681 | Why can't I speak in tongues yet ? | Acts | azurelaw | 204284 | ||
Dear Tamara, Thank you very much for your clarification. No, surely not offended. Whether I am offended is never my concern. Hope by now you are more familiar with the feature and function of the forum. If you still have any problem with it, please do ask. We are very willing to help. When I first joined the forum, just like you that I did not know how the system works, I figured them out myself by reading more, trying all the icons more, I think that is real fun like treasure hunting instead:-) If a CI (computer idiot) like me can manage it, I am sure you can, too! 1 Cor 13:4 Love is patient... Shalom Azure |

682 | Help! Unclean vs clean meat? | Acts | azurelaw | 205114 | ||
Dear LRP, Just got the time to really think about your question and go through a bit of the responding posts to you. I agree with brother Doc's comment that all food are clean to be eaten. The guidelines given in Levite was for the Jews. Some study (I couldn't remember the source) holds the view that it was partly because of the historical, environmental, social and cultural background of the Jews in consideration of their health concern. But I don't see scriptural support on this though I find it reasonable to pose such speculation. However, I believe Gen 9:3-5 strongly support that all food is clean to be eaten whether or not they are Jews. Shalom Azure |

685 | Is there always the evidence of tongues? | Acts | azurelaw | 223335 | ||
Dear Brother Lionheart, One thing always puzzles me is that why people so much concern on the issue of speaking in tongues. This subject, I would say, could be classified as the top 10 frequently discussed topics on the forum. Paul admonished us to desire the greater gifts (1 Cor 12:31) - faith, hope and love, for all the other gifts will be done away (1 Cor 13:8-13). May we always remember all gifts are for edifying members of the church and building up the body of Christ for His glory ONLY. Shalom Azure |

Dear Fmp, Thank you for your response. After reading some of your posts, they puzzled me a lot and I would hope you may clarify my below questions. I also hope that you may retrieve the relevant post in order to avoid any possible misunderstanding:- 1/ From your post 235909, it appears that you don't like to be labelled. However, I would like to ask would you be offended if I call you a Christian? "Christians" was a label given to the disciples in the 1st century (Acts 11:26). On the other hand, why do you then label other forum members as non-christian with the statement "as far as i can determine I am the only Christian on this Forum". (Though you did not specifically said so, but the statement does bear such implication) Do you think you are not acting according to your own belief? I don't think labelling is a problem as long as it rightly describe and define the subject. I am a woman. You are free to label me "woman" for it is a correct label. You may also label me "Chinese woman" for I truly am a Chinese. However, if we meet face to face and I did not make myself clear and you label me "Japanese woman" it only reveals that you don't know me, but I don't feel offended for your ignorance for I understand that Chinese and Japanese have a lot of similarity in the appearance. Therefore, I would politely correct your wrong perception on me. But I certainly will not complain that you are labelling me! 2/ In your post 235909 you said: "I used wikipedia for the difinition of theology simply because it is non-basis unlike the web site you quote..." I think you mean "non-bias" instead of non-basis. Let me remind you,when something is "non-bias" does not necessarily mean it is correct. By the way, if you go to the home page of wikipedia, it says that ANYONE CAN EDIT the "encyclopedia", in that case, how can one be sure if the information is correct or non-bias? The unknown editor holds no liability to it. If anything I said proves to be my misunderstanding, I sincerely hope that you may correct me. Lastly, if you truly believe and determine that you are the only Christian on the Forum, you may feel awfully frustrated for no one meets your mind nor in accord with your belief, i.e. no fellowship will be expected here. In that case, what is your purpose of posting here? Shalom Azure |

Oh, Steve, Luckily the user is a boy (I presume). Don't put the question in such a straight forward manner to a lady!!! :-) Shalom Azure |

Oh, yea. What hit me is: ...but gives grace to the humble. I should be more gracious to "humble--", too. :-) Shalom Azure |

Dear Steve, I began to wonder how CDBJ was led by the Holy Spirit to prophesy with James 4:6 earlier. Isn't it amazing? Shalom Azure |

"When you come to knowing God, the initiative lies on His side. If He does not show Himself, nothing you can do will enable you to find Him. And, in fact, He shows much more of Himself to some people than to others - not because He has favourites, but because it is impossible for Him to show Himself to a man whose whole mind and character are in the wrong condition. Just as sunlight, thought it has no favourites, cannot be reflected in a dusty mirror as clearly as in a clean one." "You can put this another way by saying that while in other sciences the instruments you use are things external to yourself (things like microscopes and telescopes), the instrument throught which you see God is your whole self. And if a man's self is not kept clean and bright, his glimpse of God will be blurred..." - C.S. Lewis |

Dear Brother Lionheart, Thanks for your kind words and your scriptural supplement to my note. Somehow, I wonder is it sensible for a person to argue on something that he does not think it exist. Shalom Azure |

Dear johnboy, It's sad for me to see your seeking under a wrong motive. Maybe you've found YOUR truth, but we definitely found "THE TRUTH". Mat 5:8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Pray for your soul. Shalom Azure |

697 | When and where was the Pentecost? | Acts 2:1 | azurelaw | 204058 | ||
Dear Tamara, It looks like a bit that you are playing "guess who?" I am a CI (computer idiot) but I found this web site simple and easy for me to handle and it is user friendly for me, too. Try this one as a demo. Click on the subject title "When and where was the Pentecost" on the main page, scroll down to the bottom, you see a number of posts attached to this title thread. I believe while you were expecting an answer from Sam, whom you have responded to, Mike jumped in to give his comment. Then you replied to Sam as you thought it was him. Funny that Mike answered you instead of clarifying it. Did I make it clear or just causing more confusion? :-) Shalom Azure |

698 | Holy Spirit Gifted to All Christendom | Acts 2:32 | azurelaw | 242235 | ||
Dear Brother Doc, In echo to your excellent quote, this is what our choir has offered on this Petecost:- Hymn to the Trinity (P. Tchaikovsky) Blessed angel spirits offer praise undying, Ever crying Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth. Saints and Martyrs praise Thy Name, Trinity life-giving, Earth-borne sorrow leaving before Thy throne, Ever crying Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth. Father omnipotent, mighty in glory, Christ Thy Son, our Saviour Who died that we might live. Holy Spirit, mystic dove, dwelling with us evermore, we praise Thee, we praise Thee, Blessed Trinity. With the Angels' sacred hymn, all Thy might proclaiming, with the mystic cherubim in songs of praise we join, Holy, Holy, Holy, join we all in songs of praise forever; Halelujah, Halelujah, Halelujah, Lord God of Sabaoth. Shalom Azure |

699 | what i personally think | Acts 2:38 | azurelaw | 193807 | ||
Dear Searcher, Good argument! The end do not usually reveal the cause. Just quote an old post of mine (183359) in support. "There are in fact cases of people receiving baptism for certain motives. To quote a real case I experienced, many years ago, a good friend of mine had herself and her daughter baptized into Catholic. She admitted that her purpose was to get a better chance (or an advantage) for her daughter to enter into a famous Catholic school. She went to church purposely with her daughter during the period of such arrangement, but never before or after the baptism was done. I felt so sad and worried about her for such cheating. I also know that it is only a corner of the iceberg in our society." Shalom Azure |
