Act 1:23 And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.
Act 1:24 And they prayed and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen
Act 1:25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place."
Act 1:26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. (ESV)
I believe this is a denominational trait and not a Biblical principal.

sorry if i mistook this site for somewhere to ask if killing is wrong.. i thought it said somewhere in the bible we are not supposed to kill anything and that would include those things that creepth the earth. I wanted to find out. I dont enjoy killing bugs. or rodents... and if i knew more about the bible i wouldnt need to ask a website, thats why i asked if i should keep with the nontoxic slow method or kill them outright i really do not think a pest control specialist (someone who kills for a living) is the right person to ask if it is right with God to kill bugs and mice. If you think i am foolish to ask about killing stuff then go ahead and judge me as you have, I really thought i was asking a legitimate question that could be answered in the bible, I admit i know little about scripture but I believe when i asked for a everyday worded explaination and the scripture the everyday words were derived from, I am 99.9 percent sure that "CALL A PEST CONTROL SPECIALIST and Gen 1:28 do not have the same message. i say 99.9 because i do not understand what Gen 1:28 is saying. So maybe they do say the same thing. it's been made clear not to ask here |

Hello mamametal,
This is a Study Bible Forum, not and domestic advice forum! Call a Pest Contol specialist!
Gen. 1:28 "God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth." (NASB)

Your specific example is very good but at the same time kind of extreme. There isn't a definitive answer to that example on the grounds it doesn't say in scripture when any of the Apostles were saved as we know it.
But your more general note of the average struggling believer.
I would say "NO" These verses speak pretty clearly Php 1:6 - Heb 7:25

Greetings Beja!
Good point! :-)
Another thought that I have had over the years is that many of the crowns are different ways of describing the same thing - salvation.
As I have looked at these passages, I can really only see two distinct crowns, the Crown of life and the Martyr's crown.
Personally, I believe that all of the 'other' crowns are just different ways of saying crown of life.

Greetings CDBJ!
Actually, the Gospel of John records that the grave clothes were folded and neatly placed in the tomb.
Joh 20:6 Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 20:7 as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus' head. The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen.

Greetings Singlelady!
Scripture gives very clear instructions concerning the gift of tongues and it's role in public worship.
1Co 14:26 What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church.
1Co 14:27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two--or at the most three--should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret.
1Co 14:28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God.
1Co 14:29 Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.
1Co 14:30 And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop.
1Co 14:31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.
1Co 14:32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets.
I hope this helps!

Should I leave, or stay? |

Beja |

justme,
For lack of writing skills allow me to use numbers to organize my thoughts.
1.) You wrote that in 1 Cor 7:10-11 the situation of if the wife should happen to leave. From there you conclude that there are therefore reasons that the wife would leave. Lets examine the verses.
1Co 7:10 But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband
1Co 7:11 (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife.
So these verses start with a very clear command that the wife is to not leave. It then says that if she should do that thing which he just commanded not to do, then she is not to get remmarried. This does not at all look like it is giving circumstance in which the wife may leave. I think to infer from this passage that there must be reasons a wife can leave, and from there to make the remarkable leap that we should as you said "With that in mind examine a reason a Christian wife would want to seperate from her husband" is quite simply an abuse of the text.
2.) You ask if I know anywhere in scripture that permits a husband to do such things. Absolutely not, nor have I argued any such thing. The question is not at all whether a husband should do things like this. The question is what should a believing wife do in response.
3.) So, that leads us to the third point. Can I provide scripture to support the notion that a spouse is to remain with a husband that is acting in an ungodly way? Yes I can.
1Pe 3:1,2 In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior.
It says that wives "in the same way." In the same way as what? Well, we have two options. Previously it has discussed slaves being submissive to masters who are being unreasonable towards them. But, the even closer context is Peter discussing how Christ willingly submitted to wicked men for the sake of bringing salvation. So the context is that wives, just as Christ suffered in ways He didn't deserve, and submitted himself willingly to this, so also wives are to submit to husbands, even ones who are "disobediant to the word." Why? So that through their willing and submissive sufferings they may be converted by the wife's conduct. So yes, I can very much provide scripture to support the wife staying with a husband who is being quite ungodly.
So, since this is the clear testimony of scripture, I personally would want a very good scriptural reason to contradict it in counseling a woman. So I ask, what scriptural support do you have to simply give a wife permission to leave her husband? I take no joy in asking a wife to endure such a thing. It is truely a horrific thought. But dare I contradict scripture?
The question of a ministers responsibility under such circumstances isn't really under discussion. The question simply being what does God expect of the wife?

