Real Biblical Application

What lessons can we learn from 1 Corinthians 11:2-16? What is "the covering" discussed in these verses? Jonathan Edwards of Pure and Simple Bible will take us through a study of these verses on the next two episodes!

1 Corinthians 15:29 -  Otherwise, what will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why then are they baptized for the dead?

The most notorious interpretation of 1 Corinthians 15:29 is the one advocated by Mormonism—that people who are alive on the Earth can be baptized, and the efficacy of that baptism then is offered to those who already have died and are in the spirit realm. Is this verse teaching proxy baptism as practiced by the Mormons?

James 4:13-16  "Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.” 14 Yet you do not know [b]what your life will be like tomorrow. For you are just a vapor that appears for a little while, and then vanishes away. 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.” 16 But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil."

Our world is much like the New Testament world concerning buying and selling merchandise and being involved in marketing a product. Business involves planning how to market and sell your goods. God cares about our business endeavors. But He wants us to see the importance of not boasting about our work. James calls it arrogant to boast about business efforts as if we are the ones in charge and our successes come because of what we have done

Jacob Maddux will take us through an important study on this topic.

Jesus preached, in the Sermon on the Mount, “Judge not, that ye be not judged” Matthew 7:1. But what did He mean by that? Did He mean His followers should never criticize someone else’s behavior? Did He mean we should all just “mind our own business”? How can we call the world to repent if we are not supposed to criticize sinful behavior? And at what point does it become “judging”? Kaleb Leonard takes us through a study on this important topic.

"For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

Matthew 18:20 

One of the misused verses in all the bible

You’ve likely heard this verse quoted a few times during bible studies, church services, prayers, or church meetings. Where two or more are gathered is most commonly quoted to give legitimacy to assembling separate from a congregation. Meaning that even though there might only be a few people gathered God is still with them. 

But does that ignore the context in which this verse is written?

John 14:13-14 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

We are told to ask and it will be done as we request. Ask anything, Jesus says. But ask it in My name,  Why in His name? 

Does this mean that anything we ask for we will receive as long as we ask it in Jesus' name?
