41 | Consists Not in Words But in Power? | 1 Cor 4:20 | Immanuelsown | 206783 | ||
bowler, Your statement "The whole church is built on the word of God, which has the power." Yes, the whole church is built on the word of God, which is Jesus Christ, which has the power! But Paul is talking about something else. 1 Cor.1:17, 2:4-5 1 Thes. 1:5 In Him Imm |

42 | Men having long hair a disgrace? | 1 Cor 11:7 | Immanuelsown | 208617 | ||
srbaegon, Just wondering why your answer is ----"In both cases, the answer is most likely," "No." Is there anyplace where it says, they had short hair? Or do we assume this, because it was the custom of the time? Or do we get this belief from 1 Cor.11 where it talks about being covered, shaved, shorn, or in verse 14 "if a man have long hair it is a shame unto him" ? The question then arises, why then was it not a shame for Samson, and Samuel to never, in there lives be allowed to cut their hair? Although Samson's was cut once. Seems like long hair to a man is either a shame or it isn't, vow or no vow. We may say, "it was different in Old Testament times." But isn't it believed that John the Baptist, may have also been under a Nazarite vow, also having long hair. I'm not defending long hair for men, just cant see where it is ok one time, and not another. It would appear as though Jesus would have had the Vow of a Nazarite on his life, more than any man ever born, In Him Imm |

45 | Why is death God's enemy? | 1 Cor 15:25 | Immanuelsown | 207506 | ||
FlintyJoe, Three times in this thread, people have posted, "It was not in God's plan, (purpose) for us to die." If we believe God is Omnipotent, Sovereign, then we also have to acknowledge, He did know, it was in his plan, purposed for mankind. On the grounds, as it is regularly posted, "Before the foundations of the world, God predestined who would be in Christ Eph. 1:4,5 In Him Imm |

46 | Death God's friend or enemy? | 1 Cor 15:25 | Immanuelsown | 207548 | ||
FlintyJoe, quote; "You're not bursting my bubble, but I doubt most believe they won't receive everlasting life until after the 1,000 year reign and Satan and the demons have been released to tempt perfected humans again." Eternal life is instantaneous upon conversion. We don't have to wait to die, we are dead in Christ, through baptism. "They think - you die, your judged, you live on a cloud. After all, have you ever went to a funeral where the minister said "Joe is now burning in hell, you can stop praying for him." No. No matter how bad the person, now that he's dead, he's in heaven with Jesus." You will never hear anyone, say anything bad, about the dead, except maybe Hitler. In Him Imm |

47 | Who constitutes the church? | Eph 4:3 | Immanuelsown | 206003 | ||
Who constitutes the church? Body of Christ? With all of the different churches, religions, denominations. How do we know which one is right? Eph.(4:1-6) Because there is one body, and one Spirit. So I guess my question is, with all the divisions what religion, denomination is the body. |

48 | catholic and protestant salvation view | Eph 4:3 | Immanuelsown | 206032 | ||
I am new to the forum, I know these posts were made in "02" but there is scripture speaking to this matter. So I am posting now for people in "08" and beyond. Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. There have been 1,000,000's of Jews in the last 2,000 yrs. that never had the chance for a Salvation of Faith. Based solely on the fact, they were Jews, and therefore blinded to the saving grace of God through Christ. Felt there should be mention of this fact. Puts the case forward for Predestination. Joe made a statement, that sounds like a contradiction of Predestination. 05/26/02 at 9:57pm "It is a matter of the WILL to believe, not the brainpower to do so". Puts the case backward for Predestination. total 1 for-1 against stalemate. |

49 | Who constitutes the church? | Eph 4:3 | Immanuelsown | 206037 | ||
Lionheart, Thank you for your answer, (1Cor.12) Is more about how the body is to function, and about the gifts of the Spirit. Jesus said, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: (Matt.12:25). We are divided, and have been for along time. According to what Jesus said in this verse, WE, all of the Denominations, are doomed to failure, desolation. Knowing this, why do the denominations refuse to fellowship together. Why is there no one denomination to define the body? My question was: "Who constitutes the church? Body of Christ? With all of the different churches, religions, denominations". I asked it the way I did because, that's all we know. Every Denomination, Espouses the Truth, but it is the Truth as they see it to be. It really Hurts, Greaves my spirit, to see the divisions MAN has created. They weren't created out of Love for the Brethren, they came about mostly because of Pride. Sorry to get on the soapbox.

