Pastor Reine & his wife Barbara Reine have gone to Heaven

 Hello everyone.. loyal readers of The Bible Prayer Line

 My dad started this Blog about 15 years ago to try and reach more people for the Lord online. He had a phone line at the last church he pastored where local residents and members could call for prayer or to talk with a pastor. 

This website grew out of that. It is with a HEAVY heart i must let everyone know that my mom Barbara Reine passed away August 20th, 2023. Mom played organ at our church, made meals for everyone and spent her whole life serving others in the ministry.

My dad passed away not long after mom. About a month after. I'm 100% confident they are both in Heaven now with no pain, no sorrow. 

However there are still bills / concerns which they unfortunately left behind. If you are able to, please consider helping us. Anything is very appreciated!

Thank you and God bless!

Matt (Rev. Joseph J. Reine & Barbara Reines son)

Bible Questions Answered:

So it's faith and not with any works that saves...right?....”

Bible Answer:


Yes, it is faith alone.


John 3:15 NLT

So that everyone who believes in Him will have eternal life.


John 5:24 NLT

I tell you The Truth, those who listen to My message and believe in God who sent Me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.


John 11:25 NLT

Jesus told her, “I am The Resurrection and The Life. Anyone who believes in Me will live, even after dying.


John 20:30,31 NLT

30 The disciples saw Jesus do many other miraculous signs in addition to the ones recorded in this book.

31 But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is The Messiah, The Son Of God, and that by believing in Him you will have life by the power of His name.


Here is a story of Paul and Silas and their experience with the Philippian jailer.


Acts 16:16-34 NLT (Paul and Silas in Prison)

16 One day as we were going down to the place of prayer, we met a slave girl who had a spirit that enabled her to tell the future. She earned a lot of money for her masters by telling fortunes.

17 She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of The Most High God, and they have come to tell you how to be saved.”


18 This went on day after day until Paul got so exasperated that he turned and said to the demon within her, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And instantly it left her.


19 Her masters’ hopes of wealth were now shattered, so they grabbed Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities at the marketplace.

20 “The whole city is in an uproar because of these Jews!” they shouted to the city officials.

21 “They are teaching customs that are illegal for us Romans to practice.”


22 A mob quickly formed against Paul and Silas, and the city officials ordered them stripped and beaten with wooden rods.

23 They were severely beaten, and then they were thrown into prison. The jailer was ordered to make sure they didn’t escape.

24 So the jailer put them into the inner dungeon and clamped their feet in the stocks.


25 Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening.

26 Suddenly, there was a massive earthquake, and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off!

27 The jailer woke up to see the prison doors wide open. He assumed the prisoners had escaped, so he drew his sword to kill himself.

28 But Paul shouted to him, “Stop! Don’t kill yourself! We are all here!”


29 The jailer called for lights and ran to the dungeon and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.

30 Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”


31 They replied, “Believe in The Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household.” (This is not something infants do.)


32 And they shared The Word Of The Lord with him and with all who lived in his household.


(They all, individually heard The Word, and believed! Understood and believed (not infants).


33 Even at that hour of the night, the jailer cared for them and washed their wounds. Then he and everyone in his household were immediately baptized.

34 He brought them into his house and set a meal before them, and he and his entire household rejoiced because they all believed in God. (Infants do not know how to rejoice.) (Ask an infant if he believes in God.)


(Infants should be dedicated to The Lord.)


Ephesians 2:8,9 KJV

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is The Gift Of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.


Titus 3:5 NLT

He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through The Holy Spirit.


Prayer:


I John 2:6 NLT

Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.

At The Moment Of Death

Bible Questions Answered:

For the Christian, what happens at death?...”

Jason/ Austin, Texas


Bible Answer:

For the Christian, we will forever be with the Lord!

II Corinthtians 5:8 KJV

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.


Stephen, was a deacon, and spiritual leader in his church. He became a marytr for his faith. When being stoned to death he cried out …..


Acts 7:59 NLT

As they stoned him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”


As Stephen's body was perishing, he willed his spirit, his soul to return to the Lord, who gave it.


Ecclesiastes 12:6,7 NLT

6 Yes, remember your Creator now while you are young, before the silver cord of life snaps and the golden bowl is broken. Don’t wait until the water jar is smashed at the spring and the pulley is broken at the well.

7 For then the dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.


Philippians 1:21 KJV (Apostle Paul)

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.


I Corinthians 15:51-57 NLT (Coming in a future time, could be today, are you ready?”

51 But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed!

52 It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed.

53 For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.

54 Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled:

Death is swallowed up in victory.

55 O death, where is your victory?

O death, where is your sting?”

