Jesus' sacrifice transcends time, so why didn't people before Christ not enjoy it?

Jesus' blood washes our sins past present and future. That means people all the way to Adam should receive the washing. Why was it not?

Questions about Prophesies.

There are moments in the bible when a prophesy was given but did not come to pass such as Jonah's. " Yet forty days, and Ninevah shall be overthrown!"-Jonah

Can what Jonah said still be called a prophesy if it doesn't come to pass?

When people give us a prophesy I don't know what to do with it. Because I don't know the purpose of it.

What's the purpose of a prophesy given to us?

Can we measure Faith?

Faith can be measured. As small as a mustard seed, "surely I have not found so great Faith", According to your faith be it unto you.

Then how much faith is required?

There are times when Pastors question, "You know in your head, but do you believe in your heart?" Then I realise I'm being a hypocrite, I don't fully believe in some things. Do we have to believe using our head or heart?

Can anyone believe in something in the spiritual realm fully without a slightest bit of doubt?

Can we Earn our blessings?

During History Maker 2010 I received this question

With reference to the One North Miracle Seed Sunday. Someone in my caregroup was asking whether we should should expect the 100 fold return for all the tithings and for the Miracle Seed sown with reference to what Pastor Prince said quite a few times to expect the return.

There are other instances like honoring your parents and you will have long life.

When doing all these requirements do we get a separate blessing?

What do your think?

Did God forgive Adam? Did Adam ever ask for forgiveness?

(from http://bible.org/question/did-god-forgive-adam-did-adam-ever-ask-forgiveness)

You have asked some interesting questions. I do not know of a Bible passage that clearly answers your questions, but I would like to point out what the Bible does clearly tell us. I believe that we can infer the answer to your question from these facts.

(1) God was gracious to warn Adam about sin and its consequences. God told Adam not to eat of the fruit of the forbidden tree. He told him that if he did, he would die (Genesis 2:15-17).

(2) When Adam sinned, God did not immediately put Adam to death, as his sin deserved. Instead, God sought Adam out, and exposed his sin (Genesis 3:8-13). God also indicated the consequences Adam and his wife would experience because of their sin (Genesis 3:8-19).

(3) God promised to provide a cure for sin and death (Genesis 3:15). He also provided Adam and Eve with coverings (3:21).

(4) God graciously removed Adam and Eve from the garden, and prevented them from returning to it. He kept them from eating of the tree of life, lest they live forever in their sin (3:22-24).

(5) God was gracious to turn the curse into the cure. Death kept Adam and Eve from living forever as condemned sinners. It was death (the death of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary) that ultimately and permanently defeated Satan, sin, and death -- because our Lord died in the sinner's place, and then rose from the dead. Even the woman's pain in childbearing was gracious, because it was through this painful process that the Messiah would someday come into the world to save sinners.

(6) God graciously gave Adam and Eve another son -- Seth -- after Cain killed Abel (4:25-26). It was after the birth of Seth that people began to worship the Lord (4:26). Did this include Adam? I am inclined to think so.

All of this suggests that Adam and Eve did seek God's forgiveness, and receive it. The Bible places the emphasis on Adam's sin (and not on his repentance and forgiveness) because it was through Adam's sin that all mankind was corrupted and brought under the same sentence of death (Romans 5:12-21). Adam turns our attention toward the sin of the human race. Jesus Christ turns our attention to life and righteousness.

Does the law of Double jeopardy apply to Daddy?

Double jeopardy is a procedural defense that forbids a defendant from being tried twice for the same crime on the same set of facts.

I know Daddy send his son to die for us, TOOK OUR ALL OUR SINS and sufferings.

I have a question to ask. If Jesus died and took all our our sins, how about those who are going to hell? The same sin cannot be trailed twice. Whether they accept Christ or not, Jesus still died for them..

He is the same God who cannot remove Law just like that, God has to fulfill the requirements. The same just God I know cannot let Jesus pay for people's sins if we are going to pay for it on Judgement day.

On Judgement Day does people's unbelieve cause them to pay for their own sins?

AND Did Jesus die for the sin of unbelieve?

Questions about Ar·ma·ged·don

Ar·ma·ged·don

So this topic has interested me greatly ALL throughout my Christian life and still is. And it is also a topic of great interest to many in the secular world since it pretty much concerns their future as well. What prompted me to write this is the recent Chilean earthquake (another great earthquake - 8.8) as it highlighted yet again one of many the signs of the end.

