1 | Eph 5:26 | Eph 5:26 | strts5 | 221700 | ||
I went to a bible study recently and the pastor made a statement that really struck me. He said at salvation, you are saved, but your mind is not. It really made sense to me, and made many scriptures suddenly make more sense as well. I have been trying to make sense of the finished work at Calvary and renewing the mind, where if the work is finished why I must renew my mind with the word. I guess my question is, is your mind saved at the moment of salvation? |

2 | 1 Timothy 6:3 | 1 Cor 9:19 | strts5 | 218243 | ||
Hi all, The church I have been attending has been involved with this stuff for quite sometime. It always bothered me, but I just blew it off, until this last week. My pastor asked me to read a book awhile ago (title withheld, E-mail me if you want the title) and I finally got around to reading it, or I should say what I could stomach! Over the last few days I have been researching the Emergent movement and Lectio Divina, then thinking more about the teachings of my church. Our web page has now taken down it's Statement of Faith and replaced it with a mission statement (not bad in and of itself). There is also a section on Lectio Divina complete with quotes to help you meditate, several of which are from Thomas Merton (google this guy). I am now starting to believe that false doctrines have crept into my church, but am unsure of how I should react biblicaly. Any scripture or advice would be appreciated. |

3 | Is 53:5 | Is 53:5 | strts5 | 217741 | ||
Young's Literal Translation Is 53:5 And he is pierced for our transgressions, Bruised for our iniquities, The chastisement of our peace is on him, And by his bruise there is healing to us. I'm sure this scripture has been discussed, does someone have an ID# before I ask a question. Thanks |

4 | Luke 10:1 | Luke 9:53 | strts5 | 215450 | ||
Luke 10:1 1Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come. So Jesus sent out 70 people to 35 places He was planning on going. Jesus had a pretty tight schedule. Is it documented where all these people went and at which point in Jesus ministry this occurred? Was He already on His way to Jerusalem? |

6 | people places and things OT | Bible general Archive 4 | strts5 | 215301 | ||
does anyone know of any EASY to understand online biblical historical study materiel? I often read the O.T. have no clue whats going on, then I will hear a teaching that gives some background. Then I go back and read that section again and suddenly it makes a whole lot more sense. If I can picture it in my head I can make sense of it, but just reading sometimes I don't get a thing out of it :( Thanks Mike |

7 | 2 Peter 1:3-8 hows it work? | 2 Pet 1:9 | strts5 | 215255 | ||
2 Peter 1:3-8 3His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. The previous post caused me to look up the verse in its context, now I have questions. As I was reading it looks like verse 3-4 are the how to verse 5-8. Basically learning more about who HE is and His power IS the power to enable us to live out verse 5-8? Just looking for a sounding board here, am I stretching or do I get it? In Him Mike |

8 | Rev 3:15-16 | Revelation | strts5 | 215183 | ||
Rev 3:15-16 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm— neither hot nor cold— I am about to spit you out of my mouth. I just heard a 'new' interpretation on this verse. One I have never heard before. It implied that this is verse is dealing with mixing the Law and Grace and not our 'walk' with Christ. Interesting to me, I can see where it could make sense, but I also feel as though this verse may be being used to fit someones own teaching. |

10 | Holy Spirit convicts of sin? | 2 Tim 2:15 | strts5 | 215046 | ||
I was reading a book and came across a quote. At first it shocked me because I had always read this verse or heard this verse quoted wrong. I want to know if anyone has any input here? The Holy Spirit convicts us (Christians) of sin? No convicts the world of not believing in Christ! Convict Christians of Righteousness! John 16:8-11 8"And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; 9concerning sin, (N)because they do not believe in Me; 10and concerning (O)righteousness, because (P)I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; 11(Q)and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. |

