41 | Does God want the NT or OT reflected? | Matt 22:40 | WalkingTalkingBible | 123262 | ||
I agree with you that we (Christians) must reflect God's Will and Word. It's what separates us from the world (unbelievers/hypocrites). Many can read the Bible, but how many do what God says? I'm glad that God has led you to commentary that is suitable for your spiritual needs. However (for the sake of new and unlearned souls who may read these posts) I would put emphasis on being led, by the Holy Ghost, to an appropriate commentary and not so much on what schools were attended, Ph.D's, etc - maybe it's just me. We know that these people who wrote the "good" commentaries were led by the Holy Ghost and we glorify God for giving us understanding of His Word, but new and unlearned souls may look to men for answers instead of God (and we know that all commentary is not in line with the Word of God). I do commend you for bringing out the importance of studying the Bible and obeying what God has said and that there is truthful commentary, and other spiritual study guides to be used. All Christians, whether new or "seasoned" need to know that it takes more than a superficial reading of the Bible. God says in Proverb 4:7, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." (Many Christians lack wisdom or don't know what it means to have it). Lastly (and I didn't mean to make this so long-forgive me), I believe that the OT and the NT are equally important to a well rounded relationship with God. Only in some areas does the NT have authority over the OT but not as a whole. But with the NT fulfilling (via Jesus) the OT, we see that God is the same; He does not and will not change.

Hi, Rowdy. What do you mean when you use "reflected?" (Sorry for that first post) WalkingTalkingBible |

Adam and Eve were accountable. Nowhere in the Bible does God say that Adam (or Eve) were incompetent. Do you think He told them not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil just so He can "set them up?" They were not babies! Anyway, for you to say that they were not accountable is saying that the entire Bible is a lie (I don't think you want to go that route). WalkingTalkingBible |

45 | Speaking in tongues? Use by women? | Gal 3:28 | WalkingTalkingBible | 122485 | ||
(". . .yet ye have not, because ye ask not." James 4:2) Hi, following him. I love to hear His voice too! And I agree, even in rebuke, He's loving. I remember when I hated prophetic nights because they'd never prophesy to me and God spoke to me (although not through the prophet) and said, "You're selfish!" It didn't "feel" good but it was so true. I was examining myself and had just asked Him to show me where I was coming up short at that particular time - and He told me with His own voice! The one gift I asked Him for I've received it. He has also given me a gift that I didn't ever think to have (it manifested again this morning at work!). He's knows what it takes to draw the unsaved. He is greatly to be praised! "So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase." - 1 Corinthians 3:7 I give God all the glory, because without Him, I am nothing. Thank you for the encouragement, WalkingTalkingBible |

The bible doesn't say "ask" but uses the word covet (have earnest desire) in 1 Corinthians 14:39. (Let me save you some time by saying - I know, I know, "don't write stuff that's not in the bible"). Does one have an earnest desire without asking for the object of desire? I don't believe that asking for the gift of prophesy is ruled out. WalkingTalkingBible |

BradK, I have to thank you for your response and your clarification! No need to apologize, I think we are just learning the different ways that God uses us! I'm glad to know I have a "real" brother in Christ. WalkingTalkingBible |

BradK, I hate that you judge that I am arrogant and spiritually superior, just because I stand for what I know. I'm not better than any other human. But what you are saying - and I don't think you mean to be this way - is that what we (ones who are operating in the gifts and experiencing God) are lying. I only asked you questions - I really want to know the answers! Also, I see you as my brother in Christ and sometimes we learn from each other, this is a learning way. I've said before, there are no diplomas in holiness - only God knows it all. I don't mean to be ugly when I say this, but if you are only reading and studying the word and going by what well known theologists are saying, you ARE missing something. Please don't think that I am lying or some false teacher just because I have a personal relationship with God. I asked you before in another post - Do you KNOW God (felt His presence, heard His voice, as a healer, etc)? I'm concerned because there are going to be a lot of souls that will not enter into God's kingdom because they don't know Him, but only of Him. Would I be right if I knew something was bad for someone and didn't tell them? No way! I'd be no better than the one that laid the trap. There's a popular phrase that says, "don't knock it until you've tried it." God has a purpose for you too, just ask Him to show and I guarantee, He will. He will show you the signs and gifts if you really desire to know. I want to share this with you - then I'll shut up. Before I spoke in tongues, I was very skeptical. I wasn't allowed to teach Sunday School because others hadn't heard me speak in tongues (and we're not even Pentacostal!). I started to look for ways to justify myself (also, I used to hate prophetic nights - just didn't seem real) and believe it or not, I found them in the Bible! But when I asked God to show me the truth, He did! One of the gifts I so badly hated in my ignorance and selfishness, He gave it to me. So, I'm not just talking out of what words, orthodoxy, and what theologists say, the Word is operating in me. We all have a purpose. WalkingTalkingBible |

He said to ask for the gift of prophesy, so that's one we can choose :-) | ||||||

"But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:" If I may ask: so, you don't believe that someone else has spoken in tongues as a gift or as the Spirit gives utterance because you haven't? How do you praise God? When (or if) you're praising Him, do you stay poised and dignified? Remember King David? When he brought the Ark of the Covenant back home how he danced and praised God until his clothes fell off? Remember how God handled David's wife because she talked him down for being given over to the Spirit? Have you ever praised God like that? The people in the upper room and the others on whom the Holy Spirit was poured, weren't they drunk with the Spirit? How can you give totally over to God and not let Him have His way? Isn't that quenching the Spirit? Or are todays s-aints too dignified for that type of praising, worship, and thanksgiving regardless of what Jesus did? God tells us to be "drunk with the Spirit" and if you're drunk, you're out of YOUR mind. I admonish you to do more than know what the Bible says and all of the legalisms that comes with theology and get to know God. You'll do more than sing "Amazing Grace" and "What a Friend" every Sunday - you'll also find He's much more than some words in a book. WalkingTalkingBible |

