By answering the title question ( 3)
Contents . Faith between parents and children is not inherited. However, in Exodus 20:5-6, according to the father's deeds, it seems that he punishes and blesses salvation beyond the third and fourth generations. What does this mean? Will it be hereditary?
Faith is personal. It is not hereditary. It is simply that the consequences of the actions of the father can affect the descendants. My father worshiped idols. He said that the sin would reach up to 3 or 4 generations, but if his first son accepts Jesus, the punishment for his parents' sins will not fall on him. However, if his 5th, 6th, and 10th generations continue to reject Jesus, the punishment will continue for him only after 3 or 4 generations have passed.
He said that a thousand kinds of grace are given to those who love God and keep His commandments. If a father is a person who loves God and keeps God's commandments, but he is not a son
This statement does not apply to him. It's the same after that.
In context, it is a word that is extremely opposed to idolatry, and at the same time calls for love and obedience to God.
2. Is there a spirit body and a spirit body?
have. In the story of the rich man and Lazarus, after death the rich man saw Lazarus in Abraham's bosom in the distance. It speaks of a certain spirit, reality, and shows that the soul can see the soul.
Those who have a physical body cannot see the spirit body with their physical eyes, but when we take off our body after death and enter the spirit world, the spirit and the spirit can see each other. It is different from the appearance of the physical body (Spiritual)
Being) exists.
3. If the Holy Spirit teaches, guides, comforts, and protects us now, what kind of work are God the Father and Jesus the Son doing?
In the Old Testament, God the Father mainly acted, and it is the work of God the Father as the Triune God. We must not think of God the Father in isolation. Likewise, the age of the New Testament, the age of God's activity after the ascension of Jesus is also the same. God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit can be viewed as individual personalities (eg, when Jesus was baptized). can't
Therefore, the work of the Holy Spirit is the same as that of God the Father and God the Son. Because he is a triune God. This is evidenced by the Bible saying that the Holy Spirit is sometimes the Spirit of the Lord (Jesus), the Spirit of God.
We humans cannot fully understand the Triune God and the work of the Triune God. This is because humans are limited and lacking beings as creatures. When the Bible speaks of the Triune God, we believe it as it is.
4. Are the 9 fruits of the Holy Spirit automatically revealed to believers? Or is it our choice?
The fruit of the Holy Spirit is basically revealed to the saved believers through the work of the Holy Spirit.
However, it is when the saints submit to and obey the Holy Spirit, that is, when they are filled with the Holy Spirit.
5. Paul performed many supernatural miracles during his ministry, so why didn't he emphasize his miracles and use his gift of healing in spite of his illness, Epaphro Titus and Timothy?
Yes. Paul did not use the gift of healing at all during the final period of his ministry. It was because Paul knew that as the biblical revelation was almost complete (Revelation), God would no longer work through a supernatural miracle. In the Bible, after the many supernatural miracles performed on the island of Melide in the book of Acts, the miracle event is never mentioned in the Bible. Rather, Paul was not healed of even his own disease. And his beloved disciples Timothy and Epaphro Titus were ill, but they did not perform miracles.
The reason that the work of miracles is not emphasized is because the gift of performing miracles will disappear, and the work more important than the works of miracles was the evidence of the gospel of salvation.
6. Can an unbeliever discern the correct church without the knowledge of the Bible?
Unbelievers cannot do it themselves. You have to meet a right leader (a Bible teacher) who has awakened through God's grace, and you can learn the Bible from him. Of course, not all people who have learned correctly can discern the correct church.
This is because there are many people who always learn as the Bible says, but cannot come to the knowledge of the truth.
Of course, in God's predestination, those who realize that they have learned correctly in God's grace will discern.
7. Is it designed to be the case for mentally ill people who have trouble accepting and understanding the gospel?
Everything about life and soul is a decision of God. In understanding and interpreting the entire Bible, we must know God's absolute sovereignty, absolute grace, and the total fall of man. It is especially important to realize the absolute sovereignty of God. If we do not acknowledge the absolute sovereignty of God, we cannot understand why I was born in this age, in this country, in this city, in our family, as a man.
Also, when God is in control of the creation of the heavens and the earth, the creation of humans, and human life and death, does He ask humans for their will? Not like that. This shows the absolute sovereignty of God. The absolute sovereignty of God is the teaching of the Bible.
References: Matthew 13:10-17, Luke 9:45, Romans 9, 11, John 10, John 3:16 (Jesus died not for goats, but for sheep, other sheep, and lost sheep. Also Even on the cross, Jesus showed the sheep and the goats through two thieves.)
If this mentally ill person who had trouble accepting and understanding the gospel died in that condition, that was the decision. It's a pity for a human to think, but...
8. What is Arminianism?
It does not recognize God's absolute predestination (choice) by God's absolute sovereignty in salvation and the total fall of man. God loves everyone in the world and wants everyone to repent, but he thinks that man cannot be saved because he does not return to God. We believe that salvation depends on human choices. Interpret the world in John 3:16 as everyone in the world.
They also believe that they cannot be saved if they commit a sin even though they believe in Jesus.
It is believing that salvation can be revoked even if it is truly saved.
9. What does Jesus, the High Priest, do for the saints now?
When Jesus was offered as the eternal sacrifice on the cross, was buried, resurrected, and ascended into heaven, he fully fulfilled his role as a high priest.
Since then, even now and until Jesus comes again, He is with the saints as the Triune God and is with them in the souls and lives of the saints to understand the Word, hear our prayers, guide and protect us.( mediator, comforter)
10 . John 1:1, Revelation 19:13, etc. say that Jesus is the Word. What does that mean?
It has several meanings. Before Jesus came to this earth, His name was the Word. When he came to this earth, his name was Jesus. Also, Jesus came to teach the Word. There is no Jesus without words. Because the Word is Jesus.
So, to believe in Jesus means to believe in the words of Jesus. It also means that Jesus is God (God the Son).