56 For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power.

57 But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.


Now this is all good news for the Christian, but to those who are lost, (never having received the Lord as their Savior), it is bad news.


Luke 16:19-31 KJV

19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented

26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.


(We must of necessity, explain several thing in this story....

1) Lazarus was "not", saved because of his poverty! He was saved because he lived faithfully to the calling of his parents, who called him, Lazarus' a name that spelled out his spiritual direction. Lazarus is interpreted being...."My God Is My Helper"


2) The selfish rich man, did not get religion in hell- - THE WORK OF GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT, IS NOT IN HELL !

Why was he so concerned about his five lost brothers who had faithfully followed his example?

He knew they would all end up in hell, mocking and accusing him FOREVER AND FOR EVER!


Prayer:


Hebrews 4:7 KJV

Again, He limiteth a certain day, saying in David, Today, after so long a time; as it is said, Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts.


Romans 10:13 KJV

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved

Rejecting Christ

Bible Prayer Line Index


https://thebibleprayerline.blogspot.com/2018/05/tbpl-index.html

Bible Questions Answered:

What about those who say no to christ ?.....”


Bible Answer:


Rejecting The Lord Jesus (The Word):


Matthew 7:21-23 KJV

21 Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.


Mark 16:16 KJV

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.


Luke 10:16 KJV

He that heareth you heareth Me; and he that despiseth you despiseth Me; and he that despiseth Me despiseth Him that sent Me.


John 1:11 KJV

He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.


John 3:18 KJV

He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of The Only Begotten Son Of God.


John 3:36 KJV

He that believeth on The Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not The Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.


John 8:24 KJV

I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins.


John 12:48 KJV

He that rejecteth Me, and receiveth not My Words, hath one that judgeth him: The Word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.


John 16:7-9 NLT

7 But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, The Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send Him to you.

8 And when He comes, He will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment.

9 The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in Me.


Acts 4:12 KJV

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.


Romans 2:7-9 NLT

7 He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers.

8 But He will pour out His anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey The Truth and instead live lives of wickedness.

9 There will be trouble and calamity for everyone who keeps on doing what is evil—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile.


Romans 8:5-8 NLT

5 Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by The Holy Spirit think about things that please The Spirit.

6 So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting The Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.

7 For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will.

8 That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God.


I Thessalonians 4:7,8 NLT

7 God has called us to live holy lives, not impure lives.

8 Therefore, anyone who refuses to live by these rules is not disobeying human teaching but is rejecting God, who gives His Holy Spirit to you.


Hebrews 10:26-31 ESV

For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of The Truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has set aside The Law Of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot The Son Of God, and has profaned The Blood Of The Covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged The Spirit Of Grace? For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge His people.”


II John 1:7 KJV

For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an anti-Christ.


Revelation 21:8 KJV

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.


Prayer:

Hebrews 3:13 NLT

You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God.

Bible Questions Answered:

What are some of the ways, that do not , lead to salvation?...”

Bible Answer:


Some wrongly believe that a life of good works, surely lead to salvation.

But the Scriptures warn us....


Mark 16:16 KJV

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.


John 1:12,13 KJV

12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:

13 Which were born, not of .....

blood, nor of

the will of the flesh, nor of

the will of man, but of God.


John 3:14-18,36 KJV

14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must The Son Of Man be lifted up:

15 That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of The Only Begotten Son Of God.

36 He that believeth on The Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not The Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.


John 5:24 KJV

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.


John 6:35,37 KJV

35 And Jesus said unto them, I am The Bread Of Life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst.

37 All that The Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.


John 6:40,44,65 KJV

40 And this is the will of Him that sent Me, that every one which seeth The Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

44 No man can come to Me, except The Father which hath sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

65 And He said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto Me, except it were given unto him of My Father.


Acts 13:38,39 NLT

38 “Brothers, listen! We are here to proclaim that through this Man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins.

39 Everyone who believes in Him is made right in God’s sight—something the law of Moses could never do.


Acts 16:31 NLT

And they said, Believe on The Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.


Romans 3:22-26 NLT (Christ Took Our Punishment)

22 We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.

23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. 24 Yet God, in His grace, freely makes us right in His sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when He freed us from the penalty for our sins.

25 For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed His life, shedding His Blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when He held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past,

26 for He was looking ahead and including them in what He would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate His righteousness, for He Himself is fair and just, and He makes sinners right in His sight when they believe in Jesus.


Romans 4:4-8 NLT

4 When people work, their wages are not a gift, but something they have earned.

5 But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.

6 David also spoke of this when he described the happiness of those who are declared righteous without working for it:


7 “Oh, what joy for those

whose disobedience is forgiven,

whose sins are put out of sight.

