JESUS IS A COMMON NAME IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE WORLD, BUT NOT IN OTHERS. For Those Who Have Come To Know Lord Jesus Christ, He Is Very Real. Those who have no idea of what it means to have a relationship with Lord Jesus Christ ask ignorant questions.

Does anyone, truly, believe in "Jesus"?

Does anyone believe, here, in Jesus..as a "profesor"..(of faith)...does anyone agree with this question

Why would anyone believe in Jesus? Who is Jesus? In Spanish speaking countries Jesus is a common name.

If we regard believing in something as accepting something as true, would not believing in Jesus be merely accepting that Jesus is true.

The preposition “in” means to be surrounded by something. Hence I live in the world, but I do not live in the Earth. Instead, I live on the Earth. The world we cannot see, yet we see parts of what we perceive to be the world. The Earth we can see, because we stand on it. When we dig into the Earth, we dig up the ground below us, which may be sand, soil, clay, or rocks.

When talking about the world, we speak about not only of one, but different worlds. There is the world of imagination and there is the world that we believe is real, because this consists of the people to whom we relate and objects we encounter to which we attribute significance. The world some people experience is rich with fine dining, luxurious living, much mobility (by air, land and sea), technology and all manner of sensual experiences. Other people live in a world of squalor and darkness; the only thing they seek is their next drink for they are unable to comprehend anything of beauty or worth.

Actually we do not need to be homeless alcoholics to not appreciate the beauty of the world in which we live. For the morning after I became a Christian, as I walked out into the street, I noticed the plants, the trees and the sky; they had become alive. Everything seemed new. This is what happens when when people truly meet Lord Jesus Christ. I am not the only one who knows this, other people have expressed having the same experience of all things being made new.

A world of darkness exists in the minds of man people, only like the philosopher Nietzsche, all they can find is there no hope of anything better.

SATAN DEFEATS GOD AND THE WORLD BEGINS TO SELF DESTRUCT. What Hope Would People Have, For It Would Be Like Being Born Only To Die And Know Suffering When Alive. Sometimes people imagine things are not what they are, not recognizing their own futility.

What would the world be like if Satan somehow defeated God?

How would he rule the universe?

Harry Riches · Answer requested by Ian Kent

Firstly, Satan could never defeat God. Secondly, you can see how much evil is in the world today, so just imagine what it going to be like when Satan is in control—this will probably happen in about twenty years. Thirdly, why would you entertain such a question.

There Is A Better Way To Seek Purpose In Life Than Merely Creating Impossible Scenarios

SOME COMMANDMENTS ARE EASIER THAN OTHERS TO FOLLOW, ACCORDING TO SOME PEOPLE. And They May Well Be Right, Because Much Depends Upon What An Individual Finds Easiest To Break. We are all individuals who are raised in different environments and certain sins are more acceptable than other sins.

Which of 10 commandments is more difficult to follow?

Harry Riches Answer requested by Anonymous

The Ten Commandments are predicated upon God's desire to relate to His Creation without violation of individual rights. Is the person’s desire to know the truth? Is the person’s desire to know God? Is the person's desire to be righteous in every interaction with other individuals.

Many people think, wrongly, that the Ten Commandments are something to be followed. The Ten Commandments are a standard of measurement. They are the ruler for measuring morality. Nobody follows a measuring standard. A standard of measure is usually something that is used to measure something that has happened; something that exists. For example, after a person has jumped in a competition, a ruler is then used to see how far the person has jumped. The length of the jump exists.

The Ten Commandments measure our lives. The Ten Commandments measure what we have done in our lives and whether our path was a straight path. The Ten Commandments then tell us whether we have walked in the way of righteousness or whether we have wandered off towards corruption. Once a person’s morality has been corrupted, this is absolute corruption. There is no such thing as being partly corrupted, like some fruit where the rotten portion can be cut out and the rest is still good.

In the Bible we read about walking the straight path. Those who walk off the straight path, do so because they are following the Evil One.

