221 | "JESUS ONLY!" Is He not really? | John 10:30 | GeorJoy | 101628 | ||
Many churches are founded and or pastored by Gifted, yet relatively unlearned individuals. SO, The best answer I can think of is in 2Ti 2:15; Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Like the book of revelations, many learned pastors avoid this topic. It is mind boggling to see how easily people are misled and remain ignorant simply because they “do not understand the bible.” The truth is that the greatest majority are simply too lazy to try to understand the bible. This makes them fair game to those who would attempt to teach them, when they themselves have never been taught. When you find a church that can teach the “trinity” in an understandable manor, chances are you have found a church that has a learned leader. Joh 10:30 I and the Father are one. God bless George |

222 | there is no jewishness in the church why | John 10:30 | GeorJoy | 101934 | ||
It is my understanding that the Jewish religion,(Judaism) teaches that we are still under the law of Moses; that they believe that Jesus was simply another prophet, not the messiah. They are still waiting for the messiah. Imagine how surprised they are going to be when that messiah returns! We Christians are NOT under the Law of Moses. Christ died on the cross to pay the penalty for the sins of all who call on him, repent and believe in Him. Christ was the fulfillment of the law. Jesus was and is the Christ. Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. If only they could, or would read the history that they are so proud to proclaim, for He and the events of His life are fortold over and over therein. He in the stumblingblock that was fortold. Christ freed us from the bondage of the law. Read the book of Galatians. It's only 6 short chapters. I should think that one of the Jewish faith wouldn't have anything good to say about this book. Particularly where Paul states that he wished that the "agitators" who were advocating the law would go the whole way and castrate themselves. In Christ Geiorge |

223 | Who are these removed branches? | John 15:6 | GeorJoy | 92551 | ||
Christ is the body. We are the branches. Per Matthew Henry's Concise commentary Joh 15:1-8 - Jesus Christ is the Vine, the true Vine. The union of the human and Divine natures, and the fulness of the Spirit that is in him, resemble the root of the vine made fruitful by the moisture from a rich soil. Believers are branches of this Vine. The root is unseen, and our life is hid with Christ; the root bears the tree, diffuses sap to it, and in Christ are all supports and supplies. The branches of the vine are many, yet, meeting in the root, are all but one vine; thus all true Christians, though in place and opinion distant from each other, meet in Christ. Believers, like the branches of the vine, are weak, and unable to stand but as they are borne up. The Father is the Husbandman. Never was any husbandman so wise, so watchful, about his vineyard, as God is about his church, which therefore must prosper. We must be fruitful. From a vine we look for grapes, and from a Christian we look for a Christian temper, disposition, and life. We must honour God, and do good; this is bearing fruit. The unfruitful are taken away. And even fruitful branches need pruning; for the best have notions, passions, and humours, that require to be taken away, which Christ has promised to forward the sanctification of believers, they will be thankful, for them. The word of Christ is spoken to all believers; and there is a cleansing virtue in that word, as it works grace, and works out corruption. And the more fruit we bring forth, the more we abound in what is good, the more our Lord is glorified. In order to fruitfulness, we must abide in Christ, must have union with him by faith. It is the great concern of all Christ's disciples, constantly to keep up dependence upon Christ, and communion with him. True Christians find by experience, that any interruption in the exercise of their faith, causes holy affections to decline, their corruptions to revive, and their comforts to droop. Those who abide not in Christ, though they may flourish for awhile in outward profession, yet come to nothing. The fire is the fittest place for withered branches; they are good for nothing else. Let us seek to live more simply on the fulness of Christ, and to grow more fruitful in every good word and work, so may our joy in Him and in his salvation be full. George |

224 | Was Mary an apostle? | John 20:18 | GeorJoy | 94982 | ||
She was not one of the original Apostles. However, all followers of Christ could be called, and should be Apostles. George |

225 | Was Mary an apostle? | John 20:18 | GeorJoy | 94987 | ||
"our thinking about women as messengers of the "good news" is heavily leavened, and not always within the realms of scripture. Look through some of my previous posts and you will see scripture concerning this subject. Per Mr W Leavened: to mingle or permeate with some modifying, alleviating, or vivifying element. This "element" is commonly mans interpritation. George |

229 | What scripture quotes name of "beloved d | John 21:20 | GeorJoy | 91443 | ||
I also have heard that John was "the disciple whom Jesus loved," however the scripture you quote only says that Peter "saw the disciple whom Jesus loved." This has sparked a topical study on my part. If I can find this post, I will note the exact scripture when found. I'm sure that with the spirit that there is in this forum, someone else will beat me to the draw, for I am currently on vacation. Not from the word. From the daily grind. George |

230 | What scripture quotes name of "beloved d | John 21:20 | GeorJoy | 91547 | ||
No. It dosen't really answer my question, for it does not state who, or which desciple "had leaned back on His breast at the supper." However, I have found the answer. It is not dirrectly addressed in scripture, and I am sure it is one that many will not understand. Consider the fact that in his gospel, "John" looks on himself as a third party. Keeping this in mind, one will find the answer therein. George |

