201 | Will there be marriage in heaven? | Matt 22:30 | kalos | 180174 | ||
Will there be marriage in heaven? 'The Bible tells us, “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven” (Matthew 22:30). This was Jesus’ answer in response to a question concerning a woman who had been married multiple times in her life – who would she be married to in heaven (Matthew 22:23-28)? Evidently, there will be no such thing as marriage in heaven. This does not mean that a husband and wife will no longer know each other in heaven. This also does not mean that a husband and wife could not still have a close relationship in heaven. What it does seem to indicate, though, is that a husband and wife will no longer be married in heaven. There is likely no purpose for marriage in heaven since there is no procreation or loneliness.'

202 | Ignorance, wilt thou yet foolish be? | Prov 26:12 | kalos | 180170 | ||
Ignorance, wilt thou yet foolish be? (From "The Pilgrim's Progress") Ignorance then said, "You go so fast I cannot keep pace with you; do you go on before: I must stay a while behind." Then Christian and Hopeful said: “Well, Ignorance, wilt thou yet foolish be, To slight good counsel, ten times given thee? And if thou yet refuse it, thou shalt know, Ere long, the evil of thy doing so. Remember, man, in time: stoop, do not fear: Good counsel, taken well, saves; therefore hear. But if thou yet shalt slight it, thou wilt be The loser, Ignorance, I’ll warrant thee.” The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan Christian Classics Ethereal Library www.ccel.org/ccel/bunyan/pilgrim.html |

203 | "His name was Ignorance..." | Prov 26:12 | kalos | 180169 | ||
"His name was Ignorance..." (From "The Pilgrim's Progress") Here, therefore, they met with a very brisk lad that came out of that country, and his name was Ignorance... When Christian saw that the man was wise in his own conceit, he said to Hopeful whisperingly, “There is more hope of a fool than of him.” (Prov. 26:12.) And said, moreover, “When he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool. (Eccl. 10:3.) What, shall we talk farther with him, or outgo him at present, and so leave him to think of what he hath heard already, and then stop again for him afterwards, and see if by degrees we can do any good to him? Then said Hopeful, “Let Ignorance a little while now muse On what is said, and let him not refuse Good counsel to embrace, lest he remain Still ignorant of what’s the chiefest gain. God saith, those that no understanding have, (Although he made them,) them he will not save.” HOPEFUL: He further added, It is not good, I think, to say so to him all at once; let us pass him by, if you will, and talk to him anon, even as he is able to bear it.

205 | "For to us God revealed them..." | 1 Cor 2:10 | kalos | 180151 | ||
For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. 1 Corinthians 2:10 NASB 2:10-16. The wisdom that saves, which man's wisdom can't know, is revealed to us by God. He makes it known by revelation, inspiration, and illumination. Revelation (vv.10,11) and inspiration (vv.12,13) were given to those who wrote the Bible; illumination (vv. 14-16) is given to all believers who seek to know and understand that divinely written truth. In each case, the Holy Spirit is the divine agent doing the work (compare 2 Peter 1:21). (MacArthur Study Bible, John MacArthur, 1997, Word Publishing) AMPLIFIED 2 Peter 1:21 For no prophecy ever originated because some man willed it [to do so--it never came by human impulse], but men spoke from God who were borne along (moved and impelled) by the Holy Spirit. |

206 | Eye has not seen, ear has not heard... | 1 Cor 2:9 | kalos | 180148 | ||
But just as it is written, "THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM." 1 Corinthians 2:9 NASB 'These words from Is. 64:4, often incorrectly thought to refer to the wonders of heaven, refer rather to the wisdom God has prepared for believers. God's truth is not discoverable by eye or ear (objective, empirical evidence), nor is it discovered by the mind (subjective, rational conclusions). (MacArthur Study Bible, John MacArthur, 1997, Word Publishing) |

207 | as above | 1 Cor 6:18 | kalos | 180147 | ||
If it is true that all sins are the same, then that leaves only two alternatives: 1) Either Jesus did not know what He was talking about in John 19:11; or 2) Jesus neither said what He meant nor meant what He said. Are all sins the same? 'The Bible gives us some guidance on this. It teaches that not all sins are the same. Some are more egregious than others. This is very clear in the Scriptures. Jesus said to Pilate, "He who delivered Me up to you has the greater sin" (John 19:11). According to Jesus, some sins are greater than others. 'Common sense alone tells us that stealing a pencil is not as serious a crime as taking someone's life. Make no mistake, it's still a sin, and even a small sin is enough to make us guilty before God. But all sin is not the same to God. He certainly does make distinctions.' ____________________ Source: www.str.org/free/commentaries/ethics/lie.htm |

208 | Will there be marriages in heaven? | Matt 22:30 | kalos | 180144 | ||
In 1 Corinthians 2:9, indeed it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him." But in the very next verse (v. 10) it goes on to say: But GOD HAS REVEALED THEM TO US through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. (NKJV, emphasis added.) |

