422 | Please give me your take... | Bible general Archive 4 | azurelaw | 210667 | ||
Dear corrective, You say: I don't know Greek well, so I cannot comment on that, but if so, then most major versions are incorrect. I am afraid your above statement is too arbitrary. Please stick to the below terms of use of the forum: * Postings must be Biblically based and not opposing the Bible's sole authority (sola Scriptura), ... 2 Tim 2:15 Thanks and Shalom Azure |

423 | does satan know what is said in tongues | Bible general Archive 4 | azurelaw | 210666 | ||
Dear corrective, You say: I doubt that satan himself spends much time following just ANY Christian around; and would probably focus on those higher up in authority in the Church, and on those who do the most Spiritual warfare. Please give scriptural support to your above notion. Thank you. Shalom Azure |

425 | Phony Repentance | Hosea | azurelaw | 210327 | ||
Dear keliy, Welcome to the forum. Glad to see you do not act only as are silent reader, but also post on the forum and thank you very much for the sharing. The sad and foolish part is ... we always forget or are not satisfied with the fact that we are just a lump of clay. We either want to confront the potter's work or to take the potter's place. Amen to that "...every transgression we must repent, with a heart-felt promise to return completely to Him. Not for our benefit, but entirely for His glory." Hope you stay around and continue to share with us :-) Shalom Azure |

426 | Phony Repentance | Hosea | azurelaw | 210323 | ||
Our repentance must be authentic because phony confession will produce phony results. If you say that you repented before and God didn’t heal you, I would say that yours was a phony, external confession only. We find an example of a phony confession in Hosea 6:1-3, where God’s people say, "Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth." What do you notice about this confession? There is no mention of the sin these people had committed against God. They thought God’s grace is cheap and easy to obtain. But this is phony repentance, and it will not bring about true healing. Let me assure you, if you have not met with God and received your healing, you must conclude that your confession was phony and, therefore, there was no result. God refuses to heal, to change, and to transform us on the basis of externalism and superficiality. God himself says this in Hosea 6:4, "What can I do with you, Ephraim? What can I do with you, Judah? Your love is like the morning mist, like the early dew that disappears." In other words, theirs was not a heartfelt, enduring love for God. It was something they did in the morning but by noon it is gone. Thus, their repentance was fleeting and false, and such repentance will never bring true healing. We cannot fool God. --- P.G. Matthew |

428 | 1C6:9 Church position | 1 Cor 6:9 | azurelaw | 210232 | ||
Dear Adam's son aka writteninthebook aka Paul, Thank you for your prayer and it is much appreciated indeed :-) I don't want to be rude, but you should see how confusing and combersome the way to address you :-( It is for sure we all enjoy fellowship, breaking bread and learning with each other on the forum and I value it preciously. However, I do really hope that in order to show your integrity and sincerity, kindly explain to us the reason that you hold 2 user accounts on the forum - a clear violation to the Term of Use. Amen, to God be the glory with our words and deeds. Speaking the truth in love and Shalom Azure |

429 | Counting the Cost | Luke 14:28 | azurelaw | 210222 | ||
Dear Doc, It would not be a coincidence. Just last night (my time) I read of the monthly journal of Lutheran Theological Seminary which published some sharings made by the students who had finished their missionary trip to Indonesia (a country dominated by Muslim belief). One of the article titled "affliction" expressed the introspection of a student after he had the chance to have the first hand information and understanding about the persecution of the christians in Indonesia, the severe poverty, government corruption, etc. He said : [My translation] It is too easy and comfortable to be a christian in HK. Somehow, I am tempted to think I offer a lot for Christ just because I am called to study theology for future ministry. I can't help but truly ask myself 'What had I offered?" None! Nothing! I did not give anything, but just receiving...receiving the abundant grace of our God. If I were to face the same difficulties, will I still be faithful to my Lord? Awfully terrible that from the bottom of my heart, I shy away from the question. So touching...and convicting... Shalom Azure |