50 | Who constitutes the church? | Eph 4:3 | Immanuelsown | 206055 | ||
DocTrinsograce, I appreciate the input, I found the same type of verse, Matt.13:30 although your verses, and mine, make it sound like we, were sown into a field of Tares, instead of the other way around. However Eph. 4:11-16 Sounds more like a body that can be seen, powerful, vibrant the body isn't supposed to be invisible is it? Universal Church yes, in today's terms though, that only means Global. We as the Body of Christ are to be more than that, we are to be a light to a dark world. Luke 11:33, Matt. 5:14. We are to be in Unity as Christ, and the Father are. Jon. 17:21-23. The reason for all this, is so the Jews will be provoked to Jealousy, it's not all about us, being gathered from all the denominations of the world, it's how do we as the Body of Christ, become a witness to the Jews. Rom.10:19, Deut.32:21, Rom.11:11,12 How can this be accomplished, if we are Invisible. There isn't anything of the Church as it stands today, the Jews want any part of. They look at us as we are, Divided In Him Imm |

51 | Rejection means never knew? | Eph 4:3 | Immanuelsown | 206121 | ||
Stjohn, Child of God, I would suggest, in Love for the brethern. Both of you go back to 2 Pet. 2:1 and see, just who Peter is talking about,"warning us about". Peter is saying there will be False Teachers, like the False Prophets. Then we are told what will happen to them, and why. 2Pe.2:12,13 I think you both could agree with this assertion . "They ARE NOT SAVED"! They never were. The Teachers. We don't need the Whole counsel of Scripture, the ones I've posted are enough, to understand this chapter. In Him Imm |

54 | best time to pray? | Eph 6:18 | Immanuelsown | 208478 | ||
deaconpresident, We are told in the Bible many times, and in many varied was, to Pray always. We are to Praise God, Worship Him, Give thanks, Sing Psalms, Hymns Spiritual Songs, Worship Him in Spirit. You will find, when you are with the Lord all the time, your Prayers (per se), are taken care of, as the day proceeds. But if your question is more precise, as to the best time of the day, for your daily Prayer. Leave that up to the WILL OF GOD in your life, He will let You know, when he wants to talk to you personally. Listen for that still small voice. God will set a time for you, when you are quiet, in Spirit, and Mind. Let Him lead you! Psa. 34:1 1) I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Prov. 8:17 17) I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Luke 18:1 1) And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 1 Thes. 5:17 17) Pray without ceasing. Eph. 5:18-20 18) And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 19) Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20) Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; In Him Imm |

55 | Exasperate - examples? | Col 3:21 | Immanuelsown | 206303 | ||
getsmart, I don't read the NASV or The Amplified, so I got a completely different take on the whole thing. ( KJV ) Colossians, 3 21) Fathers, (PROVOKE) not your children to anger, lest they be (DISCOURAGED). Check out the 2 words in the regular dictionary, and the Strongs concordance. Here is a link for www.e-sword.net it will give you the passage, then by each word you will find, the Strongs deff.# Sometimes you just need to look at things, from a different perspective, it's more than setting rules, for your kids.