Eternal security, not eternal presumption Doc, I like the way your pastor put it, "Once changed, always changed." I also like the way one preacher put it: The Bible teaches eternal security, not eternal presumption. Gracia y paz, John |

Wiley, It is you who sees what you want to see and who doesn't even try to see what we are saying. You show me in the Bible where you are right. Merely believing that a thing is true does not make it true. And to say God condones that which he does not condone is to misuse the name of God. John |

You're not Adam and she's not Eve. Nor are you God. By that I mean pronouncing yourselves married or making believe you are doesn't make it so. I suggest you take the money you saved by not having a wedding, spend it on a Bible, and read it. Then read it again. Finally, we need to be extremely careful not to misuse the name of God. |

215 | Whom baptizes with the Holy Ghost | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 180045 | ||
You write: "Answer to the reply to my question. some one left a note saying that Jesus is the Holy Ghost. That being true how do you answer John 20:22?" But that is not true. Jesus IS NOT the Holy Ghost. There is one God in three persons -- not one God in one person. The question would be better worded, "IF IT WERE true that Jesus is the Holy Spirit, then how do you answer John 20:22?" But it is NOT TRUE. Moreover, Paul never baptized anyone with the Holy Spirit. Paul's breath never was the medium God used to baptize anyone. No one except Jesus Christ has the authority to baptize anyone with the Holy Spirit. Asuba, I really appreciate you and your posts and I encourage you to ask whenever you have a question. Grace and peace, John |

217 | Holy Spirit without evidence of tongues? | Acts | kalos | 180014 | ||
Revised 11-23-2006 Most of my life since childhood, I have belonged to and attended a major Pentecostal local church and denomination. I am now a member of a church that is part of that denomination. At the age of 14, two years after God saved me, I was *filled* with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave utterance. Later in life, after years of studying the Bible, I could no longer go along with my denomination's doctrines of the "baptism of the Holy Spirit", being filled with the Spirit, and speaking in tongues, which somehow got all mixed in together. Was my experience valid? Yes, it was. Did I actually receive the gift of tongues at age 14? Yes, I did. Do I believe the initial physical evidence of being baptized by OR filled with the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues? No, I don't. A prominent Pentecostal writer (Ralph M. Riggs) wrote: "The BEST evidence of the fullness of the Spirit is A CHANGED LIFE" (emphasis added). Do all speak in tongues? The implied answer in 1 Cor 13 is no, not all speak in tongues. I now understand that I was baptized INTO the body of Christ BY the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 12:13) when I was saved (born again). At the same time, I began to be indwelt by the Spirit, as are ALL believers (Rom 8:9) On the night that I spoke in tongues, what happened? I was filled with (controlled and empowered by) the Holy Spirit, received the gift of tongues, and began to speak in tongues. Was I baptized by the Holy Spirit that night? No, that had taken place 2 years earlier when I first trusted Christ for salvation (2 Cor 2:13). My point is that I had an experience -- a valid experience -- in which I spoke in tongues for the first time. I continue to speak in tongues as I have for the last 42 years. But there are no exceptions to this principle: We don't prove the Bible by experience; we prove experience by the Bible. That is, we do not need experiences to prove that the Bible is true. We need the Bible to determine whether our experiences are true, whether they line up with the clear teaching of the Word of God. If they don't, then they are not of God. Even though I speak in tongues, I cannot ignore the clear Biblical teachings on being baptized by the Holy Spirit, being indwelt by the Holy Spirit, being filled with the Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit (including tongues), and the proper use of the gifts according to 1 Corinthians chapters 12-14. I still believe tongues to be a valid, current gift of the Spirit. I do not believe that tongues have ceased, as some do. Yet I abhor some of the Pentecostal and charismatic excesses that are contrary to Scripture, the misuse of the gifts, and just plain bad doctrine about the gift of tongues and the baptism by the Holy Spirit. |