Beja 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 Paul is addressing in verse 11 the part if a spouse leaves. There are reasons a wife would leave. Paul clearly stresses for separated partners to be reconciled. With that in mind examine a reason a christian wife would want to separate from her husband. This would be under the assumption her husband was a christian. There is no Scripture that says a husband or wife must stay living under the same roof with an abusive, drunken, unsafe, spouse.
Can you support Scripture saying a spouse is allowed to be abusive to the other partner?
I say this with respect and kindness Beja. In my ministry I have seen far too many wives submit to husbands who demanded "Biblical Submition". These men were not examples of a christian husband in any way. Those abusive husbands demanding submition, were involved in drunkeness, drug addictions, and physical abuse to the point of endangering the entire family. Wives and children have endured sexual violence and trauma that have life long physical, emotional and spiritual damage.
I know of no place in the Bible that condemns a wife or children to such hell on earth.
If anyone thinks a minister can be aware of abuse and not report it to the proper authorities, then they are in violation of the laws of our land. Slavery was outlawed in the nineteenth century. I am dogmatic on these points. Blessings.

Dear Pastor Beja,
I agree with you completely. I also think believers more or less have got some of the "crowns" in this life. (Psalm 103:4, Gal 5:22-23 and Jesus' teaching of the beatitudes)

Just my opinion on the crowns. I think we've sorely missed the type of language used on these. Are we suggesting that we are going to have a large hat wardrobe in heaven? Shall we coordinate and all decide that today is the crown of rejoicing day, and another day we shall wear our crown of life? Honestly I think we've missed the point. The crown of life, is not a crown, it is life. The notion of crown is a metaphor. The crown is the thing itself. When God says He will give us the crown of life, he means that He will give us the reward of life. When He gives us the crown of righteousness He is saying to give us righteousness. A crown is a metaphor for the thing itself. So with this in mind, we are not going to throw down our righteousness, our life, and our rejoicing literally at the feet of Jesus. IF we wish to say that is what the 24 elders in Revelations represents (which I don't agree with) then at the very least we should say it is a complete acknowledging that all these things are from God alone and not ourselves, certainly not literally throwing down a wardrobe of crowns. Again, just my interpretation of the passages. This certainly is not an issue worth dividing anybody. But I highly encourage anybody interested to look at the verse references that have been giving and see if you don't agree.
In Christ, Beja |

Randy Alcorn states:
At least five different crowns are given as heavenly rewards: the crown of life (James 1:12; Rev. 2:10), the incorruptible crown (1 Cor. 9:24, 25), crown of rejoicing (1 Thes. 2:19; Phil. 4:1), crown of glory (1 Pet. 5:1-4), and crown of righteousness (2 Tim. 4:6-8).
The crowns may relate to positions of ruling in heaven (Luke 19:17; Rev. 2:26-28), but in any case they are lasting reminders of our work on earth, and Christ’s faithfulness in enabling us to do that work. Ultimately these crowns put at Christ’s feet, to recognize him (Rev. 4:10). Our rewards are given not merely for our recognition, but for God’s eternal glory. However, Scripture sees no contradiction whatsoever between God’s eternal glory and our eternal good.

P.in T. First and foremost, if your husband is a habitual drinker than he is no doubt an alchololic and needs a healthy wake-up call as to how his behavior is hurting himself, you and any family he has. The drinking problem is not easily resolved but a life-long self-destructive way of dealing with life issues. Confronting him directly at this time may not be able to be done by yourself. Perhaps your Pastor could help you in talking with him? Confronting him with love and compassion about his drinking and violence may not only save your marriage but also his life and yours.
If you fear for your saftey you need to leave. Scripture says we are to obey the laws of the land in which we live. If you are being abused and fear for your well being, leave. Your husband's problems need to be addressed openly for any change to occur. You have the healthy and rightful expectation to be free from abuse.
This is not to say you should divorce your husband. Unless he is willing to change, he is forcing you to seek distance for your own safety. By giving your husband consequences for unexceptable conduct, you will give him notice that you have standards that he must achieve, or he will remain alone, without you.
Should your husband hit you, call the authorities and have him removed from you home. Jail has a way of getting the attention of a person, and allowing him time to think things over.
May I suggest you read Ephesians 5. Your husband is to love you as Christ does the Church. To submit to your husband does not mean for you to be a door matt, or to be the dog to kick.
Read Ephesians 6:10-18. You are standing against the "evil-one". I encourage you to involve your pastor and see if there could be some assistance in counseling, and some place to stay if it becomes where you need to get a safe place to stay.
Everything I suggest is with the hope your husband will surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ. Pray and bathe yourself in the Holy Word of God. Remember with God all things are possible. Be willing to forgive, but beware of him trying to win you back with words only. Be strong in the Lord. Blessings.