431 | Lean Hard | Ps 55:22 | azurelaw | 210204 | ||
It is by an act of simple, prayerful faith we transfer our cares and anxieties, our sorrows and needs, to the Lord. Jesus invites you come and lean upon Him, and to lean with all your might upon that arm that balances the universe, and upon that bosom that bled for you upon the soldier's spear! But you doubtingly ask, "Is the Lord able to do this thing for me ?" And thus, while you are debating a matter about which there is not the shadow of a shade of doubt, the burden is crushing your gentle spirit to the dust. And all the while Jesus stands at your side and lovingly says, "Cast your burden upon Me and I will sustain you. I am God Almighty. I bore the load of your sin and condemnation up the steep of Calvary, and the same power of omnipotence, and the same strength of love that bore it all for you then, is prepared to bear your need and sorrow now. Roll it all upon Me! Child of My love! Lean hard! Let Me feel the pressure of your care. I know your burden, child! I shaped it—I poised it in My own hand and made no proportion of its weight to your unaided strength. For even as I laid it on, I said I shall be near, and while she leans on Me, this burden shall be Mine, not hers. So shall I keep My child within the encircling arms of My own love. Here lay it down! Do not fear to impose it on a shoulder which upholds the government of worlds! Yet closer come! You are not near enough! I would embrace your burden, so I might feel My child reposing on My breast. You love Me! I know it. Doubt not, then. But, loving me, lean hard!" ---Octavius Winslow |

432 | Lights and shadows of spiritual life | Ps 39:13 | azurelaw | 210203 | ||
"Your sun shall no more go down; neither shall your moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended." "Beyond the stars that shine in golden glory, Beyond the calm, sweet moon, Up the bright ladder saints have trod before you, Soul! you shall venture soon. Secure with Him who sees your heart-sick yearning, Safe in His arms of love, You shall exchange the midnight for the morning, And your fair home above. "Oh, it is sweet to watch the world's night wearing, The Sabbath morn come on! And sweet it were the vineyard labor sharing Sweeter the labor done. All finished! all the conflict and the sorrow, Earth's dream of anguish over, Deathless there dawns for you a nightless morrow On Eden's blissful shore. "Patience! then, patience! soon the pang of dying Shall all forgotten be, And you, through rolling spheres rejoicing, flying Beyond the waveless sea, Shall know hereafter where your Lord does lead you, His darkest dealings trace, And by those fountains where His love will feed you Behold Him face to face!" --- Octavius Winslow |

433 | is marijuana against the bible | Rom 12:1 | azurelaw | 210202 | ||
Dear Adam aka written, I would like to echo with sister Cheri. It is very much appreciated to be given the chance to know more about you and I thank the Lord that you are always thankful to Him However, please understand that registration under 2 or more different accounts is in violation to the terms of use of the forum set by our host Lockman as far as I understand it. Please read the terms of use again and you may need to explain the reason for the double registration, else you may jeopardize yourself with both accounts revoked. Thanks and Shalom Azure |

434 | is marijuana against the bible | Rom 12:1 | azurelaw | 210180 | ||
Dear Adam, A belated welcome to the forum. Could you please cite scriptures that bear the Greek "pharmakia" in order that we may understand the biblical context when the word is in used? Meanwhile, I am afraid it would not be appropriate to presume the poster a marijuana smoker in search of biblical support just base on the short question which still lacks its clarity for proper answer. Shalom Azure |

435 | Being matchmaker | Prov 19:20 | azurelaw | 210124 | ||
Thanks for your reply, sdaone. Do you mean a matchmaker serves as a counselor? In what way? Could you please give more scriptures for the idea? The verse that you provided, as per my understanding, seems not addressing the issue directly. Thanks. Azure |

437 | Pleasing the flesh, robbing God's altar | Rom 8:5 | azurelaw | 209742 | ||
"Ah, flesh! when thou art yielded to, into what follies wilt thou not drive us, into what prostration of strength dost thou not hurl us? Pleasures and comforts, if sought as ends, are desperate drains upon the vigor of the spirit. When body is indulged, then the soul lies cleaving to the dust. It is not possible for us to pamper the flesh without, at the same time starving the soul. If we sacrifice unto our own lusts, we are quite certain to get the sacrifices by robbing God's altar. The body shall not have pleasure in sin, except the soul shall soon be in a state of misery and decay." --- C.H. Spurgeon |

Amen, brother Doc. Troubles usually occur when we lose our focus especially when the focus is on ourselves. Shalom Azure |

439 | Alter Calls? | Rom 10:9 | azurelaw | 209699 | ||
Dear Cheri, Oh, yes, sister. "ego" and "pride"...the trouble maker, the stumbling block, the sword that has no mercy to hurt oneself. I have to always remind myself to nail it dead onto the cross. Shalom Azure |

440 | confused about Noahs son | Gen 9:22 | azurelaw | 209625 | ||
Dear Rick, I see WOS has given you sound biblical reply. Please understand that the context of Gen 9:22 does not support your argument in association with Lev 20:11, 20. Shalom Azure |
