121 | Did David disobey? | 1 Kin 3:14 | Cyclist | 110260 | ||
Rowdy, Blessed be the Lord Jesus Christ who thought not of himself but gave His own life for us! Sorry for the delay in responding to you. Thank you for your post to my question. What you have written is interesting. I still do wonder why the Lord our God said ....."keeping My statutes and commandments, as your father David walked, ...... If I understand your response correctly, our hearts and minds need to be focused on the Lord and His will. Do you suppose that David knew that he was committing sin(s) while he was doing these things? or, Do you think that he was just so caught up in fleshly lust that he lost sight of the Lord? Obviuosly he tried to "fix it" himself by having Uriah killed. Alweays your brother in prayer and praise to the Lord our God, Cyclist PS - I need to update my prfile a little. Thanks for reading it! I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

122 | What prophet wept over another mans face | 2 Kin 13:14 | Cyclist | 51144 | ||
angelface, Cyclist here! All praise and glory and honor be to God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ who died for our sins! Praise Him forever more! Do one of these verses contain what you are searching for? (KJV) 2 Kings 8:10,11,12 10And Elisha said to him, "Go, say to him, "You shall certainly recover.' However the LORD has shown me that he will really die." 11Then he set his countenance in a stare until he was ashamed; and the man of God wept. 12And Hazael said, "Why is my lord weeping?" He answered, "Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel: Their strongholds you will set on fire, and their young men you will kill with the sword; and you will dash their children, and rip open their women with child." (KJV) 2 Kings 13:14 Elisha had become sick with the illness of which he would die. Then Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over his face, and said, "O my father, my father, the chariots of Israel and their horsemen!" Your brother in Christ, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

123 | Why should we obey God? | Psalm | Cyclist | 64096 | ||
Whatever, All praise and Glory and Honor be to God our Father who created the heavens and the earth and the seas and all that there is therein, all things seen and unseen, not made with hands, and, to His Son Jesus Christ who thought not of Himself but gave His life a ransom for our sins! Welcome to the Forum! If you are just visiting, Thanks for stopping by! This is a great place to study and learn about God's word! Just to add to mbooker's very good answer, I found in the New Testament, in John 15, some verses that give very good reason to obey God. I've listed a few but the entire chapter is good. Please read it and let me know what you think. John 15:4 "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. John 15:5 "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. John 15:6 "If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned. John 15:7 "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. John 15:8 "My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. John 15:9 "Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. John 15:10 "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. John 15:12 "This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. John 15:14 "You are My friends if you do what I command you. In the Love of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

124 | Why should we obey God? | Psalm | Cyclist | 64111 | ||
Whatever, The Lord is my rock and my salvation! I will praise Him in my heart with songs of praise the day long! You write:'"If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love" means God's abiding love is based on keeping the commandsments?. Sounds counter to Paul's overall message...Doesn't God Love all Christians the same?' God's greatest commandment(s) is about love: Matt 22:35 One of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, Matt 22:36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" Matt 22:37 And He said to him, "'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' Matt 22:38 "This is the great and foremost commandment. Matt 22:39 "The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' Matt 22:40 "On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets." 1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:8 The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. When Jesus came into my life this commandment of His in John 15 was and is not a commandment to me at all, no, I desire to love others and need to love others like I need to breath daily because He, even though giving me the commandment through the scripture, also gave me the desire and the satisfaction of loving Him and others. It is indeed a commandment that, if kept, is very rewarding. Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

125 | Where in the bible is... | Ps 22:3 | Cyclist | 81666 | ||
Greetings japii! I will praise the LORD my God while I live! I will praise the LORD my God every day! I will praise the LORD my God for His love and for His mercy and for His grace! I've heard these also: "God lives in the prasies of his people" and "When praises go up, blessing come down." I did an extensive search on these in the word of God. I found this verse in the KJV: "(KJV) Ps 22:3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel." Here is one example from the old testament where God blessed His children when He was praised: "(NASB) 2 Chr 20:20 They rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa; and when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Listen to me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, put your trust in the LORD your God and you will be established. Put your trust in His prophets and succeed." 2 Chr 20:21 When he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who sang to the LORD and those who praised Him in holy attire, as they went out before the army and said, "Give thanks to the LORD, for His lovingkindness is everlasting." 2 Chr 20:22 When they began singing and praising, the LORD set ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; so they were routed." I have never been able to find anything in scripture worded this way: "God lives in the prasies of his people" and "When praises go up, blessing come down." Maybe some one else here on the forum can help us if they know of any other scripture that we missed. Blessings to you in Christ Jesus our LORD and Savior, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

