In the Old Testament, God has always regulated His worship. Under the old covenant, mechanical instruments were part of the old covenant worship. They also accompanied animal sacrifices and they were part of the old law system. In Numbers 10:10 and 2 Chronicles 29:20-36, they were associated...

The original poster covered the scriptures, no need to repeat them. . In 1 Thessalonians 5:21 the Bible says that we are to “test all things; hold fast that which is good.” When we go to the Bible, we cannot just assume that God is going to like what we give Him. You just presume that, well...

Hi, I am in agreement with you and you posted scripture to prove instrumental music is not authorized in the NT Church. God has specified vocal music. God has done that through command, God has done that through all the different examples that you have posted.... And there's not a single...

Yes, the context makes Romans 9:13 clearer....it would be easy when taken out of context to take it in literal terms as I was. I did not make the connection to the "nations" and once the chapters and versus were connected understand God was speaking about nations and not individuals. I was...

This is what I found in reference to Malachi... Was not Esau Jacob's brother?—Have I not shown a greater partiality to the Israelites than I have to the Edomites? I loved Jacob—My love to Jacob has been proved by giving him greater privileges and a better inheritance than what I have given to...

Thank you for your responses, they were appreciated. Translation is important here as Poppin posted regarding the word "hate." I think where I was going here was if God knew before Esau was born and His disapproval for his actions, are we doomed because God "foreknew" Esau's weakness and...

I have trouble with this scripture and not to doubt God's Word would like some insight into why this scripture was written and if God truly does hate, prior to one even being born. Does He hate all sinners that He does not approve or disapprove prior to conception or birth? Romans 9:13 (KJV)...

Hi Poppin, Sorry about the previous post, I am learning how to "multi-quote" and the more I tried to fix it, well you can see for yourself. <_< I will try and answer your questions here...I have to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. If I don't than I will be separated from God for...

Hi Ephesians 2:8 (KJV) 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: The Gentiles and the Jews are saved by grace, the favor and mercy of God. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, saving both by grace through faith in Jesus Christ...

How are you saved if you do not do anything prior to being saved?

And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.' Acts 22:16 (NKJV) After Saul was presented with that bright light, and after having scales on his eyes so that he could not see, he recognized that he had been doing wrong, so don’t...

Willemac, I do not in a "work based" salvation. Maybe I should have put it in simpler terms...obey the gospel and be baptized for the remission of sins. If you love God, keep His commandments.

How can you deny what the bible teaches and of Paul's conversion which is written? Acts 22:16 (KJV) 16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

Baptism is not an option or what what thinks or believes. It is a command and essential for salvation... John 3:5-7 (KJV) 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the...

It is a contradiction to believe in God and not His inspired Word. A stumbling block is putting our faith in the uninspired books of men. There have been a lot of books written by men on salvation, Christian living, how to worship God, etc. But there is only one book that we have to follow in...

I answered no to all three questions..first, ask if we really being faithful to God every day and is my life really being lived faithfully? In Luke 9:23, Jesus said this, If any man desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow me. Living a faithful life...
