Pam also told a story about a 20 yr old who had an abortion at 18 wks where the doc went in w.tongs to rip the baby apart. Apparently while ripping, he ripped part of her bowel, she was rushed to hosp for emergency hysterectomy and now has to go to bathroom in a bag for the rest of her life besides being sterile. Yeah, abortions are safe... | ||||||

63 | Please answers my points | Deut 5:21 | Norrie | 32715 | ||
I thought I saved some articles where it showed them parading around a statue of Mary, declaring the year for Mary, etc. but I can't find them now. :( | ||||||
64 | Why is there suffering? | Job | Norrie | 28860 | ||
Maybe because it is part of the curse for Adam's disobedience. Also trials and suffering make us stronger. | ||||||
65 | Are the poor expected to repay debt? | Prov 19:17 | Norrie | 14378 | ||
I would say that anybody who borrows money should pay it back. But when you lend to someone who is obviously poor, chances are they will not be able to pay you back. A good rule is never lend anybody more than what you are willing to give them because you will prob end up giving it whether you want to or not-been there, done that! :) | ||||||
66 | tender of sycamore tree | Amos 7:14 | Norrie | 10479 | ||
We just finished studying Amos in Sunday School. In Amos 7:1-9 Amos witnessed 3 visions of judgment against Israel-locusts, fire and plumb line. He cried out for intercession and twice the Lord Spared the people. By the third vision, Amos learned that the people would not change and therefore would be judged by God. There is a conflict between Amaziah who is a priest at Bethel in Amos 7:10-17. Amaziah accused Amos of conspiracy against the king but did not address the problem of the spiritual corruption. The priest was more loyal to the king than God, in fact, he was an appointed priest, not even a Levite. What was going on was that Jeroboam was the Northern King but God said to worship in Jerusalem and gave them the instructions on how to worship properly. Uzziah was the king in Jerusalem so nat Jeroboam didn't want his people going there so they set up worship places in Bethel and other places that more or less worshipped God the way the pagans worshipped, even had temple prostitutes, they were def. not worshipping God as He commanded. Anyway, they didn't like what Amos was saying and ordered him to go. They didn't care what God wanted, only what they wanted. But they thought that Amos was a professional prophet, they seem to have had them at the time, seems there was even a prophet school or a prophetic order, nat these guys would only prophesy what was popular, maybe kinda like the psychics today, anyway, Amos didn't want to be associated with them. The only reason Amos was prophesying was God said to and it made him very unpopular, otherwise, he was just a poor farmer, scratching a living. That's what Amos meant when he said he was not a prophet or a prophet's son, but he was a herdsman and a gather of sycamore fruit. Amos was basically a poor intenerant farmer who followed the sycamore harvest, tended sheep, he was just basically a nobody that God used. Amas did not let them intimidate him, he kept on preaching what God said to preach. |

67 | Does God hate divorce? | Mal 2:16 | Norrie | 11908 | ||
God may hate divorce but He hates other things more, like abuse or adultery, He also hates murder, sexual sin, etc. He hates sin period but we still do it. :( | ||||||
68 | I'm still un-clear... | Mal 2:16 | Norrie | 31081 | ||
If she decides to leave, then you'd be in the clear, but until then... | ||||||
69 | Can an offering be money? | Mal 3:8 | Norrie | 10842 | ||
You are right, an offering is anything over and above a tithe. Now we just about have to do money offerings. Back in Biblical days, they all tilled the land and such, we mostly live in cities and money is the fruits of our labor. :) | ||||||
70 | Why Were They Shut Out? | Matt 25:12 | Norrie | 11079 | ||
I've heard that the story of the 10 Virgins corrolates to the rapture, some are going and some are not. It's up to each individual to be ready, I can't be ready for you and vice versa, it's something you have to do on your own. The part about why didn't they share, it reminded me of the ant and grasshopper story. Why should someone who does what's right have to share with someone who doesn't care, would rather do their own thing, then when times comes, try to mooch off the one who worked for what they got? Isn't there even a scripture about he who doesn't work, doesn't eat? |

