The phrase "Do not blaspheme that worthy name by which ye are called" is actually a quote from the Bible, specifically from the book of James (James 2:7).

Believers in Jesus are called Christians and are described as new creatures, while their relationship with Jesus is characterized as that of a friend.

Why did Jesus say he will come as a thief?

Détails de la réponse

This passage is found in Revelation 16:15.

Détails de la réponse

The person who ordered Naboth's killing was Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab.

Jezebel then told Ahab that he could take possession of Naboth's vineyard. This incident is recorded in the Old Testament of the Bible, in 1 Kings 21. Therefore, "Jezebel," is the correct answer.

Likewise, ye wives be in subjection to your own husbands, that if any obey not the word, they also without the word be won by the conversation of the wives. What do you understand by the statement without the word”

Détails de la réponse

The phrase "without the word" in the statement "that if any obey not the word, they also without the word be won by the conversation of the wives" means that those who would not listen to our preaching may be won to God by our godly actions. This means that a wife's behavior and character can have a powerful impact on her husband, even if he does not believe in the Word of God. By living a virtuous and God-fearing life, a wife can be a positive influence on her husband and draw him closer to God. It does not mean that we should do evangelism by closing our mouth, or that we are in a dispensation of dropping the Bible, or that it is what is currently reigning.

Which prophet in the Old Testament recorded a famine of the word of God?

Détails de la réponse

The prophet who recorded a famine of the word of God in the Old Testament was Amos. Amos was a prophet who lived during the 8th century BC and was a contemporary of the prophet Isaiah. He was a shepherd from Tekoa, a small town in Judah, and was called by God to prophesy against the northern kingdom of Israel.

This was a warning that God would no longer speak to his people because of their disobedience and lack of repentance. This famine of the word of God was a punishment for the people's neglect of God's laws and their disregard for his prophets. Amos' message was a call to repentance and a plea for the people to turn back to God before it was too late. In summary, the prophet Amos recorded a famine of the word of God in the Old Testament, in which God warned that he would no longer speak to his people because of their disobedience and lack of repentance.

Détails de la réponse

The correct answer is: "They willfully sinned against God." Hosea was a prophet in the Old Testament who was sent by God to speak to the Israelites. During Hosea's time, the Israelites had turned away from God and were worshiping false gods.

Despite God's love and care for them, the Israelites chose to willfully sin against God, breaking His laws and commands. They had become unfaithful, like an unfaithful spouse, and their actions had consequences. Hosea's message to the Israelites was that they needed to repent and turn back to God before it was too late.

This idea is found in the New Testament of the Bible, specifically in Luke 9:23-24 where Jesus tells his disciples that if anyone wants to be his follower, they must deny themselves and take up their cross daily, and follow him.

Which comes first:- Power, then the Holy Ghost or Holy Ghost then power?

Détails de la réponse

In Christianity, the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit is believed to be a part of the Holy Trinity along with God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son. The Holy Spirit is often associated with power, as it is believed to empower believers to do the work of God. To answer the question, it is important to note that the Holy Ghost and power are often intertwined and difficult to separate. In the Bible, the Holy Spirit is described as the source of power and strength for believers. In Acts 1:8, Jesus told his disciples, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." This passage suggests that the Holy Ghost and power come together, as the Holy Spirit brings power to those who receive it. However, in some cases, individuals may experience the power of God before receiving the Holy Ghost. For example, in Acts 10:44-46, the Holy Ghost fell upon Gentiles who had not yet been baptized, but they spoke in tongues and praised God. In summary, while the Holy Ghost and power are often linked, there is no set order in which they must be received. It is important to seek the presence of the Holy Spirit and trust in God's power to work in and through us. The power of salvation also comes through faith in Jesus Christ, and is another important aspect of the Christian faith.

Which of there 3 sinners did God course first after the eating of the forbidden fruit ?

Détails de la réponse

After the eating of the forbidden fruit, God first cursed the serpent before addressing Adam and Eve. The reason for this is that the serpent was the one who deceived Eve into eating the fruit in the first place. In Genesis 3:14-15, God curses the serpent, saying, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." After addressing the serpent, God then turns to Adam and Eve and holds them accountable for their actions. This is evident in Genesis 3:16-19, where God speaks to Eve and Adam, respectively, about the consequences of their disobedience. So in summary, God first cursed the serpent, who was the one responsible for deceiving Eve and leading her and Adam into sin. Then, God turned to Adam and Eve and held them accountable for their actions.

Whose sudden death of brought a turnaround in the life of obed-edom the Gittite?

Détails de la réponse

The sudden death that brought a turnaround in the life of Obed-Edom the Gittite was Uzzah's death. Uzzah was a Levite who was transporting the Ark of the Covenant on an ox cart to Jerusalem when the oxen stumbled, and the ark shook. Uzzah instinctively reached out to steady the ark, and God struck him dead for touching it. After this incident, King David was afraid to bring the ark into Jerusalem, so he left it at the house of Obed-Edom, the Gittite. However, instead of being cursed by the presence of the ark, Obed-Edom was blessed. The Bible tells us that the Lord blessed Obed-Edom and all his household. When King David heard about the blessings that came upon Obed-Edom because of the presence of the ark, he decided to bring it to Jerusalem. This time, they carried it on the shoulders of the Levites, as God had commanded, and with great rejoicing. The sudden death of Uzzah and the blessings that came upon Obed-Edom were a demonstration of the holiness of God and the importance of following His commands. It also showed that God blesses those who honor and respect His presence.
