Q: The woman with the issue of blood had confident and faith to know that touching Jesus would make her well. But why was she trembling and fearful ? what was all the truth she told him?
A1: The source of her fear and trembling was that because she had an issue of blood she was ceremonially unclean and anyone touching her would also be unclean for a while. This would make the crowd likely to be angry with her.
A2: The answer to your second question is found in the parallel account in Luke 8:47. The truth was why she touched Him. This public confession was 1) for her sake, it gave her a chance to confess Christ and glorify God. 2) It was an encouragement to Jairus. His daughter was dead but this same Jesus was coming to touch her and bring her back. 3) It was a rebuke to the crowd. They pressed close, but not with faith. They were most likely just curious.
Q: Joel 2:28 Is this referring to believers only or on both believers and non-believers?
A: God is speaking of His children. In saying that He will pour out His Spirit on all mankind, He is referring to all "types" of people. All humans are God's creation, but not all humans are God's children. Only those who have repented of their sins and have faith in Him are His children. Only His children can receive His Spirit (John 14:17). The others cannot have fellowship with Him since they are not His and have chosen to remain in rebellion.
Q: What is the difference between logos and rhema?
A: Logos and rhema are very similar Greek words. They are often translated "word". They both refer to spoken and written words. They both can mean utterance. Rhema can also mean event, condition, or thing. The two are related. When logos is used, it means a word/utterance that has many parts. These parts are rhema because rhema refers to singular or simple words. A minister's message would be a logos. The individual points which the message makes would be rhema because they have a single focus or point to make.
What is faith?
A: Faith is a straightforward thing. Faith has an owner and an object. Who needs faith? The answer is anyone who cannot do something. They are the owner. The object of faith can do the thing the object needs. For example, if you (owner) cannot fix your plumbing but know a plumber (object), you need faith.
Faith is made up of belief and trust. In the above example, you know the plumber exists, and if you trust that he/she will fix your plumbing (reward), you have faith in that plumber.
Hebrews 11:6 tells that without faith it is impossible to please God. When one has faith in God, it pleases Him. This is believing. Trust is manifested as we wait for Him to answer. The answer is the reward for seeking Him. Faith in God manifests itself in being assured of an answer, even when it takes time to see it (Heb. 11:1).
God is Almighty. He does not need faith, and there is no one greater. Therefore to have faith in God is our assurance that we will receive the thing for which we ask.
Every believer should have an attitude or outlook of faith. This attitude is what Paul means when he speaks of the “spirit of faith” (2 Cor. 4:13). Paul expresses this attitude by declaring he is victorious (14), God will be glorified (15), and that his trials worked for him, not against him (16–17).
Q: Acts 12:4 KJV 1. Was Easter here celebrated by pagans and/or gentiles? 2. If yes, is this why some Christians have diverted from saying Happy Easer to saying Happy Resurrection Day instead?
A: The Greek text of this verse actually says it was during the days of Pascha or unleavened bread.
This is the Jewish Passover. Both pagan Easter and Jewish Passover were at the same time in this event. So no, it isn't as far as Jews/Christians.
Q: What are some of the differences between cults like Jehovah Witness and Christianity?
A: First, remember that cults use the same terms you use but they have different meanings. They use the Bible of their choice and may add other "sacred" texts to support their cause.
This cult believes that Jesus is not God but only the son of God and is a god in the sense of an angel being a god. To them, he is the incarnation of Michael the archangel. To them, the Holy Spirit is merely an impersonal force God uses. Salvation is not by grace but by a complex, work-oriented two-class system. Only their 144000 will enter the higher levels of paradise. In the atonement, the sacrifice was that of an ordinary man to atone for the sins of ordinary humanity. They maintain this because they see human reasoning as the only proper way to determine the meaning of scripture. They believe Jesus never rose physically from the grave, but rather God disposed of his body a recreated him as Michael the archangel. They believe they alone are the true Church, and all others are satanic imposters. They do not believe hell exists but that the soul ceases to exist. This belief is called annihilationism. Their belief is primarily due to their belief that there is no difference between soul and body and no immaterial part of man survives physical death. The only Bible for them is the New World Translation of 1950, full of alternate readings with no backing in Greek or Hebrew. The Jehovah’s Witnesses explicitly deny the gospel by grace alone through faith alone apart from works. They deny justification by faith. They deny the nature of Christ and the atonement; they deny the resurrection and the just wrath of God upon sin. On the other hand, a Christian is a person who, by God’s grace, has been born again through the work of the Spirit (John 3). He has believed in Jesus Christ alone for salvation (Romans 3:23-24). God has justified all those who trust in Christ (Romans 5:1). A Christian has been sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13) and indwelt by the Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16).
Q: What are the basic beliefs concerning the Trinity?
A: When Scripture speaks of the Father (Phil. 1:2), Jesus (Titus 2:3), and the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:3–4) as God, are these three different ways of looking at God, or are these three roles of God? The answer to both questions is an unqualified NO! The Bible teaches that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three distinct persons (John 3:16; 16:10; 14:26). One is not sent or goes to oneself.
The fact that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct Persons means, in other words, that the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is not the Father. Jesus is God, but He is not the Father or the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God, but He is not the Son or the Father. They are different Persons, not three different ways of looking at God.
Some see the Spirit as a force of God, not a person, but the Scriptures say otherwise. The Holy Spirit has personal attributes. For example, he speaks (Hebrews 3:7), reasons (Acts 15:28), thinks and understands (1 Corinthians 2:10-11), wills (1 Corinthians 12:11), feels (Ephesians 4:30), and gives personal fellowship (2 Corinthians 13:14).
