Dear Chaplin, Any time friend, I'm glad to share the joy. Sometimes even in the desert there are showers from heaven. And don't feel alone, most days I cant buy a clue. ;-) Good to have you here, I hope you stick around. 2 Pet 1:2 "Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;" God bless.

1483 | the lives of the riches and the poor. | Deut 7:9 | stjohn | 189312 | ||
Hi Rawr, Welcome to the forum! One of the paradoxes of Christianity is we can be poor as dirt and happy as a lark! Even in sorrow and strife, we can find peace and joy In Christ. What a great God we have! Amen? Is 55:12 "For you will go out with joy And be led forth with peace; The mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you, And all the trees of the field will clap their hands. God bless. John |

1484 | OT reference like Matthew 6:1-4 ? | Matt 6:1 | stjohn | 189311 | ||
Thanks sister Cheri. That is pretty good, but I don't know if that really is what he was arter as it doesn't refer to pleasing men and not God. I think that is the jist of that verse. "Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven." Thanks for trying! God bless. John |

1485 | Wandering in the Desert | Exodus | stjohn | 189306 | ||
Dear chaplin. On reading your post my heart goes out to you my friend. I too have been through the desert, and such a darkness can overtake us when we do not keep our eyes on Jesus. He is the answer to all our problems. He is the one who will get you through it. By His grace alone was I able to get through my desert and It has brought me closer then ever to our blessed saviour. He is so wonderful and merciful, and His loving hand is always there to lift us up in a time of need if we only look to Him for our strength. Just always remember, Phil 4:13 "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." and it is the Spirit of Jesus Christ who strengthenes. May God bless you and keep you in His wonderful light my friend. God bless. John |

Hello InGodITrust, I have noted the you have quoted from Wikipedia. I don't know if you are aware of the fact the it is a user edited encyclopedia. I mean no disrespect, and the information the you quoted seems verry good but I would just like to give you a heads up. Here is a few quots from an article by a former edeter of encyclopedia Britannica. Here is the URL so you or anyone who would like can read the whole thing. http://www.techcentralstation.com/111504A.html God bless. John ------------------------------------------------------ "Let's first see what they intended to create. The general FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page tells us: "Wikipedia's goal is to create a free encyclopedia --- indeed, the largest encyclopedia in history, both in terms of breadth and depth and also to become a reliable resource." Note the adjectives, and the order in which they appear: • free • largest (breadth) • largest (depth) "and also" • reliable This statement of purpose must be taken with at least a grain of salt, however, because it, like everything else on the Wikipedia site, is editable, by anyone. We can take it that the statement represents the view of the last person to modify it, and those of unknown others who have chosen not to modify it further or to "revert" it, in the lingo, meaning to return it to a prior state. It is entirely consonant with other statements on the site and with instructions given to volunteer editors and copy editors: "In other words, the process allows Wikipedia to approach the truth asymptotically. The basis for the assertion that this is advantageous vis-à-vis the traditional method of editing an encyclopedia remains, however, unclear." "As anyone can edit any article, it is of course possible for biased, out of date or incorrect information to be posted." One person's "knowledge," unfortunately, may be another's ignorance. To put the Wikipedia method in its simplest terms: 1. Anyone, irrespective of expertise in or even familiarity with the topic, can submit an article and it will be published. 2. Anyone, irrespective of expertise in or even familiarity with the topic, can edit that article, and the modifications will stand until further modified. "The user who visits Wikipedia to learn about some subject, to confirm some matter of fact, is rather in the position of a visitor to a public restroom. It may be obviously dirty, so that he knows to exercise great care, or it may seem fairly clean, so that he may be lulled into a false sense of security. What he certainly does not know is who has used the facilities before him." Robert McHenry is Former Editor in Chief, the Encyclopedia Britannica, and author of How to Know (Booklocker.com, 2004). |

1488 | Which Disciple was Jesus cousin | Gal 1:19 | stjohn | 189252 | ||
Hi S Even though John is written about in the new, he fits into the old. He falls into a long line of messengers/prophets. He is a messenger pointing the way to the coming of Jesus, the [Kinsman Redeemer] who was introduced to us way back in Genesis. In fact, John was Introduced to us in the Old Testament. Is 40:3 A voice is calling, "Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God. God bless. John |