231 | What steps would I take to get saved | Acts 2:1 | GeorJoy | 90492 | ||
Read and "study" Acts 2. I am in the same process at this very time. Then heed. George |
||||||
232 | What steps would I take to get saved | Acts 2:1 | GeorJoy | 90493 | ||
Actually, getting the Holy Ghost and getting saved are two completely different things. You labeled your post "What steps would I take to get saved?" Then you ask a completely different question? Both your answers are in Acts 2 as I previously stated, but I would suggest that if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your savior, you concern yourself with that topic first and foremost. First things first. One must first bake the cake before the icing is applied. George |

233 | IS MOSES GOD? | Acts 7:35 | GeorJoy | 90890 | ||
Exo 6:26 These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies. Act 7:35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush. Act 7:36 He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years. If you will notice, the Lord "did it" [through Moses.] George |

234 | IS MOSES GOD? | Acts 7:35 | GeorJoy | 90892 | ||
Exo 6:26 These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies. Act 7:35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? --"the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer"-- by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush. Act 7:36 He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years. If you will notice, the Lord "did it" [through Moses.] Moses was made [by God] to be (as God) to the Isralites. If you will read Exodus (then reread and study it,) you will understand much more.

235 | Why does NIV OMIT verses in KJV? | Acts 8:37 | GeorJoy | 86400 | ||
I love my NIV. I also feel that it is a truly inspired revision of the word and that the Lord led me to it. However, my faith in this particular version was just jolted when I was reading the book of Acts and discovered with the help of my "Henry Comentary" that it OMITS verses that are in the KJV. Specifically Acts 8:37. If as I have determined from my research, this is due to the dateline of the manuscripts, why is the OMITTED verse number simply skiped over, ie 35 36 38 rather than continued in numerical sequence? |

236 | Having yet not knowing one has | Romans | GeorJoy | 90042 | ||
Can one have recieved the Holy spirit and not know? I think so, but have no scriptural foundation. I know that "if understanding came before acceptance, we would accept very little in this life." However, one often accepts without understanding, even though he desires to understand, and that this is a hinderence at the very least. Please provide such foundation (not thoughts or opinion,)pro or con. George |

Ok. Many times, I have read what you have quoted. I see not an answer to my question therein. In my blissful ignorance, which is not due to any lack of biblical study, just a lack of study on this particular topic; I have determined that what I refer to is an additional gift such as is "wisdom, prophecy, toungs and the gift of interpritation." I know that there is a doctrinal issue here. I address this question only to those who are aware of and have experienced the utterance of toungs. Let me rephrase my question by replacing the word "spirit" with "ghost." Once again, I will reveal my ignorance by stating that although currently I have no biblical foundation for the following statement, I believe there is one. I (think) they, the Holy Spirit and The Holy Ghost are two completely different things. Correct me with scripture, if you will. Remove the splinter from my eye, (I AM NOT SAYING THAT ANYONE DOES, but) only if you have no mote in yours, please. Thanks George. |

Thanks for your response Morgah. It is not my intention to spark a debate the subject as to whether or not the Holy Ghost and the Holy Spirit are one in the same, for it is completely out of line with my question. However, based on my studies after having corrected my original wording of the question; not that it matters, but I would have to disagree with you, or rather, say that I feel that the word 'pneuma' may have simply been used metaphorically. In the KJV "Holy Ghost" is mentioned 89 times in the NT. O (zero) times in the OT. Whereas, "Holy spirit" is mentioned 4 times in the NT and 3 in the OT. Quoting from the KJV, John 7:39 says (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) Yes, the NIV replaces "Ghost with spirit." If one READS what it says in KJV, they will see that in Jn 7:39, it calls the Holy Ghost the spirit. The spirit which the believers were to receive, which hadn’t yet been given was the Holy Ghost. Considering the fact that the “Holy Ghost” had not been given yet, I can understand why it wouldn’t be mentioned in the OT. But, I believe it was mentioned therein, just not described as such. I think that if one will do as I have, (and do a “phrase” search on the two, and then study the verses they have searched out) they can but come to the same conclusion; That the Holy Ghost and The Holy Spirit are two completely different entities. Wouldn’t you consider that the word 'pneuma' could have been used metaphorically? Either way, this is beside the point, for I am convinced, and not here to debate that point. My question was, and is as follows; Can one have received the Holy GHOST and not know? I have yet to come to a conclusion based on scripture. George |

240 | Holy (GHOST) Received but not Realized? | Romans | GeorJoy | 90158 | ||
My question was, and is as follows; Can one have received the Holy (GHOST) and not know? I have yet to come to a conclusion based on scripture. I mean no offence to anyone but, I prefer a response from one who has experianced the utterance of toungs. I invite NO debate on toungs, the Holy Spirit, or anything other than the question presented herein. George |