stjohn, op's sorry, I didn't look at the date, only the post, Exasperate - examples? getsmart The answers given, sounded like they were trying to figure out wether or not, the assigning of rules for there kids, would in some way frustrate them, and that someday the kids would know they had acted foolishly. These are their answers given, in order 1) dmspen "Clearly we cannot, as parents, not set limits or rules. I believe the context here is that we shouldn't set rules that we, as our children's role models, don't follow" 2) cjjeep "sometimes in spite of everything you've done, your children can continue in rebellion nevertheless" "they'll come back and admit to you that they had acted foolishly in their youth" 3) biblesawyer "When my kids do something wrong like they fight sometimes, and don't listen about picking up there mess of toys,.I make them aware of the consequences to there choices" The word Provoke, gives a meaning, that it seemed was missing, in the answers given to getsmart. If you had a Tiger in a cage, and you poked him repeatedly with a stick, do you think, you would get a reaction? Would you be expecting to see, the Tiger roll on it's back and puuur, like a kitten? Provoke in this instance means to Premeditate the outcome of your actions, towards your child, to bring about ANGER. Discouraged, because you are in authority over them, and you are abusing that power, (frustrated) would work in this place as well. Because the child is not aloud to retaliate. From the following definitions, I didn't see where the answers applied, to the verse in questin. As I saw it. Makes me think, of the line in the Lords Prayer, where WE as the CHILD pray, "Lead us not into Temptation" Isn't that what the Forum is for? To clarify scripture, to come to the full understanding of a verse, to me the (KJV) gave a different approach, that's all. Just a question for clarification, this isn't a (NASB, Amplified) Forum only is it? The Free Dictionary Google provoke Verb [-voking, -voked] 1. to deliberately act in a way intended to anger someone: 2. to incite or stimulate: 3. to cause a person to react in a particular, often angry, way: 4. to bring about: [Latin provocare to call forth] pro·voke (pr-vk) tr.v. pro·voked, pro·vok·ing, pro·vokes 1. To incite to anger or resentment. 2. To stir to action or feeling. 3. To give rise to; evoke: 4. To bring about deliberately; induce: Synonyms: provoke, incite, excite, stimulate, arouse, rouse, stir1 These verbs mean to move a person to action or feeling or to summon something into being by so moving a person. Provoke often merely states the consequences produced: The reason I made the distinction between the different translations was, I always read the verse posted at the top of the question asked, in the KJV also I'm sorry, but to me the word exasperate, doesn't carry the same weight that provoke does, to me it sounds like it is something that happens to make the situation worse than it was, where provoke, caused the situation in the first place ex·as·per·ate (g-zsp-rt) tr.v. ex·as·per·at·ed, ex·as·per·at·ing, ex·as·per·ates 1. To make very angry or impatient; annoy greatly. 2. To increase the gravity or intensity of: synonyms aggravate, exacerbate anger - infuriate, incense worsen Hoping this will answer your question, tried to make it short as I could. It all comes down to a different interpretation of the verse. Yes the word provoke was in the Amplified, but with all of the other words there also, it still didn't sound as clear as it does to me in the (KJV). Sorry, but thats my opinion. Colossians 3:21 (NASB) 21) Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart. AMPLIFIED 21) Fathers, do not provoke or irritate or fret your children [do not be hard on them or harass them], lest they become discouraged and sullen and morose and feel inferior and frustrated. [Do not break their spirit.] (KJV) 21) Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. In Him Imm |

60 | Fruitless Scripture Discussion? | 1 Tim 1:6 | Immanuelsown | 206785 | ||
bowler, In the full context of what Paul was saying, there were reasons for his admonition to Timothy, in direct relation to what Paul said not to talk about, or the people not to talk to. Because they gender strife's, both topics, and people. As far as us, (believers) having a discussion, there shouldn't be any topics we could not talk about. Whenever we are engaged in a conversation, we know when it heads into the direction of controversy. In the case of the Forum, there isn't anything inherently wrong with any topic to be discussed, the problem arises because it is an (Open Forum), and there are some brothers that don't have the knowledge, understanding, thereby possibly causing them difficulties in there own walk Romans 15:1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 1 Timothy 1 3) As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia,( that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine.) 4) Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. 6) From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; 7) Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