11 | Glorious church? | Rev 1:11 | strts5 | 206114 | ||
Ephesians 3:7-11 ...to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. 10His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, 11according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. I was raised Pentacostal and remember the pastor talking about end times, and the enemy and to always be carefull or else... (use your imagination). I've also heard many preachers teaching doomsday and be on watch, because these other churches, etc... Are we really members of a weak, just barelly making it by church, or are we a glorious church known throught heaven that the enemy fears? Maybe I'm just on a tangent here. I visited a church last night, great worship, I always feel so buisy doing stuff at my church I can't just stop and enjoy. The sermon though, for some reason just jumped out at me like fingernails on a chalkboard. He was talking about how things are about to get get real difficult for the church and how many are going to fall away if we don't pray and do this and that, etc. I know there is truth to this in one aspect but also didn't Paul say , " many would fall away, if it were possible"? I don't know, but I am starting to feal we are much more united than many percieve, much more powerfull and glorious. Anyway, maybe I'm missing something, I would like to hear others thoughts on this. Are we weak and misserable or is it what God sais? In love, Mike |

12 | Carpenter or rabbi? | Matthew | strts5 | 204353 | ||
I'm sure this has been discussed before but could not find any posts dealing directly with it. Was Jesus a carpenter or a rabbi? Typically Rabbi's didn't have jobs (I think) and also Jesus was doing the will of the Father. Joseph wasn't his father. Joseph did raise him though. I don't know if this has a diffinitive answere, maybe just two schools of thought. |

14 | Pentacost | Acts 2:1 | strts5 | 204059 | ||
If you click on a thread, scroll to the bottom and you can see the entire thread. I'm listed as strts5 but I'm really Mike. Try that, should make more sense... Also on this thread I want to say more but don't have diffinitive evidence or greek understanding. I'll go ahead anyway and state "in my opinion" however don't in any way take it as Gospel, but it kinda makes sense. So here goes... Acts 2:1 ..."when the day of Pentacost had fully come"... may mean it was already day time and they were already at the Temple. Acts 2:3 ..."and it filled all the house"... House can mean both a home or the Temple and many other things, etc. etc. Acts 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. So Jesus commanded them to go to Jerusalem but not nessecarily the upper room. Acts 1:13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode... Abode simply means to live, it does not say they didn't leave. Anyway, I "think" it is very possible and even probable they were already in the Temple when they reiceved the Holy Spirit. It would have deffinately made quite an impression. There are also some evidence this may have been the case if you look at the O.T. Read about the dedication of Solomon's Temple. Anyway I am definately up for critiquing and encourage it please. |

15 | Melchizedek and Shem | Heb 7:3 | strts5 | 203933 | ||
I was recently reading a Pastor's notes for service and in it he basically said Shem (Noah's son) was also Melchizedek. I kind of scrached my head a little. Has anyone ever heard anything anywhere about this. It was a first for me. | ||||||
16 | Abraham, Gods first choice??? | James 1:17 | strts5 | 193252 | ||
I seem to remember someone telling me Abraham was not Gods first choice, but could not find it anywhere. I think maybe its someone else in the Bible or just fuzzy memory, who knows, but if someone does know please let me know... Mike R ps I shouldn't try to make sense after 11pm. |

17 | pride and ego | Matt 16:24 | strts5 | 193075 | ||
Mat 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For me right now in my life I take this to mean I need to die to my own ego and pride. Is there an easy way to do this? I have spent 30 years building it up and its painful to deal with, especially when I don't recognize what the true pride is that is so contrary to Christ. I'm pretty sure there is no shortcut, but if someone knows one... (wishful thinking). This is a recurring theme in my life and a lesson I want to learn and get over with (I know there will always be a little tug of war). Any thoughts are appreciated. Mike R. ps I love asking questions here, there is no one who knows me and gives biased answers based on personal relationship with me. |

18 | debt free | Lev 25:52 | strts5 | 193029 | ||
Gal 5:1 It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. I am in deep financial debt from living a past sinful lifestyle. looking for some scripture on Gods providence for getting out of debt. I believe it is His will, but will He help me? |

Not a real question, and totally off topic, just wanted to share. "NEPAL'S troubled national carrier has taken a spiritual approach to recent maintenance troubles with one of its Boeing 757s by sacrificing two goats in front of the plane to appease a Hindu god." Mike R |

20 | give and it shall be givin | Luke 6:38 | strts5 | 192832 | ||
In Luke chapter 6 is there a separation (or new thought) between verse 36 and 37? If so, can you read Luke 6:38 as a stand alone statement or do you need to include verse 37? Or for that matter not include verse 39-42. I just find it odd people people quote this verse by itself so often and really want to know. Looking for the Truth Mike R |
