christians , who walk on the light , the light of course being Christ . Hope I explained that ok , and it's just my feeling about it .

What is the significance of the "eyes as a flame of fire " and the "feet as fine brass burned in a furnace " in Revelation 1?

Very good question, Claudia! Always go to the Bible for truth and guidance. Jesus said, in John 4:23, 24 -

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

It is the mode today to worship the Lord in flesh and error instead of in Spirit and truth!

It is the mode today to inject a lot of fleshly inventions into the worship of God, which appeal to our own tastes, our own souls, our own wants and desires! We like songs that 'produce' a feeling in us! We like flashing lights and smoke and often churches look like rock concerts! Worship is not about us - it is about the Lord!

We have nothing to bring the Lord but sincere hearts, deep praise, manifold thanksgivings, hearty worship, and ceaseless prayer. Those are things to go to God with! :) God bless you!

If wisdom is what you seek I would suggest 2 things:

1. Pray and ask God for wisdom (regularly)

2. Read God's word which is the most popular, profound, and life changing book in history and start with books by Solomon, the wisest man in the world. Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon. So, I think you started in the right place, but there is much wisdom throughout the entire Bible.

John 14.1

A no brainer that Jesus says God and he are two separate persons

Hey Benjamin,

I agree with S Spencer and Noel, for those of us who have heard of Jesus and are called and have accepted Jesus as our savior the answer would be no.

I would like to give my understanding; God is a loving God Zephaniah 3:17 God will help and strengthen us Isaiah 41:10 God is just and upright Deuteronomy 32:4 and God is love and merciful Ephesians 2:4.

There are millions of people who lived and died before Jesus first came, and millions who have lived and died since who have never heard who Jesus is and what He offers. What happens to them? Everyone who is alive today and all who have lived in the past has the knowledge of good and evil thanks to the first Adam.

The white throne judgment many teach is only for the lost and unrighteous, my understanding is different. In Revelation 20:11-15 all the rest of the dead is judged, small and great and the books were open, and they were judged from the things written in the books, according to their works. In verse 15 it says this, "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire". Along with other scriptures, my understanding is there were some names in the book of life.

God only knows, some scripture gives a clue, People under the law being judged by the law and those who do by nature the things contained in the law not under the law (judged from the things written in the books) Romans 2:12-15, and if the white throne judgment is for lost only, how do we understand these verses, Daniel 12:2 Matthew 25:32-46 John 5:28-29 Acts 24:14-15.

God bless,

Leaving the hospital after a treatment, I remember n how Jesus layed his clothing and napkin seperate places from one another. I too found myself folding the blankets placing them back on the bed. Unusual behavior that brought to remembrance of these things. You are right to say we will be like him. J esus was very articulate., in his timing knowing he would always be doing his Father's will. We must know that even in temptation we have an advocate withFather.

You asked me to give my opinion, but before I did that I wanted to lay out what an opinion on this topic should be based on. Regardless of what conclusion I reach, you cannot base your opinion on that. You have to be convinced based on scripture more than anything I or anyone else says.

Now my opinion is that Melchisedek is a preincarnate appearance of Christ and that what the author of Hebrew attributes to Melchisedek are derived from Christ's actual preincarnate attributes. The appearance of Melchisedek is nonetheless presented convincingly as a man in the original account, as we should be convinced Christ's preincarnate appearances would not preclude Him from His incarnate appearance which makes Him our sympathetic High Priest.

The alternative interpretation that the author of Hebrews is taking advantage of an absence of information about Melchisedek to build an entire theology of Christ's High Priesthood around undermines his entire case. If you can falsely attribute Christ's attributes to a mere man that meets none of those qualifications to establish that Christ's High Priesthood and the nature of it predates the Levitical Priesthood and the inadequate nature of it, how have you proven anything other than that you may be a liar?

If Melchisedek was in reality just like the Levites that were born, lived and died and his nature in no way actually differed from theirs other than the point in time he arrived, the case made in the Book of Hebrews falls. Without the resurrection, had Christ merely become incarnate at a point in time and died on a cross, the entire Gospel falls.

Anyway that is my view.

God is still our only hope today as He was all the yesterdays pastthere is no surety (lasting help) on things of this world; all things are temporal here"I will lift mine eyes unto the hills which cometh my helpmy help comes from the Lord Who made Heaven and Earth," ( Psalms 121:1-2).

There is nothing that God cannot do. All scriptures points to the Salvation through our Lord-and Savior Jesus Christ

Hi Benjamin.

Good question, and the answer is no. I will share a few of many scripture that testifies Jesus Christ is the only way.

John 14:6. "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

John 10:7-9. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

All that ever came before me are "thieves and robbers:" but the sheep did not hear them.

I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

( THE THIEVES AND ROBBERS IS JUDAISM OR ANY OTHER RELIGION. )

Acts 4:10-12. Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Here's what and how we're accepting.

Romans 10:8-10. But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

This is not a mere "Profession". It's a genuine change of heart!

The Holyspirit convicts a sinner of sin drives them to repentance, falling on Christ for mercy.

God bless.

No. Without Christ there's no atonement for the sinner sins. See John 14:6; Ephesians 2:13; 8-9; Romans 5:18; 4:25.

We shall be like him Fred !

Use google search bible measurements.

You are welcome!!

James 4:13-16

This is why we say God willing.

And we don't promise either. We just say yes or no and do it. Anything more than that is evil.

Thank you , that was very well explained ,especially the scriptures you used .

My question is darkness comprehended it not, what was this darkness ??

