  • James Trotter on John 1 - 3 years ago
    In Song of Solomon chapter 2 verse 7 it reads in the 1611 KJV,"I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till she please." In the 1769 revision, it reads,"till he please." Why the difference? Which is more accurate?
  • Dr John Burgess on 1 Corinthians 6:13 - 3 years ago
    Why so hung up on King James? It was the 8th English translation (not the first as is often taught) and the translators had no access to much older, and obviously more accurate manuscripts, which are available today and have been incorporated into more modern translations. I am curious why KJV is considered by many to be the only valid translation. And even more curious about what missionaries do with non-English speaking peoples. And don't tell me that you translate the KJV into their language because that's impossible. The word SNOW is found in the KJV but equatorial tribes don't have any concept of snow or even cold. I see this as a problem that KJV worshipers have. A Baptist friend of mine - whose church has NIV's for pew Bibles, once said that those who hold only to the KJV are worshiping the book rather than the author. I'd be interested in your answer. Please respond to my email address as well as on line because I may not see your answer on your website.

    Information on the Judgements of God. What are they, when are they, who are they about, I'm sure there are different kinds. Even a scripture I once read said talk of God's judgements.

    Thanks,

  • Carleton on 1 Corinthians 6:13 - 3 years ago
    How do we line up to this confession of faith?

    "We believe and confess that God has ordained power & authority, & set them to punish the evil, & protect the good, to govern the world, & maintain countries & cities, with their subjects, in good order & regulation; & that we, therefore, may not despise, revile or resist the same, but must acknowledge & honor them as the ministers of God, & be subject & obedient unto them, yea, ready for all good works, especially in that which is not contrary to the law, will, and commandment of God; also faithfully pay custom, tribute & taxes, & to render unto them dues, even also as the Son of God taught and practiced, & commanded His disciples to do; that we, moreover, must constantly and earnestly for the prosperity of the country, that we may dwell under its protection, earn our livelihood, & lead a quiet, peaceable life, with all godliness & honesty; &, furthermore, that the Lord would recompense unto them, here, & afterwards in eternity, all benefits, liberty, & favor which we enjoy here under their praiseworthy administration."

  • Jayden Gaines on Genesis 7 - 3 years ago
    Why is it important to learn about the bible
  • Rick Colombe on Hebrews 8 - 3 years ago
    To Carleton: I pray you'll wake up to the world all around you, and fight the good fight. Is it good with you to know Infants are being murdered because of Planned Parenthood, which is supported by the Democrat party? Do you really believe that is ok? Not to involve yourself? It's about time you "wake up" Carleton!!!
  • Harrison Ajayi on Isaiah 9:8 - 3 years ago
    What is rapture and the second coming of Jesus christ
  • Paula Price on Revelation 9:18 - 3 years ago
    I have a question concerning musical instruments in our worship today.. I have read and study one view on this and it is something that I have never studied before and had never even heard in all of my church going years. There are those who believe that instrumental music is not authorized for the New Testament worship of God today. I have read all the scriptures supporting this but it has come from one source. What is your commentary on this subject and do you have scripture to validate your stand? I have read the new Testament and have not found the use of musical instruments mention when the disciples gathered to worship. How did it come to be acceptable in our worship services if it was not authorized by God for his worship to him according to the gospel of Jesus? I would just like to hear another view on this subject but know that we are worship God in spirit and in truth. We are to do the will of God, and not what is pleasing to us. When we gather together for worship we are to worship according to His purpose and by his authority, according to the New Testament. The Israelites were commanded to worship with music in the Old Testament, but no mention of instruments were mentioned in the new Testament.
  • Patrick Boone on Isaiah 5:20 - 3 years ago
    I'd like to know why astrology is frowned upon but explains the Bible better than any pastor ever could?
  • Andrew Tang on Psalms 81 - 3 years ago
    Psalm 81:10 "I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it."

    Dear Sir As for this verse my Pastor interpret as 'When we pray and worship, we must take off mask, our mouth and face must never be covered before God...it's our mouth that will open before Him and He will fill it.

    Was he right? I find it is a bit distorted here. Please help. Thank you and God bless.
  • Mayra Bautista on Matthew 1 - 3 years ago
    What is the Holy Spirit or did this come about?
  • Stephende on Hebrews 11 - 3 years ago
    The "faith" chapter, Paul here is trying to define the indefinable. Is faith simply believing or something more tangible? Faith screeches past belief, as faith is more. It is a bet that the words written in the Bible are explicitly true, past debating. It is one's experience that God, for certain, is a rewarder, and His reward is with Him! In the garden, Jesus' night was full of angst, demonstrating his human side, but he proceded with his teaching mission. Moses endured twice 40 days and nights in supplication to El Shaddai, on behalf of the people who resorted to idolatry. The commandments were necessitated and were put into the Arc. There is no faith without obedience to God!!!
  • Juliana JooSabba on Wisdom of Solomon 11:1 - 3 years ago
    The words in this passage in the wisdom of Solomon are ointments to all souls that seek God with all their might. They are very powerful for the healings of every soul. They are very encouraging and cast away all doubts about the power of the Almighty Lord. The words lead people to know Jesus Christ in the verse that make reference to the water from the flinty rock which point to Him in 1st Corinthians 10.4. Who on this planet earth can take away this powerful scripture from the bible? I leave that to God.
  • Elaine on Acts 15:20 - 3 years ago
    Is it idolatry to have a wooden cross hanging on your rear view mirror?
  • Betty Miller on Deuteronomy 30:19 - 3 years ago
    ( 19) I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