Hello breaddown,
Esther 2:12 reads, "Now when the turn of each young lady came to go in to King Ahasuerus, after the end of her twelve months under the regulations for the women--for the days of their beautification were completed as follows: six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and the cosmetics for women--"(NASB)
According to the Bible Knowledge Commentary, "Esther was not in a beauty contest simply to win the king’s affections; the women were being prepared to have sexual relations with the king. This is suggested by the words (Vs. 14) in the evening she would go there and in the morning return."
I think vs. 10 answers the second part of your question, "Esther did not make known her people or her kindred, for Mordecai had instructed her that she should not make them known." (NASB)
I hope this helps,

Warren Wiersbe explains it like this in The Bible Exposition Commentary
Some Bible students see this whole enterprise as an empire-wide "beauty contest" and Esther as a contestant who probably shouldn't have entered. They also assert that Mordecai encouraged her because he wanted to have a Jew in a place of influence in the empire in case there was trouble. Perhaps that interpretation is true. However, other students feel that the women were not volunteers but were selected and assembled by the king's special officers. The girls were not kidnapped, but everybody knew that the will of an Eastern monarch could not successfully be opposed. In this case I don't think we should condemn Esther for what happened to her since these circumstances were, for the most part, out of her control; and God did not overrule them for the good of her people.
-
Each night, a new maiden was brought to the king; and in the morning, she was sent to the house of the concubines, never again to be with the king unless he remembered her and called for her. Such unbridled sensuality eventually would have so bored Ahasuerus that he was probably unable to distinguish one maiden from another. This was not love. It was faceless, anonymous lust that craved more and more; and the more the king indulged, the less he was satisfied.
Esther had won the favor of everybody who saw her; and when the king saw her, he responded to her with greater enthusiasm than he had to any of the other women. At last he had found someone to replace Vashti! The phrase "the king loved Esther" (kjv) must not be interpreted to mean that Ahasuerus had suddenly fallen in love with Esther with pure and devoted affection. The niv rendering is best: "Now the king was attracted to Esther more than to any of the other women" (v. 17). This response was from the Lord who wanted Esther in the royal palace where she could intercede for her people. "Known to God from eternity are all His works" (Acts 15:18, nkjv).

was the devil an angel first in heaven? |

Ezek 28:12 |

Satan’s original state. Ezekiel 28:12-15 describes Satan prior to his fall. He enjoyed an exalted position in the presence of God; the brilliance of heaven was his surrounding (28:13). He was called the “anointed…covering cherub” who enjoyed the position of highest honor before God (28:14, 16). Isaiah refers to this supreme angel as “star of the morning (KJV Lucifer; NIV morning star), son of the dawn” (14:12). After he became God’s chief adversary (Heb. Satan) he is never again called by any of these honorable titles. But in his prefall splendor he was filled with wisdom and beauty, and he was blameless (Ezek. 28:12, 15).
Satan’s fall. Satan’s fall is described in both Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14. Because of his sin Satan was cast from the presence of God (Ezek. 28:16). The reason for Satan’s downfall was his pride; his heart was lifted up because of his beauty, and his wisdom became corrupt (28:17). The statement indicates Satan must have had extraordinarily high rank that led to his pride. Isaiah 14:12-14 further describes the sin that led to his downfall. Five “I will’s” emphasize his sin (14:13-14). He desired to enter the very presence of God and establish his throne on God’s throne above the other angels. He wanted to be like the “Most High.” For that reason God thrust him down out of heaven.