Dear Child of God, allow me to give you an example of darkness. So if we as Christians say I am in fellowship with Christ I have picked up my Cross and walk with Christ on the narrow road...??? So you went and Repented and was baptised and you entered the waters of Baptism defiled for you entered the waters with 3 vices out of the 7 vices that you did not remove before entering the waters You still are in darkness.....Or you did remove all 7 vices before entering the waters of Baptism but returned to satans material world for you could not give up the luxurious life style you are used to, well you are in darkness you do Not walk in the light as Christ does...We lie and do not practice the Truth....This is where the churches have deceived many Christians by entering the waters of Baptism defiled......We are not perfect nor can we be for we are in flesh but we can only try each day to be perfect so when our Fathers sees us trying so hard to remove all 7 vices from us then he allows a helping hand. Then you will feel the Light upon your heart full of joy is all you feel....And this is when you will receive the Gifts of the Spirit

.God bless The Grace of our Father God be with you...

To be separate is to lack. Be spirit in the vessel man and know yourself to healed already with heart felt gratitude. Be Free

Think as spirit in the vessel (wo)man, govern all thought, give gratitude for that yet received for our will is as of the creator.

Be Free

You have good answer here, i would say "I AM".

I know a woman who was uplifted in a higher heaven. :) (reminded me of something i read).

He took this little lady on a trip to the universe! While they moved out there among millions of stars, and different moons and suns. Other solar systems she got an indication of the Lord's Amount of what He says when He says," I Am". Some words Omniscient, All Life, Truth, Essence of Life, The Only, Unique God.

Actually, there is no one in the human sense who knows what God really is. Because as long as we are on earth, we will be bound to our flesh. But that does not mean that we should not search for the higher insights.

Luke 12 God bless u and yours and have thru sence in Jesus name, love u in Christ.

Why do some Christians say, "if God be willing", or "if it be God's will"? Isn't that unbelief or even doubt, and does not the Word of God say that my people perish for lack of not knowing the truth, or having knownlege of the truth.

Dear Child of God. It is Gods will Not ours. When I go to touch the sick I can only touch the man God has chosen to be healed Why? for the sins of their Fourth Fathers is upon him thats why. God's people perish every day, how many Christians read the Bible and go to church every Sunday and yet no one understands this scripture

MATT 5:17 Whoever therefore BREAKS ONE of the least of these Commandments and teachers men so shall be called Least in the Kingdom of Heaven.??? Why because you all follow a Man and his understanding of the our Fathers Book the Bible. This is the Lack of Truth, The world has broken the 4th Commandment to keep the Sabbath Holy a day of rest from all labour. Do you keep this day Holy Child. For this day is the SEAL of GOD. This is why it is the WILL of God. The Truth is, read your Bible on your own. For God dose Not dwell in a Temple made my hands ACTS 17:24 And keep his Laws for our churches will stand before the throne of God. For the Spirit of Truth is sent to you by God if it is Gods will for you to have such a gift Child......Keep the Sabbath and your Gifts will be amazing for God is loving to an obedient Child.

God Bless The Grace of our Father God be with you.

Can someone who has not accepted Jesus make it to heaven?

Dear Child of God Claudia Our Father God is where ever you go child, sit in your yard and close your eyes and allow the morning sun to be upon your face and there is God. For our Father does Not dwell in a Temple made by hands ACTS 17:24. For the Kingdom of God lives in Us....Follow No man Christ Yeshua said follow me.....For the Holy Spirit will teach you the scripture. Read your Bible on your own do not allow another man to teach you his understanding of our Fathers Book the Bible....For the Bible is sealed ISAIAH 29:11.....So you see when our Father God sees you reading on our own he will guide you Claudia.... God bless

Explain omega in the literary and Biblical concept of Isaiah 46:10

Hi dear "Tamala", now it is one or maybe more diseases that make people lie. Then we who are Christians should not doubt in our spirit. But pray that the liar may disappear, right? In the Name of Jesus we pray then. I have met liars and the liar himself. It's a terrible experience. If they are not with you daily, it can help and pray that they come to the knowledge of truth. That they get to see the light, we must pray for all people.

If u are a christian dont ever give up hope. If u are not its more difficult. God bless u in Jesus name, love u in Christ.

Luke 12

That Christ's entry into heaven and sitting at the right hand of God is a time of preparation I take from John 14:1-4 and Psalm 110:1. The fact that Psalm 110:1 has escaped your attention in all that you have said tells me you are missing something critical to Peter's encouragement. In Matthew 22:41-46 Jesus put an end to the Pharises testing questions with this verse and his question to them. I think at minimum the Psalm 110 reference is plainly in Peter's view and is a definite source of comfort to suffering Christians, whose enemies will ultimately be placed under Christ's feet as His footstool.

In my view these two passages I just mentioned relate to both God's patience and Christ's patience in sitting at the Father's right hand. Until the Father has completed His preparations, the final judgement of our age will not occur. But suffering Christians are awaiting that with Christ. To begin and end with the comfort of baptism is not all there is to cling to for those enduring true continuing and unrelenting injustice and suffering. The ultimate triumph of Christ's power over His enemies is also in view here. The spiritual realm being placed in subjection first signifies more is to come.

I take comfort in that, particularly for brothers in countries that have real persecution of Christians. They know the promise of baptism, but they also look forward to and will know vindication when the Father has brought all things in subjection to Christ in His full triumph over all of His enemies.

The salvation Noah experienced was the actual sweeping away of the wicked through the flood. Baptism, like in the case of Noah or the Israelites crossing the Red Sea, promises triumph over and final separation from the wicked and our enemies that we can be assured will actually occur through Psalm 110:1 (and the rest of that Psalm).

Dear "Miram-Christene Peters".

Jeremiah 50:36

A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.

Revelation 21:8

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

And mm. Be blessed in His Holy Name Jesus, love u in Christ. Luke 12