Thank you Searcher, I know very well what a cousin is. I did not say that they were [first] cousins, nor did I even say that they were second cousins. In fact, I was not specific as to what degree their cousinship was, only that they were cousins. Please see the definition for cousin. I will pace it here again for your convenience. By definition Jesus and John were Cousins. Please note definition [2] and [3] Jesus and John's relationship would fit at least one of these definitions. If it does not fit number [2] then it most certainly fits number [3] ----------------------- American Heritage Dictionary, cousin n. 1] A child of one's aunt or uncle. Also called first cousin. 2] A relative descended from a common ancestor, such as a grandparent, by two or more steps in a diverging line. 3] A relative by blood or marriage; a kinsman or kinswoman. -------------------------- The Bible does not tell us that two and two equals four, but we know by using our noodles that it is true, so even though the Bible doesn't specifically say so. We can still know that they were Cousins, even if not first or even second.... It seems to me we are splitting hairs here, so if you incist, you can say that they were not cousins if you need to. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to clear that up, I didn't realize it was unclear. God bless my friend. John |

1491 | Which Disciple was Jesus cousin | Gal 1:19 | stjohn | 189244 | ||
Hank, John was the last of the Old Testament Prophets. Would that make him a disciple? I don't know, you tell me, I'm not sure if that qualifies him as a disciple. He obviously was not an apostle, and I'm sure that he was what I would call an Old Testament prophet, and surely the last of them. Are disciples exclusively the Church? I would say that I [think] not. So maybe by the broad definition he was a disciple. But I would not necessarily call him a disciple. A disciple is a follower of Christ and his teaching and one who obeys His commands. Did John Follow Christ? What do you think? :-) God bless. John |

1492 | As saints can we be exempt? | Rev 13:7 | stjohn | 189225 | ||
Dear M.Royal/M.Cowell; It is becoming more clear to us hear at SBF, and there have been many now that have tried to show you some polite protocol as to how we brethren are to treat one another and you choose to ignor the advice. Also, It has been pointed out to you that you have contradicted yourself on a few occasions and you seem to ignore that issue and fall back on [It is written] as if that would clear you of the charge. May I say that you should go back and study the whole Bible before you try to teach Revelation. One thing you have missed is the fact that one does not have to be in the Church to be a Saint. There are Old Testament Saints, that are NOT the same group as the Church, just as there will be Tribulation Saints that will NOT be the same group as the Church. Please stop, you are belaboring you point. We know, [I think] that is if you don't contradict yourself again, that you believe that the Church will suffer at the hands of the antichrist. Great!.. We get it! .. OK? .. You win! .. Now, will you please give it up? May I also suggest that 1 Corinthians 4:6 applies as a swinging door....... It goes both ways! God bless. John |

1494 | bible say anything re: dinosaurs? | Prov 16:4 | stjohn | 189207 | ||
Dear Lionheart; Please read my post carefully before you correct. I did not site Job 4:10 -11 I did however site, Job 41:1-10 hear it is, you can read it yourself and tell me please what it is referring to? the word in v1 is Leviathan not [leviathen] by the way, and you can look it up in the Bible dictionary for your self. And, if you [read] my post carefully you will see that I did not make any claim's. I did however say that [some say] it reefers to dinosaurs. Thank you anway for your response. Job 41:1 "Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord? 2 "Can you put a rope in his nose Or pierce his jaw with a hook? 3 "Will he make many supplications to you, Or will he speak to you soft words? 4 "Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him for a servant forever? 5 "Will you play with him as with a bird, Or will you bind him for your maidens? 6 "Will the traders bargain over him? Will they divide him among the merchants? 7 "Can you fill his skin with harpoons, Or his head with fishing spears? 8 "Lay your hand on him; Remember the battle; you will not do it again! 9 "Behold, your expectation is false; Will you be laid low even at the sight of him? 10 "No one is so fierce that he dares to arouse him;" God bless brother.

