461 | OT reference like Matthew 6:1-4 ? | Matt 6:1 | skccab | 189309 | ||
Hi all This is the closest I could find: Deu 15:10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. Deu 15:11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. Cheri |

Yes, Kalos, I didn't even use His name YHWH as that had already been covered. I simply provided some attribute/names as possibilities. |

Shalom Cuddle, So you were transplanted to the Cleveland area? I was transplanted a little westward 6yrs ago, but I have never heard of this church, the IHOP. How do you like the church proper? But if you're right and the "oozing thing" is connected, you might be wise to look elsewhere for a place to worship. Cheri |

Shalom Mark, I second that motion. Much appreciated, well-written, very easily understood. I enjoyed reading this, as I, too, had presuppositions about that passage - you helped clarify it. Cheri |

466 | Can one be deceived that he is saved? | Matt 7:21 | skccab | 186466 | ||
Hi all, I'm gonna jump in here now with a very down to earth example. When I was born again I found over a very short period of time, without any effort on my part, that things that were "worldly" and an everyday part of my life - extremely vulgar language, screaming and hollering at other drivers on the road, pure impatience at checkouts, etc - just seemed to vanish. Poof!! It was other people around me that noticed it first, I was totally unaware of it. (Those were just a few examples, there were many other things, as well.) Could things like that be "evidences" that a change/renewal has taken place. Blessings Cheri |

467 | What is required to pass the test? | Matt 7:21 | skccab | 186469 | ||
Yes, brother, It just stands to reasons when we open ourselves to Jesus for salvation, we also open ourselves to the working of the Holy Ghost, and changes that can be seen occur (as well as what cannot be seen). What was second-nature before Jesus become foreign to us as we (often unbeknownst to us) take on a new nature. Blessings Cheri |

470 | mathew 10:11 | Matt 10:14 | skccab | 197033 | ||
Shalom Steve, It seems to me that verse 14 is after the fact. Just because a household would be deemed worthy to put the disciples up for their stay in the city doesn't mean they would accept the message - it just means that the household was Torah-observant (God had told them to welcome and take care of travelling strangers because they too had been strangers (Deut. 10:18-19). Cheri |

471 | mathew 10:11 | Matt 10:14 | skccab | 197040 | ||
Steve, Whether they would be called "Torah-observant" (that was just my choice of phrasing) just simply means they would be Jewish and followers of the commandments . But still verses 13 and 14 seem to be after the fact. And the question was "how would they KNOW who is worthy." That's what I was trying to answer - they would be someone who is observant of the commandments given by God to Moses. :-) Then if they received the message of the good news the disciples peace would remain, if not, the peace would not remain (verses 13 and 14). Cheri |

472 | mathew 10:11 | Matt 10:14 | skccab | 197048 | ||
Hey John, No, I was not answering as per the standards today, but of then. Obeying the commandments does not bring grace, favor, salvation, a closerness (word?), none of that - it's just commanded. I was using the criteria of then. A home that would be deemed "worthy" would be someone following the commandments because it was commanded that they take the stranger into their homes and treat them kindly because they were once strangers (out of Deut). THEN if they received the message of the good news the peace upon the disciples would either remain or leave with them. Not ALL Jews of that day would have been "observant" just like not all Christians are observant today. That's the distinction that I was making. Nothing more, nothing less. And for those reading along - being "Torah-observant" simply means that this is INSTRUCTION on how to live and treat others - and the Holy Spirit of Jesus gives the ability to understand the spirit of the Law (not the letter which is what the Pharisees understood so well). I hope this clears things up for you. Jesus saves!!! Torah lives!! :-) Cheri |

Shalom Steve, It looks like we're going to have to agree to disagree. I've given a reasonable answer to the question that was originally posed - "How would the disciples KNOW who/what house would be worthy?" You, as well, have given a reasonable argument to possibly shoot my answer down - but you haven't yet given an answer to the original question. What would be the criteria of a household worthy to host them and their message, what were they to look for, inquire about? :-) Cheri |

474 | mathew 10:11 | Matt 10:14 | skccab | 197070 | ||
Chuck, That's exactly what I said!! Deut. 10:18-19 tells the people to be kind to strangers (and a traveller would very likely be a stranger), to take them in, feed them and allow them rest for they were once strangers. And God is God over all. Cheri |

