21 | 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. |

22 | 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. | ||||||
23 | 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. |

24 | 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 |

25 | 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. |

26 | 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 |