Hi, Sheila, I agree with you. The Holy Spirit is God and He can do so much more to win souls than "give a word" which is what seems to be popular in today's churches (not the Church - the Church does things God's way).The enemy is a liar and have blinded the minds of some - I'm very concerned and I pray for those because I hate to think what else he's lying to them about. "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." - Matthew 7:6 WalkingTalkingBible |

54 | can a baby sin | Bible general Archive 2 | WalkingTalkingBible | 122378 | ||
In addition to the verses Norm has given, I'll give James 4:17 again. A baby sins, but is not accountable because he is incapable of knowing right from wrong. Someone who knows to do right is accountable. Babies have to be taught and disciplined to know right from wrong. Just like when one is newly converted, or born again, he has to be taught, trained, chastised to know how to live according to the word of God. However, just because one doesn't know it is sin doesn't take away from the fact that it is sin. WalkingTalkingBible |

56 | Only for the early Church? | NT general Archive 1 | WalkingTalkingBible | 122328 | ||
Hi, Rowdy! My position, my point, my question is, How has the Holy Ghost changed? Why is it now believed that only the early Church was empowered by the Holy Ghost to work miracles and have spiritual gifts? "I am the Lord, I change not." - Malachi 3:6a Yes, I know many (one very personally) who God uses to heal, cast out, speak and interpret tongues, whatever means of deliverance the soul needs according to the leadership of the Holy Ghost. I don't know what "sherking" means and I am aware that there are many false teachers, but God is living! Is it because the Holy Ghost is not actually dwelling within, as some claim? It seems that if the we all had the Holy Ghost we would be all with one accord (granted there are different levels of faith). We would have the same concerns and compassion for others as God has. It takes more, for some souls, than giving them a word and telling them you'll pray for them. It takes more than a ministry that tells people what they should do, it takes deliverance and if the Holy Ghost dwells within, then the power needed is there. Maybe you're thinking of the TV evangelists that put on a big show, healing and doing whatever. I'm talking about bringing souls to Christ and helping them be delivered from strongholds and curses that they were bound to as unbelievers and wrestle with as believers. Tim Moran has given you some great points in his posts. I know, personally, that God doesn't live in us so we can sit back and do nothing in the lives of others. I, personally, get my hands dirty. I know that without God, I am nothing, but I can do all things through Christ, Who strengthens me! Like Tim stated earlier, people are doing things their way - programs and stuff. But the true Church will do things God's way! I've concluded, from some of the posts of other forum participants concerning miracles, signs and wonders, that: 1) they think little of God OR 2) they think He's different from the God of the early Church OR 3) they don't know God Many know what the Word says literally, but don't KNOW the Word. I'm concerned because the devil knows what the Word says but he will not put It into action! "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost" 2 Corinthians 4:3 WalkingTalkingBible |

Hi, Rowdy, how is the Holy Ghost different in the apostles as in other believers? "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." - John 14:12 There's only one way to get power from God and that is to have Him living on the inside and totally yield to Him. Humans don't have power, all power comes from God (Matthew 28:18). Even the apostles were powerless until they were filled with the Holy Ghost. Faith moves God, period, and without faith, it is impossible to please God. Who can God use today to work miracles and do as Jesus did? True believers who are willing to believe and be used by God. God doesn't discriminate, He doesn't have favorites. He loves us all and whoever is willing to do His will are the ones He'll use. There's nothing new under the sun, the same issues then, we have them now. People are in need of deliverance, but there are too many professing that will sit back and say, "I'll pray for you" or quote some Scriptures instead of getting their hands dirty and leading these souls to Christ. There are many souls who we come in contact with: oppressed , depressed, sick, and tormented; the Holy Ghost is much too powerful and loving to only give these people the Word. God knows that it takes more than giving the Word and praying for some, that's why He promised to live in believers. Anyone can quote some Scriptures - even satan knows the Word of God. When was the last time he layed hands on someone to heal them? Probably the same time some of the professing only s-aints. It's sad how today's religion and intellectual theologists have put God "in a box." All of a sudden, the Holy Ghost is powerless and the works done in the early church no longer exists. I invite every professing saint to ask God to fill them with the Holy Ghost and give them the mind (or heart) to have compassion for these souls out here - to be willing to do more than talk the Word, but also do the Word. You'll find that your relationship with God is much more rewarding when He's using you for the purpose He created you. WalkingTalkingBible |

59 | How do we understand these words? | John 6:63 | WalkingTalkingBible | 122234 | ||
Hi, Aixen7z4, what Angel has said I also agree with completely. You pose some very good points in your posts. One is the Bible translation. I want to encourage you to use whatever translation the Holy Ghost leads you to use (He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him). I agree with you totally: we must wait on Him! You also asked, "What happens when we do not wait for understanding, but turn away instead?" Paul was inspired to write in 2 Timothy 4:3-4, "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." The enemy of our souls is not concerned with which way we turn, as long as it is away from the truth. Patience is so important to our spiritual walk with God. Hebrews 10:36 says, "For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise." Because of the lack of patience (and a lot of pride), souls are being deceived. Thanks for giving us something important to think about. . . WalkingTalkingBible |

Thanks, jcsav, and you're right, the True Church hasn't changed. That's why when a spiritual truth is spoken, it is causes much persecution. But I rejoice! Broad is the way. . . and I'm going to stick to the truth as opposed to what I think and what theology and religion says. I believe that after the truth has been given, it's up to the individual to choose. I agree, also, that God always will have a Witness. Many are called, but few are chosen. WalkingTalkingBible |