Matthew 24:7-8 (New King James Version)
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences,[a] and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

And here are a little numbers to show you the number of GREAT earthquakes that are exponentially increasing in just the last century alone:
1880-1890 - 1
1890-1900 - 1
1900-1910 - 3
1910-1920 - 2
1920-1930 - 2
1930-1940 - 5
1940-1950 - 4
1950-1960 - 9
1960-1970 - 13
1970-1980 - 46
1980-1990 - 53
1990-2000 - ???

this is a pretty old source and it doesn't show the new data. But u can pretty much imagine that 1990-2000 was insane. And in our more recent history 2000-2010 - with the 2004 boxing day earthquake at Indonesia being close to heart.

This topic of course not only limited to earthquakes but everything about the end times in general. I know I spoke to ZJ and Jiahao before on this and it was pretty interesting so Im hoping to see u guys inputting!

Does Daddy respect Free will?

If Daddy can turn the hearts of men, or let people's opinion of you be changed (find favour, can we still say that God respects free will?

e.g. made the Egyptians hate Israel

Psalms 105:24-25
The LORD made his people very fruitful;
he made them too numerous for their foes,
whose hearts he (foes) turned to hate his people,
to conspire against his servants.

Why do worldly disasters still happen?

This is a qn answered by Pastor before during the Tsunami period. But another great disaster has happened again - the earthquake in Haiti. And with that came another wave of prodding questions - Why do natural disasters happen? And why does God allow them to happen? And taking it one step further - What happens when there's a believer living in the area believing in protection. Does God allow him/her to be harmed? Perhaps God may move the believer out of danger but what if the believer prays for protection over the whole country/area. Is not God big enough to accomodate that prayer?

Do we have a part to play?

"Without God, man cannot, but without man, God will not" T/F?

have always had a bit of issue with this statement because it makes ourselves sound so impt like that, as if God wont do anything just cause of us...
but lately i wonder if our part is really that necessary...? @_@

Why Pray when Daddy is all knowing(Omniscience)?

God already knows what we need and want, so why still pray... shin said she asked jh (in jc lol) who said prayer is for our own minds, so we'll know its God when something happens.

Why do pastors that preach healing still wear specs/contacts?

Not a question to spite the pastors, but a genuine question that has been in my heart for sometime.

Imagine this: Pastors who preach healing, esp those who have been preaching healing and healing others for such a long time (E.g our church?), must be so convinced about it, if not how can they have faith to pray or heal? No doubt that Jesus is the one that heals, but they having been the vessel, and the ambassador of God's healing power must be much more than others. Example: Paul was super full of Grace in every aspect of his life through being the ambassador of Jesus' grace.

So there lies the question. Why do pastors that preach healing still wear specs/contacts?

(reminder that moses died with his eyes not dim. and he was under law. how much us?)

After Daddy Gave, we still have another step of receiving?

After Daddy gave us everything, we still have a questionable step of receiving. Shouldn't it be like the fruit of the spirit, after we have the spirit we automatically manifest fruits. Why do we seem to have another step of working to get our blessings?

Was our natural consequences borne on the cross?

I've always known Christ died to for our sins, TOOK our punishment, our pain, the wrath....

I heard from someone that Jesus did take our condemnation BUT NOT OUR CONSEQUENCES.

What's the point, if its really like they say-we still suffer anyway... the only thing it takes away is our guilt/ mental burden ..

How far does grace extend? Is our faith important?

(I've asked this question & had it answered before but i think its worth posting.)

We've all been taught that there's grace for things we fail at,

but it always sounds as though-you can only obtain this grace if you actively kind of apply it to your situation/believe there's grace... in other words it seems like you need to have faith for grace to FLOW.

but the trouble comes, when you find, you have no faith! and the thing you need grace for, is faith itself! (and i think we all do. LOL.)

but since you have no faith, u cant have grace, and since u cant have grace, you cant have faith, you're essentially stuck in a rut.

The bigger qn underlying it i think, is, is faith as we normally hear about it really that important?

How do we know the bible is real?

The bible is the basis for all our beliefs, if the bible is not real, then everything we believe in has no basis.

What is the meaning of life?

I don't seem to find any meaning in life... The whole of Ecclesiastes clearly shows us that there is no meaning in life. ALL IS VANITY!! It shows that all meaning is destroyed due to the end result of death. Everything "under the sun" seems to be in vain.

No doubt there might be satisfaction in life such as doing fulfilling Jobs, love in the family, caring for friends. But is there a meaning to it?

I now guess that the meaning of life on earth must lie in something not "under the sun"

Maybe to sort us into where we go for eternity?