• In all your ways acknowledge [the Lord God], and he will make straight your paths. (Proverbs 3:6)
• For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.”(Matthew 3:3)
• But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at [the false prophet El′ymas the magician] and said, “You son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and villainy, will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord? (Acts 13:9-11)

When a child is conceived, this is the result of a spermatozoon beating other spermatozoa to the prize. Then the amazing work of development takes place from conception to birth. From birth a child heads towards eternity. The child begins its life in this world looking at the path of morality that leads straight to eternal life, providing the child (during childhood and adulthood) does not deviate from the straight path. When we deviate, we have to jump the fence. Unfortunately, once the fence has been jumped, there is no way to jump back because of the greater height on the dark side. Our only hope is someone is able  to open a door (gate) for us, that leads to a stairway (to Heaven, so to speak) and enables us to return to where were originally meant to be.

The Son of God is the only person who has been able to open the door for us.

• “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber; but he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens; the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” This figure Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not heed them. I am the door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. (John 10:1–9)

If our desire is not to know the truth; if our desire is not to know our Creator; if our Desire is for evil at any time; we cannot walk the straight path. The Ten Commandments will be used to identify the point in our life that we decided to jump the fence and not walk the path of righteousness because, rather than the voice of God, we desired to heed a different voice; the voice that belongs to the god of this world and obey his will to do evil.

The only way for us to get back onto the right path is if the door to the pathway is opened to us and we are willing to humble ourselves and enter life through the gift bequeathed to us by Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. This requires us to respond to His voice and begin following Him. Following the Son of God is not following the Ten Commandments. However, if we do not understand the Ten Commandments, we will not understand the wiles of the Evil One when they are presented to us. Nor what it means to change our unrighteous ways and exercise faith towards God.

The Ten Commandments Cover More And Are Much Deeper Than People Realize

ORIGINAL TEN COMMANDMENTS IN ETHIOPIA. At Least This Is The Claim That Has Been Made. Like all things, unless proven conclusively, we can never be sure that this is the case.

If the Box containing the ten commandments is now somewhere in Ethopia, why do not the Jews claim It and take It to lsrael?

Harry Riches,Answer requested by Mwanjuzi Tonny

Assuming you are talking about a box that contains the original tablets on which God wrote the Ten Commandments, maybe the Jews do not believe that this is the case. Although, it would be interesting to analyse the original tablets to see what language was used and whether they were finely written and the imprint of the Finger of God left.

The Jews do not seem to be very interested in artifacts at Jabal al Lawz, either. The evidence of the Red Sea Crossing of the Exodus from Egypt and the Mountain of God is overwhelming from an archaeological perspective. Likewise there is a lack of interest when it comes to the Noah’s Ark site in Turkey.

What this means is that their may be another agenda that has a priority. The nation of Israel consists of people who are atheists, Zionists and homosexuals, on one side of the spectrum, and religious orthodox Jews, who uphold the Torah, on the other side of the spectrum, and are opposed to those on the left.

SATANIC VERSES ARE FOUND IN THE BIBLE IF NOT THE KING JAMES. Amazingly Some People Actually Think That King James English Is The Only Language The God Of The Universe Can Speak. Yet when we read the Bible we will learn that God separated the nations into seventy language groups.

Question for King James Onlyists: How is it that other versions of the Bible are Satanic?

Harry Riches —Answer requested by Brendan Francis McClelland

People who claim to be King James Only actually commit the sin of bibliolatry, which occurs when people put the written words of the Bible before a personal relationship with the Lord Creator of the Universe.

Jesus clearly pointed this out when speaking to those who revered the written word above the Living Word. Below we have three versions. Notice the difference in the King James Version (KJV). The first two versions are clearer than the King James Version and clearly point to the fact that people commit the sin of bibliolatry, by trusting in the Scriptures—and refusing to come to Lord Jesus, so that they may be saved from death and have eternal life.

• You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life. (John 5:39–40 NASB)
• You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. (John 5:39–40 ESV)
• Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. (John 5:39–40 KJV)

Many people mistake the words “search the Scriptures” as meaning this is what is required for salvation. In some congregations the act of searching the Scriptures for salvation is promoted dogmatically, as are some of their other doctrines to the exclusion of the necessity of having an actual relationship with the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

One Calvinist told me that what Jesus said (as quoted above from the ESV) means that we have to study Calvinism, in particular, the doctrines of Total Depravity, Unconditional Election Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace and Perseverance of the Saints (TULIP).