8 Yes, what joy for those

whose record The Lord has cleared of sin."


Romans 10:9,10 KJV

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth The Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.


Ephesians 2:4,5 KJV

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Ephesians 2:8,9 KJV

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is Tahe Gift Of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.


I John 5:10-12 KJV

10 He that believeth on The Son Of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made Him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of His Son.

11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

12 He that hath The Son hath life; and he that hath not The Son Of God hath not life.


Prayer:


Romans 8:35,37-39 NLT (Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love)

35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?

37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.

39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Bible Questions Answered:

My mother just passed on, will I know her in heaven?

Cindy/ Spokane, Washington

Bible Answer:

If she was a “born-again” Christian, the answer is a definite yes!

John 3:3 KJV

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

II Samuel 12:23 NLT "... I will go to him one day, but he cannot return to me.”

King David lost his first son with Bathsheba, and yet he stated that one day he would be able to go to him.

Matthew 17:1-8 KJV 1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and His face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with Him. 4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold A Voice out of the cloud, which said, This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him. 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

Moses and Elijah had many many years ago passed from the earth, and yet, Peter, James and, John knew them, how could that be? It was through the power of God's Spirit that they did, they had immediate recognition.

Luke 16:19-31 NLT (The Rich Man and Lazarus) 19 Jesus said, “There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed in purple and fine linen and who lived each day in luxury. 20 At his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus who was covered with sores. 21 As Lazarus lay there longing for scraps from the rich man’s table, the dogs would come and lick his open sores. 22 “Finally, the poor man died and was carried by the angels to sit beside Abraham at the heavenly banquet. The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and he went to the place of the dead. There, in torment, he saw Abraham in the far distance with Lazarus at his side. 24 “The rich man shouted, ‘Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. I am in anguish in these flames.’ 25 “But Abraham said to him, ‘Son, remember that during your lifetime you had everything you wanted, and Lazarus had nothing. So now he is here being comforted, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides, there is a great chasm separating us. No one can cross over to you from here, and no one can cross over to us from there.’ 27 “Then the rich man said, ‘Please, Father Abraham, at least send him to my father’s home. 28 For I have five brothers, and I want him to warn them so they don’t end up in this place of torment.’ 29 “But Abraham said, ‘Moses and the prophets have warned them. Your brothers can read what they wrote.’ 30 “The rich man replied, ‘No, Father Abraham! But if someone is sent to them from the dead, then they will repent of their sins and turn to God.’ 31 “But Abraham said, ‘If they won’t listen to Moses and the prophets, they won’t be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”

This is “not” a parable. Jesus never used proper names in a parable! This is a true account of Lazarus and the rich man. They after death, knew each other and Abraham, whom they had never met!

Heavenly Regathering:

I Thessalonians 4:13-17 NLT (The Hope of the Resurrection) 13 And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with Him the believers who have died. 15 We tell you this directly from The Lord: We who are still living when The Lord returns will not meet Him ahead of those who have died. 16 For The Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves. 17 Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet The Lord in the air. Then we will be with The Lord forever. 18 So encourage each other with these words.

The Apostle Paul wrote to assure every Christian that there is coming a grand reunion day, and that we are to “encourage each other with these words.”

I Peter 5:7 KJV Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.

Bible Questions Answered:

Are we body and spirit or soul and body?...”

Rick/ Cheyenne, Wyoming

Bible Answer:


I Thessalonians 5:23 NLT Paul’s Final Greetings

Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.


The Apostle Paul stated that man is, spirit, soul and, body.


This is what is called the “trichotomist,” view. Body, soul and, spirit.


Some believe that man is of two parts, body and soul (or spirit).

This group is called the “dichotomists.”


They believe that soul or spirit are one. (Two different verses, yet with the same meaning.)


I Peter 2:11 KJV

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;


James 2:26 KJV

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.


Trichotomists hold that body, soul and, spirit are different entities.


The Body; World awareness.


The Soul; Self awareness.


(The Conscience:)


I Peter 2:19 KJV

For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.


Hebrews 10:22 KJV

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

(The Heart:)


Matthew 22:37 KJV

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love The Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.


Hebrews 4:12 KJV

For The Word Of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.


(The Mind:)


Romans 12:2 KJV

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.


The Spirit; God awareness.


Hebrews 4:12 KJV

For The Word Of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.


I Thessalonians 5:23 KJV

And the very God Of Peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.


Prayer:


II Corinthians 3:16-18 NLT

16 But whenever someone turns to The Lord, the veil is taken away.

17 For The Lord is The Spirit, and wherever The Spirit Of The Lord is, there is freedom.

18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of The Lord. And The Lord—who is The Spirit—makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His glorious image.