126 | Why seek healing for this flesh? | Ps 46:10 | Cyclist | 75310 | ||
Dear Forum Family, Blessed be the name of the Lord our God and His Son Jesus Christ forever more! Praise the Lord for His love and mercy and grace! Praise the Lord for He is good to His children! Praise the Lord for His patience with His children! Let everything that has breath praise the name of the Lord! Praise Him from the mountain tops! Praise Him from the valleys! praise Him! It's been quite a while since I've visited. Without going into any long details, I have been very busy! I have a question for those of you who are my elders and my brothers and my sisters on this forum (I pray that those of you whom I consider my elders or Brothers or Sisters know who you are.) Here it is. Even though this body I have been given is in great shape (I spend at least ten hours per week excercising it and the doctor tells me "I wish all of my patients were in as good of shape as your are, except for....."), there exists a cuouple of malfunctions. Sparing you all of the details, I was taken from my office to the emergency room on Wednesday morning. Woops! Got so caught up in all of that, I almost almost strayed away from posting my question! WHY SEEK HEALING FOR THIS BODY? Please, please don't get me wrong. I get annual physicals and that on my own, it is not required for my permenant illnesses. And, I do always go to my physician when having problems. When I read the holy word of the Lord my God I so desire to be with Him in His kingdom! Again, don't misunderstand me please, I haven't gone off my rocker, not yet anyway. Why seek healing for this flesh that will not inherit the kingdom of God? I know that the Lord our God has blessed us with some very good doctors, but, I'm having difficulty understanding the purpose. Honestly, it seems sometimes that the closer I am to death, the happier I am because I will be with the Lord forever. Again, I'm NOT CRAZY! Never the less, If here (on earth) is where His desire is for me, then here I am happy to be. Blessed be the Lord forever! I posted a couple of scriptures below. Please I pray you my friends, help me understand through the word of the Lord our God. I am thankful for each one of you! Bless you as you prayerfully consider your answer(s) to me. Your input is very important to me on this issue. Col 3:1 Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Phil 1:23 But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better; I always pray for you my friends. Always your brother in Christ Jesus our Lord, David (Cyclist) I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

127 | Why seek healing for this flesh? | Ps 46:10 | Cyclist | 75705 | ||
mommapbs, I begin each day on my knees with my hands lifted up and with a heart of thanksgiving I praise the Lord my God! Praise be to Him forever more! Blessed be His holy name! Sorry for the delay in responding to your post which I found to be very helpful and encouraging, THANK YOU! This is the very reason I thank our Lord for this forum family! One other post that really helped me was one from Searcher. He posted James 5:14. I read James 5:13, 14, 15 and was suprised to learn that I may actually be directed to ask for healing of this body that the Lord has given me to use on this earth. James 5:13 Is anyone among you suffering? Then he MUST pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises. James 5:14 Is anyone among you sick? Then he MUST call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; James 5:15 and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. Notice the word MUST in these verses (I capitalized). I haven't asked to be prayed for by the elders of the church nor have I asked the Lord to heal me. Thanks be to God for His word! I called the elders the very next day. I have always prayed for others to be healed but never this body. Praise be to God, I am now free from the pride that has always said "Spend time heal others Lord but don't spend time healing this body" or "Lord if it be possible take the infirmity fom the one suffering and give it to me". What a fool I have been in this! Well, He is very loving and merciful, and, I have recieved correction, hopefully as a good son and and forgiveness and am now asking for this body to be healed so that I may continue the work He has for me to perform on this earth. A work am so very honored to perform for Him! Blessed be His name forever! Always your brother in praise and in prayer and in the loving spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in mouth! |

Dear brother Emmaus, The Lord is my strength and my fortress! The Lord never fails! He alone is worthy of all praise and glory and honor! Thank you dear brother for the nice note. As I wrote in my post to mommapbs, I have never asked the Lord for healing for the body He has given me to use. I now know from my dear friends on this forum that I have every right to and am directed to ask for healing in His word (Searcher posted James 5:14). Praise the name of the Lord! I am honored to call you my elder in Christ dear Emmaus. Always your brother in Christ our Lord, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

I positively love that particular verse and have been searching for it! WOW! What a wonderful God we serve! Your brother always, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

In the Andes and McGracer, Praise be to God our Father and His Son Jesus Christ to whom all power has been given in Heaven and earth! Just a note, please keep in mind that I am no expert, to say that I am so very THANKFUL for the gospels! Most of the scripture verses that were quoted to me by the person who led my to Jesus were from the 4 gospels. McGracer, You write to Emmaus: "Therefore, to insist that the Gospels have primacy over the rest of NT scripture displays your ignorance (not an insult, but a lack of knowledge)" Let me tell you that even though you say you did not mean this as an insult, I viewed it that way. You have been part of this forum a whole 4 days. I suggest McGracer that you "click" on the author "Emmaus" and view ALL POSTINGS BY THIS AUTHOR and then post, as I'm sure you will, an apology on the comment about Emmaus' ignorance, or lack of knowledge as you say it. My dear brother Emmaus, I am so thankful for you. I have read as many of your posts as time has aloud me and have learned much. Thank you for being part of this forum, and, the family of God. Many bleesings to you Emmaus! In Christ Jesus, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

Mc Gracer, You write: "He implied that the gospels are the words of Christ and that the rest of the New Testament are the words of mere apostles and men." I do not see this implication in his posting. You also write: "We should know what we are talking about and be able to back it up with scripture before we label someone else's view as "Bull!" (which Emmaus has done)." Again, I STRONGLY earge you to read at least some of Emmaus' postings before you question his knowledge of scripture. I agree that using the term, or, word "Bull" in this case could have been out of line, and, actually this matter is really none of my business, not trying to back-pedal just stating a fact, but, does labeling someone's view as "ignorant", oh, you meant "lack of knowledge" really help or does it just stir up more contention. Prov 6:16-19 There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:..........And one who spreads strife among brothers. Let it not be said of you and I my brother. Finally, forgive me McGracer and please let me start over if you will. Welcome to the forum. I have been a part of it since February 2002 and LOVE IT! I have grown more in these last 5 months than I have in 20 years! The children of God that are part of this forum are wonderful! If I might suggest, and keep in mind this is my own opinion, that you use the "quick search"(upper right)on any subject and read prior postings by other authors, especially; Mommapbs, Hank, Ray, EdB, Tim Moran, Searcher, Markarios, and Prayon. Not saying that these folks are "better" than any other, but I have found them to be blessed by God with knowledge of the scriptures. God bless you, and, again WELCOME to the forum! In the love of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

I look forward to reading more of your postings, and, sharing with you on the forum. Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |
