…When Isaac died, his sons buried him (Genesis 35:29). It was important to Jacob that he be buried back with his fathers (Genesis 49:29-32) and a great procession took that journey to bury the embalmed body (Genesis 50:1-14). Joseph commanded that his bones not be left in Egypt (Genesis 50:25) and the children of Israel obliged (Joshua 24:32). The writer of Hebrews uses this as an example of faith (Hebrews 11:22). They buried Samuel at his home (1 Samuel 25:1)….
…13:2-5; 20:16; Romans 9:22; 2 Corinthians 2:15; 4:3; Philippians 3:18-19; 2 Thessalonians 2:10; Hebrews 10:30; 2 Peter 2:1-3; 3:7). Nevertheless, these passages do not settle the matter because the same terminology is used of Satan at the cross (Hebrews 2:14—”through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil”), and of the Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:8—”whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming”)….
…and I felt that God had forgiven me. But I don’t feel His forgiveness this time. I’ve read Hebrews 10:26-27 and those verses really scare me. Tim’s Answer I appreciate your inquiry. I take it that the girl did not object to you kissing her but that you feel that your act of kissing was disobedient to God. Kissing another person was a common way of greeting people in Biblical times (Luke 7:45; Romans 16:16; 1 Corinthians 16:20; 2 Corinthians…
…saying that those who believe are not saved? If so, I think Jesus would take issue with you, as He repeatedly states that belief will bring eternal life (Luke 7:50; 18:42; John 1:12-13; 3:15, 16, 18, 36; 4:39-43; 5:24; 6:40, 47; 7:38 [belief as the condition for having the Holy Spirit]; 9:35-38; 10:37-38; 11:25-26; 12:46; 14:1; 17:20; 20:30-31), and only once mentions baptism in the same sentence as salvation, and this in a disputed passage in Mark 16:16 which many…
…also Romans 1:5; 16:26). The writer of Hebrews uses this same concept when addressing those to whom salvation comes (Hebrews 5:9). And God’s judgment still comes on those who do not obey (2 Thessalonians 1:8). I trust this helps. Saul’s life is a sober reminder to us of the call of Jesus for us to keep His commandments. May the Lord Jesus and His spirit guide you in doing His will. A servant, Check out our related article: Sin and…
…sacrifice. He states in Colossians 3:1-3 that we should set our minds on heaven. The author of Hebrews tells us to look to Jesus (Hebrews 12:2). Walking with the Spirit is simply this, to stay in the Word and setting our minds on the relationship we have with God Himself. Everything that we do, in word or deed, we are to do all to the glory of God. So, I encourage you to deepen your love for God. Focus on…
…an evil twin named misfortune. Whether in the form of a paper prophecy inside a baked cookie, or a horoscope aligning your day, fortune masquerades as an unseen force to bless and to not bless. Superstition This one is a laugher—a person thinks how they live will then result in what happens in his or her life. This is true because God deems it true (cf. Galatians 6:7,8), and has so ordered His universe. But superstitions boil down to the…

…my new book with aid from helps in the front (subjects like depressed, discouraged, and defeated) I felt all of these emotions and thought, Why didn’t someone tell me about these things before? The words were like fireworks going off as I read this miraculous book, soaking it up like a sponge. Amazingly, I was receiving answers to all of my problems.