71 | Only church members can be baptized? | Mark | Norrie | 64401 | ||
It's hard but not impossible to find a way to get baptized w/o church membership. I'd been a christian for about 7-8 yrs before I got baptized. No church would baptize me because I didn't want to join their church. I was praying about getting baptized. I went w/my aunt on a retreat and they did baptisms there, it was a non-denom place. They were going to use a creek but ended using a swimming pool that had been covered all winter...:) | ||||||
72 | Unlawful to pick the heads of grain? | Mark 2:24 | Norrie | 16906 | ||
I heard my pastor preach on this one time. Seems it was just one of those man made rules the Pharisees were so famous for making, kinda like the one where you can't spit on the soil on the sabbath because that would be irrigation but you can spit on a rock. He had a list of ridiculous rules but I forget most of them. :) | ||||||
73 | Adam's rejection not blasphemy? | Mark 3:30 | Norrie | 119074 | ||
Maybe Adam's sin was more stupidity than outright rebellion??? | ||||||
74 | Adam's disobedience? | Mark 3:30 | Norrie | 119128 | ||
I would think the premediatation factor. , this wasn't no spur of the moment thing, and Adam kinda got caught up in the moment to me but what do I know. :) I have read a good novel about that recently tho. If you like to read Christian novels, Chronticles of the Host by D Brian Shafer were really good. |

75 | JOHN THE BAPTIST KILLED | Mark 6:14 | Norrie | 19125 | ||
Herod was the one who had John jailed. What did Jesus have to do w/that? Herod was the king, not Jesus. | ||||||
76 | Where have all the dead prophets gone? | Luke 16:19 | Norrie | 11115 | ||
Jesus is the only one in Heaven with a glorified body, everybody else is in Heaven spiritually, that is their spirts are there, even the OT prophets and believers. Remember the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus? The dead were either resting in hell or Abraham's Bosum. The one's in Abraham's Bosum went to Heaven after Jesus paid the price. | ||||||
77 | Father and Jesus relationship before man | John 1:1 | Norrie | 24834 | ||
John 1:1-5 | ||||||
78 | and the word was God | John 1:14 | Norrie | 10846 | ||
This is a great explanation of the Trinity of God. Another is water, water can be liquid, solid or vapor but it's still water. I hope you can understand this. There is one God, a trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Heart of God is the Father; the face of the Father is unveiled by the Son; the Voice of God is heard thru the Holy Spirit;--- the Hand of God is laid open through the Church. You can maybe better understand the concept of trinity is if you can understand that you are a trinity. You are a spirit, you have a soul (mind, will and emotions) and you live in a body. It's your spirit that gets reborn when you accept Jesus but you still live in the same body and think the same. Accd to Rom 12:2 we renew our minds to line up w/the spirit. We have to bring our flesh into subjection too, then we have our soul wanting to go one way and our spirit another. I hope I'm not confusing you, but it's our spirits that live forever, either w/God or w/o Him. |

79 | spirit/soul | John 1:14 | Norrie | 11078 | ||
OK, I'm not an expert, going on what I've had taught here. Sometimes soul and spirit are used interchangeably but sometimes they are not. Your spirit is your inner you that lives on forever, it is what has to get reborn. Your soul is your mind, will and emotions, it is what has to be retrained or brought under submission. Romans 12 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. This refers to your mind or the soulish realm, it is where you think and feel at. Your spirit gets reborn but your soul does not. If you think a certain way, you have to work or train yourself to think different, you bring it into submission-understand? There are many scriptures that they are used interchangeably, but many that are separate, I don't know the original language words so someone who does will have to do a research there but a few passages where they are used separately are: 1 Thessalonians 5:23 1 Thessalonians 5 1 Thessalonians 5:22-24 Blessing and Admonition Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hebrews 4:12 Hebrews 4 Hebrews 4:11-13 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. |

80 | Created for heaven or hell? | John 3:16 | Norrie | 11168 | ||
I know the answer to this! I just asked this, look up Calvinism which holds that view and Arminian which is opposite view under search. You can get views from both sides. I personally believe John 3:16 and the World is all, not a prechosen few. :) | ||||||