Benny Hinn IN HIS OWN WORDS - Quotes - 'I am a 'little messiah' walking the earth' Benny Hinn, "Praise-a-Thon" on , November 6, 1990 'Adam was a super being when God created him. I don't know whether people know this, but he was the first Superman that really ever lived. First of all, the Scriptures declare clearly that he had dominion over the fowls of the air, the fish of the sea - which means he used to fly. Of course, how can he have dominion over the birds and not be able to do what they do? The word "dominion" in the Hebrew clearly declares that if you have dominion over a subject, that you do everything that subject does. In other words, that subject, if it does someting you cannot do, you don't have dominion over it. I'll prove it further. Adam not only flew, he flew to space. He was-with one thought he would be on the moon.' Benny Hinn, Praise the Lord program on , December 26, 1991 'Man, I feel revelation knowledge already coming on me here. Lift your hands. Something new is going to happen here today. I felt it just as I walked down here. Holy Spirit, take over in the name of Jesus... God the Father, ladies and gentlemen, is a person; and He is a triune being by Himself separate from the Son and the Holy Ghost. Say, what did you say? Hear it, hear it, hear it. See, God the Father is a person, God the Son is a person, God the Holy Ghost is a person. But each one of them is a triune being by Himself. If I can shock you - and maybe I should - there's nine of them. Huh, what did you say? Let me explain: God the Father, ladies and gentlemen, is a person with his own personal spirit, with his own personal soul, and his own personal spirit-body. 'You say, Huh, I never heard that. Well you think you're in this church to hear things you've heard for the last 50 years?' Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn program on October 3, 1991 'God came from heaven, became a man, made man into little gods, went back to heaven as a man. He faces the Father as a man. I face devils as the son of God... Quit your nonsense! What else are you? If you say, I am, you're saying I'm a part of Him, right? Is he God? Are you His offspring? Are you His children? You can't be human! You can't! You can't! God didn't give birth to flesh. You said, "Well, that's heresy." No, that's your crazy brain saying that.' Benny Hinn, Our Position in Christ #2-The Word Made Flesh (Orlando: Orlando Christian Center, 1991), videotape #255. 'And let me add this: Had the Holy Spirit not been with Jesus, He would have sinned. That,s right, it was the Holy Spirit that was the power that kept Him pure. He was not only sent from heaven, but He was called the Son of Man - and as such He was capable of sinning... Without the Holy Ghost, Jesus would have never have made it...Can you imagine Christ headed for the grave, knowing He would remain there forever, if the Holy Ghost would change His mind about raising Him from the dead?' Benny Hinn, Good Morning, Holy Spirit (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1990), 135-36. 'Ladies and gentlemen, the serpent is a symbol of Satan. Jesus Christ knew the only way He would stop Satan is by becoming one in nature with him. You say, "What did you say? What blasphemy is this?" No, you hear this! He did not take my sin; He became my sin. Sin is the nature of hell. Sin is what made Satan... It was sin that made Satan. Jesus said, "I'll be sin! I'll go to the lowest place! I'll go to the origin of it! I won't just take part in it, I'll be the totality of it!" When Jesus became sin, sir, He took it from A to Z and said, "No more!" Think about this: He became flesh, that flesh might become like Him. He became death, so dying man can live. He became sin, so sinners can be righteous in Him. He became one with the nature of Satan, so all those who had the nature of Satan can partake of the nature of God.' Benny Hinn, Benny Hinn program on (December 15, 1990). 'My, you know, whoosh! The Holy Ghost is just showing me some stuff. I'm getting dizzy! I'm telling you the truth - it's, it's just heavy right now on me... He's [referring to Jesus] in the underworld now. God isn't there, the Holy Ghost isn't there, and the Bible says He was begotten. Do you know what the word begotten means? It means reborn. Do you want another shocker? Have you been begotten? So was He. Don't let anyone deceive you. Jesus was reborn. You say, 'What are you talking about?'... He was reborn. He had to be reborn... If He was not reborn, I could not be reborn, I would never be reborn. How can I face Jesus and say, "Jesus, You went through everything I've gone through, except the new birth?'

219 | "Touch not mine anointed" | 1 Chr 16:22 | kalos | 179892 | ||
"Touch not mine anointed" (Psalm 105:15) ____________________ "A close examination of this passage reveals that it has nothing to do with challenging the teachings of church leaders." ____________________ (Source: www.equip.org) 'Advocates [of authoritarian rule or unconditional authority for certain preachers and evangelists] assume that Scripture supports their view. Their key biblical proof text is Psalm 105:15: "Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm" (KJV). But a close examination of this passage reveals that it has nothing to do with challenging the teachings of church leaders. 'It first needs to be noted that the Old Testament phrase "the Lord's anointed" is typically used to refer to the kings of Israel (1 Sam. 12:3, 5; 24:6, 10; 26:9, 11, 16, 23; 2 Sam. 1:14, 16; 19:21; Ps. 20:6; Lam. 4:20), at times specifically to the royal line descended from David (Pss. 2:2; 18:50; 89:38, 51), and not to prophets and teachers. While the text does also mention prophets, in the context of Psalm 105 the reference is undoubtedly to the patriarchs in general (vv. 8-15; cf. 1 Chron. 16:15-22), and to Abraham (whom God called a prophet) in particular (Gen. 20:7). It is therefore debatable whether this passage can be applied to select leaders within the body of Christ. 'Even if the text can be applied to certain church leaders today, in the context of this passage the words "touch" and "do harm" have to do with inflicting physical harm upon someone. Psalm 105:15 is therefore wholly irrelevant to the issue of questioning the teachings of any of God's "anointed." (...) 'Finally, if any individual Christian is to be considered anointed, then so every Christian must be as well. For this is the only sense in which the term is used (apart from Christ) in the New Testament: "You [referring to all believers] have an anointing from the Holy One" (1 John 2:20, NIV). Thus, no believer can justifiably claim any special status as God's "untouchable anointed" over other believers.'
