as Herald said, it was on the day of Pentecost which was a celebration held 50 days after the passover had ended. I'd agree that the apostles had holy spirit before that time though, because they were performing miracles by that spirit....but i would say that they were not 'annointed' with...

John 14:26 shows that the holy spirit will help us by 'bringing back to our minds all the things' Jesus told us. Now, if a christian has not read about the things Jesus has taught, how will the holy spirit be able to help that person if they are in the situation where they dont have access to...

God has never since asked anyone to sacrifice their child, so basically what you are saying is that because none of us have been asked to do such a thing, we can never know the sacrifice that God made. I dont beleive that at all. As a parent myself I can have some idea of the sacrifice God...

you realise thought that when the kingdom of Isreal became divided and was split in two by God, the 10 tribe kingdom of unfaithful Isrealites became known as the 'kingdom of Isreal' while the faithful Isrealites was the 'Kingdom of Judah' Any prophecies about the 'kingdom of Isreal' are only to...

What did jesus say earlier in John 16:7, 8, 14 "7 Nevertheless, I am telling YOU the truth, It is for YOUR benefit I am going away. For if I do not go away, the helper will by no means come to YOU; but if I do go my way, I will send him to YOU. 8 And when that one arrives he will give the world...

1 John 4:9,10 Romans 5:8 Jesus sacrifice shows us the extent of Gods love....there is nothing he wouldnt give, not even his only begotten son, in order to prove his love for us. God has shown us exactly how difficult such a thing was by asking Abraham to sacrifice his only begotten son. And...

Ephesians 6:17 Revelation 1:2 Revelation 1:10-11 2 Peter 1:20, 21 2 Tim. 3:16, 17 The bible is fully capable of answering all questions and responding to all claims for it is the word of God....its the method he chose in communicating with us and we do well to respect it for what it is.

Right, so faith comes before recieving Gods mercy....its just as Jesus said it would be, "all those exercising faith in me will have everlasting life" No one is justified unless they have 'endured till the end' It is wrong to think that once saved always saved ( that is also a common...

then the question must be asked 'why doesnt he help them'? Isreal of ancient times did not need the help of foreign neighbours to assist them in their battles. They had God fight for them and they were always victorious. Yet the isreal of today is getting military support from America rather...

Yes i agree that both gentile and jew are both depending on Gods mercy, but his mercy is only freely given to those who make a conscious decision to love and obey his son Jesus. Any Jew (isrealite) who turn to Christ and put faith in him will have the same opportunity for salvation as we...

To say that works will not save a person is true because salvation is by 'faith' in Jesus as Romans 3:26 tells us. However, a person with faith would produce the 'fruits of faith', these are good works. They are a result of coming to know God, developing faith and living in harmony with the...

Does his son not deserve to be the next king? I think thats what you are asking(?) This account describes the breakup of the kingdom of Isreal at Gods direction. Solomon had turned to false gods and because of that God had decided to keep only the tribe of Judah & Benjamine (Davids tribe) as...

Acts 10:34-35 To your thread title, no, God is not partial. To be partial means to favor one over another and the fact that he views all men & women and all nations equal, then he is not partial. Acts 17:26 to your 2nd question, Yes, he does judge rightly for he sees into the very heart and...

Well i certainly have no plans of flying over to jerusalem to stand on mount zion in the hope that I might be one of the daughters of zion and I doubt that the worlds population of christians would even fit on mount zion. Why would God put such an impossible requirement on Jesus diciples...how...

I dont think the gentiles forsook God...anyone who is not a natural born jew is a gentile and by far the majority of christians are in fact gentiles. So how could it be said that the gentiles forsook God?

Jesus gave adultery as the only reason for divorce according to Matthew 5:31-32 Malachi 2:13-16 shows us quite adequately that divorce is something that God 'hates' If you look at Jesus words about divorce, he showed us Gods viewpoint when he was questioned about why Moses gave the...

Im sorry to say, but John the baptist did have the scirptures....He was able to quote from the Hebrew scriptures and even knew to apply the prophecy of Isaiah to himself. Isaiah 40:3-5 Back then then the word of God was the Hebrew scriptures. Im happy for you that you have expriences, but my...

well i'm not of the 144,000 so where will I be?

Again, as i keep pointing out to Jiggfly, this was only AFTER they had recieved knowledge of Christ. They were johns diciples, not Jesus. They didnt know jesus and didnt know anything about Jesus....they lacked accurate knowledge and this is why they had no idea of what the holy spirit was...

We dont need to speculate on anything. You only need to read the scriptures and you'll get the full picturre. Those diciples were baptised under Johns baptism. John was a preacher who called people to repent "for the kingdom of God was near" Matthew 3:1-2. Many people openly confessed their sins...