Dear Steve, I didn't mean to imply anything bad when I said "shoot down" the need for apology belongs entirely with me!! Very poor choice of wording on my part. I have never seen your posts as anything other than kind, gentle and full of graciousness. What I was stating was that someone observing the commandments of God would be the people most likely to welcome and house strangers traveling through the area for this had been commanded of them in Deut. 10:18-19. Shalom Cheri |

477 | least in kingdom greater than John | Matt 11:11 | skccab | 207382 | ||
Dear FlintyJoe, You said, "Read John 3:5 and notice who only can enter into the kingdom of God. Even assuming John was baptized in water, he was not baptized in holy spirit as Acts 1:5 clearly indicates. Holy spirit as Jesus stated would arrive at Pentecost." You're not saying that John wasn't saved I hope. Otherwise, where would that leave all the 'righteous' saints of old? Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Isaiah, Daniel, etc., etc.? Are you implying that these and so many others were in no way affected by the Spirit of God that they could not be saved? that no one, prior to those who died believing after Pentecost, is saved and in God's Kingdom? Scripture doesn't name specifically WHO was in Abraham's Bosom (Luke 16:19-26), but we do know that the righteous dead were kept there apart from the wicked dead. I'm sure John was among those who were there awaiting Messiah's arrival (he was just fortunate enough to have met Him!!!!). And baptism in water has nothing to do with the initial act of salvation, it's an outward act of obedience as a symbolic sign of a new birth, a new beginning, a new creature. The new birth/beginning/creature has already taken place. If baptism was critical to salvation I'm sure Paul would have busied himself baptising new believers (1 Cor. 1:17). If not, then alot of folks are going to have to rethink their doctrines and theology where the thief on the cross is concerned (Luke 23:39-43) also, don't you think? If I have misunderstood you, please forgive and pray my ignorance turn to enlightment :-) Just my 2 cents worth Cheri |

479 | What Value the Word | Matt 13:46 | skccab | 196963 | ||
Doc, Thank you so much! My heart needs to be broken more often for others not as fortunate as myself. I'm one of God's who is so very grateful to be in this country, and I abhor having to admit that as difficult as it is for me day-to-day I have it so much better than even some here in this country, and definitely better than many in other contries. And I didn't have to spill my blood to be here. When Azure said that people carry around individual booklets of the NT, I had never heard of that!! That's a marvelous idea! At prayers this afternoon, I know I have a lot to discuss with Abba. Cheri |

480 | How Holy Is Marriage? | Matt 16:6 | skccab | 213580 | ||
Shalom Alway learning, I've stayed out of this conversation so far, but maybe I can clear up at least one of your questions. You asked Val (and I'm sure she'll probably give you a better answer), "These things I write only to ask why is it these folks must turn away from and not practice “their” sin without considering our own “repetitious” sins? How am I justified in my adulterous marriage?" You made a vow before God when you married the first time (or maybe you weren't a true believer at that time and maybe I'm wrong but I don't think you can make a vow before a God that you don't know...?) but this marriage was also a vow that you did make before your God Whom you know, the King of the Universe. To break this vow would certainly be sin. The two people that you are concerned about have NOT made a vow before God. Do you see the differences? Your's and your spouse's union is in harmony with His word and will and vows have been made and accepted between the three of you. The two people in question are not in a union in harmony with God's word and will, no vows have been made before God, nor accepted by Him. I, too, have had many very good friends in that kind of a union (two of my bosses from years ago were married, in their minds, to each other; I roommated with a bisexual, a homosexual and one man who had gone thru the transexual operation all at one time - that was a very interesting year to say the least!!), so to a point I can feel what you're going through. These people are so deceived, have such dark blinders on, and the rest of the world's views only tend to deepen their blindness, and it just leaves those of us who care for them hurting, and seemingly at a loss...But our God is brighter than their darkness if we will just stand our ground. Love them, love them with everything that's in you, but in loving them, you don't have to accept and approve of their lifestyle. We have to stand strong in what the Word says. If we begin making allowances in one area, pretty soon, Christians will look no different from the world. Remember, God loves the homosexuals, not the homosexuality, the sinner but not the sin. Just like a heterosexual single person must live a celibate life - so must a homosexual live a celibate life (if they believe they cannot change - and that's something I won't dispute, I don't think anyone scientifically can). Sorry I couldn't help further, but from what I understand of your situation personally, you are not living in sin with your new spouse. Cheri |
