383 | Our Goal | Mark | BMyers | 203023 | ||
Nasty inner ear infection. I went to bed feeling fine. Got up this morning and went to get out of bed, room started spinning, and passed out. I then started losing supper from the night before. After a couple of attempts to get up and kept passing out and then vomiting, I had to agree it was time to go to the hospital. Next thing I know I was on the way to the hospital via ambulance, had head ct to make sure I hadn't damaged anything (yes it showed I had nothing up there (didn't need an expensive test to prove that)). ED doctor gave me medicine to stop the vomiting and help get the dizziness under control. So, I now have medicine and will have to let it run its course, so I have to take it easy for the next couple of days. As long as I don't change positions quickly, the dizziness isn't to bad. That was my exciting morning. Could of done without it, but thankfully it isn't anything serious, just nasty little bug in my ear. Brad |

384 | Our Goal | Mark | BMyers | 203021 | ||
Yes, you are correct. How do we accomplish this? MK 12:30 AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.’ In this, we will find that our purpose will be to bring glory to Him. In th process of bringing glory to Him, our fellowship with Him grows. How much more glory can we bring to God, but by making Him master of all? (I think I said that correctly, I've not had a good day with trip by ambulance to the hospital this morning.) Brad |

MK 12:29 Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD; MK 12:30 AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.’ MK 12:31 “The second is this, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Brad |

387 | Prophet touched on the rib by God? | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 202984 | ||
I don't think most (myself included in that category not long ago) how subtle little changes in the way you phrase something can make a huge difference in what it truly means or how the meaning can be changed. I think many good Christian people who are trying to live by the Bible don't completely understand how important that we make sure we understand and grasp the meaning of the Bible and not try to make the Bible mean what we want it to. Our Pastor has such a passion for this and I'm very thankful that he does, because up to six months ago I wouldn't have approached the Word of God in that manner. I still have ALOT to learn and I'm excited! A week doesn't go by without me learning something new. Now I have to get back to work. Brad |

388 | Prophet touched on the rib by God? | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 202983 | ||
Not a problem, I'm just glad we got it all figured out. You brought up an interesting point that we have been dealing with in our Wednesday evening Bible Study and that is dealing with translations and the correct interpretation of the Bible. Anyway, I could go on, but I guess I should get back to work. Brad |

389 | Prophet touched on the rib by God? | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 202976 | ||
Interesting, I don't know what is more interesting, the fact I remembered something correctly or the definition of prophet. I always thought of a 'prophet' as someone who was writing or saying inspired words from God. Never really thought of it as someone that has had a direct communication from God. So does that mean everyone Jesus talked to in the New Testament is a ‘prophet’? (There I go thinking too much again.) Thanks for the info, Brad |
||||||
390 | Prophet touched on the rib by God? | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 202972 | ||
I'm not aware of one. The only rib story that comes to mind is the Adam and creation of Eve. If my memory serves me correctly (which it has mislead me before) I think Islam refers to Adam as a prophet and this might be where you are hearing this terminology. To the best of my knowledge, it is not in the Holy Scriptures. Brad |

391 | Pampered servant, asset or liability? | Prov 29:21 | BMyers | 202944 | ||
Oddly enough, my first answer was that this is encouragement. Yet, you have to remember we live in a time that slavery is looked upon as bad (rightfully so (didn't want anyone to think I was advocating slavery)). At the time period this verse was written, slavery was a 'norm'. So, I checked two commentaries about this verse and they both state that this was a 'caution' about how to treat your slave. Brad |

392 | RESTRICTIVE KINGDOM | Bible general Archive 4 | BMyers | 202895 | ||
I'm not sure what you mean by restrictive kingdom? I've done a quick search and find no such term in the Bible. Can you give scripture reference on what you are referring to? Thanks, Brad |

395 | God love the senner but hate the sin | NT general | BMyers | 202823 | ||
As Christians we have challenging path to walk in a fallen world. I know that you feel that everyone was attacking you, but they weren’t attacking you, they were defending the Holy Scriptures. In a fallen world when everywhere you look someone is trying to compromise and soften the Scriptures to make them more ‘modern’, more ‘acceptable’, more ‘realistic’, more ‘worldly……you must be on constant guard. Even subtle little things, how something is phrased, can actually mean HUGE doctrinal and more importantly Biblical difference and compromise. Christians can NEVER compromise on the Word of God. I believe your best intentions were to encourage a father who is struggling with a lost child. This cuts to the heart of every parent, but imagine how much more it hurts the heart of our Heavenly Father. But even with all this pain, we cannot and must not compromise on the Word. I wish that I could express myself better, but this is not strong point of mine. I have to pray and leave the message I’m trying to get across to you in the good Lord’s hands. If any of my post has offended, that was not my purpose. I struggle, just like others, to make sure that I’m not compromising on the truth of Word of God, while still trying to communicate that passion for upholding God’s Word in a spirit of love. Brad |

