I am the girl with a million questions! No really, it's true.

If none of you would mind. I would like to get this off my chest. If possible hear scripture supported answers and maybe your own personal view.

-Is abortion wrong?
-Is drinking a sin, or is it just unwise?
-As a man, was Jesus capible of error?
-Is technology evil?
-How old is the earth?
-How am I important to God?
-What did you have for breakfast? (lol)

I think I know the answer to these, and have seen some scriptual back up. I would like to be refreshed though, and hear what you guys have to say! ^_^

Thank You and God Bless!

Yes it is wrong! Why?...

Deuteronomy 5:17
Thou shalt not kill.

Matthew 5:21
Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

It is not a sin to drink but it is a sin to be a drunkard..meaning to be drunk. But the true question is how do you know when you become a drunkard when you drink? In my opinion because eveyones body is different it is best to leave the booze alone.

Proverbs 23:21
For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

1 Corinthians 5:11
But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

1 Corinthians 6:10
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Good question...I am going to say yes he was capable of error because he was in the flesh but he never sinned.

Luke 23


40But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

I dont know...and I dont think the bible says anything about technology....I guess it depends on what you use it for really.

haha ask God

Genesis 1
1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Very Important so important that he...

Roman 3:16
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life
Pretty darn important!

and I dont remeber what i had for breakfast I think it was chocolate..

Hope I was helpful

^ Lol, thank you JesusReignsForever.

My own personal views. Yes, I believe direct abortion is wrong. When the intent is to kill the unborn baby. Because God created us in the womb, he knew who we were before we were even born in this world. We are all unique in his eyes.
If Jesus says drinking is unwise, it's best to take his word for it. Never drank, never will. And that prevents the chance completely of me becoming drunk.
I once read in an article that Jesus was man just as much as he was God. He was tempted to sin, but never did.
God doesn't want us to become to attached to this world. It's not evil, but never become envious of what others have. And don't put things above God. In that verse I once read ''There will be no Gods before me'' I also remember that those who followed Moses worshiped idols. *gasps*
I don't believe the world was created billions of years ago. Your right only God knows the real answer. My guess from what I have learned would be about 6,000 years.
God sees us as important or he wouldn't have sent his son to die for us.

I have already made up my mind, but I ask these questions anyway because I am interested in hearing what you have to say. I'm also interested in scriptural support. JesusReignsForever seems to have provided that. If you have anymore information, please post it!

I don't have scriptures, as I'm tired, but I do have the standard, watered down Christian view (as well as personal opinion found in teachings) to make life easy for ya:

-Is abortion wrong?

Yes. God made us in his image, and to destroy something made in God's image is to destroy something Holy and Amazing. Abortion is a big no no.

-Is drinking a sin, or is it just unwise?

Drinking isn't a sin as such. Everyone's allowed to enjoy alcohol (in moderation). However, you have drunk too much when you are no longer about to focus on the glory of God.

-As a man, was Jesus capible of error?

Jesus was a man like you are I, so yes, he was fully capable of sin and error, but he never committed either, because he was God.

-Is technology evil?

Technology could be evil, so we must be careful of what we use and how we use it. However, using technology can be of benefits of us, so let's not look into it like "The Devil is spawning from our HD plasma screens!" and just enjoy the things we have, so long as we enjoy them in a Godly way.

-How old is the earth?

Scientists estimate billions of years, but the bible hints at roughly 6,000 years. I'm going to be conservative and say somewhere between the two :-)

-How am I important to God?

Read John 3:16 - "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son to die so that we shall not perish but have eternal life".

I'd say pretty darn important!

-What did you have for breakfast?

Didn't. I only woke up at 2 p.m. Ha ha.

Hope this helped. God Bless.

Hi Mary, Don't ever stop asking questions! May I please give you my views...

I think abortion is wrong, it is murdering an innocent person. God says that we are not to murder and that we are to protect the innocent.

Drinking is not a sin, but we are instructed not to be drunk. Personally, it is a testimony issue. Alcohol serves no purpose and is associated with evil and darkness. The Bible says we should stay away from all appearance of evil. I use to drink, but have had no desire for it since God saved me.

Was Jesus capable of error? Interesting, but did you know that even though God is all powerful there are still things He cannot do. One thing God cannot do is sin. Jesus was/is God in human form. He took on the flesh of man, but remained God. No, He was not capable of error.

Technology evil? No. Satan, the world and the human heart are evil. Technology can be used for good or evil, but it is not evil.

Age of the earth. That is a hot debate. Most reliable science agrees with the Bible that the earth is less than 10k years old.

You are not just important to God, you are precious in His sight! He adores you and desire you to know Him intimately.

John 2:1-11 NIV
On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine." "Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied, "My time has not yet come."

His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."

Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.

Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim.

Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet."

They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."

This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.


1 timothy 5:23 NIV
Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.

MartyLK

But aren't you contradicting your statement? You said there was no useful purpose for alcohol then you cite some spew in the attempt to justify your view that the alcohol was used for good health reasons.


You also say it is associated with evil yet God himself provided the best wine a person could have. It's declared in scriptures. "When a person has had too much to drink"

Now are you going to justify the rebuke of the Lord Jesus Christ, God, himself, with a note about the harm the *abuse* of the God given gift has caused in society? There are a lot of other abuses as well: Sexual abuse...I don't hear anyone denouncing the activity of sexual relations in a marriage. Prescription drug abuse....nobody is lamenting the relief given there. The use of vehicles....still driving and dying.

You see, if a person wants to rebuke the Lord for another person's freedom, they must do so in a way that doesn't twist God's word and it must be in a way that doesn't speak evil of or rebuke the Lord. There are a lot of abuses in the world. If a church can only bring about a resolution to a particular abuse by adding a note to God's word making it a sin, that church isn't one that belongs to God.

I, personally don't look down on anyone for using or not using alcohol. What I won't tolerate is someone claiming to speak for God saying this or that is wrong when it isn't.

I didn't say anything the last post but instead gave you God's word that the Holy Spirit might enlighten you. That hasn't happened and more than that, you are telling God he is associated with evil.

Here's some more to chew on:

Matthew 11:19 NIV
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and "sinners." ' But wisdom is proved right by her actions."

Acts 2:13-15 NIV (The day of Pentecost)
Some, however, made fun of them and said, "They have had too much wine.
Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: "Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It's only nine in the morning!

1Corinthians 11:20-34 NIV
When you come together, it is not the Lord's Supper you eat, for as you eat, each of you goes ahead without waiting for anybody else. One remains hungry, another gets drunk. Don't you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? Certainly not! For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself. That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment. When we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.
So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for each other. If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment.
And when I come I will give further directions.

If you need more, I'll supply.

MartyLK

You have one to answer to, for your false accusations and heresy and unbelief but it isn't to me.

I never mentioned that I drink alcohol. It just isn't any of your business how I use the freedoms I have in Christ. I have told you the truth in Christ but you have rejected it and have now assaulted me because you can't have your way.

There will be a rebuke waiting for you. You should have left the questioned unanswered rather than blastpheme the Spirit of Christ.