Another person went to the trouble of placing on his website a defense of the reasons why he uses the King James Bible after we had a discussion concerning the inability of the King James Bible per se to actually save people, and how I gave reading the Bible away because of the difficulty I had as a twelve year old reading it. Even when I read from Genesis to Job in the Living Bible, I was not saved because I did not know Lord Jesus Christ. When I met Lord Jesus, He gave me the assurance of eternal life: the joy of salvation.

• But they say, ‘That is in vain! We will follow our own plans, and will every one act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.” (Jeremiah 18:12)

Bibliolatry is an act that is satanic; for this is a form of idolatry, which is condemned by the Lord God. Stubbornness is also the same as idolatry and witchcraft is the same as rebellion before the Lord God.

• For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord. (1 Samuel 15:23)

Whatever points people to Lord Jesus Christ is not satanic. Anything that becomes a stumbling block is satanic. Once a person knows Lord Jesus Christ, any Bible will suffice as long as it contains truth, although the more literal the translation from the Greek or the Hebrew, the better. The King James is considered a literal translation. But putting it before a personal relationship with Lord Jesus Christ is bibliolatry.

Yet The Only Words Written By The Finger Of God Are Ignored By The Ignorant

AUTOPSIES ARE NOT ALWAYS CARRIED OUT WHEN PEOPLE DIE. An Autopsy Is A Modern Means Of Determining Death. Back in the days of the Roman Empire, nobody was doing autopsies, pronouncing

Does Bible says anything about autopsy?

How do Christians view autopsy? Does a christian doctor freely do autopsy? Is there any bible verses we can use for our base?

Harry Riches Answer requested by Abraham Hanan

Under the Mosaic Covenant, an autopsy would be not be impossible, but the person touching the dead body would be unclean for seven days.

• He who touches the dead body of any person shall be unclean seven days.(Numbers 19:11)

Some people may think that the prohibition to make markings on one’s body might also prevent an autopsy.

• You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh on account of the dead or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the Lord. (Leviticus 19:28)

The prohibition regarding cutting one’s body concerns the dead. Tattoos on behalf of the dead are not permitted, nor is scarring. Scarring obviously requires cuts, whereas tattooing can be done with needles and pigment. However, even tattooing appears to have the same consideration as scarring because the needle has to penetrate the skin.

The difference between the Mosaic Covenant and the Kingdom of God: the former has to do with this Earth; the latter has to do with eternity.

When Jesus spoke about leaving the dead to bury the dead, this has to be understood in the context of God’s purpose.

• But he said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:60

The purpose of God is to call all men to a better hope other than merely being born to die. However, the prohibitions that were associated with the Mosaic Covenant are of no effect today—but this does not include the moral covenant of the Ten Commandments written by God’s Own Finger (Exodus 31:18).

Now the Kingdom of God is proclaimed and the message is that God’s grace is sufficient for us to exercise faith in the resurrection; for the requirements of the Mosaic covenant were of no effect; merely being a body of knowledge that provided instruction about salvation. Therefore, what medical science has to offer, and what the individual government authorities of the world may require, have no effect upon the born again believer, unless the believer is being forced to deny Lord Jesus Christ or transgress the commandments of God.

• No one who denies the Son has the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also. Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is what he has promised us, eternal life. (1 John 2:23–25)
• And by this we may be sure that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He who says “I know him” but disobeys his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (1 John 2:3–4)

From a New Testament perspective, the Mosaic Covenant is not required to be kept. The Mosaic Covenant is different from the only words written by the Finger of God. These the Christian is now capable of keeping because they ought to be second nature to a person who has been baptized in the Holy Spirit.

The moral code is separate to the Mosaic Covenant (or Code), because it applies to everyone. The Mosaic Covenant only applied to those who had been rescued from Egypt and their descendants according to the flesh up until the time of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Since Pentecost, the New Covenant of life in the Spirit of God has been instituted.

Those who perform autopsies are seeking to establish reasons for a person’s death, for human governmental purposes that have to do with this world; it is difficult to see how this affects a Christian.

The Apostle Paul does say that Christians are to be subject to human government (Romans 13:11).This comes with the proviso that Lord Jesus Christ is not denied and moral law of God is not contravened.