396 | God love the senner but hate the sin | NT general | BMyers | 202822 | ||
You asked me to analyze your post. As you may or may not have noticed by my profile, I’m just a common man. I have no formal training in Biblical matters outside of what I have received in my church and on my own. If you are expecting a deep theological response, I’m sorry, I can’t give one, but I will give you my simple answers. I don’t know if you have ever read the book ‘How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth’ by Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart, but it has two quotes that I like: “A text cannot mean what it never could have meant to its author or his or her readers.” “Whenever we share comparable particulars (i.e., similar specific life situations) with the first-century hearers, God’s Word to us is the same as His Word to them.” The first issue I will raise is your interpretation of 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 1CO 6:9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 1CO 6:10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Your statement: “So do not think that your son is automatically excluded from "heaven" because he is currently choosing another way to express his sexuality. That is not what Scripture means when it says that homosexuals cannot inherit the kingdom of God” There are two things to look at, your definition of ‘kingdom of God’ and your definition of ‘sin’ (hamartia). The word for ‘kingdom’ in the New Testament is ‘basileia’. According to Expository Dictionary of Bible Words “Two particularly significant phrases containing the term basileia are “kingdom of heaven” and “kingdom of God”. These phrases are functionally synonymous and both refer to the dominion of God on earth and incorporate the heavenly realm as well.” According to Expository Dictionary of Bible Words ‘sin’ is “failing to meet God’s revealed moral, ethical, and ritual standards. The Strongest NASB Exhaustive Concordance, ‘sin’ is failure. The definition you give is hamartano which is to miss the mark, do wrong (NASB Concordance). Expository Dictionary of Bible Words defines hamartano as “senses of missing the mark that God has established as a standard for His people.” Based on the definitions that I read, ‘kingdom of God’ does very much involve heaven. This being true, homosexuals will not be in heaven because they are not measuring up to God’s standard. Do we just give up then on homosexuals? No. Yet we have to understand God is Sovereign and we can’t change the ‘rules’ just because we don’t agree. God being sovereign is a difficult concept and one that is not easy for me to explain. I know that all my Pentecostal friends (yes I’m Pentecostal, born and raised Assembly of God) we push the ‘free will’ issue. Yet, from my limited scripture study, truly we don’t have a ‘free will’. (I can see the rocks being picked up now.) How to explain this without writing a book…..the best short answer I can give you, is we are born sinners. We want to follow the sinful nature. We have no desire to come to light, but to stay in the darkness. The desire to come to the light comes from the Holy Spirit working in our life. Without the Holy Spirit working in our life, we would never seek out the light. (This is the best short answer I can think of right now.) Your statement: “Therefore, we must stop labeling people as "sinners." And we must stop condemning people because they fall short in some particular area where we happen to be strong. I don't struggle with homosexual tendencies... but there are plenty of other things I do struggle with. And until I have mastered all my struggles and can hit every target without fail, then I have no place to criticize or condemn anyone.” You are both right and wrong in the above statement. Let’s deal with the right first. We should not be condemning people. You are correct we should be loving people. Yet we have to be careful not to love their sin. There is nothing wrong with calling sin, sin. Does it offend people when you point out their sin? YES! Just walking up to a person on the street and saying you are sinner, might just get you punched in the nose. Dealing with an individual has to be Spirit led. As stated earlier, the ‘sinner’ isn’t going to want to just walk right into the light. We have to make sure that we let the Holy Spirit do its job and we do ours. Yes that involves loving the sinner just as Christ did, but it also involves making sure we don’t compromise because (how to phrase this)……we are so caught up in the ‘love thing’. (Hope this is making sense.) (read second post, ran out of room) |