    (20) That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

    -------------------------------

    Verses 19 & 20 goes hand and in hand which means, If we choose to live in sin ( having sex before marriage, marry a woman or man who has already been married, lusting for someone or thing, lies, deceitful, murderers, worship idols such as necklace crosses, portraits, lust

    gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride ) we will soon be under God's wrath. When things starts happening to us that's not so pleasant; we need to think about the the life style that we live and how we are by others. If you can't love everyone here on earth, God is not letting you go to heaven because God is not letting that type of spirit come there. Why do do think that the devil spirit roams about this earth and beneath the sea? He was kicked out of heaven thinking he can over take God throne. The devil fail to understand that God knows him inside and out; just as he knows us. God said that He wants only holy ones in heaven not a people that loves one and hate the other. We must be kind and have a heart to give to the poor. God said the poor will be with us always; this means that there will always be a chance for you to walk up to someone to offer them help of some kinds such as buy them food, offer to buy them clothes, offer to give them a job, offer them to come to your home to eat at your table, or offer them a gift card to help with their necessities . There is a book of life on everyone of us, so please , to all of you, Be mindful to what you say. God made All. We are All One!
  • Jane on Isaiah 5:20 - 3 years ago
    My pastor did a message on angels, our ministering spirits and said that the Lord sends healing angels to us. I always thought only Jesus/God heals? I could not find healing angel in the bible. Where is it?
  • Bob Grove on Luke 21 - 3 years ago
    Luke 21 v 7 , 8

    And they asked him , saying , Master , but when shall these things be ? And what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass ?

    And He said Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name , saying I AM Christ ; and the time draweth near : go ye not therefore after them .

    John 11 v 24 , 25 , 26 ,27

    She saith unto him , Yea Lord I believe that thou art the Christ , the Son of God which should come into the world .

  • Simon called Peter on Proverbs 23:27 - 3 years ago

  • Amber Burke on Mark 5 - 3 years ago
    Jesus tells us that we are asleep, when we die. he will come and resurrect us. So , why do people believe that their loved ones are in heaven, when they are asleep? You cant be in Heaven ,if he is coming to resurrect us..
  • Julie on 1 John 1 - 3 years ago
    1 John 1 establishes Jesus as God. Thou which was from the beginning... In the beginning was the word. Gen 1.1 Christ is the word in the flesh who gives eternal life to all who believe in Him. Emmanuel, God with us. The disciples asked to see God, and Jesus replied "Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? "

    Why do so many believe He is not God when it is written in His word? How can one expect admittance to heaven that do not believe Jesus is God and call themselves a Christian?

    It is written in Matthew "For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." Confess Jesus as God. If His word is not in us the saving message of Christ has not taken root. Read your Bible and understand.

    The Son, the second person in the Trinity, has a l w a y s e x i s t e d with the Father. God sent the light of the world, Jesus. We are called to walk with God in the light (for only he is without sin and we will never be on par with Him) our purpose includes us to confess our sins and follow the commandments.

    Pray to Jesus to forgive both sins you know you did and those you're not sure you did-that would cover your dreams or half second wrong thoughts. Work toward being the love of God perfected by keeping His commandments.

    Understand now what His love for you is, love and forgive one another as you would want Him to do for you.

  • Rebecca on Psalms 37:13 - 3 years ago
    Please tell me who wrote the psalms?
  • Robert on Matthew 11:28 - 3 years ago
    In response to Jayden

    Reasons why OT matters

    History of God's chosen people

    Apostacy of the Church

    Not to be legalistic

    Forgiveness and generosity taught

    God wants to be involved in our lives

    Different types of prayer

    Teaches us how to worship

    Man's desire to be stiff necked and rebellious

    Prophecy some for the latter days; some of a better covenant

    Fortells the coming of Christ

    Why the Messiah was rejected

    Reasons for the New Testament

    In the Messiah's words

    The Comforter or Holy Ghost explained

    A better covenant (a direct link to God; Jesus as the intersessor, HG as the teacher and guide, the Word written upon mankinds heart)

    Grace

    Freely given, paid for, open to all who ask and seek

    Warnings

    Notes: the New Testament wasn't written or formulated until 60 years after Christ's death, resurrection and ascension but people claim the Old Testament is irrelevant (i.e. "Nailed to the Cross").

    The Bible was not canonized until 1611.

    Before that some prophecies were still being fulfilled (i.e. destruction of Tyre). Many prophecies still are future. (i.e. restoration of Israel and 2nd Coming).

    We are no longer in the dark ages. The Bible is more available to all than it has ever been. The internet connects the world like never before. False prophets and doctrines occur at a ridiculous pace (i.e. Another prophecy from both Testaments).

    Yet mankind still persists, our way is better than God's.

    Read it for yourself. Use the resources mentioned above. Don't trust anyone's interpretation but the HG's. Devotionals or doctrines that treat the Bible like a bag of trail mix seem wrong (i.e. Isn't that how this started? Hasn't it continued ever since?). From Genesis to Revelations.

    Grace, not legalism. The Lord wants a relationship with all and all to be reborn. His offer of salvation is open to all who have eyes to see and ears to hear.

    May your journey be fruitful, full of joy, and may you be counted worthy of the Creator's kingdom.

    Blessings and Prayers
  • Carmelo on Matthew 10 - 3 years ago
    Hello! I have a reoccurring question, do we repent of our sins to be saved or repent because we are saved? I know in the book of Corinthians Paul talks about how the adulterous, fornicators, etc will not inherit the kingdom, thank you and God bless!