Howdy OldPilgim, Yes, that verse in Job 1:6 does indeed refer to Angles as the Son's of God. I agree, no problem whatsoever.. However, do you think that [fallen] Angels, followers of Satin, would be referring to the Son's of God?.. And, certainly if the son's of God are Good Angels...... What where they doing fornicating with Humans? That would make them bad Angels.. Would it not? Ether way you cant convince me that The Son's of God are Fallen Angels, not at all, not in this instance. Sorry I just cant accept it. And again, Our Lord said, when referring to the dearly departed, "they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven." He clearly indicated that the Angels [do not marry], nor are they given in marriage..... And again, how can we call the fallen Angels and followers of Satin/The devil,... Son's of God? Humans possessed by evil spirits, are The Son's of God-?! ... I am Sorry, I just don't see that as a viable option. And like I said about the giants being the offspring of Humans and Angels, Well, I think something that fantastic would be mentioned more then once, especially sense there is a good few instances of giants in the bible. My opinion of corse; but I am quite certain that we would have heard more about them being the offspring or decedents of Fallen Angels and Humans, and the inference in that one verse is pretty vague.. Anyway,... Fallen Angels,.. Son's of God? I don't know about that? You may ask. Why then does God/Moses chose this time to mention Giants?. Well, I don't know, I guess we can ask Him/him someday. ;-) Thanks for the response OldPilgram, I appreciate you being here at the forum. I've always liked Old Pilgrams. ;-) God bless. John |

Hello, InGodITrust It is good to see you back at the forum, and in business! So to speak, I appreciate your learned counsel and hope all is well my friend. Well, I'd like to give my two cents on this one if I may, and I mean no disrespect I can assure you. I often find myself in disagreement with a particular bit of commonly accepted scripture in a disputable area, and when I look around I can see plainly that I am among brethren that believe in the same Gospel as I do, so even on the occasion of disagreement I often find myself in good company. I'd like to add that I consider you very good company. Having said that, I'd like to address the title of [Son's of God] in this verse. It seems to me, that Son's of God could not or should not be given to [fallen] Angels. A fallen Angel would not in my opinion be a [Son of God] he would be a son of the devil, or Satin. Would he not? So, I have a hard time accepting that view. Also, I don't think that the grammar of verse 4 would dictate that, as many believe it does. In v 4, "There were giants on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God lived with the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. Keeping in mind, that when Moses wrote there was no breakdown in the structure of scripture into sentences, it would seem that the statement "There were giants on the earth in those days" Is simply that, its just a statement that there were Giants in the land. There were giants in Joshua's day as well, and I don't think that Scripture says that they were the offspring of fallen Angles. And, after Moses writes that he says; and I think we should take note of this, [and also afterward] In other words like saying, and after this you know down the road a bit we have, "when the sons of God lived with the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown." Well it looks to me that he, Moses, might be simply saying, that the Son's of God are in the line of Able and the Son's of men are the son's are in the line of Cain. I believe, that these men were mighty men, and, men of renown, but I don't see them as the giants in the first part of this verse. This might also imply that someone today that is considered a giant, might be the offspring of a fallen Angel and I believe this could foster prejudice against them and would not be fair to them to imply that, just because they are big. Nor do I believe they [the mighty men of renown] are the son's of fallen Angels. Also, Jesus says in Mark 12:25 "For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven." Also I'd like to add that I agree with the premiss that someone who is possessed by a demon can have offspring, they still would be hard-pressed to call themselves Son's of God, even though they may be the spirits of fallen Angels. I hope that was worth two cents. ;-) God bless. John |

Hi God's elect, Thanks! And amen! "proclaiming his name, mercy, grace and love for his people" I pray that I too can be bold in word, and give testimony of God's salvation of grace, through the sacrifice of The Lamb of God; Jesus Christ, His beloved Son. And I forgive you for doing what I also do. I'm guilty as much as you are, and more. I get excited too! And, I am a bit hot to give my opinion without remembering to be Graceful and loving, as I should, because He commands it. We sometimes forget that God is more patient then we are... As far as I can see, the world is ready for judgment right now. But, when we look at the way God waits for the lost, like He did for Nineveh, I think it was about 200 years after He past Judgment on them, before it actually came to pass. And he waited 400 years, for the inequity of the gentiles to be complete, when he sent Israel into Egypt for that time, and again in the time of Noah when He said in Gen 6:3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." It looks like that's how much longer He waited to bring the flood, so He is patient beyond what we would be for sure. Sometimes I think, what is he waiting for. Well, He waited for you and me to come along, and He will wait as long as He want's to for others to come along as well. Don't you think? Nonetheless, I want to be ready to move if He calls, right now. Well, thanks again God's elect, I enjoy having discussions with you. God bless. John |