397 | God love the senner but hate the sin | NT general | BMyers | 202782 | ||
gospelcompilation take a chill pill. First, you are accusing people of twisting and not researching the Word of God. I have read your post and their post. So, far as I can see, I have to side with them. You are the one who has failed to search the scriptures and apply them in context. Based on the doctrine of Sola Scripture, a person compares the doctrine that is being stated to the scripture. If the doctrine doesn't align with the Scriptures, the doctrine is false. Your statements don't align with the scripture. Are you being asked to prove yourself? Yes! Yet this is not new and should not be looked as an attack. Anyone making a claim in the name of Christ should be able to prove him or herself with the unchanging Word of God. I'm glad you think so highly of yourself as comparing yourself with Christ for not giving any proof, but I don't know who you are or anything about you. I have to go by the Word of God and your words are not matching this. I'm sorry you haven't found this forum helpful, but I'm proud in the fact that forum has stood firm and not compromised the Word of God. Today's society is all too quick to compromise the Word of God to be politically correct. Unfortunately, the forum is sometimes a hard medium to communicate in. Most of us (me being the biggest one) do not have the mastery of the English language as we should and at times can make it difficult to communicate points in a written format. Hopefully through your prayer time the Holy Spirit will open your eyes and you will see that hate and deceitfulness was not the purpose of the forum members here, but standing for the uncompromising Word of God was the goal.

Welcome Mr. C, I have just been reading through the post and seen that several members who have given you scripture to adequately support the Bible's view of homosexuality and sin. To answer the question if God loves the sinner, and He does (otherwise we would all be in trouble (Romans 3:23). How do we know that God loves the sinner, John 3:14-21 JN 3:14 “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; JN 3:15 so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life. JN 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. JN 3:17 “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. JN 3:18 “ He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. JN 3:19 “This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. JN 3:20 “ For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. JN 3:21 “But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.” As we can see Jesus didn't come to condemn us, but save us. The 'fall of man' has already condemned us to death. RO 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Does your son have to give up homosexuality to get saved? No (everyone put down the stones). Yet, once your son is saved, he will start walking in the light and the old sinful nature will be washed away. He will be a new creature in Christ and his lifestyle must reflect this change. Let me give you an old example, but one that I like. You take a bath to get clean; you don't get clean and then take a bath. Currently your son is a slave to the sinful nature of man. He cannot change himself. How many people have you seen that have tried to make themselves a 'better' person but failed. The power to change from one's sinful nature is not something we have in use, but comes from the grace of the Almighty God through His son Jesus Christ and we are empowered by the working of the Holy Spirit in our life. Jesus never asked a sinner to clean-up their act before he offered to change them, but once He changed them, He told them to go and sin no more (John 8:11). God loves your son more than you do (which is hard concept to grasp). I've tried to figure out how God could love my own daughter more than I do yet when I remember how he sent His Son to die for my daughter the concept slowly sinks in. Thank God for His willingness to love me even when I was a sinner. Now I'm a blood bought child of God. Am I perfect? No and I still make mistakes, but I work hard with the help of the Holy Spirit (John 16:7-11) to try to walk in the light. To summarize the post, God loves us all and does hate the sin and the destruction that it brought upon His creation. You don't have to get 'cleaned up' to become a child of God, but once you start 'your bath' the old nature must go. Your son’s lifestyle of homosexuality is an abomination to God, but he still loves your son. Prayer for your son and yourself that the Holy Spirit will work in your son’s heart and give you the words of wisdom you need to guide him from the darkness into the light of Christ. Brad |

399 | Who was Moses' father? | Exodus | BMyers | 202721 | ||
mrsnicolelane, Thanks for correcting my mistake. I will have to be more careful with my posting. EX 6:14 These are the heads of their fathers’ households. The sons of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn: Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi; these are the families of Reuben. EX 6:15 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman; these are the families of Simeon. EX 6:16 These are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon and Kohath and Merari; and the length of Levi’s life was one hundred and thirty-seven years. EX 6:17 The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, according to their families. EX 6:18 The sons of Kohath: Amram and Izhar and Hebron and Uzziel; and the length of Kohath’s life was one hundred and thirty-three years. EX 6:19 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their generations. EX 6:20 Amram married his father’s sister Jochebed, and she bore him Aaron and Moses; and the length of Amram’s life was one hundred and thirty-seven years. EX 6:21 The sons of Izhar: Korah and Nepheg and Zichri. EX 6:22 The sons of Uzziel: Mishael and Elzaphan and Sithri. EX 6:23 Aaron married Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab, the sister of Nahshon, and she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. EX 6:24 The sons of Korah: Assir and Elkanah and Abiasaph; these are the families of the Korahites. EX 6:25 Aaron’s son Eleazar married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers’ households of the Levites according to their families. EX 6:26 It was the same Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, “ Bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their hosts.” EX 6:27 They were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt about bringing out the sons of Israel from Egypt; it was the same Moses and Aaron.

It is a sign that your neighbor's dog is running loose. As for as the Bible goes, to the best of my knowledge, no white dogs in the Bible. Brad |
